This place has made a 180 since my first review many years ago. THE best Chinese carryout in the area now. The food is delicious, they get my ridiculously specific order modifications correct every time and they are incredibly fast.

So, lately I've been on the hunt for a new Chinese restaurant. The place that I used to frequent went under new management and decided to take short cuts. It's been just over a year, and it's been rough finding something in the area that can even come close. It's gotten to the point that I wasn't even about to try Hunan Express, because of how terrible the other places in the area have been. However, I'm glad I did. The food here is not perfect, but it's decent. They have huge portions, and the food actually has flavor.Last night we ordered the General Tso's chicken, 5 pc wing combo, and sweer & Sour chicken. We also ordered fried wontons, and the meals came with egg rolls and soup.The General Tso's chicken came in a container filled to the brim with pork fried rice. The chicken could've been crispier, and less saucy, but it was decent. I feel like if I specified how I wanted it, they could easily adjust it for me as other have in the past. I just don't like my chicken swimming in the sauce.The sweet & sour chicken was spot on, and actually tasted similar to the carryouts around where I grew up at. A little soy sauce on the chicken and the salty from the soy sauce goes well with the sweet and sour combination of the sauce.The wontons were meh! Hard over fried and not that good, but the hot and sour soup was on the money. The egg rolls were decent, but a little greasy. I wish they were crispier, but outside of having to remove some of the grease they were pretty good.The wings were also solid, my only hold up is that they break the wings down into flats and drumsticks and count them each. So a 5 pc wing is only 2.5 wings (3 flats and 2 drumsticks or vice versa), and the fries were soggy.I feel like even though the food isn't perfect, it's still solid. It's not just completely bland or bad. I'm okay with adding soy sauce to something I feel needs a boost, but I am against food that is just not prepared well, and I think that's where Hunan Express edges the other guys out. On top of that the store is clean, and that's something I feel you have to pay attention to these days.The thing is I'm not looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, I'm looking for good Chinese carryout food. I'm looking for something quick and reliable, on a night when I'd rather hang with the kids and be lazy. I can't say that this is going to be our new weekly replacement, but atleast between here, and 2 other spots that require some driving, we can get by...overall I'd give the food a 6.5 - MAYBE 7 out of 10

We've been ordering for the past 5 yrs and it has been always on time and just what we order. I wished the had a sit in restaurant.

I sincerely hope they reopen and recover after the pandemic, because their food and service were always great. Is this the best Chinese food I've ever had? Well, no. But, golly, it was really decent and it was pretty much the best in the Crofton area!I always had good experiences with their service, too, regardless of picking up or delivery. They were usually really fast, as well... almost always beat their estimated time. My favorite dishes here were their soups, the pu-pu platter (great sample of their apps!), and the combo meals. They always packed them full of veggies and rice. I'm a steamed rice guy, but their fried rice was always pretty good.I was also a fan of their egg rolls. The filling was nice and flavorful, and it was very well seasoned. The outer skin had a great crisp to it, and it was really filling by itself. I would sometimes make a meal from two or three egg rolls and a small soup.I can't honestly say I've ever been hungry after eating here. We typically have leftovers if we're not sparse in our ordering. But, that's not a bad thing either. It's just a great value for the price.Here's hoping their back to their previous form in June! We really miss these guys, and we are eager to give them our business again!

For a local place the hot & sour soup is point on! Egg rolls perfection. Some dishes vary, but when you try different ones, you will find your sweet point type go to dish. The dishes do vary in rating but when you find your dish it.... You know it, just like any place. Friendly attentive staff & that is a plus. As a small business there are extra costs if you want extra noodles, etc. but that something all businesses do in this economy. Negative reviews are only due complainers that will never post a complimentary reviews

We've been going here on and off since 2007. Always been good. Lately we've been going more frequently and always getting the same thing. Crispy beef and beef lomein. Last Friday, ordered our usual online. Got it home, and surprise. The beef was definitely not crispy and the lomein was not the usual lomein noodles, they looked like spaghetti noodles. Did they get a new cook, new supplier or what?

Based on the reviews I was excited to try Hunan Express. Just ok. Fried rice was literally just rice - no vegetables except for a few onions. I'm used to at least green peas and/or carrots. The entree had a nice flavor though.
