A great deal at the 'Great Hunan'

Nestled between a sandwich shop and a bar on Third Street, Great Hunan’s front door is easy to miss. But don’t let the humble appearance keep you away.

Once you find the door, you enter a cozy space with a coffee-shop-meets-Chinese-restaurant atmosphere. Cafeteria tables, dim lighting, Chinese-inspired artwork and a large fish tank decorate the one-room eating establishment.

While the ambiance may not impress you, the food, price, and portion size will. On a recent visit to Great Hunan’s, I ordered the Cashew Shrimp dish lunch special. Along with authentic egg drop soup, egg roll and drink, the price tag was a mere $6.25. Despite the reasonable price and the food’s pleasing taste, they didn’t skimp on the portion size or the service. The moment I finished my soup, the entrée was on its way to my table, and I even filled two take-out boxes with leftovers for later.

Specializing in Chinese food to eat-in or carry-out, the Great Hunan is open seven days-a-week. It is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and stays open a half hour later on Friday and Saturday, but closes at 8 p.m. on Sunday. All meals include a choice of soup; egg roll, chicken wings, or crab rangoon; and a beverage. Lunch specials, available from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., are $6.25. Dinner specials, available from 3:30 p.m. to close, cost $7.98. Delivery is free with a $30 order.
