When I lived in this area 30+ years ago we always came here and I loved the beef noodle soup. After we Ieft NJ I always remembered this place. My last time visit was in 2013 and it was as good as before. This time in 2026 we came again but found out that it became a to-go/uber-eat kind of place. No light no AC and tables/chairs stacked. Only one guy probably the chef inside the kitchen. I called him out and he said we could sit down if we want. But we finally left with broken memories. Too sad. read more

Food was really bad. I got ginger chicken and it tasted like someone poured pine sol on it. Delivery took over an hour also. This is the worst Chinese I've ever eaten. read more

I have been eating here for the past 15 years. Hands down best pork chop over rice and pork belly over rice. Their beef noodle soup with hand cut noodles are awesome as well. Not fussy, great, delicious food that's so cheap compared to elsewhere. It's so so so good. The portions are great, food is tasty, and has such good Value. During the week we love their 3 dishes + appetizer meal. Great restaurant and recommend! read more

It was our first time trying this place. Got the 3-cup chicken and the beef with peppers. Chicken dish came with a dead roach inside the dish!!! We were so disgusted. We will not coming back. read more

Hunan Noodle House - a piece of food on a plate - Chinese Near Me - Parsippany, New Jersey

I was home sick the other day with my son who was as miserable as I was. Normally, when I feel like this I find myself a good Jewish Deli and get chicken noodle soup or matzoh ball soup, but alas, there is no good Jewish deli close to where I live so I did the next best thing-got me some Taiwanese noodle soup from Hunan Noodle House! I've heard good things about this place, but never got around to trying it out...so at least SOMETHING good came from me being sick. I ordered the shredded chicken noodle soup (with white noodles) and an order of three flavor dumplings (fried). I haven't had noodle soup form a Chinese place in probably 15 years, but after today's lunch I can guarantee it won't be that long before I'm back at Hunan Noodle House. The broth was absolutely perfect-nicely salted and full of flavor-and the ingredients were also done perfectly-nothing overcooked. The noodles themselves, packaged separately, were great and held up nicely in the soup. I added a little hot sauce and the soup was just what my body needed. The three flavor dumplings? Oh yeah, they hit the spot too. Absolutely delicious. Eight nice sized dumplings, lightly fried for $5.50, not a bad deal. As always, the best compliment I can leave in my review is that I will be back. I don't know if Hunan Noodle House will ever become our go-to place-I need to try some of their other dishes, but it is definitely my new noodle soup joint!! read more

Not sure why there are so many so many bad reviews hew. A good amount of them seem to be concerning lo mein or those American-Chinese dishes so I guess avoid the stuff that you could order in 90% of other Chinese places. I had the szechuan noodles with sesame sauce from the appetizer menu. We also got the cut tofu with pork and the three cup chicken from the family specialties back page and someone else got the three flavor taipan noodle special. The dishes overall were fine and I was surprised to see a good three cup chicken in the middle of nowhere. I don't know much about the soups, I do like Taiwanese style soups a lot but I was not exactly in the mood for one. Waitress was nice for a restaurant like this. 4.0 for the three cup chicken and extensive menu. -.5 for the appetizer, I thought the description meant a completely different dish and it wasn't spicy enough. read more

This place used to be really good a several years ago ... i went here several times many years ago 20+ years back, but left the area. I went back here to visit recently and I was very disappointed. The beef noodle soup is quite different. It had much less flavor and much lighter ... it used to be quite strong, peppery, and spicy. The rice noodles also were different than they used to be as well. My assumption is the original owner sold the place? Or maybe a different chef? Or off night? Perhaps the only obvious positive was the person doing the work (i assume the owner and cook) was very friendly. read more

Been searching for a solid Asian cuisine here in Morris County since moving here last year. So, based on recommendations I decided to try this place out. I ordered the Teppen Noodle Special, which was one of the popular dishes here. Very disappointed I must say. The noodles were no way home-made, or even asian style. The dish was basically linguini with semi-cooked veggies in a very bland tomato based watery sauce. read more

