We had lunch at Hunan yesterday, a Saturday. The food was strictly buffet. They had not been open long, however the food on the steam table that we selected was not hot or fresh. There were fewer options than other Chinese buffets. The salad bar looked decent, but we didn't eat salad. We feared the food had been at room temperature too long and decided to leave without finishing. We brought our concern to our server who referred us to who we assumed was the manager. She started to argue about it and charged us full buffet price for food we couldn't safely eat. Our server was good, so we left her a tip and without considering her good service, this rating would be a 1. read more

My favorite fried rice. Everything was fresh and wonderful. I highly recommend this place. I just wish I didn't judge this book by its cover. We've lived here over 8yrs and this was my first time. At least now I know. read more

This time ordered off menu, rather then go through buffet. Huge serving of king pao chicken with white rice read more

Hunan Chinese Restaurant - King Kung Pao Chicken with rice - Chinese Near Me - Foley, Alabama

We are visiting the area and kept looking for a Chinese restaurant that was clean and looked appetizing from the outside as much as the inside. We found this place on yelp and of course we had to pull the crawdads and steamed shrimp are absolute delicious. I really liked their Deviled crab in the shells and I also love their egg foo young. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

See all

Food was not that good . First and last time to eat there. The favor I had at other places in the area are way better tasting.

This is an alright Chinese joint that offers a buffet and they also have a menu you can order from. The have the expected Chinese restaurant vibe to give it the proper ambiance. The service here is about as good as you get at a buffet and they do keep your drink filled. I think there are better Chinese buffets in the area after having eaten at several of them over the years. I've never ordered off the menu though. My pal The Major thinks this is the best Chinese buffet in the area but then he can't remember the other ones we ate at decades ago when he first moved to the area so we will take his opinion with a grain of salt as he is noted for getting VERY set in his ways and not trying many new spots. So overall this is a decent spot but to me at least it just isn't the most tasty Chinese cuisine. Most of the Chinese food in Foley is not the most tasty Chinese cuisine but this spot while not being the worst is certainly not the better of the options to my taste buds. read more

My favorite Chinese buffet in the area!!! Not a bad place to sit down if you're chasing Lugias either ;) Gary is the man!!! read more

First time trying the Hunan Chinese restaurant in Foley. Went in for the Sunday lunch buffet for $10.99. The place was very crowded so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, there just were not many options available on the hot buffet. Other than several fried options, they only had a soupy version of sesame chicken, a few soups, and they finally brought out some pepper steak. Salad bar looked nice, but I didn't try it. Crab rangoons were pretty much just cream cheese and no crab and tasteless. Was hoping this would be our new Chinese buffet go to, but this was a one and done for us. The staff was really nice, but the food was just not worth it. read more

Nice people, nice place, terrible food. The hot and sour about made me puke, seriously. Maybe something was wrong with it. We ordered Chicken fried rice and vegetable Lo Main and they were both extremely bland. There were only cabbage and broccoli in the vegetable Lo Main, besides the purchased pre-chopped carrots that come in lettuce. I put loads of soy sauce on to give it flavor, but just couldn't eat it. Also, I asked for sweet and sour sauce and they said okay and put it in the bag, but when I got home I saw it was plastic packets of duck sauce. It didn't substitute well if this was the purpose. The place is clean and the people were very kind. read more

Went there with a friend for lunch. Food and services were great, top notch ! Candy our server and Gary the chef greeted us. They were so nice. Our drinks was always topped off full and they took great care of us. As a bonus I was able to also purchase Pokemon cards here ! you heard it right! pokemon!!!! 5 stars all around! I love those love seats! Me and my Gay friend at the time love it also! read more

Food was kept warmed a very long time. Not a great selection. Nothing fresh but the iceberg lettuce. Sad decor. Minimal service. I would advise a complete overhaul of the restaurant & menu. read more

Bless my tummy! My family and I really like this restaurant. It may seem small when you walk in but it is perfect. The buffet is two lines. The food selection is just right. It is fresh and tasty. The dining area is clean and there is a back room that can accommodate a party of 25. The service is friendly and professional. Our drinks were refreshed frequently and the table was cleared of used dishes. The ice cream machine has been updated. The facilities were clean. The cost is most reasonable. I do recommend this resturant and I will remember to take pictures next time. read more

The only place in Foley or Gulf Shores to get Chinese food.... Owners are super nice too! read more

Friendly staff, really fresh Buffet food with a good variety of choices. I lived in China for 10 years and there is really no authentic Chinese here in America except for large city, China towns. But, this is good American-Chinese fare. Boiled shrimp us as good as I've had at the shrimp basket, and the boiled crawfish was as good as I've had anywhere in Foley. I do wish they would put something benign on the television. Upsets my stomach to listen to endless hate talk coming from fox cable throughout the meal. We will be back!! 好食物 read more

Excellent food & very nice people. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is they don't have chicken wings & ribs. Our go to Chinese food.

