We love good Chinese food and usually grade a place based on their wonton soup. We ordered it and overall it was pretty good. We have had better but this seemed like it had less salt which I liked. Also tried sweet and sour chicken and another beef dish. It was all pretty good. The staff was very friendly and made my son feel welcome there. Happy to have this so close to home but it is a little on the expensive side. I think they would benefit from advertising even if they just do it on Facebook and offering coupons either in their ad or at the store. We plan on going back and dining in for lunch which seems like a good deal.

Hunan Jon's opened at the beginning of July, 2019 and is tucked away in the Oakwood Square plaza that is shared with Drug Mart. It is a dine in and take out that also has delivery (as stated on their menu). Chinese eating for me is either hit or miss and I feel this will be the same for others. Pricing here is slightly higher than other local restaurants such as Lucky Star and Hang Yuen Kitchen. At the time of my visit the place looked good but naked without much decor, though I could care less as I'm here for the food, not to feel romanced by any ambiance. I had Oolong tea (1.50 for a pot of tea) and enjoyed my beverage. I started with a cup of hot and sour soup which came with my lunch special (beef with broccoli $8.25). The soup was fresh and delicious, but I deduct a point ONLY because on the menu the photo of hot and sour soup shows that it has those black mushrooms in it as an ingredient. I don't know what they are called but often times I find them in hot and sour soups at most asian restaurants though sometimes they are not included with the soup. In this instance it is marketed as having those black mushrooms but my soup came without as evidenced by the photo. The soup was great, I was just slightly let down it did not come as photographed---they should change the photo or add black mushrooms to remedy this. The beef with broccoli was delicious, and I mean delicious! Why? Because most asian take-outs the last thing I enjoy is anything with beef because of the quality, the beef is usually chewy and grisly and that texture kills the mood for me as a diner. BUT----IMO, I did want to try other dishes here FIRST however trying beef with broccoli is the ideal benchmark to grade an asian restaurant; it's basic, simple and on every menu. Similar to pizza sampling--always try a plain cheese to give you the best benchmark for grading pizza from different restaurants. The beef convinced me the price was worth it, the broccoli was cooked perfect where it was soft yet crunchy! The rice I could tell was well made and not dried out or sticky but fresh and light/airy. A clean tasting meal that did not leave me feeling gross or greasy/bloated afterwards. The description reads that the meal comes with a veggie egg roll, but by looking at my photo you'll see it has meat in it. May want to watch that! As for my 'meat' eggroll, it was very good and so was the sweet and sour sauce. I knock off ONE point here because they don't have any homemade hot mustard, all they had were those terrible plastic packets of hot mustard, you know the kind---they aren't hot and they don't even taste like mustard. Yea, those..... My bill came to about $10.58 (if I recall correctly) and that was with leaving an 18% tip. I liked this place, no major complaints just minor kinks that need worked out but if they really want to reel me in more often having their own hot mustard would do the trick. This place I can see not being a hit for some people because those are the people that look at price only and you can find cheaper around town but I feel that the beef is better quality here and the rice good, good as in freshly made not sitting around. My next dish I want to try from here would be the shrimp in lobster sauce, if you could see the menu the photo completely sells me on the product so I want to try the real thing! The black glossy photo of the menu is their fancier dine in menu to browse. The yellow menu I took photos to show you all is their to-go menu. I hope this helps you all decide if you want to try this place! :) ***What would really boost this restaurant is advertising in the golden clipper coupon book or that North Canton flyer, other local asian take-out eateries do this and they also have coupons! If Hunan Jon's is reading this I'd suggest advertising in the local flyers and have some coupons. Thank you for reading :)
