Ordered my food at 4:35. Was told that it would be ready at 5:10 for pickup. It is now 6:00 and it is still not ready. They keep taking more orders. No regard for the fact that they can’t keep up with the orders they already accepted. Poor service. Not to mention that their waiting area is now crowded with people in the middle of the omicron outbreak. The only bright side- my food was good. They just should have stopped taking orders.
I have been eating at Hunans for over the past 20 years. Whoever the new owners are have totally changed the taste and the quality of the food. They were known for their fried rice with all the veggies. Yesterday the rice had peas and a few onions. The beef and broccoli taste like it was made with a cheap roast. This will be my last visit there.
The absolute best food with the best service. I had a pretty big order with some special instructions, but nothing was missed and everything tasted great. My order was ready the minute I walked in, and they even helped me take it to my car. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you so much! We appreciate you.
I have been a customer of Hunan Coventry for many years. It has Aalways been considered by me to be the best. Last night, my husband and I got take out. It was beyond disappointing. None of the sauces tasted the same as usual, and the vegetable fried rice had no flavor. I will try to take out from there one more time, but it will be quite some time before I do. I hope that the original chef and recipes return.
I have been visiting this restaurant for decades. It changed ownership some years back a the food wasnt the same. However, it is now back to the high standards I remember. Havent visited for several years and had a wonderful meal. Always liked the atmosphere and music. Will be back soon.again soon!Update:Very sad to report that this restaurant has declined significantly over the last several months. The last two times Ive been in they have not been wearing masks until they come up to the counter and twice have received takeout orders with the wrong food and in the last order it was not only the wrong order but they didnt even include the rice. I will not going to be going back. Many great memories from past years but its over for me.
Food quality has declined from what it used to be, which was stellar. Friendly people and good service with market prices. Most customer traffic now appears to be take-out rather than dine-in which is sad to see happen, and may reflect change in interest as well as decline in quality. It appears from the taste of the food that the chefs have changed, and possibly have changed several times. Giving it three stars for sentimental reasons. Hope they can improve.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in Cleveland. Ive been going here for years and the food is great. Its NOT the typical Chinese food you would expect - there are quite a few unique dishes here. I especially recommend the mussels in garlic sauce and white rice to start with.
Weve been going to Hunan Coventry for decades. This is the typical old-school Chinese restaurant that has become scarce these days. Cloth napkins and tablecloth add a nice touch, as does the pot of complimentary tea. Prices are reasonable and food is good. If you actually want to dine at a Chinese restaurant, this is your place.
Extremely friendly and great service! The food is ALWAYS amazing. I always order my fried rice a lil spicy and they get bnb it just right. The portions are perfect for a family and the smaller sizes will still feed two. I only wished they delivered. I am a Cleveland native and on the east or west side for that matter I only have 2 chinese restaurants that I live by and this is one. Very accomadating and relaxed I love love love this restaurant even picky people love there food. Love it!
This place has been a family favorite for decades. Whenever my brother returns to town to visit family, Hunan is always on his list as well. The food is great and the quality is consistent. Unfortunately, or fortunately if you want to eat in, it isnt very busy except around holidays.
First time at Hunan and it was different. I ordered Sesame Chicken and Crab Rangoon and I have to say they need to work on the Crab Rangoon but the Sesame Chicken was amazing. I am use to small chunks of breaded mixed white and dark meat chicken and I always found that gross. Hunan uses all white meat breaded chicken which makes me very happy! I would recommend this restaurant for takeout but as for a sit down restaurant I would not. However this by far is the best Chinese takeout food I have had in Cleveland for under $10
I was a customer and although what happened didnt happen to me I am very upset by this interaction because it could have been me. While waiting for my food a customer came back in with the food he had just purchased (he was leaving as i was coming in) he said his food was under cooked. The first thing the rude cashier said was impossible She then took his food & walked to the kitchen. He said he wanted his money back. She said no, we will recook for you ,he said i just want my money back & the exchange went on for several minutes. The customer asked for a manager or owner she said i just told you that you can not get a refund you can order something else. They would not refund his money. There is no sign saying that there is no refund. SMH, this man was forced to get food after he clearly stated that he did not want it. What happened to the customer is always right? And who wants food from a place that under cooked meat & then argued with you as if she was the actual cook. I will never return there.
We are California transplants, growing up around Chinatown, we know good Chinese cuisine. Hunan, is by far, these best Chinese food in all of N.E. Ohio. Hands down, no questions asked.A bit pricy vs. Other Chinese food in the area, but well worth it. We usually spend around $100 for a party of 4-6.
Hounans is one of the longest-running restaurants on the Coventry strip, and theyve earned their loyal clientele by having excellent food and good service. The restaurant sits comfortably between a good place for the artsy and casual Coventry crowd to grab a bite (there is a Pokemon stop and youre not made uncomfortable if you show up in shorts and a T-shirt) and fancier dining for dates or family outings.Additionally, theyre very good about allergies -- theyll triple check your needs and wont just assume its a casual request. They dont use sesame oil in any of their cooking and can avoid cross-contamination. (I get sick at most chinese restaurants or places that use sesame extensively, but Ive never gotten sick at Hounans).Strangely, their New York Cheesecake is some of the best in town -- they usually serve is still frozen, which some people may not like, but its my absolute favorite, because its like an ice cream cheesecake. Request it not-defrosted!Theyre also wheelchair accessible and family friendly.The only real improvement Id suggest is that the single-stall bathrooms be made gender neutral instead of clearly binary (that makes it more awkward to take ones cross-gender kid or disabled companion in for caregiving, not to mention nonbinary/trans clientele). Why have a label if theres only one stall? That said, theyve never given me grief for going in the wrong one or otherwise treated me as lesser for being nongender conforming.
Ive been coming here since I was a kid and I love coming back. I remember when my son was a baby and we brought him here. An older lady, I assume the owner, held him and took him around the restaurant to see all the other employees. My wife still talks about that til this day.
Worst food ever...ribs were soggy and cold (had to put in the oven); sesame noodles had a big blob of some kind of thick sauce on it with spaghetti noodles - cold and taste-free; egg roll was a spring roll that was cold and greasy. Kung Pao chicken had no taste and only had water chestnuts and peanuts, no other veges and not spicy. Will never go back there.
Hunan Coventry is my favorite Chinese place in Cleveland Heights. They have a clean, and typically quite, restaurant. A friendly and fast staff for dine in. Their food is So good! Best take out around, and its totally worth parking on the Coventry strip to do so. Closed Mondays (unless its Xmas). The House Special Fried Noodles are a favorite ^_^
I love Hunan i been going there for year.. its under new management and the food is not the same any more and im sad about that i have lunch there today i ordered a can pop with my lunch and ask the server to wash the top of the pop please she said NO AND DONT ASK ME WHY I CAN DO IT SO GIVE ME A CUP OF WATER TO DO IT MYSELF WOW
I moved out of the area several years ago and Hunans food is one of the things I miss the most. I am originally from NYC and was lucky enoungh to live in Cleveland Hts for 5 years (had to move for job) where I fell in love with Hunans. I have no family in Cleveland, but I try to find excusses to get back there a couple times of year because I love it there so muchand one must do is Hunans!
Very POOR customer service. Food was so so but the server was super rude. And I had to walk to the desk ask for water and other stuff bc the server never come to my table, not even once Im not kidding (when theres only 3 tables in the restaurant at the time).My experience there was unpleasure and uncomfortable
I frequent Hunan because the fried rice and lo mien noodles, always has the proper smoky flavor of having been cooked in a WOK. But, I had the rib app and they were so tough, I tossed them. Now today, weeks later, I had the pork egg foo young and the pork is clearly left over spare ribs. Tough-sweet meat does not belong in savory egg foo young. DO NOT TRUST the pork dishes.