Messed up my order and over charged me! Oh what fun. Apparently it costs a shady extra $2.47 to forget the Beef with the Beef and brocolli combo. Yes just brocolli with white rice. Good thing I check my credit card statements because the receipt charged the correct amount. Buncha crooks. Don't go read more

Cheap price for pretty good food. Most dishes are between 5-8 dollars. Didn't find out this place until recently and gave it a try for dinner. We had the fried stinky tofu and scallion pancake for appetizer. Both are very good. I had the beef in tomato sauce over rice. And the beef was very tender and flavorful. My husband had the "Daoxiao noodle" (knife sliced noodle) with beef shank. Very nice flavor and good portion size. The waitress tends to keep suggesting new dishes. read more

See all

I came here once with my friend who's swears by this place. He was in search of the pork chop over rice platter with the soy sauce boiled egg. We dined in and there was only another couple who was eating there. The owner's kids were doing their homework in the back. I got the beef noodle soup and my friend got the pork chop. We shared the oyster omelet. The red sauce came with it. It was very very quiet dining there. We suggested to the waitress to have a radio or something on for background noise. I want to support this place. There are plenty of Chinese take-out but this place offers something different to the palate wheel. read more

Oh how I missed Hunan Noodle House. Well I just started a new gig in Parsippany so I will resume my love relationship with Hunan Noodle House. Tuesday - Went there for lunch and ordered their Pork chop over rice. Fried pork chop served over rice with a whole egg boiled in soy sauce and some chinese vegetables slathered with brown gravy. Ready for this...$4.50! Yes! What! Yes! $4.50! No mistake, no type-o's. Thursday Night - Stopped by to pickup some food for dinner. Ordered the Pork chop over rice, Beef over rice and Fried chicken leg over rice. Yup, you guessed it, $4.50 each. Friday - Some co-workers decide to order some food from Hunan Noodle House for lunch based on my recommendation. They all loved it. So after 13 years, this place is still rockin'. read more

For various reasons, I've been having take out here fairly often recently. For authentic Chinese food, you can't beat this place. When I want Chinese takeout, this is the first and last place I think of. The price is great too. Many of their dishes are good, but the standout is their noodle soups- the Taiwanese-style beef noodles in soup. The regular beef and also their tendon are very well seasoned, and come with a bonus soy sauce hard boiled egg. They also have decent bubble tea. read more

Maybe the in house is different but the delivery is definitely lacking. I don't mind waiting a while since I was informed it would be long, so that wasn't the issue. The fried dumplings were soggy, though still tasted good. Overall everything we ordered was lack luster, but not horrible. The lo mein was very bland and tasted like unseasoned noodles. The really concerning part was I ordered beef lo mein and found multiple shrimp in it. While I like shrimp, that's extremely dangerous for someone with seafood allergies. For that reason I can't ever recommend anyone eating here. Between the bland food and neglectful preparation, I will never be ordering from here again. read more

I am rating this place a 5-star because you can spend $5 to get a filling meal. You pay no more than a take-out restaurant but you get some very unique food that you won't find unless you go to Flushing! I discovered this place back in 1997 when I lived in Parsippany for one year. Since then, I have lived in Florham Park, Edison, Jersey City, Kuala Lumpur, and now back to Jersey City again. If given the chance, I always stop by and eat here; if I cannot dine-in, I take home for another meal. Why? Because of their specialty items that get burried in the large menu. I suspect if this restaurant rebrands itself and only focus on the special dishes it will make a killing and can double the price, but let's keep that a secret. Whoever translated/designed their menu should be shot, because it's really marketing at its worst. Take for example, #74 and #77 for Pork Chop or Chicken Leg Over Rice: not exactly the best marketing words. Did you know that you get either a big pork chop or full quarter chicken leg on rice that's spread with minced meat sauce and sides of steamed napa and sour cabages, and then topped with a braised egg? Frankly these two dishes ($4.95 ea) tastes better than some of the ones I had in Taiwan! #87 and #88: cut noodle. Anyone who doesn't know what it is will not even stop and ask. It's a whole dough that gets sliced by a knife and not ran through a pasta machine (or most just use pre-made noodles). There is a difference! And did you know that you can substitute other soup noodles with cut noodle? Some of the appetizers are very unique too: #34, #37, #43, #46, etc. You may need to be a bit brave to try but they won't dissapoint. My office now moved to Parsippany and I imagine many more lunches and take-home dinners to come. Please visit this place and keep it afloat. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant I think for more than 15 years and the food is still as good as it was when I first went! This place is not your typical Chinese take-out restaurant, if you look beyond the American Chinese food you'll find that their authentic Chinese food is delicious! As a Chinese American a lot of the foods I order I believe are very authentic. I always get the pork chop over rice and stinky tofu and those items are just like the way I get them in Taiwan! I also really love their beef noodle soup or beef tendon noodle soup; very savory and satisfying, especially on a cold day. read more

