Hunan restaurant is the real deal. Great buffet, there's about 20 or more items to choose from and everything is served hot & the trays are kept full. The items on the Buffet are full of Chicken, beef, and pork or shrimp. read more

Glad we tried it! Better than most Chinese places. Food was plentiful and delicious. Will def order from there again

Have been regulars at Hunan in Bloomington for years. Great buffet as well as menu items.

Service: Helpful staff Food: meh!!! Wasn't a fan .My boyfriend on other hand loved it. Cleanliness : Very I think I'll skip this place and search for something else read more

I was in the area for work and happened to stumble upon this restaurant by my hotel. I wasn't expecting much but was VERY surprised. The meal was so good I came back the following night and got it again. Which is a rarity for me. I got the fried rice (Cantonese style) which has beef and lettuce and they made it spicy for me. I also ordered the shrimp ball and mushroom hotpot. Very authentic tasting which is what I look for! The people taking my order also recognized me from the previous night and we're very friendly. If I am ever in the area again I'll definitely be back. read more

My first takeout order over the lunch hour last week was prepared timely and was perfectly done. The sesame chicken was really good...far better than most other Chinese restaurants. It was a darker, more flavorful sauce. I'll go back! read more

I and my boyfriend come here often at least once a week. Friendly staff, good foods. As an Asian, the taste is good for us. Best Chinese food in town. We have lived in downtown, eat Uptown but no place taste as good as Hunan-Bloomington. Some ppl complaint about buffet selections, but here is the thing: it's only $8.99 (or so for lunch) and $11.99 for dinner with foods of your choice (buffet?!?). If you think Panda Express is better than this, then you must have a cheap taste. If not, pay $20-30 for a nice buffet with sushi and seafood. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years and have yet to be disappointed, especially when coming in for the buffet (which I'd highly recommend for a first visit). The food quality is impressive, and the staff is courteous, friendly, and very quick to serve. The selection may not be tremendous, and you will likely find some consistent dishes at each visit, but that just means your trusty favorites will be ready and waiting to satisfy your cravings at the next visit. Moreover, the price fits the food and experience. read more

The food was very tasty and fresh and I enjoyed it very much. The cream cheese one time were stuffed with filling in the cream cheese was rather sweet. I also had the chicken with snow peas and it was very good it had mushrooms and bamboo shoots and water chestnuts with a very tasty soy based sauce. Would recommend restaurant read more

They have online ordering on their own website so next time I will use that vs grub hub. The tiger pork is a wonderful slow spicy. We also got the appetizer sampler the shrimp and chicken skewers were our favorite items. read more

We ordered on their website for the first time tonight. The process was smooth and service was outstanding. 100% contact free at pick up. We loved the dumplings and the Shrimp with Walnuts was amazing. We will be back and will try other selections. read more

This was our first time at Hunan. The service was great. They were very attentive and we didn't need to ask or look for a server once. The food was delicious. Better than the food at our regular restaurant back home. Not salty and VERY flavorful. We started off sharing the chicken egg rolls. Very good. A tad spicy (which I'm not used to)but pleasantly surprised. My husband had the shrimp lo mein. Excellent! Of course I had to try it. The shrimps were cooked to perfection. I had the chicken egg foo young. Excellent! Our son had one of the house specials. Excellent! Good food, good service!! Next time we are in Minnesota this will definitely be one of our stops! read more

Good food; fair prices. My favorites are the Cantonese style egg rolls and the honey walnut shrimp. I've never had a disappointing meal here. read more

Hunan Restaurant - Cantonese style egg rolls - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Food is always hot and fresh. Service is great when eating in. The waiter was very friendly and explained some items on the menu. Also gave us some recommendations. The tiger pork is our favorite dish. read more

Ordered the salt and pepper fried fillet, sweet and sour pork, tofu bowl. The food are very flavorful and tender. Top notch quality what the price you pay! read more

Terrible food. Crunchy cabbage, dry egg roll. Burnt rice & egg foo young. I couldn't even eat it. A server tried to justify the burnt egg foo young by saying that it has to burn when you deep fry it. But that's not true. I've been eating egg foo young since I was a small child and it's never burned. Yuck...$41 down the drain. I can't say for sure, but they were putting the buffet away when we arrived. I seriously think they took old fried rice from the buffet, refried it and served it to us in our jumbo shrimp fried rice. Even the shrimp was terrible, hard and rubbery. We left 90% of it on the table...hind sight is 20/20... read more

