Pretty good food, I enjoyed the General's chicken, dumplings and chicken with broccoli. Staff are nice and the service is speedy, would recommend you give it a try. read more

Never had a bad Meal from here always fresh and good! I perfer here when having takeout. It hits the spot. Soup is good when I'm sick.

Ordered Genetal Tso's chicken & fried rice. This used to be great food, now it is not. Chicken was not enjoyable, rice was hard. The food is not as it was. You lost a long time customer. I will be ordering from FU HAU from now on. read more

I wish they had better moo shu pancakes. The moo shu itself was decent but the pancakes were thick like tortillas.

Ordered take out (2 meals plus Crab Wontons). Sweet and sour chicken looked like plain chicken nuggets that had been microwaved (not cooked in any sauce). Soggy, tasteless and awful. Garlic scallops were rubbery and tasted old. Called the Manager and she said she would have to "talk to her Boss and would call back". Never called back. Horrible food, horrible Management. Will never be back. read more

This is the best Chinese food in the area, for sure. Tasty, large portions, great prices, and super easy to order pickup through the DDash app. Mistakes on special requests are rare, and normally things are prepared perfectly. Lots of vegan options. Their pickup window service is both safe and efficient. Must Try: Broccoli w/ Garlic Sauce Miso Soup read more

I had the seafood, maybe other options are prepared better. The seafood comes in a weird clear white thick sauce and makes everything soggy... the sauce does not taste good. read more

God awful Almond Boneless Chicken. I doubt they even realized what a grease ball it was. Too bad . Was my favorite since before it was called Hunan. read more

I ordered extra spicy shrimp fried rice and crab Rangoon. The food tasted great with good portion. The staff was friendly.

Food is excellent. Large portions. Service is excellent. Order ready quickly. Carry out only, but worth it!!

Being a lover of Chinese food myself, this is one place I can go and always count on the food being great. The Buffett certainly never disappoints! read more

After a long first day at the nearby Great Wolf Lodge, our family was worn out and a bit undecided on what to do for dinner. The general consensus was split between Chinese food and sushi. We found this place did both and away we went! There is a very large Chinese buffet and I contemplated going with that for dinner. That is, until I saw one of the servers douse each tray on the buffet with hot water - an old buffet trick to keep things looking "lively" and not dried out. So, after that not so subtle maneuver, I went with the menu. I went with the honey chicken - don't ask me why as I hardly ever order a deep fried Chinese entree. But, it looked like a mostly Americanized Chinese restaurant and this was the best I could come up with. My father-in-law went with the sushi menu and went with gyoza to start and California roll. That came out quickly compared to the Chinese entrees that were ordered for our table which included pork lo mein and chicken chow mein. Each entree came with a choice of soup (egg drop or hot and sour) and crab rangoon or egg roll - each came straight from the buffet. You can try to run from the buffet, but you cannot hide! The hot and sour soup was OK, the crab rangoon had a hint of crab to it so there was that in Hunan's favor. My wife went with the egg roll and it was basically limp cabbage deep fried in the thickest wrapper I've ever seen. For the most part, our appetites were sated and we were refreshed for more waterpark fun. The price was right and we were in and out in pretty good time. This would not be a return trip when we get to Traverse City again. read more

The pictures lie. This is a rundown strip mall Chinese buffet that sells brick-a-brack at the register too. They do not have wonton soup or any wontons on the buffet. I was hoping that maybe they were of good quality so not offered on the bar, but unfortunately my assumption was completely wrong. I ordered a cup of wonton soup. They brought it out in a to go order. ??! We were seated at the table. The wonton soup was awful. The broth was flavorless, like bin water and the dumpling itself had little to no filling and what was the filling was unrecognizable. The hot and sour had a serious layer or gummed film across it but the egg drop soup was edible. The honey chicken is popular so they keep refilling that dish. The string beans were coated in a sticky BLACK oil that wasn't quite soy sauce but wasn't horrible either. I think it was supposed to be oyster sauce. The Thai chicken was flavorful and had a good heat to the spice. They had the typical crab ragoon, egg rolls and stir fry dishes, but I only tried what I listed. They rest didn't look edible. They didn't clear plates or refill drinks, but the wait staff hung around, and watched like hawks, and loudly chatter and rough house with each other on the other side of the restaurant. They do have one kid that is dedicated to clearing tables but only after people leave, that was clear. I had to flag someone down and ask for more water and coke and to order a cup of soup. Don't be fooled by the offer of sushi on the buffet - it's old, dried out and all cooked. Nothing raw. The tempura coating hid the filling but thankfully the dried out stale tempura was hard as a rock and therefore saved me from whatever was lurking inside before it was too late. I probably should have not started with attempting sushi first and took a good look at the bar. That would have given a clue to not even try it. If you visit, stick to the menu, unless you have a stomach of steal and don't mind bad Chinese food. There is evidence enough that the food would be good if fresh. This selection on a Thursday night at 7:30pm was not. read more

