When I lived in the area, I would go routinely. This has been a favorite spot for me for years. I come back for a meal when I visit, and I have never been disappointed. The food is always very good, and the service is always solid. There is an old school Chinese restaurant ambience that I enjoy. Give it a try. read more

Besides my favorite Chinese restaurant in NJ, the excellent food is surpassed by their top notch service and servings so large you are most always bringing home leftovers! They have a private room toward back holds approximately 20 or more for group business meetings or parties. The crispy beef and many varieties of shrimp dishes are excellent but their Asian string beans best out there. read more

Hunan Spring Chinese - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

The quality of the food and service has gone down considerably since 2020. One cannot contribute it to ownership change as the same ownership is evident. We were seated at a booth adjacent to the cashier/reception station and were completely repulsed by the male owner calling a male gentleman of color the "N Word" as he left the restaurant with his young daughter after simply asking for extra sauce and utensils after receiving his order. We vow to never return to this establishment since the owner blatantly demonstrated his racism in a manner to be heard by customers in earshot. read more

I have eaten here several times for over 20 years and have never experienced bad service nor a bad meal. Even with a 6-person group without reservations on a very busy night, I've been seated within 5 minutes. Their waitstaff is very friendly and attentive with water and uncorking. BYOB works well here. Prices are extremely fair. Their entrees are great for family-style dining. I've visited with meat-and-potatoes folks as well as those who enjoy more interesting dishes and all have been very satisfied. From Chinese-American dishes to traditional ones, this place is the best in the area. I'm a huge fan of a dish called fried tofu with black bean sauce (good for vegetarians) as well as crazy beef (a spicy dish made with Szechuan peppercorns). The biggest difference between this venue and other Chinese restaurants in the area is taste and balance. This place knows how to balance flavors and pack so much tastiness within a dish. read more

If we'd have based our experience on our first visit, 4 or maybe 5 stars would have been in the cards. But based on our last (and final) visit, a single star is all that is deserved. On our first visit, we were very impressed about the size of the entrees, as well as the extensive menu. My chicken broccoli contained more chicken than any other restaurant I've ever seen. The service was decent enough, and we looked forward to a future visit. Bad decision. It was about 10 minutes before our drink orders were taken. Then, once food finally arrived 20 minutes later, my wife's order was wrong, neither of us got rice, and my egg roll still hadn't surfaced. After my wife's entree was delivered, we had to remind the server of the egg roll and rice. My wife had the orange beef, which was in a shredded form, overcooked and dry. My General Tso's chicken was meh, but contained absolutely no vegetables of any type, a first. After I'd finished, the server came back and started clearing the table -- including taking my wife's plate while she was still eating! When the check arrived, I decided to leave just a nickel, reflecting the bad service. The server reached across me to grab the signed check, as if he were in some great hurry. Then he comes back to the table, and asks what the $.05 was for. Since this is a family site, I won't tell you how I referred to the guy, but it rhymes with gallsy little puck. I explained the problems we had with the service and food, he nodded, marked out the tip, and left. This is one of the most unprofessional dining experiences we've had anywhere, and completely wiped out the good will from the previous visit. read more

Have eaten here multiple times over the past few years. I am always impressed! Last night, the group that I ate with ordered family-style, and we got the following dishes: Chinese-style Filet Mignon with Broccoli - good quality beef tenderloin, but a bit heavy-handed on the sauce, which might be a regional preference, but I really enjoyed this dish! Scallion Pancakes - came out hot and crispy, but could use a few more scallions. Delicious nonetheless. Pan-fried Pork Dumplings - the dumpling skin is a bit thick on these. Might be a regional preference? The meat inside was a bit small compared to the overall size of these dumplings. Snow Pea Leaves - these were really awesome. Lots of garlic cloves in this stir-fried preparation - loved this dish! Crispy Duck - way too heavy-handed on the orange peel sauce, which really should have been presented on the side. The duck itself was not very meaty. Ma Po Tofu - great interpretation of this Szechwan classic. Nice portion size as well! Crazy Fish - their signature version of Szechwan Boiled Fish - had a few snow peas and some cabbage in the vessel. I really enjoyed this. Brown Rice - they serve the good kind. Nice plump grains which were perfectly al dente. Pots of Hot Tea - a nice complimentary perk! Service was attentive and accurate. Not sure what the other Yelpers are griping about. This kitchen can cook! Agreed, the interior and its furnishings have seen better days, but you will be impressed by the presentation, plating, and flavors of their food. read more

