Hunan Express Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Lower Allen

I tried this place because of the advice that the best Chinese food comes from 3 star places. Boy did that apply here! Customer service was prompt but lacked any friendliness. They weren’t rude or mean, just not friendly. I was fine with that, that means the food is going to be good.

I ordered a combination plate for Curry Chicken. It comes with pork fried rice and an egg roll. I did not expect to love it as much as I did. It was absolutely delicious. It was not sweet which was a huge plus to me, because nowadays all American Chinese takeout is sweet and it’s hard to find just a savory dish. Amazing!

The rice was flavorful and the pork egg roll was not playing around. A lot of times egg rolls are after thoughts and made cheaply. This was flavorful and delicious.

I brought home Szechuan chicken, which is a go-to staple for me. Usually it’s savory and spicy. This was fairly sweet and not as spicy as I had hoped. I don’t know that my son will eat this, but it’s alright. Good flavor, just not a fan of the sweet. Vegetables are nice and crunchy. All in all, definitely a place I’d...

This restaurant can be summed up with a few words: hit-or-miss. I've been here at least a half a dozen times or more and have found that it's a different experience every time I come here. The food can be delicious one week and then absolutely awful the next. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason, so take it as you will. But for less than $8 for a lunch, or $10 for a dinner, I guess you can't complain? Either way, this restaurant is alright. They take most cards, offer a buffet (which I advise you avoid at all costs), and do have seating inside, though it's dingy and unimpressive at best. Ordering out is a pain because the employees speak exceedingly poor English, don't relate back to you your order, and don't tell you the price over the phone often opting to just hang up immediately instead. If you want something cheap and wish to roll the dice on whether it'll be good or bad, this is the place for you. It's quick, it's affordable, it's quantity is pretty good. If you're expecting a good Chinese-American restaurant, well, I'd say...

I should’ve known better when I didn’t smell fresh food cooking when I walked in to go somewhere else, but since I was staying at the hotel nearby and didn’t want the fatty options nearby, I settled for this place. All of the food was way too watery as if they boiled the food too long. Boiling is probably all that’s going on back there! The fried rice did not taste fried and had no flavor, no egg, just watery rice and veggies. The cabbage had black spots all over it since it wasn’t fresh. I stupidly ordered the seafood platter, which was a watery soupy stinky mess that I couldn’t eat more than 2 bites of! And the egg roll was underwhelming, I’ve definitely had better! The only good thing I got was the crab Rangoon, which I’m sure wasn’t made there that’s why. If you order from here, make sure to grab a bunch of sauces on your way out (they won’t put any in your bag), because you’re going to need them to flavor the bland watery mess in your...
