This has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants we ever visited that actually have a dedicated gluten free menu. My wife is a celiac so when we visit from out of town we always come here and she's never had any bad reactions. Thank you! read more

I used to come here when I was younger with my family and remember the restaurant being busy and clean. I walked in yesterday to have dinner and we immediately noticed the tables were empty, both in terms of customers and ...silverware/dishes. We sat down a little confused, and then someone came over and threw (like, actually tossed them, no exaggeration) PAPER plates in front of us and dropped takeout menus on our table and walked away. I have never been so shocked at a restaurant. We looked over and saw the table next to us (only other people in the restaurant) being served their food in takeout containers. It felt like we were inconveniencing the employees to be eating there and we didn't want to pay restaurant prices to be served with disposable plates and silverware. It was all very odd. We decided to leave and go somewhere else. You can't run a sit-down restaurant if you're not willing to serve customers properly. This isn't a takeout restaurant, it's a restaurant that does takeout, but they seem to have completely abandoned their dine-in service without bothering to telling customers. Very odd! read more

Food is Amazon fresh and quick delivery It's cooked to perfection exactly how I ordered it read more

Amazing food. Cute little family Chinese restaurant. Service amazing. Fast delivery time. I love the egg drop wonton soup, the egg roll, and the beef lo mein. Very good at accommodating for my mom who has celiac. read more

We ordered take out which was very disappointing. The steamed dumplings were fishy and rubbery. The ribs were bad. They had no sauce and no taste. It's a shame. read more

This spot I stumbled upon because had a craving for boneless spare ribs and the usual spot was closed. First thing I'd say is who would agree with me that all boneless ribs should by default come with spicy mustard on the side? Overall I'd say won't soup was good but light on flavor. The boneless ribs were alright but I wish they had some more bbq sauce on them. The fried rice was surprisingly better than most places. Like they actually took white rice and fried it! Will try this place again and request sauce on the ribs. Also curious about their other menu items read more

I have celiac disease and so does my mom. We have been ordering take out from here for at least 5 years and never have gotten sick. The dishes are always labeled GF and placed in a different bag than the regular non GF food. Highly recommend. Always skeptical about eating out, but I feel safe ordering from here. Thank you!! read more

My wife was craving Chinese food so she decided to come here and order chicken and broccoli along with beef chow mein. It's looking delicious. I'm very impressed with the pricing and the quality of the food. read more

Hunan Cottage - Chicken n broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Plainview, New York

See all

Heard rave reviews from this place that offer tons of gluten free choicest to choose from. Having celiac disease i have not had Chinese food in 6+ years. I ordered the chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce. Extra spicy. I love spice. They gave me such a huge portion of food, which huge in the gluten free world. After taking the first bite I could remember what I've been missing for 6 yrs. It was so delicious you couldn't tell it was gluten free. I cant wait to go back. read more

They seem to have given up on the sit down clientele. Food was served in plastic containers and paper plates.

Visit Date: September 29, 2019 I came here with one of my friends after she suggested it to me. Since going gluten free I've hesitated to eat Chinese, Japanese, Asian or Thai food very often but I was happy to learn that this place had a whole gluten free menu. I wanted to get something healthy but I've been terrible with eating lately and have put on maybe half the weight I lost unfortunately and it's been a long time since I had some sesame chicken so I opted for sesame chicken and it was delicious. My friend and I were the only two people sitting in the restaurant when we ate there but I give props to the owners or wait staff who were amazing about our kids. It's so iffy taking your little one to any restaurant, you're not sure how the owners are going to be towards kids, for me even though my son's gotten better than when he was 1 & 2, I still don't know if he will sit at the table the whole time we are trying to eat. The people working the restaurant showed amazing patience and didn't chide us for our kids being kids. I love hunan cottage and if it was closer to me I'd get food from there more often. read more

I love everything about this place. I order takeout from them on a regular weekly basis, and they always delight me with the quality of the food, the size of the portions, the SPEED of delivery, and the SUPERIOR QUALITY OF SERVICE. No matter how much I've come to expect superior food and service, they always find a way to wow me. read more

