Hunan of Fort Collins — Restaurant in Fort Collins

I went here with my family tonight, and we were very pleased. We started with crab rangoons, which were some of the best i’ve had, amazing texture, and fried dumplings, and which could use a bit more filling but were overall very tasty. For mains we got the crispy duck, sesame chicken, general tso’s chicken, and chicken lo mein. The sesame chicken was wonderful, i’m not usually a fan of the dish because it’s often just blandly sweet, but this had a full flavor with a tiny bit of spice to it, and a great crispy texture. The general tso’s and lo mein were both quite good, nothing especially remarkable, but no complaints. The highlight in my opinion was the crispy duck. SO rich and perfectly crispy, with a nice layer of fat, and served with a side of plum sauce to balance it out. I know this isn’t up everyone’s alley, but it was wonderful for me. Everything came with a small side of steamed broccoli, which was a nice touch. The service was great, the hostess and the lady who bussed our table were both so sweet. Our server seemed a bit intimidating at first, but we soon realized she was very efficient and polite, just not conversational, which was not an issue in the slightest. The restaurant was very clean, and the atmosphere was low key, classic decor and some nice jazz piano playing in the background. It reminded me very much of the Chinese restaurants that my family frequented when I was a kid, all of which are closed in my hometown these days. It was a lovely little dose of nostalgia.

Had a wonderful experience overall, and will plan to return next time...

I went with a group, and we were quickly seated. The staff were very polite, and the menu had plenty of options. Their dinner combinations are a great deal!

I ended up ordering a mapo tofu; which was a little disappointing. The flavor was dull, the tofu wasn't silken, there were no vegetables or pork (commonly with this dish), and it was marked spicy but was just as mild as the sweet and sour chicken. I think I'd give this dish a pass if it wasn't disappointing in so many ways.

The orange chicken (gluten-free) was delicious! The sweet and sour chicken was delicious! The rice was perfect, and the lo mein was delightful!

I think I'd happily visit again, and just stay away from the tofu dishes next visit 😊 Overall a...

Ordered in via NoCoNosh for date night. Food got here well under the estimated hour. The main motivation for ordering was that they do a gluten free sesame chicken, which is one of my wife's favorite dishes. But she hasn't been able to have it in a long time since no one does it gluten free. Until this place! Well, we both agreed that this was the strangest Chinese food we've had. It wasn't bad, per se, but it was not anything like what we were expecting. The sesame chicken was kinda gluey and not crispy at all. But whatever, it was gluten free. We could kind of forgive that if it had also tasted like, well, sesame chicken. My wife said the only thing she could taste was black pepper. It wasn't bad, again, it just wasn't sesame chicken. I got the General Tso's chicken, and it was sickly sweet, almost inedible. Didn't taste anything like any other General Tso's that I've had. The egg drop soup was also way too salty for my tastes, but that could just be a matter...