So, we tried this again. BIG MISTAKE. Friday at 630 not a single customer. Cook Comes out to take order. He doesn't speak English. Beef with cut noodle soup passable but missing ingredients. Pan Fried dumplings overcooked indelible. Pan fried noodles. No where near amount of noodles there used to be. Other ingredients generous but lacking any taste. read more

I came here all excited hearing about the pork chop over rice. I loved May Wah (now closed in NYC) and Wah Mei and was excited that something like that existed so close to home. The pork chop over rice was ok - nothing compared to NYC but better than nothing. We ordered fried dumplings as an appetizer and it tasted like the frozen ones you get at the grocery with thick skin and all. The hubs ordered a Beef Stew Noodle Soup and it was only ok. I think the better Chinese restaurants in the area are at Hunan Cottage or at Noodle Chu. read more

Over an hour delivery time with an empty restaurant (finally went to pick it up). Wonton soup noodles were hard and smelled awful. Even the pork fried rice tasted off. Wouldn't recommend the General Tsos. The method of frying the noodles and the egg rolls left them very greasy and not smooth. read more

Used to be one of my favorites as a kid but recently, there seems to be less and less business. The place is quiet since there's usually no more than two tables there at once. I always get the fried chicken over rice with that special, awesome sauce that they have. It's only $4.50 so it's more than a bargain! They do try to get you to order other things. Regardless, the bill has always come out to approximately $12 for two people and it leaves you satisfied. In response to Shawn S.'s review: I think you just need to know how to order and steer away from the generic dishes. I do, however, agree that those crunchies could be pretty stale sometimes. Disappointing since that was my favorite thing about this place in the past. read more

Not very good Taiwanese food. I was in the mood for noodle soup so I came here to get the pork and pickled vegetable soup. The soup was quite murkey looking and tasted a little fishy. I added a bit of hot chili oil to dress it up a bit, so it made it edible. This soup is a pretty easy soup to make. Too bad they couldn't make a nice broth as a base. I definitely will not be returning. read more

My family and I used to eat at hunan noodle a lot because it was next to an Indian food grocery store and a backery shopped called QQ was near it as well. However, over time we realized that the food had too much MSG. I enjoyed the tomato beef over rice to a certain extent, but other than that, I don't think anything else on the menu qualifies for a "must-try" for this restaurant. Although I believe that you should try out this food if you live around this area, definitely don't expect too much. read more

Freshness is an issue. Went yesterday with my daughter. First off, it was 85 degrees and they had no AC and the door propped open. I went in there a decided to give it a change. My review HORRIBLE. The only thing decent was the glass of water. When we sat down, we got the bowl of wontons that tasted like it was made 7 days before. They were really hard and dry. Probably because they had been sitting out all day in a 90 degree restaurant. I ordered the chicken lo mein for my daughter, the general tso for me, and an order of shrimp dumplings for us to share. The wrapping on the dumplings was way too thick, it was like eating a munchkin with a tiny little shrimp in it. The chicken lo mein had very little scraggly looking chicken in it, some of it was way to dark and gristly-looked like beef and they really should have called it vegetable lo mein. My daughter LOVES this dish and after two bites, she said it was "yucky". My general TSO, which was the worst I have ever had, was obviously re-fried chicken because the coating was really tough- the sauce had no flavor,and the broccoli was almost raw. I took a few bites and after sitting in that hot place for about 30 minutes trying to get my daughter to eat more I gave up. GROSS. She really liked the sprite though. My bill was $26. I would have been better served if I had gone to the little chinese place with the bullet proof glass- at least the food taste fresh. read more