Sever was great, she took great care of us. It was a buffet which I normally never do. The buffet was very limited with stir fry dishes. The food was barely warm. I don't recommend this place. Every tv was tuned to Fox News which I understand a lot of people like fox news but I don't need tv while eating. read more

Buffet was half empty and not very clean. Only good review I can leave is that the dumplings were good but fried.

Since I have food allergies I have to watch I eat and what is cooked into my food. Eating here has been a joy. I have fresh steamed rice and the best egg drop soup, so good. I enjoy a great green salad with lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, and other raw vegetables, I use lemons and oranges to squeeze the juice over my salad, and my boiled shrimp, so good and yummy. Desert is small bowl of peaches and/or orange wedges, did I mention that the orange wedgies are California Navel Oranges. They are the best orange ever and slightly chilled. I was so surprised. When I tasted these oranges my comment to my husband was, I swear they taste like California Navel Oranges. When we asked it was confirmed that they were. Being from California this was a delight to enjoy. We also enjoyed watching Fox TV here while we ate, very relaxed atmosphere here and everyone is so friendly. read more

Good food but they do not keep buffet filled with food. Interior could use a update but am not sure that I will visit again due to sparse amount of food items stocked. Server was adequate. read more

Very reasonable price for the buffet, includes shrimp, 2-3 soups, and lotsss of favorites. Closed on Mondays. Extremely friendly wait staff. Needs a good cleaning and update but don't look around. Just eat the wonderful food! read more

Good food, friendly owners. Get there early, there is always a rush around 11-12. Thanks Hunan

Really good American Chinese Buffet or order from menu. Very reasonable prices. Consistently good. Sandy took excellent care of our group of 17. read more

Food was good just like any Buffet somethings are good somethings are not so good depending on your taste. Would go back again good value for the money. read more

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for years! The owners remember who you are and are so very personable. The food is some of the best in the area! read more

Super friendly and amazing food loving coming here would definitely recommend to anyone

The staff was nice but the buffet food was meh. The taste of the wonton soup was bizarre. It and the lo mein had a chemical taste.

For a cheap buffet the food was quite good. Staff was nice. Felt a little packed in space wise. Other than that it was a decent meal. Although i would not recommend the spring rolls. They have an odd taste to the tongue. read more

Inside is a little dated. We have had the buffet here a few times- always good. But tonight we tried the menu. OMG some of the best, freshest Chinese dinners in a long time. Hot snd sour soup was hot!! Hunan beef had a nice little bite,but more beef than I have ever gotten. Broccoli was crisp and perfect! Wife's bed lo me in was also fresh with firm not mushy noodles And tasty scallions. Yea was abundant. Bill was around 30 bucks -- took lunch home. read more

My family and I ate here for dinner during a visit from San Antonio, TX. The staff was friendly and the price for the buffet was excellent. The variety at the buffet was good and the food was good overall. The only thing I didn't really care for was the soft-serve ice cream. read more

I always enjoy the buffet dishes. Always tasty and the appearance is good and good service while dining. I'm glad you're still in business after so many years preparing delicious meals for customers. Thank you! read more

A friend told the place had been "redone,"so we decided to have lunch-around two. It looks good but the hot food was tepid to cold, the service was poor, and the atmosphere humble. It was the worst cheap meal and not worth a visit. read more

