They do not offer table service as they are low on staff but you can dine in with your to-go order. They prive you cups, water, you can order soda, utensils, etc. You can order ahead or order when you get there. It was incredibly busy so we were hoping for some good Chinese food. The ambiance is an old Chinese restaurant that used to have a buffet, but it was clean. What we ordered: - kung pao chicken: I thought the flavors were good, the right amount of heat and I absolutely love Chinese broccoli so this was good for me! It has peanuts and your typical celery so this didn't disappoint. - spicy chicken garlic: nice spice, but it was drenched in sauce. There were more vegetables than meat, so paying $12-16 for something with minimum meat seems a bit of a rip off. - spicy shrimp garlic: it was the same but with shrimp. I asked for extra shrimp and they charged $3, which is fine but I would think it would be heaping with shrimp, but it was the same as the chicken. - orange chicken: perfectly fried and the sauce was not overpowering of orange. My daughter enjoyed it, it was spicy but had a nice heat to it. - chicken lo mein: my daughter loved it. It was good and the noodles were mushy. - cheese Rangoon: a bit disappointing as I wanted some flavor other than cream cheese. It had a sweetness to it but a little green onions:chives would have made it better. - pork fried rice: didn't have a lot of soy flavor. It was mild and lack luster. While I wouldn't say don't eat here, it was one of the better eats of Taos in our opinion. If you're looking for Chinese food around the area, I'd try them out if you can't find anything else to eat. read more

No complaints here. It's always tricky ordering Chinese Food outside of big cities with Chinatowns so best to lower your expectations and not compare. The standard favorites will taste different everywhere you go. We ordered Peking Duck 1/2 and Hunan Lamb mid afternoon and warmed it up a few hours later in the oven. It was very good. The duck tasted great though a little on the small side for 1/2 a duck. The Hunan Lamb was mildly spicy and moist, not in a thick sauce, just light sautees to give it moisture, yes there were a few peppers and onion and that baby corn that so divides opinions. Just say no if you dont want it. We got a great dinner for $41.00. The service was very polite - my husband was Mr Paul, and a thank you for waiting. You can choose to eat in the restaurant but it is self service from your styrofoam containers and you clean up. These boys know about Lamb and we were very happy. read more

Hunan Chinese Restaurant - Hunan Lamb and Peking Duck, take it home to eat and make it look pretty - Chinese Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

I've eaten here 1 other time. This time it's all kind of self serve. You order at the checkout stand. Seat yourself. You have to get your own silverware at the buffet line that isn't a buffet today. You take a pitcher of water to your table. I ordered Coconut Shrimp. My friend ordered Terriyaki Chicken. The Terriyaki chicken was excellent but the coconut shrimp was a bit over cooked and hard to eat. Had steamed Pork dumplings and spring rolls. They were very good as well. read more

Not comfortable complaining because I've been a satisfied customer of Hunan in past years; first time back for about 6 months. This time however I was very disappointed. Usually food is fresh and flavorful but this time all four dishes were bland and dry. Pork fried rice seemed like it was old and overcooked. Hopefully this meal was an anomaly but I can't in good conscience recommend this restaurant. Thank You. read more

The food was average, and you can order and you can sit inside and eat out do turn to go food. The expectation minus the service is a tip. So despite you throwing your own trash and eating out of styrofoam and cleaning up after yourself the staff expects a tip. Lunch for me and two little people $60.... I think I'll pass.... read more

Great good. Always cooked well. Staff very friendly. Take out only. Always our go-to Asian food in Taos.

Whoever is working the counter and taking the orders is doing a terrible job. Half of my order was completely wrong. Food is usually decent but the service is definitely lacking. read more

**TAKE OUT ONLY AS OF 3/22** Nice service These guys get slammed so please be patient We got someone's large order of steamed rice PRO TIP: 1. Check your order before you drive off 2. Ask for plates (if you're staying at a hotel) The food containers are microwave safe (nice) I got my Chinese food fix just fine. It isn't as tasty as other places I've been to but considering... this did the trick. I would come again, give it a try! Qîng xiângyóng read more

Ordered takeout General Tao's Tofu NOT what I received so I called and informed them only to be told "every restaurant makes it different" different sure but this had red and green bell pepper, baby corn, water chestnuts and mushrooms. I'm in my 60's and have ordered Gen Tao's many times (vegan) in CA, FL, NM, TN, CO, AZ, OK etc and NEVER has it been prepared like this. Wish I could say we enjoyed it anyway but we did not. Neither of us are fans of bell peppers and I personally dislike baby corn, water chestnuts AND mushrooms, thanks for nothing guys. read more

