    Hunan Express phone number and lunch menu. 12/25/2025

    I have been to all the Chinese restaurants in the McLean (22101) zip code and this place has the best kung pao chicken. Parking is free though has only two tables but quick access to the front door for pick-ups. They also deliver. 703/ 821-9000

    Wow! I was impressed with this Chinese food establishment in McLean. Looking for Chinese style food Yelp again proved its value and the great ratings are well warranted though a bit dated. I generally find Chinese food to be a "craving" rather than a well planned meal but this food was so surprisingly good! Not too much sauce, great looking though sparse fresh vegetables , and noodles not soggy with oil, chicken thst was cooked to perfection. I was really really surprised and pleased. Oh, prices were incredibly reasonable. It's a tiny place with maybe 2 tables so definitely a take out place. Lack of vegetables and small dining area was the minus one star but for Chinese places this is a definite go-to! I'll be back!!

    Wrapped with loving care!

    Ordered takeout after I discovered my favorite Chinese place closed early. Got the wonton soup, vegetable dumplings, meat dumplings, moo goo gai pan, and Egg rolls. The wonton soup had the meat dumplings in them. I preferred the vegetable dumplings. I really liked the egg rolls. The moo goo gai pan was also delicious. It came with plenty of rice. They adhered to Covid protocol.

    Delivery never arrived due to a 'glitch' in their system.

    This was our go-to Chinese place until the day the food never arrived. We called repeatedly and nobody answered the phone. Finally we drove over to see what was going on - they told us there was an issue with their online ordering system & our order was lost. Although we'd waited 2 1/2 hours, there was no apology & no offer to make the food. They complained they were 'slammed' and at 730 pm our order would need to be cancelled. I doubt we'll give them another chance. Mistakes happen but they were completely unwilling to make this right, completely ruining our Christmastime for the Jews

    Friendly staff, and good food. I've also noticed that they don't use a lot of oil like most Chinese places.

    My family and I met some friends at Yu Noodles for an early lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The…read morestore had just opened so we were seated immediately upon arrival. There is plenty of seating that is spacious and well setup, tables are not squished together where you feel as though you have no space to eat. The restaurant is located in a shopping center with many other retailers, so parking is a non issue. I always appreciate good food that is easily accessible without struggling to find parking while out and about with two young kids. We ordered various items from the menu: - Chicken Leg Noodle Soup - My kids loved this. The soup is flavorful and portions are large so perfect to split among two kids. - Pork Soup Dumplings - Solid option, soup broth inside the dumplings was delicious. - Scallion Pancakes - Deliciously fried to perfection. It comes cut into slices, making it easily shareable for the table. - Cucumber with Garlic - Simple dish, but the garlic sauce really makes it memorable. The staff here were great, they were extra mindful of dish placement near my young kids which I really appreciated. All items came out quickly and just as requested. I have visited other locations throughout the DMV and this location was consistent with what I experienced at other locations... friendly staff and delicious food all at a reasonable price. I would definitely come back again if I was in the area :)

For a self-proclaimed Chinese food snob, that kind of consistency across locations isn't just appreciated -- it's rare. This is the place I bring family and friends visiting from out of town when I need to guarantee both quality and a good time. No hesitation, no asterisks. That's a short list. The menu hits two lanes perfectly: bold, soul-warming noodle soups and dry noodles loaded with zesty mix-ins that slap just as hard. The flounder with sour pickled cabbage noodle soup is the move if you want something that's simultaneously bright, funky, and deeply comforting. The spicy beef brisket in golden soup is pure richness -- the kind of broth you'd drink straight if no one was watching. On the dry noodle side, the Chongqing dry noodles bring the heat and the complexity you want from that style. Don't sleep on the small eats. The scallion pancakes and soup dumplings are legitimately all-star -- not afterthoughts, not filler. One pro tip: pay attention to the rotating specials once you've locked in your favorites. And you will have favorites. Probably after visit one. Casual setting, family-friendly vibe, top-tier food. Yu Noodle earns a permanent spot on the short list.

The beef ribs were really difficult to eat and the meat was not tender at all, it was much more tough and stringy than I expected. The steamed beef rice noodles also had no flavor, definitely would not recommend this dish or the beef ribs. The space was nice, there were a lot of larger tables as well as smaller tables for parties of 2 to 4. It wasn't too crowded when we went, a few larger groups and some young families. As other reviewers have noted, the service was sorely lacking. I noticed some of the servers were pleasant, but the lady who was serving us was pretty unfriendly and inattentive. She did not check on us even once to see if we needed more water. She just seemed annoyed and like she couldn't be bothered to do her job. There was another lady that did check on us near the end of our meal and she was very friendly, asked us if we needed any boxes, and offered to refill our water glasses for us. I guess your experience just depends on who you happen to get, but in my opinion, if you're that rude to customers, maybe you shouldn't be working in customer service. They do validate for parking in the lot and there's a garage that is for you for the first two hours. Overall, the prices at this restaurant are higher than is typical for dim sum. The space is nice, but for these prizes, I would expect a higher quality of food and definitely a higher quality in terms of service. I don't think that I'll be back to eat here.

I used Toast to place my order and simply went in to pick it up and it was ready on time for my arrival. I re-heated what I got in the microwave oven and that didn't take long and it tasted great. I got their cumin beef and their long pepper chicken. Both had the correct, and diverse flavors I enjoy from "non-American-style" Chinese joints. The heat level was also perfect; nice & spicy!!

This place has a robust take-out business (DoorDash drivers running in and out). It's great for foodies, but also a noisy place (not ideal for a first date). Free parking is easy in a strip mall lot in downtown Vienna between the CVS and Giant. On the plus side, it has authentic Szechuan-style dishes, including dried cauliflower (savory blend of flavors with a hint of peppercorn), the baby bok choy with tofu skins (to enjoy and refresh the palate), Lazi Chicken (fried chicken bits with peppercorn), and stir-fry green beans. My sons devoured the Lazi Chicken dish and wished that it had more chicken chunks. Small bowls of white rice are included. They also have American-style Chinese food (e.g., kung-pao chicken) but we only ordered a small number of Szechuan-style dishes. On the minus side, it's a tiny space with a limited number of tables (most accommodate up to 4 people). Noise level is high, but maybe that was because it was Saturday night. Overall, we'll continue to order takeout from this place! But we may visit again during off-peak hours.

We've passed…read moreHunan Cafe many times, but when we suddenly noticed a Halal sign, we decided to give it a try--and we absolutely do not regret it. This place is a hidden gem. It's small but clean, with friendly service and excellent food quality. Prices are what you'd expect for the area, but a big plus is that there's easy parking. Most importantly, the food tasted genuinely authentic. The vegetables and meat had that perfect crunch--fresh, well-cooked, and flavorful without being heavy or greasy. Everything was so tender it barely needed chewing. We ordered the crispy beef, Singapore rice (I think!), and a few other dishes, and everything was spot on. Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for authentic halal Chinese food. We'll definitely be back.

I tried something new, their "Thai" D Drunken noodle with Hala Beef. I mean it tasted fine. But it was actually Chow-fun with some jalapenos & basil thrown in with some bell peppers for color. The beef was tender and good. BUT where's the spicy, sweet, salty, sour & thai basil flavor? This had none of that. No fish sauce. No palm sugar. No thai chili peppers. No Thai basil. It was basically stir -fried wide noodles with some veg. It wasn't even spicy. $16.50!!! Please stick to just Chinese/Chinese-American food and leave the Thai food to the Thai people. Fried rice and crab rangoon were good.
