A Touch of Hunan

This restaurant is a tiny building on the side of this busy road. It doesn’t really catch your eye. You’ve probably driven past it 100 times and never knew of its existence. It looks like a clean place, but there don’t seem to be any people that actually dine in. The lights are turned off in the dining area and there’s a nice, cozy little bar to the right of the entrance. Due to the lack of diners, they probably aren’t always prepared to be making amazing Chinese food. This is just my opinion, but they’re probably just struggling to stay in business. The three people that were at the bar when I entered to do a take out were all regulars.
The time it took to make the food wasn’t that spectacular but wasn’t TOO bad. It took probably 20 – 30 minutes for 4 dishes. With the lack of customers though, I had expected the wait to be a bit quicker but nothing to complain much about it. The service was okay. (I’ve experienced worse service at Chinese restaurants.) I was greeted and helped promptly after I walked in.
I ordered fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, and some other stir fried dish, whose name escapes me at the moment. But I’d have to say, this was probably the most disappointing experience with Chinese food. All the dishes I ordered tasted the same! It’s as if the chef/​cook decided to pour an overwhelming amount of the same soy sauce and spice into each dish. The orange chicken tasted nothing like orange chicken.
Usually, the family always never let leftover Chinese food gone to waste. This was the first. We ended up just dumping what we couldn’t finish. I’m sorry to say but my family and I won’t be dining in or taking out from here again.