My normal place was closed so tired here. Takeout only at this point. Ordered over the phone and food was ready quick. I ordered the pepper chicken and it was good but I had to use soy sauce to add some flavor to it. read more

We ordered from these folks last night, WONDERFUL!!! They were very busy, but worth the short wait for take out!! They are slammed, had just returned, but are take out only, short of workers. We would totally return, but are passing thru. It was better than we expected, and portions were VERY generous GO SEE THEM!!!! We had Pot stickers, Moo Gai Pan, Three deleight and pork fried rice EXCELLENT!!! read more

All our dishes were fresh and delicious! They are takeout only, but do have some tables open to eat at if you are passing through, just no table service. Our order was ready when we arrived and the whole family enjoyed it. read more

Quick and easy. They are still doing takeout and no indoor seating. Service is still very quick!

I had the Kung Pao Chicken from the lunch menu which came with rice, an egg roll and egg drop soup. The egg roll was small, but tasty. I must say the egg drop soup was fabulous and next time I will order a larger serving. As of 1/13/24 only take out, no dine in. The service was under 10 minutes for my take out order. read more

We've eaten here a few times in the past, and this review is posted with the understanding that one's options for good, authentic Chinese food in the area are limited. That being said, things have gone downhill a bit over time. First of all, the decor hasn't changed a bit, and it needs to. While not unclean, it is looking tired and worn. Some fresh paint, cleaned &/or new carpets, etc. are really called for. The food also, has become more Americanized and less authentic. Spice levels have diminished and it seems like the cooks have given up. On semi-related note, the do offer chow fun noodles, which are a thicker flat rice noodle. I really enjoy these, but when they arrived they were broken and overcooked, and the sauce was lackluster. All and all, disappointing, reminding me more of a generic 'golden panda' at a food court. read more

Great Chinese foods in Taos. It's real Chinese taste, fitting well with my stomach. I ordered three dishes for my family. I liked them all.

This place is by far one of the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever been to in my life. We only came here because it was one of the few Chinese restaurant in town and my parents wanted Chinese food. We gave the place 2 tries and it failed us both times. The main problem is that so many of their food were UNDERCOOKED! I'm not sure whether it was just because they were rushing the food due to high amount of orders during the holiday season but it was pretty ridiculous. Out of the 8 dishes we ordered in 2 days, the undercooked items we identified were the wontons and the meats in the wonton soup, shrimps in the friend rice, chewy eggplants in the eggplant dish, and even the white rice! How can the white rice be undercooked in a Chinese restaurant? And they weren't just slightly undercooked. We expressed our concerns at the end of our second meal but the waiter came back with a message from the chef that "no one else has complained about the food before". Wow. I gave this place 1.5 stars only because the rest of the food was edible and none of us got sick afterwards. Don't be fooled by the name of the place because it doesn't really have any authentic Hunan (or even Chinese) food. The menu had the dishes in Chinese but you have to read the small descriptions in English because the dish might not match what the dish name is commonly used for. Also, no one in the restaurant spoke Chinese as far as we know. Lastly, the place was severely understaffed. There were only 2 waiters and 1 half-waitress (water refills only) for the entire restaurant. This resulted in extremely slow services for both nights we were there. read more

Hunan Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

First time at this restaurant, my wife had combo lo mein, I had seafood noodle stir fry. I'm not even kidding, coming from Denver with about 14,000 Chinese restaurants, this was REALLY GOOD! Although, how can you run out of egg rolls???? Had to settle for spring rolls but even they were good. I would defiantly recommend this for good tasting Chinese food. read more

Wish someone had reviewed the wonton soup... More like clumps of glue that are so gelatinous God only knows how long they have been sitting in this broth. BEWARE if you are looking for "normal" wonton soup... This is not it! It's filled with fatty pork slices, all kinds of veggies for a filler. They need to call this soup something else! It was mediocre with little flavor. Bottom line, if your looking for clear broth with filled wontons floating in it, pass theirs up!! read more

Amazing food for this area. We had Kung Pao Squid with peanuts, Szechuan Beef, and Two Mushrooms with Snow peas. We specifically requested everything to be extra spicy as that's how we both enjoy it. The squid was so tender as was the beef. The snow peas were so fresh and green. So sad that Hubby devoured the food before I could take photos. Definitely worth returning to as it was all so delicious. The restaurant was quite large as well. I am basing my stars given the fact there are only 2 chinese restaurants in the area. read more

