This place is smack in the middle of a well travelled shopping area. There was no wait when I went in to order. The place had a single table and chair then some wait chairs along the wall. The kitchen was fully visible from the lobby. The ambiance was basic and for me screamed only patronage when in a pinch. The food took an average length to be prepared, but came out piping hot. Portion sizes were small in comparison to their equals flavors forgettable & fair quality of protein. Far from the worst but with loads of options I would skip this one unless convenient. read more

We eat at Hunan alot. They have the best and most authentic food in the area. Their Hot & Sour soup is outstanding. Their prices are very reasonable. The combos are a really good value. There are 7 of us so these things matter. Highly recommend. Authentic. Delicious read more

My only complaint about this place is that I'm here on vacation and it is 6 hours from home This spot for me is Chinese takeout goals. First off, I love how the menu offers smaller portions so single folks like me can have a variety of items. My total was less than $20 for what's in the pic. I usually have to spend close to $30 to get a 2 dishes at similar places. My two favorite items, Sweet n Sour chicken and Beef lo mein taste exactly how I want them to. I love that they do the SS sauce on the side. Everything was made fresh while I waited. Staff was kind and helpful. I will absolutely come back to this spot on my next Emerald Coast trip. read more

Hunan Express - Sweet n sour chicken combo small beef lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

Ordered sesame chicken with white rice..Got sesame chicken with broccoli in it, which I hate and my rice came in a different container. Paid almost $14 for this. Not happy at all. When I ordered it u. Past, sesame chicken and rice in same aluminum tray with no broccoli. Will not go back. Believe it was done like this so could scam more money for business with declining customer count read more

Delivery service is quick and efficient, even on a Sunday. Food arrives hot and fresh with all the sauces and hot mustard included. Good value for the price! read more

Food was hot and fresh. Egg rolls are perfectly cooked. Great customer service as well. We ordered take out so unsure of the ambiance. Cream cheese wontons are subpar, more on the chewy side instead of crunchy. Fried rice seemed either a little greasy or maybe cooked with old grease/oil. General Tao's Chicken is a little tangy and not what we are used to. read more

While i have no complaints about my order. Unfortunately the person cooking was sick with a respiratory illness, I watched him sneeze and cough, and then he proceeded to spit out whatever he coughed right next to where the food was being cooked. I told the lady the counter that that was in sanitary and they needed to do something about it the should not be there without wearing a mask, possibly contaminating the food. She told me that she will take care of it by a mask, not sure how true or whether she followed through. read more

Cleanliness - the restaurant where one would sit was filthy with things scattered about. You could barely see through the front door and windows, they were so dirty. The food, however, was good, but if they take no pride in their outside establishment's cleanliness, what must the kitchen look like? read more

Food was ok but the fried food tasted like it had been fried in old oil. The teriyaki chicken as well. Not the worst but would definitely find something better. read more

The two stars is for the cleanliness of the interior. Fried rice wasn't cooked all the way, which made it hard and barely had flavor. Wings were edible however it was questionable. The chicken wings were in a dark refrigerator, in a container but no cover.Yikes. Now for the service, I had two people take my order. The older woman was polite and seemed interested in taking my order but the younger worker was picking at her face in front of me, while she took over to finish taking my order!!! I was completely turned off from this place. And unfortunately my last time ordering from Hunan Express. read more

We ordered to go Horrible experience Food was tasteless and not tasting like what we ordered The general tso chicken had no chicken only breading the curry chicken no curry taste at all DO NOT ORDER read more

Typical Chinese food, nothing fancy, to go only. Had the sweet and sour chicken, more breading then chicken, but that seems to be the norm anymore. read more

Literally the fasted Chinese food ever but always delicious. Maybe the inside isn't beautiful but the employees are always nice and food is always good. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! My fiance and I went and I ordered a Lo Mein and he got some combo fried rice and then a egg drop soup on the side. there's no tables inside just chairs along the walls, Service was okay, we had to wait a while as it was just 2 people working. when we got our food we came home and ate and as i was finishing my food i noticed there was a worm/ maggot in my food, i was instantly disgusted and sick to the stomach idk how many more were in my food and how many i ate, we could not finish our food. I went back to get a refund and she only refunded my plate, I tried asking for a full refund for all the food (it's all cooked in the same kitchen, same stove) but only received it for mine but ill take what i can get i guess, they weren't going to do the full thing. When i said that this was really unsanitary and disgusting and that i was going to be sick all the lady had to say was "they're so small we can't see them when they get in the food" Not coming back here again, i am still disgusted thinking about it, would not recommend to anyone. read more

Hunan Express - worm in my food - Chinese Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

Food is bland and tastes like cheap, frozen meals. Customer service is terrible. The woman who takes orders over the phone is rude and doesn't appreciate her customers. She'll tell you your food will be ready in 10 or 20 minutes, but you can expect to wait double that. Do not go to this restaurant. read more

Here is the real issue with this business. It simply takes too long. Granted the food is good but if your name is freaking Express then at least try for that. Everyone knows that when you call in they say 20 minute but it is always 45 minute. This time after an entire hour they started making the food when I arrived. This has nothing to do with Covid. They have always been this way. Here is an idea. Hire another employee! The mother daughter thing does not work. Such a love hate relationship because the food quality is good. Just sucks when you can't plan dinner. read more

The best Chinese food we have found in the area. It's definitely a take-out place as there are only two tables in the establishment. I had the shrimp lo mein and my mom had the hot and spicy shrimp meal with fried rice and an egg roll. Good food with good prices! read more

Hunan Express - Hot & Spicy Shrimp dinner combo - Chinese Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

We normally get Egg Drop Soup, and Beef Broccoli. Delicious as always fresh, beef tender.

