Quite possibly the worst kung pao chicken I've ever had the misfortune of eating. Absolutely nauseating. One forkful and into the garbage can it went. read more

Decent food (not greasy, not salty) but the price has been up significantly from the last time I ordered.

I had food delivered. Food was extremely fresh, no preservatives and totally delicious! Thank you for caring about what you serve!! read more

Excellent service and food was properly prepared and delicious. Especially noted was the large size of the sweet and sour shrimp, hot and sour soup just the right 'heat'. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. We order takeout here quite a bit and have never been disappointed. The kung pao tofu is fantastic and the lo mein is great too. Friendly service as well. read more

Also my go to for Chinese food. Have ordered take-out numerous times never been disappointed! Crab Rangoon A+. Sweet & Sour Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, Orange Chicken, any of the Chow Mein dishes are excellent! Fast as can be and always HOT! The only thing I wish for is better fried rice. It has next to no veggies and very bland. Seems like white rice with some soy sauce at best. Definitely lacking. Step it up Hunan Cafe! read more

**3.5 stars** So Hunan Cafe's menu showed up in our mail and I was excited to see a new Chinese restaurant in the area. We usually stick to 88 China or Taste of Hong Kong so I wanted to know how this place compares. My dad noticed there was another Hunan Cafe located in Falls Church, which is one he's been to so he said it was good there. So what the heck, why not. I ordered and then went to look it up to see if there was a page already set up for them on yelp. When I saw that it was the same place as Far East Kitchen, I thought gosh darnit I hope it's new owners because we just wasted 40 bucks on this place. Good thing...new management! -Egg drop soup was delicious, and had alot of eggs! -Hot and sour soup needed some spicyness to it, a bit bland so it was just ok for me. -Szchuen beef was good, I really wish they would put more beef because it was covered in carrots and celery and I had to look for some beef but it was delicious. The sauce had a good amount of spicyness to it and it was flavorful. -General Tsos chicken was my favorite dish. It wasn't ovenrly breaded and it was a generous portion. -Pad thai chicken was a no for me. It just didn't taste authentic but we got it because it was free (if you order over $35). I would suggest go to a Thai restaurant if you want it. Overall, prices are affordable for both lunch and dinner. They did change the inside also, it actually has chairs and tables to sit at. The walls have nicer pictures with a nicer menu. It doesn't look dirty as before or uninviting. They just need to change the name ASAP so people don't get confused. I would try it again, not sure how long it's been open but it has been an improvement from the last Chinese restaurant. read more

We order carry-out from this location two or three times a month. They deliver but it's close by so I just pick it up. The spring rolls are excellent, obviously hand-rolled fresh. The rolls are reason enough to place an order but their orange beef and triple delights are excellent as well. They've got a great system at the front door to insure safety during the CoVid virus and the staff is prompt and friendly. read more

So excited to find a great please to pick up delicious food that is fresh, prepared well and safe. We loved the vegetarian options: vegetable spring rolls, vegetable fried rice, szechuan string beans (which were not overcooked and not soggy) vegetarian king pao chicken, vegetarian beef with broccoli, and vegetarian sweet and sour chicken (they automatically put the sauce on the side)! EVerything was seasoned well and not salty! They packaged it well in the Togo bag and it was piping hot!! Even today the leftovers were still delicious. Online ordering was easy. When you got to pick up, they have a table with a speaker outside for you to say your name and they bring the food out wearing a mask. read more

We order take out from them a lot. We really like the general Taos chicken. It's nothing out of the ordinary but they are always quick and available especially when we work late. I've also had the beef and broccoli from them but the chicken dishes normally end up being my favorites. read more

Small place in Greenbriar, don't let the size fool you. This place has some of the best Chinese food in the Chantilly/Centreville area. We've tried many places and this is now becoming our favorite Chinese restaurant. People ate catching on to this place, really busy carryout establishment. Fresh ingredients, beef and vegetables. Love the Mongolian beef and the beef with beef with mixed vegetables. read more

