EEEHHHHHHHHHHHH... Ok, this place is pretty good. I think it would be really good if there weren't a few other options nearby for more fantastic chinese food. The generals chicken and meat skewers are great. it's a really cute little spot but like i said it's just OK compared to a few other local spots. read more

The only place I can seem to count on to make absolutely amazing gluten free Chinese food! I travel quite a bit to come here, but its always worth it and my food stays piping hot until I get home. My favorites are of course either Sesame Chicken or General Tso's. read more

Really solid Chinese takeout - they delivered quickly and the food was very good. I recommend trying them out!

Food was really good. Fast free delivery. Def recommend. Pepper steak on point. Order online is easy.

Excellent food and service! Extensive Gluten Free menu that is awesome! You can't tell it's Gluten free. Absolutely awesome.

Good clean neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Separate vegetarian menu. Mostly locals, Americanized fair. Very nice staff. Will go back. Just went back after the new ownership, They still have great service and food. read more

Fast delivery, real fried rice, chicken nice and soft, sauces (garlic sauce, sweet and sour sauce) taste good, chicken wings have good flavor and nice and crispy, fries could be a little more cooked otherwise recommend for good service. Also give can of soda or I think soup maybe egg roll with each combination. Thumbs up read more

Decent Chinese for the area. Feel some of their menu items are oddly overpriced, and others a good value.

Low quality food. I never thought you could mess up General Tso's chicken, but alas these folks can. I've had better dumplings from the grocery store. Not sure how places like this get repeat business. Even if you're craving Chinese food bad, this place is simply worse than no Chinese food at all. read more

Excellent for local place food fresh good service I give it a solid seven best for sure in plainview

We have gotten take out several times the past few months. The food is fresh and not greasy or salty. My daughter has Celiac and we appreciate the dedicated GF menu. The owner is very nice. Good fresh food, varied menu an overall great exp! read more

Raw chicken in my moo goo gai pan. When I called to tell them they said I was wrong. Brought a new one, raw again!

Quick and fast service. Placed order through y Yelp app and had order ready in 10 minutes. Restaurant called me to verify order and food was good and was good size portions. read more

The service is excellent and the food is delicious! We are new to Long Island from California. On top of that, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease so for medical reasons can no longer consume gluten. I hadn't even attempted to look for a new Chinese Restaurant since moving here because the last few times I tried with other other local restaurants, I was met with confusion when I mentioned gluten free, and when that happens you know it's a risk to eat there. I was so happy and appreciative when I called and the man that I spoke with was kind, informative, and patient in answering my questions. I was so excited! I hadn't had Chinese food in ages. The food itself did not disappoint. We ordered sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, and pork fried rice. It was all delicious! They even gave us a gluten free menu to take home for next time. I couldn't believe how helpful they were to me. I would recommend this place to anyone! Thank you for the delicious food and excellent service! We'll be back again soon! read more

A step above your average Chinese take out spot. There's a 'Chef's Specialties' section of the menu that actually makes this place feel like a restaurant with a real chef, rather than a dude that fries things and/or tosses them in a wok all day. Many of these specialties are $12 or less. Interior is straight out of the 70's, Boogie Nights style, so if you need some atmosphere with your lo mein, go elsewhere. Kudos to Dan for the hot oil tip, it def adds much needed heat to the dishes, even when marked 'spicy'. read more

Very spotty depending on the dish. The Peking duck is very good and many restaurants don't offer it. Make sure to ask them to roll it and ask for an extra sauce. Egg rolls are standard fare at best. The egg foo young is fair bc the sauce is bland and thin. Their special soups are good. It's convenient as a take out. Ask for the 'good' mustard or you will end up with the packets. read more

Excellent "normal" east coast Chinese food (unlike "weird" western, Utah Chinese food!) which was a pleasure to dine on! My celiac companion was very pleased with the many gluten free offerings and enjoyed her food. Service was great. This place is a long time family staple of a friend of mine who lives in the area. read more

Everyone at work knows to order from this place! The food is always fresh and delicious. I can only think of ONE time in over a year that the food wasn't good. That's gotta be like a 99.9999% success rate :) read more

This place is great! I especially like their Vegetarian menu, nice option for carnivores and veggies to dine together! Looks like a typical chinese place in a strip mall, definitely check it out. You wont be disapointed! Service is good to. read more

It is very clear this restaurant is under new ownership. The dishes are very different and the workers are all new plus the photos and the pictures of the family have all been removed including the old Newsday review. I would say this is very run of mill food. Ordinary in every way and not memorable. read more

Amazing gluten free Chinese food!! So many options and the food is really good. The portions are good sized. There are no gluten free Chinese restaurant. This place hits the spot just right! The service is always good and the servers are very knowledgeable about gluten free. read more

Did I just use a time machine? I'm in a Chinese restaurant in 1985. Rude guy behind the counter didn't say one word as I placed my take out order. Just grunted. I have no idea how long my order will take. Started with next customer before I'd completed my transaction. The food was AWFUL. This will be the first & last time I ever go to this place. Feels like a lot of MSG too. The only thing that was decent was the chicken/corn soup. read more

