Hunan Garden - Rochester

Recent discovery as we were craving for some authentic Chinese food. This place is a blend of American Chinese such as orange chicken, lo mein, and cream cheese wontons and also some regional Chinese dishes such as Cantonese ginger lobster, steamed fish, chow fun, and the like. The staff was really friendly and quick with their service. Dinner menu was extensive and prices were really reasonable amid inflation. Ordered Princess Chicken Lunch Special (4/5). This reminded me of Kung Pao Chicken. Chicken was soft, coated with this sugar glaze and the peanuts added some extra texture. Should've ordered white rice vs the fried rice to balance the salt and sauce. Beef Chow Fun (4.5/5). Wife was craving some noodles and none of the other Chinese places in town had Cantonese style chow fun noodles besides going up to the Cities. This was how we found Hunan! This is a nice spot and we can't wait to visit when we're itching for some decent eats.

Great service, they try very hard to get your order right. Good food. Will definitely go back there.

I'm a bit sad to write this negative review, but I was frustrated after my visit. The service was awesome. Very kind older lady that helped out. The food wasn't okay. So many fillers. Kung Pao Shrimp was 90% onions. Curry was more fillers like carrots and peas than meat. Just examples, but this goes on and on. And I get that food costs have gone up, but this was kind of ridiculous. Bamboo shoots tasted off. Onions tasted a bit odd too. I had the food here before, and I really liked it. The food wasn't like this.

Consistently good Chinese food. Always ready very quickly. Hit and sour soup is the best!

We're so grateful for this restaurant, especially for being open on Christmas Day. Despite a really packed house and numerous carry out orders, the staff were very kind to us and provided us with excellent food. Thank you Hunan Garden for being open on Christmas I know it's a challenge, but we look forward to your food each year!
