Hunan L'rose - Odenton

Was going to drive up today until I saw all the negative reviews in the last couple of months. New Management has done a number on one of my favorites I see. What a shame! I'll pass!

I've tried their regular food and was not impressed. Prices are fair. The only thing I get here is the Hot and Sour Soup. Best one around town. My coworker likes their chicken wings. The interior is a little dark and outdated but decent. I haven't tried dining in; I order carryout 100% of the time.

Shrimp spring rolls were extremely salty, and French fries were under cooked, had to put on the oven to cook more.

I love this restaurant, but I would not order delivery. For some reason, carry out/delivery is terrible compared to dine in. One time I ordered orange chicken for take out and the chef forgot to fry it. It was ... interesting. However, when you eat in, it's a much better experience. The drinks are fairly priced and good. I have never had a problem with the food quality. And of course the complimentary tea, hot towels and orange ice cream make you feel like you are in an old movie. I'm not sure why the delivery service is so terrible is but it's a common occurrence. It seems that most bad reviews across the internet are for delivery which proves my theory. Therefore I can only give it 3 stars since takeout is a staple of Chinese restaurants. Takeout: 2/5 In restaurant: 4/5

Nothing special about their food. Very typical Chinese. Still my go to when I'm craving Chinese food.
