We ordered takeout and the food all came out hot and freshly made. It was a huge order for a group…read more I got chicken and broccoli and asked that it be boiled instead of fried, and ordered a large order of egg flower soup. My sister got steamed veggies so I stole some of hers and they were steamed to perfection! Delicious bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms and carrots. I ate my own steamed broccoli but was not a huge fan of the chicken. And that's only because it's thighs and not breasts, and I don't like the texture of chicken thighs. I ate a few bites and it was good, but I just didn't like the texture . But if you like chicken thighs, then you would like this. Now for the egg flower soup!! So good! Lacking a bit on the egg but full of broccoli, carrots, peas, onions and celery. I devoured the small cup they gave me and saved the big cup for leftovers. Very good!! Their hot and sour soup here is delicious as well. I was happy and very full, but still ate that fortune cookie . Lots of leftovers!!!! Huge portions! My sister picked the food up so I have no idea what the inside looks like or how their customer service is. But they were nice on the phone when I called about making food substitutions prior in the week.

I found my new favorite local Chinese restaurant. These pot stickers are thick, fresh and…read moredelicious. The vinegar sauce they serve with it is just as delicious. I loved the fresh hot tea that was perfect while watching the rain and traffic go by outside. Now....this fully packed with fresh vegetables and meat War Won Ton soup was exactly what my bone marrow needed! What a delicious meal and great flavor! These guys got it down and especially with their customer service being as welcoming and friendly! Come on in, there is plenty of safe parking. They have ADA parking and inside seating as well. I was able to speak with a few of the other locals and they have repeatedly be returning faithfully over the years and I think I will be as well! The plates are huge and you will have leftovers for lunch the next day. No matter what you order it's always fresh, hot and delicious

Heading back from the Reservoir and it was after 8 PM in Oakdale. Nearly all restaurants, including…read moreGolddust next-door were closed. Felt like my grandmother's old saying that they roll up the sidewalks after 8 PM on a Sunday night. Beyond Taquerias, a couple of hamburger drive-ins that were still open, we found this Chinese restaurant. We arrived 30 minutes before closing, and they were definitely not happy to see us, but they were willing to serve us. We got the Hunan Villa's dinner which came with a Pupu plate and your choice of soup and your choice of entrée. We ordered the dinner for two as the Babes only grazes. They gave us settings for three, including for the soup without having to be asked. Both the Hubbs and the babes had fun with the Pupu platter. I was more tired than hungry, but ended up enjoying the food. It had that old school greasy spoon American Chinese flavor that I've been missing. The food isn't fancy, but it's plentiful and tasty and reminded me of the Chinese restaurants when I was a kid. The Hubbs chose Mongolian beef and we got tons of beef and I chose the honey walnut prawns and they gave us at least 20 prawns. The portion sizes were huge. I was expecting that they had provided food for three but when we got our check, they charged us the dinner for two. We took home the leftovers and there was enough food for two additional meals. Forgot to take additional pictures and the total came out to about $42. I had $60 on me in cash and left that to cover the tab and tip, since they stayed open late for us. Definition of cheap eats and we will definitely be back the next time we go to the reservoir.

If you ever drove up to Mammoth Lakes and are hungry, please stop by Hunan Villa for a quick lunch!…read moreOakdale city is a perfect half way point to stop too before you enter the Tioga Pass. Hunan Villa is spacious, neat and tidy! Their restroom is also clean. The staff were friendly while taking our orders. We could smell the delicious smell of our food being cooked from the kitchen area! We ordered the Mongolian Beef and Hunan Chicken to go. And OMG the portion!!! Our containers were overloaded with food! Chowmein noodles and fried rice were our sides. The staff even gave us free delicious hot soups and fried wontons and egg rolls! $12 something including tax for that much amount of food which could feed us 2-3 meals? Such a bargain! And the food itself, though a bit salty to my taste, was tasty ! We chomped down our lunch and enjoyed them so much. We had so much leftovers that we brought with us for dinner and breakfast the next morning! Best $24 ever spent! Thanks Hunan Villa for the affordable and delicious food!

The price is incredibly low given the quality and portion size you get. The dishes we ordered are fresh and tasteful, perfectly executed. the Hong Kong style steak is our favorite, arriving popping hot and absolutely delicious. They are clearly short-staffed, seating yourself, waiting to order, and getting the check took a while. That being said, the front-of-house crew was absolutely running ragged. It looked like only one person was handling the entire dining room plus takeout orders. Service was slow, but they were incredibly polite despite being so overwhelmed. Give them some grace, and enjoy some of the best budget-friendly food in town.

Charges for sauce- I want to start by saying that the food is delicious and the service is always…read moregreat. I genuinely enjoy dining at your restaurant. One concern I have is the recent charges for sauces on takeout orders. When dining in, sauces are provided at no additional cost, but for takeout there is now a charge for items like chili oil and even extra Sriracha packets. I understand that restaurants have costs to manage, and I'm not trying to be petty or rude. However, charging $1 for two Sriracha packets feels excessive to me. I would encourage you to reconsider these charges, or perhaps only apply them when a customer requests an unusually large amount of sauce. Small requests for condiments seem like a reasonable part of a takeout order, especially for customers who regularly support your business. I appreciate your time and hope you'll consider this feedback from a loyal customer.

My friend ordered the special pho large and I got the number 38 vermicelli with grilled beef and shrimp. The staff were friendly and pleasant. The food came out in a moderate amount of time. The food was fine, but not our favorite flavor profile. My friend really likes pho, so we get pho together fairly regularly. The broth and flavor of this pho wasn't the best and the serving size was on the smaller size for pho even though he got a large. The vermicelli plate was unusually sweet- both the beef and shrimp had a red sauce that was very vivid and unexpected. We both ate our food and enjoyed the meal, but will probably not be back any time soon. If you are in the area and craving pho- this was a decent place, the prices seemed standard, and there were limited food options when we were looking Sunday evening.
