Great Hunan checks all the boxes on providing a great meal along with timewarp aesthetics and ambiance. We got the vegetable chow mein ($9) which features lightly cooked vegetables in a clear sauce along with crispy noodles. It's a tasty dish. The curry tofu ($9.75) is even better, with deep fried tofu in a fragrant, colorful sauce. This is the type of dish you see more often on vanishing Cantonese menus, but the Upper Midwest still has a good number of places with this dish. The braised tofu ($9.75) is a savory dish with tons of bamboo shoots and peapods in a light sauce. Great Hunan is one of the only Chinese restaurants in Winona and it's great. Check it out.

So as far as the food goes I had hot and sour soup. It was spicy but mostly broth. Not a hardy soup as you find in many Chinese restaurants. I'd pass. Also had the Kung Pao chicken. Very tasty. And portion was large enough to feed two people easily. Bill was $20. No fortune cookie and woman at the counter not welcoming. As far as Chinese restaurants are concerned Kung Pao was a quality dish.

The cook was Asian, so that was kinda good! But, overheard a patron inquire about origin, and he stated Malaysia. So, I ordered wonton soup two times, combo fried noodles, beef , pork, chicken and shrimp, hot tea and 4 egg rolls. I have to say, the dining room help... she was kinda " cold". Our food came and our order of Winton soup, was a cup with three pieces wonton! Holy smokes! Guess it's a region thing! The egg rolls were actually really good, after the four, I ordered three more LOL! Noodles were good, had taste and no complaints! I was surprised! They did have Chinese hot mustard! We were the solo people in dining room for a while, then a family of four and an elderly couple sat in. My child (5yrs old) had a infatuation with a gum ball machine, centered near entrance and near this elderly couple, who was dining a few feet from us. The older gent, either didn't like little kids, or because we looked different in their hood! Either way, his rudeness was felt in the sir, we paid and we left. They probably would had gotten a better review, but the hostess, was more bothered with us dining there, then doing her job, and seeing to it that we were served accordingly. I don't plan to be in Winona again, or anytime soon! I heard that's where Winona Ryder was raised? I'd like to think, not all country folks aren't as the ones who made my visit, kind of uneasy feeling

One gal serving tables and at the counter, but she was friendly and available. I got the Crab Rangoons and Drunken Noodles with pork. SO GOOD. The Crab Rangoon came as an order of 4 packed full and folded over into a triangle rather than a pouch. More room for filling! Drunken noodles were perfect. Wide flat noodles, plentiful veggies and pork, not very spicy (great for my mild palate). I wish I got to order the Shrimp Blanket but they had sold out earlier in the day. Guess I'll just have to go back I just hope they have diet soda when I go back. Odd to only have Pepsi or Mt Dew

It was definitely my favorite out of everything we ordered. We also shared the veggie stir fry (medium spicy), green curry with chicken, veggie pad lad nad, chicken leg quarter, and whole tilapia. The standouts were the veggie stir fry and green curry. They were so flavorful and perfectly seasoned, great over sticky rice. I also love that the rice was served in cute baskets. The tilapia was a little disappointing but I'm glad I tried it. I also ordered the Naab Vaam drink and I loved it! Not overly sweet and very refreshing. I could tell that the place was a bit understaffed that day but overall everyone was friendly. No outdoor seating but plenty of indoor seating. I'd come back again for Hmong's golden pork egg rolls!

They tasted great, I loved. the dipping sauces, but the pork was just very very thin strips, can't say I really noticed it, but both were tasty. The egg rolls were different than I've ever had in that they were long and thin - think I prefer them this way. They came out crispy and very hot to the table. We shared the fried chicken leg, which was the drumstick and the thigh, with sticky rice. I loved how they cut it into four pieces and how crispy the skin was. For dessert I had their special drink/dessert the Nab Vam. It is a "tapioca dessert drink filled with colorful jellies, crunchy water chestnuts, chewy pearls, lightly sweet with creamy coconut". It was not only beautiful, but delicious. Service was quick, and it's a bright, airy place, and I definitely would go back again.
