Just had a terrible experience with this place. We stopped in to get a take out order. When we opened it at home the Qt. soup lid was half on and all the broth had spilled onto the remainder of the order in the bag. The brown bag was totally wet and falling apart--luckily there was a platic bag over it. However, the entire order was soggy as all the broth had gotten into the styrofoam square container near it and the boxed food below. The broth just dripped out of the styrofoam box when I picked it up as was the case with all else. I phoned the restaurant and spoke with a man (American, not Asian) and he immediately told me that it was our fault. That we were given an order that was fine and that he delivers and this happens all the time and that the order either must have tipped over because we didn't place it right in the car or we leaned on it. That's it. No "sorry, ma'am, don't know how..." Nothing like that at all. Just reiterated that it's our fault. Well, he just lost a customer. Last night we had ordered from New China in the valley and in spite of the bad weather, the owner dropped the entire order off and all was fine. Don't know who owns Hunan Express, but I doubt it's the rude man who answered the phone----when I told him he just lost a customer, he couldn't care less and told me to have a nice a day! Thanks to this man's reply to my call, we will NEVER give them our business again. There are plenty of other Asian restaurants in the area that have much better food and customer service.

I love Chinese food , I eat at 3 places this is usually my last place I pick its ok, people are nice. my preference is Dynasty we get allot of food a little more expensive only because we get it delivered. the other place is Panda express you get allot of food for lunch spend $7 could share with a friend or left overs for dinner...

I love their Lo Mein!!! It's not that ramen noodle crap with the weird white-ish sauce on it like at other places. We've ordered here a few times since moving here, and it's pretty legit. The orange chicken wasn't that great though - I think they mixed up our order. But like I said, the lo mein is a definite hit, as is the schezwan chicken. I think we'll continue to order from here until we move further East - but as for now, it will do.

If your Dr. puts you on a bland diet, go here! It was TERRIBLE. We got orange chicken, sesame chicken and fried rice. The sauces were super thin on the chicken entrees and the rice might as well have been white rice. We will never try here again.

I was craving Chinese food and in West County, a friend of mine had just moved out there and didn't really know which places were good and which were terrible. With a little help from yelp, we decided to try this place out. Jennifer B. was totally spot on in her review. This is some of the best Chinese carry out I have had in this city. The food is fresh and not overly greasy. The crab rangoons were crispy and cream cheesy, and enjoyed by all who partook, and the veggie lo mein was some of the best I have had, not only in St. Louis but in other cities as well. The establishment was clean, the prices were competitive, and the people were working were incredibly friendly and quick to get our order to us when we arrived. Though I would not make the drive from South County to get this Chinese since I have my own neighborhood Chinese Carry Out perfection down here, I will certainly stop in again next time I'm craving Chinese and I'm in the neighborhood.

Hunan Express does the fast and inexpensive Chinese food better than just about anybody else. We ordered two boxes of chicken fried rice and an order each of crab rangoon and fried wontons the night before last. The food was ready fast, the order was correct, the staff was friendly and the food was delicious! Not to mention that the price is in line with everyone else. There is an older gentleman working here with a bunch of teenagers, with possibly more people in the back. I think that the older man does the cooking. They are tucked away in a little strip mall that you can barely see from the main road. Check them out, you'll be glad that you did.

I am hooked. Ok, maybe borderline obsessed is more accurate with the Special Fried Rice from Hunan Express. I have the best boyfriend, a St. Louis native, who brings me a large order whenever he visits home. Twice this year, I had an opportunity to visit St. Louis on my own, so I had to stop at Hunan. Like seriously, it has to happen or I am likely to regress to a two year old and have a tantrum. I'm horrible, I know, but I love it! I don't know if we just have terrible fried rice in Indianapolis, but I have never had anything like it. The shrimp, beef, pork...drooling just thinking about it. It's freaking delicious. The service is pretty good. Prices are reasonable. Surprisingly I've had other things here besides the rice. I'm a big fan of sweet and sour chicken, but not a fan of the chicken at Hunan. It was overcooked and hard. The wonton soup was delish. I would definitely order it again. I just can't live without my Special Fried Rice! :-)

Depends on who's cooking that night. But normally it pretty good! They're inconsistent on how they prepare the food, & it's kind of a bummer. But it's good.

$5.25 Lunch Specials. 50cent add-ons (egg drop, won-ton) and the food comes out from the kitchen hot on a filled plate with the taste of what was ordered!

Had the orange chicken special. Disappointed as the chicken was like styrofoam instead of actual chicken chunks. They also take out a lot of the chicken and fill it with vegetables that weren't impressive either. Won't be going back.

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.
