Good prices and a fairly long menu make this a decent option for Chinese take-out in Maplewood. We got a variety of vegetarian items; these included scallion pancakes, which, we've found, aren't so common around here. The food was ready quickly. The General Tso's tofu and bean curd Szechuan style were too similar--and definitely too fried--for my liking. In fairness, they probably would not have been as similar if we hadn't requested the former to be mild. The sesame noodle appetizer was heavy and good. It was not at all what we were picturing, which was more like a light cellophane noodle salad. Instead, it was a vast plate of thick noodles in a salty, tangy, nut butter sauce. This would have been enough for a meal in its own right, and was a great deal. Note that the hot and sour soup contains pork. They never said it didn't, and we didn't ask, so I'm not complaining. I ate it anyway, and it was fine. The scallion pancakes were tasty but unnecessarily greasy. One of the items on our order got left off, but we weren't charged for it. read more

This is by far the worst Chinese place. This place used the be great food snd service. The lady who anseers the phone and front desk is rude, disrespectful, and disgusting. The lady should not be at this establishment. This business been here for years and she is giving the business a bad name. read more

I ordered it from here on DoorDash by mistake because I was trying to order from closer Hunan wok. I ordered some ribs and the sweet-and-sour chicken. The ribs are OK. Nothing special. The sweet-and-sour chicken was pretty tender and a good portion. read more

I ordered some shrimp broccoli and white rice on Uber eat from this place and when I got my food this what I found in it, I was so hungry and I didn't eat nothing the whole day just to find some uncooked chicken under my rice I'm so disappointed I will never from this place again !!!! read more

Hunan Wok - Shrimp L20. Shrimp with Broccoli Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Maplewood, New Jersey

Well I haven't left a review on any places in a while .. but for this place .. I have time today .. so it's local . Has decently price lunch specials .. never to over the top Great.. I do love hot and sour soup .. but theirs taste like dirty bath water .. weird after taste .. well the real reason for this review is the lil lady in the front .. on the phone .. wherever she may be at the time .. but its her .. I called based off of the menu online .. come to find out the prices have changed and due to my questions about that . She became rude and confused by my questions but part of me thinks she has to get this all The time ..it's a online menu ..Simply by how offended she was ....anyway . I was so shocked by her responses but I was hungry so I still went though still ordering and she kindly slammed the phone down ..once I hung up .. within 30 seconds my mind and my wallet said wait .. screw this . I called back and said cancel this order .."you hung up in my face " ......and guess wants y'all ....she hung up in my face again . Never again . And she is lucky I don't drive there just to make a scene in her place .. I was really on My way . I will. It be disrespected..but no woman .after I've given her plenty of my money on the past . But just take this one star and shove it boo. read more

I had plain lo mein w broccoli added, and onion fried rice.. he got chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce.. ready for this part?! We also got teriyaki CHICKEN sticks.. here is a view of one of mine.. i guess they got confused with rat and chicken.. the stuff ppl talk about the meat not being real chicken.. IS REAL.. never returning and i advise others not to as well.. sorrynotsorry read more

See all

Definitely the best Chinese Takeout in Cranford. The other 2 places doesn't hold a candle. The food is cooked well and taste fresh. The lunch special is definitely worth it compared to the dinner. I feel like the extra $4 for the dinner prices isn't much more than the lunch. read more

The food is deplorable ... the young ladies there are borderline irate. I recently placed an order and they canceled without any notice. I went in to pick up the order and got the food and they acted as if they didn't know what I just ordered... I would have left but was starving. I honestly think they tampered with the order ! Finding new a Chinese takeout is like finding a new church. read more

The quality of the food is the worst, they went from a 9 to 2. You are paying more for way less. The food has no taste.

Love this place. Food is always fresh and ready within 15-20min. My favorite is the half chicken with ketchup and hot sauce on top (lots of it)!!!! read more

Chicken and broccoli is terrible. I am not sure why it's so bad but it smells like spoiled food. Avoid it at all cost

Not good. One star because it is reasonably priced. Very bland tasteless food. The fried rice is not real Chinese fried rice, it is yellow rice which is not fried with a few chopped onions thrown in. We ordered lo mein, fried rice and boneless ribs. easy standard items. Just not good. Won't go back. read more

This food was trash and the lady taking my order had a nasty attitude. I drove here thinking the food might be better since is a nicer area but I was wrong. read more

Good food , large portions, my favorite is the chicken wings, and the sweet and sour combinations! Always super fast wait times and speedy delivery! Support local read more

