Hunan Diner

The Chicken Fried Rice here is amazing - perfectly cooked, and the chicken bits actually look and taste like chicken!  This is the only Chinese restaurant I would go back to, as I am not much of a fan of that cuisine.  Their General Tso's is pretty darn good, too, with a great sweet sauce with the fried niblets of the chicken.  Alan, the owner, is knee-slapping hilarious, and he's had this restaurant for years.  The locals definitely hit this place up (compared to the other Chinese restaurants in the area); the food here is consistent, and service is great.

The waitress at another restaurant in town suggested Hunan Diner when I asked if there was any place to get good Chinese food locally. The small restaurant has a full bar and serves excellent Chinese food cooked to order. Portions are large, service is good, and prices are reasonable.

I visited here last week for the first time since moving to Colonial Beach a little over a month ago. The egg rolls are absolutely AMAZING. They are fresh and crispy and huge! Nothing like I've ever had before. (We ended up buying 5 of them for just the 2 of us!) We had the lo mein and the general tso's which were both delicious and bountiful. My only complaint was that our waitress didn't comprehend my order, twice. I ordered chicken lo mein and she brought me shrimp lo mein, which was fine, simple mistake. I remembered there was "combination lo mein" on the menu which included chicken, shrimp and pork all for the same price as the others so I specifically said THREE TIMES (bc it didn't seem like she was absorbing what I was saying) for her to leave the shrimp in bc I liked shrimp and there was no need to waste food and just to have the chef add chicken and pork. What did she bring back? Chicken lo mein. I didn't say anything but it really annoys me when 1.food is wasted for no reason and 2. I'm not listened to by someone who is paid for that very reason. Anyway, delicious food- would recommend to everyone.
