Before i ate here, I wasn't a big fan of white rice. This place changed my mind. Love the food, & portions are very fair. It's a very oriented family place. The service it's also excellent, ever since my first visit, I became a regular once a week. read more

I've been coming here for over a decade. It's been our go to restaurant for my family. The portions are big and the food is always top-notch. read more

A friend from college introduced me to Hunan Plus over a decade ago. It's quick cheap food with no frills. I pop in every now and then for to-go food only so not sure how it is dine-in nowadays. My go to is the Yu Shiang chicken and beef with bamboo shoots. Things a heavily sauced and greasy but it's just how I remembered it. The portions are a good size and easily enough left over for the next day. read more

I've been coming to this place for over 15 years now. It's changed a bit-- no longer such a hole in the wall as it was before, but it still retains a lot of the same charm. The original owners sold it and bought another place, which brought about some price increases, but it's still a great value. From what I've been told, the menu is a bit more authentic than what you'd find at a typical Americanized Chinese restaurant, but in China Town, that should be expected. Their lunch special is served individually, and is worth coming for itself. It used to go for just above $3, but now is about $5.50 - $6.50 depending on what entrée you get. It comes with hot & sour soup, an egg roll, egg fried rice, a small side salad, and an entrée. It's enough food to fill you up and then some. If you come in the evening, all of the meals are served family style, so it's best not to order an entrée each. I've found that ordering a soup (they serve about a quart per order for like $3-4) and an entrée is enough for two, and you can add another appetizer or entrée to generate enough food to accommodate third or fourth person. Altogether, it will still be around $20-25. read more

I just want to drop note here to say that this restaurant IS OPEN since I saw another recent review say they were closed. However, they are TAKE OUT ONLY now (no dine in), and do take out for both lunch and dinner. I just went today and ordered their Kung Pao Chicken for lunch. The order was ready in ~5min, super fast! Their Kung Pao Chicken is not the most traditional, but I really love their flavor - haven't found another place like it yet. read more

Been searching for a place like this ever since Chinese Cafe (Bellaire Blvd., Hwy 6, Richmond Ave., etc.) closed down. Unpretentious, attractively priced (especially given their portion sizes), and consistently delicious. They have all the old favorites I remember from that mini franchise - especially the mushroom chicken and the best shrimp fried rice on the face of the planet. New location is arguably more comfortable/modern, but a little trickier to get into because of the horrible [almost hidden] entrance off the feeder road. Still, I would run across the beltway if I had to if that's what it took to get their beef and bamboo shoots. A true Houston treasure that must be protected -and patronized- at all costs. read more

Their lunch special is awesome. For a low price, you get fried rice, eggroll, a little bit of salad, an entree of your choice, and soup. I usually get their cashew chicken or Scallion beef for lunch special. But sometimes, when I don't feel like ordering from the lunch menu, I'd get me some Gai Lan Chicken fun or Orange chiken, or even wonton soup. This four star rating was given with some reservation though. It's mostly for the food because I love me some greasy Chinese food. However, just like other restaurants in Chinatown, you're crazy if you're expecting great, or even good service. read more

Hunan Plus - Lunch special menu. - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was craving shredded pork and bamboo, and this is the only restaurant I know of that has this besides Yantze. Since Yantze became so gross after the new ownership years ago, I've been searching high and low. On yelp, it shows the prices here were still cheap at $5.50 or less. My mistake. I called and ordered for pick up, and apparently, everything is about $7.99 or higher. I would have gone to my usual places for that price. I didn't knock any stars off for being more expensive than I expected though. As for the food, the pork and bamboo was good. I got yu shiang chicken which was also good (but I've never had it anywhere else to compare it to). The sesame chicken was dry and hard on the inside. The house crispy noodles was bland and tasted just off. Would I come back? Not likely. read more

We've enjoyed this place a couple of times with a large group, and thus have been able to sample a number of the appetizers and entrees. My personal favorite here is the kung pao chicken -- definitely a better-than-average version. Onion pancakes are fantastic, well-browned like my favorite fresh flour tortillas. Dumplings were also good, as was the beef and flat noodles. Only real negative -- on our last visit, the crispy chicken was overly dry. No atmosphere to speak of, but friendly, prompt service. It's a winner. read more

This place is closed - i called (no one picked up) and then went to the store 2 weekends in a row between october and november 2021 during when the store said they were open (I arrived during the posted signage store hours well before closing time both times) and the place was pitch black - i peeked through the door opening and it did not look like anyone had been inside for a while and the chairs were stacked up. read more

Finally found the best chinese restaurant in Katy. Affordable, great service!! Tried their crispy pork ribs. Delicious! Their sweet and sour chicken is also great. Chinese cravings? This is the place to go. Honest! You won't feel sorry! read more

They're open 7 days a week now--used to be closed on Tuesdays. Also, lunch specials are now $3.99, $4.35 after tax. It's still a great deal compared to other places around town. read more

