Love this place and have been here many times. But just recently ordered many plates for coworkers and one had a big crawl out of their to-go order. I won't be coming back. Shocked. read more

Hunan Chef - Bug - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Oh no! The egg rolls are now the size of a finger for $2! Literally thinner than a flauta. Their egg drop soup is great, and I like all their food, but the egg roll is ridiculous. You can get two large egg rolls for $4 at Sushia in HEB! read more

Great food ! Adam and Delton really take care of you and great customer service will definitely be a return customer.

The chicken plate and wings had broken bone chunks. Very unsatisfied with the flavor of what I could eat.

Hunan Chef what is there to say about you? Are you looking for Chinese food? Do you want it to taste like standard Chinese food? Do you want it to be ready in ten minute to pick up, not offend you, not wow you, but fill your belly for a fair price? Well then Hunan Chef is the place for you. Dine in? Don't be crazy, the decor is minimal and not inviting, but looking for acceptable take-out in the 613 and this will certainly do. read more

My family and I walked in today expecting great service. Negative, the staff didn't even greet us when walked in, the restaurant had an odor, and unwelcoming attitude. After this reaction, it was a major turn off and walked out. Pretty sure the food is disgusting as well. Don't waste your time and money here. Possibly this place need to be shut down). read more

I haven't been here lately, like in two months. That is because when it firsted opened, we were there every week. After many many months of eating here regularly, you get tire of the same stuff. We have pretty much consumed almost everything on the menu. I was nice being a regular as you don't even have to tell them what soup you want. We walked in, grabbed a menu, sat at a table, and our soup would be deliveried. BF gets the Won Ton and I the Hot and Sour. Both of us think their soups are the best. Just keep in mind, it is just our opinion. The steak on a stick is sometimes overcooked but the sauce served with it, yum, oh so good. The steamed dumpling, another favorite, again the sauce makes the dish. Most of the entrees are good, again not mind blowing. Some are exceptional, like the Happy Family. Sauce good, ample proteins (shrimp, chicken and beef) and fresh veggies. Another excellant choice is the Chef's special beef, dam, this is good shit. And if you catch Laney, (the owner) on a good day. She makes out of this world spring rolls. The down side is no alcohol or a wide selection of desserts. The up side, just minutes from my home. read more

This was our regular place for Chinese to go. Since new management prices have gone up and quality has really gone down. Probably won't be back. read more

It seems that it's hard to find great Chinese food anywhere anymore. They just don't make it like they used to... My family stumbled upon this hole in the wall (or corner suite in a shopping strip) a couple of years ago... We have tried tons of places around Cedar Park, but we always seem to come back here. It's not the best Chinese we've ever had, but it's good, hot, and fast. We've had sesame chicken, orange chicken, chicken lo mein, beef and broccoli (we are not a fan of this), egg rolls (not a fan), spring rolls (not a fan of the sauce that comes with these), and steamed dumplings. Sometimes the food is better than other times, but it's always been yummy. read more

I have never had a bad meal at Hunan Chef! Nothing but great experiences! My favorites here: --Kung Pao Chicken: just the right amount of spiciness, and if you want it spicier, they will totally do it! --Broccoli Beef: you can taste the ginger and garlic! Delish! --Cashew Chicken: crunchy water chestnuts and cashew halves make this one a a winner every time. --Sesame Shrimp: I tried this one on Monday as a lunch special and loved it! Battered shrimp smothered in sesame sauce with a side of steamed broccoli. --Szechuan Chicken: my mom's favorite! It's the pefect blend of veggies and spices! Helpful Tips: --You can ask for any dish spicy and Hunan Chef will accommodate! --Weekday lunch specials include a lunch-sized portion of a hot dish, steamed or fried rice, an egg roll, and a fried chicken wing! --No soggy egg rolls here! The egg roll skin is thin and flaky and the veggies inside are still firm. Egg roll perfection! --The service is great! Laney the owner and Angel the waiter always hustle to get us our food hot and fresh! I love this little Mom and Pop place, where the owner and server take their time to get to know their customers. --It's easy to get take-out from here. My mom picked up a couple orders for us and drove them home 10 miles away in Jonestown, and our orders were still fresh and hot! --Menu is reasonably priced! I live in Los Angeles and I am pretty spoiled with good Chinese food, but Hunan Chef ranks up there with any of my favorite LA spots. My family has been coming here for years, and we will continue to do so! Amazing food and impeccable service make it easy to support this little local spot. read more

I ordered the sesame chicken and it was without a doubt the worst I've ever had. It was over cooked and I couldn't take a bite without feeling like I was going to crack one of my teeth trying to chew through it. It was so hard and dry I cut into it and it didn't look like chicken was inside, just fried up BS makes me sick to think what it actually was. If I could rate lower than a 1 star I would. Ordered two orders and spent over $30 just for it all to be thrown away. read more

