Hunan Star is one of my favorites. It's a community staple and always satisfying. Their entrees are made with quality ingredients versus frozen or reheated food. Their service is prompt and polite and the restaurant is always clean. My lunch favorites include classics like Sweet & Sour Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Chicken with Garlic Sauce (YUM) and many others. They have something for everyone. read more

Great food and great customer service. My son and I were there yesterday and it hit the spot! Go check them out. It's not a fancy place but it has great food. read more

Love this place! Have been here before but this is my first review. Decor is nice, place is clean, and staff is friendly and tonight very talkative. It was pleasant. They first brought a good sized portion of pickled cabbage which was delightful... ate every bite. I was with my wife and after much debate we ordered the General Tso's chicken, and a plate of the combo fried rice. Both came out quickly, and steaming which is a huge plus in my book. The General Tso was a dark brown sauce which was new for me, but it was fantastic! Not too spicy, a ton of chicken and the broccoli was cooked perfectly, still crunchy as we the green peppers. The combo fried rice, beef, pork, chicken and shrimp was hot, fresh and delicious We'll continue to work our way through the menu... read more

The place was rather warm, as though the air conditioning was working, but not well. Our waitress is very kind and sweet and helpful. I ordered the general Joe's chicken. It was good, but I've had better. I doubt that I will be going back. read more

Yes yes and yes!!! I have been searching high and low for good Chinese food that's close to New York style and even though it's not exact it's pretty close and that's a win for me. The ordering online was fast and easy as I did it while finishing my work day. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and spare ribs. The place was nice and clean and staff was friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be back to try different dishes. read more

I don't know how this place has a four out of five star? It's trash garbage food. I eat all types of Asian food and married into an Asian family and tried this place for the first time. It was awful. Nothing had any flavor to it the quality was awful And they couldn't even tell me what went into certain dishes when I asked over the phone. Even the chef said I don't know we just get it on a truck. Very disappointing. read more

Delicious food. It saves you time on those days when you don't want to cook. I recommend

This is a decent takeout Chinese joint. First, the eggrolls here don't seem to be house-rolled. They're the same thing I've had at a dozen other similar Americanized Chinese takeout places ... frozen and bought in bulk. If I'm wrong, so bet it. Either way, the eggrolls here are OK so long as you like heavy ginger and black pepper flavor. The Beef & Snowpeas here are really good. The sauce is mild to my taste, but that's not on the dude doing the cooking. The beef is tender and the veggies are crisp-tender. Eggplant in garlic sauce was meh on my visit. It's pretty obvious that this place is not using Asian eggplant, as the pieces in my dish were peeled of all skin -- and half of them were tough and not edible. Perhaps that was a one-time thing. The sauce was decent though. I'll be back here with higher hopes. read more

The best in town I've had others and nobody tastes as good as theirs. Definitely recommend and you get a good amount for the price

Came here for lunch and ordered their beef with bell pepper lunch special which came with a soup, entree, rice, and egg roll. Lots of food for just over $10; so a good value in that regard. To me, the food was fine - your standard Americanized Chinese fare. Nothing really stood out as good nor bad; however I will add that the service was very fast and friendly. Interior of the restaurant could use some TLC and modernizing, but plenty of seating if you have a large group. read more

General Tao and Orange chicken was ok but chicken was a bit dry. Egg drop soup was completely bland and way too thick! Moo Goo Gai Pan was bland. We always love ready the fortune cookies but these need to be thrown out. They are completely stale. read more

