Absolutely amazing! Food & Service ! If you go there, the ambiance is so relaxing! We love the service, chicken &egg rolls & veggie fried rice! read more

Been trying to find a good spot since our last place sold and is completely different. Wow! Quality ingredients, the ability to order 1/2 portions, pick your rice style, and great tasting! Chicken lo mien was excellent General Tso chicken could have been spicier, we will ask next time, Cashew chicken with vegetables was excellent too. All quality bites of meat and vegetables. Friendly service and ready in the time specified! We found a winner! read more

Used to be way better, everyone agreed the best crab Rangoon in town. But heard new owners around the time the taste changed and people started complaining. Just meh from what can tell from tryin a few things. Tried to order large plain rice because sharing, and they don't have anymore. Didnt know until showed up the "we only have one size" was the tiny 3 bite size. Sad since used to be everyone's favorite, but think going to delete the number from my phone and hunt out new. read more

Absolutely the best Chinese food around town. From the chicken to the beef, everything is worth trying. I have been hundreds of times and never left disappointed. My favorite is the hot braised chicken and Kung pao beef. They also have the best crab Rangoon, fresh homemade daily! It's a mom and pop family run business, and I love stopping in. read more

I was craving some Chinese food and the pictures looked like the food was going to be good. It was not. I ordered the general tso chicken combination plate. The chicken was so dry that it was almost crunchy, the plain "fried" rice that came with it was barely a half shade above white it was nothing like the pictures shown so don't believe the false advertisement I also ordered the ham fried rice They did not tell me there were raw peas and almost raw onions in the fried rice Overall a bad experience I will not be back 0/10 do not recommend read more

You know, it's ok. It's chinese take out. Par for the course. You've been to one chinese take out you've been to all of them. It's got all the regular dishes, anything you'd find anywhere else, quality just a tiny bit better than any other place. No big surprises. If you are passing through or are local looking for a chinese take out place, and that's all it is, then I say give it a try and see what you think. read more

The Chicken with Vegetables and Shrimp with Vegetables are excellent, even if unoriginal in name. The half portion is enough for two of us, and a full portion feeds the whole family. The Egg Foo Young is exceptional if you like this kind of food, and the portions are enormous on even the half orders. The soups are not the best; but, of their selections, the Wonton Soup is probably the superior choice if needing soup for ease of swallowing with minimal chewing or for smaller portioning. They do a good job on their appetizers and particularly the rangoons, but the sauces are prepackaged and not made in house. If they had a custom sauce it would be even better, but since these are top notch already the sauce can only detract so much. Instead, we bring them home and use our own sauce with them unless we are eating them at any of the beautiful nearby areas to eat out in nature (well, nature with picnic tables anyway). The food is always served quite promptly, only one time did we have to wait more than 10 minutes for it to be made fresh other than the steamed rice. Occasionally late in the day the steamed rice is drier, but once mixed with any of the sauces it is palatable if only because the rest of the dish is so very delicious. This has only happened twice ever out of many visits, though. The restaurant itself is just barely large enough to not constitute a hole-in-the-wall establishment. They have almost as much space for the counter with utensils and condiments as for the row of seating. This also is a truly small business in the staffing sense, that does a lot of business on busy days. The best food is often before lunch rush or dinner rush, but it is great any time of day they are open. On that, their hours of operation are a bit wonky so make sure to check, and having so few staff when they need a vacation (as we all do) the restaurant is often closed for a week or more multiple times a year. If traveling to dine here, it is advisable to call first and ensure they are actually open so as to not be frustrated potentially on missing food. If local, signing up for notices online I feel is the way to go. read more

I love coming to this Chinese restaurant. If you go in to order it will be cheaper than ordering it to go or delivery. The person that takes the orders is friendly and is able to explain anything you need help with. The avg. time I wait is 25-30 minutes on a Friday evening. The inside is clean and easy to navigate. The food tastes great and is always hot! read more