The original owners who started this place had a really great thing going. We used to eat here all the time and actually got to know the owner's daughter Lisa pretty well. She was always very cordial to us and knew us on a first name basis. I can't tell you how many take out orders that I've gotten from this place. Too many to remember! But since they moved to a new restaurant Yangtze...we have hardly been back. Well the other day I decided to check it out and found out it hasn't really changed that much inside. I ordered my favorite lunch special expecting the free soup that I could always expect with it but was told that they didn't offer that. I only received a 3/4 full small bowl of lukewarm and watered down hot & sour soup....bummer. I do have to admit though that the lunch special that came out was pretty generous. A nice round plate with a nice mound of rice...some chopped up lettuce..not sure what that was for...an eggroll and the main course which tasted decent. My only complaint was the lack of free soup! Come on guys that's what made Hunan Plus so special! It used to be you had to wait to get a seat in that place during lunch..when I was there it was hardly full! The next day I went to Yangtze but didn't see Lisa...I saw some unfamiliar faces but the food appeared the same and the soup was free! I hope Lisa and her family didn't sell the restaurant even though I didn't detect a difference in the quality of the food...But things change...The restaurant business is tough and the competition is always breathing down your neck so I wouldn't blame Lisa if she got out.. Anyways...Hunan Plus is not the same...I miss the old days. It's just ok. read more

LOVE the beef and bamboo shoots dish and the kung pao chicken and shrimp. Egg drop soup is flavorful and the dishes come with white steamed rice. read more

Ordered the hot and sour soup to go and it tasted like they mixed the left over egg drop soup in with it. It was not sour at all, all salty yet not much flavor. Thumbs down... read more

My stomach is gurgling just thinking about this place.. and not the good kind of gurgle. The last time we went here I think some of the food was either dropped on the floor, rummaged through by rats/roaches, or just plain dirty b/c everyone had the runs for a couple days afterwards. I'm sure this place would make Marvin Zindler create a new title in his hall of shame. Yes this place is dirt cheap and the food isn't too bad but damn they probably haven't cleaned the kitchen since sliced bread was invented. It IS good training to eat here though if you intend to visit China/Taiwan for an extended period of time.. read more

Hahaha Hunan Plus ... cheap food. Totally for poor college kids who eat a lot and have no money and don't care about service or quality. I miss those days :) read more

You're deep in the heart of chinatown for a reason. It isn't for the cleanliness and the great service. It is for the greasy, over-sauced CHEAP food. I go here when I have a hungering for old-fashioned Chinese food and when I get sick of Corporate America's Chinese Panda food. I usually try not to drink water here because it is my believe that all pipes leading to Chinatown is dirty. But other than that...come with a group of friends and get WAY too full family style for about $6 a person. read more

Went here with my fiance for lunch. We were originally going to a buffet in the same plaza but we didn't realize it was all vegetarian and such a rude staff so we left. At hunan we sat down immediately and got our drink orders taken. After looking over the menu we made our decisions. He came back with our drinks and we put in our order. This is where the 4 star part comes in. We sat down and probably ordered at the same time as another couple but we somehow had to wait longer for our food. We didn't ordered anything crazy so it was odd. It seems that they only cater to regulars and locals. When I stepped in I said to my fiance "it smells like a Mexican restaurant". I'm Hispanic from the Rio grande valley so I know my Mexican food smells. All in all the price was great and the portions were very generous. I would definitely go back. read more

The crispy squid, kung pao chicken and shrimp favorites. Their customer service sux. I always have to get up and get my family drinks. My main complaint is the tip. They charged me 1 dollar more for the same thing. A tip is forced on your bill. They assume your going to pay it. Its illegal in Texas to charge a tip. read more

Hunan Plus - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

A typical HOLE IN THE WALL chinese restaurant with great tasting food and terrific prices. Although they close on Tuesday, I'll wait until Wednesday for the doors to open again. Lunch specials are TOO CHEAP but am not complaining, just wonder how they keep the great product. Dinner is very good and I like the chinese gailain with oyster sauce. read more

I was torn between three and four stars. We come here when we are craving greasy Chinese food. You CAN'T beat the prices. Service is slow though... and when they don't feel like making something, they tell you they have run out of it. Garlic eggplant - Chinese eggplant with some sort of mushroom/seaweed and ground pork with a sweet brown garlic sauce (5/5) - I always get this. Pork with Bamboo shoots - exactly what the name says 3.5/5 - one of the greasier dishes, but my mom ALWAYS orders this. onion pancake - this is one of the dishes they say they run out of, but they just don't feel like making it. 5/5 - i dip it in sugar. Pan fried dumplings - they fry one side, and it is PERFECT - for ten, you pay like $3-$4... LOVE IT, and you can't beat the price. It kills me that you go to fusion restaurants and pay $1 per dumpling and they don't taste nearly as good as the ones here. 5/5 Lo mein - at $5-$6 an order, we ordered four for a potluck we were going to. It was a tad greasy, but a nice potluck idea. The portion was a good size. Service - always slow, but they are nice 2/5 Ambiance - 1/5 - this is a hole in the wall restaurant, but the prices are awesome. read more

