Excellent Chinese food. I had the Sizzling Tofu. It was great. The service is brisk, not woodsy-groovy friendly, and the ambience is spare, but I really liked the food.. read more

Stay away. Trust. Try it and you'll understand. At the restaurant May 2026. Couldn't care less that you are a guest at their restaurant. Tasteless,, oily and unappealing "food". We've tried the restaurant once before and thought to give it another chance. Same. Maybe one day they will figure it out. We are locals and we can use a quality competitor since they're the only came in town. read more

Hunan Chinese Restaurant - Pork Egg Foo Young. - Chinese Near Me - Woodruff, Wisconsin

We had takeout from this restaurant twice the past couple of weeks. My husband enjoyed the General Tao's chicken both times. He had ordered me a noodle dish that was supposed to be with all the meats but when I got it, it was vegetarian. He thinks he had ordered wrong. The second time he asked over the phone if they had a Happy Family with noodles and they said only with rice so I had that. It was ok but I still prefer the noodle dishes. He picked up a paper menu the second time so now we have something to look at as we couldn't find much for menu online. Both times we have asked for spicy for our dishes but we had to add our own spice to the dishes. That may be because we are use to eating Thai food. Next time we will order very spicy and see what we get. My husband did not feel like they were very friendly when he picked the orders up, nor were they very helpful over the phone. But, they are only a mile away from where we just moved to and the food is decent enough to warrant us coming back, unless the area gets a full time Thai restaurant. read more

The crispy duck my daughter and I each had was exceptional. Tender on the inside and very crispy on the outside. It came out quickly, too. The woman who served us was kind and attentive. The place could use some new carpeting drastically. read more

Hunan Chinese Restaurant - I'm a "fan" of the crispy duck. I take a picture, but it was too delicious and I ate it all too quickly. - Chinese Near Me - Woodruff, Wisconsin

Just no I WOULDNT EAT THIS IF IT WAS THE ONLY THING I HAD it's so bad literally even the rice like how do you mess RICE UP and the chicken sauce was watery and it tasted like nothing it used to be good before COVID but now it's ass I used to love this place too but yea definitely not worth your money read more

Food is ok if you can get what you ordered, waitress brought wrong food for the two of us. While waiting for lunch we had to entertain 4 year old child of waitress who demanded that we read a story, we were only customers, mother ignored child entire time we were there. Paid for meal, asked waitress for change for 5$ bill, waitress took bill and placed bill in tip jar...hmmm, also, customer came in for take out meal, bags were brought out, customer took all bags and left, shortly afterwards another customer came in and asked for his take out order, seems that previous customer accidentally took the wrong order along with his...waitress went back to kitchen and it sounded like world war 3 had started with whoever was back there...blaming old man for taking the food...like I said, food was ok, being entertained like this was priceless. Happy new year! read more

Excellent service, wonderful fresh food, well prepared. If you're in the mood for Chinese cuisine this is a great place. Portions a bit large so we ordered too much. But was great for breakfast at the hotel. Very pleasant atmosphere as well. Definitely would recommend and come back if we are in the area again. read more

I ordered vegetable egg foo young, it was mush. You could not discern any type of ingredient, just totally inedible! The egg roll was not bad which is how they even got 1 star. Look at this shrimp tempura, I assume there is a shrimp in there buried by the thickest softest breading I ever ate. Disgusting food. I need to add that on top of the egg foo young was a mixture of mushy vegetables which I've never seen in the many years of ordering this at other places. The rice was not sticky rice but fell apart leading me to believe it was some kind of instant white rice. Also the restaurant when you go in smells like sewage. I felt sorry for the one table of people eating there. I can't stress enough how awful the food was. I had to throw it all away. $26 down the toilet. read more

Hunan Chinese Restaurant - Shrimp Tempura - Chinese Near Me - Woodruff, Wisconsin

See all

If you are looking for a quiet place to have a good but not great dinner, this might be the place for you. We went on a Saturday at lunch time and we were the only folks in the place. They did seem to have good take out traffic. Food was good but not great. Both the egg drop and hot and sour soups were tasty and hot. Egg rolls were crisp but nothing special. Our entrees were good portioned but again no flavors that made the food stand out, but nothing bad. We were hoping for better, but with that said we will probably give them another try. read more

Ordered carry out Shrimp Lo Mien. I walked out with my brown bag. Drove 12 miles home and opened the bag and it's Shrimp Fried Rice. The hostess doesn't write anything down, I paid cash and she gives no receipt. I put this big disappointment out for the varmints to enjoy. Waste of time and money. Don't trust your order...VERIFY IT read more

