This was my first time ordering from Hunan Manor in Fort Washington, MD. I purchased Gen. Toi chicken, wonton soup, scallion patties, pork fried rice, fried dumplings, and shrimp egg rolls. To my surprise, everything was delicious. The portions were large for the prices. Gen. Toi was well seasoned and slightly crunchy like I like it. It's sauce was genuine. It gets an "E" for excellent! The soup gets an "E" too. They used a chicken stock, not broth. Cooks know the difference and I am a cook. The dumplings were fried well, brown on one side and the pork filling was delicious. The pork fried frice was delicious. The rice was properly cooked with onions, bean sprouts, and fried egg. They made it the original way, no short cuts. The scallion patties were new to me. It was a little greasy and could have used a little seasoning. I heated them in the microwave on a paper towel and seasoned them with a little salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Then it was really good! I will make this restaurant my favorite Asian restaurant for now on because their flavor meets my own read more

A solid workhorse of a Chinese take-out restaurant. We've ordered from Hunan Manor multiple times. While the menu is expansive, many of the dishes are very similar, i.e. they have the same brown sauce as a component. Nonetheless, all the dishes we have tried are good. I'm partial to the wonton soup. I also like the moo-shi pork (though they would be even better if they heated the moo-shi pancakes before putting them in the foil). Orders are always ready for pick-up within 15 minutes. Service is very friendly. I haven't used the online ordering system because it is so easy to just call in my order. read more

My favorite Chinese place in the area. Service is always quick and helpful. Whether it's delivery or pickup they are always friendly! The general Cho's chicken is my favorite thing there! I never get sick of it. It's always fresh and great quality ingredients. Definitely my go to Chinese place when I'm craving Chinese or takeout! read more

Not sure how this Woman stays in business. Placing delivery order, and she is yelling the whole time, has a hard time understanding what we want, then argues about my tip, (that was generous), telling me I needed to give more as it is supposed to be ten percent? I will say that their food has usually been good....but what happened to treating customers with respect. Canceled our order, and never again with these folks. LAST TIME! read more

Local favorite, good portions, always ready when told! Fresh across the board Asian cooking!

Easy. Call it in and pick it up. Order by the numbers if you look it up. Pot stickers, egg rolls, Singapore noodles, beef and broccoli, along with green beans. Mmmm read more

We ordered for home delivery, and the food was delivered in a timely manner as promised. Honestly, it was delicious. HOWEVER - the delivery driver indicated that there was a problem with my credit card and could he please verify the full information? Me, being overly trusting, gave it to him even though I thought it was very weird since I could already see the charge pending on my bank website. Sure enough - not 24 hours later there are 17 fraudulent attempts to use my credit card, all of which were manually entered (no card present). Absolutely unbelievable. Sent a note to the management staff and have heard nothing. read more

We still consider this our go-to because it's in the neighborhood, but quality can be a little hit-and-miss. Some dishes are straightforwardly not good while others are bordering on excellent. As a household of vegetarians, we love that nearly all dishes can be made with tofu instead of meat. My only strong advisory - avoid the crab rangoon if you're expecting the cream cheese and cake crab ones common in most Chinese carryout places. These are super crispy with almost no filling. read more

Hunan Manor - String Bean with Peanuts and Tofu (ordered mild) - exceptional! This will be on regular rotation now. - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This has been our go to place for years. This afternoon was a bit disappointing but, I believe that is due to my forgetting that the General Tso's hadn't ever been that spicy at this location. Not a bad thing, however, the spicy is what I personally crave. I will say, this was our first time ordering online. The owner called me because my address was a 20 min drive away and she wanted to make sure I didn't place an order at the wrong place. I appreciated the care she put into her customers to actually ask that question. That alone would give this place 5 stars every time This afternoon we tried a number of new dishes in preparation for this review: Lobster lo mein: strong seafood scent and flavor. Wasn't terrible, but would fill a seafood craving: 7/10 Spicy Tangy Dumplings Szechuan Style: just dumplings hanging out in chili oil. Never spicy enough, flavor was good though: 8/10 Pork with Garlic Sauce: garlic...bout it. 6/10 Pork Peking Style: the main reason I took pictures, Google made it seem like the crispy skin was a factor. This is absolutely not the case. Flavor was fine, my own expectations got in the way so I'll give it 6/10 read more

The service is great and the workers are all nice BUT I have spent $19 on something I don't even want to eat. The chicken tastes gamey which I can't get past. Maybe not chicken or maybe pasta it's prime? Normally kung pao has some veggies and there was one piece of onion which I ate. The sauce is good and the nuts are good but there's so much chicken that's gross. I have tried many dishes here and they are all hit or miss and not consistent. I love chinese food and I live close by so this disappoints me. The recipes aren't even right. So $19 on a small pint of white rice for dinner. read more

