The only bummer for me was the fact it says it's a "Chinese restaurant " when in fact it's just a carry out. And also no lunch special on Saturdays (Mon-Fri Only) Otherwise everything else check out for me. The prices are fair. The food quantity is fulfilling. The Quality was great. I ordered the chicken wings: They were crunchy as I liked them. Needed more flavor (salt/pepper) but still good. The Mumbo sauce is that classic Redish/pink sauce that I love. The egg rolls had a light & fresh taste. They were , crunchy & most of all not greasy! The shrimp was a nice small/medium. The general Taos Chicken was very good. I ordered mines with all white meat ($1.50 extra) the white rice was cooked perfectly. Ohh and most of all I loved the customer service. I was greeted nicely. The people had a nice attitude. They made me feel happy to spend my money there. They were very appreciative for my business. All in All , I would definitely come Back here. It's a nice spot. Give it a try. read more

It's killing me because I don't wanna give a bad review because she was so nice on the phone but I called in for a pick up. Ordered 4 steak & cheese egg rolls & I got one that was biggggg like the size of a sandwich & indeed once I bit into it, it was a steak & cheese sandwich in an egg roll. It included sauce but I didn't want sauce I just wanted a regular steak & cheese egg roll withOUTT all the lettuce & other things in the sandwich. Now I'm sad because the egg roll costed $10 & I didn't even get to enjoy it NOW i just feel like I wasted my money. read more

It's okay, average doesn't work for me. I will say, it came to my home quickly, but the food was definitely just average.

I was running errands in the area and stumbled across this gem. Ordered take out. The combination plate with fried rice and bbq spare ribs was great! I am originally from Massachusetts and haven't found good ribs in the 15 years I've lived here. The only reason I'm not giving the food 5 stars is because the egg roll wasn't that good. The steak and cheese egg roll was decent. And the peach cobbler was frozen (I thought it was fresh but it was prepackaged). read more

Hunan East Restaurant - BBQ Spare Ribs Platter - Chinese Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

I'm giving this place 3 stars and only because my Egg Foo Young was not up to par when I found something that just didn't look to pleasing see pic. I have other food hear and not had any issues but this batch of food I had just don't look right. I can't even tell you what it is. Oh I forgot I order two Egg Foo Young and the first patty was good but the next one yuk! read more

Hunan East Restaurant - a half eaten piece of cake - Chinese Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

Worst carryout in district heights. Steak & cheese egg rolls are TERRIBLE! The mumbo sauce is watery.

Family owned restaurant, that is extremely friendly and happy. The food is great. The prices are great. The customer service is great. I had the combination fried rice (without pork) and it was delicious. The crab rangoon is crispy, and flavorful. Very clean. Plenty of room for a party of 12. read more

Adorable little carry out spot. Love the option to order online via thier website. That's about where the good times end. The food, not so adorable. When perusing the menu online I noticed a few combos that one wouldn't typically see or necessarily stomach. Steak & Cheese Eggroll??? I. can't. They. shouldn't. Just keeping it 100. I ordered the beef with oyster sauce. It was more bland than the Pope. Absolutely no distinguishable flavor. My friend ordered the combination sweet & sour dish. I think she went into diabetic shock. Where in the hell is the "sour" or balance to that dish? There just wasn't any hope in finishing either meal. Ah, the search for good take-out (I know, an oxymoron) continues... Stay thirsty my friends. read more

This rating is for the lunch special. Huge portion. Great price. Comes with a soup or egg roll for 50 cents extra - that price for a big cup of hot and sour soup was the best 50 cents I've ever spent. Standard American Chinese, so don't be coming here looking for authentic. We will be back for sure. read more

This place has fallen to shits. The customer service is very piss poor. I ordered 2 meals, did not receive any forks or napkins. I went back in to ask, & received a WHOLE LOT OF ATTITUDE. How am I going to eat the food with NO UTENSILS!? Also I get all the way home, just to realize I do not have the sauce for the Sweet & Sour Chicken. What part of the sweet & sour chicken is sweet and sour without the sweet and sour sauce?! Make it make sense. Save yourself the headache & go to TGI Fridays nearby instead. read more

Went to this restaurant last night asked them for Shrimp Lo Mein with no mushroom when I arrived at home it had mushroom inside the container I called the restaurant the manager told me to bring the food back the next day why sure I have to keep food when its not correct. My shrimp toast was not cooked properly. DO NOT EAT HERE and I will be contact the Better Business Bureau. read more