This used to be my families place for Chinese food when I was younger. That was like 20 years ago. Since then I have moved out and haven't eaten here, as my parents have a different spot that they frequent. I decided to order from here again remembering how the sesame chicken was always great. I ordered the sesame chicken and chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce and they were both really good. The sesame chicken was made with white-meat chicken and the serving size was really good. The chicken and broccoli had a great spice to it with the garlic sauce, and the broccoli was really crispy. I have ordered three time since revisiting and 2 out of the 3 orders were also really good. read more

A bit pricey but they have a ton of gluten free options and food was great. Would definitely order again

I hate to say this, but this place has seriously gone down hill over the last 2 years. Food consistency and def food quality is just awful. Something as simple as chicken lo mein came in with maybe 4 pieces of really gnarly chicken and a small handful of veggies with almost no flavor at all. What was disgusting was the chicken, my God, it was so tough and grizzly - I'd NEVER order that again. Also got combo platters, again, for the increased prices, it's just bad. Not enough meat and the quality of the meat is questionable. I can't believe in Plainview there isn't one, really good Chinese take out place. Very best is still Precious in E Northport. Take the ride one day, worth it. Best ginger chicken EVER. read more

I've been coming here for years, probably since I was in middle school with my family. And it's still super delicious and fresh! When I would come here back in the day, with my family, we would dine in and have exceptional service. Now as of recently, I do take out with my boyfriend. A few favorites of ours are the boneless ribs, green jade chicken, and general tso chicken. Everything taste very fresh and we actually know we are eating chicken and not some mystery meat. There is an extra $1 charge for all white meat, but it's absolutely worth it. The Green Jade Chicken is a personal favorite of mine. It's lightly battered chicken in a ginger sauce with ginger and string beans. The taste is very unique and delicious. They also have a ton of vegetarian dishes made of soy bean protein. It gives vegetarians and vegans a chance to have Chinese food that doesn't involve only tofu and veggies. Pick up is always fast and efficient and service is friendly! read more

After being closed for a couple of months from the beginning of this mess Hunan Cottage is open again. I don't know if it is under the same ownership since the menu is the same but the food is better. during the Covid period my reviews have two components one is the quality of food and the other is the ease of ordering and safety and smoothness of the transaction. Hunan is 5 stars on both. When checking out a new Chinese restaurant I order Orange beef as a test. Great if done well horrible if not so easy to judge. Thick tender juicy pieces of beef filling the container. Enough for 2 meals. Just the right amount of spice without an overwhelming amount of Orange peels. Seafood hot n sour soup was excellent but be aware that it is a lot spicier than regular hot n sour. Transaction was smooth and safe. They have a little table in the lobby where the prepared orders are so you open the door and pick up your food. No human contact and was ready on time. read more

This place is great. They totally understand "gluten free". They offer items like shumai, spare ribs and all kinds of noodle dishes. Everything is delicious and their non gluten items are as delicious as any place in Plainview. read more

GLUTEN FREE options on a gluten free menu! Good stuff! I have only eaten the General Tso's Chicken and the Kung Pao Chicken from the gluten free menu, but it's good. I have purchased meals here to go about 10 times now. Still pleased. Tell your gluten free friends about this place. The inside isn't anything fancy, but the food is what counts. Best way is to get it to go. They also deliver. Kind workers and decent service. Prices are a little bit above average. I suggest you stop by and try the gluten free options. read more

Hunan Cottage - Gluten free General Tso's Chicken with white meat and white rice. - Chinese Near Me - Plainview, New York

The food here is very good, which is why they've been managed to be a staple in the community for so many years. They have an extensive began menu that has been around long before being vegan was trendy. I'm not vegan but enjoy trying their vegan items and they are always tasty. read more

My personal favorite place to order/dine in for Chinese food. Always the best, most kind service. Lovely vegan options as well!