The food is terrible. Soup tastes like dirty cabbage. Dumplings are not cooked well and the fillings are mostly cabbage. Not worth the money. I can't fathom how people are giving this place 5 stars. read more

We wanted to try something different so we opted for noodles. We order the Teppen Noodle Special and an 8 piece wonton. I am a vegetarian but he is not, we were glad to see the chicken pieces were large enough to remove. The noodles were flavorful, but they were submerged in a sauce. I know that is probably how they are prepared, but that wasn't clear on the menu. Although we were a bit surprised by the preparation the flavor was okay. By they way - these noodles are best eaten fresh. Left over will be a soggy hot noodle mess. read more

Authentic Taiwanese food in NJ! Better than the one in Morristown but definitely can't compete with Flushing. Stinky tofu - legit and will come back for this Tomato beef over rice - I'll get this again - more on the salty side and not as tomatoey as one I had before in Taiwan Oyster Noodle soup - a disappointment, should have gotten the standard Taiwanese beef noodle I think try can use a little bit more salt but maybe they want healthy customers. We were the only table there - but their phone was ringing nonstop from take out and delivery order. Super slow service since there was only one lady manning the front of the house and also taking delivery/take out phone orders at the same time. read more

My first visit to Hunan Noodle House was over 25 years ago, where I discovered their specialities, beef noodle soup and chicken leg over rice. I loved those dishes, but moved from the area. Recently, I was in the area and decided to drop by. The negative reviews scared me and I feared that the restaurant owners moved on. It is the same owner from 20 years ago, and the chicken leg over rice (with egg) is as delicious as I remember. Deep fried and crispy - yum! Beef noodle soup - love it! It's not a fancy restaurant, maybe even a hole in the wall. But if you are looking for good authentic chicken leg over rice and beef noodle soup, definitely stop by the Hunan Noodle House. Next time I'll try the pork chop over rice and scallion pancakes. read more

I come here for their Taiwanese style menu items. They have dishes you just don't see everywhere else. My takeout has always been great and I like the fact that it doesn't come across as the usual Chinese food you see in most places. This reminds me more of the type of food I usually get in Chinatown in NYC. In short, I liked this place. It had a family vibe to it and the dishes looked unique. I'll definitely go here for take-out again. If I have the chance, I'll eat in the restuarant too. read more

This place was my childhood favorite restaurant. I loved the fried chicken over rice and the sauce was mind-blowingly delicious. Later on under new management there were corners cut, they would make the sauce with so much cornstarch that it would mostly be gross chunks of the corn sauce goop. sorry, the customer can tell when you add 100 times more cornstarch than usual. we thought maybe it was an off day but we gave them over 10 chances and each time it would be the same horrible quality. i really really loved that dish so much and would beg my parents to bring me there every weekend. It was so hard for me to let go of this dish cause it was such an huge part of my childhood. read more

I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about. This place is terrible... almost offensively so. The chopped noodles fall apart in your mouth as if they were pre-frozen. The various vegetables taste like they've been in the fridge too long, and the tastes of other foods have transferred over. I've been here four times, each time hoping that the next time would be better, desperately wanting to give this place a chance. I've finally had enough. I heard this place used to be great, but it came under new ownership and now nobody eats here anymore. Small wonder why. Please, please improve and I'll consider coming back. read more

People who aren't putting 4 stars have no idea what to order here. It's not your ordinary take out Chinese (if you're ordering general tsos best go somewhere else). Order beef noodle soup and you guys will be amazed at how good it is !! read more

