This place has been around for over 40 years. Really great food. Really great service. You actually don't want to go to a 4 or 5 Star Chinese restaurant. Three-star means it's pretty authentic and you're going to get good food. It was very quiet but it's great for kids. Lots of things to do outside. Fast service can't complain read more

Actually pretty good test! Pretty big portions... And they are working more delivery style. Looks not prepare restaurant. There is one table, young men was eating but It's little dark inside and the chairs flip overed. Only thing is the lady who take the order very unhappy and a bit impolite! No any mimic! And there is a big transparent wall between us and ( I think it's from Covid time) she doesn't hear me! But my point is it's easy to understand I am beginner for the order in this restaurant. I order chicken with mix vegetables and beef with mix vegetables. And I ordered white rice. She asked me large or small and I said large! But she didn't warn me about there is already white rice with the main orders! It's not big issue! My concern is, this little detail make me happy as a customer ! Do you know what I mean! We even didn't finish one of white rice anyway! Now we have white rice minimum 4 days and we will not eat and it will go to trash! It's a shame! You know what! Life is the details...

Singapore Fried Rice I was excited about this different spin. I was very disappointed at the execution. Firstly the amount of curry spice was nonexistent, instead to get the heat they used chili oil. The spice level was overpowering, making it inedible. The shrimp were so small that it seemed like ones that you would get from the pet store. The redeeming quality was it was the lunch hour so the price was lower, meaning I didn't waste too much money. Service was friendly. Ample parking. While it didn't feed my soul, maybe it feeds yours? read more

Is this GREAT chinese food - no. That said, for take out in HoCo it's one of the best options. They consistently get your order right, and if you liked a dish you got before, it's going to be just as good the next time. They are very reliable. The shrimp is generally a step or two above what I would expect at a chinese take-out place - being both larger and more flavorful. This place really is as advertised. What gets them a step up is the customer service. Orders (we usually order around 5-6pm on Saturdays) are ready in 20 minutes and nicely packed up. I've never had a missing item or something mixed up. The woman who works the register is always quick and very nice if it's a quieter day - efficient if it's busy (and that's okay). Right now they still seem to be exclusively take out, but aside from special events going on in the plaza, I rarely saw many people dining inside. Though, my favorite memory of this place (and one reason I'm loyal to them) is when I took my daughter to get medicine for her ear infection, I got stranded with a dead battery for a couple hours. We spent most of the time in the restaurant (before COVID), and despite only ordering a couple things, they were perfectly fine with us camping out there, and even found some pens and paper for my daughter to play with and offered me some free tea while we waited. read more

The atmosphere needs a little help but the food was delicious. I got the lunch special chicken snd vegetables. Food was awesome and there was a lot i had to take the rest home. The egg roll seemed to be just a cabbage roll and very bland. read more

I order here often for lunch. Their crispy shrimp rolls are pretty amazing. The service is always quick and delicious!

It's a secret gem. Always wonderful food. I just don't think that many people know about this place because of the location but it's really really great. Also if you're vegetarian, there's plenty of goodness for you to enjoy read more

Wow! Best chinese ive had in a long time. Fresh and delicious. Not all greasy and covered in gravy like lots of places. YUM read more

Not sure why they got such bad reviews the food was great. They even put the rice and brown sauce in separate containers. I got the shrimp and broccoli and it was really good! highly recommend it read more

I hate to do a review like this because their food is good. They are pricey but it's kind of worth it. HOWEVER, they charged me twice for my meal and refused to offer a refund for the second charge. Gave me an excuse told me to check that evening or the next day for it to return to my account and its day 2. They are refusing to refund it or do anything basically telling me to wait. Be careful using your card. Also, tried to pick up my father's order same time, cashier refused to give me the order because I said Singapore noodles and not curry said the rest of the order correctly just not that. Gave her the name on the order and she still refused to give it to me. At this point I will never order food from here...good or not. read more

