    Consistently excellent Cantonese food. It doesn't get better than this. We come here from California every time we're in town.

    Good place for typical chinese take out. No surprises and all the dishes are above average. Not too oily, good flavor and very consistent.

    Food was not bad.. the only thing i disliked was that they only except cash so it was annoying to go to the bank to avoid the ATM fee

It is similar to Sichuan/Szechuan cuisine in ways, in that there is an emphasis on spicy foods, although the spice profiles differ. It is in the space formerly occupied by a different Chinese restaurant called Joyce (RIP - I loved and miss their short-lived foray into seafood boils). Although there are many great authentic (meaning regionally specialized) Chinese restaurants in Bergen County and northern NJ, including several Sichuan places, this is the only Hunan one I'm aware of (without venturing further south into NJ), and is certainly one of the nicest Chinese restaurants atmosphere-wise, with an elegant dining room. If you want to try the interesting and authentic dishes, of which there are plenty, order from the sections of the menu labeled with "Hunan" or "Home Style." The soups and cold appetizers are very traditional too. The house speciality is the Hunan steamed fish head with pickled chili - the platter is quite impressive and takes 20-30 min to prepare. You can add tofu (recommended) or noodles for an additional $5. We ordered this but since I'm not a fish head fan (and like my fish very simply dressed) - I think it was a type of carp - the appreciation for it was lost on me. It's topped with a heap of red chilis but is actually not as spicy as it looks. Personally I prefer the fish fillet dishes such as the fish with ginger, which has very tender filet slices. I loved the soup dumplings (large and soupy), shrimp with salted egg yolk (or any salted egg yolk dishes, which aren't easy to find), and enjoyed the tender sautéed beef dishes like beef with spring onion or the spicy green pepper with steak, with crunchy peppers that give a piquant refreshing kick. They have whole Peking duck (Beijing roast duck)! The menu only shows pricing for the whole duck but we asked for half and they obliged. To be honest it's not the best Peking duck I've had but the balance of crispy skin (that's yet not too fatty) to generously shaved lean duck meat was unimpeachable. And they use high-quality crepes that are superbly thin but do not tear. The lo mein is also pretty good - it's slightly smoky and is better than common. Parking tip: there are only a few spots in front but there is a parking lot in the back of the building with plenty of spaces. There are lots of exciting and exotic menu offerings and still many we'd like to try, so we'll be back repeatedly.

I had the soups and boxes of rice. I called the store and they said yes we forgot to give you the other bag, we will deliver it. I offered to come collect it but they said it would be right there. 30 minutes later it shows and the food I previously picked up was now cold and the other items are lukewarm. I drove back and explained this was unacceptable and I want them to remake the food, as it was over an hour old at this point. They said no problem but what I watched will make me never go back. They moved the items to another room and one by one brought them back and put them back in the bag. They took the egg rolls and threw them back in the fryer so they were a greasy mess. I informed the guy that I asked them to remake it and he told me no we would reheat it. They then told me that several of the things I ordered were the last items and they couldn't remake it. I asked them to refund my card, but it was never done. They clearly have little concern over food safety at this place and worse, they are deceptive and untrustworthy. It is a real pity because the food was decent but I will never eat it again after witnessing them take egg rolls that I handled back into the oil at the location.

    Hunan Royal - Very nice place, good chinese food, would recommend General Tso's and Sesame Chicken as the sauce was delicious.

There are literally ten waiters and bus boys constantly making their rounds. As soon as you put an empty dish to the side it's going to be cleared. When you enter and leave five different people will greet you. We unfortunately live in a time when restaurants will use the bare minimum of staff, and no shade to them, because times are tough. So it will never fail to blow me away how many people this restaurant employs and how well they take care of you. Enough about service - what does the food taste like? Super yummy, duh! I've never had anything I didn't like. The food portions are nice and big - you will have leftovers (which you take home in a reusable bag!). The highlight for me is their drinks.
