Customer Reviews
I’ve come here off & on for years. Haven’t been there in a while. Stop today to get combination fried rice. Upon arriving home and tasting it, it was extra salty and it taste freezer burned…. Not sure if it was the vegetables, the meat or what. Though when I called, she act like she didn’t know what I was talking about… Suggested I drive 30 minutes back with rush-hour 45 minutes to an hour back and she would refund me upon returning the bad food…. I explained it would cost me more in gas to drive up there to include. I was not getting back in the middle of rush-hour at 6:00 PM. To say the least, she hung the phone up in my face in the end. I would never, ever visit this establishment again and recommend no one who is looking for good fresh food to patron their establishment… Good Luck & take care…🤮
Came here for lunch. Had the twice-cooked pork which came with fried rice and spring roll. The pork dish itself was tasty and delicious, however the fried rice was pretty bland and the spring roll was a little cold on the inside. Plenty of parking available and credit card accepted.
My entire family loves their food! We have been ordering for almost 10 years and the food is always hot and fresh and so GOOD! So glad they are still open and preparing delicious meals!!!
We LOVE Hunan Cafe!!!!!! I order here every time I visit home. You HAVE to order the beef lo mein, bbq spareribs, orange chicken extra crispy, Moo shu pork, pork fried rice, Szechuan green beans, beef and broccoli, the list goes on. This place is amazingly tasting and priced. I literally take it on the plane with me back to Los Angeles. Best Chinese food I’ve ever had!!! Love em!!!!!
As a ranking member of the bigback committee and incoming president of the organization of Daaaamnthatsgood! This is the absolute best hidden secret in Gaithersburg! I say hidden cause maybe only I didn’t know it existed! Cause they stay busy in there. They take made to order very seriously and there is a very fresh and amazing depth of flavors in their dishes. I mean I could taste the l’orange in the orange chicken, which by the way was being fried per order! Service is excellent as well, but I won’t mind if it wasn’t cause yeah, food is that good! 9.8/10 The sit-in area is pretty average but the way you’ll be smacking your lips, you won’t want anyone seeing you eat anyway!