Food is always deelish! I always order extra shrimp when I order shrimp Hunan or Sesame Shrimp. My order was a little short this particular night but once I called the restaurant and let them know they very quickly corrected it! Maybe they were busy and had an off night but I will continue to order from them because they are very nice and the food is always GREAT! Would highly recommend! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work! read more

Went there to day just to get a Singapore rice noodle. But shrimp only well got home more noodles than anything and a couple of shrimps. They want the money but don't fucking give you what you ask for. Never fucking again will i come here a waist of my money. read more

I added one extra thing to my delivery order and got multiple benefits! The food had a very rich color, the abundance and the goodness was so authentic to the the best in town reputation: had enough for lunch and dinner. the aroma and the flavors compared to most recent places i have ordered within the area....better taste, better ingredients and better efficency in delivery. I had the chicken with broccoli and fried rice, egg rolls, and chicken wings with something new to me mumba sauce..very tasty! It arrived with steam indicating it was fresh and hot like it is suppose to be when arriving and not driven around for a long period of time and the broccoli was cooked just right. I know now that I do not have to settle for ordinary when I had this experience of extraordinary. The egg rolls didnt taste unusual...they tasted just like they was suppose to. Their establishment also dont try to do too many foods like pizza, subs etc. hello; you other chinese places are trying to do too much. They deliver up to midnight on friday and saturday. they also have buffet for 5.95 offer coupons after so much spent, lunch specials as low as 4.95. I definitely will order from them again. Thanks for the delicous experience of finally finding a place I can order exceptional food to take straight to the table when it arrives to enjoy! read more

Stay away from this place!!!!! My office came here for lunch. There were multiple different lunch dishes ordered and all of them were horrible. The waitress attempted to take our menus prior to taking our order. She left and later came back to take our order. Someone from the kitchen brought our food and set it on the end of the table not telling us what it was or asking whose food it was. The waitress didn't check on us or anything. We only came here because the Chinese Buffet was closed across the street. The worst decision ever. Don't wait your time or money. read more

Yum! Ok so I was told to beware of Chinese food in the area- I should start by saying that... Been in the DC Area for a short time, and work in Suitland, MD so I decided to finally give this place a try. I have tried other places out in NE DC- was not impressed. FINALLY a decent Chinese option. The wonton soup was simple, but flavorful; just how I like it. Added some noodled that came with it (fried crispy noodles) it was delicious. The lo-mein may have a little bit too much oil... BUT not like I've had at places that ruin food with too much oil. I'll ask that light oil be used next time. As for the restaurant its self, I did carryout. I was impressed by the smell! I hate when a restaurant smells like cleaning products, smoke, or any thing else really but it smelt like it should- food! I will return, next time I'll dine in. :) read more

I use to come to Hunan a while ago when I worked from home, because their food was great and they were convenient. I haven't been in a while, I say a little over a year. Last night I decided after a long day at work, I would order take out dinner. I picked it up, got it home, opened my Pepper Steak, and was shocked. My dish was more onion than anything else, hardly any steak, and it was drenched in this thick brown gravy, which I had to pour out just to see what was underneath. Needless to say it was not good at all; rather disgusting and I threw it out. I don't know what happened to them over the year, but after this experience, I will not be returning to Hunan. read more

I don't normally do the "corry out", I prefer to make myself but today was one of those days at work and I just had a taste for some msg. Ordered over the phone with what sounded like a child. That's cool. Teach them the family business. That was pretty much my interaction with the staff other than picking up and paying. No problems there. I had the shrimp and broccoli. It was more like broccoli with a lil bit of shrimp. Good thing I like broccoli and won't mind eating just it for leftovers. Could have used more sauce too. Overall, not the best but not the worst. Decent spot to go if in a pinch. read more

Hunan East Restaurant - The shrimp on top was pretty much it..but it did taste fresh which I appreciated. - Chinese Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

