As i explore more of Austin, I needed some Chinese food in my life and found this place. I am fan of Kung-Pao chicken and its my goto meal when I'm cutting. This place did not disappoint, the dish was big, flavorful, and most important of all spicy. I need some spice in my Kung-Pao, that's why you order it, right? My wife also got the shrimp fried rice and it was overflowing with shrimp, which is always a good time. This place is great and very well priced, we will be back! read more

Hunan Ranch - Shrimp fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Been coming here for year, to be honest you are better off hitting Panda Express, same options and cost less. I want it to be good, it just isn't. Food is bland and boring, staff is ok and the place just feels and is dated. read more

Solid Chinese restaurant. Great atmosphere and speedy service. This has been our go-to takeout spots. Rock solid general Tso.

Excellent food and service! Also very quick - highly recommend their food. They also deliver

I haven't been here in awhile. Sorry for the long time away...this is one of the better places I've experienced for Chinese food in CP/L ! THE FOOD IS GREAT DINE IN OR CARRY OUT. The wings are superb ! read more

My first delivery during quarantine! I was missing chicken and broccoli!! The lunch is amazing for the price and the size is perfect for two meals. The chicken breast is always so fresh and delicious. Fresh Veg! They always accommodate my "crazy" like sweet and sour chicken, not fried or battered, just white chicken breast in the sauce and extra veg with no rice. The delivery was less than 30 mins during this crazy COVID times. Thank you Hunan!! SOOOOOOO Yummy! I had the Moo Shoo Chicken today with no pancakes :-) read more

Always consistent! We have been going here, mostly ordering take out, since we have lived in Avery Ranch (~16 years). Our favories are the shrimp or chicken fried rice, crab rangoons, chicken terriyaki, Buddha's delight (vegetables), and sweet and sour chicken. To spice it up, I ask for the chili oil. They also include egg rolls with their entrees! read more

Awesome food at a decent price, I've been coming here for 10 + years and have never been disappointed!

Ordered pick up and was right smack on time. My to go bag was sitting on a table in the breezeway which seemed safe enough. Ordered on line with little effort, so that's good. Lots of dishes on the menu!!! I picked moo goo gai pan lunch. Even tho MGGP is generally in a white sauce, this one was in a brown sauce. But It stated it in the menu, so there wasn't a surprise. Sadly, the dish just lacked flavor. I added soy sauce, but still it was bland. The rice was nicely sticky, tho. I will try them again tho, but I wont order this again. Egg roll was tasty with a spicy kick. read more

I'm far from being an expert on Chinese food, but I've always enjoyed my meal when I eat here. The staff here is always helpful and courteous as well. read more

I do NOT like bean sprouts in my hot n sour soup. Please leave the bean sprouts out of the soup in the future. read more

Hunan Ranch - pork w/ garlic - tastes a lot like hot & sour soup. lots of water chestnuts & bamboo shoots - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I stopped by here for lunch b/c I always go to Summermoon to get out of the house. I'm not too impressed. They have the typical lunch specials. I got their Kung Pao chicken. It's was ok. It didn't have that much Pao to it (not very spicy). I got the wonton soup b/c I like to see if there's a place that make it well, now i know that it's never going to be good with a lunch special, the filling is tiny and the wrapper is huge. You're really just eating the wrapper at that point. The broth was okay, nothing significant. The eggroll is actually not that bad. With the sweet and sour sauce, it was pretty good, nice and crispy. All in all, I probably won't be back. There's so many other chinese places to try out. I'm glad I gave it a try so I don't have to wonder about it. If there's a dish that's to-die-for here, please let me know! I'm open to giving it another chance. read more

The menu on Uber Eats does not have descriptions with detail. I had Neptune delight which was not good. The flavor of the mystery brown sauce was almost inedible. the shrimp wraps was the best part of the meal. The shrimp fried rice had large shrimp unfortunately the actual shrimp had an odd flavor which ended up in the trash. read more

We come here often for a tasty and inexpensive lunch. Great service. Friendly wait staff. Try them. You won't be disappointed.

