Bland and deceiving. We ordered 2 beef egg rolls, pad Thai and General Tso chicken. These are standard dishes that are being offered at any Chinese restaurant (ok, maybe not pad Thai). The egg rolls were packed with cabbage. After a couple of bites we decided to break open the rolls and I kid you not, all we saw was cabbage no ground beef whatsoever. The pad Thai was bland and so was the General Tso chicken. I was hoping to pack any leftovers for work lunch but they went into the trash instead. Needless to say we were super disappointed with the dinner and a waste of our money. Hunan Diamond, did you change your chef? I don't think this person believes in flavoring their food. read more

The food was pretty bland and mediocre overall. Most of the stir fry dishes were drenched in sauce, making them more like a soup than a true stir fry. read more

This review is for LUNCH COMBO deal only! Ordered delivery for honey Sesame chicken and General Tso's and both tasted great. Preferred the general tso's slightly more - it was little more savory than sweet though tbh they tasted very similar lol. For ~14$ per dish, got a TON of food including one huge egg roll. Food didn't blow my mind but it was generally tasty. Their lunch deal is definitely worth it, for how cheap it is / the amount of food you get / the taste. I don't think I would pay the dinner price ~$17-18 for the food, but lunch, a great deal!! read more

I love the Beef Chow Fun. (Fun is pronounced Foon). They make it better than Peter Chang's does and for less money too. The service is good, I like to order over the phone; I don't use the web to order here. When I get my Beef Chow Fun home I flip it over on a glass plate and it looks like this: read more

Hunan Diamond - Beef Chow Fun flipped over onto a glass plate. - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I used to live close to this place and so we would order from here frequently. I definitely think this place is the tastiest Chinese-American food in the Columbia area. It's very much a casual takeaway place but everything I've had from here is phenomenal. Sometimes I find myself craving their pan fried dumplings which are perfect and juicy. We would usually get their hot crisp beef which is also phenomenal. Other highlights I can think of off the top of my head are the beef and broccoli and the kung pow chicken, fried rice and any of the noodle dishes, but I feel like everything I've had from this place is delicious. One of the few places around here that I will go far out of my way to pick up food from. I do wish I still lived closer to this place. read more

I've only ever gotten take out and it's all been super fresh and delicious! Most incredible wonton soup I've ever had, crispy fried chicken, delicious sauces, and everything is seasoned to perfection. Great prices and portions that satisfy. Been looking for a new Chinese takeout spot and this has become my one and only choice! read more

Fast, delicious Chinese food served efficiently and in large portions. Frequently order

I really enjoy Hunan Diamond's food, and they have one of the best wonton soups around! My favorite dish is the chicken and cashews, but recently they changed the ingredients. It used to come with water chestnuts in it (which I LOVED) and now they swapped them out for carrots. It's a huge bummer because the carrots (which I don't eat) take up about 1/3 of the dish, so I feel like I'm not getting my money's worth. I understand having to cut costs where you can, but for me the change in ingredients makes this dish not worth ordering anymore. read more

It was my first time ordering and I am beyond happy with my choice. They have real fried rice (not the tinted yellow rice you find at a lot of places these days). All of the food was good. Owner was very friendly. I would definitely order from here again. read more

They've been exceptional at delivering food to us for last three months. Always on time, and the food is very delicious.

Love this place. Owner is very nice. Has even stayed open a few minutes to wait for me. We order every week and the food tastes good. Not expensive. Great find. read more

Food was clean! Wasn't heavy with grease. Customer service was great!! My husband has eaten here twice in 24 hours.

I had tried them at least twice. Both time they did not pay attention to my order. I told them not to add sweet sauce to my order. But they DID it both time!! Garlic chicken was veryyy sweet..:(! I have tried it at several places and had a great taste. They ruined it for me. Secondly, they give u very little amount of chicken and relatively too many Vegetables! I requested them to give me a balanced amount. They did not care at All. Won't go there again. After all we are paying to get our fo read more

The worst Chinese food I have tasted in years. Tasteless. I love Sesame Chicken, but I couldn't get past the first piece from Hunan Diamond.

