For the area, very solid Chinese experience. Believe it or not, having lived in the area for close to 20 years, I've never tried this spot. I'm glad that I was craving dumplings and drove past on this particular night. After having driven past forever... I loved how easy it was to navigate online ordering. Straight forward and no tricks. I like that they let you know what time your order will be ready through text. Lots of parking right in front... not the friendliest customer service experience, but, hey.. I was just there to pick up my order. Food was on point. We really enjoyed all of it: Dumplings were tasty with a wonderful dipping sauce that I'd like to put on everything Shrimp toast was crispy/chewy with great flavor Cheese wontons were good The star of the show was my shrimp and eggplant in garlic sauce. Shrimp was huge and perfectly cooked--eggplant cubes were just cooked just right as well--I love their garlic sauce, the only thing is that I could've used more of it to coat the rice. I think that I've found my spot. read more

The family was craving Chinese tonight. I normally dont eat Chinese on Mondays because our regular place is closed but one family member was insisting so off we went. We used to do take out quite often from Hunan Wok in Milltown, NJ. We had stopped going there so long ago that I had forgotten why. Tonight I was reminded. The good: to be fair, the food is so darn good. I actually wish it wasn't because the bad things made me say to the family once again, "I'm not ordering from there any more." I kept my order simple with Beef and Broccoli. The sauce was so savory its actually amazing. They cooked the broccoli just like I like it--- it snaps when you bite it and it's crunchy when you chew it. The broccoli tops soak up that sauce and the flavor hits you like a truck. The beef is tender and fresh and has the most wonderful flavor. So what's so bad you ask? The bad: my number one pet peeve in food service is customer interaction. I obviously prefer the Mickey Dees standard service with a smile. But I am also fine with just transactional professionalism. You get neither here. The counter is covered by an angry and disgruntled teenage girl (owner's daughter) who clearly would rather be anywhere else than there taking customer orders. She's rude, obnoxious and acts like whatever you are saying is a great bother to her. The experience includes annoyed hand gestures and my personal favorite--- the eye rolls. After placing the order, she THREW the card reader on the counter. I would normally give someone a second chance, but this is not the first time I witnessed one of her performances. Also, the place now has a very dirty appearance with lots broken stuff. The working fridge is dirty, has missing pieces and is storing unidentifiable items. The second fridge is broken and used for storing stuff. The furniture appears badly chipped and worn. The waiting room is the dining area so you get all this eye candy including a view of a side room that is stuffed with boxes. To summarize, it's a DUMP. See pics Overall Rating: C- I should have rated it a D but the food is so good, I bumped it up. read more

See all

Food is always fresh. Shrimp big and plump. Delivery within 20-30 mins. If you use their online app, super easy. Every dish I have had from them is top tier. And their sauces they make from scratch. read more

Good food and price is better than any other place I've tried in the neighborhood so far. Would have given a five but they forgot my soda and I wasn't going to have them come back for just a soda. They said they'll give me another soda next order. We'll see. We'll def order from them again read more

I've been there twice for their lunch special. It was good. I had the General Tso's Chicken combo with a soda. Fairly priced, good portions.

My boyfriend and I get chinese food from here all the time, and the food is great! It always comes hot, and fresh. The staff and service are also good. read more

Very average Chinese food. I got a chicken noodle soup, a wonton soup, a chicken chow fun, and an egg roll. Three of the four items tasted pretty good. The lone so/so item was the chow fun. It tasted kind of bland and the noodles were congealed. At least it was not a big portion. If I were to order here again I would just stick with the soups. It also helped that the delivery was quick and affordable considering the overall meal. read more

Wow- this was really good! Wife and I both loved the dumplings and the dipping sauce. Scallion pancakes were excellent. Veg lo mein also very tasty. Spare ribs were overdone and the crab rangoon were a bit fishy, so -1 for that. Kung Po chicken was nice and spicy and the mongolian beef was delicious. I really enjoyed this meal. Top marks. read more

Ordered the Szechuan Ming shrimp it was tasty but the Singapore chow mein noodles was all noodles and short on meat and noodles. It's a take out only so can't rate the table service or ambiance. read more