Just visited Hunan Ranch for the first time & couldn't have been more pleased with the service & especially our meal. The Beef with Broccoli, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Fried Rice & Beef Lo Mein were out of this world! Best Chinese dinner we've had in a while! One word of advice though...unless you plan on taking leftovers home or are big eaters, you might want to consider sharing a plate of the main course & a plate of Lo Mein! They give you a big serving...enough for light eaters to share! We will be back again. read more

Arguably the best Chinese food in the area! Always super consistent and the staff is always super friendly and hard working. I love the beef and broccoli with their Hunan Sauce for a little extra spice. No wait time and the food comes out fresh and quickly. Must try if you haven't been here! read more

Love hunan ranch. Some of the best Chinese food in the NW Austin area. The sesame tofu is awesome, soup is great, lo mein and general Tsos is also a regular favorite. Food quality is always consistent, prices are good, big portions, and staff is always great. read more

Love this place! It's our new go-to to-go restaurant. General Tso's chicken, Sichuan fish, pan fried dumplings and egg rolls are all so delicious. Big portions and quick delivery. read more

Disaster meal at Christmas. Ordered at 3pm and asked it to be ready at 7pm. As of this typing, it is 8:15pm and it is still not ready. I asked how they could not have called me to let me know they were so disastrously behind, they just said they are sorry and are very busy. (Incidentally, it is not that busy in here.) Avoid, especially at a special occasion. read more

Very standard Chinese fare, maybe even slightly below average. The won ton soup was flavorless, the low mein was equally as bland, and the egg rolls could have been from the frozen food aisle. Based on the food this place should get 2 stars on quality but this restaurant lost an additional star for charging for crispy noodles with the wonton soup. Seriously? I have NEVER had a restaurant charge me for crispy noodle strips to sprinkle on soup. Very petty. Someone else wrote that you are better off heading to Panda Express....I totally agree. Better food and free crispies for your soup! read more

Some friends mentioned how much they liked this place, and we looked them up on Yelp and realized we'd been there and liked it...and for some reason they'd fallen off our radar, they're back on our radar now and after today's refresher visit...they should stay there. My lovely wife and I shared 2 appetizers, an entrée and a couple bowls of wonton soup...all of it was excellent. The wonton soup had tasty broth and good large wontons....kind of al dente wontons which is way better than soggy. The General Tso's chicken came with sauted onions, bell peppers, and broccoli, excellent Tso's. The crab Rangoon was top notch and the hunan ranch wings had good taste and crunch, the only thing that could be improved...larger glasses of tea, and maybe a lunch menu on weekends, the service was as good as the food. read more

Everything was great even during COVID. I placed my order on yelp. Got 5 different meals, they were all very delicious. Portions were perfect it was all worth the money. They only offer to go right now possibly also delivery. Definitely going to keep supporting. read more

Had lunch for the first time here with co-workers. It was a disappointment. The food was not good at all. The rice was old. The chicken was too. I will say the staff is great, but we will not be going back. read more

I was craving Chinese food after work so I stopped by to get take-out but I wasn't necessarily blown away by how good their food was. I got lo-mein and a few other meat entrees (it was $40 for 2 meat entrees and lo-mein so not too bad, but I don't think I'd come back.) The staff was very nice even though they were busy. read more

Simply put, great Chinese food in good portions and in a nice location. There are not many things that you can do in strip centers surrounded by a landscape of parking lot, and odd shops; but here, they give you a good place to have great food in a very comfortable atmosphere. I live in the area, and it is very convienent to just place an order and have it ready upon arrival. They recently added the Sushi Bar.. and it completely makes me want to come back for more when I have time to actually sit down (lol). The last time I ordered the Buddha's Delight (requested it Spicy) with steamed rice. It is an all vegetable dish and they added some Tofu. Odd as it seems my body was craving the veggies..and no meat; well it was thoroughly pleased, and I was filled. Hunan Ranch is great little place to get really tasty food that will fill you up with quantity and quality in the flavor. read more

