More like MSG Garden. I always get a headache if I consume MSG. I even got a headache eating the leftovers. The overpriced sesame beef had a funky aftertaste and it was tough. I guess they don't tenderize and marinate their meat with baking soda. read more

Decided to take the family here as we haven't been here for many years. Thought it'd be nice to show the little one a place in Oxnard that's been around for a long time. Hunan Garden is still the same and brings back childhood memories. Greeted upon entrance, we decided to eat inside the restaurant. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Thank you. Food was delicious. Flavorful and well portioned. We all liked the egg flower soup as well as the wonton soup. We ordered fried rice, Mongolian beef, and 3 ingredients as our entrees. Owner took time to tell the lil one about the koi fish in the fish tank. Please do not try to feed them! Would recommend and return. read more

This place has been around forever and I've tried just about everything on the menu. The food here is tailored to a western palate and leans on the salty side. The lunch specials are generous and a good deal. But the only thing I love here is the combo egg fu young (without the sauce) - it is the best egg fu young I've had and no other one comes close. Sometimes I'll get the pineapple shrimp too, but it's usually just the egg fu young. It is perfectly cooked every single time! 5 stars just for this dish! Service is always friendly, ample parking in a large lot, located right next to McDonald's. read more

I loved this place when it was under the prior management. My husband and I went for dinner and the owner took the order wrong( beef instead o vegetable) chow mein then threw a fit because I sent the dish back. She still charged me for the more expensive dish but I didn't want to cause a scene. When we entered she was arguing with other customers should of been a sign. The food wasn't as good as it was before. My husband and I were surprised that the restaurant was so dead now we understand why. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

I just had a wonderful experience at Hunan Garden in Oxnard. Came in for Take-out, right at closing, on a Cold, windy and rainy night. Very welcoming atmosphere. They were kind enough to take my order, even though the kitchen is about to close for the evening. Ordered the Bbq Pork Fried Rice. In the short time I was waiting, at least 3 customers came in for pickup orders, to me this is typically a good indicator that the food is on point . Here's the best part: when the Manager brought out my takeout order to hand me, I could clearly see a container of Egg Drop Soup in the bag along with my order. Before i could say anything, the kind lady told me that she included it for me free of charge so that I will be Warm on a rainy night. I was very much moved by this Act of Kindness so much so, that i wanted to share how sincerely happy it made me. The bbq pork fried rice was very ,very good, flavorful, fresh and satisfying. Just what i was hoping for, and more. The Egg Drop Soup did indeed warm me up, was also Delicious, and TRULY made my night SPECIAL and memorable. Thank you so much!!! read more

Hunan Garden was a unique experience and glad I finally got to try this place after so many years of driving by it and them catching my eye. My overall review of this spot would be a 3.5 but rounding up as I do. Breakdown of score: 5 stars for service / staff 3 stars for food / taste 4 stars pricing 4 stars ambiance My favorite thing about this restaurant is the service. The staff here are so incredibly nice. Sometimes you want to give a restaurant 5 stars because you adore the staff but I know you can't give that many based on service alone. However I am happy to give them credit where due. Michelle is the owner / running the business for her family. Michelle has so much experience in the restaurant business and it shows. It's a total testament to her and her commitment that this restaurant has been open for decades now. She's super passionate and proud of this business, it definitely inspired me and made me want to come back to support this business. Her staff who bus and service the tables were so nice. A young girl helped us, sorry I didn't catch her name, but she was on top of things and friendly throughout our dining experience. I like the decor of this restaurant. The outside is super cool and palatial looking. Very old school and catches your eye when driving down the boulevard. The interior was clean and welcoming. My friend and I liked the paint colors on the walls and the booths were comfortable. Menu here is pretty big. I was impressed. The prices seemed pretty good as they have weekday lunch specials and for dinner there were some good family style items and combinations. For two of us for dinner it came to about $55. We got soup, appetizers, two entrees, and a cup of fried rice each. The food had its ups and downs, hard to put my finger on it but maybe their food isn't sauced or seasoned to my usual tastebuds when it comes to the flavors of Chinese food that I like? I eat Chinese food a lot and while the ingredient were super fresh here, some of the dishes lacked depth and really profound flavors. There wasn't really a dish that was a home run for me, good dishes definitely but just not 100% what I would crave. My favorite bite honestly was their simple egg flower soup. For entrees we ordered the Mongolian beef and Szechuan pork. I thought the green onions in the beef dish were good and there was ample sauce which I normally like, the flavors however were very subdued. The fried rice also wasn't good to be to be honest. The appetizers were no frills but good. Definitely would need to give some other dishes a try in the future. Overall coming here with a friend was a good experience as customer service was great and the atmosphere was inviting and unique. However, the food is pretty middle of the road and I didn't find my perfect dish here on the first trip. Would consider coming back for a lunch special in the future as this is a thriving old school family business in Oxnard so it's nice to support them. read more

Overall 3.5 *^^^ Whhooooass !! I have lived in Oxnard a lot of my life and have never been to this establishment! The building itself is very iconic and eye catching on the Blvd! The lions on the side and the big red door ... bam! A statement . We ordered the Szechuan chicken and Mongolian beef Dinner option. It came with egg drop soup , app and rice for 25 each . Portions are large. Michelle was kind and friendly! Love her personality.. I didn't love the flavors but my palette is very Americanized. I really don't know authentic flavors! I did see a lot of people come in and out , so I know it's a local favorite. I know the flavors I love .. though my palette is very un trained on Chinese food but I can say ... I didn't want to absolutely devour the food. I, however, appreciate great service , a clean place and an overall good experience:) read more

Food was great! Service was excellent. Ambience took me to the orient. Definitely recommend this place.