Worst Chinese takeout I've ever had!!! Overpriced and screwed up my order. I said hot and sour soup. Got home and it was a most bland wonton soup...ugh. My guess is they were out of hot/sour and substituted thinking I would find out until I got home...then it's too late. Other food was mediocre at best. I bought $65 worth of takeout, waited twenty minutes for it, and then was sorely disappointed when I got home. Don't go here. There are much better places nearby, and it's worth driving just a bit further to get better food. read more

The dinner combos are the best bang for your buck. Nothing blew us away individually, but it all tasted good. The meal as a whole was great and a fantastic value. read more

Compared to other Asian restaurants snd carry outs in the Columbia area, this has been the best experience for me. Each time I've ordered from here, the food has been fresh, hot and flavorful with large portions and a reasonable price. The combination lo mein is a winner! read more

It's here. I needed takeout. And it was convenient. Let's go. I saw "Singapore Noodles" on the sandwich board out front and so that's what I ordered when I got to the counter. A solid portion of noodles, nicely loaded with chicken and shrimp and vegetables. And just a little bit of spice to it to make it interesting. You can't beat the price, that's for sure. Service was good, the price was good and the food was good. I'm a fan! read more

So happy we tried Best Hunan for takeout last night. We had the curry chicken (good), szechuan chicken (amazing), egg rolls and the crab rangoons (excellent). We will definitely be going back read more

Best Hunan is fresh, delicious, and affordable. Truly the best I've had in a long time. They are consistently amazing!

Egg rolls have changed. Rice is real mushy. Food is touch and go! Shrimp fried rice -mushy and tasteless.

As similar to the other 2 reviews I wanted to get some simple carry out. They double charged my card and said i didn't pay for it. they told me come back later to solve this issue. read more

The food and the price here is great for what you get. My wife and I have been here twice and have done the dinner combo (entree, rice, egg roll, and a choice of soup) each time and that is enough for 2 servings. It takes about 15 minutes for them to prep it and comes out nice and warm. read more

Great food. Tastes healthier than other Chinese options. Friendly staff. Great place to come

This restaurant has of the best Chinese food in Columbia. We got the orange chicken and general Tso's vegetarian chicken and both were delicious. read more

This spot has vegan/vegetarian options that my meat eating friends said taste better than the meat dishes! I absolutely love the vegetarian orange and general tso chicken. Its closed for indoor seating but it's very clean inside and they are super efficient with getting orders out! It's a regular spot for me and vegan/vegetarian friends! read more

This is finally a Chinese place that is really really good in Columbia. The flavors are good, the time between order and ready is barely 10 minutes, and they seem genuinely pleased to have your business. I ordered the General Tso and Steamed Dumplings and both tasted great. The General Tso had good flavor with the right spiciness, and the dumpling sauce was quite good though I was surprised it was a little sour. This place is right next to the Harris Teeter that's hidden behind guildford rd. There's also a pizza shop, a cvs, a wine store, a McDonalds, and a restaurant called Corner Stable. p.s. I used to live in Baltimore County where there are plenty of good chinese places, but in Columbia, a good chinese place is extremely rare. Likely do to pf changs being stiff competition. As such, I am really excited to finally find quality chinese food in howard county. read more

This place should be called Worst hunan! Me and my daughter decided to try this place for dinner as my son was in a tutor class. Place was empty 6 pm, lady that met us was nice . My daughter ordered chicken lomein and since i was in Thai mood ( big mistake) ordered the Red chicken curry When the food came, i asked her what mine was and she said " red curry". Food was basically paste with no flavour and i was sooo dissapointed. My daughter ended up eating my white rice and shortly called it a night. Extremely dissapointed! read more

