This is the best Chinese food around! The staff is friendly and the food is absolutely delicious for a nice night of takeout. I love the shrimp fried rice and the lo mein. The egg rolls are my absolute favorite. read more

Prices have gone up a little. Atmosphere could be better and wish they had fountain drinks. Try General Tso's chicken- It does have spicy peppers in it, but if you avoid those it is not spicy at all. Still think it is great food for a great price. Definitely still going back. read more

This used to be my go-to Chinese place when I was living in Evanston. It's not completely Americanized/Cantonese-ized, so I really appreciate that. I was close enough to walk there when I lived in Evanston, and the wait times were never really that long (even if I didn't call in a head of time). Portions are good. One dish could feed one person for at least two meals. Given that I tend to order 2-3 items, I have food for the entire weekend. The string beans are a staple--I always get them. Learning to order a little hotter than I normally would. Mild had absolutely no heat. This last time I got the Shredded Pork in Peking sauce. It was pretty good, but a lot of bamboo shoots and not as much Pork. It's been about 3 years since I last ordered from there, but I remembered having a lot of good experience (and given that I kept ordering from there at that time, I knew it couldn't be that bad). Ordered through Seamless and things came pretty quickly. Given that Chinatown is a pretty long train ride, I think this place will remain my go-to restaurant for Chinese cravings. (Just wish they had salt & pepper ribs! Can't find them in the area at all.) read more

I'm really surprised by all the bad reviews for them on Yelp. I am new to ordering from Hunan Spring and I have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and tasty. I tried Moo Shu Shrimp for the first time tonight and it was delicious. Their egg rolls are delicious and they're not greasy. I've also had the egg foo young, sweet and sour chicken, and the chicken and broccoli. All good dishes. read more

There are places where you make requests for menu changes at your own peril, fast food and takeout are at the top of that list. I am a very open-minded foodie, but I just can't stand mushrooms, don't like the texture, don't like the taste, don't like that they come from the fungi kingdom. Therefore, when I ordered in-person I requested they prepare my dish without mushrooms, asked if it was possible, they agreed, transaction complete, right? Wrong! I return home to open up my MSG packed treat, and lo and behold the order must have thrown extra mushrooms in there. The communication breakdown happened somewhere, and I am not happy about it at all. Picking your way through your Chinese takeout is no way to spend a Saturday night read more

Ordered sesame chicken platter and crab Rangoon. The sesame chicken platter comes with fried rice and an egg roll. For those who usually swap out white rice, if you order from here, I say go with the fried rice. It's delicious and worthy of being a "just this once" treat! The egg roll was also tasty. The sesame chicken was a little sweet and reminded me of fried dough from a carnival. I couldn't finish it all at once, but it made for excellent leftovers! The crab rangoon was not my favorite. It was more runny cream cheese than anything else. I won't let that keep me away though. When in Evanston or on my way out of the village, I'll be sure to pick some up again! read more

Reliability good south Evanston choice for traditional fare with some occasional and Ramon and Dim Sum choices.

Hunan has passable food for an economical price. It's not a place you'll make a point to visit (it's seating appears to encourage take out anyway). Nor will you make a drive (past other Chinese places) just for Hunan's food. But for those who live in the neighborhood, it makes for an easy dinner solution (or dinner and a movie if you stop by Video Adventure next door). read more

This place is closest to me since I've moved in the area. The food is good, portions are good and they're definitely fast. I've tried other places near by but I keep coming back here! read more

Solid food. Authentic. Service is very average.

Second time ordering Large $! chicken fried rice and it's uncooked HARD RICE. Definitely not making a third time. You have lost a customer. Only up set due to hungry kids I have here. read more

The cheap price wasn't enough to make up for the blandness of the food. We tried 3 meals (gen. Tso, shrimp and noodles, and bean curd with green beans), only one was decent (shrimp/noodles). The 'very spicy' gen. Tso's was not spicy at all, and the chili sauce in the bean curd dish added almost no flavor. We also ordered steamed veggie dumplings that were not good. The filling had more flavor than our main dishes, but the texture was a bit off and couldn't compete with the copious amounts of thick, bland, dough. The delivery was also a bit late. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of Chicago land. My family has been eating here for the last 12 years. We were buying a car at the Subaru dealer next door and walked over to HS for a quick bite to eat. We were amazed! My favorite: Shredded pork with garlic sauce. My wife favorite: Egg plant stir fry Their hot and sour soup is some of the best you can buy. read more

I would give this zero stars if I could. As a pescatarian, I ordered shrimp fried rice and two egg rolls for pickup. After picking it up and getting home I called back and ask them what was in the eggrolls (see pictures). A worker proceeds to say pork and I said I can not eat it due to my dietary restrictions. I asked if I could bring it back since I hadn't eaten them and he said it wasn't possible. I explained to him that I was unaware of the meat inside of the eggroll and he accused me of being a liar saying that he informed me before I placed the order. I am extremely dissatisfied with both the food and customer service of this restaurant. Eat at your own discretion. read more