I have enjoyed hunan east since I moved to district heights in 2008. It has the cleanest interior and eating area (and I'm going to assume the kitchen is clean as well :-0) than any carry out in this area. The cashiers are very friendly and I love the fact that they are a close nit family. Cleanliness and friendliness are next to great tasting foodliness (the Foodie Trinity). Now to the food. It's not bad at all for the area. I enjoy it and if you explore some of the other things on the menu besides the (general tso's and orange chicken) like the duck and egg foo young, then you will be pleasantly surprised about how decent the food is. The chicken wings aren't bad either. The spring rolls are a wonderful addition to a fat filled crave night when you order some lo mein or egg foo young. I would recommend getting all sauces on the side - as with many AmChin restaurants, the food is drowned in sauces. They have no problem putting the sauce in the side. I'd also recommend getting fried rice without added soy sauce. I promise, it tastes just the same. One of my favorite meals is the shrimp and brocolli with the sauce on the side. Bangin' with an order of spring rolls on the side! read more

Well over an hour waiting for food when I was told 45 minutes. Still waiting. Will not be ordering again for any reason. UPDATE: An hour and a half later I cancelled my order. "Driver didn't answer". Please don't order from here-- the reviews about horrible customer service being horrible are absolutely accurate. I'll be checking to make sure every cent of money went back to my card. We paid to not eat. You're not that hungry, order from somewhere else please. read more

We ordered from here today via Yelp! and we were pleased with the food and the delivery. We got the sweet and sour chicken platter, the orange chicken platter and the Crab rangoon appetizer.  Everything looked and tasted fresh. The Crab Rangoon was very tasty too. We would definitely order from here again. read more

Hunan East Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

This review applies to their delivery service only. We have not eaten at the restaurant. Let me start with one word: "Yuk". Now I will explain with a few more words. We ordered crab Rangoon, egg drop soup, chicken lo mein, and Szechuan chicken. The egg drop soup and crab Rangoon were acceptable, Szechuan chicken was passable, but the chicken lo mein was terrible. It had a strange taste, not a spice I was familiar with. Maybe you will like it, but "yuk". If you disagree, and like the food, be forewarned that delivery time was over an hour. Our regular Chinese restaurant closed and we are looking for a replacement, unfortunately Hunan East Chinese Restaurant ain't it. read more

It's a no for me! Ordered a shrimp and broccoli with fried rice. The shrimp tasted old (yuck) and was drowning in sauce. No bueno, at all. I'd rather go to another 'hood Chinese spot, where the food is more fresh and taken care of. read more

I ordered the combination fried rice and a steak egg roll. The combination fried rice was awesome and still hot when I ate. The steak egg roll was okay but I'll stick with the regular egg and spring rolls. I'll be ordering from them again. read more

Review is based on their delivery service; have not dined in at the restaurant. The menu is vast and the portions are huge. We ordered Crab Rangoon, Egg Drop Soup, Chicken lo Mein, and Szechuan Chicken. The egg drop soup and crab Rangoon were acceptable, my guy said chicken lo mein was terrible. I ordered the Szechuan Chicken "hot"- it was neither particularly warm temp wise or spicy. Way more of this meal went into the garbage disposal than into us. For those that like it - enjoy, as for me and my guy - it was quite underwhelming. Note: If you decide to try it - the delivery time was over an hour, the food was nearly cold and the delivery driver honked the horn and called us trying to get us to come to his vehicle to get the food - if I wanted curb service, I'd have gone through a drive thru! Our regular Chinese take-out place recently closed and we are searching for a replacement, the search continues. read more

I ordered some orange chicken and other food, and I received an orange chicken that was very old and hard to eat, very disappointed of the place, if they can't provide good food they should reduce the menu to something they can manage to provide fresh food not old or over heat in the microwave " if I want food heat by the microwave I will bring my own food and heat it " read more

We ordered a chicken fried rice, which they didn't have on the menu but the lady was nice enough to make it for us. We also ordered a general Tso's chicken, shrimp hunan. The food was very good! The place looks very sketchy but the food was great. Definitely worth 4 stars. Last but not least as a little treat they brought us little donut like pastries. read more

Hunan East Restaurant - Sweet tea, kind of tastes like sweet tea lemonade but pretty good - Chinese Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

Quality is going way down. I recently got food poisoning from their beef and broccoli. It was pretty brutal...quite embarrassing. So bad that I had to call my ex to come and save me. I survived, but wont be ordering from them anymore. I got three meals that night. Ate the wings day 1, but tossed the general tso's because the meat was overcooked (or reheated) to rocks per usual. The egg rolls were mush inside and smelled God awful ... They used to be delish! Got that to go with Wonton Soup... The taste wasn't right at all. Gross lingering aftertaste. Tossed them too. Lunch the next day I had the beef and broccoli as leftovers. It wasnt even an hour later when I got sick. Lasted 15 hours . ** it was definitely their food because I work two jobs back to back... and was living on literally just water and skittles until I was off and ordered*** read more