Best Hunan - This is NOT Red curry! Dissapointed - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I'm not exactly sure what I had for dinner tonight. I thought I ordered Thai food, but this didn't taste like Thai food. Is this what you get when ordering Thai food from a Chinese restaurant? It was pretty terrible. The shrimp red curry sauce was thick, gooey, sweet & bland & the shrimp was undercooked. The pad Thai was nothing like pad Thai & had thick, clumpy noodles with scorched vegetables. And the Thai fried rice had no flavor whatsoever. Just awful & disappointing. I only ordered from here because I needed a Thai place in the area that delivers. Never ever making this mistake again. read more

Best Hunan - Apparently this is "Shrimp red curry" "Pad Thai" & "Thai fried rice." - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Nothing awful ... Yet, nothing stellar either about this spot. It was more of a 'matter of convenience' for me to try it. I really had a craving for some good Chinese food and this came up on Yelp and since it's relatively close to my workplace, why not give it a shot, right?. Don't get me wrong, the serving was plentiful. I think it took me two days to finish (evidently, rice is NOT something they lack at this spot, It was practically, busting at the seems. NICE!!!!!!) But this makes me wonder - as it ALWAYS does, If I order a noodle dish/ combo, why in the world are you giving me rice? Give me extra noodles or some veggeis...SOMETHING/ ANYTHING other than rice. Why noodles AND rice?!?!? (never understood the logic w/ that. Anyway - I digress ...) 1) The Chicken Lo Mein - while plentiful and quite flavorful, was a bit .... ummm oily, shall we say, 2) The egg rolls were a little oily and super duper tiny! DELICIOUS but tiny. So tiny, I ordered another, as an appetizer. All that's to say, it's 'Meh' ... if ur in the area, and you want Chinese, go ... If you are traveling, don't go here. Go to "Hunan Manor" off Snowden River Parkway ... MUCH BETTER!!!! MY TIP for the 'to go' customer - When ordering a 'to go' order w/ a soda, the Sunkist is smaller than the other bottles (oz. wise) ... Beware!!! read more

Been my favorite restaurant for 16 years now! Never disappoints with delicious food and friendly workers!

I ordered the crispy beef (dine in) and the presentation looked great! But the taste was horrible- not only that, the food was cold! The reason this place deserves a one star is because she did nothing about it and said just eat it. DO NOT ORDER THEIR CRISPY BEEF! read more

This place is good for two reasons. It's cheap and it is right by my crib. It's a small restaurant but pretty clean. It's always empty in here but that is good if your dining in because the service is always tip top. They actually have both chinese and thai dishes here so there is a little more variety then a normal chinese restaurant. I like the won ton soups and pu pu platters. We also get singapore noodles every now in then when we want to kick in a little spice. I also like the fact that they leave the hot mustard and duck sauce on your table for the entirety of the meal. So three stars because I think it is A-OK. read more

The large spicy shrimp fried rice with shrimp egg rolls are addicting and only $12! How can you go wrong with that?! I love the spices they put into the spicy shrimp fried rice, you don't even need soy sauce to enjoy it! This place is very fast in placing orders. Definitely recommend! read more

Great place for flavorful Chinese! Upsides: food is fresh and flavorful. The price is standard for the portion size and location. Wait time for food is perfect! Love the fact that I don't have to use soy sauce or salt, as the food is always tasty! Downsides: service is average but friendly. We had to get the servers attention when my wife wanted a glass of water. The ambiance leaves something to be desired but is on par with the price level of the restaurant. My last visit (tonight) I ordered Hunan Beef (extra spicy), my wife ordered Kung Pao Chicken. Both were very good but mine was only "mildly" spicy (keep in mind that I consider a habanero a "moderately hot" pepper and a jalapeño is like candy). We travel here frequently (12 miles from our home) and have other options with Chinese. This restaurant by far, is the best Chinese we know of in the area. We have never had a bad experience. read more

Family-owned and friendly. Try the Tom Yum or other Thai dishes--very good. Updated review: restaurant has new owners and service and quality has suffered. Try Peking Chef at Hickory Ridge instead. read more

