12 reviews for Hunan Coventry
This is the best Chinese place in the known universe. Well, at least my known universe, but maybe I am biased because I grew up eating this stuff on at least a weekly basis.
The spring rolls and sesame chicken are easily the best I have had. And I could eat the pot stickers till I fell over. No other place serves up a nice doughy pot sticker that is crispy on the outside with such a delicious special sauce.
Their take out service is top notch. I have easily ordered from this place 200 times and they have never gotten a thing wrong. You never have to wait more than 25 min, and everything is always fresh. Why does no other Chinese place serve the sauce on the side so that your fried chicken products don't get soggy on the ride home?
San Francisco has nothing that compares. Maybe I should move back to Cleveland?
Consistently decent 1980s style Chinese food. Noodles good, egg rolls good, most dishes we've had there were without much flaw. Wait staff relatively friendly. Good standby if your need an Asian fix.
Americanized "Chinese" food, very greasy and with a semi fake interior, good for people who are not that picky when it comes to asian food or who like General Tao Chicken (hate to break it to you, but does not exist in China) or who can't tell the difference, they also give fortune cokies at the end which is always a bonus (however not Asian) but not worth it, semi over-priced.
I would rather go to a hole in the wall that serves authentic Chinese food then go to this place, fits right in with Coventry Street
am i halucinating?? seriously cannot believe that everyone hasn't rated hunan with 5 stars. i'm shocked. in my opinion: THE best chinese on earth.
my boyfriend teases me that i only love hunan this much because as a little girl growing up in cleveland heights it was a family tradition to eat hunan on sunday nights. we had the phone number on speed dial (remember speed dial?!) and by about 8 years old, i knew the number by heart. so, my boyfriend thinks it's a sentimental thing. i think it's an amazing food thing. regardless, i crave hunan every sunday and wish they would deliver to chicago.
best things on the menu:
- spring rolls (i could eat them all day every day - they are fresh made, light, crispy, and delish. and the homemade sweet&sour sauce/spicy mustard i could eat with a spoon)
- sesame chicken (can't get enough -- sauce served on the side so it's fresh and not soggy)
- szechwan green beans (my mom's favorite - perfectly spicy and surprisingly hearty for a veggie dish)
- kung pao chicken (if you like spicy, this is for you)
- general tso's chicken (not for dieters, but great for a splurge)
- SPRING ROLLS!!!!! can't say it enough.
ok. i'm drooling. gotta stop.
I have been to Hunan Coventry several times. It's one of the nicer Chinese places I've been too in Cleveland. The restaurant atmosphere is casual but classy and there is parking garage across the street. It's Coventry though so you're experience may very.
I am a fan of the Cashew Chicken. I am not a fan of their Moo goo Gai pan. I've always found their portions generous and their prices reasonable.
I will go there there again the next time I come back into town.
Don't really like this place. I hear about it from people, it's always been there. I see people eating there, but I still don't really like this place.
The pot stickers were a weird consistency and the dish was kinda on the bland side. Personally if you're in the mood for something similar I would completely and highly recommend The Mint Cafe nearly directly across the street. Juss sayin.
Yup, not very authentic, just so-so food. Not very impressed. Some of my friends really like this place, but they are also the friends that rave about PF Changs. So... I guess if you like Americanized Chinese food and don't dare venture out to the Asia Plaza area, it's the place for you.
Hands down the best General Tso's chicken I have ever eaten. The honey lemon chicken is also incredible. I've been here many times but never have I had the willpower to venture beyond those two powerhouse dishes. I've had tastes of other people's platters, though, and they were also delicious.
Another plus: this is a really nice restaurant. Not one of those this-chair-is-kinda-wobbly-and-this-silverware-loo ks-kinda-dirty Chinese places. It's also reasonably priced and the portions are large.
One caveat: the amount of rice you get with your meal seems to be somewhat random but depends in part on how many people are at your table. The more people you have, the less rice you tend to get per person. Once we asked for a second serving of rice and got charged a ridiculous amount of money for it. I don't remember how much it was, but I remember that it was enough that we asked the waiter about it when we got our check.
It has been two years since I was last at Hunan Coventry, the food was very good and I have yet to find its equal elsewhere in Clevleand.
More importantly, Hunan Coventry helps to form what I have dubbed the Asian Triumvirate on Coventry. Seriously, Hunan + Mint Cafe + Pacific East makes Coventry a great restaurant destination which this depressed economy really needs.
Hopefully we will see a few more great restaurants open up in the empty spaces on Coventry.
Jason is correct, this is the best Chinese food in Cleveland. It is the Nicey-Nice Chinese restaurant in Cleveland. The kind of place you take your favorite Oberlin professor to celebrate something cool happening in one of our lives. I also had many dates here that worked out well and they do pretty decent Hunan food for a city with not a huge Asian community. You can probably do better in coastal cities but if you are jonesing for some decent Chinese food in the Plum City, you better head to Hunan Coventry.
This is the best Chinese food in Cleveland. Can you hear me? **THIS** **IS** **THE** **BEST** **CHINESE** **FOOD** **IN** **CLEVELAND**. This place is an institution. If they ever close, I will kill myself. THIS IS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN CLEVELAND. Honey lemon chicken. Szechuan string beans. Moo shoo pork. Incredible pot stickers. Drool. When we lived in New York, every time we came back to Cleveland we would make a point to go here. This restaurant alone was a big reason I was happy to move back to Cleveland. Note: This is one place where a strange anomaly exists--the food may actually be *better* as take-out than when eating in. Chinese comfort food. THIS IS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN CLEVELAND!
The first thing that struck me about this restaurants that it was packed full of caucasian people. The food was tasty and menu was very typical with nothing really genuinely Chinese. The staff was very nice and fast however and the place is very clean. Go here if you want a tasty typical American-Chinese meal, but if you want something more genuine, better stick to China street.
