Hunan Spring

Excellent customer service, very nice people. Great at honoring special requests like extra sauce or sending plates, without being asked, when I mentioned I was away from home. This is classic Chinese-American style so there are a lot of deep fried foods, sweet sauces, etc. But if you want to eat lighter, they do have steamed entrees and brown rice. My favorites are the pork dumplings, shrimp toast, egg foo young, beef with scallions, lemon chicken, sweet and sour chicken, curry chicken and brown rice. Pretty much everything on the menu is good. I've been a customer for 12 years so they are very consistent.They rarely have ever made a mistake or disappointed in over a decade.

Ive lived in Evanston for over a year now and thought it was time to give this place a try. I stopped in at lunch and ordered their roast pork chow mein lunch special. To say it was horrible would be an understatement, it was composed of mostly mushy bland "fried rice" with about a scoop of chow mein, all wedged into a small foil container. While eating it I found a few random strands of noodles in my dish, and since this dish doesn't have noodles in it...... where did they come from? Im assuming this food was pre-made judging from the taste and consistency, much like steam table food. They majority of this food went straight into the garbage, a complete waste of money. And to add insult to injury, not even a thank you when I paid for my food, or it was handed to me. Take a look at the photos, it even looks nasty.

When I lived in Chicago, this was a staple of my diet. It's nice to see the food is still amazing. I highly recommend the Sesame Chicken. It's still the best I've ever had. On a side note, be careful in the parking lot. People are out begging for money and will literally come up to your car and knock on your window to ask. Stay classy Chicago.