The soup was good but everything else was horrible. The eggroll was mundane. The sesame chicken, white meat was so dry Iy was inedible. The roast pork lo mein which is never bad tasted odd. I think the noodles for too thick. This was a delivery water and I was very disappointing read more

Mmmm. Good food and good service. Got the crispy Szechuan beef and egg drop soup. Everything was tasty. I'll definitely go Back. read more

Easily one of the best in the area. We are lo mein junkies and their veggie lo mein is top notch. We also often get veggie fried rice and veggie dumplings- so tasty and fresh. Highly recommend this chinese over others in the Plainview/Hicksville area. read more

Hunan Cottage has become our 100% go-to for Chinese food. When my in-laws moved into the area, we got them hooked... and they haven't even bothered to learn about anyone else in the area; they refuse to order from anyone but Hunan Cottage. My only complaint, thus far, as been that I don't love their dumplings, but they're still pretty good. Every single time that we order from them, we feel satisfied but not bloated. The chicken dishes, which we favor, are always crispy or well steamed, depending on the dish, and the vegetables always taste like they're fairly fresh, not frozen. We've never gotten a headache, never gotten sick, never had a complaint on a single blasted thing about this place. Now, I trend towards getting the Hot and Sour soup, but their wontons are delicious, and the wonton soup is really smooth tasting. Excellent egg rolls and spring rolls, but my favorite appetizer has been their cold sesame noodles - just the right ratio of peanut butter! It's easy to fall into favorites with this place, but we do branch out, and have tried a good amount of their food... and, again, have never. ever. had a bad dish. read more

Delish gluten free Chinese food!!! I was super excited to order from them and they did not disappoint!!!

If you're like me, you probably don't have high expectations for Chinese take out and just looking for a cheap meal to satisfy cravings. This place really exceeded my expectations. I got the lunch special with general Tso chicken and an egg roll and it was really good. For sure one of the better Chinese takeout places I've had. The egg roll was tasty but nothing that spectacular, but the general Tso was really good. The portion size was good for me and the chicken wasn't dry at all like some other places. Plus the staff is really friendly and they have a small parking lot. If your looking to satisfy your Chinese takeout craving, try out this place. You won't be let down! read more

0 for 2 and I did not even get to the food ! The Zombie was not the drink I have had many times over the years at all kinds of Chinese restaurants. And the hot and sour soup tasted burned. Sorry, just left without ordering food. Giving 3 stars because I did not try the food read more

Great gluten free options; never disappoints i usually get the shrimp or veggie dishes! Love everything!

The best gluten free chinese food ever! Definitely worth a drive out here! I live in Queens and come every so often, I wish I was closer because it is so good. They have an entire menu dedicated to gluten free eaters and they have soy sauce. They can do many gluten free options including noodles!! read more

Ordered orange chicken delivery. Food came fast. That's where things go south. Bland, over-breaded, no flavor, dry, stringy meat. Inedible. First time iv ever taken a bite of take out and it was so bad that iv had to throw it out immediately. Tastes no less than 2 months old frozen microwaved chicken. Would not feed this to a dog. I'd rather starve, literally - it was THAT bad. read more

Food tasted fresh and good. Only that any breaded or batter fried chicken item hardly has any chicken in it, only skin and fat dipped in some kind of batter and fried. Delivery was quick and prices for lunch menu reasonable. read more

I am a big fan of this Chinese restaurant. The food is fresh and very well prepared. The sauces are not goopy and thick. The service is nice and friendly.decor is pleasant and the place is very clean. I like the people, the food and the vibe. It is a real neighborhood place. Not fancy just good. You need to ask for the soup to be hot though. Everything else cones out hot. read more

New ownership. Great service extremely accommodating for gluten free. Lots of options. Waitress Mandy is the best

