Me and hubby been getting Takeout from Hunan Star for a while now. We used to ordered deliveries very often when we used to live a few blocks away. They were very friendly everytime we go. The food is pretty consistent. I was hooked on their edmame for a very long time. Call me lazy, I didn't want to boil my own beans lol. Hubby's stable was Shrimp with broccoli, pizza rolls, and steak rolls. Mine were chicken wings, edmame, scallion pancake, and shumai. Scallion pancake are so good when they are hot, they were pan fried to perfection, yum. Nothing too spectacular, but it is Americanized Chinese food, so no complaints from me:)

This is about the best it gets right around my neighborhood. The food is not bad and the portions are incredible. The establishment is kept clean enough. The staff is friendly enough. The restaurant always seems to be empty for some reason. I dont get it. Nothing Amazing here. We come here with the whole family and have a good meal. We all joke around as loud as we want because of the fact that we have the whole place to ourselves. Check it out for yourself. It's not bad.

bleh. My first thoughts upon entering were, "forget this man...." It was EMPTY and there was a bit of a smell. BUT, because of the reviews, I decided to stick it out and give it a shot. I got my go to; boneless spareribs, with white rice. Chinese food is USUALLY pretty universal; the lo mein over there, tastes just like the lo mein over there. The spare ribs I got at Hunan Star were trash. They were bone dry and had ZERO FLAVOR. Zero flavor. My entire meal tasted like white rice. The ribs had no sauce. They were just red, positively flavorless hunks of meat. The only reason I'm not dropping the one star hammer is because it wasn't disgusting, it was just like eating nothing. I'm sure I can find a different Chinese food place to go to instead of this one.

We really enjoyed our visit here and were lucky to get a table since we didn't have reservations…read more We arrived near the beginning of the dinner crowd on a Monday or else we probably would have been turned away as it filled up fast. The inside is fairly basic but not in a cheap way. Service was a bit slower due to how busy they were, but it wasn't bad. The dishes that come out of the kitchen look like they could be served in an upscale restaurant. My orange chicken was great, but you do need to order rice separately. My husband's beef and onion had a LOT of onion, and much of it was still on the plate when he finished. He enjoyed it though. One of my sons ordered a chicken dish that was just a large plate of chicken pieces with nothing else, not even a sauce. We both thought it was too dry and boring. My second son had lo mein though and really liked it. The scallion pancakes were also some of the best I've had in a long time. They were thick and not too greasy with a crisp outside and soft center. I just wish they had more scallions/flavor. The prices were higher than what we are used to, but they're probably in line or even lower end for a big city. Four of us ate for $100.

Booth seating was comfortable and room to move around. Started with a mojito and margarita both were light and refreshing. Placed an order for the dumpling in chili oil and shrimp spring rolls. Both dishes came out piping hot with the dumplings filled with meat and the spring roll packed with veggies and a few shrimp. Service was so quick we were able to make it to our next appointment on time. Bathroom rating: 4.5/5

This was my first time meeting her, but it felt like I have known her for some time. She recommended something for me to try next time -- the "Fresh EarthV Trio (V)" a popular classic Northeastern dish. I'm definitely adding that to my list. What keeps me coming back? It's the consistency -- the service, cost, portion, and most importantly, the flavor. After my shift at work, I genuinely look forward to that first bite of my Dry Chili Pepper Tofu. Moments like this remind me... it's not just about food, it's about connection, consistency, dietary friendly and having a place that hits every time. Thanks Evie!

(Note: if you only want smaller serving of their great, thick noodles, order $4 add-on as a side in place of rice with regular dish.) I always have leftovers to enjoy at home. Dumpling orders are large and shareable. (Always 6 or 8 pieces.) My fave when dining in is amazingly delicious and huge Fish Fillet in Hot and Sour Cabbage Broth. (That's best with rice side to help absorb broth.) So good and healthful to balance the dough density of whatever dumplings you might also order -- they're all great. When getting order to go (or delivered) I like Kung Pao Chicken; it travels well. Order added green veggie dish for sharing -- I lean toward Chinese Broccoli; you'll really want the balance with the delicious dumpling and noodle dishes. Large cocktail menu -- Lychee Martini is so refreshing. Important: cash only for dining in. There's an ATM by their front door. Takeout and delivery accepts credit cards. Most reasonably priced parking nearby (if you don't score a limited street spot) is ParkAmerica at 1040 Race St a few doors down. In fact, it was one of the valet guys in that garage who recommended Dim Sum Garden when I was seeking great Chinese option. (Thank you, Ceasar!)

I just get a feeling that the focus is on pushing alcoholic drinks rather than on the food. The pork buns felt like they were previously frozen and were very sweet. Shrimp dumplings tasted off. Service was never the star but it wasn't so dismissive either. Just a very bad experience and while I won't go back, I also don't want to rate them 1 star as that would be unfair. Their food now is no better than the next guy and that's disappointing. Cash only btw. I write this because they do not post signs and a couple tables had to go grab cash from their ATM machine.

However, I found that the meal didn't live up to what I remembered at the UCity Han Dynasty or the Sichuan food I've had at other spots. My partner and I ordered the dan dan noodles and double cooked pork belly to share, our longtime regular order. The portions were generous and prices were affordable, but both dishes fell short in some ways. The dan dan noodle sauce was mostly sesame-based with little of the chili heat I remembered, and there was only a bit of the ground pork topping. It left me wondering whether they hold off on the spice at this location due to the clientele, whether they changed the recipe, or whether it was just an off day. The pork in the double cooked pork was overcooked and tough, and the dish didn't have enough of the veggie components (leeks and peppers) to balance it out. Another minor nitpick - there was a World Cup game going on while we ate and the multiple downstairs TVs had the game on. The second floor where we were seated also had a nice big TV, yet it seemed to be left on a screensaver slideshow of random landscape photos. Would have been nice to watch the game! I was overall left feeling pretty meh about the meal. I'd give the UCity location another shot, but don't think I'd come back to the Old City one.