Hunan Spring - This is the "pork" eggroll that I received. - Chinese Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING I've been eating here since I was in grade school and every time it does not disappoint. I take everyone I know here, and recommend to everyone looking for Chinese food in the area. CHECK THEM OUT. You will not regret it, I promise. read more

Delicious Chinese food, we loved the Mongolian beef, fried rice and Kung pao chicken. Have had their food at least 5 times now and it is always good, highly recommend! read more

Have patronized this restaurant for 2 years at least 2x/month. At one time, its wait staff knew how to serve food --- appetizer, then soup, then main course. Simple formula. Within the last 6 months, wait staff pressure you to take your order immediately ... and then they come back with the entire meal separated in time only by how much they can carry. So, now the customer must stipulate when and how he/she wants the meal served. Panda Express offers better food with less stress. My most recent meal was a carry-out. When the customer orders, he/she can stipulate the time for pick-up. It doesn't matter! If you stipulate an hour or 2 hours pickup for your online or telephone order, rest assured the entire order will be cooked, bagged and ready in 10 minutes or less only to sit there descending from very hot to luke warm, soggy or room temperature until you pick it up. The hot sour soup has become less tasty; General Tsao's Chicken is no longer crispy; and of course, you must have Roast Pork Fried Rice or White Rice with lunch specials or pay extra for Chicken or Vegetable Fried Rice. Once the Chinese Food gem of Evanston, this place is in critical need of a management change and attitude. read more

I have been there several times for lunch, and the deals are excellent. The food is great although sometimes the service is a little slow to understand my order. I have ordered both appetizers and entrees without disappointment . read more

Hunan spring serves fast Asian style foods. The restaurant is sit down or take out, but it is very casual and a place I like to go when I am craving Asian American dishes. The portions are quite big, and the prices are very reasonable. I highly suggest their lunch special which is very affordable and delicious. I would also suggest sticking to the Chinese dishes. I've tried their Japanese dishes and was disappointed, but the Chinese dishes are typically good! read more

I picked up lunch and it was just bad! I got the beef and veggie lunch special and Szechuan dumplings with hot oil but it was not hot oil, it taste like a peanut butter sauce of some kind and they taste like they were empty. The lunch special was not fresh at all and my beef has a very strange smell. I threw the entire purchase in the garbage. Very disappointed to say the least. read more

Whatevee u do don't order orange chicken. Burnt crusty chicken, very tough meat and poorly prepared. Wanted to ask them to return the food but didn't want to be rude read more

This place was good enough that out of curiosity I looked it up to see if anyone else agreed. Not sure what the griping and moaning is about. The joint is in a strip mall and very standard - which wouldn't encourage lofty expectations on my behalf, and I likely wouldn't want to eat in because it feels like a restaurant on the highway in the middle of Indiana, however I will most definitely order take-out again as it was quite good. We ordered 3 dishes, among them cashew chicken. All of it was zesty with sort of a unique gravy. Definitely exceeded expectations. Good stuff. I'm in. read more

Cheap, quick and good Chinese food. This place never fails to disappoint. It's definitely no-frills, but that is part of the charm. The people are very nice and there is a cozy small business/family feel here. Their soups are excellent and I enjoy both the egg rolls and spring rolls. The chicken with string beans is great and the Szechuan Dumpling[s] in Red Hot Oil is fantastic as well. Yum. If you're looking for a healthy option, the Moo Shu chicken is great. It's simple and delectable. read more

Delivery was fast but I was expecting a lot more food then I got! portions are VERY small. The orange chicken wasn't good and the portion Super small. I've definitely had better. I also order the "Large"beef fried rice it was around $9 incredibly small. They should definitely consider bringing their prices down to match the size of the portions they send. read more

This place was soooo satisfying! I don't review too many Chinese food restaurants but this one was impressive to me. The fried rice I had wasn't greasy like most places and the crab Rangoon was delicious and they gave us at least 8 which most places give us 4 or 6. The food was also super quick and ready within 10 minutes. A large fried rice, crab Rangoon, and egg fu young fed myself and my husband and 3 younger kids and we were all satisfied with some left over. I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Convenient and delicious for a quick inexpensive pickup or delivery option. I have not dined in since the remodel, but it looks great and the service is great too. They brought me my smoothie when I didn't get it on a pickup order. Great place. read more

I hate that I like this spot so much lol I haven't had any issues with my dishes and the food is always good. I have had other people tell me that it's not their favorite, but I haven't had a bad experience. For Evanston you can't beat the price and quantity of the food. The lunch meals typically stretch to two meals and there is a pretty decent selection. Delivery is pretty quick too. One of my fav lunch spots. read more

