Hunan Lake Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Mentor

I called for a pick up on a Thursday. The girl who answered seemed rude. I could barely hear her, and she sounded like she had an attitude. I got two orders of General tso’s. And one order of crab rangoons. My total was $29 something. Kind of expensive. The guy behind the register was more polite. My food was already ready for me when I got there. The chicken portions were good size. One portion can feed two people who are hungry. The rice portions are much smaller than any other Chinese place I’ve ever ordered from, my fried rice didn’t taste like fried rice. There was no egg, no vegetables or anything special in the fried rice. Just looked and tasted like steamed rice mixed with soy sauce for color. The chicken tasted decent. Kind of just tasted like it was from a buffet, that had been made in a huge batch and been sitting for a while, even though they weren’t busy. The crab rangoons are super yummy! My favorite part. I’d order crab rangoons from them again. All in all, not too bad. But...

I cannot recommend this place. I have ordered from them many times and in the past year Ive gotten sick 3 times after eating their food. I thought maybe it was me but again today I got egg drop soup, and egg rolls. I ate it and in 20 minutes I threw up. This has happened a few months ago and I got the same food. I had egg drop soup and it didn't taste very good or not what I normally was used to, but I ate it anyway and it came back up in 20 minutes. To be fair the food is normally fine but today it was bad. I don't know what was wrong but I won't eat there again and I can't recommend them. The shop is clean and very neat so cleanliness they get an A plus but food wise today it was very bad. For the record I never get sick on food I have a strong stomach but unfortunately I could not handle their food today. Maybe it was old or something I don't know but I won't get anything from them again. I'm a senior citizen if that makes any difference. I. will take them...

Wow. . read the whiny reviews of "it's inedible" and "it's bland", "the rice was hard", etc., etc. . .this is during The Covid Crisis. . .they said "15-20 minutes". .was quicker than that. . .no "mask required" sign on the door yet the employees were behind a wall of Plexi and wearing masks. . .only thing I didn't like was a single pen that everyone had to use to sign the credit card receipt. Food? While it wasn't overly flavorful, it wasn't too salty like most Chinese food. . .I got beef and broccoli and Won Ton and rice. . the rice was fine, could taste the beef and broccoli and it was a huge serving .add salt if you like. .not me. . .won ton was also good. . .all for $12. . .I'll have leftovers. . .shut up...
