Yeah you have to give it up for Hunan Garden. All of the dishes i have had form this place are deelish! The service leaves a little to be desired but hey lifes not perfect, and the food more then makes up for it. We frequent this place at least two or three times a month, enough said.

Feeling hungry for Chinese food and not knowing where to go I did a Citisearch wow am I glad I did! Looking at star ratings I found the Hunan Garden so I thought I would trust the high rating by other members. Well here is the low down food is way above average everything was fresh and tasty. Parking on the other hand is cramped and inadequate if you have a small car it’s possible, if you drive an escalade SUV you better use street parking or risk bent fenders. Pricing not too bad and value very high for the $ spent. Cocktails were pricy at $8 but you did get a lot of booze in your drink so again it was fair by today’s standards. Overall I have to say A- and since I am writing this the next day I was happy I didn’t get the indigestion usually associated with Chinese foods! So give it a try I doubt you will be disappointed!

Pros: Great food at a good value

Cons: Parking was really inadequite

As it is very near my work streetwerkedotcom I eat here about once a week for lunch. I imagine it's pretty standard lunch special fare. Hot and sour soup, an egg roll, rice, your entree, hot tea, water. Your bill arrives with orange segments and a fortune cookie. The cost is usually $7.52. Each table has salt, white pepper, soy sauce, some black bean hot chili oil and some sweet and sour sauce. I think the elements that stand out for me after 2 years of eating here are the consistency and the excellent service provided by enthusiastic people. What I like most is just chucking the menu and asking my server "what should I get?" I have found this to be a very rewarding approach. How else would have I discovered the bliss that is "Pork Chop Soup Noodle"? Your basic broth with noodles, veggies and some very thinly sliced pork chops (about 1/4" thick) lightly floured and 5 spiced, flash fried and placed on top of the soup bowl. Very yummy. Ask about the Hunan Chicken - White meat, sauteed with cabbage and leeks in the chef's hot sauce. I routinely get the negative head wag. "No, don't get that." The decor is very pleasant and understated. Various aquariums and fish tanks hint that seafood is the specialty of the house and the big dollar items such as lobster, local crab and langoustines are alive until you order them. The outside garden area is wonderful on a warm summer night or an overcast winter day. Plenty of shade and gas heaters make this a very versatile and enchanting seating area all year round. Customer service is what really sets this place apart for me. Service is snappy but one doesn't feel rushed. You don't like a particular ingredient? Just tell them, they will make even the most standard sweet and sour pork to your exact liking. So if you need your Audi or VW serviced call streetwerke and then go to Hunan Garden for lunch/dinner. Tell them "Jeff" sent you . . .

Pros: Everything you go out to dine for

Cons: Parking, easy if you're not yapping on the phone

This has been my favorite Hunan Chinese resturant for years. The owner used to be involved in Hunan Homes, then he opened this place. So I'm talking 10 years of happy eating. I've never had a bad dish here.

Pros: GReat food and service.

Cons: parking can be a problem

So I am a huge Chinese Food Fan and have been going here for 4 years. Love their Orange peel chicken, black pepper steak with eggplant and hunan string beans. They know us so well that we dont even have to get a menu cause we always order the same thing. All my friends really like it. I think we have played ourselves out after 4 years, but if your new to this place I give it a thumbs up!

Excellent food, good vegetarian selection. The food here is a little pricier than most Chinese restaurants, but it's well worth the extra expense. Try the sizzling rice soup and walnut prawns! One caveat, I haven't been as satisfied with the quality of the lunch meals there...