I had to drive to Cedar Park to run an errand over lunch and decided to eat there before I headed back to work. This was my first visit to Hunan Chef. I came to this shopping center to get Pho, but Hunan Chef smelled good so I went there instead. When I walked in, the restaurant had a table of six Cedar Park police officers eating so I took this as a good sign. I waited about 3 minutes before being told to sit wherever I wanted. I chose the sesame chicken with hot and sour soup and fried rice. I ordered water with lemon since they didn't have sweet tea and they only had canned sodas. The hot and sour soup was very tasty and seemed to be a larger portion than I am used to. My entree arrived before I could finish my soup. The sesame chicken was hot, but the sauce was of a thicker, stickier consistency than I prefer. The fried rice was lacking in flavor and some of it was clumpy. Adding soy sauce to the fried rice didn't help the flavor much. The egg roll was crispy and flavorful. The chicken wing was bland. I took a bite and put it back on the plate. In summary, the taste of the food was disappointing. For the $7.53, it was not a bad deal, but I'd rather pay a dollar or two more for better tasting food. Next time I'll go ahead and drive back to my usual Asian restaurant, Twin Panda at 620 and Parmer across the highway from work. read more

Hunan Chef - Sesame Chicken lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I've been a customer at this place for 10 plus years, but something has happened. All of sudden, everything tastes different. The crab rangoon is now sweet with different texture, same with the eggrolls? They used to fat and full of flavor, now they're skinny and mushy inside and don't get me started on the soup! It used to be AMAZING, now it just smells awful. I'm so sad this place has changed. It used to be my favorite, now I won't go back. read more

LOVE this place! Food is delish and always made fresh! I have never once had a bad experience. I wish they delivered a little farther though because it is so yummy! My favorite is the chicken lo mien. YUM read more

tried this restaurant for the first time tonight and they're dining room was closed due to the AC being out, i hadn't planned to dine in and who i'm assuming is the owner apologized many times for the heat and explained it would fixed soon and was all around very sweet and friendly about everything and when i got home the food was amazing they had everything perfect and fresh, the food was great and they put plenty of sauces with everything great store read more

I am sorry to report this was the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I ordered a dish with shrimp in it....the sauce was disgusting and the shrimp were little rubber balls. I ate a small bowl of it then three the rest away. Do not ordered. Here. I was looking for Hunan Ranch and ordered from here by mistake. read more

Do not order the Mongolian beef from this place 60% of the food is onion. I don't know about y'all but if I order food and the majority of it is onion. I feel ripped off. Total disappointment. I will never eat here again. No stars read more

Hunan Chef - Chinese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Hunan Chef is my favorite Chinese in Cedar Park. They're clean, the food is always great and they are very friendly.

This place used to be halfway decent but now the last two times I have ordered from Hunan chef was a complete disaster I ordered the first time chicken and broccoli with egg rolls and crab Rangoon the chicken was breaded heavy really overcooked The chicken was so hard it was not available so dried out burnt the egg rolls were burnt the crab Rangoon I don't know what was in there but it was completely disgusting do not waste your money here trust me you will be very disappointed Posted by J Moore The burnt chicken and burnt egg rolls were the second time I ordered which was General tsos chicken The chicken and broccoli was at least edible but it had a really funny taste and the broccoli was really under cooked I like broccoli a little undercooked but this was almost raw and chicken was also way over cooked and dried out read more

First time ordering and the pork with vegetables was nasty all canned vegetables except 2 pea shoots and 4 mushrooms so it tasted like canned food :( Update spoke to owner Leni she refused to credit back to bad food cost. Do not order from here. read more

Quintessential Chine take-out. Just what you are craving. No pomp and circumstance. The eggs rolls were very good, General Tso was mild as ordered and the combination fried rice was excellent. read more

We came here because I recommended this place to my whole family. We hadn't came here in 12 years and we're returning customers. My family and I weren't treated with the slightest attention. The customer service from the female co-owner of this restaurant is extremely rude and has no type of respect for returning customers. The tip that this restaurant charges is very high for the poor quality of food they serve. 12 years ago these people were completely different and so was the service. We are extremely disappointed and wish for future customers to be warned. read more

I don't really understand the low reviews. They've been in the same spot for 15 years and tonight I decided to ignore the yelp 3.5 stars. I'm glad I did. This is authentic. It's real. If you're a foo foo PF Changs lover you probably won't like real Hunan food. The service was spot on (excellent). The iced tea was fresh. Food was served fast even during the dinner rush. The sweet and sour pork, crab rangoons, kung pao shrimp, and orange chicken -all cooked to perfection (as in authentic). Why I waited so long to visit here is beyond me. It's definitely my new go to in Cedar Park. read more

