Hunan Manor just had their soft re-opening with new chefs and their new dim sum brunch service might just be my new go-to spot in the area! You can immediately taste the difference - everything is freshly made and flavorful. My favorite dim sum dish is the shrimp rice noodle rolls and these were a standout here -- the noodles were thin but still soft, with a smooth texture that wasn't sticky or gummy. My next favorite is the pineapple custard bun and these were yummy -- the top had that nice, thick, crunchy crust you want (like a cookie) with a rich custard inside! They also had bubble tea and fruit teas, which are a nice and refreshing addition to dim sum! They have ample free parking and their entryway lives up to its name - really transports you to an ancient Chinese manor! The space is also large and open, with many different sections - would be great for hosting events, family gatherings, or big group meals while still having some privacy. Service was warm and attentive even during their soft opening, and the whole experience feels like a big step up for Hunan Manor. The owners also stopped by to check in to get feedback. If you're a dim sum lover or curious about the revamped menu, this is definitely worth a visit - Columbia finally has a standout dim sum brunch and Chinese spot! read more

Overall: 3 stars at best. Too pricey compared to similar restaurants. Ambiance: 2 stars. Very nice, but one waitress yelling orders across the floor cheapened the place. Service: 2 stars. The place appeared short of staff. Food: 3 stars. Well prepared, but slow to come out. Bathrooms: 5 stars. Very clean. Parking: 5 stars. Easy parking and plenty of it. read more

The worst food I have ever had . We had a pick up order for dinner and I called to explain the problem and issue and the lady hangs up On my face on the food. We do carry out all the time from different Chinese locations and we wanted to see what everybwas talking about this amazing Chinese restaurant in the area. We order orange chicken and General Tao chicken. Got home and found a piece of hair and the sauce to chickens the worst we have ever had. There is no flavor and dry food . I called to talk to someone about it and the lady yelled at me and told me out of respect I needed to bring the food back so they can look at it. I explain to her kindly that I will be out of town for the next four days and that I couldn't do that and she said that there was no choice. I told her that is right to have to try something 5 days old And then them warming it up . That really isn't healthy and is probably something health department wouldn't want you do . In the process of talking to her she hang up the phone on my face and a guy answer the phone . He said I hang up on her . I explain to him that sir if I hang up her why am I the one call her back. She came on the phone and started yelling at me again and I said I will be reporting you guys . Very disrespect people are working here and no wonder why no one was in the building ..... this place makes me sick and wouldnt recommend people here. read more

Once you get past the kitsch that fills Hunan's entry and bar area, you're greeted by the lovely aroma of ginger, spice and teriyaki. The cuisine is the "classic" American take on Chinese food, e.g. sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, spicy cucumbers, etc. The service is a bit slow, but the freshness and quality of the food makes the wait worth while. Cheers! read more

My dining experience with Hunan Manor Restaurant is for takeout out only; I never had the opportunity to dine in at the restaurant. The food is consistently good every time I ordered. Last time I ordered shrimp fried rice and it was delicious. The portions are pretty large. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you are craving Chinese food. read more

While the food and service is not bad, please be aware of a disturbing charging phenomenon. The bill at bottom lists 3 optional tip percentages, which is not all that new, but what is astounding, the bill included a tip amount I the customer did not select. In short, the restaurant included a tip charge in the bill, some $25.00. How a tip, traditionally something the customer voluntarily pays based on how well the customer assesses the restaurant's pleasantness, suddenly becomes a charge is a fantastic affront to me the customer. We won't be going back to Hunan Manor in Columbia, Maryland again. ​​ read more

Hunan Manor Restaurant - Special menu! - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

The actual worst Chinese food I've ever had. Ordered wonton soup, beef and broccoli chow fun and chicken Lo mein. The soup was warm water with a few drops of soy sauce and two thick flavorless wontons. The beef and broccoli chow fun was covered in a snot like brown sauce. The noodles were clumped, gooey and completely over cooked. The chow mein was uneventful and again, the noodles were overcooked. The service: like we were inconveniencing a family member. Overall, this is the last place I'd ever want to come again. A complete waste of money. I wish they would have just told us they were closing early. The upside: We went to Taco Bell on the way home. They were lovely. read more

I ordered Moo Shu Chicken and House Lo Mein. The House Lo Mein was bland and tasteless. The Moo Shu Chicken was dry and had an unpleasant flavor. Overall, I was very disappointed.

