This is by far our favorite Chinese restaurant, that my family has ever been to! I am in my 60s, so that says a lot for how many Chinese restaurants that I have been to in my life! Food is excellent! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very well decorated and super clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Staff is very friendly too! Definitely 5 read more

Hunan lion delivered some solid Chinese food. Service was outstanding- prompt, friendly and interactive The soup was dry flavorful but good gosh it was super salty - the sodium almost took over the entire dish - I was thinking about adding some soy sauce so I could taste something besides the salt in the soup but given how high in sodium most soy is, I decided to pass. The orange chicken was a mixed bag - most of it was just the right amount of sauce and breading but there were a few pieces that were over breaded and the sauce was borderline overcooked- but as I said it was only a couple of pieces. The lunch menu was limited so I will return to try another option. Great service, fair pricing and decent food offerings. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I can finally understand the hype about this place, every time I come is usually packed so for my little one, I have opted to do take out instead so I order in advance and we just eat at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every time the food has been hot, fresh and delicious. I wan to keep trying every dish, so far any low mein is amazing, fried rice too. Any protein with vegetables is a good option too. My only pet peeve is with the wonton soup, I feel is a bit salty but not a deal breaker for me, I get to eat the other big plates. read more

Amazing food amazing service!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean, calm, and comfortable environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff are very nice. The food is an amazing price for such big portions and very good! read more

Wife and I are always on the lookout for a good Chinese restaurant. This week we tried Hunan Lyon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very attractive interior well above the standard Chinese restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were promptly seated and given a menu. We selected the two of the lunch specials for $13 each. I ordered pepper steak while the wife ordered chicken with snow peas. Wife had the corn egg soup, which was delicious and very hot. I opted for the wonton soup which arrived cold. I asked them to exchange it for the corn egg soup which they did. The egg rolls were piping hot and delicious. My prepper steak was not as tender as other Chinese restaurants but good. Wife enjoyed her chicken with snow peas. We're still looking for a Chinese restaurant. read more

I had a late weekday lunch with a friend at Hunan Lion. The restaurant is located in a strip shopping center along the southbound I35 service road. There's ample nearby parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entry area and interior of the restaurant are clean and colorfully decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated immediately and beverage orders were taken and delivered promptly. We asked for extra time to look over the menu before ordering. There is a wide assortment, even on the lunch menu. Prices are very reasonable (less than $15) given the quality and amount of food. Included in lunch are choice of soup (corn, hot and sour, egg drop, and wonton), egg roll, fried or steamed rice, and the main course. My friend and I both chose wonton soup and shrimp entrées. The soup was rather salty. The entrées we ordered were very good, with my friend's Kung Pao shrimp on the spicy side. There was no skimping on the amount of shrimp! Our waitperson regularly checked in and refilled our water glasses. There's no doubt that we will return the next time we want Chinese food. read more

Very almost americanized style chinese restaurant. But even your asian parents will be impressed. The food was good and staff was great. The interior is very decorated all the way up to the ceiling. Warning: the menu is all in english read more

Hunan Lion - The ceiling - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Had the General Tso chicken, crab Rangoon, and Chinese donuts. The crab Rangoon were good, the general chicken was ok. It came with fried rice which was average at best. The donuts were pretty plain but had a decent overall taste. Overall place was ok and was average to me. I think seasoning would go a long way here. read more

Hunan Lion was honestly some of the best Chinese food we've ever had. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The soup was comforting and delicious, the egg rolls were crispy with a great filling, the chicken with broccoli was tender with a flavorful sauce, and the sesame chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right balance of sweet and savory. The portions were generous, everything came out hot, and the service was excellent. We'll absolutely be coming back whenever we're craving Chinese food. This is definitely a new favorite! read more

My go to place in round rock. They didn't disappoint again. Got the beef delight at 3 1/2 out of five stores on heat. They nailed it. Got the chicken egg roll too as an appetizer. read more

I will never return to this restaurant. The food is disgusting and the place is dirty, can't imagine what the kitchen looks like. I had the Mongolian Beef and was not happy with the taste and how tough the meat was, very hard to chew. We also got Orange Chicken and the chicken smelled really bad. We returned to Orange Chicken and the owner refused to remove from our bill, said she would give credit for next visit - told her there will be no next visit and she lost it and started screaming at us, at this point I paid the bill and left. Will tell everyone I know in Round Rock to avoid this place like the plaque. read more

Stopped by here to get some lunch before going to Inner Space Cavern with my family. We arrived around 11:15 AM and there were already a handful of tables seated. Service: Our waitress was kind and came by often despite having several other tables flocking in around the same time. Food: We ordered the fried gyozas, basil beef, and sweet and sour chicken. Overall, the food was okay! I liked the basil beef more than the sweet and sour chicken. The sweet and sour chicken were fried separately and wasn't coated with the sweet and sour sauce (that came separately in a bowl). I didn't care for the dish at all. The chicken felt dry even with us coating the chicken with the sweet and sour sauce. Ambiance: The restaurant was very clean and decorated very ornately at the entrance. read more

My partner recently ate here and has been talking about it for the past few weeks. On his recommendation, we visited last night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior décor is delightful. Very cozy though I do think I'm going to hold out for a booth next time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pollen has been doing a number on me so I stuck with the chicken and vegetable soup - it's definitely going on my winter soup list. And steamed dumplings. I cannot pass up steamed dumplings. But the best part was the service - Elise was an A+ server - from food suggestions, speedy delivery, filled tea glasses, and witty repertoire. It was an enjoyable experience - we will be back! read more

