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.

The homemade DanDan noodles were our favorite, which are served with ground pork in a spicy peanut sauce. We also got the three cup chicken which was so good, with a sweet, licorice-like glaze. Some other favorites were the black pepper chicken and the long hot chicken, if you enjoy spice. We had the ginger and scallion dish and was not our favorite, as the chicken had a unique consistency and was quite limp. Overall, good service and a relaxing ambiance in a bustling city.

The food is consistently strong, and the signature dan dan noodles are a must-order. We also tend to get the chicken potstickers, scallion pancake, kung pao chicken, and dry pot beef, along with white rice for the table. It's a menu that rewards repeat visits. We've had both takeout and dine-in here, and we definitely prefer dining in. The food is at its best when it comes straight out of the kitchen. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and kind without being overbearing. For seating, we prefer the cozy but small upstairs dining area, so making a reservation on OpenTable is usually a good idea. There are a few high-top tables downstairs near the kitchen and windows, which are also great, but if you prefer a quieter or cozier spot, we think the upstairs is best. They also offer a happy hour with good prices, and overall, the value for the food quality is excellent. We often bring out-of-town guests, and it's always a hit. Sichuan cuisine remains distinct from typical American Chinese, which helps Dan Dan stand out. We've also noticed their Ardmore location, which appears to be a strong alternative. Consistently good, well-run, unique, and worth visiting, especially for the dan dan noodles. Highly recommended and hope to be back soon!

We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.