Ordered a kung pao beef lunch platter, and it was $10 wasted. I found about 5 or 6 thin slices of beef in a pound of water-chestnuts with a few peanuts sprinkled in to the super-salty glutinous sauce. Seriously, who eats water-chestnuts? The fried rice was just rice colored brown with soy sauce - no scrambled egg, no peas, no carrots or any other vegetables mixed in like fried rice is supposed to be. They put the cheapest crap in the meal and tried to pass it off as legit. Go to Chin's Kitchen or Shanghai Peking instead. I'm sad we have this low-effort Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood. read more

I recently read somewhere that the best Chinese food restaurants all have 3.5 stars on yelp, which looks to be the case here as of June '24. Having grown up in the area, my family would get Hunan Manor since I was in high school. Now in my 40s and living on the other side of the country, I make it a point to order something whenever I'm back in town. Hunan Manor is really that special. This really is an incredible spot for true east coast Chinese food, the kind New Yorkers claim you can't get anywhere else, and the kind you can't find on the west coast. read more

Been coming here for many years. Service is always friendly and delivery very fast. The food tastes great, too, but once in awhile I'll get a bite that tastes and smells as if it had expired a long time ago. But I like living dangerously, and the rancid bites are an exception. So we still go back. All in all, my fav Chinese food spot in the Hollin Hall area. read more

So, for me, this joint is hit or miss. I've ordered their chicken Sichuan and been quite pleased, only to order it again and find that it was an entirely different dish. In fact, the second time around, it was so loaded with carrots that I could get only manage a few bites before I had to throw it out. There was something strange about the taste this time, almost chemical. I have had better luck with their egg rolls and shrimp tempura, dishes that always seem to have a light and flavorful consistency. It is strange to think that I had never ordered their Sichuan, I'd probably given Hunan Manor a couple extra stars. read more

When I'm in the Hollin Hall neighborhood and I feel the need for Chinese food this is one of my go to places. Excellent egg rolls and every order I've had is tasty. I like their General Tso chicken. Good prices and good food. read more

Hunan Manor - Picking up my order - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Strong local Chinese! We use it for Sunday dinner most weekends. The Soup is strong. It won't knock your socks off but it is quality.

The food is mediocre at best. The worst is the wait. The ordered at 6:27p on Christmas Eve and showed up at 7p to pick up and didn't get our order until after 8p. Don't ask why we waited so long. Put that's outrageous for fast read more

Unfortunately have had a bad experience.Have been going here for years. Ordered a usual and a new one. Spring Rolls were underdone and mushy. Ordered the Seafood Combination Soup for two. 25% was Tofu and struggled to find the seafood. Didn't even get a hello when walked in. and don't know if will go back. What a shame. read more

Super nice people. Good food. Fast. Good price. It's a wonderful neighborhood "GoTo" place.

Hunan Manor is the one Chinese take out place in the area, and it's a guilty pleasure. I have been to the Hunan province and can definitively say that this is not authentic Hunan cuisine, and I don't care. A friend recently told me this place was worse than Panda Express, which is grounds to sue for libel. Hunan Manor has been going strong for the last two decades at least. I wish they still offered coupons in the local paper, but it just shows how their business is thriving. You can call ahead, and pick up within 15 minutes, great to stop and pick up food on the way home. They also have a very low-price lunch special (on a white board to the left when ordering) On to the food, I would describe it as Americanized Chinese food. It has Gen. Tso's Chicken on the menu as a Chef's Special. They know their local audience and cook to the target palate. Dishes that bring out memories from my teens include lo mein (chicken preferentially over beef), beef with broccoli, Sesame Chicken (really just Gen Tso's chicken with sesame seeds on it), Moo Shi Pork, and Kung Pao String Beans as a vegetarian dish, and Spicy Tangy Dumplings Szechuan style as an appetizer. All entrees (except noodles and lo mein) come with a box of steamed rice or plain fried rice, and of course the meal ends with a Fortune Cookie. read more

I come here all the time! And I LOVE the food and fantastic service! They deliver the food timely. The taste is great. And Ms. Jenny always has a welcoming presence and atmosphere! read more

It's in my neighborhood and my go to place. Food is always good and fresh. It's takeout only.

This is my go to for Chinese food. My entire family Ives it and the people there are so nice!