Smells like smoke but putting that aside, I ordered a combo appetizer platter. Everything was burnt. The beef on a stick literally cracked off the stick when I picked it up and it was almost black. The fried wontons were dark brown. I was suppose to get two fried chicken wings but got 1 extremely small chicken wing cut into two pieces, which were also burnt. When I called to complain, of course no one spoke English. They kept saying they would call me back. The old owners were great but I'm done with this place, they raised prices and really starting cutting corners. read more

I love this place! Been my go to spot since they opened years ago. Tall kid is great guy and always forgets my fortune cookie but I forgive him bc it's honest mistake. He always makes up for it. 5 stars!!! read more

Hunan Express - Hot braised - Chinese Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

I loved my first take out experience with Hunan Express. I got 4 orders (8) vegetable egg rolls, General Tso w/white rice, egg drop soup, and shrimp lo mein. All were flavorful. I would go back for sure. read more

Giving 3 stars for removing a regular ingredient due to a severe allergy. Plus, the portions are very generous, and the pork egg rolls are great. I ordered pineapple chicken, which I've always had in a brown sauce. This was not, and it was not good. Had a fishy taste (?). The hunan beef had a great flavor, but the meat was tough. I've read reviews saying that all Chinese restaurantsarethe same. Not true. Our local place was so busy, they weren't accepting orders for over an hour, so we decided to try this place. Next time, I'll wait. read more

Completely waste of time. Do not advertise that you are going to be open on Christmas if you cannot service orders! Went to pick up order. Kid working behind the counter clueless and slow. No system to print Uber eats orders, had to be transcribed manually and ultimately wrong. Waited over 1.5 hours and left empty handed in frustration. read more

Hunan Express - a group of people standing in a room - Chinese Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Like everywhere else, unfortunately the prices have risen a fair amount, but it's my second favorite Chinese restaurant ( first for quick, and convenient to me location). read more

Ordered Orange chicken & wonton soup via Grubhub today. Order arrived with no napkins and no utensils. Avoid unless you want to eat with your hands and drink from the soup cup. My last order ever from there. read more

Delicious food!! The lo mein has amazing flavor and portions are big. Definitely going to come back.

worst chinese food we have ever had! dried out rice, tough chicken and overcooked lo mein. potstickers were tough and flavorless. The chicken dishes had a weird aftertaste. we ate there years ago and it was terrible but thought we would try it again and it's still just as bad. We threw away $50 worth of food. We certainly do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Love this place!! They'll always accommodate whatever changes you want to make in their dishes.

Ordered shrimp an vegatables plus wonton soup via Grubhub delivery today. Arrived with absolutely no napkins or utensils, Hunan must serve customers thinking they eat with their hand s and drink from the bowl holding in their hands & of course never wipe lips. A restaurant somehow surviving the dark ages. read more

Hot braised chicken is the BEST! Always such friendly service and timely orders. Best Chinese food I've ever had and I've had a lot

I would give this no stars if I could. Orange chicken was so tough I could not chew it easily and swallow. The dumplings were nasty as well. When I called and told them they are selling old food and it's nasty, they insisted it was fresh. This is the worst Chinese food I've had in my entire life. Stay away. read more

Awful service. No Ambiance. Food ok mostly carry out. Time is problem. Not a clean place.

Hands down our favorite Chinese restaurant! Food is awesome excellent & they are really quick!

Always had good food from this place. Portions are generous at reasonable prices....................................

We tried this restaurant for the first time. A pickup order which was not complicated at all. If you like"Crab Rangoon" with no crab which were covered with insane amount of tough crust, and off the chart on a completely tough an inedible chicken goo entree, this place is for you. I have two stars because they were very pleasant, food was prompt and there are of course, other choices. And so there you, there are other Chinese choices. read more

Just finished up a really awesome ( huge and tasty) plate of hot braised chicken lunch special. I was pleasantly surprised by the additional sides they gave! I will definitely be back ;) read more

Hunan Express - Hot braised awesomeness! - Chinese Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Mushy and gummy chopped up fried rice ...tasted like it had been cooked earlier and warmed up again....Egg roll was just ok.....Please take pride in what you serve the general public.....Won't go back read more

