Do not understand the hate I'm seeing, this place is great. It's so hard to find a decent Chinese place that isn't different meats with the same generic incarnation of a brown sauce slathered over the veggies/meat. Vegetables are fresh and tasty, they had the biggest hunks of water chestnuts I've ever seen, the meat in my kung-pao chicken was seared to perfection, and the fried rice was delicious. Honesty, some of the better Chinese I've eaten in a long, long time. Maybe the best. The steamed dumplings were also fantastic and in a made fresh, not served in those mass-produced, tasteless wraps. And the best part? It's incredibly affordable. Granted I've only been for lunch, but two entrees, two bowls of soup, and a dumpling appetizer was under $20. You really can't go wrong. read more

Hunan dishes taste like Shanghai food. Not even vaguely Hunan style at all. People were friendly. Service was efficient.

Sushi did not taste that fresh at all. The scallion pancakes were GROSS! super doughy.

One of the best Asian restaurants in the area - not to mention a spectacularly affordable lunch menu. Everything on the menu is delicious. We eat here a few times a month at least and Ive never had anything I didn't like. The inside has been expanded and they've added a sushi bar that's great. You can't go wrong! read more

Hunan Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Wilton, Connecticut

Very disappointed, did take out and ever sauce tasted the same, things just lacked a lot of flavor and was very oily. Ate a few bites of everything and tossed it out. Was not happy with the way things were prepared. Don't think I would go back after that. read more

Just horrible. Eat and get sick - the food they sell is stale. As someone said, there easily can be worm in the food because of it being stale. they just reheat previously cooked food. There's nothing like waste management that they do because they dump it on us. I have been here before (last year) when the food was between OK and good, now it is between horrible and sh*. I wont go any more. read more

Around here it's easily one of the better asian food places. I like their dumplings, all the chinese dishes are nice, not too greasy or mushy. I like the wine selection and service, easy parking. But they get extra points for their sushi - fish is standard but I appreciate how thin the rice is around it. I hate those rolls with ton of rice. Definitely worth a try! read more

Service was a little slow for an empty Saturday night but food was great and portions were big! Would recommend to anyone in the area.

This is my 3rd update review for them in less than 6 months... I think given the nice, clean setting and the pleasant (roomy) interior, the lunch special here is a great deal... Around here, even a sandwich shop will cost you ~$7, yet their lunch special menu runs from $6-$8... I like the #4 Chicken w/ garlic sauce and #5 chicken w/ broccoli.. both comes with soup and rice... (#4 tastes better in my opinion) at the end, tax and tip included comes out to $7+.... I will be back! ^_^ read more

All we wanted was to take out a small meal, which we ordered at the register. We waited 40 minutes standing in the restaurant while the hostess kept telling us it was 'almost'ready and filling other orders. It was only after complaining and saying we wanted our money back that the food showed up. My husband's dish was burned. This is our 2nd bad experience in a row. Unacceptable, and they could care less. Not worth it. There are a lot better places in the area. read more

This isn't Asian food, just chef who served a tasteless dish for take out lunch. In disbelief that we ordered early, and food actually had a bad smell emanating.. The rice was 2/3's of the dish, and sauce was caked with uncooked chili', totally disgusting and nothing tasted right! My reason for not retuning since my boss treated our office to lunch! I suggested Ren over this place! This place is going down the tubes, and frankly save the $7-9 bucks. Even the egg roll was a loss in flavorless. read more

Unfortunately the service STINKS! Also, I have been here over the years and it has gone down in quality. The egg roll has a thick skin and its drenched oil. Apparently they re COLOR BLIND- i asked for white rice and I got brown. Sushi is OVERPRICED for the quality of what you get. The only thing that is really great here is their wonton soup. Do yourself a favor go to BAMBU! read more

Best Chinese in Wilton and probably in all of Fairfield county. The dumplings, crab rangoon, chicken and broccoli, sesame chicken, and lo mein are all great options. Take out is great! Quick and easy. read more

Tasty tasty, very friendly waiter and chefs ! The waiter took good care of my allergies and customized orders. read more

Solid choice for a local sushi restaurant. I go once a week. Sit at the sushi bar and be nice, you might get a special treat! read more

Hunan Cafe - Green Dragon Roll and Spicy Tuna - Chinese Near Me - Wilton, Connecticut

Honestly, Yelp is a scam. This restaurant is awesome, and angry people like to complain on here to mess with a perfectly good business. I am gluten free and they are incredibly accommodating, reading the order back to me and double checking that things are gluten free. They have excellent chow fen, lo mein, and sushi is extremely fresh. Never had a problem. SO sad to see the negativity, because it's one of the best Chinese places around this area. read more

Simply Amazing!! The food is consistently hot an delicious! The presentation phenomenal, the proportions generous, and the staff.. the best around. High-end Asian cuisine at an affordable price. I highly recommend exploring their sushi menu and salads after conquering their hot dishes!! One of the best restaurants in town, so glad they've stayed in Wilton for +10 years!! read more

