Hunans Chinese Restaurant

Why is this place rated so low?…read more Is it because it's located at the end of a strip mall? Is it because it's not in a swanky part of town? I was greeted immediately upon entering the place. Within 2 minutes, my drink order was taken, and I was headed to a buffet. There were plenty of options that were obviously freshly prepared. When I mention "plenty," I mean several long tables of steaming food just ready to be devoured. I really do like this place, so why not 5 stars? They didn't lose a star because of the place being expensive. I was surprised about the pricing considering the amount of food you will get. They lost the star because I didn't get the Hibachi experience. No Hibachi to be found. It doesn't matter, though, Hibachi or no Hibachi, I would eat here again.

Foods just ok. Very bland. Fried rice was ok, but COLD! Table not on maybe? If you like spicy…read morethis not the place to come!

The entrees had a good flavor but everything was so greasy. I have never had so much grease in my…read morefood in all my life. Especially the egg rolls. They were literally solid grease. I had to throw them away. Too expensive to just have to throw them away, but I just couldn't stomach it. They had a good flavor, but I couldn't take the grease. Also, their seafood dish that was shrimp and scallops -- the scallops they show are in photos are the pretty sea scallops, but the scallops in this dish were so small, I couldn't even find them at first. I didn't know where they were. It was really misleading and very pricey to only get little tiny bay scallops that were smaller than pearl onions. I won't go back there.

It's been a while since my previous review, unfortunately the food hasn't gotten any better. Pan…read moreafter pan of pitiful offerings, every chicken dish was dry and stringy. The obviously frozen shrimp were overcooked to the point of chewiness. What little bit of meat in the entrees, whether it was chicken, shrimp, or beef, was crowded out by the vegetables. Even the battered and fried chicken pieces for sweet and sour chicken were dried out, and the sauce was a strange thick mess with very little flavor. I hoped the egg rolls would be the saving grace, because how hard would it be to mess up egg rolls? It turns out that it was pretty effortless to make egg rolls that suck, the wrappers weren't crispy, but the cabbage was under-cooked so it still had a bit of a bite, and again, didn't really have sweet and sour sauce, so I had to load up on soy sauce for the egg rolls. The service was- meh. I got one refill and two table visits while I was there, even tho there was only one other table with diners. All-in-all I'm pretty disgusted with what I got, it wasn't worth half of what ended up being $15 after the tip. I don't splurge very often, and certainly wish I could rewind and make another choice, but at least going forward I know I won't be returning to Chen's!

Every dish is packed with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and beautiful presentation. The pho is rich and aromatic, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the portions are generous. Their appetizers are just as impressive--crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. My wife ordered the Hue Tieu, and she absolutely loved it! The Bánh mì sandwiches are fantastic--loaded with meat and full of flavor. The egg rolls were crispy, hot, and delicious. Viet Fusion Eats & Drinks delivers excellent food, great service, and an overall fun dining experience. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! One tip: order ahead if you can--the food is worth it, but expect a 20-25 minute wait.
