    We wanted some American Chinese food, so we decided to go back to this place and give it a second try (we tried it long time ago and we weren't that impressed). Here's what we ordered this second time around: Kung pao shrimp: pretty good, but we got more vegetables than the shrimp, so I'm not sure if the value of this dish was good compared to the price. Also in general, I don't like sweet-and-sour flavor profile, and the sauce they used on this dish reminded me a lot of that, so personally, this dish was just not my favorite. Eggplant with hot spiced garlic sauce: first of all, the portion was great, and the eggplant was cooked to perfection. The eggplant was juicy, thickly sliced, and tender. The sauce was pretty good too. I also like the addition of slivered wood ear mushroom. But what felt weird to me was the inclusion of water chestnut into this dish, which to me generally is not something that I would find in an eggplant dish like this. It was not necessarily bad, it was just a strange. Three deluxe vegetables: I'm glad to know that we could choose between brown sauce and white sauce when ordering this dish, and we decided to go with the white sauce. The white sauce was tasty but it was too thick (too much starch?). Also they were super heavy-handed with the water chestnut and it was kinda overwhelming. Vegetable chow mein: just like my previous review, the chow mein was delicious. I like the noodles which were cooked perfectly and still bouncy and al dente. The flavor was really spot on as well. No complaints. I would get this again. Hunan general tsao's chicken: pretty much this dish had the same flavor profile as the Kung pao shrimp. And the amount of cubed water chestnut in this dish was incredibly overwhelming. I think the water chestnut completely took over this dish, and I don't even think that water chestnut would be normally found in general tsao's chicken. Again, the water chestnut was not necessarily bad, it was just highly unusual. Two things that are appealing to me about this place though are the price, which is relatively low compared to other local Chinese restaurants, and the portion, which is really generous.

    Sesame Chicken ... good sauce.

    We have been coming to Hunan for probably 35 years. Am guessing it has changed owners or management in all that time. But we have seen familar faces for the last several years. While Hunan has a steady takeout business, DH and I prefer to dine in. Nothing fancy, but good friendly service, generous portions, and overall good food. We especially like their Hot and Sour Soup, but skipped it on our last visit. A hot day ... too hot for soup. A complimentary plate of egg rolls was a good way to start the meal while waiting for the entrees. We ordered Sesame Chicken and Mongolian Beef, also steamed rice. (We typically pass on fried rice.) DH really wanted chow mein noodles, one of his favorite dishes here. But with calories in mind he skipped it this time. Even without the soup and noodles, we had leftovers to take home. Find it hard to believe, I have never reviewed Hunan on Yelp. An oversight ... or maybe deleted? At any rate, I am happy to leave a four star review!

    I so wanted to give this place a high rating, I really did, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Let me first start off with the fact that this was my first meal of the day as I'm currently on a fast so as you can imagine I was really looking forward to eat. The place is pretty clean, bright with lots of windows, very friendly staff with fast and great service, hence why I'm giving 2 stars for this overall Yelp review (I'd give 2.5 stars if I could but Yelp ain't havin' it). Service 5/5 For starters, they served a veggie egg roll per person which tasted pretty standard and as expected; served with sweet & sour sauce to dip in. 3/5 For an appetizer we ordered fried chicken wings (pictured) which arrived pretty quickly and sizzling hot. Though it had a perfect crunch, it lacked seasoning and some of the wings were even less seasoned than others. 3/5 Next up was the House Fried Rice which was lukewarm in temperature. They were a little stingy and didn't fill up the entire dish which is strange to me because at every Chinese spot I've ever been to it's literally the one thing they pile on (either that or noodles). Another thing I noticed was the meat was not chopped smaller (not necessarily good or bad), but at least there was a lot of it. Not much flavor either but when you do get a hint of it, it's not bad. 2.5/5 Sweet & sour pork was the absolute worst dish. Though doused in sweet & sour sauce, the meat retained its crispiness but that's where the positivity ended. How can I describe the flavor, you ask? Easy: THERE WAS NONE. Nada. How could that be, you ask? Wasn't there sauce all over? Listen, I dunno how it happened, but it did. 1/5 (maybe even a zero? I wouldn't give it to a homeless person begging me for food--THAT is how bad it was. Honey Walnut Prawns - the only saving grace. It has *some* barely there flavor, but was still palatable. Did wish it were a bit crunchier though but it's ok. 3/5 The host who greeted us and took our order was really nice, funny and friendly. Same goes for our server who brought out all our food, soft drinks and topped off our waters. Like I said it was because of them that I'm not giving a lower rating. Will not be coming back though...

I've heard of Yi Ji Chang Fen but only tried it today. I've eaten so much dim sum in my lifetime, so my standard for dim sum may be higher. We came around 5PM on a Saturday and there wasn't anyone really there. It could be because dim sum feels more like a morning or lunch thing, or it could just be because we were there for a very early dinner. Between our party, we shared: - Marinated Chicken and Mushroom Rice Roll - Stuffed Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf - Steamed Chicken Feet w/ Black Bean Sauce - Black Gold Egg Custard Buns - Chicken Feet with Herbs - Dry Style Beef Chow Fun And one Honey Lemon Tea for me. The honey lemon tea was a comfort for the cold day. Maybe a bit too much honey, but still good for the throat during the dry season. The chow fun came first and surprisingly it was not bad. There was a bit of 'wok hey' there and it stands out as one of the better dishes we had. As for the rice roll - I wanted to try something less conventional and I've never seen chicken in rice rolls, so I thought it would be interesting to try. It was quite disappointing though. Their rice roll was bigger than normal in width so with rice rolls being a struggle to pick up already, the bigger size made it an even bigger struggle. Everything just slipped out of the rice roll and it wasn't evenly wrapped. There were some bunched up layers on the edges. I think the chicken just didn't pair that well either and it was lacking in ingredients. Maybe the more conventional rice rolls would be better. For the two types of chicken feet, I normally like the one in herbal soup. If made well, the chicken feet has a nice flavor to it. For Yi Fen's herbal chicken feet, their portion was pretty good, but flavor was less prominent. I enjoyed the chicken feet in black bean sauce more because the flavor was better. Lastly, for the stuffed sticky rice and black gold egg custard buns, I suspect that these are not made in-house, but rather store-bought. The sticky rice lacked ingredients and the rice was a little harder than if made fresh. And the perfectly shaped black buns with a golden brush stroke on top (which I've seen all over the internet) seemed too elevated-looking compared to everything else. I'm not the biggest fan of molten lava buns, but they came out nicely. I didn't have any, but the molten lava custard was pretty runny. All in all, an okay experience. Service was a bit lacking. I don't recommend the dim sum dishes, but if I happen to want congee, I may give this place another go. Apart from the dim sum and rice rolls, the noodles I glimpsed from other customers looked not bad. I wonder if other locations are better.