Hunan Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Wilton, Connecticut

Horrible service. Last Friday I called in an order for a sushi special and requested an egg roll not soup. What can I say I don't love soup. Well I get off my job and rush over to pick up my food on the way home so I can put my feet up and eat after a long week. But no, alas upon arrival I'm told that not I actually can't have my egg roll, queue waitress literally taking it out of the bag. I'm told I have to wait for a soup now, nobody told me it would be 20 minutes and that they literally had to make a fresh pot of soup. Wish I had just walked out, salmon always tastes frozen. Hadn't been in awhile and kinda forgot about that frozen taste but as soon as I ate my roll I could taste it. Sorry, pass on this one. You can get better quality Chinese for less at happy wok and sushi at edo!! read more

Tonight, while waiting for my take out order, I witnessed an angry and immature grown man yell at the server working because he had been waiting 5 extra minutes for his order. The way this customer spoke to the worker infuriated me, but I was extremely impressed with how calm and collected he remained, even as he was insulted and berated by an entitled man. The service is great and the food is delicious. read more

Shhh - don't tell our old Chinese restaurant - this is MUCH better! Food is fresh, well seasoned, not ever greasy, and delicious. Mango pork is my favorite read more

The best Chinese restaurant in the area as far as I am concerned. Fresh excellent food!

Quality of the food is below average. Sushi is horrible,ginger given was stale. Won't recommend it

The food seems to have gotten blander. Boring Mongolian Beef, and the cashew chicken was bland. Quiet place, and good service, and the prices are reasonable read more

Okay, I am obsessed with Hunan. I've seen a lot of complaints, but I really don't understand where they're coming from. My food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. I typically order the chicken lo mein, general tso's, or mango chicken (highly recommended!). I especially love the appetizers, namely the scallion pancake. For reliable, higher quality chinese food in the Wilton area, this is the place to go. read more

If I could even begin to describe the spectacular quality of this cafe.... Not only are they able to encompass the relative need for a oriental cultural environment, but they are also professionally staffed and trained to give you the ultimate dining experience. I recommend this cafe to all my friends who visit Wilton and none of them have been disappointed. In fact, they were so impressed they went again the next day! read more

No doubt this place has undergone changes during the last ten years. The old setup served up strictly simple chinese in healthy portions. Then came the move to try and become a swank sushi joint. Bad move. The sushi was sub par and certainly drove the loyalists away. They went back to a more traditional Chinese menu along with sushi offerings. Sometimes its better to be good at one thing rather than mediocre at two. Fire up the Crispy Honey Walnut Chicken and Shrimp though and you will will be happy. read more

This place is alright. It kinda just screams Whatever-Chinese to me. Prices are also Wilton-y so idk.

I have seen some horrible reviews of this place and I just can't understand why. We come here a few times a month and have almost always been very pleased. Their General Tsos is usually crispy and delicious (not soggy and flooded with sauce). Vegetables are undercooked, not mushy. I have always enjoyed their soups and they do have decent beer selection of some imported asian beers which are an interesting alternative to traditional domestic beers. Service is sometimes a bit slow when waiting for a check but that is honestly the only real complaint! Even still, service is usually friendly and very courteous. Their lunch special is very reasonably priced especially for Wilton. They always have it ready in "ten minute" which is great. I think A LOT of the poor reviews come from people who are used to casually spending $400 on a NYC dinner. For someone who just wants a nice reliable chinese food experience I would have to say you would agree that this place is great for that. I was not sure if I should give it a 4/5 or 5/5 but since there are so many people who have left nasty reviews about the place I don't feel I am being unreasonable to give it a 5/5 read more

I have been to all versions of this restaurant and probably the first Hunan was the best of the group. The current one offers good portions at a reasonable price for Wilton. In my two recent visits the service is slow and not attentive. The restaurant was 1/2 full but the main courses took 25 minutes to arrive and we did not order thr sushi. The first time the sushi order was 10 minutes later. It is better than its local competition. The latest visit resulted in a very chewy meal. Namely a rubber band in the entry. When pointed out to the waiter he just shrugged. read more

Very good sushi and original asian dishes ! love the sesame chicken !

I've been dragged here a number of times. Every time, it's the same experience: -fly in my water -fly in my miso soup -fly in my extremely oily food (scallion pancakes, rice dish, noodle dish) read more

