Hunan Chinese Cuisine - McAlester

Second trip: for lunch specials and one side egg rolls for 17.35. Lunch specialities come here with an egg roll. Generally Tso and Chicken Lowmain. Ordnete orange chicken "Picky " and two egg rolls. He came to about twelve dollars. Was done in ten minutes. People were nice. The chicken wasn't sharp, but it cost oranges. Have fried rice, nice surprise, but it tasted almost like white rice. Even better than the buffet over the street. I'll go.

Mixed review for me. Walking in, it looks like any Chinese restaurant in small town America with a faint hint of cleaning supplies. I got hot and sour soup and it was terrible. There is no other way to put it. It looked like egg drop soup and tasted like egg drop soup with too much soy and a hint of vinegar. It had way too much corn starch and so it had that “snotty” consistency that is common to an over abundance of corn starch. I was prepared to give this restaurant 2*. But then I was pleasantly surprised. I had the pepper steak (lunch size) and I wasn’t expecting much but it tasted good, although the meat was tough. It didn’t look pretty either. The onions and peppers had some crunch to them still. So that part was good. So all in all, not horrible but not great. It’s just an ok place to eat when you’re looking for something to eat while passing through this small town.

Good but not great. The orange chicken was the sweet and sour chicken with orange sauce on it. The soup was good.

Fair food. The items we tried that were marked as spicy, weren't. We got some hot chilis on the side that were also only slightly warm, not spicy. Super long wait times. If possible, on busy night/ weekends, call ahead 30-40 minutes, or so for pick up our dine-in. Due to covid-19, the staff was few and far between. The owner ? ran from the kitchen, to the dining room, back to help with to-go orders. One cashier was taking orders from in-person and phone-in. This won't be a place to re-visit when we're in town.

Drive around and stay for the night, my wife and I were looking for Chinese food. The hotel recommended this place, but with the limited reviews and the friendly sad view to the outside we were a bit tangible. We were not disappointed! Rarely, you will get something marked Spicy at a Chinese food place that is actually spicy. The Kung Pao chicken had deaf my lips for an hour. It was so unique and different and loaded with goodness. The orange chicken also had a slight kick and my wife loved it. The egg drop soup was also a standout. Rich in taste, warm and tasty. It is not the most beautiful place, but the food is excellent and the service / kindness was excellent. We'd be back!