Solid Chinese takeout place. Some dishes are about a dollar more expensive than at other places, but it's a good alternative. Dragon Meets Phoenix ($11.55): Sounds like a cheap-production porno, but it's actually butterflied shrimp alongside Gen. Tso's Chicken. If you like dishes such as sweet and sour shrimp and orange chicken, this is for you. The shrimp was a bit crispy, while the chicken were large chunks. It comes with rice on the side. Wonton Soup ($3.40): Cheap and filling--perfect for those late nights after work or night classes. It's served piping hot with a lot of large pork-stuffed wontons. These are the same wontons they use for their steamed wontons appetizer. At $3.40, you will be warm and full. Shrimp Chop Suey ($8.95): It's very "soupy" because of all the corn starch they used, but taste wise, it's alright. I found the vegetables a bit soggy, though, since they are immersed in the starchy sauce/gravy. The shrimp was cooked just right. Shrimp in Lobster Sauce ($10.75): It's basically shrimp in a similar starchy sauce/gravy. There was plenty of shrimp that was cooked just right along with a few vegetables thrown in. It's not salty--for me at least--so no soy sauce or salt is needed. It comes with rice as well. Yangchow Fried Rice ($8.75): Probably the only fried rice I'm fond of. The problem is, this lacks a bit in flavor. The YC Fried Rice I'm used to has a yellowish color and has plenty of egg, char siu, scallions, and more. This had pieces of imitation crab meat and a few greens, but that was all. Then again, it's Chinese take out. The food is typically ready in about 25 to 35 minutes, sometimes quicker if there aren't that many customers or phone orders. read more

I've ordered from this place quite frequently over the course of about 5 years. It's a shame I decide to give a review after feeling jilted but so is the way of life. I've constantly ordered delivery for my family as I no longer eat Chinese food and the service along with the food has been adequate...just adequate- 2 stars the most. But today they deserve one star for their service. I ordered 2 lunch specials which had a choice of coming with an egg roll or a soda. When I placed the order, I asked for an egg roll for each lunch special but instead the lunch specials came with sodas. My children don't drink soda so I was especially irritated about it as the sodas will only go in the garbage. I called to let them know and this is how the conversation went: Me: Hi! I called previously to order 2 lunch specials. Hunan Wok: Yes we delivered already. Me: Yes, I know but you gave me sodas and I asked for egg rolls. Hunan Wok: No, you didn't ask for anything. Me: Yes I did maybe you didn't hear me. Hunan Wok: No you didn't. You asked for lunch specials and no egg rolls so we gave you soda. Me: No I did ask for sodas. If you didn't hear me or you didn't know then you should have asked me what I wanted. Hunan Wok: No, we never ask. We just give soda when you no say nothing and YOU no say nothing. But if you want, you can come get. Me: Huh? Are you kidding me? I know what I asked for. I did ask for egg rolls, you didn't hear me. That's fine but don't you dare tell me that I said nothing. That's not how it works. How it works...is...you apologize; even if you THINK I'm wrong!!! AND then you offer an exchange. What kind of business are you running? There's ten thousand Chinese food restaurants in this area and I've been ordering from your place for years- Yes, a long-time customer but I won't be back!!! Have a good day! That type of service where a merchant argues with his/her customers is not on my agenda and they do not deserve my hard-earned dollar. I'll be using Yelp to locate a new Chinese food restaurant. No I do not recommend this place. read more

We are done with Hunan Wok. HEADS UP - the dishes have 60% rice in them. They are OVERCHARGING ppl for shitty rice( we usually toss it) and cooking with OLD BURNED OIL. This is a change from 2021. Also I loved their hot and sour and it's seriously gone downhill. read more

Worst service ever. Extremely rude and disrespectful. Tried to place a to go order and was met with disrespectful remarks and poor sarcasm. I would never order from there again due to the poor excuse for customer service. read more

Unreliable, hard to deal with them because they don't appear to understand English well or their phone may be cheap and unreliable because you often have to yell into the phone to make yourself understood. Ordered food, was told an hour wait, 1.5 hours later, only half the order was delivered. Manager told me he would deliver missing food free in half an hour. 1 hour later, no food. Called again and was told I must have misheard when manager repeated the order back to me. Will *never* order from them again, and we were ling time customers but this is the last straw. read more

Love the ribs here! The food is pretty good and quick delivery based on time given when they are taking your order.

The Chinese food here is one of the best if not the best in town. I'm from New York and this beats all the take out I've had from there. I come to Maplewood often to visit family and every time I come I have to stop by! If you're in the area you can't go wrong with Hunan Wok. read more

Just so so. Nothing spectacular. Ordered 3 lunch specials, 2 chicken w/ garlic sauce, 1 shrimp human style. Wanted it spicy, came out mild. The veggies were very fresh and crisp, but the taste, I think I detected MSG. Do they still use MSG? I thought that sht was outlawed. My mistake for not saying "No MSG!" Well the prices were ok, $28. And change for 3 lunch specials and an order of 4 wings and fries. Specials came with your choice of rice and a can of soda, so all in all it was a fair deal, just nothing to rave over. I guess they think most of their white customers like it bland...but not me. You read more