In love with this place.Discovered it one day while out house shopping. We are now regulars and we haven't even moved into the area yet!..lol My first time in.I no sooner had walked into the door and the man at the front I presume to be the Owner started joking with us..love people who like to have fun!! The food always fresh..never like itt has been kept warm in the kitchen. Warning..large portions...chicken fried rice amazing..suggestion, order one lunch with 2 plates. Enjoy! read more

After reading both positive and negative reviews, I join the negatives sadly... I understand the hard work it is to run a business, and that everything depends on references or reviews--hence I hope this review sparks changes for the better. --- As others have said, you're better off with Panda Express than what this place offers. We ordered on a Friday afternoon to be delivered 3 miles away from this restaurant's location, since phone call placed to delivery it took them an hour and 48 minutes, almost 2 hours. The food was warm, that was a plus. Appetizers: We ordered the egg rolls (these looked like the frozen ones you get at HEB, truly horrendous compared to Panda Express). We also ordered the dumplings. I've never seen something like it I don't know what the sauce was, smelled weird, the dumplings had no filling. Main dish: We got the Teriyaki Chicken and Sesame Beef. Teriyaki Chicken was 2/10. The only thing that made it eatable was the sesame seeds they put on there. Sesame Beef was 1/10, even worse, the beef wasn't beef? The consistency felt like the pork rinds when you let them sit in sauce, very mushy, didn't taste or felt like beef at all. The sauces for both the teriyaki and sesame beef need fixing, I can't believe the only good thing were the sesame seeds. I don't think I agree adding the fried rice is an additional dollar considering their prices. The fried rice was a mix, the fried rice in one of the food pails was very good and the other one was tasteless. Maybe I'll order again next year to see if anything changed. read more

I've ordered a few times from this place, it's always fresh and on time. I order take out from them every week the same combination fried rice , I love it! read more

They serve big portion, but not authentic Chinese food, more like American Chinese food. Not spicy either, you have to ask more spices. As a Chinese restaurant, it's pretty clean and well decorated. They have big pictures of Chinese views on the wall. And all tables have granite surface. You don't see that in other Chinese restaurants. All waitress are Chinese, and I talked to them too. I asked my waitress which dish is like Asia Market because I love Asia Market food. The answer is none of them. Sad. Like other Chinese restaurant, they put live fishes tank in front. But in China, those fishes are for cooking. You pick the fish you want, and they catch it from the tank, then send it to kitchen. So you will have fresh seafood dish. Not in US. Food are OK, I think Americans probably will like it and also I couldn't finish one dish because the portion is so big. They are all around $8-$10. read more

Another new adventure......a hankering for Chinese food in our area and decided to try somewhere different. It was 7:00pm on a Friday evening and no diners indoors, all call in orders. Wait staff were very nice and attentive. Apologies ahead for no pics, I forgot my phone ugh. We had the crab rangoon (4), egg rolls, mushu pork, husband had the sweet and sour pork, wonton soup and I had the stir fried combo noodles. The rangoons were basic, the egg rolls had glass noodles and vegetables and if there was meat, it was sparse but tasty. The portions for the sweet and sour pork were very generous but not my thing, the vegetables with it were close to raw, barely cooked, I like al dente, but they seemed chopped and garnished in the dish. The mushu pork was tender and tasty, the pancakes were not warm so it was cracking when filled and rolled. The stir fried noodles had a good flavor however I wasn't thrilled with the noodles absorbing the sauce then giving a spongy texture rather than a crispy texture. It may have been better with a finer noodle, the thickness was like an udon noodle. All in all, the food was better than others in the cedar park/Leander eateries, I'm still searching for my go to for Chinese. read more