This is probably one of the worst Chinese places in town. I used to like eating here until I almost swallowed a piece of metal in my food. I went to the owner to resolve the issue in a friendly manner, however not only did she dismiss my claim but flat out denied it. I've been coming here for 15 years with no problems and of course delicious food. I explained to her that it's ok, I know mistakes happen just please refund me. Instead she decided to call me a liar and threaten to call the cops. If you enjoy unfriendly service and metal in your food then this is the place for you. It's a shame that I had to leave a review like this after coming here for so long with positive experiences but this is a product of poor customer service. I advise you to check your food if you decide to come here. read more

Hunan Spring Chinese - Piece of metal in my beef and broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

This has always been my foodie friend's favorite Chinese restaurant so I knew it had to be good. From appetizers to the main course everything was delicious! I've tried the following dishes today: 1) Giao Yian Calamari -WOW. So fresh, soft, and tasty!!! This Chinese version of fried calamari was outstanding!!! And I loved the accompanying sauce with chopped garlic!! You have to order this if you come here!!! This was my favorite dish out of everything I've tried. 2) Wok Seared Basil Chicken - this reminds me of Thai food because of the basil. Pretty good! 3) Three Musketeers Beauties - What a funny name! LOL! It's prawn, chicken, and beef sauteed in traditional sauce with garlic. Very good too. 4) Sirloin Beef - I didn't care too much for it, it was "A-OK" 5) Sauteed flounder with asparagus and green peas (I forgot what it's called) - very good! We wanted to order Moo Shu Pork too but our very enthusiastic waiter discouraged us from ordering it and said "it's no good", even though my friend who had been here many times insists it was good. At first I thought he was kidding, but he was serious and wasn't accepting Moo Shu Pork order at all so we finally gave up ordering it. Has any Yelper tried Moo Shu Pork here??? If you have, please let me know if the waiter is right, thanks!! read more

Hunan Spring Chinese - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

Good service and timely delivery .variety of choices to pick from. Like the pineapple chicken .

Just had dinner at this place. The server was very rude and not one word out of him the entire meal. He served our dinner and walked away without a single word. He only came back when we were done and took our plates away very quickly, again without any word from him. Don't understand his attitude which was totally unwarranted. read more

Good price, very good food. Service is spot on, they don't take long to deliver. The restaurant I've only been inside once a long time ago, I heard good things though. 10/10 recommend for fast and yummy food. read more

My family and I ordered takeout from here 5 days ago. I am the only person who ordered chicken and scallion pancakes and I have had food poisoning since eating it. It hit me 6 hours after eating and woke me up out of a deep sleep. Urgent care confirmed I have food poisoning and it can take 7-10 days to clear up. Needless to say I may never eat Chinese food again after this experience. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. read more

We enjoyed the delicious food and had a good time. The service was excellent too. Will definitely go again.

Found this place on Yelp and it was near my Gym, so I gave it a shot. Had the $7.95 lunch special which consisted of soup, brown rice, and Chicken/String Beans. I added the $2.25 vegetarian spring roll. The Good: food was fresh, well seasoned (a bit salty), not oily, fresh vegetables, reasonable portions, hot and tasty. Food was really inexpensive/good value. The bad: Ambience was drab, the waiters were talking really loudly to each other in Chinese I think there is much better chinese in the area (china chalet in Florham Park), but this was definitely a good local spot. wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but would return for lunch if i was in the area. read more