This place is alright in my book, my husband was really excited about the portion sizes. We ordered house fried rice that was good and had lots of shrimp as did all our food. Kung pow chicken that did not have vegetables and was not spicy but I actually liked it. Pad Thai was was kinda bland but they gave us loads of it. And we got steam rice that we did not order so that was cool. Thanks. Literally had leftovers for 3 days. We will be coming back to try more food. Oh and the lady at the register was super nice!!!! She was waiting for me right as I walked in and gave me plates And utensils since we just moved and mine were in boxes. read more

Orange chicken was horrible the chicken was so tough and seen double cooked. Hot and sour soup had a chemical taste, dumplings were good and fried rice was ok. read more

It's cheap Chinese take out... The taste of the food is good, although there is another place that delivers who I think is the "best" :) but overall, unless it tastes bad, I'll still order here when necessary (it's 2 min away from home!) The lady has been there for years; she knows what she's doing and is quick! I've walked in to order (w/ out calling ahead) and often wait there for less than 10 mins. read more

Very poor customer service, ordered lunch special a little past time but instead of correcting order just put down something else. Do not recommend read more

Steamed shrimp and veggies never tasted worse. If you're nearby, go to McDonalds instead. Two stars bc my mother in law enjoyed her order of (dry) spare ribs. read more

My favorite neighborhood spot! Very consistent and reasonable in price. My favorite is the crispy beef so be there on time to pick it up or don't order ahead. It's well worth it! read more

Thought I give it a try since this place got 4 stars. I got wonton soup and chicken broccoli. First off, if you eat a lot of rice, you know this is old rice but not sure how long it had been but considering it was lunch, it shouldn't have been that long unless it was the day before. I am Asian and live off rice, this was not good rice. 2nd, extra greasy. Chicken and broccoli should not be greasy. Wontons we're ok but broth was not good. Prices were reasonable but I don't think it's worth the money. read more

Hunan Diamond - Greasy chicken broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

The owners are friendly. The eating area is small and unclean. The restroom is unclean. The food is thrown together and the vegetables are not washed first. Some dishes taste OK so two star. We had a live insect in our vegetables and were told the food comes like that. read more

This takeout joint has delicious and cheap basic American style Chinese food. Lunch specials have relatively large portions of an entree, egg roll and friend rice for $6 and change. When I call ahead take out is generally ready in 10 minutes. This place is great when you don't feel like cooking and just need some basic, cheap takeout. There are a few tables if you feel the need to eat in, however the decor is very spartan. read more

This is a storefront for takeout. We were sitting among families awaiting their order to go. Don't expect much - paper plates and plastic utensils. No sesame noodles or hacked chicken available. Soda in cans. No glasses offered. Oh, and wobbly chairs. The people were pleasant - surprised we were eating in, but welcoming. read more

Best tasting Chinese restaurant in this area and that includes the chains PeiWei and Panda Express. Food is delivered fast and hot which is not the case especially if you use one of the delivery services. read more

We went thee to celebrate one of kid's getting their drivers license... Shout out to Jenny! The portions were huge and flavored great! The sweet and sour sauce was delicious ... Not too sweet or too thick, so yummy! Great prices, great value, everything tasted satisfying! Lovely staff! I will go back!! read more

I'm surprised that there aren't more reviews for this restaurant! It's a takeout Chinese place and everything I've tried has been really good and I'm really picky when it comes to Chinese food. It's definitely your typical greasy take-out Chinese food but everything is tasty. If you're looking for good Americanized Chinese food this is a great choice. The white meat General tsos chicken is really good and my favorite thing the spicy tangy wontons. They are dumpling style wontons swimming in a really unique sauce. I also really like the steamed dumplings and the lo mein is always good. The prices are great. I've tried a bunch of Chinese restaurants in Columbia and I haven't been that excited about them. We will keep getting Chinese food takeout from here. read more

Very Bad service got large hot and sour soup the young lady behind the counter didn't put any chili sauce or crackers when I was ordering she was pretty pretty route I don't know why she treated me bad we just moved to Columbia and I love good chains food I never go to this place again read more

A very solid Chinese takeout restaurant. I use to eat here often when I lived in Harper's Choice many years ago. Dined there recently- nothing overly special, just a good value for your $$. I'm fond of their Kung Pao chicken, heavy on the hoisin sauce. Friendly service. read more

This place has been my go-to for years, but....the last two times I've gotten food from then it's just been kind of sad. Unrelievedly sweet and sticky and not very flavorful. Like, I'm suspicious my General Tso's and my garlic broccoli had the same sauce on them, and there didn't seem to be any garlic involved. I don't want to look for a new Chinese place, but it might be time. read more

Seldom do I write reviews, however I do feel the need to warn other unsuspecting customers. I will preface by saying that I haven't had any other menu items besides the Honey Sesame shrimp. For all I know the other dishes may be fantastic but unfortunately I got the honey sesame shrimp. The shrimp was a very minuscule part of the actual dish itself. Majority of the dish was the overbearing sweet sauce and the breading which was twice the size of the actual itself. Not only was the shrimp very small compared to the breading itself, but the shrimp was very dry and over cooked. Never do I write negative reviews however if you need to order from here then I do not suggest ordering the honey sesame shrimp. Honestly at this point Panda Express would be a better option. read more