Everything was good, but the only thing was that the Chinese donuts were burnt. We couldn't even bite into them because they were so burnt. read more

Hunan Wok Restaurant - Chinese 19. 10 Pieces Sweet Donut - Chinese Near Me - Milltown, New Jersey

The girl who picked up the phone today jan 2, 2021 6pm was beyond rude. If you don't want to work, quit. If you don't like your job, look for something else that'll make you happy. Don't make everyone else miserable. You single handedly can make this establishment closed. I'm guessing she might be the daughter of the owner, know that your parents works hard to pay for the house you live in, the clothes you wear, and the food you eat. read more

Hands down the BEST Chinese I've eaten outside of NYC. I was born and raised there. I've lived in East Brunswick for eight years now. I never thought I'd find that NYC Chinese food. If you're a native five borough New Yorker you'll know when I say it's a hole in the wall old school walk in Chinese joint. I'd give it 10 stars if I could ! read more

"I have a blah feeling - I need tea or something," said my co-worker after eating her meal from Hunan Wok. Before I get too far into this, we had take out, it was delivered in a reasonable amount of time, and everything that we ordered was included in the bag. That part of it was all good. My team has unanimously decided to give our experience 2 stars, because truly - meh - we've experienced better. Overall the food was just food. There was nothing special about it that we could find. The sauces were generally overly think and the crab rangoons seemed as if they sat out for a long time. If you are looking for delivery in the area, I would search for another option before hitting up the Hunan Wok. read more

Hunan Wok Restaurant - a plate of chinese food - Chinese Near Me - Milltown, New Jersey

Hate when a go-to goes south and unfortunately that's what's happened here. This place doesn't pretend to be authentic and caters to the clueless Caucasian local crowd of gelatinous glop stopper devourer. With that being said we've been ordering take out here for 8 years. We used to especially dig their roast pork lo mein. The past 3 or 4 occasions have rendered a product bland and mushy. Disappointing to say the very least. The Shrimp chow mein again bland and yearning for sodium, which we applied generously via soy sauce, but still didn't quite cut the egg roll. Boneless dry spare ribs another fail. Egg drop soup another box checked in the bland dept., sooo disappointed. Complacency all too often sets in with these busy takeout joints and I fear that's the recipe to their demise. I called to let them know who I was and after the past 4 occasions how very unhappy we have gotten with their product and that their long history of Americanized Chinese cuisine has gone significantly downhill. They did offer a free roast pork lo mein next time. A 2 star descent because the food is edible at least, just tasteless and mush. My gut feel here...............there won't be a next time. Pass. read more

We used to like this place but it's gone downhill last month we ordered food and obviously they had run out of vegetables except for broccoli so they put broccoli in everything including the vegetable egg foo Yung they told us that we could come back and they would replace the meals when we did return they lied and they chargest for one of the meals and at 1st they even said that the picture that we showed them was from another place The tofu Was overcooked and the egg foo Young tasted old. We also saw them take food back which we heard is it illegal during a pandemic It is best to stay away from this place read more

Delicious consistency. That's what you get from Hunan. Call at any time of day or night and your order will be ready in exactly 10 minutes. Your order will be correct. The portions will be huge - enough for 2-3 meals. The food is what you might expect - Chicken and Broccolli, General Tso's, egg rolls, etc. There's nothing particularly exotic on Hunan's Bill of Fare. The lady will sound abrupt when she answers the phone. But, that's okay. She happens to be very nice in person. And, while staff members may be short on phone pleasantries, they are long on time management skills. This can be a very high volume business and they deftly manage many orders/customers at the same time. I'd swear everyone who works here is a Six Sigma black belt. Some Hunan success tips: Don't eat your food there. The glum decor is reminiscent of a prison cafeteria. Instead, take your steaming bag of food and enjoy it in the comfort of your home or nearby office. This is purely a take out joint, and certainly never a place you'd bring a date. When you go to pick up the food, give the last four digits of your phone number. That's how they keep track of orders. They don't bother writing down your name. Grab your own packets of sauce. You can have as many as you would like, but they don't put them in the bag for you. You have to do it yourself. Tea (bags) are also available for your enjoyment on the far end of the counter (the one opposite the beverage case). read more

