Hunan Delight — Restaurant in Bowie

My husband and I order quite frequently at this place (for the past 4 years) but the food quality has been going down hill. Each visit has been making it harder for us to return to this place.

This instance, I ordered beef chow mein expecting a dish with noodles. Apparently at this restaurant, you don’t get noodles for a dish that literally has the word “noodle” (mein) in the name. It only consisted of some beef slices with veges (onion, bean sprout, celery, and maybe Napa cabbage) in a sauce. Attached a photo. VERY disappointed.

Also ordered some fried meat dumpling, just to try it this time. The dumpling is actually “pan-fried” but only on one side and it tasted very doughy.

Another instance we ordered some beef fried rice but it had a very strong taste of shrimp.

It’s just a very disappointing experience every...

Besides checking on their permit, I will be requesting this place be scheduled for a food inspection. Perhaps the County/Bowie is not inspecting these places as they should, which could be a community...

The dishes I've had (listed below) are very satisfying. And for what you're paying, it's honestly a fantastic deal. One order actually satisfies my hunger and I can eat a ton of food. Chef's special chicken is very respectable. Actual thick meaty chunks of perfectly cooked chicken. The shrimp and bean curd items are also done well. General Tso's, orange, and sesame sauces are all good. The black bean sauce I felt was underwhelming. The dumplings are homemade but I find the flavor to be underwhelming and the dough seems slightly undercooked when I get them. Bottom line - tasty, plentiful,...