This is my mom's favorite Chinese food in the area. I love it too. Some of our favorite dishes are beef and snow peas and shrimp and snow peas. Last time I went my mom recommend I try Thai Basil beef because I love basil. It is listed as spicy on the menu, which I don't do well with. I asked the waitress if it could be made not spicy and she said they could. Let's just say that I have now added thai Basil beef to my favorites list. Highly recommend. read more

Tried this place based on a recommendation. Ambiance is great , loved the paintings and the decor(missed to take more pics) . Impressive service here. Marie was very friendly and always taking requests with a smile. Even though she was the only one serving the entire section, she was patient and ensuring by checking frequently if we needed anything . Food is great and portion sizes are huge. Szechuan meal was not at all spicy(unexpectedly), but all the items were delicious. Service time was quick for the appetizers but meal itself took more than 20 mins to arrive. As another review stated already , it's not fast food and it took its own sweet time to arrive - but felt really hot and fresh ! read more

Hunan Lion - Inside - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

This place is just one business out of many businesses in this large strip center. We decided to come here because they have a really great affordable lunch special. It doesn't say so on the menu, but they do offer some mediocre wine choices along with a few bottled beer selections. The wine is called Canyon Ridge which is along the same line as Sutter Home. Shiner and Tsing Tao beer is as good as it gets. In other words, their alcohol permit is definitely under utilized here, thus steering us to water. However, We really came for the food. We began with a couple of bowls of their soup, which is the start of their lunch special. The main course comes with an eggroll and the portions are reasonable in size. Be sure to request some sweet-and-sour sauce and spicy mustard. This was your typical American style Chinese food, but it was exceptional for the style. The Service was very friendly and attentive. If you pay by credit card, you'll be facing the iPad. Definitely a great budget lunch spot that I would return to. Check out the 10 photos included for more information. read more

Everything was AMAZING. The Chinese donuts were literally the best thing ever, and the egg drop soup was so good. Also shoutout to our waitress Marie -- she was super kind and had amazing customer service. Definitely coming back. read more

Hunan Lion is consistently excellent. We typically get takeout. One thing, I am a soup girl. Any soup person knows the options are limited when you really need a good soup. I LOVE pho, but sometimes I need something different. Their Chicken and vegetable soup is perfect. The broth is legit. Add a little rice if you want to beef it up. I was sick with the flu and ordered 3 orders of it and it heated it up as I needed. It is so comforting and delicious. Thank you Hunan Lion for getting me through a terrible flu! read more

Hunan Lion has been a RR staple for decades. I have only eaten inside once despite ordering take out dozens of times. The menu is extensive, enormous portions which are always hot and fresh tasting. They are expert at never forgetting anything, despite the steady flow of take out orders. You cannot beat the quality and affordability. I am so happy to continue to be a patron of a consistently stellar local establishment. read more

Portions are out of sight! Can't beat the price per volume, essentially a 2 for 1 meal. Food was excellent!

This restaurant has become a monthly staple for us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior décor is delightful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the service is amazing. We have had Elise the past two visits. She's an A+ server - from food suggestions, speedy delivery, filled tea glasses, and witty repartee.

Cute restaurant in a strip mall, quick service and the food was surprisingly good! The hot and sour soup had a little too much black pepper for me but nevertheless I ate it all. I modified my kung pao chicken to no peanuts and only celery and it was a huge portion and delicious! Most places now seem to sugar dump but this sauce was very good and full of flavor. I will definitely be back! read more

One of the better Chinese restaurants in Round Rock. Decent prices and gets the food out fast.

Food was good! Most authentic Chinese I've had in a while. Skip the egg rolls and get the crab meat rangoons instead. Not because the egg rolls aren't good, they're just really small. Will return! read more

We finally found really good Chinese food!! Since moving here from NYC, we've struggled to find a good spot, and this is it! We absolutely loved the attentiveness and friendliness, of the staff. They provided excellent service from start to end. Was even welcomed personally by one of veterans of this restaurant of over 30+ years. The environment and design of the restaurant was very pleasant and warm, very welcoming and clean. The food was cooked fresh and was very tasty. We ordered Sesame chicken, shrimp in lobster sauce, and chicken with broccoli and a side of large fried rice, and two chicken egg rolls. The chicken egg rolls were a delight and make a great appetizer to get you ready for your entree. They served the egg rolls with their sweet and sour sauce, which was alright, but I would've preferred to pair the egg rolls with duck sauce. The sesame chicken was rich in flavor and quality(our whole table loved it!) the shrimp in lobster sauce was not very saucy, but the flavor was on point, and they are not cheap with the shrimp. It was a good portion. Their chicken with broccoli was good, but not better than their sesame chicken. We still took it to go and will definitely have it for lunch tomorrow. This place left a wonderful impression on our family. Can't wait to return. It was my turn to pick a spot for dinner, and my wife didn't want to travel too far, but I had faith in this place, and thankfully, it scored me a few extra points with the wife. Was so excited to dine here, that I forgot to take pictures but I'll definitely take some pictures next time around. read more

I ordered takeout today. It had been years since I had eaten at this location. This food was not good. The wonton soup was so very salty. The beef, chicken and shrimp were cooked well in the fried rice but it was extremely salty. The eggrolls were soggy. It was as if they were rolled in a corn meal before frying. The sesame chicken was okay. It certainly isn't the best I have had. I was really disappointed since this place had been one of my favorites when they first opened years ago. read more

The sesame chicken was not using fresh meat, the Crab Rangoon was overcooked and not filled as much as other places. The combination lo mein was very good but it barely had any shrimp in it. I cannot recommend this place read more
