We came here for an early lunch, and we ordered: +Crab Rangoon - triangular-shaped, generously filled with the cream cheese/crab mixture; could have been a bit more crispy, as it was slightly chewy; the sweet & sour dipping sauce was a great complement +Chow Fun - we opted for the beef as a protein; the noodles were extremely wide, which was great; you can kick it up with chili oil and soy sauce; beef were plentiful +Mongolian Beef - lots of onions and scallions, this had a good flavor; you can add more of a saltiness to it with soy sauce This is definitely a family-run and -operated eatery, as the youngest son was taking orders and manning the register; all orders were made-to-order, so what you will be receiving will be super fresh! The owners were very kind, friendly, and attentive! There were a couple of tables inside, so we chose to dine in. Everything tasted fresh, not at all salty, and prepared with care and love. I'd love to try out their lunch specials and other chef specialty entrees on the next visit.

This is a family-run restaurant and it was great to see that they had their very young son manning the counter and the cash register in a totally professional way. The menu is straight-forward with the usual and expected dishes. One dish I did not expect to see, but did, were hush puppies! Everything we ordered for takeout was excellent. Portions are generous and inexpensive. Note: there are two tables in the restaurant if you prefer to dine in. We ordered egg drop soup, crispy pork wontons, Mongolian Chicken and Mongolian Beef. The egg drop soup was better than your typical egg drop soup, with a flavorful broth and silky but still hearty texture. The wontons were packed with pork and came with a tasty bright red dipping sauce that complimented the wontons nicely. The Mongolian Beef and Mongolian Chicken are the same dish, with the only difference being the meat. These dishes were very well prepared with just the right amount of onion, scallion and sauce. The beef had a delicious slightly smoky flavor and was cut into nicely shaped pieces. The Mongolian dishes automatically come with white rice. Speaking of the rice, it had a great texture and just the right amount of moisture. Take out orders may take up to a half hour for them to be prepared, but it is well worth the wait. We will be back.

The samosa chaat comes with the tamarind and mint dressings already mixed in. Our server, Sam, was attentive and super kind!

STEAMED CHICKEN MOMO (6) - 13 The chicken momos sat on top of a creamy chili garlic sauce that was a bit spicy. The momos were juicy and the filling was soft and flavorful. Good appetizer to share between the three of us. BUTTER CHICKEN - 19 Creamy and rich, tasted a bit sweeter than I was used to, almost like a chicken tikka masala. Pretty standard, but got the job done. Plenty of chicken in our curry. SAAG PANEER - 19 Vibrant green with the perfect loose, creamy texture that wasn't too chunky. Good amount of paneer in our portion. The spinach actually tasted like spinach, which I find rare at other restaurants that also serve saag/palak paneer. Definitely one of the better ones I've had! GARLIC NAAN - 4 Pretty typical, but good nonetheless. It was a bit greasy than I would have liked, but went well with the curries when we wanted to switch between bites of the basmati rice. Portions were pretty big and generous. Everything we ordered hit and all above average. The three of us were quite full after sharing an app + naan + two entrees. Stop by if you're in the area!

I only saw food items that looked really good. It wasn't until I saw the bubble pancake did I realize. So of course we ordered the bubble and bento to begin. Loved the variety in the bento box and wished that it came with at least two of the soup dumplings, siu mai, and har gow. You just can't share a soup dumpling! We ordered the chow fun and salt and pepper shrimp. This was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. The chow fun will always be my favorite childhood noodle dish. The shrimp was nice and crispy. And for any non-alcoholic drinkers out there, they have a lychee drink which was very refreshing. My only complaint is that with a party of seven, we were told that there was a $20 deposit per person for a reservation. Our reservation was for the non-busy hour of 4:30 p.m. I can understand large parties of say 20 or more in which you will be taking up a good portion of the restaurant but this policy is a first for me. Parking is available in the paid garage on the same block.

In these trying times, I wanted to give a shout out to Hunan Kitchen for helping me give some variety to my diet (I'm single and a terrible cook so my at-home options are limited). I found this place when we had an issue with our regular go-to Chinese food delivery place (they who shalt not be named). I was bummed because their food was pretty solid, but the service issue we had was inexcusable. We found Hunan Kitchen online and saw they had some decent reviews (thank you Yelp!), so we decided to try them out. What a significant step up from that Chinese-restaurant-who-shalt-not-be-named! Portion size is excellent and they do not go super vegetable heavy on their mixed dishes. Delivery times have been great since we started ordering from there and I have yet to eat something from their menu that I have not enjoyed. Their General Tsao's Chicken is fantastic and I am also a big fan of their Crab Rangoon. Give it a shot - you won't be disappointed. read more

A few days ago, my husband and I went grocery shopping, and by lunchtime, we decided to grab a quick bite at a small restaurant hunankitchen nearby. We kept it simple and ordered two dishes--one chicken vegetable and one beef vegetable --served with fried rice and a spring roll. The service was impressively quick, and the food was fresh and delicious. The portions were very generous--one plate was more than enough for one person, leaving us completely satisfied. What stood out was how reasonably priced everything was, making it a great value for money. It was the perfect spot for a quick, hearty, and affordable lunch. Definitely a hidden gem worth revisiting! read more

I'm not sure if some of their competitors are losing their minds on too much MSG, as some of them charge almost double for what PEKING EXPRESS does. They also have their own website and you can create an account so that this small business can retain their profits and keep us (as their customer's), costs down. Uber Eats needs to stop gauging everyone - but that's a different topic ;) Enjoy tasty goodness here for sure!
