there's more breading than there is meat. I don't think there's meat at all. Just order general Zhos. The recipe is not the right one. I'd rather eat cold Macdonald french fries from yesterday that was in a bag that was tucked under the passenger seat of a taxi. When HCA first came out that was some of the best Chinese food ever had in my life. Now it is absolute Oscar the Grouch garbage. It taste like white people cooked the Chinese food. read more

Ok I would like to start by saying I have never given a 1 star review, it's just not me. I just lived close by and have never tried this place before and wanted to see what it was about. But I walked in at 12:30 a typical lunch rush time to not one person in there which should have been my first sign. When ordering I noticed their soda fountain was out of order so I had to buy a bottle of water which I wasn't thrilled about. Then the food came out and the fried rice was so bland and kind of crunchy and not I a good way. The crab rangoons were also very flavorless and barely filled. The people in the kitchen and behind the register kept rubbing their noses with their bare hands too which really gave me the ick. And while I was eating I noticed ants on the floor and when I saw them I proceeded to stop eating and just threw my food away and left. I will not be returning. read more

We used to order from here almost every time we ordered Ameri/Chinese. Unfortunately there food quality dropped considerably after C0vid and we have not returned. Not sure what happened but their food quality has dropped to dried out meat/chicken and rice that is hard/old and clumped together. I do not recommend this establishment anymore! read more

so amazing!! love the food love the people!! Been coming here for month, perfect every time

generous portions of delicious food, very affordable pricing and great customer service

Love the fresh vegetables and the fact they are cooked to crisp tender in the stir-fry. I Also like that the stir-fry sauce (Szechuan) is tasty but doesn't overwhelm / drown the meat and veggies. read more

I've been to this before. Well, no, I haven't, I guess I've been to the other location, but they're a lot the same. And it seems like there was a different Chinese place at this spot maybe? Whatever, this is pretty much like the other HC Way location. Pretty straightforward stripmall Chinese American food. You can build your own stirfry. Pretty limited menu otherwise. I got the Uncle You's chicken, which is essentially General Tso's with a slightly different flavor. It's supposed to be spicy, but I barely detected anything. Good portion, tender chunks of chicken, crispy and in a tangy sauce. Served with fried rice (you get your choice.) Very nicely plated, for a strip mall place. I also got potstickers, again a decent portion, and good, with a slightly zippy sauce. Then I got pad Thai to take for work later. It was again a good portion, of decent food, good not great. A little heat. Loads of peanuts. Friendly counter service, clean place, good value. Nothing amazing, but it satisfied my Chinese craving for now. read more

By far the worse pad thai I've ever had. Almost no flavor. Hot and sour soup was the same. Super bland, had to put sriracha and soy in it, which I have never had to do before! Crab Rangoon was nice and crispy/creamy, but it's hard to mess up cream cheese fried in a won ton read more

A little lunch delivered from my neighborhood HC Way on Bethel Rd. Remarkably consistent Ameri-Chinese from this strip mall location, the Wonton Soup and Steamed Dumplings are always decent. Disappointed to see their sauced chicken wings are no longer offered? The Beef Lo Mein today needed a bit more umami flavor and maybe some more veggies but was otherwise chock full of tender velveted beef slices and a mountain of slippery mein noods. read more

I reviewed this years ago, but am changing my review to more positive. After living in Columbus, I realize that there are no good Chinese take out places around. This is probably the best because of the many options they give you to customize your food. While I still think more flavor needs to be added, I enjoy that I can make it stir fried or steamed. You can choose premade recipe ideas of completely make your own by choosing up to 6 veggies, a sauce, and protein. They are very quick and have gotten my order correct every time. read more

Continuously unpredictable but always mediocre. Pre-Covid their food was much better but now its disgusting. The won-ton soup was doughy, like the wontons were not cooked properly and the broth was oily and gross. I also ordered general tso chicken, and the first bite I got was a weird chewy texture, and the second bite had a stretchy rubbery piece in it that looked like a translucent rubber band almost. I am assuming it was the tendon of the chicken but i couldnt even tear it apart and I was disgusted. I threw the entire meal away. They have lost their good days and I will not be back. read more