Avoid this place at all cost! The owner is very rude & very disrespectful to seniors & questions if you can afford her food prices when ordering. We have been there a few times in hopes for a better experience but unfortunately she just has a horrible attitude. The food & portions are not worth the price. This place use to be amazing before the previous owner sold it. Super unfortunate & sad to see a small business going under by an owner who treats her guests so rude. read more

I am visiting my mother and her friend from Florida. We've enjoyed Hunan Garden in the past and have received great food and service. However, this evening we visited the restaurant and received the worst service I've ever had in my adult life. The waitress deliberately ignored us and our order was not correct. When we brought this to the attention of the owner, she proceeded to argue and yell at us in front of the entire restaurant and other patrons. It was embarrassing to say the least, not to mention rude and unprofessional. Needless to say, when I visit Oxnard again, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I do not recommend Hunan Garden to anyone. read more

We had a wonderful evening dining here. The dumplings, vegetable egg rolls, hot sour soup and pork Szechuan were delicious. The owner Michelle is lovely. Very personable and friendly. She introduced herself and made us feel at home. Excellent customer service. read more

Came by for lunch with co workers after one of them raving about how good the food was here and I am happy that we came! My work office is about a 5 min drive so this is super convenient location for me to have lunch. Came by around 12:30 pm and was seated right away. The woman who was serving us was extremely helpful and kind. The menu had a great variety and they had a lunch special menu which has great deals. After looking at their lunch menu I decided to go with the house chow mein. Portions are good! Flavor is very good and the quality and taste was very authentic. Would rate my dish a 8 out of 10. Would defenitly come back and get it again. Very satisfied with my lunch. Overall solid Chinese spot. If your looking for some good Chinese food I would definitely give them a try. Support this local Oxnard Buisness, you will not regret it. read more

Hunan Garden Chinese Restaurant - House Chow Mein Lunch - Chinese Near Me - Oxnard, California

I been a long time customer, from this place, Not anymore!! Terrible experience with the new owner, her attitude, bad bad service!! I would not recommend anyone there !! read more

The service was horrible. We had family come in from out of town and the lady at the front desk was rude. She said we should've called before hand to reserve a big table. We said we didn't mind waiting for something to open up since we've been there before and owner knows my daughters since they were little. My daughters (2) were by the fish tank and she was rude telling them to move o hr of the way after the fact that we were already telling them to sit down. Overall not friendly for big groups and this is not the first time I see her being rude. read more

This is a favorite spot for our family when we're craving Chinese food. The salt and pepper pork is beyond (ask for extra jalapeños, if you like it spicy. My dad loves the pineapple shrimp, and my daughter loves the sweet and sour chicken (sauce on the side. The staff is great, and the owner is so sweet and kind. Please support her! This place is great! read more

I ordered two items. Almond Chicken. The photo online shows, and the words say," broccoli, carrots, and fried rice". The dish had none of that but it had a lot of water chestnuts, which I don't even like. I called, but, they blamed DoorDash, raised their voice, and became argumentative. No apology, no responsibility, no offer of compensation. They said, Call DoorDash. Item #2 Shrimp in Lobster sauce. They must have used flour to thicken a sauce that had thin strands of chicken in it. Pretty awful, nothing to do with lobster. It did have overcooked shrimp. Actually, it was disgusting, and I threw it away. They shouldn't argue with a customer whose dinner was ruined. What a hassle. I will not order from them again. It was the first and last time. Avoid this place. Poor ingredients and lousy customer service. read more

This is use to be my favorite place to go. Been going for years. Use to deer on door dash every week too. The last time I went last year the food was not good at all. I decided to give it another chance. I ordered sweet and sour pork and it was disgusting. The balls were soggy (which was the problem last time too) but the worst of it was it had zero flavor. Like they cooked the whole thing with no salt or season what so ever. It was like if you boiled pork and ate it straight from the pot. Th rice had zero season or salt of any kind as well and the chow mien. My mom got chicken cashew and same. She didnt like her. We all left with 90% of our food untouched. Sad but I wont he returning. read more

It's a hit and miss here. The food changes in flavor, not sure why but the food is not the same. The woman that answers the phone is very rude and demanding. What a B....! I use to order from here all the time but not anymore. Sad to say but it's true. read more

Been to this one in Camarillo many times. But now I live in Oxnard this is my new spot. So good and so fresh must come try

I really enjoy going here for my Chinese food love the food and especially the lunch special. The service is excellent.