This time I went with: Shrimp Lo Mein - Was shocked at how ma y shrimp were actually in it, and to top it off they were not the tiny ones. 5/5 Chicken in Garlic Sauce - The sauce is divine, First time ever having this and will be ordering again. I did ask for it to be extra spicy and they delivered on the heat. 5/5 Szechuan Beef - I have had this many times from other restaurants but never from here. It was not as spicy as I would have liked, but I. blame myself for not asking for it to be extra spicy. Also there was not as much sauce as I would have liked. 4/5 Will be getting food from them again next month! OH and their Egg Rolls are amazing and I ate 2 of them! read more

awful food awful service and give very little that wasn't enough even for five year old when I told the owner, he said that's how we are expensive and give very little read more

This restaurant does not offer dine-in and only does carry outs. This is the closest Chinese food to my house, so I get it often. Their food isn't great but it's quick and convenient. One time, they forgot a dish in the order, but they fixed the problem by delivering the right order ASAP. read more

Hunan Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

See all

Quick and courteous delivery during the pandemic and food may be even better than before. Thanks!

The portions are skimpy and unfortunately the people that answer the phones are terrible, I have come to the conclusion that consistent, well made and good tasting Chinese food doesn't exist in my town. Whatever happened to taking pride in the food you serve. read more

My husband and I have been ordering take-out from HUNAN CAFE GREENBRIAR for several years...and the food is ALWAYS delicious, consistently fresh and flavorful, with the carryout orders perfectly filled. We highly recommend this place! The people who greet you are super friendly! The portions are quite large and we've enjoyed every dish we've tried. We highly recommend the egg rolls, wonton and egg drop soups. For entrees, we especially love their shrimp and lobster sauce ~ it's so good! The shrimp fried rice, the chicken and broccoli, the shrimp Lo mein, and the House Flat Noodles w chicken/beef/shrimp are amazing! There's no other place as good ~ we've tried others. read more

Freshness and quality comes to mind when eating takeout from Hunan Café. It's always been my "go to" Chinese place. They've been consistent and always fastest delivery perhaps because they're quite close by and I am just lazy today! Cheers Hunan Café! read more

Small place but lovely people work there. They are so welcoming and friendly. Always willing to answer my questions and to make alternatives to my orders. They are great! read more

If you like getting take away to find out its raw at home than this place is for you. Grooooooooss!

Ugh. So, I tried this place for lunch on a weekday and I absolutely loved the food. I had the vegetarian sweet & sour and ohhh, it was so good with breaded mock chicken and lots of sauce. I was excited for my husband to try it so I brought him back Saturday night of that same week. We both got vegetarian chicken again: His was General Tso's and mine was the sesame chicken style. He didn't like it as much as I did but we were both overall pleased with our food. A couple of hours later, I was in agonising pain. Food poisoning. My husband, thankfully, was not similarly afflicted. We both had the mock chicken, rice, and the same kind of drink, so the virus-y food must have been in the sesame sauce. I can't remember if there were different vegetables in the two dishes but I suppose that's a possibility, as well. Sorry, I tried and I see people eating in here at lunch time all of the time and, presumably, they're all fine but, for me, I can't justify going back to a place that I got food poisoning from. read more

We had our food delivered and it was hot and on time. The food was just okay. I ordered orange chicken and beef with broccoli customized as spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. Just a really okay place. read more

Solid chinese take-out. As someone else says, the fried rice doesn't have veggies in it, but it's cooked just right (not too dry or greasy). I had one of the lunch special, and it came neatly arranged on a plate with a spring roll. Some places load up on the vegetables in their dishes and skimp on meat, but Hunan had just the right mix. It's not particularly remarkable in any way, but I'd definitely eat here again. Note, they're located on the side of Greenbriar shopping center, down on the end where Marshalls is. They can be a little tricky to find, since they're not facing front like the other stores. read more