Health safety issue - Absolutely do not eat here. I ordered the orange chicken today; took a bite and bit into something strong. It was the sharp metal foreign object in the picture. It cut the roof of my mouth resulting in bleeding. I'm completely disgusted by this experience. I called the store and spoke with the manager who said because I ordered through DoorDash they can't refund me. At this point the refund isn't the issue. The issues are a) that this could even happen to someone and b) no apology was given. I'm thankful I didn't swallow or choke on the object but I am completely disturbed by the whole incident. I want to give DoorDash big props for how kind and responsive they have been with an issue they had nothing to do with. Photo: Foreign steel object from inside chicken piece read more

Now this is not your authentic sit down fancy Chinese place, but it is a second best for sure. The value you get is awesome. Tons of food and good quality food for your money. I've received nothing but excellent service each time I've been in. The facility is always very clean. I highly recommend their soups! Any of their fried rice options are home runs too. read more

HC Way - Ordering station - Asian Fusion Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

A decent place to come for a quick meal that you can also make pretty healthy. HC allows you to create a Chinese meal your own way, adding and subtracting the things you really want. It's fresh, tasty and great for when I need something relatively quick. The portions are also pretty generous. I can definitely get two meals out of whatever I order. Everything tastes great. Although, it's not what I'd consider the most authentic Chinese cuisine. But their menu flexibility makes me not care. This location has a nice assortment of seating and in the mall it's located in, there is tons of free parking in the lot. read more

Stopped into HC Way around noon on a Wednesday. Ordered to-go at the counter, and was in and out in about 10 minutes. I ordered the pad thai and Uncle You's chicken. Both were super good and packed into large boxes. They seemed busier with pick-up orders but I was so surprised there weren't more people in there for lunch. Tons of space to sit down to eat, clean and comfortable. read more

HC Way? It's the brand new Asian bistro that just opened a couple weeks ago on Bethel Rd. It's made to order, better than average food court style Asian food. The food is alright, it's plenty filling and not too expensive for what you get. The place is brand new with a nice contemporary look. The employees are polite, friendly and very helpful. They have standard Chinese American dishes but they also give you the choice of building your own entree which is what I did. You order at the counter, you get a pager and then you pick up your food when they buzz you. That's called "The HC Way" and it goes like this: 1. Pick your protein 2. Pick the vegetables you want 3. Pick your sauce ie Teriyaki,, Kung Pao, Hunan, Curry, Mongolian, etc. 4. Choose your cooking style - steamed or stir-fry 5. Choose your starch - steamed, fried or brown rice or lo mein noodles I decided to try the Stir Fry Veggies with Shirmp and Hunan Sauce. It was decent and filling. The sauce was typical / forgettable but it wasn't bad. The portions were fairly large for the price as there was a surprising amount of food for the money. They didn't skimp on the protein and they did offer brown rice which was a nice surprise. The Hot And Sour Soup though... Erm... Have you ever had really bad Chinese buffet soup where it was really gelatinous, clumpy and kinda slimey? This is that soup. The portion was much larger than what any other Asian restaurant serves but it was really bad and I wouldn't bother getting it again. All in all, it's a 3 star restaurant and I would definitely go back again sometime to try some other combinations. Additional info: They offer online ordering They have a delivery service - $2 fee when your order is greater than $10. They have the option of create your own sushi read more

Just had an order of chicken pad thai, might have been the Best I have ever had! Delicious! Love their food

Tasty, fast, inexpensive and good - what more could you want from a fast casual Chinese restaurant?? And they do Thai Rolled ice cream, too! We'll be heading back soon. read more