Ordered general tso with all white meat and I got basically a vegetarian dish. There was almost 0 meat in the entire dish. It was literally 97% corn starch or batter. I paid an additional dollar to get all white meat too...I threw it out and ate something else. I never leave reviews but had to after getting this ripped off read more

Great option for Chinese food. Take out or delivery for sure. I couldn't see dining in as it is a small store front with a few tables. I order from here often, usually for dinner. Today, I had lunch. Of course, they offer a lunch special. The prices vary, but I got my lunch choice, rice and a soup for $5.80. Pretty good deal. There was more than enough food to satisfy me. This place is right down the street from our house, which makes it even better. The woman at the front counter is always nice and somehow always knows which order is mine, without me even telling her! I pretty much have had a little of everything from shrimp to beef, chicken and an array of appetizers. I don't have a complaint about anything. I prefer white meat chicken, so I make sure to specifically request that if ordering a chicken dish. If you order shrimp and wonder if it's deveined, like I always wonder, it's not. I find most places don't, so I just don't order shrimp anymore. You won't be disappointed! read more

Food is great... definitely will be ordering from here again! We had the hot & spicy soup, great for this season! Egg drop soup ... and my in law love their pork ribs.... taste amazing! It's a definitely recommended to order! read more

This place gives you huge portions. Yes, the prices are a little steeper than most Chinese Takeout spots, but honestly the amount you get for the price is incredible. My friend and I got takeout, it ran us about $30. Pretty high, right? Well it fed us for THREE DINNERS, plus a late night snack. My only complaint is that I ordered my entree extra spicy, like I usually do, and it was in no way spicy, much less extra spicy. I hate the hoops I have to go through to let Asian restaurants know I'm down with the spice and I do, in fact, understand what I am asking for. read more

This place was never great Chinese-American food, but it used to be good enough -- not anymore. Talking strictly takeout. Even when ownership changes, many Chinese takeouts keep the same name and same menu, and it looks like an ownership change a year ago or so is the cause of a drop in food quality. But judging Hunan Wok with all this in mind, it's just worse than before. It's sad to see this as I have been eating there a long time. The real question right now is, in the area, where is the good enough Chinese takeout? I'm not sure there is one . . . read more

Th last two months have been terrible. I am a regular customer, but the sevice has been horrible. I don't understand the delay, when I order 20 minutes ahead of time. They need more help at the counter, and should not have a grammar school girl answering phone and doing cashier. Rob read more

This used to be our main Chinese place but a few months ago the quality of the food went way down. The pork fried rice was dry and the general Tso's and sesame chicken were undersauced. The egg rolls were super oily. We tried again after that one experience and it was the same. The inside of the restaurant hasn't been remodeled in my memory and it seems a little dirty. Now on a quest to find Chinese takeout to replace it. read more

Was the absoloute Worst general TSO's Tofu I have ever eaten, The tofu was flat instead of cubes I've never eaten that this way it didn't even taste good I threw it right out The tofu was flat instead of cubes I've never eaten that this way it didn't even taste good I threw it right out read more

I think Chinese food is probably the hardest thing to get out Bc something gross always happens whether the place is dirty or the food is skeevy. I haven't had Chinese in a few years due to this. However I've been craving it so bad so on Good Friday I decided to get mixed vegetable and vegetable fried rice. It was so good and fresh and not too greasy at all. I also had vegetable dumplings steamed which were great. The woman working was so friendly and the place was really clean! read more

Up until about early October, Hunan Wok was our Sunday "watching the race" go to for Chinese food. We had been doing it so long, the girl taking the orders knew what we wanted and sometimes would double check if we switched things up. Then they got bought out. Everyone, from the counter girl to the cooks, were gone. Three women were doing the work that one girl did. While my husband thought the new food was better tasting, what I ordered was horrible. The fried rice was pale and greasy. Chicken in Garlic Sauce and almost no sauce. I order it with broccoli only but they can't seem to understand that. I gave them 3 chances. We're looking for another place. read more

Your typical chinese takeout, but this spot is one of my favorites. The staff are nicer than other restaurants and their food is great! I usually always order for delivery put at times I'll pick up. Not a 5 star review because I think the spot can be a little bigger. read more

This is a very good place nearby. My delivery was hot and everything. The Hot & Sour soup was made with fresh mushrooms and tasted great.