DONT SEND YOUR ENEMIES HERE. or you may not have any left. I am an in town resident and a frequent restaurateur that made a very poor decision and went to Hunan café for a week-day dinner with my dear mother. Below is my account of the events that took place on Wednesday night June, 8 2011 Hunan Café is a Thai - Chinese - Japanese infusion restaurant. Very conveniently located in the middle of town, you will be delighted at the loud Mexican music that hits you as you enter the premises. Upon entry you will be greeted by no one and in the event that someone does come out of the kitchen make sure to smile or they will vanish as quickly as they appeared. You may even seat yourself, if you like. The tables are clean, and I enjoyed myself immensely until the waiter arrived. He seemed like a wonderful person but getting an order through was pretty tricky. I used all my might and Pictionary skills and felt proud when we reached a consensus. This was good. Im a pretty easy going guy, so as long as he was sort of close - I would eat whatever he put in front of me. Unless its blue or moving - I don't care too much. My order was tricky but manageable consisting of : 2 sweet shrimp sushi, 2 fatty tuna sushi, 2 salmon sushi, 2 tuna rolls and a California roll. 90 seconds after the waiter left he returns to go over the order. Which is absolutely fine and I actually appreciated the vigilance and care... So I got my Pictionary skills back on and I am using my very best expressions possible to illustrate a salmon. Its harder said than done and in retrospect I don't think I did well in round 2 because the waiter returned for a third time to confirm quantities. So far everything from the minute I walked in was a RED FLAG , but I wanted to be respectful to my mom who previously enjoyed this restaurant and I kept my mouth shut. I was also understanding of the waiter as I thought it may be his first day, I thought to myself...lets cut the guy some slack. So I have a drink in my hand, order in the kitchen, (triple checked) and I again felt good. Finally I see the kitchen door open and I see the waiter walking over to our table with our sushi. I know its our sushi because there is not a single other person in this restaurant. From 4 feet away I noticed a small problem and quickly put on my slow motion sensor and the time froze. As I acutely watched the waiter place our food on the table the horror inside of me squeezed my heart and quickly penetrated my soul. I stopped breathing so that I could allocate my energy only to my eyes just to confirm that what I was looking at was actually fish. My sweet shrimp were light brown with a dark brown crust on the edges. My tuna had a shinny reflective oil slick coat on it, and the salmon stank. Literally stank. I won't even get into the color of the Ikura as I dont know how to describe it. It was a color I have never seen before. I was so revolted and petrified at what I saw...the only words that came out of my mouth were "OUT" as the waiter positioned the plate on the table. I didn't want my mom to even see what this person put in front of her. I just wanted it out of my face, out of my mind and forever out of my town. Its one thing to get a bad steak when you go out, and you brush it off and get another one in a month and all is well; but when someone has the audacity to serve you bad fish (clearly knowing) that the fish is bad (by the rainbow of colors and smells) that's criminal food negligence. In reality someone knew the fish is bad, and served it knowing that whoever consumed it would get very sick. I paid for my meal and left immediately. I paid only because I felt that if I did not pay they would make my poor waiter pay for it - and I don't know if he would even understand what happened. I am trying to be light about this but I do ask you to please look, listen and feel your food before you consume it from this restaurant. And please wash your hands every time you touch anything. In retrospect I should have done exactly what my intellect told me to do - turn around and leave immediately. I failed to act on it and consequently got thoroughly punished with a life time of brown sweet shrimp nightmares. They petrified a dude that would eat virtually anything. Pretty hard to do. - Stay hungry my friends, just not here. read more

I really like the spicy tuna rolls here, it's probably my favorite. The place isn't too fancy but I think it's good for casual lunches and dinners with my friends and family, since it's not too expensive. They give you a lot of food for the noodles and rice so it's easy to share with everyone in bigger parties. read more

One of our absolute favorites in Wilton! Extremely attentive servers. People happy to be at work. Great to see a crowd at lunch for their incredible $7 lunch special. The pan asian menu is fantastic. Literally every dish we've tried has been delicious. Their Japanese rolls are great, Thai dishes are wonderful and classic Chinese dishes are fantastic as well. We bring the kids for dinner and they are given special attention. Hunan Cafe is terrific for families and for a date. Our highest recommendation! read more

Food is very good and I've always just gotten take out. The dining room actually looks pretty nice and would be worth trying some time. Haven't tried the sushi because I always go to Reiki Sushi in Wilton for that but it might be worth checking out. My wife loves the mu shu and I've had shredded beef and orange chicken which were very tasty and well prepared. read more

So my girlfriend and I are new to the area and we wanted to have some Chinese food. Food was rather decent, until, we saw a 2 inch green worm in our dish!!! GROSS! We wanted to walk out of there so fast, but they still charged us for the meal. That was our first time there and definitely our last time there. read more

Food is OK. Service is not so great. I have had better service at orems dinner than here. Staff isn't that friendly. They can't describe the food and If you don't mind your waiter putting his fingers too close to the rim of your glass and then you will be fine. Take out is Your best bet read more

Yubi and Jason are amazing hosts! I know that the fish will always be fresh ( I have gotten sick in other nearby sushi places) and they will listen to what you like and make sure your food is fresh and just what you wanted. I even had a staff member run over to the nearby grocery store to make sure they had cucumber when I walked in- because I like my rolls Naruto style. I travel here from Bethel. It's worth it! read more

The Hunan Cafe used to be a spot for good Chinese food. It's gone way down hill over the years. After several really disappointing experiences, I won't be going back. It's a shame, as I would love to get Chinese take-out once a week, as I used to. If it was merely ok, I'd probably put up with it, as there are no other decent Chinese restaurants in the area, but sadly it's gone from good, to mediocre, to bad. read more

This place is convenient, since it's in a good location for people who are on lunch breaks or getting a bite to eat while running errands. The egg rolls are bigger than any Asian restaurants I've been to. I will warn you that this place serves entrees that are really greasy though. I don't think one can go wrong with any of the foods on the menu. I give it a 3.5 stars rating. read more