Food was good enough but they are not good with their online ordering system so beware. I ordered delivery online one day. Received the food, it was fine--I liked their general tsos chicken, everything else was fine. The next day I get a call while I'm out from a delivery person trying to deliver the same exact meal I had ordered the day prior. They would not reverse the charge. Tried to do it through the credit card company and it showed back up later. I had no interest in giving a $52 tip on my previous meal, nor was a looking to sponsor an employee's dinner. read more

I love their lo meins a lot, they are awesome! The dumplings however are very doughy so I wouldn't order those again. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because it is very convenient. If it was a longer drive I wouldn't seek this place out. I do go often for the chicken lo mein :) read more

Very consistent quality food. Solid place to go for take out Chinese food. And since Yelp forces me to write more I will say there is plenty of parking too and very nice steps to walk up to the door which has nice handles to open it with. read more

They keep your credit card number on file without asking. I found out only when calling to place an order and they just wanted to confirm the last four numbers of my card. read more

Our go to for Chinese food in our area. Everyone loves it and the ladies are so friendly. They know everyone by name that comes in. If you live in our area and don't go here, you need to change. This is the place. Affordable and tastes great. read more

This isn't a real Chinese resturante at best Korean cooking food is over cooked hard pieces of chicken possibly recycled chicken like on a buffet. I have said to them about the problem and it hasn't changed they smile and say thank you but their sincerity is lacking they really don't care about real food service. read more

I have been a customer of Hunan Manor for almost 20yrs. The owner Irene is absolutely one of the sweetest people I have had the pleasure to meet. When we call in our order or stop in to place an order Irene always remembers us and makes us feel so welcomed. The food is some of the best Chinese you will find in northern Virginia. The quality of the meat and vegetables is second to none. My absolute favorite is the Peking Duck and the General Tso's. I will continue to visit my hometown best Chinese takeout and will recommend anyone to try them. Keep up the good work and loving service. read more

Been going here for years. Very tasty food. friendly service and super fast delivery.

Good price and good food. Very polite and fast. Perfect for a Chinese food craving to take home and enjoy family style.

I ordered the Beef and Broccoli, and the texture for both the meat and rice was all wrong in addition to the flavor being poor. I'm a firm believer in never throwing out food but I had to give up after like 3 bites. I wasn't planning on writing a review but the next day with my credit card, which I haven't used since January, got charged the next day for $420 on eBay. What a strange coincidence! Good luck to those who decide to order here. read more

Food is mediocre at best and customer service is very disappointing. Order elsewhere.

3.5 stars, as it's above average for what it is - for the price, quality of food and service, and speed of delivery this place should be considered a hidden gem. The kitchen and waiting area are clean and well organized. Service is prompt and staff is efficiently friendly. This place is a take out only, but has several chairs for waiting. They have an extensive menu, so if you're looking for something that is Chinese-ish, it's likely here. The breaded chicken dishes (such as sweet and sour) have a medium amount of breading, and the chicken seemed to be all white meat. Most dishes were a little on the small side, but given that each dish and sauce have distinctly flavors compared to most other Chinese take out places, I'll take it. It doesn't all taste sweet, or spicy, or savory - each dish tastes like its own dish. As of 12/2015 minimum take out order is $11, minimum credit card purchase is $8 - FYI. read more

Hunan Manor - Clean interior - Chinese Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Food here is just ok nothing special. It could be but l think they are just trying to keep costs down. Most dishes l've tried have little to no flavor and are just boring. The sesame chicken and gen so chicken is thigh meat and not very good, it has a lot of breading and is fried then soaked in some saice that probably comes right out of a big can. I wish they would up their game just a bit. read more

Shrimp dish, veggie fried rice extra onion, 2 egg rolls. $27 (extra $1 for onions). Expensive, so what. But food is so bland, no flavor. The frozen stuff at Safeway is better and less expensive. read more

Found this location by searching Yelp for a spot meaty my location. I was expecting good quality food after reading the reviews. NOPE!!! Everything was extrra greasy and tasted odd. I didn't even eat a fourth of my food and my teenage son as well. That's saying a lot since teenagers devour food. The chicken taste and texture were like someone cooked it earlier and dropped it back in deep fryer to warm it up. The lo mein and rice both had an odd taste but not the typical Chinese food taste. Based off this experience I wouldn't go back to try anything else. I will save my $30 and go to the one closer to my home. Pro-quick Con-greasy, odd taste, service read more

Definitely a staple in the neighborhood. I've been ordering takeout from human manor since I was a kid. It has your standard selection of American-Chinese takeout food. Miss Irene is such a friendly hard working lady. Even though I live in Fairfax now, I still come here for take out when I'm in Alexandria. read more

I was in Fort Hunt to capture several hundred night flags in the Flagstack game, so I thought I'd get takeout from this one Chinese place I noticed before heading back to the hotel. This place is 100% a takeout joint because there are no dining tables. Considering that this seemed to be an upper-middle class kind of neighborhood, menu prices were quite reasonable. I ordered a kung pao chicken combination. Service and food preparation were pretty fast but they probably don't have too many orders past 9pm. So then I brought the takeout back to the hotel about a half hour away and opened the package. It was quite good. Fried rice was done properly and the kung pao chicken was delicious. read more