Every time placing an order, it is never being made correctly any more. If you place an order over the phone, more than half of the time they cannot understand what you are saying and instead of repeating the order back, they assume what they hear and when you pick up the order and realize it is incorrect and inform them of the issue they get angry, yell, and make a scene in front of the entire restaurant. It's unfortunate that service has gone downhill and food cannot be made correctly. Oh and not to mention I've seen cockroaches on the walls the last time I ordered to go and picked up read more

Yeah...the food is not too good here. And the service not particularly attentive. But then again you're not in chinatown for the service, so while the price is righter than even the other cheap chinese places, there's a reason for it. Nothing specifically horrible or scary or sickening, but just very mediocre and unmemorable. read more

Like a less greasy Chinese cafe, Hunan Plus offers many chinese dishes for dirt cheap. A family of four can eat for under 30 bucks. I recommend the pork with bamboo shoots, pork fried dumplings, kung pao chicken, or their fried rice. All big enough portions to feed 2-4 people, but I do have to say this place is hit or miss. Sometimes it's really good and sometimes it's terrible but nothing extra spicy sauce or soy sauce wouldn't cure. My boyfriends family and I eat from here at least 2-3 times a month. In a seedy little corner next to Bodard restaurant that you probably would never notice if someone didn't point it out to you. Be warned, even though the food is good and cheap, it's not the cleanest place in the world nor the most sanitary. read more

I've had kung pao chicken from a lot of places and none have even compared to their kung pao here. It's absolutely my favorite dish. Pretty cheap good food here. Taking a star off because the restaurant is not the cleanest one on the block.. Service is good and atmosphere is casual; they have big table for big groups also but the restaurant is a bit small. So if you're a kung pao chicken fan, I recommend giving it a try here among with the other pretty delish dishes they serve! read more

Giving this place 4 stars only because they have really good food and it's really cheap as well. When my boyfriend and I don't want to cook, this is our go-to spot...this place, in my opinion, has the best Kung Pao Chicken in Houston. My boyfriend agrees. He comes here for their Kung Pao. We've also tried other things on their menu, like their Salted Ribs, Crispy Fish Filet, Green Beans and the noodle dishes. All are really good, but the Kung Pao tops it all. As far as appearance, it really is not that great. The paint on the walls are chipping off, the little fish tank they have in the front has green water, is dirty and unappealing (not really the kind of thing I wanna see when walking into a restaurant), and the workers are ALWAYS on their phones. They'll serve you the food but other than that, they hardly come around to check on you. We were just there yesterday and the servers didn't even say goodbye to us because they were too busy watching videos on their phone. I wasn't too happy about that. They need to be more attentive. Overall, we just come here for the food. It's not the cleanest and service isn't the best, but the food is awesome. read more

Stay away from this place!! 1. We saw a roach crawling next to the table 2. Food sucks I'm only giving it a one star because our waiter was nice and because Yelp has nothing less. read more

I saw others reviews. I guess they didnt close. I am so excited about the greasy eggrolls being so close to work. Yay.

I don't often start out reviews with "It's scary", but it's scary that this place looks completely unchanged in a decade. I used to eat there in the early 2000's and it looks to me that even the decor is the same (new tables and chairs, basically). It was a really greasy meal, but dang was it a good deal, and from the looks of it, you're still getting a full meal for less than $5. If you want inexpensive take out, this is your place to go. read more

Hunan plus is great bang for your buck. Not much to look at on the inside, but some find little hole in the wall places charming. Went with a former friend who loved to go there because of the portions and the lunch prices. I've been a couple of times. First time I went I ordered the sesame chicken, I was not a fan. Second time I got shrimp fried rice, and Kung Pao Chicken and shrimp. Both those dishes were not bad. I was pleasantly surprised by the fried rice. Good place to go if your are getting carry out and are on a tight budget in my opinion. read more

Maybe the chef was having a bad day, but this was just a strange meal. The hot and sour soup was not spicy and not sour, the gailan was bitter, the beef was tasteless and the yu-hsiang pork was more sweet than cayenne and garlic. This is a little hole in the wall place in the Welcome Food Center Plaza. Seems like they do a reasonable business. The portions are very generous and the prices are inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. read more

Not healthy, but food is very cheap and your five dollars worth. You leave full, and it does taste good.

If you're looking for really good Chinese food, with large portions and cheap prices, you've found the right place. This is our favorite cheapy Chinese restaurant. The following dishes are highly recommended: Yu Shiang (hot) chicken or shrimp, sizzling scallops with beef, Sha Cha (hot) shrimp and garlic eggplant (hot). These 4 dishes would be about $25 and four people would probably end up taking home half of the order. The noodle, chicken, pork , bean curd and vegatarian dishes are all $4.99 each.

Ate here and got food poisoned, sick for two days afterwards. Stay away from the noodles I think that was the cause.