I can't believe it's been three years since I visited. Well it is still good. I went with a fast and easy meal the Peppered Steak with rice and potstickers. After my 15 minute drive home it was still moderately hot and steamy which is good. Taste great. No dine in at the moment due to COVID concerns still but contactless Apple Pay is available, takeout, Grub Hub, Uber Eats, and Door Dash also available. Restaurant says it receives higher recommendation for Grub Hub and Door Dash. read more

Ahhh...I wanted to like this place, especially after having seen it got four stars; however, I was quickly disappointed. My boyfriend and I ordered takeout - Salt & Pepper Beef and General Tso's. The General Tso's was soggy and they both lacked flavor. Other than that, there 's not much more I can say. Perhaps I would be willing to give this place another shot? read more

Novel concept of Chinese food (self choices of ingredient combinations, as well as typical ones ); Cheap price; Clean and friendly envirionment. Before my first visit, I am a little hesitate seeing its name and not sure what I will get from it. Love this place. read more

I've only ever ordered through DoorDash, but even then the food was hot and fresh. Portions are generous and prices seem reasonable, even through DoorDash. Hot and sour soup is good but mostly hot, not much sour. Sesame chicken with fried rice is really good. The fried wontons are mid, nothing mind blowing but still okay. read more

I havent had Chinese food in so long! I was craving it today and decided to stop by here for my fix. Just moved to Columbus and this was my first visit here . The staff was great. Place very clean inside and out. The problem for me...the food! The fried rice had NO FLAVOR. Zero, none, zilch. The egg rolls were tasty but the size of spring rolls. I hope this isn't representing the best this area has to offer. I'd be hurt as Chinese food is one of my favorite cuisines. read more

I feel terrible giving a bad review. Service was great! The guys are really friendly and helpful. I really like the concept of HC Way. You can choose your meat, veggies, sauce, and cooking style. We were really excited to try it, but the taste of the food was mostly bad. First off, the Egg Drop Soup was absolutely the worst I have ever had. It was a gelatinous, watery mass with some egg in it. Horrible flavor. Horrible consistency. DH got beef and an assortment of vegetables. He said his zucchini was very good, but the beef was tough and full of gristle. My shrimp and veggies were okay. The shrimp were very small although they gave me a lot. The veggies were cooked just right. The white sauce was very bland. I normally don't add soy sauce to my Chinese food, but I had to add some to this dish. My daughter didn't like her dish either. She said the flavoring of the sauce was not as good as when we get it from our other places. Also, the "fried rice" is just yellow rice with a few peas, carrots, and onions thrown in. It was also a bit hard. We ended up paying quite a bit more for sub par food than we usually do for similar items at other places. read more

I love lo mein noodles, and rice is just okay. Finally a Chinese restaurant where I can order my favorite dishes like General Tso, Sesame Chicken, or whatever your favorite one may be, and get lo mein noodles instead of rice. read more

I'll just say... I really didn't like eating inside this place. I live right next door and was used to getting pretty standard American style Chinese food that just wasn't spicy enough. I originally left a 4 star review. But me and my husband went to eat inside here tonight because we wanted 0 clean up at home. All of the tables were dirty. The soy sauce was stuck to the table and left a black ring when picked up. It was also clogged on one side of the cap. Dust on a lot of stuff. Dirty windows. Sauce from past diners on the wall. I just imagine what the kitchen has to be like... I really want to like this place but dining rooms that have been dirty for more than a day is very... off putting. read more

HC way has potential they are never consistent with their quality of food. No matter what they really need to chop their veggies better, especially broccoli read more