Hunan Restaurant a typical, small town Chinese restaurant, not unlike thousands of such places across the country. That said -- within the genre -- their food is as tasty and as well prepared as any of the similar restaurants I have eaten at over the last 50 years. It won't blow you away, but it won't disappoint you either. Now normally I would give an establishment like Hunan three stars (which for me means everything was fine) but during this time of COVID I am giving five star reviews in support of restaurants and other establishments that are observing safe practices for the health and well being of their customers. (Conversely, places that have ignored safe practices now automatically get one star in my reviews.) Hunan merits five stars for taking the pandemic seriously and following all the recommended safe practices for our region. On to the food: For our most recent visit we ordered take out (the dining room was still closed due to COVID). It was ready when promised. The portions were more than ample for the price. The steamed dumplings were standard fare but I liked them a lot. The hot and sour soup was a tad thicker than I like (too much starch) and a bit lacking on the hot side. The house special Lo Mein was well seasoned with plenty of proteins. The chicken Kung Pao had a nice amount of heat -- something that is usually lacking in American versions of Kung Pao. Hopefully someday Chinese restaurants in America will prepared this dish with the same "ma-la" (simultaneously spicy hot and numbing) as one finds in the food of Chengdu, Szechuan, China. Until then Hunan's Kung Pao will do. read more

Finished trying to convince myself this is good any longer. Greasy spring rolls. Wonton soup with wonton so tough a spoon would cut not to mention flavorless broth. Odd unwelcoming service details which I hesitate to describe but let's say it wouldn't pass any food service inspection rules. My entree was supposed to be Mongolian chicken. I've had this many many times and this was not properly prepared from the chicken to the missing ingredients. I even googled it on the spot (just looked at it myself) and I was right! It's like assembled vs cooked food. Chicken slices add a thick brown sauce some canned mushrooms (don't belong) toss it and pass it off. We will never be back and cannot recommend unless you don't want authentic - or even flavorful - food. No stars should be an option. read more

This was the absolute worst Chinese restaurant I have ever been to! What Chinese place makes egg roles with sour kraut? Either that or they used rotten cabbage! Couldn't even eat them. Pretty sure they used minute rice for the pork fried rice we ordered too. read more

Bad they gave us the food and didn't tell what's what all lazy but whatever it just sucks tho I ate meat cause I thought my dish was vegetarian read more

The staff is amazing and I love them. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Minocqua is lucky to have them! I live in Madison and I look forward to it whenever I visit. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious! Service was prompt and the ambiance is nice. I would definitely go again.

Egg rolls Akins were not cook, doughy. Mongolian beef was bland and tasteless. Service was bad. Would not recommend this.

We used to live near Lake Tomahawk and we're back for a visit and ate at Hunan's...we're delighted the food was as good as we remembered! Definitely will return next trip! read more

Good quality Chinese American cooking. Tasty food generous portions lots of fresh vegetables with good service . Family run so it feels down home and friendly read more

Very disappointed - the server rolled his eyes when he brought our canned soda and we asked for a glass of ice. He also never came to our table to check if everything was OK. We had the Flaming Dynasty for two. The crab rangoon was not sweet, the fried wonton was overcooked and very tough to eat, and all the deep fried foods were very greasy. I had the egg drop soup and there was no flavor to it - I added salt and it helped. The paper wrapped chicken was wrapped in foil, but the chicken was very tender and good. I have eaten at many Hunan restaurants before which were very good, but this experience was the worst. Not sure if I will come back to this restaurant again. read more

Their Hot & Sour Soup is disgustingly boatloaded with preservatives that they're apparently unwilling to remove from the recipe. And their Kung Pao Beef isn't bad, but it really isn't all that great either. read more

We got take out a number of times during the pandemic here and food was good. Stopped in yesterday for lunch and seems like the quality has slipped. Lo mein not great and wonton soup was barely warm. Prices are up as well. read more

Amazing food for a decent price. Any time we are in the woodruff area we have a meal from hunan. We always order the steamed dumplings & general tao's chicken. Usually get hot & sour soup & have tried the chicken teriyaki which is amazing as well. read more

This is a cute place in the Northwoods. They have a large menu and the food is great! I cannot eat soy sauce or flour and they were able to accommodate me with a delicious veggie dish. The tea is really good too! We cannot wait to go back . Nice service as well. read more

The food was so good!! The service was wonderful as well! The restaurant is family run so it feels very homely and welcoming.

I love Hunan's. I've loved it most of my life. I live in Chicago now and it's a funny funny world when Hunan in good ol' Woodruff is better than most the restaurants we frequent in Chinatown. They have the best dumplings in the world. Yes, seriously in the world - ok, maybe not the world - but the best in the Great Lakes area at the very least. In the 15+ years I've been dining at Hunan I've never had a bad meal. Never. It's been through several ownership changes over the years, yet it remains it's yummy, smoothly run self! Also, I must note, they are incredibly accommodating of large groups. Don't forget to consider Hunan's for your next Birthday celebration, graduation dinner, etc! read more

New menu sucks. Crab rangoon taste like rotten fish. Steamed Dumplings/Potstickers are made with different dough and are filled predominantly with veggies instead of meat. Lo mein noodles are the same, but the pork was thin and stringy. Frozen microwave Chinese food tastes better. Lost a customer. read more