Went in for Christmas dinner take out. The Imperial Shrimp, Fried Rice, Beef and Snow Pea Pods and Teriyaki Chicken was super tasty. The portions were generous and service was excellent! Great prices too. Thanks for being open! read more

I've lived in Taos for 8 yrs and hunan has had pretty good food until yesterday..Whoever made my kung pow chicken lunch portion used nothing but the terrible(not spicy) chili oil as sauce, so my food was DRENCHED in 3" of oil! Probably unhealthy oil at that! Everything is to-go now, so I hope they know I pooped all night and day. Thanks day cook. read more

Amazing Chinese food! I got the Kung Pao chicken and it was amazing! It was the best Chinese food out of New York. I will definitely be back! read more

The worst , absolute 50.00$ order of to go food I've ever had, they should be embarrassed about the product they serve!!!!!!

Delicious Chinese food! Good portions. Egg RollIt was take out only when we were there.

As always, we get takeout from hunan's each time we visit Taos, Cashew Chicken, Chicken w Broccoli, and brown rice to die for! Efficient, friendly service as well.Just consistent and tasty. read more

Terrible Food. Order a curry chicken taste like nothing but some soy sauce chicken. I know they used to serve buffet food but even buffet food will taste better than what I had. Food is cheap but absolutely tasteless. Hope you enjoy better than I did. read more

We really enjoyed the takeout after spring skiing. I had the generals chicken and my wife had the moo goo gai pan. Both were fantastic. They have a seperate kids menu that my son enjoyed. read more

Hunan Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

A friend has the chicken noodle soup and said it was some of the best she's had. The egg drop soup was good, too, but we wished we'd gotten friend won tons to go with it. I had the cashew chicken and it was ok, and another friend had the sweet and sour chicken and said it was very good. The vegetables in garlic sauce were tasty but a little over cooked. All being said, everything was pretty good! read more

Not bad, not incredible - exactly what cheap Chinese food should be. The service is great, and the servings are generous for the price. read more

We're here in Taos, New Mexico for a ski trip with some family and friends and we stopped by here for dinner. We came in around 5:30 PM, and there weren't that many people there. We had a party of about 16 and we were seated within 10 minutes which was pretty quick! We ordered family style and had an assortment of plate from pan fried noodles, orange beef, general tsos chicken, and several other dishes. The food was really good especially the General tsos chicken which was my favorite out of all of them. The dishes came with fried rice and steamed rice as well. (The fried rice served with the family style meal wasn't all too special to be honest) The service here was exceptional and they treated us amazingly! If you're wanting some Chinese food and are in the area do come here! read more

Good food, good service. Stopped by on a recent pass by. Place is bigger than expected from a small town Chinese restaurant

Food is not good and the service is worse. Ordered takeout and got home to realize that half of my order was missing. When I called to ask what happened they were rude and there was no apology, only an offer for store credit for next time. After months of offering carry out only, one would think they would have a better system. read more

The food was over cooked, and tasteless. I was up all night with hard gas, and spent the night on the toilet. I won't be eating there again.

I got the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life. This is awful. It's three a m and I kind of want to die. I have seen other reviews that are similar, but I have been eating at Hunan for years and I have never gotten sick. However, I have been proven wrong now. I will never go back. read more

Rude front of the restaurant. I was on hold for TEN minutes waiting to see if a particular dish could be made and then when I called back two women snapped at me over the phone. So I decided to forget it and go to the other Chinese restaurant in town which is actually polite and enjoyable. Last time I ate here the food was ... a little bland and lots of msg. So two stars at the most. read more

Good hot and sour soup and that was just to start. The Chicken with green beans was my wife's favorite and mine was the pan fried noodles with chicken. We also had BBQ pork fried rice, a bit to much fat on the pork for me but the dish was good. We also had a spicy scallops dish, but the chili hid the taste of the scallops, I should have known better. If it sounds like this was a lot of food for 2 people, it was also lunch and dinner for us the next day! Our waiter was a very funny guy, good service and entertainment to! It has much better A/C than most Taos restaurants and is open on Sunday. read more

We ate there a little less than an hour ago and we already feel sick to our stomachs. We ordered, "Empress chicken" and found maggots in the chicken. When we confronted the staff about it, they lied. We won't be going there anytime soon. read more