BEST CHINESE FOOD IN HOCO. It's a takeout restaurant but everything I've ordered there has blown me away. Better than Hunan manor(much cheaper too!) Soups: egg drop is the perfect mixture, not goopy like some places serve, good till the last drop Also wonton soup is amazing broth and generous number of wontons with flavorful filling Hands down, BEST DUMPLINGS anywhere. Dumplings are my favorite food and I search out dumpling places every year for my birthday. For steamed AND fried pork dumplings, I've never had better. Dumpling sauce is sweet and the perfect compliment to the lil bundles of joy Pork wontons exceeded our expectations and the spicy Hunan wontons were also amazing. I can't make this up friends, if you need more encouragement to visit this family-owned, secret family recipe-based Chinese takeout place, go for the Sesame chicken. I usually get a chicken dish when I'm first trying a Chinese place bc it can be very telling. Again, my husband and I were blown away. Each piece was as good as the last, the sauce rich and sweet. We had it for dinner the next day over leftover rice and it was still incredible. Can't wait to order again!! read more

The food wasn't great. And the floor was really sticky. I ordered the vegetable lo mei but it wasn't as good as the other lo meins I had it left a weird after taste read more

I've been eating at this carryout for 13 years and have never had a mediocre meal. I think the quality of the ingredients and cooking of the food is fantastic. Not to mention the great service. The single meals I get are about $13 but I always have leftovers. read more

4.5 stars***** Happened to stop by here when in the area and was pleasantly surprised with this place. Had the Chicken with broccoli and Sesame chicken. The ingredients were fresh and dishes were cooked well, not too oily but with great flavor. A plus is that they had my favorite cream cheese crab wontons ( aka crab rangoons) which were also really good. Also noticed other customers ordering and they are able to adjust to taste, ie spicier or more mild, or with substitutes, which is a plus. This is not a full service restaurant but there are enough tables there to sit if you want to dine. Minimalistic decor but clean and comfortable. Overall would come back here for Chinese food if I was in the area. read more

We went there because we were meeting a family member halfway to Baltimore and this location seemed like a good compromise. I guess we would have preferred more of a Chinese restaurant rather than what is mostly a take-out business. The ladies did try hard to please. The food was just fine. It was served in take-out containers and they did give us each a Styrofoam plate and plastic knife and fork. The good thing was when we wanted to take some leftovers home, they were already in take-out containers, all we need was a bag to put them in. The average dish was $12 to $13 which is high for a purely take-out place. It would have been nice to pay those prices and be in a nice sit-down table-clothed restaurant with real plates and silverware. We'll be back for take-outs next time. read more

Columbia/Ellicott city is a total Chinese food desert. There's a restaurant every 4 miles but they're all AWFUL. I thought I'd finally found an oasis at Hunan Diamond because I like their hot 'n sour soup and the lo mein is pretty good. But last time I ordered, I got the "special" curry beef stew over rice and it was a joke. It was totally flavorless, not even a hint of curry. It was a maybe a half a cup of beef and like 10 cups of white rice. There were precisely six broccoli florets thrown in purely for decoration. The beef was practically all gristle. it was obvious they were trying to sell some leftover beef trimmings. So unfortunately what I thought would be our go-to Chinese take out turned out to be a major disappointment. I wish you luck in finding great Chinese in the area. Let me know if you find it! read more

I have been eating here on and off for years. Front lady can tell you your order before you can say it... If you have been a loyal customer.... Love that! Good portions and the food always comes out hot and fresh read more

This is a great neighborhood joint. The food is FANTASTIC. I really recommend the Honey Sesame Chicken, and Orange Beef. The staff is friendly and always in a good mood, and the serving sizes are large and plentiful. They offer the standard variety of menu items most Chinese restaurants do, but the flavor of their dishes is really unique - almost like a true family recipe. Order something and compare it to the taste of the same dish at other places and you'll see what I mean - this place is a real gem. Also, the fortune cookies are sometimes kinda kooky and usually make us laugh! read more

The Szechuan bean curd I ordered was amazing and it's nice that they include rice free of charge with the order, however I ordered the vegetable chow mein and just received mixed vegetables with no chow mein noodles and the vegetables weren't exceptional. I'll most likely order from here again just because the Szechuan bean curd was so delicious. read more