DO NOT order from this restaurant. I ordered Orange chicken and instead received chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms. Called the restaurant and they were so rude. Horrible. Left me on hold to answer another phone THREE TIMES! The cook got on the phone and DEMANDED a picture! Then argued that what was clearly a mushroom was an orange peel. Never resolved the situation and HUNG UP ON US! So no dinner for me. read more

The best Chinese food.  We drive an hour to come here.  One of the main reasons they still make classic fried rice (not the yellow one). Great flavor, consistency  amount & quality of ingredients in their pork friend rice.  Let's start with the Chinese crisp starter noodles. They are the homemade wide crispy ones that contain the raised crisp bubbles fresh not stale right out of the fryer not the prepackaged hard skinny ones ( although togo orders may include the skinny ones maybe you have to request the fat ones or maybe they are reserved for in-house only to maintain freshness I'm not sure but u can ask). We start with a poo poo platter.  It is so nice that they don't have fried chicken in theirs. They have the classics: spare ribs,  steak on a stick,  pan fried dumplings,  shrimp toast & shrimp spring roll. The ribs and steak are tender and flavorful marinated & seasoned perfectly.  The shrimp toast is light fluffy full of shrimp and is not burnt or over oily. The spring rolls contain whole pieces of shrimp and vibrant crisp vegetables. Must try entrees are the crispy walnut prawn shrimp. The shrimp are extra large  shrimp batter fried and served over crisp broccoli and top with the most decadent  but still light fluffy wiped cream sauce in a flavor I can't not put my finger on maybe something like if they took an orange julius  whipped it up & made it savory & topped w perfectly (not too sweet) crispy walnuts. Their beef and scallops are so tender. I'm not sure how  they marinate their meats but they really tenderize them. Beef was beautiful like fine filet mignon but of course it was some other cut rendered to perfection.  Scallops were tender and not rubbery.  It had crisp vibrant vegetables the snow peas were plump not flattened.  The bamboo shoots were stout and kept their form.  The sauce was infused almost like wine burgundy not your run of the mill brown sauce and everything was coated properly. Taking your mouth to flavor town. Only down side that goes hand & hand with today's times is portion is cut a little to mimick foods costs.  The spare ribs that were once 2 inches wide are 1 1/2. The  friend rice maybe cut down by a spoonful.  That's what we noticed but to someone new it wouldn't make a difference plus we didn't have a scale to fully know it's just what it felt like.  But unlike other places that may have sacrificed quality & taste do to staff - this place has not. read more

I have no idea where to start. I normally don't kill a business with a bad review for poor service since it's unfair to their food, but my first and only experience was mind blowing with Hunan. I called and said these simple words, "Id like to place an order for pick up." The lady on the phone then continued to question me not once, not twice, but SIX times "...are you sure you come pick up here?" Ummmm what? Shame. And the hunt continues for a good Chinese place in the area. read more

Smell like shit taste like shit fortune cookie 10 years old never more this china is piece of shit iam sorry guys but that's fucked up

There are not very many very good Chines restaurants close by. I say that as someone who ate often in Chinatown in Manhattan. Hunan Spring is decent, you can get a good meal there. I have not been here in many years because for the longest time, it was not good. I prefer a more adventurous menu but if you want more Americanized Chines food, this will do. Prices are a little on the high side. Portions size is pretty good. Service is ok, nothing to write home about. They have their own parking lot in the back. read more

I have never in all my life experienced such a thing. They forgot our rice in the order (7 people). When the person who works there came to "deliver" the rice, she parked her car and incessantly honked, disturbing the neighbors. My husband went out to her and asked her what she was doing? He asked her to take her rice and leave. Never again, are we ordering from them. This is not the first time we received awful service but it will be the last read more

I went with a friend who said the restaurant was under new ownership and much improved. Unfortunately, neither turned out to be the case. When asked, the hostess said the ownership had not changed in over 10 years. Worse than that, the food was mediocre and the selections unimaginative. I know it was a bad sign when chow mein was listed second under lunch specials. Dinner entrees are often over $20. Dumplings are the best choices, but they were simply average. If you live in Springfield, convenience may lead you here, but there was no other reason to come here. read more