This used to be my go to place for years. There was a shift in ownership, and although the food is still good, the delivery guy is very rude and definitely put me off from there! He will haggle you for more tips and will insult you if you don't give in. They should definitely pick another person to interact with their customers so they don't lose more business. read more

The food is pretty good but the delivery service is terrible!! The guy that makes the delivery is rude!! On more then one occasion and then expect you to tip him for his rudeness!! Just on the strength of that I will never have serve from this place again!!! read more

I second the opinion of other reviews here. Hunan Wok has been our go to Chinese take-out for years- at least for the past 20 years or so. With some obvious change in ownership/management over the past year or two the food has really gone downhill. My wife had been saying this for months, but I figured it was an "exception" , not the standard. After all after 20 years of take-out, I figured they could be allowed a mistake. But the food we got this past weekend was just gross. We started getting scallion pancakes recently, in this case, they were just sponges for grease lacking any flavor. My old favorites, steamed dumplings, were basically the frozen type you would find at costco. I also feel the need to share my ordering experience, honestly they just seemed overwhelmed whenever I ordered recently. Completely disjointed when trying to take our order over the phone, I've had to have them repeat the order back to me to make sure they get it right. In addition, even after asking how long the wait is show up for pick up (they've had a habit of just hanging up after they get the order) I end up standing around for another 20. Probably the last time we order there, just like any pizza places, plenty of other places in the area to go to who do it better. read more

Located 1/2 mile from my house I often walk to Hunan. I like my food as fresh as possible so I never get delivery, and hardly ever call it in . I like to walk in and order. The girl at the front is always smiles and will make anything I order spicy or spicier. She doesn't just take the orders and make it my problem is they screw up. Last time I watched her observe the cooks and make sure they added proper spice to my food. We all have our go to Chinese menu items and they make everything up to or above par. read more

This is one of the places that I go to regularly. The owners and workers are very friendly everytime we go in. Not to mention the hot and sour soup which is delicious compared to other soups I have had in the past. Also the brocolli with garlic sauce never disappoints and tastes the same each time it is made. I highly recommend this place-it's worth the trip! read more

Quintessential take-out Chinese food. After growing accustomed to the awesome, cheap Chinese food in Jersey City, I realized I've become spoiled. Most of the Chinese in the E. Brunswick - Miltown area just doesn't cut it. This place is one of few exceptions, and my new go to spot. Pretty much everything I've tried from Hunan Wok has been good. The lady is at the front is friendly, and you can grab your own sauce. The place itself doesn't look great. It's not very new or flashy, but that's why you cant judge a book on its cover. read more

The worker was disgustingly rude, he started yelling and then screaming in his language to the point where he almost threw the food. A disgusting experience, appetite was even lost. read more

The service was good and the prices are really cheap. As a high school student, they allowed me to order from the For-College-Students-Only menu, which gave you a dish over rice and a drink for only $6. They even added something onto that menu that I wanted on the spot. They cooked quickly and the food was good read more

This was s great take out place but in the past few months I have not had s decent meal. It's awful!

This place is ridiculous. First off, it's not sanitary at all, second it is impossible to order from them because none of the workers understand english. They are very rude and insist on giving you a very hard time to order. It took me 20 minutes just to order from them. read more

Love their food! It's difficult finding a Chinese take out place that you are satisfied with in your area but this one is great! They have trouble remembering sauce and fortune cookies sometimes when they deliver to us, but their food tastes great and they're quick and nice when we pick up read more

We found this place by accident after so many other Chinese places closed down during the last 23 years. It is always good and reliable . The lady at the counter remembers that my husband likes their special mustard and its an open kitchen so you can see them cooking. read more
