Recently moved here and really wanted to find a good Chinese place. After trying a few that we weren't too happy with, we found Hunan express and were really pleased!! Definitely the best so far. I had the sesame honey chicken which is great, just a little too much honey and not your typical sesame sauce taste-still good though. Chicken lo mein is amazing. My fiancé got beef with spicy garlic sauce and loved it. We'll be back! read more

Schezuan beef was wonderful. Lots of shredded carrots balanced with quality beef and flavor. Hunan chicken is great too. Lots of aldente broccoli, carrots and mushrooms. I ordered the dinner size Hunan beef and ate it 3 days in a row for lunch. Can't beat it! You can order the sauce on the side if you're trying to be healthy but I find that if I specify little oil, the dish is more complete and tastes better. Enjoy! Oh..medium spicy isn't that spicy. read more

It's your basic cheap carry out Chinese joint. Nothing to go out of your way to try in my opinion. We've gotten take out here a bunch of times because it's convenient. The shrimp fried rice is pretty good. It's huge and they don't skimp on the shrimp, but it's pretty greasy. It's not bad food, but I've since discovered places like Chopstixx and East Asian Bistro that I prefer over Hunan. read more

If you are looking for fast order and cheap food, you should try this place. That's exactly what I did. A couple of my friends wanted to enjoy the nice weather for lunch, so they decided to have a picnic at Fort McHenry. Unfortunately, we were responsible for our own meal, so I just drove into a random plaza which I thought would have a fast food joint, but found this Chinese take-out place instead. You will spend $5-$7 for a meal that will guarantee your hunger will be gone by the time you finish it. If you spend more, you are doing something wrong. The food was as good as you make out of it. I thought it was quite satisfactory for the price I paid for, so I was happy. Anyway, in summary, I will come this place if I have to make another quick decision for food again. read more

This is an excellent Chinese takeout restaurant. The portions and prices are very generous. Their wontons and dumplings are above average. Always a decent meal with plenty of leftovers. read more

Great. Just great. Their food is the best Chinese food I've had. It's my opinion and you can judge all you want but their prices to food ratio is phenomenal along with their sesame chicken and fried rice. I live just near here and when I'm just about to come home for dinner, I just call and as soon as I get there, my food is done. Great customer service on top of that. read more

Too greasy. You can just taste the oil. Have had way better Chinese fast food. Combination fried rice was not even mixed well. Won't be ordering from here again. read more

Hunan Express - Combination fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

See all

Kinda disappointing, but probably about what a person would expect from a hole-in-the-wall style Chinese restaurant. Vegetable lo mein was the best thing we ordered. Chicken with cashews was strangely sugary. Egg foo yung greasy and flavorless. Spare ribs tasted like freezer burn. Sigh. . . .I'm always hoping for an undiscovered gem, but this isn't it. read more

Excellent taste. One of my favorite fast Chinese takeout places. Great spring rolls, wanton soup, and general tso's. My girlfriend also likes their egg drop soup. read more

We have enjoyed Hunan Express for years. They are very fast and the food is good. We particularly enjoy the fried dumplings, sesame chicken and they make a chicken with broccoli in a black bean sauce. Good place for Chinese carry out. read more

Excellent Chinese food! I'll go out of my way to get my Chinese food from Hunan Express and they've never let me down. I'd highly recommend getting take out from them. read more

I would never return again! I ordered beef and broccoli and it was basically a dish of broccoli. The beef that was in it ...was nasty and I'm not really sure that it was beef. I called and they said that they gave me a larger container and that's why there was so much broccoli. It's funny because it was a same size container as my other dish I ordered. After saying that to her...she hung up on me. Would not recommend this place. read more

I travel for business daily and rely on Yelp to help me find good places to eat while traveling. The great reviews of this place are on point! General Tso's my favorite dish is some of the best I have had. Egg rolls left a little to be desired. Staff greeted me and was very friendly. Will be back for sure next time in town. Very convenient to the Holiday Inn Express. read more

I live within a mile of the restaurant. I have almost ordered the menu. I have never been disappointed. These are hardworking folks who deliver a superior product at a very affordable price. Mountain Man read more