The quality is very low at this place. Especially, do not get the duck dishes. I've tried the roast duck twice and each time it has been too crispy and less meat than half a duck. They will cancel your order online if you request some quality control with your food siting "disrespect." Stay FAR away from this place! read more

It's good food this my first time eating here I love it they did not rush to cook the food good customer service I would love to eat here again and again i wonder if they cook for party's but anyway I love there duck and the egg rolls read more

The delivery man refused to come to my door. He said "we don't come to doors". Since when? I won't be ordering from them again. I order food from you and you don't have enough respect to walk to steps to my door? Nope. Never again. read more

I was a regular customer of this restaurant. The food is usually very good but the customer service truly sucks!!! I ordered delivery of a combination meal with shrimp (no shrimp was included) and chicken and vegetable soup (no chicken was included) I called the restaurant to resolve and was told to bring the food back for them to replace. Having just come from the hospital going to a restaurant was not my plan. The lady on the phone continued to put me on hold and finally decided to re-deliver the food offering me a 2-hour delivery time. When I mentioned that I would bring the food back but expected a refund she agreed to redeliver the food after putting me on hold 5 times and coming back and asking the questions over and over again and confirming with the chef that he did indeed include shrimp but would re-do the soup. I usually would give this restaurant high remarks but I will not be ordering food from them again. I don't know why carry outs in predominately black neighborhoods feel like they can treat their customers poorly. read more

My first time ordering from here and compared to all the other carryouts in the area and we have a lot of them,, this one is hands down the second best Mainland being the First but they don't deliver, so I was very pleased, customer service was great. read more

Hunan East Restaurant - Vegetable Egg Foo Young, Fried Shrimp Toast, Fried Dumplings whats left of it - Chinese Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

This restaurant ripped me off! I ordered through Uber Eats and accidentally pushed the cancel button instead of the order button. Two minutes later I completed my repeat order and sent it. I was charged twice by Uber Eats. I contacted Uber Eats to get one of the charges refunded or credited and they refused because the restaurant toolUber Eats they prepared both orders! Only one order was delivered and it is hard to believe that they prepared 2 back to back orders for delivery to the same address without phoning or texting to check on the duplication. I will not use Uber Eats ever again and certainly will not ever order from this establishment. Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware)! read more

Horrible food took forever to come. Wings and fries were soggy and the food was cold... Makes me not want to eat carry out ever again

I ordered from this place before and loved it...I've been searching forever and Im glad i found it! Its affordable, delivery time is excellent and the food is delicious. Inly thing sucks is that I didn't get the sauces I asked for but I always have extra anyway! read more

Ehh. Got chicken wings and fries with "mumble" sauce. The fries were over cooked and crunchy. Chicken was ok but not flavorful. The "mumble" (not mambo) sauce was thin and watered down. Tried them on a whim as I was too hungry and tired to keep driving around. Not going back. Place had a weird smell too. read more

Food is always good but delivery is SUPER SLOW. I love about 20 minute from the restaurant and it takes over an hour for delivery.

When I first began going to this restaurant the food was great, however, I never noticed how bad the customer service was. Recently, when I called to place an order the lady was rude on the phone and was yelling at me, but I decided to let it go. Today after I called and ordered my food she was extremely rude like she was in a hurry to get off the phone. When I asked her to repeat my order she had a problem with it and said it too fast where I couldn't really understand. Then she gave me the total and said bye.....as if I was done with my conversation. I was heading to pick up the food and decided that I couldn't patron a restaurant where the owner is extremely rude and doesn't care about the customer. Therefore, I called and cancelled the order and she asked me what did I order. I told her you took my phone number, therefore you can look it up. She said the chef was already preparing it and I told her I'm still canceling. She then told me don't call her back. Nobody should have to deal with someone like her. She needs to remember there's other competitors in the same area as her and that she needs customers for the business to thrive. read more

The absolute worst customer service! I ordered from GrubHub. When the delivery guy arrived, he called me and instead of coming to the door he told me I had to come to his car to get my food. I was appalled to say the least! How are you a delivery service and you don't even get out of your car?! This place only received one star as I am big on customer service and I don't feel like I need to come out of my house to get my food if I am paying a delivery fee. The food was good though. I might as well have gone to the store for all of that! Do better Hunan East!! read more