Saturday I watched "Thirty Days of Night". Yup, it was a gorgeous sunny day outside and I spent two hours of it watching a bloody vampire movie that takes place in the snowy hinterlands of Alaska. Did that influence me to order the Garlic Pork for dinner? Subliminally, maybe. It definitely woulda kept me safe in the Dracula infested wilds. It was actually quite tasty and a little spicy and chock full of crunchy water chestnuts. The rest of the dinner combo (eggroll and hot and sour soup) was meh. The best part is they deliver to my house ($15 minumum order)! And being in the vast hinterlands of Cedar Park, that is a rarity indeed! Bring it on, bloodsucka!! read more

Most people would probably prefer Hunan Chef to Panda Express, but if given the choice, I'd choose the Panda. Yes, I said it: I'd choose the Panda. The chicken corn soup grossed me out; I'm used to Chinese soups being thick, but this was mucus material. The garlic broccoli with tofu was sickly sweet, and the sauce was super thick - like, they used a cup of concentrated hoisin sauce. And they charged me $2 to replace the chicken with tofu. Really really? Service was interesting; they were definitely much friendlier towards the regulars who dined there. We were treated like outcasts from another 'burb (hello, Avery Ranch). No worries, I will not cross to this side of Cedar Park to ever eat at Hunan Chef again. read more

I have been coming here since 2014 (it is 3019 right now). And the food is still as fresh as always. My Chicken Szechuan was great, fresh vegetables, fresh chicken, and the rice was delicious too. Oh yeah, there was an egg roll or 2, and man they are delicious. My partner has Sweet and Sour Pork. He's picky with sweet and sour sauce, but again, it was fresh and not prepared ahead of time. Even the duck sauce and Chinese mustard was fresh. And staff hasn't really changed, stability is the key. And they are the best in Cedar Park! read more

My wife and I recently had occasion to visit the Hunan Chef in Cedar Park. We were surprised and encouraged to find the place full when we arrived. For an ethnic food place to be full in Cedar Park, it must be pretty good, right? The menu must have been mislabed, because I assure you I did not order the Chewy Chicken with Refrigerated Broccoli, but that's what arrived. My wife's food was slightly warmer that mine, but much like a piece of leather... the kind you might find thrown to the corner of a garage. In case you haven't already guessed, we did not have a good experience. I would not recommend it. Save your money for Panda Express. read more

As a former NYer, I take my Chinese food seriously. While I have yet to find a Chinese place on par with NYC standards, this place isn't half bad. And the best part? They deliver -- a rarity in this neck of the woods (outside of pizza). Pretty extensive menu, decent prices and solid Chinese. The chicken with broccoli is good, as is the garlic beef but the lemon chicken is served with a lumpy sauce, so I wouldn't recommend that one. Just a warning--the delivery times can get a little long, so don't call when your ravenous. read more

I used to order takeout from here frequently because I live close by and they are fast to prep the food but when I decided to pick up food for Doordash delivery, the clerk would have me place in the order, but I know real well that they can see the order on their end and majority of the time other places would just have dashers verify the orders. I recommend trying out Shichuan Bistro or Xian Noodles. read more

Hunan Chef in Cedar Park is great Chinese food! We ordered the combo fried rice and Tsos chicken and everything was hot and tasty. Fast and friendly service and I can't wait to try more from them! read more

I haven't been to this restaurant since I found a roach in the small container of spicy mustard included with my egg rolls several months ago. I learned that new management had taken over, so today (1st March 2023) I ordered Kung Pao chicken for takeout. This version included rice and a vegetable egg roll. When I got home and opened the container the 1st thing I saw was the egg roll. It was blackened and sitting in a puddle of something. It might have been reheated in a wok--I have no idea why it was burned, but it was extremely soggy and not edible. Neither was the Kung Pao chicken. The chicken was in much larger pieces than I have seen before and actually tasted fishy and had the texture of imitation crab. On the positive side, the restaurant got a much needed face lift with new flooring and paint. I actually looked at the Yelp reviews before I ordered; shame on me for not heeding them. read more

"If only A-OK Chinese had been as A-OK as Hunan Chef" It's funny that the 3 star rating on Yelp! is designated A-OK, and there's a local joint called A-OK Chinese that just went out of business. But, I digress. I ordered deliver from Hunan Chef the other night after an exhausting day, where preparing dinner was just not happening. I did a Yelp search for Chinese, found Hunan Chef, and ordered FOR DELIVERY. They told me 45 minutes and were there in 20. The Food was very much the same as I've experienced at similar americanized chinese food places. My wife stole my Lo Mein, so it must have been good, and the fried rice was pretty good. All in all, I'd have to say that I find myself much happier with this place than when I started writing. So A-OK 3 stars is getting bumped to 4. read more