No. I saw what looked to be some good reviews, but just no. The chicken seemed old. Over cooked with the sauce kind of crusted around it. The fried rice was like literally white rice and sloppy soy sauce. Some grains were not even fully covered. And the egg rolls were bland. Won't be back. read more

Best Chinese food in the area! So happy to have found this restaurant. (The flavor reminds me a lot of my old favorite Village Wok at the U of M that is now closed.) The egg foo young is great, with a flavorful gravy. Portion sizes are generous. Love getting takeout because they are so quick. Staff are friendly and restaurant is clean. read more

This is a great little place that is tucked away! It has a daily lunch buffet, which doesn't have too many options. But in my opinion, that is what makes a GREAT buffet! Everything is made so well. Staff is friendly, remembers their regulars, and price is very affordable. I highly recommend this place, so if you were unsure if you should try it...you most definitely should!! read more

I have been coming here for 5 years. The food is good, they are always busy, but I come here for the service. They are so efficient, fast, & you're in and out without waiting! That means everything in a metro area such as the Twin Cities. They are so noticeably ahead of many others when it comes to customer care. You can trust that the people operating this restaurant have been taught by the best! Great lunch buffet! read more

Small cozy atmosphere. Great place to meet up with friends! We came for dinner and ordered the sweet and spicy beef short ribs and ma po tufu. The ribs were amazing!! Perfect blend of a sweet and spicy flavor, the dish could have been bigger but I'm just greedy with food. The ma po tofu was good too, not as spicy as I would like but a more authentic taste than other restaurants. read more

The Peking Chicken was very good, especially if you like spicy without the typical overly sweet chinese sauce. We also enjoyed the Salt and Pepper Bean Curd. You have to be familiar with tofu to truly get into this dish. It was done well on a bed of lightly seasoned shredded cabbage. The tofu was firm and fried to a nice crisp. read more

Hunan Restaurant is a good Takeout choice in Bloomington MN. I've been at least once a week for two months. The food is consistently hot and tasty. I have to say that the chicken dishes have been the favorite each week. Of course this is in MN so the spicy chicken dishes are spicy enough to taste good to me without being too spicy so if you want a lot of spice ask them to make it spicier. Of the beef and pork choices tried the favorite has been Tiger Pork and the BBQ pork fried rice. The service over the phone tends to be a bit gruff but the orders are always ready when promised and the food is still piping hot when I get home. read more

If your looking for a quick lunch buffet this fits the bill, a lot of choices the problem everything tastes the same & everything is over loaded with salt. The sauces don't have any differentiation orange chicken didn't taste different from sweet & sour....you get the point. Overall average food not impressed enough to come back for a second shot. read more

This is the very definition of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but that's what makes it great. There's no frills to be found here: just a great Chinese place that's been doing what they do for years. Love to swing by here on a summer day downtown. They deliver, but if you're a hipster like me you'll want to show up in person. read more

We got take-out during the Stay at Home order and the food was just as great as if we would have dined in. We ordered sesame chicken, honey walnut shrimp and pan-fried noodles. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of shrimp in the container, around 16 pieces. Sesame chicken and the pan-fried noodle portions were slightly smaller than dine-in portions, but decently filled the containers. Plastic containers and complimentary almond cookies (6) were the nicest touch, thanks! read more

Nothing fancy but this is our go to Chinese Restaurant. We like the egg drop soup cashew chicken and beef lo mein! Good service, reasonable prices, clean, fast for takeout and good food. read more

Chinese buffet... what else do I need to say. Anyone who gives this place more than three stars has either a pallet problem or a wallet problem. Don't get me wrong this is a very solid three-star establishment, but don't kid yourself into thinking you are walking into anything more than a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall across the street from a Sonic. read more

