Just found my new go-to dim sum spot! Hunan Manor just had their soft re-opening with new chefs for their new dim sum brunch service! You can immediately taste the difference - everything is freshly made and flavorful. My favorite dim sum dish is the shrimp rice noodle rolls and these were a standout here - the noodles were thin but still soft, with a smooth texture that wasn't sticky or gummy. My next favorite is the pineapple custard bun and these were yummy - the top had that nice, thick, crunchy crust you want (like a cookie) with a rich custard inside! They also had bubble tea and fruit teas, which are a nice and refreshing addition to dim sum! They have ample free parking and their entryway lives up to its name - really transports you to an ancient Chinese manor! The space is also large and open, with many different sections - would be great for hosting events, family gatherings, or big group meals while still having some privacy. Service was warm and attentive even during their soft opening, and the whole experience feels like a big step up for Hunan Manor. The owners also stopped by to check in to get feedback. If you're a dim sum lover or curious about the revamped menu, this is definitely worth a visit - Columbia finally has a standout dim sum brunch and Chinese spot!

We went the day after Christmas and I was expecting it to be packed. We went early to avoid the rush, but there wasn't really any rush that we saw. The food is great there and I never go there as often as I want to. The staff was great just like it always is. I brought several people there for the first time and we got spring rolls for the table. With the rolls they delivered some horseradish mustard. I like hot mustard but that stuff has always been strong. I warned the people at the table that it was strong, but every person that tried it wished that's they had listened to me more about the horseradish mustard.

Once you get past the kitsch that fills Hunan's entry and bar area, you're greeted by the lovely aroma of ginger, spice and teriyaki. The cuisine is the "classic" American take on Chinese food, e.g. sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, spicy cucumbers, etc. The service is a bit slow, but the freshness and quality of the food makes the wait worth while. Cheers!

Have not been here for 10 years! It was good! Stopped in on a whim with friends after Happy Hour in Columbia for the Holidays. It was a Tuesday night and we were seated quickly. Plenty of hot tea which is very nice. I am a shrimp toast aficionado and there toast is a 7.5 out of 10 which is pretty good. All of our entrees were on point save for the General Tso's chicken which was a bit over-cooked -> not terribly but overcooked all the same. The service was polite but not overly friendly. The portions were humongous like most Chinese establishments. Three of our four took food home. Finally the pricing, especially for Columbia in Howard County is very fair for what you are served. We are seldom in this area but would happily return if we are.

Great spot for Chinese food - especially if you want to eat family style. The menu isn't as extensive as it once was, but it still has a lot of tasty, authentic options (along with many of the Americanized classics). It's a great spot for larger parties too. You can fit 12 people at their larger round tables.
