Hunan Garden — Restaurant in Kearney

My friends and I were in route to Nordic Fest ‘24 in Decorah, IA when the hunger pains started being felt. Being from out of town, we had no idea where to eat at in Kearney, so we started searching. We pulled into the parking lot thinking Conrad’s Local Kitchen & Patio was our destination, however, after comparing the signage we heeded the Oriental call and chose Hunan Garden. The choice couldn’t have been better. We walked in and were immediately met with a beautiful banner noting that Hunan Garden has been voted the Best Oriental Restaurant in the Northland for the past 9 consecutive years. Let me say…the vote is for real. We all ordered different entrees. I had Sesame Chicken, which was top notch. Everyone else loved their meals with the exception of the egg rolls. We couldn’t get onboard with them, but that was okay. The water was good and the service was amazing. Our server was so quiet and polite making sure our waters were always topped off. I really liked that little guy who we named Toby. The atmosphere was very still and subdued. When we entered there was a mother and son and that was it, which seemed a bit odd for a restaurant of this fanfare. But in the matter of minutes, the place started filling. We had a great time. To cap it off, we knelt for a picture in front of the impressive fish tank, which contained a fish that literally has the look of a human face. In fact, if you zoom in on our picture, you can see his shiney face. What a way to kickoff our Nordic Fest ‘24 run. So glad we...

Best Chinese food I've had in 15 years! We got lo mein, sweet and sour, and sesame chicken and we all shared off each other's portions and enjoyed every bite! The service was very attentive and fast, we waited nor wanted for a thing. Excellent place to eat! Also very reasonable prices. The only criticism I would have is the menu, although it had all the choices I was looking for, did not say what came with our food, so we asked our server and white rice did come with the platters we got, although 2 of us opted for fried rice instead. No big deal. All in all, we stuffed ourselves with great food and had a good time. A win in my book!! Keep up...

Food was prepared very quickly and tasted great. Service was decent. The place needs a good deep cleaning though. Carpets were very gross and stained. Exhaust vents in ceiling were black and everything was very dusty. They had a lot of cool knick knacks to look at if you could get past the thick layer of greasy dust on all of it. We were there right before closing and at first the service wasnt great but it turned out ok. The lady checking us out was very kind and friendly and appreciative to have our business. I was wanting to eat at a buffet or Panda express but this was all we could find in the area and it didnt dissapoint....
