My wife & I frequent Hunan for lunch, but occasionally do dinner there as well. The food quality & recipes have been consistently very good to excellent, but they are largely Americanized versions of Chinese fare. The staff may be small, but they hustle their butts off and deliver a wonderful experience - hot food is hot, cold beverages are cold, etc... All of this in a casual, clean and otherwise well maintained environment. The only negative we have experienced is one time my spicy dinner was a bit over spiced with peppers... One of our favorite places in St. Joe! read more

Good food, hot and quickly delivered. Had the Eight Delicious Chicken, hot and sour soup. I would recommend.

We were seated quickly in the bar area upon arrival. Ordered potstickers and spring rolls to start. Pot stickers were good and tasted fresh, spring rolls were room temperature and mediocre. Three of ordered different entrées and all enjoyed them. My Kung Pao Chicken was not spicy a d I wasn't asked how spicy I wanted it. I solved that desire with the chili oil after it arrived. This is good enough, but not great. read more

When I was working in St. Joseph and had a Chinese food craving, this would be where I would go. Granted, there are not a lot of options up north. I'm going to be honest, their food is average. I like spicy food and they are good at that but it seems like they add nothing but hot peppers. I cannot taste any other seasonings. The chow mein is usually a disappointment whenever I order it. It's plenty spicy but also bland, if that makes sense. No salt, sweetness, or any other seasonings aside from hot. It's also very oily, like the noodles just sit in a pool of red oil. I've tried it a few times hoping it was just bad timing but that is how many of their dishes are. Also, since they have a monopoly up north in that city, their prices are on the higher end which are not on par with the lack of quality of the food. I really tried hard to give this place a chance. To be honest, I had better food at Hy-Vee for their Chinese food. read more

Ordered while passing through town and ate in our sprinter van. Parking lot packed, quick service, fresh, hot food. It's was delicious! read more

Hunan Restaurant - Hunan chicken, chicken and broccoli + 2 egg rolls - Chinese Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

The restaurant is confusing chow mian with lao mian, making up "their own style" of noodles and tastes bad.

No crab or crab flavor in the crab rangoon... disappointing Ordered thru Door Dash. The Sesame chicken was good read more

This place is a joke. $70.00 a 45 minute wait cold food messed up orde. Oh but they did say sorry. Lmao read more

Hunan Restaurant - This is triple delight with triple meat. Lmao - Chinese Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

See all

I give it one star because the customer service was pleasant and they were quick. Sadly I can tell while they're quick. I ordered the Mongolian beef and nothing about it was close to Mongolian beef. It was a brown sauce that was bitter and tasted like bland. The fried rice was dry. The only good part of my meal was the fried dumplings and soup. read more

Sweet and sour chicken was delicious, like always! The lo mein with chicken didn't have much flavor, but it was okay.

My husband & I were leery about eating lunch at Hunan's today due to the reviews on Yelp. We decided to give them a try and was pleasantly surprised at how well their food was. They also had wonderful customer service. We will definitely be going back! read more

Hunan Restaurant - Orange chicken, crab rangoon, fried rice, egg drop soup & hot tea - Chinese Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Wow great food! I had the chicken chow mein. Super fresh, tasted really good and very nice staff working there.

Delicious tea, great service and amazing food. First time eating here however it most definitely will not be the last, I had the beef with vegetables. Side of fried rice. I'll be honest the fried rice was kinda bland but the bed and vegetables was absolutely delicious, I also sampled their crab Rangoon, just plain scrumptious!!!) If I could I would give them 10 stars! read more

Food was great and service was excellent. Definitely recommend! Hot and sour soup was fantastic

Solid take out/delivery Chinese food. Really enjoyed. Sweet and sour pork was really good. Pork fried rice was very good. Veggie lo mein was good as well. Egg rolls were not good at all. All mush. Ew. The pork fried wontons and crab Rangoon were good too. I ordered some crunchy noodles and they were my favorite. Would definitely recommend them. read more

The waiter was nice. the restaurant clean. the food was TERRIBLE!!! Paid for and left two full plates of food on the table to be thrown in trash. We still had to pay for the meal--no offer by human employee to make it right. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! read more

