Hunan King — Restaurant in Columbus

As the newly coined saying goes, "If they can't afford the lights, you probably shouldn't eat there." While that's probably true, if you want cheap Americanized Chinese food and only care that it's edible, then don't let the darkened restaurant front scare you off.

The fried rice is yellow, first of all. And, while there were a few green onions, none of the other hallmarks of fried rice (e.g., peas, pork pieces, egg) were there. The taste is the same as the white rice. Which isn't terrible, but, sticky as it is, is perfect for chopsticks which, like the few other Asian restaurants I've been to, don't offer.

My friend got beef and veggies, and I got pork and Chinese veggies. Despite being differently named, they contained the same veggies, which were somewhat limp (although a few were crunchy), perhaps a result of mixing in fresher veggies with already steamed / cooked. The sauce on both was some sort of a brown sauce, which appeared to have been poured over the mixture rather than putting the mixture in a wok or other pan and stirring it together. A pool of oil settled around each platter.

The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 2 was because one dish can feed at least two and possibly three people. Especially if you get the mostly made of cabbage egg rolls and the all meat centered fried dumplings (aka potstickers).

The egg rolls, which I would never get again, were served with some gloppy, pink sour and sweet sauce. The potstickers were fine, and the soy sauce based dipping sauce was good.

A fairly large container of sweet tea, really sweet tea, was $1.75. It's fine diluted on a 1-1 basis with water.

There was no extra charge to eat in. And we ordered at the counter, but the food was brought to us.

With all that said, unless I were super desperate, I probably wouldn't go here again. Cheap food has its merits, but I'd prefer to pay more for...

Hello please share this I’m sorry to all of you whom may like it here but if I can I will be getting this placed either shutdown permanently or temporarily either way I’m never eating here again. This is HUNAN KING 2048 Lockbourne rd col,oh 43207. And as of yesterday me , my daughter and fiancé have all gotten Food poisoning to the point of using the restroom (if you know what I mean) projectile vomiting, nausea, my daughter had a running #2 diaper than was so bad she was screaming I’ve had food poisoning before but this is the worst I’ve ever seen it. If I move around too much then it’s like I’m ready to throw up I have contacted the health department about this matter and are trying to get someone out there today and we will be giving them the left over food to test. We all barely slept last night and I’ve heard we weren’t the only one who gotten sick yesterday after thinking back I never seen any of the cooks wearing gloves and they had containers out of chicken and beef and one person whom said they went in and saw them scooping meat out with their bare hands not washing in between touching pans, pots, utensils etc. Please do not go here! You have...

Tried this place out and ordered a couple egg rolls, beef mai fun, steamed dumplings, house fried rice, sweet n sour chicken, chicken noodle soup, and egg drop wonton soup. Order came as ordered except I think the wonton soup was wrong? I never had egg drop wonton soup but i assumed it would have egg in it, and mine looked like normal wonton soup. The mai fun didn't have much taste and the beef was tiny strips. The sweet and sour chicken was soft and not crispy, might have been our drive without steam escaping or maybe old oil. For those who know what im talking about, they use the red goop for sweet n sour sauce, not the kind with the peppers, tomato and pineapple. The hot mustard packets were kinda gross and not hot at all. The egg roll was small, just slightly larger than a spring roll. The steamed dumplings were good, and we really enjoyed those. The food was done really fast, expect your order to be complete in 15-20 minutes. I think we will keep looking for a cantonese place to...
