I would get this again. My family and I talk about this dish. Often. But the Mapo Tofu with Beef just was NOT what I was expecting. It is NOT like what other places serve. And the Meizhou Dry Chili Chicken was just okay. The food overall wasn't terrible. But the service. Omgoodness. Service is EVERYTHING. I love a no nonsense server but you gotta have a little personality. The one guy was kind and friendly and just fine but the other. I mean. He was attentive but with NO emotion.

UPDATED Daniel-- I…read moredo love a good pizza!! But yes, I also love Chinese food. If I were to rank this kind of thing, it's probably my fourth favorite, after Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese. I'd place pizza in about 5th place. Having said that, two of my top 10 favorite restaurants in Chicago are Chinese restaurants - one right around the corner from you! Moon Palace Express used to be in my top 20 for sure, and possibly in my top 10 for a good stretch of time post-Covid. I was eating there at least twice a week, and loved almost everything I tried on the menu. My two favorites were probably the General Tso's and the Kung Pao chicken. So spicy and flavorful! That's what made today's bland lunch so disappointing. Thanks for the response to my initial review. I haven't had ice cream in about a year but you've just made me crave some!! This used to be one of my top three Chinatown spots. I've had several things off the menu, and they've all gone downhill. Today I ate there for the last time. I hadn't been for a year because the last few times things were not great, but today I was craving it. I thought maybe things had bounced back. If I were to close my eyes and take a hit of this Kung Pao chicken, I would guess that it was rice in a bowl of lukewarm warm water, with some old, soggy, tasteless chunks of an indistinguishable vegetable. Quite possibly the worst kung pao chicken I've ever had, and one of the worst meals in general in months. I will never go back here.

Service 8/10 I feel is a good service but they can improve by making it a better understanding of the food. Show more pictures so people can understand or want to buy their food.

Catered from here for a work event and it worked out fairly well. The food was boxed up nicely and…read moreready when requested -- kept very warm by the way it was packaged, with huge portions. The interior of the restaurants with the decoration wasn't bad for the lower price point. Service was pretty quick as I stopped by before the normal lunch rush. The food did what it needed to for my event -- which is that the portion sizes were very generous in terms of amount of meat and came with more than enough rice to feed everyone. The price was surprisingly good for the downtown area, probably $6 per person as we didn't get close to finishing what we ordered. Some of the food itself by the time it was served wasn't very crispy (sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken) though the flavor was fine and the meat was alright (not the most tender, but not tough). The stir fried vegetables and vegetable fried rice worked better for catering and were fairly tasty. Overall, a solid option for Chinese food catering -- located very conveniently across the street from the Willis Tower.

I was as the most elegant meals in my short life. Unfortunately, it was egg foo yung; I did not like it, although I was polite. Later options were in Cantonese-style rural or Canadian venues until we moved to Chicago. Here, my high-school-age son began dating a Chinese immigrant. Her family opened my eyes to many other styles that my husband and I enjoyed. However, the introduction to Hunan Gourmet's "medium" shocked me when my friend requested it for our combined order. Still, the resulting two days of leftover cumin lamb, eggplant skewers, and pumpkin pancakes convinces me to reassess my personal preferences. I hope to try many dishes from their extensive menu; I will, however, follow the wisdom of Asian customers, who brought cold 6-packs to their tables. Brilliant!

The packaging is fun for sure, but the food was definitely a little different. I ordered their Beef Noodle Spicy Broth, Chengdu Bon Bon Chicken, Zhong Dumplings and their Wonton in Volcano broth. All their dishes had their decent amount of spice in them. Their Bon Bon chicken was served cold and didn't taste all that great. It was spicy, but just not used to eating cold chicken. I threw it in the microwave and put it on top of my rice. It was really the only way I could enjoy it. The beef noodle and Zhong dumpling were really tasty. I'm glad I got to try this place out but would probably skip it next time time.

The noodles were freshly hand pulled and satisfyingly chewy. Sauce is on the sweeter side which is not common but I didn't mind as much as my friend. Adequate portions of shredded potato salad, one whole egg, and (added) tender lamb chunks. The pork sandwich is my favorite version in the city. The flatbread is so flaky, crispy, and soft and it's packed with a ton of tender shredded pork. I recommend adding cilantro. No issues with service. Plenty of seating in the food court basement.