Excellent food with great flavor! We really enjoy take-out from Hunan. Our favorites are General Tso's Chicken, Hunan Chicken and Shrimp Lo Mein Noodles. The food here is on par with some of the best Chinese restaurants in the Detroit area and the best (by far) that we have found in Traverse City. We like a lot of flavor and they do a nice job. Portions are good size and prices reasonable, too. Highly recommend! read more

Tasty General Tso's chicken with nice-sized portion. Eggroll was decent. Sauce was a touch heavy was still tasty. Standard American Chinese food menu with pretty much everything you would expect. You can barely get inside the door to get your food, as the rest of the place is closed off. Dark and creepy with no one there and the lights off. read more

Got the orange chicken Sunday woke up Monday sick as a dog feel a little better today never been this sick in my life

I was very disappointed by this place. Their eggrolls don't have any seasoning, so they taste like deep fried cabbage in a wonton wrapper. Their peanut butter chicken was gloomy and gross. Very sad. read more

I'd probably give it a 3 1/2 if that was an option. I had the buffet with some friends who were in from out of town. They'd been working at camp and needed ethnic food in a bad way (that and to visit civilization). We all had the buffet. Onto the food, dishes I tried as follows: Green beans, looked ick but tasted good. Sesame chicken- yum. Teriyaki chicken- too tough fried donut- a win crabmeat and cream cheese wontons w/ sweet & sour sauce, that's a hell yeah. salad- ah, uninspiring iceberg but suitable given the environment. Some sort of shrimp dish- not bad. Curry dish w/ chicken- highly recommend. Fried rice & reg. rice were good. Didn't try any noodles this trip. Bring your appetite, a pretty good deal at about 12.45 p/p with non-alcoholic beverage of some kind (soda, lemonade etc). Please note: I know people who are deathly afraid of buffet & others who swear by it. I think this one was probably about average, but generally I am more pro-made to order chinese. I will need to sample the other chinese offerings in T.C., I've just been wary and pretty much visited this one because my friends were in from out of town and it's what they had been craving. read more

I'd give it 3.5. It was a little better than just 3. The people were really nice. And after we were done with a plate, it was promptly whisked away so we didn't have a pile up. I'm not a huge buffet person in the first place, but we wanted chinese and were hungry so we decided to try it. It's kinda tucked away, we passed it a few times. Some of my chicken dishes tasted a bit shrimpy, and I'm not a seafood person (I know, I'm the worst asian ever). The taste was alright. read more

Not a place for me.....for sushi I would prefer Panda North over Hunan. Well most of people go to this place for buffet these days anyway. It took almost 20mins for sushi to come out and waitress was totally not in a mood to care for her customers. She took my plate Right after I finished my last piece of sushi and I am not a slow eater to say at least. :( Perhaps she had a bad day but anyhow Hunan is an okay chinese food but I would not return for bad service [already tried twice....better move on to other restaurants] read more

I went here with a good friend, while I had a sore throat, and I just wanted some soup. And soup did I get! The hot and sour soup is delicious, has lots of big chunks of tofu, a great flavor, and just enough kick. I also had a mexican roll from their sushi menu, it was fresh and flavorful with a spice that sneaks up from behind and tickles your throat. And an order of my staple food at any asian place, Edamame. The Edamame was just ok, it was overcooked, so the pods were smooshy and not firm, they weren't salted, but whatever. Two outta three ain't bad. The tea was hot and plentiful, and my dining companion had the buffet, and smuggled me back a piece of bacon wrapped pineapple on a stick, which was incredible, even though he had dredged it in satay sauce. I'd definitely go back! read more

I'm tempted to give them less stars due to poor service but the food was decent. If nothing else, very large portions. I highly recommend sharing an order with someone if you get supper carry out. The young Asian gal who took our order was borderline rude and impatient. Even though the menu clearly stated that smaller portions of each item were available, we were told that you could only do that at lunch time. So we ended up with more food (and expense) than we wanted. The almond chicken was much different than we've had elsewhere but the fried and battered chicken "strips" in the meal worked. The Hunan chicken was loaded with vegetables; especially generous chunks of fresh broccolli. read more

Went here last night 3/21/19. Buffet was horrible. Food was old and cold. Sushi was dried out. Pans were burnt in the steam table. Service was terrible. Will not be coming back here. Had to asc k to cook noodles cause the pan was black. read more

I'll be honest. I am a sucker for Chinese Buffet. Especially when it is actually good. This place did not disappoint. The Ragoons were really good. The chicken on a stick was great, and really everything I had was pretty tasty. I went there and ate at this place because I didn't have a lot of time to go to a restaurant, and order something and wait for it. I had about 15 minutes, and I went in and rocked this place. I had 2 plates stuffed pretty full of a wide assortment of items, and it was all great. When in the area, and crunched for time, I will be back at this restaurant! read more

We ordered food to go. It was really good! Chinese food is always hit or miss but this one was definitely a hit. We ordered almond chicken, sweet and sour chicken, pepper steak, chicken fried rice and sushi. Everything was above and beyond what we expected. There was enough food for 4 big eaters and probably about half left over. Good value too. Will order from here again. read more

