Hunan House - Centralia

The restaurant has nearly 4 stars, so I decided to give it a try as I was passing by. Unfortunately, it was a mistake. I specifically asked the staff multiple times if the General Tso's chicken would be crispy, flavorful, and spicy, but it turned out to be soggy and tasteless. The crab rangoon did not have any crab in it, only cream cheese. The sweet and sour chicken was cooked fine, but the sauce was overly sweet. The beef lo mein was also bland, with mushy beef. The fried rice tasted old and the chicken wings lacked flavor. Overall, the meal was a disappointment and not worth the $50 spent. It was one of the worst Chinese food experiences I have had and I will not be returning.

I’m very disappointed to share my experience. I’ve been going to this restaurant for as long as I can remember, and even after moving away, I always made a point to visit with friends when I came back. Unfortunately, my last visit was unacceptable; everything was filthy, and I wasted $80 on a meal that was far from enjoyable. I later learned that the place is under new ownership, and locals have stopped eating there for the same reasons. It’s a shame to lose a childhood favorite, and I’m truly upset about it.

This dish seems like it was prepared by someone who lacks experience in cooking Chinese cuisine. Even La Choy's sauce is an improvement over this. I can't believe I spent $50 on such a disappointing meal.

My husband and I have eaten here several times, and the food has always been delicious! I consistently order the plain Lo Mein, and the portions are generous—I always have enough to take home for dinner. The service has been excellent as well, with timely drink refills. The lunch specials offer great value too. I really enjoy dining here!

The food is delicious, the service is quick, and the prices are affordable. They offer takeout and delivery options only. That's all there is to say!