I think they are the best cheap take out Chinese in both Maplewood and South Orange. I mainly judge a place on their dumplings, and theirs are by far the best! read more

I have ordered from Hunan many times. My son and our family used to be huge fans of this restaurant. However, on 8/19/18 I called to place our usual order and was met with the rudest snottiest person EVER! After she took on this tone, I told her to cancel my order, grabbed my keys and went up to said restaurant. I walked up to the counter where a young girl was working and asked if she was the woman I spoke to on the phone. She played dumb for a few seconds. I asked to speak to the owner. She said she was in charge but the owner was, Nicole. She apologized sarcastically and ended it with a "Can I get you a soup?" and smiled like she had said something very clever. I said I'd like the speak to the owner. She took a call coming in and I waited. She finished the call and I said I would like some way to speak to the owner. She (after consulting with another employee and taking five more minutes) wrote down a name Nicole, a number (which I don't believe is Nicole's) and said "There you go... you can call my mother at this number" and flashed me a smile. Needless to say, I will be talking to Nicole, but until her "daughter" learns simple customer service (even under stressful conditions)... I'll be taking my appetite and money elsewhere! I will be contacting "Nicole", but until Hunan feels the need to rectify this situation...this review will stand. read more

Took over an hour and a half to get our food when they said it should take 30-40 minutes. Ridiculous. read more

There is this cute little hispanic girl that works there and she will go out her way to make sure your order is correct. Enjoy! read more

Hunan Wok - Great place . Great service. - Chinese Near Me - Maplewood, New Jersey

This is one of those finds you wish you found. Hunan Wok in the Hilton area of Maplewood is awesome. It looks like a hole in the wall and has been there forever. At some point - maybe about five years ago (?) the staff changed. They are younger, hipper, more helpful and better communicators. The actual food is fresh, succulent and delicious. My family's favorite item on the menu are the fried pork dumplings. Other favorites have been: Singapore Noodles, Buddha's Delight ; Seafood Delight; the spare Rib tips, the spare ribs, Mixed Vegetables in Brown Sauce; General Sao's Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli in Garlic Sauce, Egg Foo Young, Scallion Pancakes, the fried wings, egg rolls and the cold sesame noodles. The delivery guys are super fast. On rare occasion they forget stuff but they always make up for it and bring the missing stuff. Sometimes we order it for our guests and they love it. If you want chop sticks, ask a couple of times very deliberately. You have to ask for fortune cookies...I think those are going out of style. read more

Ordered takeout Never had a problem Today they where very neglect. Kept saying on there way. Never showed No business Never again

Our go to Chinese place for delivery. Always good and delivered in around 30 minutes.

I don't know why this place gets such bad reviews. I'm from NYC and this place has totally acceptable cheap, good Chinese food. This is my go-to spot for Chinese delivery, but to be fair, I always gets the classic dishes; sweet/sour chicken, egg roles, etc. Stick with the basics and you should have a pretty decent meal. read more

I placed an order there earlier today when I received the order there was a dead roach on top of the cartoon I have pictures to prove it I will never order from there again disgusting read more

Hunan Wok - Here's the proof - Chinese Near Me - Maplewood, New Jersey

I am amazed that this place is in business. I was told 30, 35 minutes.... An HOUR and a HALF later, a very rude phone call, a delivery man who couldn't drive to my house 5 minutes away.... And NO RICE to boot!!!! I have never heard of Chinese food with no rice! Never again. read more

This take out Chinese place is one of the tastiest in town. I stay away from most of the other takout places except for this place and Asia Gardend 2 on Stuyvesant Avenue. I've been a regular here since it opened about 7 years ago. I just had a lunch today and it was wonderful. read more

Yuuuuuuuck. Gave it two tries because my fiancé will eat any Chinese food.. Both times it was not edible and I threw mine away. The sauce has a weird, rotten flavor. read more

I was in search of great "Chinese food" and I stumbled across this place. The food is great I ordered boneless spare ribs, garlic chicken wings, egg foo young chicken. And first the Boneless ribs were great. They were not thin and crispy. They were thick and meaty. The garlic sauce on the city was great also. Egg foo young came with the sauce on the side. It was an overall great experience. Great costumer service here made us feel welcome. read more

I use Uber Eats a few times a month to have Hunan Wok delivered. It's always good & always quick. One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area! read more

Delicious food and you can get a lot for a fairly cheap price. They never screw up my order. Only problem is that they take an extremely long time for delivery. read more

They are not worth the money. They are late, the food arrives cold and no matter how many times you call saying that your order is NOT at your home, they will reply that it has already left. I will neither be using this restaurant again, nor will I be recommending it to anyone. At best I will suggest that prospective customers look at the review. I most certainly wish that I had. read more

very good food, boneless spare ribs are to die for. chicken mei fun with the garlic sauce is INCREDIBLE only thing i wish they had was Crab Rangoon and they do not read more
