    I have seen a lot of bad reviews on here, BUT Hunan has really gone back to its delicious roots - so fans rejoice! I had a full dinner: sizzling rice soup, eggroll and sweet and sour chicken. I am always a fan of sweet and sour, but Hunan does it best - soft and crunchy breading on hand cut chicken. No cardboard, pre-cut frozen stuff. Sizzling rice soup was amazing! It had a great fresh seafood taste without any unpleasant fishyness. All in all, best Chinese food in Lexington - and perhaps the only quality Chinese around. If you had it in the past, there is a new chef, so give it another try! You won't be disappointed!

    Hunan, By Parham P Baker This, for many years, was my go-to place for lunch. It was simply amazing. I loved their hot and sour soup and their beef with snow peas was my favorite dish. Their Mu Shu pork was fantastic and garlic shrimp simply the best. The staff were fun and always greeted me when I arrived. I just returned back after a several year hiatus fully expecting to write a rave review of my favorite Asian restaurant in Lex. I arrived and it looked pretty much as always. It took a while to get a menu and I was disappointed that several of my favorites from years past were no longer on the menu, especially my beef with snow peas. I ordered beef in garlic sauce, fried rice and hot and sour soup. My soup came out fairly promptly but I could tell just looking at it that it was not the same as before. Not as deep of a color to the stock. It was "OK" but not nearly as good as the prior recipe, nor was it much warmer than room temperature. A trifle underwhelmed right off. They also brought out the fried wonton bits but I usually don't try those. My main course arrive, and it was hot. Looked good. Large portion. Dig in! It was good, but not overwhelmingly delicious. Quite a nice variety of vegetables and a good quantity of the beef. While not as tenders as my old standby dish had been, it's constancy was OK. The sauce was pretty good, but I could have used a little more of it. The fried rice was not nearly as good as the old version. Back in the day, this would have been a $5.00 dish. Now it's $7.95 Oh well, can I roll back calendar a few years and try it again? I got the bill on my table just minutes after the main course, and while I did get a drink refill, there wasn't much more in the arena of service, and there certainly was no smile. I may go back and give them another shot, just for old times sake. AMBIANCE-3, FOOD-2, SERVICE-2

    I had written a review for this place earlier, and for some reason it got filtered by yelp. This is one of the worst chinese restaurants I've been to. Like the first reviewer, I also grew up in lexington and have fond memories of this place, but either it's changed or my tastes have. Anyhow, I went maybe a year or two ago, and we order the spicy wontons, and what we got was a bowl of soggy thick wonton skins with just a bit of meat in them - very disappointing. The other things we ordered were just okay - little bland standard americanized chinese food, but more expensive than it is typically. Service was good, atmosphere was nice.

    Only place for AUTHENTIC Chinese food in Lexington! As a native born Lexingtonian and foodie, I'm familiar with the various Chinese restaurants in town and they're essentially all Americanized Chinese food, except for Hunan (although they have that stuff too, which is great when you're bringing a large group or family with folks who are less adventurous). Going to Hunan is like eating at some of the better Chinese restaurants in Atlanta along the Buford Highway, where I lived for many years. I've had the spicy fish pot, mapo tofu, Sichuan wontons and more, and have been very happy with everything. We've been eating at Hunan since it was the Imperial Hunan in Woodhill Shopping Center, and though the previous owners were great people and the food was always OK, it was nothing like the current owners and their preparation of real Chinese food. Of course, eating real Chinese food sits better with your stomach and is so much healthier, in addition to simply being delicious. Service is wonderful and prices are probably cheaper than they should be. The owner came and talked to us at our table and was very friendly. We even talked about Asian supermarkets in town and he brought us some delicious and complementary noodles. If you are tired of eating same-old Americanized Chinese food, venture over to Hunan for lunch or dinner and you will be very happy you made the trip! Just don't forget to ask for the Chinese menu!

    Hunan used to be one of the best, unique Chinese restaurants in Lexington, but it has really gone downhill. The changes I noticed under the new ownership: -The sesame chicken no longer has the amazing light, crispy breading. And the quality of the chicken meat has gone down (white/dark mix, too much breading, fat and gristle in meat) -The Pork Egg Foo Young was flavorless, as was the sauce that came with it. -They no longer have a unique recipe for their Hot N Sour soup, which was really good. Now it tastes the same as at every crappy Chinese buffet in the USA. In the past I was willing to pay Hunan's higher prices for their unique dishes. My bill for tonight's terrible delivery meal (sesame chicken, pork egg foo young, and hot n sour soup) was $28. You would have to pay me at least that much to eat this food again.

    I recently went there with my girlfriend while visiting home from California. We thoroughly enjoyed the authentic fish dish (forget the name) and the Americanized classic General Tso's Chicken. They even have beer here, and we selected an imported Chinese beer to go with our meal. Will dine again the next time we're in town!

    This place has been the best forever. It is a little more expensive than your regular pick up joint but go in this place is amazing!

    I have eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants in my life. Usually there are two types-- americanized, and authentic. I was not expecting authentic when I went to Hunan, and I was correct in that assumption. Unfortunately, the food is also terrible even by americanized chinese food standards. I had possibly the worst won tons in my life. They were like big soggy greasy sugary lumps of dough, I also got chow mein, and it was poorly executed, greasy and largely tasteless. The service was so-so, not good or bad really. The decor inside is..... well, hideous. Overall, I can not think of any reason why anyone would like this place. Panda express is better. Seriously.

    Food wasn't very good and there was a least one dead insect on the plate.

    i am SOOOO stoked to write a review for this place! I grew up down the street and frequented here for family dinners. Growing up, this place was where i developed my palette for Chinese food (also, i may add that my family was one of the very few asians in this community so we felt the need to congregate... or so, i like to think). People might say that its not that great but to me, this place is what chinese food is. It's greasy, sometimes salty, sometimes not enough salt, and yummmmy. It's been about 20 years since i've been to this place... and i still remember loving their mongolian beef!!! My dad's favorite was their combination lo mein. :D I'm glad to see that this place is still around and i would definitely make a stop if i'm ever back in LEXINGTON!! i wonder if that framed poster in the lobby area with the illustration of all the different types of asians is still there......)

    We used to enjoy it a lot - it used to be very fresh, with good spices. But the spicy dishes are blanded-down now, possibly due to the Lexington audience. The service is so-so, and slow - so we just do take out every time. The restaurant inside is okay, but not fancy.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