1.16.24 Came in for lunch today as hubby had a hankering for hot wonton soup during this cold and snowy day. Unfortunately instead of hot, he got cold wonton soup and tea. Not to mention the restaurant and restroom was freezing cold. They must have wanted to cut down on the electric bill. My husband also ordered egg rolls and said that was the highlight for him. I ordered the shredded beef off the lunch menu, but instead of Szechuan style, got it in brown sauce. The beef was not tender and a bit chewy. I would have preferred more sauce on it. My lunch came with a spring roll and white rice, which were good. Although there are awards that adorn the walls, there are not any in recent years. IMO, the quality has gone down. There are better options in the area. read more

Because I got the food via Uber Eats, I'm giving a 3 to be charitable; otherwise, it would be a 2. For the price, Hunan Manor is not worth it. The chicken was overcooked, dry, and the sauce was thin and didn't taste great. That being said, the egg fried rice was solid. I've had their food before, and it was better. Maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen. read more

This is probably the best Chinese restaurant to go to if your family is vegetarian. The portion sizes are huge, they have both tofu and mock meat dishes and will modify dishes like Singapore noodles to be vegan if you request. I especially love their sweet potato leaf with garlic dish, which is not something you can find at just any Chinese restaurant. read more

Not very good . Food way overcooked and no flavor at all. When we get Chinese food from our local places, we demolish it so quickly , this one we are having a hard time even trying to get through it. For the price , it is not worth it . General tso was better than orange chicken , but not much. Would not return read more

Very sorry to see the decline of this once excellent restaurant. Twenty years ago, Hunan Manor was the best Chinese restaurant in Howard County. Something has changed (ownership/ management??). Today it's no longer the Hunan Manor that won so many awards. The menu has changed, and the style of the cooking is different too. I've noticed this over several visits over the past months. Today had Kung Pow Chicken, and it was so sugary sweet, coated with soggy sauce as to be inedible. Service while pleasant was haphazard (never asked if I needed a refill, how food was etc, slow to provide the bill). Sorry to say that I probably will not return. Time to find a new Chinese restaurant. read more

I Always enjoy coming here with my colleagues. The food is fresh and vegan options abound. You have the choice of traditional Chinese food & the Americanized Chinese. The hosts are always pleasant and the portions are generous. The setup is a mix of booths and tables. The restaurant can accommodate larger groups and does allow for family style sharing (rotating tables available). The hostess was able to let us know the time frame for our entrees being served today and that helped with the wait time. I've never had takeout so I can't speak to any of the service there. One of my favorite spots in Columbia. read more

Don't waste your time! Panda Express is better than this place. Staff had terrible customer service. No bartender at the bar that had 20+ people in it. Had to keep waiting for a waiter to come and fumble his way through making cocktails. Not worth your time. read more

Great service and great food. I thoroughly enjoyed having my meal served "family style".

Service was lackluster at best. Long delays for food and the bill. Food was ok but not great. Seemed like regulars got better attention.

Hunan went from the best of Howard County to the worst. Every time we order a recipe was changed in some way and the food quality is mediocre at best. You order your favorite dish and never know exactly what you will get. Take out is usually just luke warm when we drive the one minute home from the restaurant. The food is now inedible and as convenient as it is, it's time to find a new Chinese restaurant. read more

our normal go-to Chinese food spot; I ahve my favorite dishes-love the high quality ingredients, more than just breading or side ingredients, but always packed with fresh hearty portions of protein, well balanced sauces & toppings- large- usually multiple meals for me! we are slowly trying to run through menu variety- this visit we ordered our favorite crispy spicy eggplant & tried the sausage, shrimp, pickled fried rice- again hearty delicious fresh portions the sausage shrimp pickled rice was delectable seasoned with well balanced ingredients- packed with chunks of sausage & shrimp among the fluffy rice with large chunks of fried egg- would order again fluffy rice, big chunks of protein, well cooked, well sauced friendly to-go quick service read more