I want to say their food is always excellent when we are in the mood for Chinese. Today they went above and beyond with their customer service. I ordered the house special and when I got home I saw it had broccoli in it. I'm allergic to it so I called them up explained the situation to them. They made me another meal without the broccoli in it for free. It was definitely delicious. Thank Hunan for the great customer service. read more

First and last time here. Everything tastes bland and over cooked. Fried rice was over cooked and dried out. It was just bad. It won't kill you but it may kill you to pay for that food. read more

Disappointing. Arrived for lunch right at the lunch hour. Consistent traffic yet should have in no way been overwhelming. Impersonal staff. Buffet was ok. Nothing was hot. More room temperature. Crab Rangoon was good. Cashew chicken flavorless. Bourbon chicken...don't. Lots over cooked. The sushi tasted like it came out of a box. Extremely dirty and smelly bathroom. I left smelling like grease. read more

This Chinese buffet is the best I know of currently in TC, but by a slim margin. (Chinafair nearby is a very close second). #1 Atmosphere if you enjoy quiet dinner conversation without a lot of commotion going on. They play soft calming Chinese music all the time. Staff is very friendly and have often just recently come from China, few speak fluent English, which for me adds to the charm having been to small by-the-way restaurants in mainland China. The real treat at this location is the Sushi. Reasonably priced, it slides nicely into the 2nd best sushi in TC position, in my book. The meats are always very fresh. The selection is adequate. The rice is perfect. Flavors are wonderful. I recommend the B-53 and the Mexican Roll for a little spice. Lobster roll for some rich flavor. California roll for eating light. Minor issues I have with this location: 1. Consistency. Sometimes the rolls are so big they are hard to eat. Sometimes they are small. Sometimes the spicy rolls are tame, sometimes they will scorch your tongue. Sometimes they remember who ordered what, sometimes they plop all your rolls in the center of the table for a free for all. 2. Furniture. I don't recommend sitting in a booth. They are long passed being worn out and need replacing. But don't let those things deter you. They serve great food and work hard to create a fair priced dining experience. read more

We have Been going here every Saturday for nearly five years. The food is consistently delicious, the staff is wonderful and accommodating and we just love this place! Both the buffet and menu prices are very reasonable, easy parking and plenty if it! read more

Went there 06/01/19. Food was so bad I got sick from it. I should have known from just looking at it but, I was hungry and figured it wouldn't be that bad. I was wrong. The stuff at the buffet was old and cold. Some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I would not recommend this restaurant ever! They need to close or get better food. read more

Nice buffet, reasonably priced, good selection This place is hidden behind a Taco Bell. With the price, and the service was very good as well. read more

A chinese buffet that is clean, isn't entirely full of breaded and fried food (actually a nice variety of chinese food), and includes some sushi that is fresh. It's not a sushi restaurant, so don't expect Red Ginger, but I think Hunan does a nice job. Don't confuse Hunan with the two other Chinese restaurants nearby, which I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. Has a loyal following of "regulars" who live here. That says a lot. read more

Terrific takeout. I'm not enamoured of the restaurant's ambience; apparently neither are most people, since almost nobody ever seems to be eating there. Like most of the Chinese food places in town, this place relies on its takeout business - and rightly so. My son loves the General Tso's Chicken; I'm partial to the beef with broccoli. Their spring rolls are light and delicious, as well. read more

We had to go support a friend one evening and our 14 year old daughter and her friends were coming home after we left....so we left her a $50 bill and instructions to order dinner for themselves. We thought they'd get pizza but my daughter likes TC Hunan so they decided to order that, delivered. She called and placed her order for delivery and they said "ok bye" and hung up. They never asked for the address? She called us and said "what do I do?", we said "call them back and make sure they understand that it's delivery and not takeout and make sure they have the address". She called back twice and each time she starts to talk, they hang up on her both times. She finally calls back again and this time they get the address from her. Well, they deliver the food and she hands him the $50 (because it's all she has...) she waits for change and he hands her back $8 and rudely says....'"what about my tip?" She's kind of confused at this point, this is her first time handling getting food delivered....he never really gave her a total but all they got was 2 orders of sesame chicken combos?? so she's flustered and he's pressuring her for a tip, so she hands him $5 and closes the door. He took advantage of a kid....because she was a kid! No way in the world did 2 orders of sesame chicken combos delivered cost $42.....no way.....and then he forces her to give him even more money?!?!? My husband called and pointed out to the "manager" that their driver took more money that was needed and that they would not be receiving any more of our business in the future, but they had no response. If they had any business sense at all they have our number, they have our address, they would just find a way to give the money back they flat out stole....but no...nothing. read more

What a dump!!! Food was terrible and food choice was limited. I found myself apologizing to my family and guest for coming to this pig hole. Please avoid this this place, but I did enjoy the canned chocolate pudding. Yuk !!! read more

Best chinese buffet in town. Always a variety of chicken, whether sesame, honey or peppered. Also the crab rangoon are really good and they make them by hand-you often see them doing it. It's set back from the street and the address on the map is incorrect, it's just behind taco bell near south airport road and barlow. I'm not a huge soup fan, but others like the egg-drop. read more

It's amazing for a Chinese buffet! The chicken curry is the best here in my opinion.