I went here because they say they offer gluten free options. I ordered the roast port mei fun which is my usual at any chinese place since it is GF already; it was great. Lots of flavor. I asked about the gluten free options and the man said they will make any dish GF if asked for in advance. This is not true, they will just tell you what is and is not gf. The fried rice IS NOT gluten Free but the brown rice is. Plus there is no substitutions for the lunch menu. I asked to replace the soup with a drink since I can't have either the egg roll or soup and I was told no. It has a nice sit in section and a bar. Overall I liked the food so that is the most important part I'll probably go back but I'm now more aware that they do not change any of their menu items just advise you to pick something else. Oh well... read more

Yum, affordable neighborhood chinese place, always busy whether with locals eating in or ordering out for the perfect Sunday night meal. After all, the jews love chinese food on Sundays, obvi. Try the shrimp and eggplant in garlic sauce (it's not on the menu but you can ask f it for a very reasonable $11.95) or ask for a combination meal! (Hunan Chicken with soup and rice for $8.95) Remember it's always faster, much faster to order take out instead of delivery. Don't be so lazy. read more

Average food with excellent service. They are very accommodating to dietary needs here. They went prepared our friends food to her specific dietary needs without hesitation or attitude. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The food was okay, nothing special but certainly not bad. The menu is varied, with a large selection of vegan options. read more

The only place I can seem to count on to make absolutely amazing gluten free Chinese food! I travel quite a bit to come here, but its always worth it and my food stays piping hot until I get home. My favorites are of course either Sesame Chicken or General Tso's. read more

Please see my profile for the location of my blog where you can find the complete review and pics. Hunan Cottage is your basic Chinese restaurant with a selection of mock meats on a separate menu. It's a bright, cheery place, (unless you take exception with the fish tank), that calls out suburbia. There is acre after acre of floor space between the tables, and this much real estate would never be allowed in NYC. It's almost lonely but nice to know your conversation isn't being shared with 6 other people. There was only 1 other table occupied when we went. Our waiter was indeed attentive but not intrusive. Hard to say what a friday night might be like as I've seen the line out the door. One bone to pick is that we were given standard menus. I had to ask for the vegan ones. Once again, I ask, "Why?" Pickled cabbage, fried noodles and duck sauce are standard. Ask for mustard and hot chili oil. For our appetizer we ordered the veggie dumplings and mock calamari. They were out of the calamari and the dumplings were the usual doughy, (my speed), wrapping with a mixed greens, bok choy, and mushroom filling. Not overly bursting with flavor but a nice holder for whatever sauce you might fancy. You can see the thickness of the dough. We ordered 3 entrees: Sesame mock chicken, Orange flavored mock beef and the Buddah's Delight. Both of the mock meats were pretty standard. The chicken was a chunky style and some pieces were a bit chewier than the others. The beef was a sliced style and had a nice chew to it, just a bit softer than jerky. Both sauces were the thick gloppy-ish (I also like a little bit of glop), syrupy sauces. Both were a bit on the sweet side with the Sesame chicken being a bit less so. Sesame "chicken". The Orange Beef had a thick sauce which was more like a glaze. It had a nice hint of orange but I found the dish had none of the usual heat. I mean not one chili pepper. Orange "beef". The Buddah's Delight was also served in a thicker sauce. I have had it a few times previously and it was in an almost light broth. This was the third sweet sauce and was a bit of an overload for me but whose fault is that? The veggies were fresh and cooked perfectly, just to the point of soft yet crisp. Broccoli, mushrooms, water chestnuts, zucchini, peppers and corn. Buddah's Delight. "Chicken" "Beef" I think the Hunan Cottage is a restaurant where you'll find what I sort of call run of the mill suburban Asian food. It's middle of the road spice profile designed to not offend more than to stimulate. It's good solid food though and there's nothing wrong, in my book, with dipping your food in chili oil or mustard. It's certainly not going to blow my socks off but neither is it going to be less than good food. It's a solid place to go with mixed diners who aren't looking for a vegan meal. I did ask and was told that there is no egg or dairy in the mock meats so for my money this place is definitely on the list with an eye towards ordering some of the less sweet dishes. Not bad for an appetizer, 3 mains, and 2 desserts. read more