Mistakes happen, and everything else was above serviceable, so I left this at a 4, but it's more a 3.5 based on my experience... Food was good, but nothing to write home about or travel for... what I mean by that, I've been to some Asian restaurants where the food is so fresh and balanced that you'll drive across town...this isn't that, but if I lived in the area it would be "go to" because I believe the food would generally be consistently good. (The amount of takeout traffic lightly confirms this ) The service was good as well, I could tell the waiter was a bit overwhelmed with the holiday traffic, but he handled it pretty well... though my order initially came out incorrect (the pork piece in my pics), he quickly provided me with fresh rice to make sure everything was warm. I would have loved more insight on the adjustments or changes for things to be gluten free...but since my first question got an unsure answer, I went with a meal where I didn't have questions. I appreciate that the restaurant is large, but segmented so it feels smaller and you don't feel lost in a sea of diners. I imagine a seating upgrade is to come in the next few years, but beyond that, there's plenty of room for any size party you could bring. read more

This is a very strange Chinese restaurant. While they have many items that cater to Americans, they also had pretty good dishes that are authentic. 4 stars for the Peking duck, shrimp toast, and hot & sour soup. The duck skin was crispy, and the meat was not overcooked. The shrimp toast was tasty even without sauce, and the hot & sour soup was pretty sour (just how I like it). 3 stars for the crispy eggplant. Didn't care too much for the eggplant part but the way it was cooked and the seasoning on it was pretty delicious. 2 stars for the egg foo young and seafood pan fried noodles. They use a thick noodle for their pan fried noodles, totally messes up the texture and taste. I already knew the egg foo young wasn't for me... but someone else at our table wanted me to try it. The egg part is very thick, and it is covered in gravy. This seems like an American Chinese dish. Our waiter was excellent and the food was prepared very quickly. read more

This place is a cornerstone of Columbia but based on some recent reviews, they may have crumbled over the past few years. After not going here for a decade,to decided to try it again because you just can't find decent Chinese food around here. The spicy tangy wontons are amazing. My husband loved his Shrimp Hunan Style. I selected the Double Cooked Pork and the carryout version was nearly enough for three meals and very tasty. Since we have moved to Elkridge, Hunan Manor is out of our way but I'll be making a point to go there again soon in the near future. read more

Owners changed and after three more tries, I've given up and will never return. I'm sad that this place won't last. 1. Food was terrible: their famous supreme crispy egg plant is now soggy average eggplant. It's over battered and felt like I was eating a microwaved old deep fried eggplant. Everything we ordered just tasted like overpriced Panda Express. 2. Service is MIA: good luck getting any service here.. what happened to this place? It's understaffed and I have to beg for water In conclusion, I'm sad to say I'm never returning. read more

I ordered tonight because I was staying in for the Holiday. I ordered something I haven't had a THIS place and I was totally underwhelmed and never experienced shrimp with lobster sauce like this before. The lobster sauce in other places is thicker and has pieces of meat swimming in with the jumbo shrimp. This was more like a soup than anything else. If I had known that I wouldn't have ordered. The fried rice seemed off as well and I was hungry. Think I will go somewhere else next time and try for an overwhelming experience. read more

I made an online order and the wait was 80 minutes. I received a text saying my order was ready after 80 minutes so I drive to the restaurant to pick it up. Then I wait in a long line to talk to anyone and when I get to the front, I tell them I got a text saying my online order is ready and they didn't seem to know anything about my order and said it will be another 45 minutes.

I used to love Ding How in Fells Point but, since they closed I've been looking for an equally great Chinese Restaurant. No luck for quite a while, then during Covid we ordered from Hunan Manor and my quest was almost at an end. The food was great, priced incredibly fair and the portions were huge. I just needed to dine in to experience the place fully. So we did and the ambience was perfect it has that 80's vibe. The only disappointment was the huge fish tank is not being used.That being said everything else was fantastic, the wait staff was friendly the service was excellent the time from ordering to receiving hot delicious food was fast. This is my new go-to Chinese restaurant. I highly recommend this place for an unequaled dining experience. read more

It's always a feast whenever we come here. Love the variety of dishes they have and the quick service! Everything has come out tasty and cooked to perfection but we especially enjoy the whole cooked fish and the fried rice with dried fish. Their sesame and orange chicken also use white meat which is nice and not too sweet overall. Veggies are always cooked just right, still green, and a hefty portion. Their servers are very attentive even on their super busy nights. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more
