Reviews for Hunan Cafe in Fairfax, VA
This was my first time at this restaurant, went on 10/11 and had to return the food and asked for a refund on 10/13. I ordered... egg drop soup, lunch portion of chicken fried rice and beef lo mein. You can see from the photos that there is visible mold onthe scrambled eggs and on the noodles. The manager asked if I refrigerated the food, which of course I did, but as you canclearly see that mold doesn?t grow in just 3 days. I was refunded my money but I?ll never return. Please check your food beforeyou eat it. Read more
Love this place. The food is always fresh and delicious, and their prices are very reasonable. Not too salty like a lot of other... Chinese food places. I can recommend the combination fried rice, lo mein, and orange chicken. The sugar donuts appetizer isgreat too. Read more
The OG hard working owners of the local Hunan Cafe's. Their kids helping at the cashier while studying at the resturant. Their... mom patiently listened to my Grandma over the phone and asked Chef to recreate a Fujian dish ??? for her birthday. "Just as Iremembered it!" sweet and sour pineapple pork from her growing up while accommodating for her lo-sodium needs & even subbingchinese broccoli, tofu on her lo-mein. Non-greasy, generous portions and lunch specials. Read more
The food here I've found to be a little different from the usual Chinese fare. While I miss the huge egg rolls (this place's egg... rolls are more spring rolls, very crispy but with thin rice paper) we've enjoyed everything we've tried from here. The currydishes are unique. The dumpling sauce is great. The crispy beef is wonderfully crispy, if a bit too sweet. They have somelighter, healthier options in addition to all the classic dishes, with their own take on them. The service is wonderful andfast, I have only had great experiences. Read more
It wasn?t necessarily bad but it?s not what I was looking for. Chinese take out to me isn?t supposed to be healthy food. When... someone created these recipes they didn?t say, let?s use low-sodium salt and all white-meat chicken. It messes with it and to meit makes it worse. To me this is like beyond burgers and impossible meat but in Chinese food. Yea it?s close and it?s not thatbad, but it will never be as good as the real stuff. Read more
It?s delicious! I was expecting one big sesame ball, but it?s actually a bunch of tiny ones! This is exactly what I?ve been... craving for months. Serving size was good, especially since you could share one meal with 2-3 people. The inside is small, soI suggest using the takeout or delivery options. Read more
We had a delivery order and received surprisingly freshly cooked and delicious food. The person who took the order was courteous... and relayed the particular message that came with the order really well. Read more
Good food. Sauce is not too sweet and the rice is light and fluffy. I like the texture of the rice, and the containers it comes... in. Their lunch menu especially is very reasonably priced. It's a little on the greasier side, but it doesn't ruin theexperience at all. It's tricky to find at first-around the corner, tucked in behind some other stores-but small places like thatare usually the best anyway. Read more