Some of the best, most authentic Chinese food you can find in the area! Upon arrival, we were happy to see that the restaurant had it's own parking lot in the back. The hostess was friendly greeting us, and we had our choice of either a booth or a table. The interior of the restaurant was well decorated, and we appreciated the natural lighting and the abundance of plants that really brought the place to life. The menu was absolutely extensive, and there were practically endless options for us to choose from. Luckily, the menu was well organized and we were able to consult our waiter for recommendations. We ordered the hot and sour soup, the spicy wontons, and the shrimp toast. All came quickly and piping hot, and tasted fresh and very flavorful. They were also very accommodating to the vegetarian in the party, which is uncommon for some other Chinese restaurants. We ordered a bunch of entrees to share, but by far the highlight was the lobster. It was cooked perfectly and tenderly, and the lobster itself was meaty and juicy. The sauce was deliciously savory, and we could taste the skill of the chefs in each bite. Our other entrees were just as satisfying, and you truly cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Overall, the wait staff were attentive and helpful, the servings were appropriate and very filling, and our dining experience was very pleasant. We will definitely be returning, and getting takeout when we can't come in! You can't miss this spot! read more

Ordered on doordash. Received the wrong item. When I called I was offered the chance to drive over and pick up the item that I ordered. I asked them why I would do pick up when I ordered door dash. Then I was told that they don't deal with me since I'm door dash. So let me get this straight - they screwed up but won't help me or refund me because I ordered through doordash?? Never again! read more

Hunan Spring has been my family's go-to Chinese restaurant for 20-plus years. There have been off nights, and there tends to be a crowd on weekends, but more times than not, it has made for an enjoyable meal. The expansive menu includes Cantonese and Sichuan dishes, venerable classics and inventive chef's specials. By habit, I start with cold noodles in sesame sauce: they rarely disappoint. Other favorites include jade duck, crispy tender steak, and almost anything in garlic or XO sauce. One caveat: don't expect a lot of heat, even if you ask for something spicy. While prices are substantially higher than takeout Chinese, the quality of the food is also substantially better. Service here comes across as harried at times but is usually very efficient. Having relocated to a relative wasteland for quality Chinese food, I tend to get nostalgic (and hungry) thinking about Hunan. However, it can hold its own even in cosmopolitan New Jersey. read more

Food was delicious. I had the hot and sour soup, fried dumplings, and chicken lo mein. Best Chinese in the area. I ordered via door dash and the food was still hot when it arrived. Will be getting our Chinese food from here from now on. read more

So ordered a small steamed chicken with vegetables for $15.80! Go to pickup and was told there's a $25 minimum to use my visa card. The lady asked if I had cash, I had exactly $15.00, she then says ok (I'm thinking shes going to spare the .80 cents). Instead she tells me louder that the bill is $15.80 TWICE and takes me visa, scorning me to remember "next time". Steamed chicken was very slimy, did not enjoy. read more

Most authentic Chinese food you can find in the area! Upon arrival, we were happy to see that the restaurant had it's own parking lot in the back.

Wait staff were attentive and helpful, the servings were appropriate and very filling, and our dining experience was very pleasant. I would recommend the restaurant to friends of mine. read more

Great food. Great service. Been our go to Chinese restaurant for decades. On my way there now.

Decent food for some Chinese in Springfield. Someone I met brought us here for his friend owned the restaurant. He's the type of person that goes buckwild in ordering from what I learned from eating dim sum earlier during the day. (I really don't appreciate it when people do that. Especially if I'm supposed to pay for some of it.) Water service was a little slow as the restaurant was empty. The szchuan style beef and fish soup had a weird spice I can't put my finger on. Lobster were dainty but still cooked well. Another odd thing was the triangular plates - not a very feng shui kind of thing. read more