The food was delicious and the service was above and beyond. The potions are generous. We had the House Special Fried rice ( full of meat and shrimp), pan-fried dumplings, and Mu-shoo chicken. The server packed up the leftovers really nicely, at the table, So much nicer than throwing you a box, extra points for this. Private parking lot and I can see my car clearly while eating, also a huge plus. They serve all day with no break between lunch and dinner, which I love (because we tend to eat a late lunch and a light dinner) They do a consistent take out business and appeared to be regular customers. Typical dated expected Chinese decor. It looks familiar because there is at least one like this in every town. Unfortunately some kind of little gnats infringed on our otherwise lovely meal. I have only been here once, so maybe it was a fluke. This really checked all the boxes for me ( except for the bugs) it's a tough choice, if I take it to go, I don't get the service. read more

My favorite authentic Chinese restaurant. I've been coming here since I was a little girl. The owners have always been the sweetest. I wish I knew their names. When my husband, our kids or myself start getting sick, we order the War Wonton Soup. It is MASSIVE! Such a bang for your buck! It can feed us all, it is delicious and OOOOOOH SOOOO GOOD FOR YOU!! Packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and TONS of flavor!! When we start to feel like we might be coming down with something, this soup is like: ALL HANDS ON DECK. I can't say it "cures us" but it sure does help us feel better SO much faster than when we let stuff run through its course. PS: I am a SUCKER for egg drop soup, and the owner once said "it tastes so much better with fried won tons" and boy did it! I order it like that ALL the time now. Four different generations of my family have gone here. My aunt Rachel is the one who introduced my grandparents and I to this place. And I'm pleased to pass on the tradition of excellent Chinese cuisine to my children. This place will always be special to me, it's where we last dined as a family together before my daughter left for the military. it was my favorite go to during the COVID shut downs, it's where we go when we are feeling under the weather, and it is where we go for an excellent quality meal, without breaking the bank. Thank you for your commitment to our community, and not only sharing your food, but your culture with Oxnard read more

Wow such terrible service. Been really holding out on this review for a while, but this last time there I have to put them on blast. We've been more than a few times. Once the waitress got on us cause my son 3 years old or so (now 5) was playing with a small toy car on the table and they said "stop dat, it scratch" but there was no scratches. It's a hot wheel toy, come on. They gave such bad service after that, so we didn't tip as well due to such bad service. Food is also just decent. Rubbery and bland. Another time (recently) we had sun blaring in the face, so we moved tables but they said no cause it's for more people, but no one was there. They said you go now we no serve you. Wow, ok. We've got better places to spend our money. We go as a family too, but never again. Don't waste your money there for rude service and mediocre at best food. Maybe not even real food read more

I have been a customer of this restaurant for many years. Lately, the food has not been as good as in the past. Today, I took my daughter visiting from Florida there for dinner. We ordered 3 dishes, one with 3 meats (chicken, beef & shrimp). I asked the waitress to please make the chicken all white meat. When the dish arrived, no beef, no shrimp; just chicken. I did NOT ask that the other meats be eliminated in favor of all chicken. Instead of apologizing and quietly fixing the problem, one of the owners, Michelle, blamed me for the mistake and yelled at me in the presence of other diners before reluctantly replacing the dish prepared correctly. Thereafter, through the entire meal, the waitress ignored our table while being overly-attentive to the tables around us. We finally just got up, paid and left. I have never been treated so poorly by a local business. I will NEVER go there again after being embarrassed in front of my visiting daughter, who was left with a VERY poor impression of Oxnard because of this. I STRONGLY recommend eating at the Mandarin House restaurant on Channel Islands Blvd. instead where the food is better and the service far more cordial and welcoming. read more

I didn't really like the food at all. I was expecting much more but I've had better. There isn't much variety on the menu, it's also very overpriced. They have a weird rule with "sharing" drinks. If the customer is paying for a drink with their own money, they are allowed to do whatever they please. That just threw me off. They said no booths are available, there was many empty, ready to be seated. When paying, the older lady "accidentally" charged us 50$ more than what we owed for the food. Good thing I caught it but that's unacceptable. Overall it was a sketchy/uncomfortable experience and will not return, ever. Do not recommended at all. read more

We have been ordering take out from Hunan for 25+ years. The food is always good! I understand prices have gone up but $13 for a box of fried rice is nuts!! They now charge for a side of chili sauce (.50) which used to be free! We had an order of $65 and they would not throw in 1 sauce! I miss the old owners (Mandy) who appreciated their loyal customers!! Times are tough for everyone and they should be glad to still have customers!! read more

Food was ok...nothing particularly that stood up..what did stood up were loud bangings on the wall...so loud and bad I walked out with a headache...if you want to relax while you eat don't come here....by the way the loud banging came from the banging ofvtheir kitchen door by their own waitresses....terrible!! read more

Fox and service are good the dumplings were huge! But If I ever go back I'm only paying in cash they randomly charged me $40 months after I went there someone there is definitely doing some kind of fraud be careful because today my fiance also got charged $40 (we split the check when we went) read more

This place was great! Honestly the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. Had the kung pao shrimp. There were so many shrimp it was hard to finish. It was yummy! The service was outstanding. I'm in Oxnard once a month. This place will certainly be my go to for lunch. Delish! read more