Best Hunan was mediocre for a few years, and we missed having a good Chinese takeaway nearby...so we've tried other places, with some success. BUT, we've tried Best Hunan twice lately, in a pinch, and it has been excellent. Szechuan Pork tonight, Chicken w/ Garlic Sauce and Broccoli, Hot and Sour (much improved) and Singapore Noodles. Everything was so delicious! More meals like this and I'll give my review 5 stars. Try them out! read more

Grabbed carry out from here tonight on a whim. Our kitchen is being renovated and we are getting desperate to have an actual meal. This was my first time ordering here and I ordered myself the Red Thai Curry (which was not red it was more of a white looking sauce) and it was nasty! It was really sweet with some spices, not what you would expect for good Thai food. Shame on me for ordering Thai from a Chinese restaurant. The chicken tasted and felt undercooked and I didn't even eat the meal. For my husband I ordered the General Tso's chicken. He was not a fan...they were over needed pieces of not so fresh chicken . Definitely will NOT ever go back here again. read more

The Chinese food selling Chinese Owner of this restaurant is extremely dishonest and very rude. This Chinese food selling owner of this Chinese restaurant is very proud of selling Chinese food ^^. Instead of asking for my menu first, she asked the purchase price of my home. Crazy!! And she said that the house below $450,000 is cheap and poor. I do not understand this lady's mentality. So she is very proud of selling Chinese food anyway. Also, she changed my order's side menu to the cheapest one to make more money of out that. She does not even put chopsticks or spoon to save money. This is not the first time. Food is good, though, since she is extremely generous of using a super strong MSG pouring down on food. read more

Customer service for me is and should be number one especially if you are spending money.. I was recommended to this restaurant from a co-worker. I had some time since I couldn't find the menu online I went inside to check the place out. Aside from feeling rushed by a middle aged woman at the register after telling her I needed a few minutes she still insisted on getting my order. I finally ordered chicken wings and fries. The total was $6 and some change. I asked if there was a minimum for debit cards and instead of answering she goes you don't have any money?? I'm like what is the minimum and finally she says $5..then I ask why did it matter if I had cash if that was the minimum and she basically ignores my question. I finally get my food after about 15 minutes. I asked for salt which they didn't have and ketchup that was actually not even real ketchup. My chicken had so much grease when I bit inside the chicken the grease just dripped all over my clothes. I let the chicken sit on napkins to soak I the grease. The chicken wasn't crunchy to be considered fried. What a disappointment..I will NOT return!! Maybe other food there is good but I wasn't satisfied!! read more

Best Hunan - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Ordered chicken and broccoli and it was not that good and price was totally different after I sat down. Buyer beware

Beware this review is for take out and I always order the same thing. Call me crazy but I haven't had anything but the fried chicken, but in my defense it's really good! Especially with those hot sauce packets. The family that runs this place is always nice and I love ordering here! It's quick, easy, and right next to the liquor store. Nothing's better then chicken and beers! I think I'll eventually try the Chinese food, but I'm so hooked on those bags of chicken wings! read more

Keep looking for decent Chinese food in the area. Ordered tonight, Kung Pao, Lemon Chicken, and General Tso's. Egg rolls aren't seasoned particularly well, and none of their components really taste like what they are... cabbage, shrimp, etc. but they don't totally taste like cardboard either. Hot and sour soup was decent... again, a little weak on flavor, but the more I ate, the more I liked it. The fried rice that it came with had very little flavor, and that includes the frozen carrots/peas. Lemon chicken was fried/breaded well, the lemon sauce was decent, but very harsh, like typical lemon juice that you get from the store. Not even served with a real lemon. Kung pao was tasteless, using frozen broccoli chunks, chicken slightly on the soggy side, and a very oily sauce. General Tso's shared the sauce problem, and again, had a relatively weak taste. read more

Food was pretty average. We got the General Tso's chicken and the Cashew Chicken. Both were lacking any flavor and had way too much oil in them. They need to step it up a couple of notches to get any new customers. read more