I've slept on this restaurant for FAR too long, I'm glad enough of my neighbors on Nextdoor recommended this restaurant to me to finally convince me. I guess I just thought the food didn't photograph well but really it looked much better in person than i see in photos. Not I eat food just for photos, but just saying I didn't think it did it Justice after the great experience I had! First off the staff, I didn't get the lady's name that helped me once I got there but she was one of the friendliest restaurant staff I've met, and I've never met her before. I had both my boys with me (young) so I went in to pay and asked if I can pull my car out front so I can then just grab the food. She walked us to my car, and was extremely courteous and cautious with trying to keep my older one from running into traffic (which he wasn't) while I put the other in the car. That sense of humanity just unfortunately became something I never expect from strangers and she just lifted my spirits in a really nice way. The restaurant was a tad smaller inside than I expected but I liked their decoration, their front doors are awesome looking, and overall the restaurant, despite being in a strip center, feels like an authentic individual place instead of the "cubicle" type feel you usually get from strip center restaurants. The place smelled great, it was empty since I picked up food just before 5 PM (again, young kids), and when I tell you the food was piping hot, its an understatement. They packed the containers in a cardboard box to keep it from spilling, and even after I got home the containers were still too hot to the touch to hold. I had to spread the food out on a plate to be able to handle cutting it smaller for the kiddos! I say all this to say that taking it to go it was still very fresh and tasty once we got it home. Anyhoo the food itself, I ordered some "classic" things we try at many Chinese restaurants and we were impressed with all of it. The kiddos loved the lo mein noodles (of course!), all of it was fresh, nice texture, and I enjoyed the flavor of each of the components, much more so together. The General Tso's and Orange chicken looked similar in the containers but the tastes were very different. I got them not spicy for the kids but I would have loved to see how much heat they put in these dishes since its a Szechuan type restaurant. We tasted the heat in the mixed veggies and it was really nice, it packed a punch but not so much it was inedible, just enough to help keep you hydrated! The veggies tasted fresh, not overcooked, nor over sauced. The dumplings were gorgeous, I really enjoyed them, my wife thinks they were a little shy on the flavor, but I enjoyed the texture, especially with the crystal noodles inside! I got distracted by the kids about 4 times while writing this, I hope it makes sense. Overall the food was great, I enjoyed everything we got, look forward to trying it again, new items next time, and I will definitely be coming here often in the future! read more

First time visiting the restaurant but I've ordered here many times and it never disappoints. The fried rice is chefs kiss. Best vegetable fried rice I've ver had. Sesame chicken is my all time favorite. They are very generous with the portions and the service is immaculate, they are so attentive even right before closing read more

Hunan Star - Sesame chicken - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is an authentic Chinese restaurant. The food is delicious. The ambience is very quaint. It reminds me of a Chinese restaurant I used to go to when I was a little girl back in the 80s. I love how they have kept the decor the same and have not changed, I think that's what brings character to this place. I'm usually a fan of New York Chinese food but I'm pretty happy that there is a Chinese restaurant that is down the street from my house in Clear Lakes City. read more

I ordered the battered less General Tso for lunch and it was too saucy. I would have preferred less sauce however, liked having the option. The won ton and egg roll were better than the entrée. I must note that their menu does have a price increase and nothing like what is posted in these pics. My apologies for not taking pics but if you're familiar with my reviews I'm bad about taking pics because I'm too busy enjoying the moment or not. read more

Ordered chicken chow mein online, only options it gives is for rice (which is required). Figured that would be on the side in addition to the noodles. So now I get soggy chicken and rice! Atleast the general tso's chicken is good! read more

I made the mistake of trying it again - and again, it was terrible. General's chicken was so overcooked it was like rubber. Very little sauce included. The left out the regular rice, and I got fried rice instead - which was dry and tasteless. They ignored my request for hot oil on the side, as usual. They also ignored my request for plastic ware. This place was great years ago, but it is just not good anymore. Food is bad and they don't seem to care. smh read more

Worst Chinese food we've ever had. Soups are all clear like water, have absolutely no stock, seasoning, or flavor at all. They heated up water, mixed in egg whites and thickened it with cornstarch. Absolutely nothing else in the recipe. I called and the lady says that's all it's made with. So disappointing. Now I remember why we haven't been back on 16 years. Don't waste your money. read more

Overall: I wouldn't bother eating here. I decided to check this place out since a lot of people order it from my job. Worst mistake this week I ordered the mixed vegetables with steamed rice (even though my gut told me to get steamed veggies) and the sauce that was sautéed with the vegetables was unappealing.. the rice was basic. I also got the chicken and shrimp with cashew nuts and fried rice. My boyfriend said it was decent, I thought it was below standard. The meals came with a choice of soup we got wonton soup, which was ok. Also came with choice of egg roll or cheese puff. We chose cheese puffs. That was the best thing to me... the cheese puffs. In addition all the "sauce" spilled from the vegetables into the bag, not fun. So sad because I was hungggrrryyyy. read more