This was some of the worst chinese food Ive had in a while. Elkridge must be oblivious to good chinese food because the reviews led me to believe that this is some of the best. Ordered hunan shrimp lunch special. The rice is so bland and dry I couldnt continue eating it. Found 1 pea and 1 carrot in the entire rice. The shrimp were all different sizes. Some were tiny while the biggest were small at best and they did not have a fresh taste. Like they were frozen for too long. Its a shame when the store is right next to a supermarket.The flavor of this dish was so lacking. The sauce tastes like corn syrup with red pepper flakes. The egg roll was mushy. They need to rethink putting the egg roll in the lunch container. It would also help if they specified the egg roll has meat in it. Not a pleasant surprise. Its really sad when the only thing you want to eat is the broccoli. Oh and the lady at the front counter was stingy with the sauces. Seems like this place is trying to cut costs everywhere. Wish I could get my money back since this lunch went directly to the trash. read more

We have also enjoyed Hunan Express for years. It's our first choice for carry out. The food is fresh and tasty. We even choose carry out from Hunan Express over the higher priced sit down Chinese restaurant across town because the food is better here. The vegetables and meats are fresh and tasty. The spicy foods are delicious and the spicy does not over-power the taste of the food. You can order the level of spice that you like, mild or hot. And, they offer brown rice for the healthy conscious. Nottm read more

We moved into this neighborhood 2 months ago and before we got there a client said this was the place to go. They were right, we're basically addicted as we eat there nearly every week when the day is just too long and we're too tired. We normally get sesame chicken and beef Lo neon. It's always super hot and made quickly. read more

food is average Chinese fare. My daughter likes the honey sesame chicken because it is white meat and very sweet. My last experience was aggravating because my printer was not working and I brought their coupon on my smart phone, but they would not honor it. It was a big order and I used to frequent them, but wont make them a big choice from now on. customer service matters , why don't places get that? read more

The food is just OK and a bit over priced. They get good business due to them being the only decent Asian carry out in the area. They have made mistakes with my orders a few times, and delivery driver forgot my soda 1x. I was told my card would be refunded the difference and was not. read more

Where's the meat? Delicious food but could barely find any meat in my combination lomein. Disappointing.

Great prices for what you get, this place is right near my work and I come here often for their lunch specials avg of about 7$. I usually get the general tsos chicken special, comes with friday rice, an egg roll and 2 chicken wings all for 7$. it isnt the best Ive had, but I mean hey for 7$ that can cause a food coma. I cant complain. read more

Hunan Express is my go-to for Chinese carryout. It is conveniently located by the Giant. I probably should begin by saying that I am a picky Chinese food eater. In fact, I usually don't crave Chinese food, but their chicken lo mein may be the best I've had. I even order the Pad Thai here (gasp!) and it's not bad. The staff here is friendly, food is cheap (they usually have coupons in the coupon mailers, and service is quick. I also really like the tea they give you with your carryout. read more

We've gotten carry out from here for years and it's always reliably good, plentiful and a great value. I'm very particular about my Chinese food and have eaten at many "fine" Chinese restaurants. Hunan is simple but very good. I'm surprised about some of the reviews here that say otherwise and wonder they are comparing it to. I highly recommend it and have never been disappointed. read more

We've been buying primarily lunch specials from Hunan Express for many years. I think there may have been a few management changes along the way, but the flavor and quality is great. It is a farther away than another Chinese restaurant, and is worth the drive. We like the value of the lunch specials ($5.75-$6.50) because they come with egg-rolls and wings, but the dinners ($8.75 for poultry dinners) are also a very fair price. The meat is never fatty or grizzly, but rather tender and fresh. They are good with special orders (e.g. brown sauce in moo goo gai pan, etc.) I really like their egg drop soup too, and my husband likes their hot and sours soup. Many a Saturday afternoon at 2:30pm we pick up a few lunch specials and that carries us through the activities or chores of the day :) Also, for parties I sometimes buy a big tray of egg-rolls and spring rolls ($1 each) which they cut in half and place in a metal tray, with the sauces - perfect for a pot luck or holiday party. read more

I ordered the lunch special from here. I was very surprised by the amount of food that came in the box. The food was good but it was not anything special. The service was very quick which was perfect for lunch. Overall it was good. Carry out only no place to sit and eat. read more