Here you will find a most amazing thing: a Chinese buffet that does not suck. Said buffet will feature items such as hot and sour soup that is both, potstickers that are not greasy, sesame chicken without the glop, kung pao chicken with flavor and heat, and so on. Staff are very friendly, and because the place draws a crowd, the buffet is frequently replenished with more freshly cooked tasty items. Based on the quality of the buffet, I'm guessing that off the menu and takeout are also good options here, but you'll have to see on those yourself. If you are looking for a quick, enjoyable lunch in the area of Penn and 494, give Hunan a try. read more

no. way. but maybe the standards in MSP are a lot lower for chinese food but somehow Yelp has managed to let me down again. Feeling like a little bit of good ole comfort food, I went to Hunan for some of the famed: Hot & $our Soup (name has been masked so that yelp wont pick it up) was very dark and chock full of stuff. If you dump a ton of seasoning and jello type stuff into a broth and let it reduce you'd get this soup. $esame Chicken - once again ... yelp reviewers raved and I had to comply, however, this was simply orange chicken pieces that were fried and then a "special" sauce was drizzled over it with some se$ame. ugh, that was the driest chicken i've ever had. Rice was even over cooked! Fail on asians cooking. Good luck to you guys. read more

Hunan prepared 23 lunch orders for our company event today and did a fantastic job! All orders were correct, labeled and delicious. Great take-out option with very friendly service. Thank you Hunan! read more

Hunan is delicious and a great buffet. The food is normally really fresh and restocked often. They have lemon chicken on the buffet which a lot of people like. Egg rolls are ok and there shrimp dishes are really good if you're not allergic. The staff is extremely friendly and always refilling the drinks. There is normally a lot of people here but never feels too crowded and we always get right in. read more

Great lunch buffet. The food is delicious and i have to avoid going here often because it's so good i always overeat. Now the food is very Americanized and very high in calories, but for that type of Chinese, it's really good. And as many others have mentioned, the buffet is small, but they have all the basics covered and i think nearly every dish is very well done. I'll take quality over quantity every time. For the price, the quality, the service, and the speed, you just can't beat it. There are many Chinese restaurants in area and I've absolutely never understood how places with terrible food like David wongs can get high reviews, but small places like this get bashed by some people. read more

Never been disappointed here with dine-in, take-out, or their lunch/dinner buffet. You know how you go to most Chinese restaurants and it tastes like they use the same sauce for every dish? NOT HERE! Everything is so favorable, comes out freshly cooked, and the staff are some of the nicest people I have ever met. The restaurant is very clean and the people here know what they are doing. Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Twin Cities. read more

Such a good restaurant! A little hole in the wall! Buffet was great and very authentic! I would highly recommend this place!

Best Chinese buffet! Small, but amazing food! Great service!!! We will be back. Buffet is served Fridays and saturdays for dinner, and mon-fri for lunch. walnut chicken was my fav. this is a must do!! read more

"Hunan" Restaurant apparently doesn't have Hunan food. There may be something on the menu, hidden under the generic American names for dishes, but the classic Hunan dishes I asked for were nowhere to be found. The waiter seemed puzzled that I would even ask for Hunan food. And the Sichuan that was also advertised on the door? Also not available. I was specifically told they did not have Sichuan food. But if you want a standard Chinese buffet, it's not bad. If you want something more, I'd look somewhere else. read more

We were hungry for Chinese food and were down Bloomington for another reason so we were unfamiliar with any places down there. Used Yelp and found Hunan Restaurant and we were not disappointed. We had the buffet and the quality of the food was very good, fantastic flavor and selection, and very friendly service. One of the comments I had read referred to their egg rolls needing to be better and I agree with that...they are Cantonese style which is good, but were the only item lacking in flavor and could have been a little crispier. Otherwise a great experience! read more

I read Yelp reviews on this place. The reviews made it seem very good. I was disappointed with some of the food. The Orange chicken did not have a good taste and the chicken was dry. The shrimp fried rice was just ok. The rice was overcooked and the shrimp tasted a little unclean. However, the customer service was great! The food was ready less than 10 min. A little bit pricy though, compared to where I am from. read more

Total legit Chinese restaurant. In my book a proper Chinese restaurant should have white pepper in the table salt and pepper shakers. Hunan does! Started with a cup of Hot and Sour soup, right on point, rich and full of flavor. Next was egg rolls, I was happy to see these are hand made on premise not frozen , pre made crap you see more and more. Egg Rolls were right on point and you get 2 with an order. For the main course I had Mandarin chicken. Excellent flavor and made with high quality chicken. I will be back for sure. read more