First of all the lady in the front was very nice to me. The place is a hole in the wall at the end of a store strip next to another restaurant. Ive been here 7 times and the restaurant looks quiet, comfy and relaxing. The food. My wife has the shrimp fried rice and swears its the best. She also gets vegetable dumplings she loves the food. I get the general TSO chicken it's absolutely awesomeness. The egg rolls are just decent but i wish I could dip them in a red sauce.(they give out packets of sweet and sour instead) overall the place gets four stars one less because i wish they delivered read more

I've been coming here for 40+ years. I used to come here about once a month until a place came along that has my kind of General Tso's Chicken. They have very good Chinese food, but my favorite is General Tso's Chicken and the way theirs is prepared doesn't appeal to me. I always get the hot shredded pork here, which is excellent. They've begun to suffer because a giant CVS drug store was built directly in front of them, blocking view from the street. So as time passes people forget they're there. Also it has stripped the parking from immediately in front, so you have to park a little distance away. This is all too bad because they're probably the best Chinese restaurant in the area. Oh yes, other than Jack-in-the-Box, they have the best egg rolls in the area -- probably because they're crisp, but why-ever they're good. ___ We've Eaten Out Every Meal for 30 years read more

Being stuck in the house all day and not being able to go to restaurants Hunan Star made the to go orders only procedure very easy. Delicious hot food when we got home. I have ordered many things and it is always great. Tonight seemed to be extra great. General Tso's Chicken, Chicken LoMein, Beef and Broccoli are usually good no matter where you go, but at Hunan Star is was top notch. Thank you for making it so easy to order and pick up the food. read more

Hands down, the best Chinese restaurant in the Houston area in my book. I've been dining here for more than a decade, and the place hasn't lost a step. Came here for din din before heading to school to study. I had the combination fried rice and the steam pork dumplings. The fried rice is why I love Hunan. It's tasty, plentiful, and can be a meal all by itself since they put a more than ample amount of meat in it. Hunan's staff is the epitome of customer service. They never forget their customers' names even if it has been a while. read more

This is the worst Chinese cantonese style food I have ever had. And I'm a food person. This place should be shut down gross waste of money ppl. Food from the dumpster would be better read more

Well the service was ok. The waitress was SUPER attentive which was borderline ANNOYING!! I was the only person dining at the time but I would have liked to enjoy my meal. The spring rolls were flavorless unless you spiced them up yourself. Portion size on the fried rice was nice but I didn't finish it all, nor did I take it home. Needless to say I won't be returning. read more

Called to ask why they added an additional charge (less than $3) to my doordash order and was told it was because I substituted fried rice for steamed rice, which is an upcharge. I have no problem with that, but when I tried to tell her that there was no upcharge on the app, she started to argue with me. When I finally got to say what I was trying to say, I told her that one of the meals did have an upcharge on the app for fried rice, but the second meal did not. I really don't care about a charge of less than 3 dollars, but let me at least speak without being interrupted. I again tried telling her this, but she got mad and told me, "Whatever, contact doordash for refund." Then she told me to never order from Hunan Star again and hung up on me. I called back and asked to speak to the manager and was told that she was the manager. I asked to speak to the owner and was told the owner does not speak English. I've been coming to hunan Star since I was in high school and have never had an issue like this. She's definitely right about one thing. I will never be ordering from there again. You don't tell your patrons "whatever" and hang up on them when they are simply TRYING to bring a problem to your attention. read more

Hunan Star is perfect and I will hear no slander about them. I know at the end of the day that they're really just another local Chinese takeout place, but I've been coming here for over 20 years at this point and they've never done me wrong. They're a mainstay of the Clear Lake area, and that deserves a lot of credit. read more