2022-07-02My friend and I have been to Hunan Coventry several times. Each time we are greeted by friendly staff. The food is awesome and, the kicker for me, are the cloth tablecloths and napkins. Also, being a vegan is no problem for me. The menu is loaded with vegan options. I highly recommend a visit!!!

2022-06-03Bummer. Different ownership and you can taste the difference. I ordered w/ UberEats and everything came fine on their end. The food was delivered hot with the correct items. Unfortunately the food was not good. The vegetables in my dish tasted bitter (sour-like) as well as the sauce. Wonton Soup was good but that’s about it. I’m sure I will give them another chance and credit this to an off night… one very off night.Response to owner: my taste is just fine, thanks! You had a bad night, it happens. I will continue to come back and support.

2022-06-25My family has been ordering from Hunan for 30 years. Im incredibly disappointed that the new management has completely changed every recipe and is now serving generic, fast food Chinese. Kung Pao chicken is no longer small diced, but in huge chunks and is half filler green pepper (which was never even a part of the old recipe). Sweet and sour chicken, lo mein, and fried rice were totally dried out and clearly not fresh. Beef with snow pea pods was 75% pea pods and carrots.Management: Please go back to the old recipes! Hunan was a Cleveland Heights institution with standout food! I cannot fathom why you would change everything. You may be saving money on food costs, but it wont matter when you lose all your customers. Maybe listen to all the negative reviews from your once loyal customer base instead of writing snide responses--its a bad look.

2022-06-02Man, has this place changed. Portions are great but food taste and quality is worse than frozen dinners. Breaded chicken was soggy, noodles were cold and mushy, dumplings in wonton soup were disintegrated from sitting in the broth for way too long. Bleh.

2021-12-05We had a very enjoyable dinner. The food was well prepared, the prices reasonable, and the service, very good. We also ordered some take out for the next day…and we had the best pot stickers we’ve ever had in the Cleveland area. Looking forward to our next visit.