Honestly they don't deserve any stars! My whole order looked liked something foreign; not worth eating at all. The egg drop soup broth was really thin and had no flavor, the fried chicken wings were burnt and had no seasoning at all; just bland, and the shrimp egg foo young did not resemble anything close to an egg omelette patty with shrimp and veggies. I got four greasy patties crispy and burnt with flavorless shrimp. Mind you they were made to order, obviously the cook don't know what he/she is cooking. Due to the fact that I waited so long for my order, the guy at the counter said they'll add in some pork egg rolls as well, he assured me they would be worth the wait. They were a disaster! I took one bite and immediately spit it out. It tasted like flour mixed with something that had no resemblance to any pork. If this is what they are serving the public as food, they need to shut down! I truly know what Chinese food is suppose to look and taste like being that I hail from New York, and I've been eating true authentic Chinese food all my life; this is not it! Save your money and go elsewhere if you want food you can eat and enjoy! read more

I love Hunan Chef, it has quickly become my local go-to Chinese style restaurant of choice. The food is so delicious it might just be my happy place! Honey chicken, sesame chicken, happy family, General Tso's, chicken and broccoli, sweet and sour pork, egg drop soup...I've ordered them all over the past 6 months and loved every bite. The house-made sweet and sour sauce and crab ragoons are my weakness! Lay me down and load me up with a double order and I'll eat em up like a happy little otter! My first visit I dined in house with my husband at the 620 location (now closed ) and was served by the owner herself. She's super sweet and takes such pride in her work. She even chatted to us about how all the recipes were created by and handed down from her mother. My next few orders were all late after long days at work, so I ordered takeout and nommed my way through my edible treasures on my couch (happy otter time!). Nothing like your favorite comfort foods from a locally owned and operated gem like this to make your day! I'm excited to try their bubble tea next. read more

bad experience. My wife called them about 3:PM to have dinner delivered as close to 5:PM as possible (My dinner hour from work). The lady took the order along with our credit card # and we thought all was well. I arrived home a little after five and wasn't concerned that our food had not yet arrived. I called them about 5:25 and inquired about our order and the person on the phone said "It is still cooking". I said that I would not have time to eat it now and the rude jerk hung up. Of course, my card has been debited so now I will probably have to issue a stop payment. I would be very cautious in dealing with these people. read more

I've eaten here a few times before. Once, I dined in and two other times I have picked food up to go. Most recently, I went to dine in at the restaurant and had a coupon from the entertainment book. They now have an app on your phone and you can use many coupons from your phone. So, I took the phone in with me and just as we were ordering, I asked our waitress about it. She said she had not used one on the phone before, so she got the owner to give her instructions. The owner told me that they don't take them on the phone, that you have to print them out. She was adamant that she could not take it from the phone because she did not have anything to scan it. I clicked on the online item and there was nothing to scan. There was only a number listed. The waitress even asked her if she could just write the number down but she was insistent that no, she has told entertainment no already. I said that I could go home and print it and she said ok. We stepped outside and decided to just go eat next store. The food here (in the past) has always been okay. The crab rangoons were just okay. The hot and sour soup was pretty good. I don't remember anything else that we have ordered. So really, 3 stars for food and 1 star for service gave me the 2 stars. read more

We have been going to this place, or getting take out, about once a month for years and it has been our favorite Chinese food. However, the last few times we have gotten their food, both togo, it has not been good. In today's order, my wonton soup was so salty, I couldn't eat it. And I like salty food. My wife's egg drop soup was almost as thick as jello. We ordered our combination fried rice extra spicy and it was as bland as can be. The beef with broccoli was bland as well. The mustard was watered down and not very spicy. The egg rolls were super oily and didn't have much flavor at all. We are very sad that our favorite place for Chinese food has fallen so hard. Guess we will have to find another place because we don't plan to ever eat here again. read more

Definitely a fan of Hunan Chef. I had the Kung Pao chicken. It was aromatic, a bit sweet, full of chicken, and a large portion. The dish was well cooked, there was plenty of delicious sauce and I just loved it. There was lots of hot mustard that I used to perk up the heat level, and that just intensified the goodness. The service was pleasant and I always knew my needs would be met or where to find my server - it's a small place and the server was always out front. Hunan Chef is a cut above. It's not amazing, and nothing you haven't seen before (see Asia Cafe for the next level of Chinese), but Hunan Chef does it better than your standard Chinese shack. read more

Hunan has been a family favorite since 2004! The service is fast and the food is DELISH! If you find yourself up north and craving Asian Cuisine, Hunan Chef is the place! You wouldn't know it by the outside (hole in the wall type place) but honestly, a lot of the time, THOSE are the best! You won't be disappointed. read more