We have gone here a couple of times to give them a fair chance and along with my in-laws. Every time the food was not good. The fried rice you can taste the old oil and the pork was dry. The bbq pork was also dry. Crab Rangoon was good. I really miss having good American Chinese food. read more

We walked in at 8pm and decided what we wanted at 8:20pm. When we tried to flag down the staff we were ignored and the guy who served us walked out. Shame I really wanted good Chinese food. I will never come back. We even flagged down the wait staff and when we asked to put in an order we were told she had to get to her other table. Note there was only two tables being serviced, the ones who were already there eating and us. Shit service read more

This was the quickest service I've ever had at a sit-down Chinese restaurant. Maybe even the fastest at ANY restaurant. Our group had 11 people in it and they had our meals out to us literally within minutes! We were all shocked at how fast they were. The food was hot and fresh and tasted great. We actually came back a couple days later because it had been such a positive experience. read more

We walked in, sat down, got some water. Ordered a couple of items. And after we saw small cockroaches on all of the water glasses, we quickly walked out. I would not trust a place that can't even keep it's glasses clean to keep the kitchen clean. Please avoid if you value your health and safety. read more

I was a bit surprised at the bug reviews as I have never seen any health issue here at all. I lived in NYC for over 30 years and have had food from many Chinese restaurants there, including in China Town. Hunan ranks pretty much on a par with the typical sit-down restaurant in Manhattan. Fresh, nicely spiced (a little surprising in the north woods), hot and lots of it. I recommend the lunch specials, which include soup, spring roll, choice of rice and a large portion of entree. Dinner portions usually require a to-go carton as even I can't finish one. read more

There is no hyperbole in the following statement: Hunans of Mincoqua, WI is the greatest Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. Let's put it like this: my choice for a last meal would be the wonton soup, fried dumplings (more on the dumplings to follow), and Schezwan shrimp. And, hey, how 'bout some cashew chicken on the side? Oh the dumplings....my god the dumplings! If there is one universal truth in this world it is that everyone agrees that the fried dumplings are the most delectable satchels of pork in the land. They are a necessity. If you do not order them you are missing out on the best thing on the menu. As a side note, if you go between 11-3pm, the lunch menu items are ridiculousness cheap and heaping. Egg roll, soup, and a (large) entree will cost you $5.95 to $6.50. Having recently moved closer to Chicago, one would think I would have stumbled upon a superior Chinese eatery than one in Podunk Wisconsin. Alas, I have not. And honestly, I don't think I ever will. read more

*WARNING* This is the absolute last time I will ever go to Hunans. I went with a group of friends, and got dinner, ordered chicken and seafood, 2 plates. Found a bug in the sea food plate. The lady looked at it and said "yuck, sorry" and then brought me out a new plate. Completely disgusted out. Out of curiosity started looking through the plate of chicken, and found another bug. The lady goes, "oh sorry". We politely asked for our check, and they made us pay for everything. The lady sat there and yelled at us to take the food home in boxes when we told her we were not eating the food anymore. She kept saying "no new plate, you pay" so we paid and walked out. Not trying to run anyone out of business, but I have seen Facebook posts about it and figured I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Officially seen it with my own eyes. If there was a 0 star rating they would most definitely be getting that. read more

Hunan Chinese Restaurant - Bug in food. - Chinese Near Me - Woodruff, Wisconsin

Good food at a great price. I eat here almost weekly when I'm home. While Hunan isn't the pinnacle of Chinese dining, the food is very good and the prices are ultra reasonable. Lunch combos run in the 6-dollar range and includes a spring roll and soup!.. read more

We've enjoyed the food here for years. Consistently delicious. Large portions. Very reasonable prices. Fast, efficient service. Not fancy but comfortable. read more

Fantastic Chinese food with great service! We love the appetizers & lunch specials. Fresh veggies & really good sauces without MSG. Always a treat to eat here. read more

The serving sizes are very good. But if you're new to Chinese food do some research about what items they serve as they have no photos and you'll spend ages asking "Whats that?." The items on the table are what you'd find at Ace Hardware's Dollar Store, which gives it a very tacky look. But the food is a solid 4 stars. Honestly, if they improved the interior or moved to another place or even had a buffet option I would go. They seem a bit better than some Chinese places around the area. The Good and the Bad: 1. No buffet (Which kind of stinks) so know what you're going to order. 2. Atmosphere is nice and quiet. 3. Utensils and things on the table are tacky. 4. Odd location (Very hard to park unless you're willing to run across busy traffic) 5. They are quick with service. Over all, its a good place to make a "to go order". I'm a regular. read more

A truly fantastic experience in one of the coziest places of northern Wisconsin. The atmosphere is both friendly and exotic and provides an ideal ambiance for dining. I have had the pleasure of trying multiple dishes, all of which have proven amazing. I highly recommend a stop into this restaurant with friends or family for an especially good time! read more

Went here thanks to Tiffany's yelp review and we were all very pleased. It was better than our wildest dreams of Chinese food in Northern Wisconsin. read more