General Tso Chicken was amazing and the cream cheese wontons was not in its usual shape done in triangles but still good.

Honestly I am shocked to see that it isn't rated lower because this is by far the worse Chinese food I've had. I'll give them 2 stars instead of one because the service was pretty good and the general chicken wasn't terrible (definitely not something to brag about). But my sweet and sour chicken was what sealed the deal for me. I definitely wouldn't recommend. read more

Their chicken chow mein is awful would not recommend, it was literally just onions and the smallest slices of unflavored chicken.

So bad I wish I never went. Service was good. Nice girl. But food over all disappointing and doesnt look how anticipated or even match the pictures on the menu. Taste was not appetizing read more

Sadly, in Navarre there is no good Chinese food (or good Chinese food that is not cooked using MSG, which I am very sensitive to), so I drive to Fort Walton Beach to get my Chinese food fix at Hunan Express, which is consistently good, fresh and fast. read more

Ordered for pick up , food was done quickly and served steaming hot ! Not to mention that it was the best Chinese food I've had in the area since the old days!!! Thanks for the great food and service ! Sincerely your new regular customer read more

Definitely nothing special at Hunan Express. The food tastes just like every other cheap Chinese to-to place. I ordered the sesame chicken and an order of fried pork won-tons. The sesame chicken was okay, but kinda soggy and definitely not crispy at all. The won-tons were awful and I actually ended up throwing them away. They were soggy and chewy. They were not busy when I went in, yet the employees were rude and barely acknowledged me other than to shout my total and take my credit card. I even said "thanks" when leaving, to which I received no response. I highly doubt I'd go back there. read more

As far as small-town Fort Walton Beach Chinese takeout goes, you could do worse than Hunan Express. Their fried rice is actual fried rice (many similar places serve yellow/saffron rice as fried rice, which is definitely not fried), they have some unusual menu offerings (fried zucchini and bananas), and they're shockingly attentive to detail and friendly (the lady who greeted me repeatedly checked the order to make sure they weren't forgetting anything, and made small talk while I waited). They also, at the time of this review writing, give a generous amount of sugarcoated fried "donuts" when you order more than $30 worth of food. Overall worth your time to check them out if your usual Chinese takeout options have disappointed you repeatedly. read more

I love this place! The pork fried rice was really good and the general so chicken was crispy and juicy, the girl that took my order was extremely helpful because I didn't know what I wanted she was super nice n helpful! read more

The young lady was pretty and glided through the kitchen with ease. I was so impressed by her cooking style and that of the gentleman next to her. But let me tell you why the food tasted like ess aitch eye tee. When I walked in with a big smile and said Ni Hao Ma, I think that must be Mandarin in Ft. Walton Beach for "Hey Bitch". These people are ignorant in the age of Yelp and qwerty keyboards to serve up bad food AND bad attitude. I was shaking with disappointment with my encounter. read more

It's been so long since I've had real fried rice and chicken wings, a great meal I've enjoyed since childhood, but being Active Duty Military, this is not something readily available at all Chinese restaurants across the nation. I was soooo happy to have been able find this place and it's always fresh, hot, and tastes great!! read more

Great food, especially for the price. Great for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend the general tso. Hard workers and quick service. Usually open on holidays late too. read more

Good food. Authentic Chinese cuisine. They don't deliver but all the food is worth to be picked if you are hungry. I have been coming here for 7 years. I give it a five read more

The best in Fort Walton Beach. Maybe in Florida. I have eaten a lot if Chinese takeout throughout Florida and this is by far my favorite. Sad to admit I am there almost every Sunday. She is always so friendly and works her butt off. read more

Very small place with no air conditioning. Food was fair. Small portions for lunch. I had sweet and sour chicken and there was very little chicken. Service was just okay. The place had two young adults running it with no personality. My bottled Diet Coke was expired-unacceptable! My guess is they probably are missing other things. Hoping we don't get sick! We won't be back! read more

Fast service, food is great. Owner might be the hardest working owner I've ever seen.

This place gets no stars. I will never eat here again. Very dirty, the staff act like they are doing you a favor, and rude. Very small lunch plates. Don' waste you time and money. Tokyo at uptown station is 10 times better. I only added a star because I could not post this review otherwise. read more

This is my favorite Chinese place in town. They are quick with good portion sizes! I usually always get sesame chicken because it is my personal favorite. Chicken is moist with plenty of sauce. The rice is always tender and not overcooked. Plus, the owner is such a hard worker! read more

I have been ordering Chinese food from hear for years. It's not a fancy place and if the weather is nice I notice they will sometimes prop the front door open but some of the reviews I read are just ridiculous! It's mostly a carry out place and it is clean and you can watch everything you order being prepared. If you come at the right time of day you'll see the same person who takes your order and often cooks your food chopping fresh vegetables. The food is about as good as it gets as far as I'm concerned. The girl that runs this place may not be the most outgoing person in the world but as hard as she works and as much as she cares about getting the food prepared the way it should be and the orders right I could care less. She's there every day of the week every week and it's been that way for all the years I've gone there. I do see her crack a smile every now and then and that just makes it actually mean something. Some of these people who made some bad comments just need to get themselves a teddy bear. read more

Decent food at decent prices. They rice was a bit salty last time I went there.

Best Chinese food in the area by far. Some portions are smaller but that leaves room for the best appetizers you have ever had! I love this place. It's unassuming but if you are looking for food and not a restaurant it's the place for you! Order take out and enjoy life!! read more