Ever since Green Melody closed in Jericho, I've been looking for a place on Long Island to replace it. Hunan Cottage is not it, but it does have a pretty extensive vegetarian menu with numerous mock meat options. It satisfies the craving and it certainly tastes good, it's just not on the same level as Green Melody was. The owner has been very pleasant in our experience but some of the waiters have a very poor grasp on English and they look at you with that "I don't really understand what you're saying" look. For example, we asked for the vegetarian menu last time we were there and when our food arrived, we received the meat versions. Why would we be asking for the meat versions after asking for the vegetarian menu? I also asked for white rice, but received brown rice (a mistake that happens quite frequently when I eat in at Chinese places for some reason). My girlfriend and I haven't been back in about 9 months, but this place isn't exactly local and I'm not convinced it's worth telling anyone to make a special trip out to just for their vegetarian options. I'd recommend VP2 in Greenwich Village over this, but if you're a Veg in the neighborhood, there's no reason not to stop in, just make sure you specify you want the vegetarian version of whatever you order. read more

Did not impress! In my opinion food was bland and serving size was average. Many better chinese takeout restaurants in the area.

First time taking out and the food is sub par. Chicken and broccoli had a slimy taste and fried rice had no flavor. We will not be bak anytime soon! read more

I love how gluten friendly they are it allows me to finally enjoy Chinese food again. I'm out of the delivery zone but I still go to pick up take out about once a week read more

I usually take food out or have it delivered from Hunan Cottage. In that regard, this is a very solid restaurant. Everything I order is delicious. Their portions are ample and the quality of their cooking is better than anything in the Plainview area. They deliver in a reasonable amount of time, as well. read more

This used to be the best Chinese Food in the Plainview area, but with a change in management comes a very big change in the quality of food. What a shame as it was the only Chinese Restaurant one could sit down and enjoy a meal. Now, you can still sit down, but the enjoyment is long gone. Sesame Chicken was dry and flavorless, low mein, again no flavor, hot and sour soup very disappointing. I could go on, but really no point as everything was just bland and low quality read more

Never again we ordered for delivery the food cam W/ little surprise inside the food The place use to b great no more They changed owners & the food & restaurant Service goes to the tube read more

Great service and delicious food! My husband and I come about once a month and it's always consistently great. He has Celiac Disease and this place is very accommodating. read more

This place was downright awful. I was going to give them 1 star, which I've never done, but I'll give them 2 because the ribs were good, and they get a star for having a gluten free menu. That said, the food was consistently bad. I don't really enjoy writing bad reviews, but the food and the waitress' attitude compel me to do so. Will never go back again. read more

Going here for 15 years never disappointed I encourage you to eat in for a inexpensive and pleasant date nite out they offer real oldschool french service at dinner prices . not the cafeteria style you find at most chinese these days. not a perfect first date spot but definitely dinner and a chat after the movie worthy . a real sit down restaurant. read more

Amazing GF menu!! Celiac friendly! Wish I lived closer than 8 hours! We will be back though!

As a vegan with limited dining options on Long Island, I was very pleased with Hunan Cottage. My daughter and I split orders of General Tso's "chicken" and Sesame "chicken" and we were both very pleased with the food. We also enjoyed our flaming cocktail in big tub thing with decorative male hula dancers on the side - you can't get that just anywhere :-) We ate there for Christmas dinner and it was crowded but they had enough wait staff so we never felt like we were waiting too long or being ignored. I will definitely go back! read more

Came here for Christmas dinner with my family because 1) its Jewish tradition and 2) Im gluten free and the restaurant said they can make almost anything on their menu gluten free. The restaurant was very crowded and they had too few staff working on the holiday, so the service was very slow. But, I have to say my gluten free dish was the best dish on the table that night. At first I thought they must have made a mistake because there was coating on my pineapple chicken (like with sesame chicken), but they assured me that it was GF. My family tried it first and said, "no way, its too good so it must not be gluten free." The manager saw my hesitation and came to tell me, with pride, exactly how its made... gluten free soy sauce and a cornstarch coating. SO, if you are GF and want chinese, this is the place to go! read more

One of the busiest nights of the year (that everyone knows about annually) and no one working in this restaurant has even the faintest clue how to operate a business. I've never seen so many dismissive, scatter-brained employees running around like chickens with their heads cut off in my life. Advised 35 minutes wait on a pick-up order, and then upon arrival waited at least 30 minutes more, without even an apology, a thanks for patronizing them, a bowl of noodles to tide us over... Nothing. Steer clear, folks. This place doesn't deserve your business. read more

No start for this place!!!! found hair inside of food we order 13plates but they forgot soda and little sauce. Even its lunch order still its really small amount of food! rice is more than actual food. When I called place they are not even saying SORRY and keep cant say anything. WTF! read more

I ordered food from this place and I was so disappointed. Vegan meat was so hard to bite on that I had to throw everything away. Also, the brown rice on side had some pungent odor. read more

Live in Hicksville and was looking for GOOD chinese food. Excellent pork fried rice and shrimp/eggplant with garlic sauce. I ordered take out on Saturday, ready in 25 minutes even though place was packed. We are very happy to finally find a great, cheap restaurant will definetly eat here again! read more

I ordered from Hunan Cottage every week. I especially loveeeee their hot and sour soup!Too bad the owner sold their business after 20 years!!! This new owner started last week, I am not sure if they fired the old chef, the food tasted a little different, maybe it was just the day. I will give it one more try and see. read more