I ordered shrimp lo mein and schezuan chicken. Overpriced and really disgusting. The shrimp were not fresh and the food was pretty tasteless. Go elsewhere. read more

This place was a great place to go to about a few years back. I recently went in the past 6 months, and it's quality has really gone down the drain. I ordered a pork chop noodle soup, and the pork chop was horrible! I think they re-fried a leftover pork chop because it was like a piece of leather. The service is slow, and we were the only dine in customers. I wouldn't be surprised if this place goes out of business in the next year or two. I would never go back to this place ever again. There are a few other places that serve the same type food, but at a much higher quality. read more

I normally get noodles from Shan Shan down the road but wanted to try this place as there was some high reviews. Ordered takeout on a Thursday night. After some confusion of the person on the phone who didn't remember what was in some dishes (why didn't they have a menu in front of them as most places have 100s just lying around). I arrived 15 mins later (10 mins was the time) and came into an empty place (strike 1) at 7 pm on a Thursday night; the lady there was sitting alone on a call and I had to wait almost 5 mins before she checked on me (strike 2); finally paid and food came out but was missing noodles of all things (noodle place - go figure); and finally ate what I was craving a pork and pickled cabbage soup which was simply bland boiled pork in onion broth) (strike 3). Also ordered Teppen noodles and again bland and tasteless. I have no idea why someone would give this place 3 or more stars. I sincerely hope the owners read this and make some general changes and check out the competition as I want more options for good food. read more

This is a place I have been going for like 5 years already. The place pros are: -Service - Good enough. There was a time I asked the server for her opinion on a dish and she was honest in saying that it was not fresh that day, and recommended another one. -Prices - Nice noodle soup The best dishes there I can say are: Noodle soups - I normally ask for the Spicy Beef Tendon one Stinky tofu - This appetizer's quality has been consistent. It is good enough. Crispy pig intestines - It is normally pretty good. Now to the bad things: -This place is more popular as take out than dine-in. For some reason the place has been deserted the last times I have been there. -Consistency is an issue. Maybe because of slow days, there are some dishes that can be decent one day, and a disaster the other. -They charge for a bow of white rice... Maybe it is just me, but I hate when you order appetizers and entrees, and they still charge for a bow of rice. Overall, a good place for a quick lunch or dinner. Stick with the noddle soups and you should be fine. read more

For business reasons i've bern in their kitchen numerous times. Im not one that goes on the stereotypes of chinese kitchens being dirty because its not true at all, but however this is the grossest kitchen ever. Its so dirty--food all over--sinks full of dirty water with 4 different kinds of food soaking in it. Full garbage cans probably weeks worth of trash, maggotts all over. Clothes from chefs on the floor, people smoking n cooking at the same time. Place is shott, i have no idea how they have not been closed down. I wouldnt exagerrate im in this business and i think the people if paying to eat deserve good product. But this is an accident waiting to happen. I strongly suggest not to eat here. And if u have eaten here im sorry to tell u that if u saw the kitchen u would probably faint. read more

we ordered shao long bao - we got bao-zi instead. hahaha. other than that the beef noodle soup is great! the shrimp stir-fry is great too. read more

Chicken & Broccoli, chicken was undercooked and chewy, and the Sweet and Sour Chicken tasted like it was made last week and heated up. Edamame was good tho, lol. Disappointed won't order here again. read more

Dont know any of the people who wrote good reviews of this place but they must be relatives of the owners! AC was broken so iti was hot as hell in there. Fried pork skins that are put out on the table when you sit down must have been there for yrs| Ordered the Spring rolls. Outside was hot and crispy. Inside was ICE COLD.Hot and Sour soup was at best eatable. Not good but eatable.Wife and I both got the Beef Teppan Special. Only thing special about it was that the noodles where incrediblely over cooked. All in all would not go back again if they paid me to eat there. read more

Best local chinese food, bar none. It has become a family classic: for years, we actually would order the green beans for our holiday dinners and one Christmas we actually ate here for dinner! Much prefer eating in here versus take out, but everything is always great. Our favorite dish is the Black Pepper Scallops. Delish! read more