My family has been eating here for a couple of years now, and we always enjoy our meal. The buffet is small but has all of your favorites. We love the hot and sour soup, crab ragoon, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, fried dumplings, sesame chicken, coconut shrimp, and pepper steak with veggies...basically all of it! The dessert buffet also has a nice selection. Not huge but everything there is delicious. It's a local favorite and always packed for lunch. The people who run it are very friendly and will always make you feel welcome. I've always found it clean (it's not new but it IS clean) and comfortable. Highly recommend this place, and you cannot beat it for the price. read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant in Foley, Alabama PERIOD. While it might not be aesthetically pleasing, Hunans has the three things I'm looking for in a good Chinese restaurant (buffet): 1) It has tasty AND hot food 2) It is clean (which has a very different meaning than updated/modern, though they did recently install new flat screen televisions in the restaurant) 3) It's staff is friendly, welcoming, and enthusiastic about their jobs. The Staff: The owner is a sociable and honest woman who seems to personally know every customer that comes into the establishment. I've seen her sons work the cash register, load the dishes, refill food, etc. since they were just teenagers. It's unbelievable; this family's work ethic is unparalleled. Over the years there have been waitresses come and go, but my favorite waitress is still there to this day! If you ever get the opportunity to go to this restaurant, you should ask for Emelie. This woman is the definition of sweet. She is so friendly and warm; there is no way you won't feel comfortable and welcomed in this restaurant. To add to her great personality, she is also very attentive. I don't think I've ever had old plates sit on my table for more than 2 or 3 minutes and she always refills my drink without me asking. The Food: Hunans has all the essentials when it comes to Chinese buffets: -Sweet and sour chicken -Peppered Steak -Teriyaki chicken -Fried Rice -Peppered Shrimp -Soup (egg dorp/sweet and sour/ and dumpling) -Crab Ragoon -Egg foo-young -And so much more When it comes to quality, no other restaurant in Baldwin county even compares. The chef (who never takes a day off) is a culinary artist. His food is absolutely perfect every time. It's so consistently delicious! I understand that many people on Yelp aren't impressed with the selection of food at this restaurant, but what more do you want/ expect for the price?! I mean $5, for a buffet!? Where else are you going to find that price? Absolutely nowhere. A meal at McDonalds is more than that now-a-days. All in all, I really recommend Hunans to anyone interested in visiting a nice Chinese restaurant. You won't be disappointed in the food and you definitely won't be disappointed with the service/staff. Reach out to them, I'm sure they'd appreciate a good conversation and compliment. read more

In all fairness we didn't eat there but we tried. It smelled so foul when I opened the door the we struggled through the entry way into the dining area and it still smelled pretty bad so we just told them we'll come back for lunch and got out of there as quickly as we could. read more

Um. Wow. I hate rating buffets. I never know what's a fair rating. Now, how do you rate a buffet that costs the same as a McDonald's meal? Umm.. You have your typical various cheap proteins in various salty sauces at any Chinese buffet. Unlike neighbor Peng Garden, Hunan features stuffed crab, crawfish, and cocktail shrimp. This selection is pretty good for the meager price. I don't understand Foley, Alabama. Does this area really insist on only dirt cheap Chinese buffets? It's frankly not possible to run a good buffet for such a low price. This place gets a second star for being better than Peng Garden. The food at Hunan even tastes good initially, but remember, a minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. read more

I was here three years ago and it was excellent food. Came today and was quite disappointed. I'm not sure what happened but the quality And flavor of the food has definitely gone downhill. We didn't finish our food. The staff was very friendly and the place was clean but I suggest they find a new chef. read more

I was unimpressed- not much of a selection and food was cold! The egg rolls were old and hard as a rock - will not be returning

I always had a very enjoyable experience at hunan's. Looking at the archicture of their building is quite historic for the old town of Foley Alabama. Excellent and quick service always, and this place is not expensive at all. Once I thought I brought money with me, and I had forgotten my money. The nice cashier allowed me to pay later without worry. I paid her back. Their imagery of their chinese history was so perfect, and to talk about the beautiful art that is on their walls, is so rich in Chinese history. It makes you wonder why this company has not expanded. It is more than words to say that their hard work and determination to please the general public has made me write this review today. There's a lot of church organizations around, and I think they should invest their quality time into this business. They never failed on providing good service and tasty nice wonderful food. They always satisfied my belly and those nice little cakes and fresh fruit were just the addition that I needed to suffice a well balanced meal. Awesome and amazing this Restaurant is, and I shall never forget it. read more

Wow very good everything fresh and good. Hole in the wall places are always the best

Food was oddly chemical tasting, I got sick. Needs a huge update to the building and inside, very old and unclean feeling "nuf said.