I didn't read these reviews before I ordered because I get my haircuts next door. Ordered yesterday for herself's birthday. Everything was great! Hot and sour soup was delicious and substantial. Orange chicken was tasty, but needed spice help. It didn't earn the red chili next to it's menu entry. Chicken Egg Foo Yung great BUT needs more gravy. All in all, I'd order from here again. And will, I've been disappointed with others in the area. It may not be cheap for dinners, but last night, they were worth it! read more

This place is pretty much bomb for cheap, very salty, greasy American-Chinese lunch specials! For $6 you're getting pork fried rice with a choice of your meat, and either an egg roll or soup. I'd op for the soup simply for the quantity they give compared to their small egg rolls. It's very salty and overly seasoned with soy sauce, but.. I mean I like it if I'm feeling unhealthy. For the price can easily feed you for two meals and quick. Don't come in expecting anything extraordinary, but I'd come back just for the specials only. read more

I ordered Hunan Spring recently and I was extremely disappointed. Everything that I ordered was disgusting, and my sister ended up having an upset stomach after eating the food. I wouldnt recommend this restaurant to anyone. The last time I ordered from Hunan Spring was probably over 10 years ago so I assumed the food was the same. NOT!!! Never again will I order from this restaurant. read more

Food is oily and disgusting, even though when I ordered it I specifically told them less oil. I actually feel a little sick after eating it. They also forgot to put in chopsticks or fork or anything, and when I called them up they blamed me for not saying anything. Crappy service all around. Avoid. read more

This is our go to place for Chinese food. We have been regular customers for the last five years. The prices are ridiculously cheap and the portion size is huge. We always order for a pickup and the food is ready within 15 minutes. We have tried other Chinese restaurants in Evanston and around Chicago but nothing has come close to Hunan Spring. read more

This was my go to place back in college. I would drive all the way across Evanston to get their combo meals. The food is always piping hot and fresh! They give huge portions at reasonable prices. It's not the best Chinese that you will eat, but it's very good! The sesame chicken and kung pao chicken were typically my go to dishes. This is definitely your best Chinese carryout option in Evanston! read more

I ordered delivery online. I'm a patient person, but it took them 2.5 hours to get it to my door (I live about a mile away). The food came hot, which makes me think they weren't monitoring their online ordering system. I could forgive the late delivery, but the food was terrible. The General Tso's chicken was coated in a sauce so sweet I could feel the sugar crystals against my teeth. The szechuan dumplings are, according to their menu, supposed to come in a red hot chili oil. They were coated in a gloopy peanut butter sauce, akin to the sauce over cold sesame noodles. The Tofu Homestyle was equally disappointing - fried pieces of mealy tofu in a generic brown sauce. The white rice was great. The hot and sour soup was mediocre, but I was so pissed about the rest of the food I was probably biased towards thinking it was worse than it actually was. read more

I have order from here before and I have never had a horrible experiences as I did today. ordered 5 things only got 4 when I went to pick up and checked my ordered with them and they said yes got home and was missing items. Called back and they even knew they messed up and thought it was a joke. They said they would remake what they are missing and discount it, go back to pick up the order, then they are trying to charge full prices for what they messed up on and laughing at us when we went back. I will not be returning and suggest that you do not go there. How rude of an experiences I had and how they don't care about there customers. read more

F***ing gross never going here again they told me they put fortune cookies in my bag and I got home to none... the crab Rangoon tasted like cottage cheese never never ever again read more

Best Chinese food in Evanston by far. And SO MUCH of it. Great value. Love this place

Maybe I'm low brow, but I love me some strip mall chinese food. Everything at this place is solid. We love the owners and continue to order from here every few weeks. This is the place I crave when I want Americanized Chinese food and I don't care who knows it. read more

This former hole in wall spot has expanded its dining room. You can now enjoy a more comfortable sit down experience in diner style booths. The service can be a bit spotty, but the food is definitely still delicious! Overall, you can share your plate with someone else and still be full. The portion sizes are large. I've tried the hunan beef, the pepper steak, and orange chicken, and they've all been spot on and delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place for a satisfying casual spot. read more

I sooo badly want to support this place, since there are very few Chinese places in the North Shore. I am also very fair when it comes to reviews, but this place was really bad. We ordered the beef chow mein with the crispy noodles, which was heavy on the celery and poor on taste. My order came without the noodles! So we call them and after much arguing, someone agrees to deliver the noodles, and they deliver a small bag with fried wonton strips! Is this what chow mein has become? I could have opened up my ramen packs and had a better experience. We also ordered the Kung pao chicken, which was heavy on the celery and onions and just plain bad. This place is an embarrassment. Go to Panda Express. It's much better, and that's a shame. read more