Frequently receive the wrong items - egg roll instead of soup, for example. Also, always ask for no Napa in my meal and they ALWAYS leave it in. Every freaking time. This time they also added broccoli, which isn't even an ingredient in Moo Goo Gai Pan. After messing up my order three times in a row AND their driver running over my mailbox, I will never order from them again. read more

we went on a dreary October for an early lunch. i ordered the hot braised boneless chicken lunch special which includes crab rangoon and fried rice. i ordered a bowl of wonton soup for an additional 70-ish cents. there was one decent sized wonton in it and the flavor was ok, texture was a tad wonky though. soup base was fine. split an order of fried potstickers, very disappointed that they were deep fried as opposed to traditional pan fried. flavor was ok. the hot braised chicken was not good - the fried rice looked like it had been cooked for days - grains were short and saturated with soy sauce. the chicken was not spicy and extraordinarily dry (see photo - cut into a piece of it) read more

Hunan Express - Chinese Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Worst Chinese food I have ever had! Ordered sweet and sour chicken, beef lo mein, shrimp fried rice, egg rolls and crab rangoon. The egg rolls were burnt on the outside and the innards tasted like sauerkraut. The sweet and sour sauce had a strong flavor of bbq sauce in it and the chicken had a strong burnt taste, but the batter around it looked normal (not sure what they did to do that). Every piece of vegetable in the shrimp fried rice had been burned (burn marks) in which I am sure contributed to the burnt taste as well as the rice being over cooked. The Beef Lo Mein was ok. The meat was cooked properly and the noodles weren't over or under cooked. The crab rangoon was so-so. I don't understand all the high reviews. Maybe there was a change of chefs or management, but this place is horrible!! read more

The sweet and sour chicken was not good at all. I got it as carry out and when I got home and bit into it I realized I had been to this place before and hated it the first time, too. The chicken tastes ok (but dry), rice is ok (but smaller box of rice than I get at other places), veggies are ok... but the sweet and sour sauce is nasty. I'm not sure what it is but there is some "off" flavor to it that I've never tasted at other Chinese restaurants. (I almost always get sweet and sour chicken at Chinese restaurants-- its my favorite). Another thing... I first ordered a half order and then discovered it only saved me 80 cents, so I changed it to a full order. That is plain silly.The place I normally go to has half orders at near half the price. read more

Hands down my favorite little Chinese place in West County. My wife and I used to eat at this restaurant all the time in graduate school and now that we live in the area again we are once again regulars. The egg fu young is excellent! 10/2007 Stopped in to pick up some food on the way home with the wife and the twins. The staff were enthralled with the boys and took such great care of us. read more

Dry and over cooked chicken, but also soggy. Was supposed to be a spicy dish and it wasn't. Not worth the money!

food portion was large. curbside order was 100% correct. food was good! very quick also.

A+++ with a minor exception: the fried rice was not great. Shrimp tasted like shrimp and superbly cooked. Chicken was steamed to perfection. Vegetables were crisp and enjoyable to eat. The gentleman at the door was polite and professional. Overall, outstanding. A local gem. read more

Food is great and for a good price. Delivery and service are prompt and polite. Lots of places to choose from but I always choose Hunan.

We just moved to Manchester- my husband brought this home - the food was not good at all. The fried rice was tasteless. We were not happy since we came from am area that had an amazing Chinese restaurant!!! read more

Best Chinese food around and my go to place every time we order out. Is the dude below me serious in that he had a wait on a Friday night?! DUH! It's fast food, not magic. If you don't call in your food ahead of time, you'll have a wait. The wait is WORTH it. It's a really great deal of you go in for dinner too! The dinner special provides MORE than enough food. Definitely my favorite. read more

We ordered orange chicken and empress chicken. We could not tell the difference between them so buyer beware. They either gave us two orders of orange chicken or the two items are nearly identical. read more

Everything we ordered was absoluretely horrible. We tried to lost $30 on two or three bites of food, and they refused compensation. Go at your own risk! read more