Good Lord, no review for months..thought it was closed. Grades = C for oily fare, B for fresh veg and decent meat, B for good flavors with soupy sauces, A for calling back to inform chow mein is boiled veg and not American lexicon for fried noodles and B for lack of spice but that's personal. Hunan Chicken, Wonton soup, Pancake side and Low mein veg/ tofu...all take out. read more

Ordered shrimp fried rice, combo lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, some shrimp and veggies dish, and egg drop soup. Shrimp fried rice: okay, rice was a bit dry but overall decent. Combo lo mein: nasty, salty, soggy, oily, no taste but soy sauce (more about this below) S & S chicken: oily, and sauce was bland. shrimp and veggie dish (forgot the name: picture is on the menu) was the only thing that was good. Shrimp were colossal. Egg drop soup; bland and not much there. Combo lo mein was not edible and I called to let the restaurant know that I wanted my money back. After a few "hold ons" the response was to replace the lo mein with lo mein that I complained about, which I said no thank you. Then it was... well, we'll give you another dish next time. Terrible service. Just give the customer their money back. So over $7.95 instead of giving me a good experience and saying sorry and offering me money back, they made it too complicated and convenient only for them and lost future business. They can keep my free whatever, not going back there again. read more

I have been a longtime customer here and I felt compelled to finally rate this place for one simple reason: Customer Service. Now, don't misunderstand the fact that this is not meant to be a 3-Star Michelin restaurant. It is an amazingly dependable and tasty treat for any occasion. I give it 5 stars for many reasons considering the fact that they specialize in delivery and that it tastes amazing. The reason why I rate it so high is the fact that they forgot one item in my order. Upon realizing this, I called to inform them of the error and not even 5 minutes later, the missing item was in my hands with a smile and an apology. If you need dependable service, this is your place to eat or order in from... read more

The food is decent. Its nothing to rave or get excited about. It is overpriced for sure. Two meals with 2 egg rolls will cost about $30.00 with delivery. When you go in, you will not be greeted by anyone friendly. Usually there are a bunch of grade school children working behind the counter. They don't come across as being very happy. The other staff do not seem very appreciative of your business either. You are made to feel like they are doing you a favor. I would call it the lower side of average. read more

I've been frequenting the Ups Store right next door and finally decided to make a stop in to check out Hunan Cafe. The place is small, but there are a few tables and chairs where you can cop a squat to eat a quick bite. There is a station for hot tea, which is really thoughtful and I always appreciate when even small-ish, mostly to-go places go to the trouble of providing that level of hospitality. Although, the lack of air conditioning make even the thought of sipping on hot tea a non-starter. The young woman who took my order was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the twice cooked pork lunch combo and it came out pretty quickly. There was about an equal ratio of fried rice to the twice cooked pork dish, and also came with a small spring roll. The spring roll oozed oil when I bit into it; sadly this did not deter me from finishing the dang thing. --I will eat almost anything when you apply a little squirt of duck sauce.-- The rice was boring. Just dry fried rice with nothing special going on at all. Not even a little cube of carrot. Lonely dry rice :( On the upside, the twice cooked pork was an altogether different story! It was served with a slightly spicy brown sauce, a ton of fresh vegetables and tender bits of pork. This was heavenly! Next time, I'll order separately and get steamed rice with it so as not to detract from all that savory goodness. read more