Neither my husband nor myself felt up to cooking tonight, so we thought we'd make use of one of the coupons we received in the mail for this new HC Way location. I've never been to the other locations, but their reviews looked decent enough for me to want to check it out. It wasn't particularly busy when we arrived, which may have been because it's a new establishment or because today is a holiday. Either way, I appreciated the calm atmosphere. The interior is pretty sleek and contemporary & the overall layout of the restaurant seems to be pretty functional. I got the general tso's, and my husband got the orange chicken. We also got potstickers and crab rangoons. Overall, I'd say we enjoyed the food. Though we both felt like the potstickers had way too much filling, and my husband wasn't a fan of their flavor in general. Also, if you're into vegetables, the broccoli that was thrown into our orders seemed like a complete afterthought. We both found a couple of poorly cooked stalks of broccoli buried under our chicken. Being the dedicated carnivores that we are, neither of us was particularly bothered, but other people might find it off-putting. The portions are pretty good for the price point & we both have leftovers to snack on later. They do also deliver, which is nice. We'll probably go for that option next time. read more

I've ate here so many times! This is a favorite of my family's! They used to deliver to my house when we lived on the west side pretty regularly. Uncle you's is my fav!

I usually get carry-out but sometimes eat at the restaurant. The food is ALWAYS hot, fresh, and tasty. When I order online, my meal is ready when I arrive - every time! I highly recommend HC Way! read more

PERFECTION. If I could give this place more than five stars I would. I order food for pickup at least once a week and have never once had a negative experience. Food is affordable and served in large portions, it is always ready within 5-10 minutes, and has always satisfied me. The staff there is incredible. It is hard to find a restaurant staff that truly cares about their customers the way that HC Way does. Example: Today I placed my usual order of chicken fried rice but then realized I had left my wallet at the office. When I called back to cancel the order the manager (Tony I believe) recognized my name and order and allowed me to pick up my food anyways and pay at a later date. The fact that he was willing to do that for me is an example of going above and beyond that you just do not see in the restaurant industry very often. LOVE THIS PLACE. LOVE THE FOOD. BEST STAFF EVER. read more

Really wanted to like this place but I have to say, this was one of the worst Chinese food places I've had. I got the Mongolian Beef, Crab Rangoons, Fried Rice, and Egg Drop soup. Mongolian Beef - was a little too sweet, not very flavorful. Waaayyyy too many onions, not enough beef. Fried rice- just yellow rice with peas, carrots, and too many onions. Not good. Egg drop soup- too watery and no flavor. Crab Rangoon- was probably the only thing that was somewhat decent. read more

I ordered the cashew chicken and my wife ordered the king pao chicken. The portions were huge (we ordered the large) and the vegetables were very fresh but this is we're the compliments end. The vegetables were cut in such large pieces they were difficult to eat most weren't cooked at all; they were basically raw. The sauces had zero flavor and both dishes were extremely bland. We added soy sauce and the sauce that came with our egg rolls in an attempt to add or find some type of flavor in that food. The hot and sour soup had no flavor just heat. Egg rolls were unremarkable. Staff was friendly and the place was very clean. The food had no flavor , zero, none. We won't return. read more

I was pretty disappointed by my food here. I ordered the crab rangoon which was okay. However, the fried rice and orange chicken were really bad. Not sure if it's because I went later in the night close to closing time, but that's no excuse. Will not be returning. read more

Fast and hot, I like my delivery like I like my delivery :) Not a local any longer, but tried it out base on Yelp reviews. My husband got the general tso's which I feel is difficult to mess up. I wish it could've been a little spicier but then again, I should've requested in the notes. The highlight of my dish was the steamed dumplings and the sauce; very nicely done! Crab Rangoon was very nice as well, standard, but nice. We also ordered a chicken dish which wasn't super memorable as now I forget which one I ordered. The disappointing part was the hot and sour soup. Flavorless and that's why I'm knocking off a star. Looks pretty but pretty bland. However, cheap, fast and hot, so good enough and will skip the soup next time. read more

Have ordered from here many times in the past. In the last month or so, they seem to have a new chef. Hot & Sour soup went from spicy to searingly hot. We quit ordering it because it was hotter than we could tolerate. Now Singapore Mei Fun noodles & Phad Thai have gone from spicy to searing. We had to pitch them both because neither of us could tolerate. Guess I will stop ordering. read more