Found this gem on yelp while on vacation. Everything was good and we tried a whole sample of things. Fried cream cheese wontons, egg rolls and pan fried dumplings to start. Nothing extra special about the wontons and egg rolls but good. The dumplings were obviously hand made and came out fresh and hot-yum. Then we had the combination fried rice (yum!), sesame chicken and beef with snow peas. The sesame chicken had a great flavor, not overloaded with batter and no gristle. The beef in the snow peas was fork tender and delicious. read more

Great neighborhood Chinese food. The food is pretty good and consistent. Friendly staff and quick pick up times. P

I don't eat a large variety of food and I get a couple of dishes here that I really enjoy but the chicken fried rice is amazing. I live about 30 minutes away and I drive past a dozen other restaurants just to get their chicken fried rice. This isn't a flashy place but there's just something about a restaurant with a bar inside that just makes the atmosphere interesting. read more

Amazing food, made with orange chicken is made with real chicken breast and perfectly crunchy

We ate here last week and could not wait to come back. They were very kind tonight to allow us to dine in even though we arrived 25 minutes before closing for dine-in. They have take-out order up to 9:45pm. We eat vegan and low fat. So they are so nice to make sure we have the food the way we like it. read more

Hunan Star - Vegan Lo Mien and vegetable fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

First and last time eating here. The place inside looks like a dungeon, I knew we should have walked out but you never can tell a restaurant by it's decor, right! Service was good but should have been cause we were the only ones in there. Ordered sweet and sour delight which included pork, chicken, and shrimp! Pork had no flavor and was dry as dirt as was the chicken. Tasted the shrimp and was afraid to eat it. Fried rice was forgotten but when it did arrive it was over fried as were the egg rolls, burned on the ends! Paid the bill, apologized to my wife as I chose the place. Never again! I have no earthly idea how they got a 4 star rating unless all the reviews are from friends and family! This isn't the first time I've been Yelped on Yelp!! read more

5 stars for their house special pan-fried noodles! Go with their non-typical entrees on their Specialties section, like the Crispy Duck, Triple Delight or Four Delight, or the Bird Nests. *Typical means Gen Tso's, Sweet&Sour, or Sesame/Orange Flavor anything that can be found at a Panda Express read more

Hunan Star - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

We love this local Chinese restaurant! My hubby and I always do take-out from here! The service is phenomenal and the staff is friendly. We always call ahead on our way home and the orders typically take 15-20 minutes for pickup. Everything from the hot & sour soup, dumplings down to the chicken & garlic are great. The fried rice is delicious and pairs well with everything. I always opt for an eggroll and the fresh spicy mustard (extremely hot for those looking for mild flavor). The portions are rather large, perfect for sharing! This place totally deserves 5 stars! Thanks for serving up some great Chinese food! read more

Best available Chinese in the area that is not Pei Wei (sorry hardcore authenticity seeking Chinese food people - that is as good as it gets out in this zip code.) The extra charge for brown rice rather than white rice is an annoyance. The kung pao shrimp also comes loaded down with peanuts, like a truckload. Meanwhile the red peppers are spartan and if you know me, I like me some red peppers. The shrimp is acceptable quality, not amazing, but not worth insulting either. The orange chicken is pretty decent. It is unfortunately never spicy no matter how many exclamation points you issue on the order that you want it SPICY!!!!!!!!! But still the sauce is tasty, the onions round out the sauce, the chicken is pretty good quality for a"fast food" kinda' place, and there is a better ratio of red peppers here than in the kung pao shrimp. Take out is always a good option here if you are too lazy to cook. And of course, this place issues a lot of coupons in the junk mailers so find yourself a coupon and come give it a try - it is better than Panda Express. read more

Our GO-TO place for Chinese cooking in our neighborhood. We order takeout about every two weeks, and it is always HOT, FRESH, DELICIOUS. And any sorry, sad-face comments on their food should be ignored completely. We love their Chicken Chow Mien, barbecued pork-rice, and their egg rolls are simply second to none! Reasonable prices and great service make us happy, too. read more

Food is always in good quality and prepared quickly. This is our go-to for ordering in.

Had lunch here based on Yelp reviews as I am not normally in this area. Generals Chicken and eggroll were excellent. The fried rice was a bit unusual, but I ended up mixing it with the chicken which made for a great combo. Will definitely eat here again when in the area. read more