So in our exploration of Austin, I wanted some Chinese food. This was the closest place nearby us & with pretty good ratings. I've gone here twice & had the pan fried noodles & shrimp fried rice in both occasions. Both were excellent, flavorful, fresh & clean with the tastiness. Shrimp was in abundance & I am totes ecstatic that the protein portion overwhelms the carbohydrate. You can eat clean here, but I'm telling you, you won't want to. read more

I live in the neighborhood and had my daughter order some food for her Birthday as she wanted Chinese Take Out. When I got there I left my phone in the car and gave her my daughters name to pickup the order. Come to find out they didn't even get her name so I grabbed my phone to get my daughters number. When the gave me the food and bill there was a gratuity added to the bill????? A tip is something you leave if you feel you have had great service. Gratuity is something you add to make sure that the amount of service gets paid for. If you want more money for your food you charge more. If you want a tip or gratuity at least ask for your customers name. This is an outright scam charging gratuity for take out. BUYER BEWARE. read more

Got Eggplant Garlic, Tofu dish, a chicken Kung Pao, Mongolian beef, via Yelp delivery. Delivery was great, the restaurant took instructions and didn't put meat in the dishes I wanted without meat (vegetarian). Food was kind of bland and lacked level seasoning I like. Portions were large, and ingredients seemed fresh. Food was edible, but not crave-able. read more

Granted I dine here very often although I am searching to find something a little bit better in price and quality. Food is pretty good but it's overpriced for what you get. But then there is the ugly elephant in the room. Did you know that if you request fried rice with your meal it's $1.00 extra!!!!! Seriously?!?!?!?! They don't tell you that. I recently called in a to go order and that charge for fried rice was clearly printed online however it's not clear when you dine in. How ridiculous! I would have given you 4 stars but that little charge for fried rice dropped you to 3 stars. Did some research and other Chinese establishments in your price range...do not charge it. That's greedy! Well once I locate something better in the area (which will not take long)...once that day comes...See Ya and losing a valued customer apparently is something you do not worry about. read more

They have lots of beers on the menu, and started with the lettuce wrap. Not as good as some other places, but good enough. Ordered the Neptune Delight lunch special. It was good, and good portions for the price. A little salty, but maybe fine for others. The soup that comes with it was really big portion. Overall, a good lunch spot. read more

Our favorite dishes here are the pork with garlic sauce and shrimp fried rice. Tell them to leave out the peas and carrots, and the fried rice will be perfect. It's the only Chinese restaurant that uses bean sprouts in their fried rice which is so good...tons of smoky wok-seared flavor that's nearly impossible to replicate at home. Some of their beef dishes have beef cut into strips that are tough and chewy, so we avoid those. Moo goo gai pan and chicken with snow peas taste almost identical with same bland white sauce. In fact, the chicken dishes have hardly any white sauce, so both tend to be dry and flavorless. It's nice that they give you free egg rolls for takeouts, but I wish they'd use cabbage and pork in their fillings instead of mung bean noodles. read more

Ordered chicken fried rice, cream cheese wontons, shrimp and broccoli beef. Our family enjoyed the food. After reading the reviews, I hesitated at first but ordered anyway. It didn't disappoint our family dinner. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. It's always fresh and hot whether eating there or having it delivered.

We did take out a few weeks ago. The food was ready in time, and hot! Everything was tasty. We got pan fried noodles, beef fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and sesame chicken. read more

I just had the most horrible experience from start to finish at Hunan Ranch. Our waiter was absolutely the rudest waitperson I have ever had. He started to take our food order before we had been asked for our drink order. He walked off without a word when we asked for drinks while we were still giving him the rest of our order. When he came back to take our food order, I had barely spoken my order when "Edward" yanked the still open menu from my hand, dragging it across the table and flicking water in my face in the process as he rushed off. I would have left right then, but my friend had really wanted to come here. We got our crab rangoons which were surprisingly good, but my Hunan beef was inedible. The sauce was supposed to be spicy, but it was flavorless and the beef was gray. I couldn't eat it, and when I told the waiter it wasn't good, he ignored my comment and walked off. As I write this, I am still astonished by his rudeness. Never again. read more
