    This was literally the worst Chinese food I ever had. The general Tso's chicken tasted so foul. Never again.

    I used to come here all the time as a staffer on Capitol Hill. Many, many deals and even…read morebipartisan legislation has been crafted in this restaurant. You'll be reminded of that as you walk up the stairs to the restaurant and see the wall filled of signed photos from lawmakers. Last time I came here, I felt like a VIP, there was literally no one there and I was alone dining in. At first, I felt sad for the restaurant, then I was happy to see there were A LOT of takeout orders. Both the vegetarian or shrimp rolls are great appetizers. Just keep in mind, an order is 2 rolls, so if you're ordering for a large group you'll need to order 3-5x. I must say every time, I get the Hot & Sour soup it's lukewarm. It's good but if you dine-in or order takeout, it's for sure going in the microwave. I LOVE their Peking Duck, always super meaty and crispy skin. One thing for you connoisseurs out there. The Peking Duck comes with thin pancake wraps, they look like tortillas but they're NOT tortillas. So don't expect those fluffy buns. You can also never go wrong w/ the Combination Lo Mien and Mongolian Beef. If you like spicy food, their General Tso's Chicken and Kung Pao Duet (chicken & shrimp) are great dishes to quench the spice hunger. This resturant also has two large banquet rooms that are perfect for large group.

    This review is only for take-out. I've never heard of Hunan Dynasty until I was searching for…read more"decent" Chinese restaurants in the Capitol Hill area. I was surprised by the online reviews from different platforms of how many Chinese locals raved about this place, so why not give it a try? I ordered a stir-fry Chicken cashew dish, eggplants, and a stir-fry beef with peppers. When I arrived at the restaurant for pick-up, I was surprised to see so many Chinese locals and neighborhood residents dining in-house. There was also a line of delivery drivers waiting to pick up food. Although the food took a long time, the server and boss were kind, asked me if I wanted to sit down and have some water while I waited. In terms of the food - the portion sizes were massive and delicious. Particularly the stir-fry beef with spicy peppers was so spicy which satiated my craving. I'd love to come back here and see what the dining experience is like.

    I loved the service! The lady at the counter was very nice and she was nice on the phone as well…read more She laughed and smiled a lot and gave me top tier customer service even though I was just picking it up. They do not have the option to dine in at the moment but picking up was pretty quick! Everything was ready as soon as I got there and I was able to hop out of my car and grab my food and get back in. (There's no parking) they have a lunch special from 11-2:00pm which was very affordable as well. It was clean inside and they get you in and out. I didn't have to ask for any extra sauce for anything, they put plenty of sauce in there and my broccoli wasn't hard, it was nice and soft enough to blend with the noodles and the chicken and everything was super tasty! I will definitely be back!