People! Hunan Restaurant offers a good value of Chinese foodies. The food was prepared to our exact requests and substitutions for tofu were available for the lunch menu. Ask for Carson to be your server. He is very thorough and gracious. We will definitely come back when in town. read more

I would definitely pick a frozen TV dinner over anything this restaurant serves extremely salty soy sauced "food", The tables were sticky like they were washed with a dirty wash cloths and the waitstaff is inattentive and playing on their cell phones. read more

This is the greatest Chinese restaurant in the history of Chinese restaurants. Try number 10. Also, best egg rolls and egg drop soup ever.

I've loved Hunan for over 30 years! Always the best food and great staff! They make you feel at home. Prices are very reasonable.

My folks love this spot. Maybe because they always get their usual and it's reliably good. Tonight, however, the shrimp tasted sour and I was unable to eat my meal. At least the kids' chicken fried rice was okay and I didn't starve. I wish the waitress had informed me of a lunch portion option. At least then I wouldn't have paid for a huge plate of bad shrimp I didn't eat. read more

Horrible. Worst shrimp lo mein I've had ever. No flavor. Crabrangoon had zero flavor. I poured soy sauce on everything just to choke it down. So disappointed. Hadn't been there in about 10 years, it was so good back then. Won't be back. read more

Service wasn't bad. Guy didn't really check on us but the food came out fast, actually a bit too fast as I had barely touched my soup. The hot & sour soup was too salty and tasted like straight soy sauce. I poured some of my water into it. Also, apparently they charge $0.75 for (burnt) fried noodles for the soup. My shrimp dish had 6 shrimps in it. This is just one of those basic Chinese American places with sysco stuff and too much corn starch making their sauces too thick. Prices were cheap though. read more

I started eating at Hunan's when they opened. This is by far the best Chinese food I have ever had. Their cashew chicken is the best. I have many happy memories of eating out with my mother here and I highly recommend it! read more

It's really hard to find somewhere to eat lunch as cheap and GOOD as Hunan's. The selection is varied, I usually get the #5 Shrimp and Vegetables. The restaurant is clean, the wait staff is prompt and friendly. The food is delivered quickly and hot. If you like Chinese food, this restaurant is a "Must Try". read more

Didn't care for any of the entrees we ordered, which included Chicken Lo Mein, General Tso's Chicken, and Hunan Beef. Sauces were very bland, not flavorful at all. Crab Rangoon and Egg Drop soup were both good. read more

Quality and affordability is what Hunan restaurant is known for. Every time I have gone here, which is about once a week, we have been treated exceptionally well by everyone. With their prices, I thought their portions would be small, but I was wrong. Their lunchtime meals, which you can also order all day Monday through Thursday, are enough to fill anyone up. And they are all under $8! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good Chinese food at a good price. read more

I have eaten in Chinese restaurants around the world and this restaurant has the distinction of being the worst. The positive review say stating this "is the best Chinese food I've ever had" were obviously made by a local (owner, maybe?) who has never gotten out of town. I ordered a beef satay appetizer that was so tough I had to cut it up with a knife and spoon into small pieces I could swallow whole. I ordered the pork moo shi and it was completely flavorless and lacking key ingredients. Oh yeah, they gave me a MEXICAN FOOD MENU WHEN I SAT DOWN. Had to find the Chinese menu face down under the placemat. They were trying to warn me, weren't they? Avoid this hole at all costs. read more

I've heard people say this is their favorite, but I think maybe they just say that since they've never eaten good Chinese. I've had better Chinese from a frozen meal. Everything is bland and I guess Americanized. There are for sure better options even in St. Joseph....I'd give it 2 stars. Now the four star is for their recently added Mexican menu...I know it sounds crazy, but it is much better Mexican than either Le Mesa or El Magay. I get it...it's not like those place set a bar too high, but it's about all we got here to compare. I had the choose three...fried taco, chili rellano and a tamale. Everything was excellent. I'd highly recommend. read more

This is without question the best Chinese food in St. Joseph. I personally like it a little spicier, but overall quality, price and wait staff are very good. read more
