Hunan — Restaurant in Ridgefield Park

Since I'm relatively new to the area, I'm still on the hunt for a reliable Chinese takeout place. Hunan Wok was one of several candidates in our regular commuting radius, so we decided to give it a go this week.

The restaurant shows clear signs of aging, with yellowed printout signs and a somewhat grimy eating space. There are a few tables and chairs for those who might opt to dine in, but bear in mind there are warnings against loud noise and boisterous conversations inside the restaurant. Service - both on the phone and at the counter - was brisk and neutral as far as friendliness goes, but I don't need a Chinese takeout order to be warm and chatty. I have my therapist for that. When it comes to food, I need it to be good. And fast.

To that end, orders are prepared with punctuality. After I placed my order on the phone, I was told my food would be ready in fifteen minutes. I often like to see how accurate these estimates are, so I glanced down at my watch when my bag of food was in hand, and was surprised to find that it'd been exactly fifteen minutes.

As far as our meal went, it was just okay. My usual order of beef and broccoli was definitely on the greasy side, and some of the meat was on the tougher side. Taste-wise, it was spot on. My husband seemed to like his barbecued spare ribs, but there were more large pieces of hanging fat on it than I would've liked. The value point also seemed off, since a ten dollar plus serving came in a small pint-sized container (at that, not quite filled to the brim)

Would I return? If I was in the immediate area and desperate for an immediate meal, I might come back. But there are a few others in the area I've tried that have hit closer to the target of...

the people here must have had crazy once in a while experience cause i went to this place a couple of times when it opened and then went again a second time a year after and i had a roach in my rice. I proceeded to call them and they said that sometimes they come with the packaging of the white containers. Obviously it was a way to play it off because it was in the rice but they took the rice back and asked if i wanted to order more, comical. save your money and frequent...

I purchased fried scallops and fried rice on June 27, 2018. I went to eat the food and to my surprise found a white maggot fried in my fried rice. This place is dirty!! I purchased food from this restaurant One time previously and the I should have known never to go back. The entire restaurant reeked of rottening trash. I just figured I would share this...
