Hunan Coventry - Cleveland Heights

I’ve never been let down by Hunan Coventry. Even though I moved away a decade ago, I came back to Cleveland Heights for a brief visit today. I had the Mu Chu Chicken, while my friend tried the Tofu with Cashew vegetable dish. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals—delicious and generous portions! The service was prompt and professional, and the waitress was friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely come back to dine here if I get the chance.

My friend and I chose to dine at Hunan on Saturday night, driven by a sense of nostalgia. This restaurant was once a premier and elegant spot on Coventry in the 90s and early 2000s. While it doesn't quite match the quality or experience of those days, we still enjoyed our meal. The service was outstanding, just as we remembered. I ordered Shrimp Chips, a Shrimp Fried Egg Roll, and Singapore Chow Mei Fun. Each dish was delicious, and the portions were generous enough to provide leftovers for the following day.

I ordered Hot and Sour soup, Twice-Cooked Pork, and a glass of Shiraz, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The wine was unpalatable; I couldn't even finish my small glass. The Twice-Cooked Pork was excessively salty and the meat was very tough. I would suggest choosing a different restaurant for Chinese food.

Horrible. Ordered pad thai and it was red from (apparently ketchup). Incredibly bland. Empress chicken was horrible too. This wasn't Asian food. It was nursing home quality. No spices (and I'm not just talking about heat). The empress chi ken also gave me food poisoning. I didn't know the original owners had sold the place.

The food was not cheap at $30 for two entrees. The portions were large however. The ham egg foo young had a thick gravy that wasn't bad. The egg foo young was super hot which made it better, but it was still extremely average without a remarkable flavor. Just sort of meh. The honey walnut shrimp was okay. It was a sweet nectar thick sauce with probably 8-10 small shrimp and a bunch of cheap filler veggies like water chestnut and snow peas and crinkle cut carrots. Meh.
