Hunan Family

Some nights are Chinese delivery kinda nights. They don't happen often for me, but when I am too bombarded with life happenings, it is always the right answer. This was my first time ordering from Hunan Family and the cravings were definitely satisfied. The beef lo mein was standard in a good way (generous portion too) and the general tso's was made extra spicy like I asked for. Was pleasantly surprised at the 'small' order because it was enough for me for two days.I ordered through a third party delivery service and it was received, made quickly and in my hands 20-25 minutes later, piping hot. Satisfied customer here!

I have been going to Hunan family for many years. It is always good Chinese food. Yesterday was the same as all of the other times I have visited.

I'll start by saying the food was not terrible...it definitely was not anything close to great but the 2 stars is not in regards to the food while it doesn't really help it much. We came here for dinner one night because my boyfriend is always getting deliveries from there so we wanted to try it out. When I called, they answered the phone simply saying, Wait (nothing else)...then he came back and said what do you want? I was immediately turned off but I still ordered. He gave me a time of 15 minutes and then hung up. When I walked in, rather than giving him my name or phone number I had to restate my order for him to grab it. I ordered the shrimp egg foo young dinner, small egg drop soup, bourbon chicken and the house special Ho Fun. Ho Fun is generally one of my favorite dishes as I really love the wide flat rice noodles but here they were all stuck together, half of the noodles didn't even have any sauce on them they were so thickly stuck together. There was not much of any of the proteins inside either.. The egg foo young had a burnt taste, that made it hard to eat even though I couldn't find anything burnt. It must of been from old oil or something. The egg drop soup was disappointing and the bourbon chicken while good was kind of hard. Overall, I definitely would not be back here for Chinese. I really hope we will find a good Chinese restaurant soon! They were so much easier to come across in Rhode Island.

Really good Chinese spot in Columbia, honestly my favorite one!! I've tried a few items :sesame chicken, orange chicken, general Tso, shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. Everything I've ordered from here was great.

Have ordered from here 3-4 times in the last year. Food is consistent and delivery speed has gotten really fast. My only complaint is when placing an order on their website, you cant use the coupons on their site. There is no code to type in and even though I ask for it in the instructions of the order, they never honor the request. Im used to chinese food businesses just adding free stuff like egg rolls as a surprise when your order hits an amount.

I agree with another person's review post, the customer service at Hunan Family in Columbia, MD is horrible!I called to place my order in advance - the woman who took my order was rude but not so young. You would think she'd know better. Wrong! She was rude on the phone and sharp in her tone in person.The food was not seasoned well - I ordered chicken and veggies...chicken tasted like rubber. The string beans tasted old. It was a terrible experience for me. I know good quality food when I taste it.My loss. I'll never go back there again!

The food here is mediocre at best. The egg drop soup was light on the eggs, salty, and did not come with those crisps it should be served with. I got the broccoli in spicy ginger sauce and requested they go light on the sauce. If that was light on the sauce I'd hate to see the amount of sauce they normally put in there because the broccoli was swimming in sauce. The general tso chicken was more bread than chicken. The only dish I have nothing negative to say about was the combination rice. That was pretty good. All in all I will not be ordering from them again.

Disclaimer: This review is based off of the one thing I've had: General Tso's chicken lunch special. The eggroll that comes with the lunch special is a beef eggroll (I'm always curious about this, because most places have shrimp or vegetable eggrolls and they typically give you the latter for a combo special). There wasn't a ton of beef in there, but it wasn't bad. The General Tso's chicken was pretty good. I have no real complaints about the meal, which to me says a lot due to the sketchy results for Chinese take-out in Columbia. The price was fair and I didn't catch any flack for charging my meal which was under the typical $10 minimum for credit cards.Tip: If you're picking up your food, I'd park in the back and walk around the side of the building, since they're located on the far end of the row of stores from the main parking lot. I could only spot the general vicinity of the store, because I knew they were located next to the UPS store. There should probably be better signage here (unless you're ordering delivery).I want to also note that I appreciate the owner taking so many photos of their food for Yelp. Doing this may help some of us order more things we may be afraid to try. I always wish there were pictures for some of these "mystery dishes" on the menu, so thank you for doing that. What would also be nice is a "if you like this, try that" sort of suggestion. There are so many options for us to choose from, but some of us have no idea what they are.

See attached. Horrible experience. Am disputing the charge since I didn't eat the food. Their fault. Fix your mess Hunan

Very tasty and quality food! I've gotten the szesuan string beans, garlic chicken, egg rolls, and lo me in and they were all fantastic. Highly recommend the garlic chicken.