Decided to give this place a try. Was skeptical because I did NOT like it at all before it had turned over to "New Management", assuming that was simply a name change. Ordered chow fun, general tso's chicken and twice cooked pork. The veggies were fresh. Big slices of carrot and celery, nice shredded cabbage. I enjoyed it especially for the fresh veg factor. Though, my husband who LOVES general tso's chicken said the flavor was lacking (fixed by Sriracha) and asserted that China King (Herndon Clocktower) makes it better. I would order from there again. Update: 11/7/2016 Second try. Here's the verdict: Sweet and Sour Chicken - heavily breaded chicken. Light on veg. Meh. Beef with Broccoli - lots of broccoli, but beef was kind of slimy/fatty. Meh. Wouldn't order again. Wonton Soup - 4 wontons . Would order this again. Fried Dumplings - gyoza-like, came with dumpling sauce to dip. Would order this again. Good portion size. Going to give it one more chance on a non-breaded/non-fried chicken and pork dish. If the meat isn't good, I'm done. Cost: $30 read more

I was in the area and craving Chinese food, went on their website to see what they had to offer and decided to go with Pad Thai instead. They had lot of variety at Great prices! I was able to order ahead online fairly easy. When I went to pick up my food I had to wait outside (although not long at all) for them to bring it out. Wasn't really bothered by that since the place is small and we are in a pandemic! read more

Really hit the spot. Lots of flavor. Much better than the place that preceded it at the same location (which I marked low). read more

Hunan Cafe - Kung Pao Chicken. Yum! Actual container is in the upper left hand corner, but my bowl has the rice and KPC. Enough for 2 meals. - Cafes Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This is my to go place, when I want chinese take-out. Haven't anything so far which was a dissapointment or not delish at all... On the comical side: on first two orders they made the spicy food extra spicy, since I'm Asian. Had to ask them to tone it down for me, but keep it spicy for my Caucasian hubby... and they always remember ever since *lol We usually go for their egg foo young, shrimp fried rice, flat (drunken) noodles, moo shu pork, all their chicken dishes, ma po tofu, pad thai and Peking duck... all has been yum and exceptionally good & fresh for Chinese take-out/fast food. read more

Just ordered from here for the 1st time. Chicken fried rice. Sounds simple but many places seem to mess it up. Hunan cafe is now one of my favorite places to eat and the food was fresh, full of flavor, vibrant with color and best of all, it was served with great customer service. Highly recommend to anyone! Their lunch special deals M-S are a bargain! read more

This is our go-to Chinese place. The food is predictable and tasty. Their delivery is pretty fast too. I normally go for the steamed shrimp and the texture is always perfect. Boyfriend usually gets General Tso's or something similar, and it's always been tasty too. The only reason i didn't give 5 stars is because the last delivery lady basically threw my food at me and took the receipt and ran back to her car. It was strange and rude. read more

This is my go to restaurant when I'm craving General Tso's, egg drop soup, pork fried rice, egg rolls, etc. Whether you use delivery or go in the service and the food is always fast, friendly, and delicious! The menu is huge, we have ordered tons of different items and thus far have never found a bad dish. read more

They are fast in delivery but the food not good . We got the food cold and not that great .

For our first time having takeout/delivery from here, we're pleased. The shrimp egg foo young was excellent, as were the chicken wings. The crab rangoon was too sweet and had very little crab, so I won't be ordering those again, but the spring rolls were tasty. The shrimp rice noodles and shrimp lo mein were both really good, but a little salty. A request for no salt and no soy sauce will make those dishes fabulous. Will definitely order from here again. read more

The wonton soup was salty but delicious. The general tso's was very watery and virtually flavorless.

Very disappointed in the Peking duck. The skin should be crisp but we got skin that was limp, chewy and actually had gobs of fat still attached which significantly affected the flavor and texture and not in a good way. The only reason I gave it two stars is because I was impressed that the pancakes didn't stick together, a problem I've had with other restaurants. Still, I'd rather have pancakes that stuck together and good duck than subpar duck with good pancakes. Wouldn't recommend read more

I bit into a chicken anus bone in my chicken lo mein. Seriously, a small small intact circular bone. I had also ordered some dumplings and chicken fried rice for my wife. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it I found this on my second bite and before my wife began eating. Thus, our appetite was gone and we threw all the food in the trash. Recommend digging through your food before eating. read more
