Hunan Coventry - Cleveland Heights

I never get disappointed when eating at Hunan Coventry. I moved out of town 10 years ago and I returned to Cleveland Heights for a short visit today. I had Mu Chu Chicken and my friend a vegetable dish Tofu with Cashew,. We both loved our food: great lunch and large portion! Service was professional and fast and the waitress was kind and attentive. I will return to eat here if an opportunity rises.

My friend and I decided to go to Hunan Saturday night for dinner simply due to the nostalgia. This used to be such a standout elegant restaurant on Coventry in the 90s/early 2000s. Unfortunately, it's not the same quality or experience as it used to be but we still enjoyed our dinner. Also, the excellent service is still the same. I ordered Shrimp Chips, Shrimp Fried Egg Roll, and the Singapore Chow Mei Fun. All dishes were delicious and the portions were big enough for leftovers the next day.

Lunch: Hot and Sour soup, Twice-cooked pork, and a glass of Shiraz- pretty terrible. The first time I couldn't;t finish my little glass of wine in my life. Terrible taste. The Twice cooked pork was extremely salty and the meat was tough. I would recommend making another selection to get 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.
