Excellent lunch prices, very friendly and efficient staff, and the food is fantastic. I usually get the sweet and sour chicken lunch special with egg fried rice. The chicken is crisply fried and fluffy on the inside, perfect amount of sauce and fresh veggies. The fried rice is just right; the balance of salt brings out the flavor of the egg and onion, but isn’t overpowering and the rice isn’t too oily. Love this place!

Very high quality food, flavorful, clean, and perfectly cooked (not over or under). Kind and accommodating staff, I have eaten here for years and have never had anything but a great experience every time.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian dishes they have available are great, but you can also make requests like Mongolian tofu instead of their Mongolian beef. They have always been very accommodating and are knowledgeable about making something truly vegetarian, ie not using oyster sauce or chicken stock or whatever it may be.

This was my first time going here and I loved it! The staff were friendly and chill. The inside is cozy and welcoming. I ordered take out but I would come back and dine inside. The food was delicious and still hot when I picked it up. Definitely check them out! ??

Fast, fair prices, classic, simple Chinese food. The use of corn starch was a little heavy but not out of line. the lunch specials are a single entree and rice so we got a side dish of steamed vegetables. The salt and pepper pork was battered and this is not how I’m used to it but it tasted great. I’m not sure this dish would be as good as take out but as dine in and hot and crispy I really liked it. $30 for two for lunch.

Never write reviews, but had such an uncomfortable experience here. New to the area and was looking for some new local eats. My wife and I decided to give Little Hunan a try. Walked in and was just greeted with a stare. Ask if we could sit down and eat and the guy just said " ya I guess" as if he didn't want to deal with us. My wife and i sat down and looked at the menu. Again this was our first time and didn't know what the portion sizes where, so my wife asked if one order of honey walnut shrimp and some vegetable fried rice would be enough for us two. His answer was " ya sure, whatever..." this is when I started really feeling uncomfortable. Food came and was actually good. I then noticed one of the chefs stick his head out of the kitchen and looked at us, him and the server started laughing in our direction. After this the whole kitchen staff decided it was dinner time and came out to eat. This at 7pm on a Friday which i would consider peak dinner time for customers. A few minutes passed and an asian family came in. The server's attitude completely changed, greeted them right away, told them site where ever they like, when they asked about the food, guy said they can do whatever they liked. Completely different customer service was given to this family. I was sickened by this, my wife tried to keep a positive attitude and be really nice and respectful. We even said good bye and thank you when we left. All we got was a stare and a slight node in our direction. Customer service is terrible and if you look latino be careful eating here as they don't seem to be fans...

Good solid Chinese food in strip mall restaurant. No frills but tasty and reasonably priced.

Excellent food like always. The chef and his wife know how to cook good food and have a lively, great ambiance.

The only reason I'm giving three stars is because they were polite and the beef was tender. I love Chinese food, I love Mongolian beef. You can get it for two extra dollars with chow mein. ($16) on the lunch special. I didn't know it would be a big bowl of super thick noodles with the Mongolian beef mixed together. Not the normal size chow mein noodles and no other ingredients it seemed than onions onions onions and beef! The sauce tasted like slightly watered down spicy barbecue sauce. I forced myself to eat the beef out of it and left the rest. The first time I have not taken home the extras. I was given only a fork and thought about asking for chopsticks which I prefer but decided not to bother. I was given a glass of iceless water I am assuming was probably tap. No offer of tea. No fortune cookie... As basic as it gets. I actually feel bad writing this because they were nice. There's a lot of yelling back-and-forth and the guy working the front kept sniffing up, clearing his throat and coughed once which made me a little uncomfortable. He offered to let me take the rest home which I declined. I am so thankful I didn't order the three entrees to go like I was going to!!! On some other site they had pretty high stars and I can't imagine why other than portion size but if it's not really edible? And there was really no one in there but me and one other person. Sad to say I will not ever go back.

Love this place! Been coming here for years, the food is always delicious, nice portion sizes, and is ready pretty fast. Whenever my family and I get takeout, we never wait more than 10 minutes for our food to be done. Some of my favorites are the hunan string beans and the sweet and sour fish. Super flavorful, hot, and comforting. I also really love their lunch specials, and they give you a decent amount of food it could probably be used for more than one meal!

Staff is so helpful and kind. Every dish I've had here is top. The lunch deal they have is also great and a good portion.
