CHINESE: HUNAN GARDEN VS. EMPIRE CARRYOUT. (Also includes HOUSE OF CHOU)

Well, we all love our Chinese, but which one to go to? Well in this post we will go over the price, service and overall food quality!

Hunan Garden
General Tso's Chicken
This meal is delicious, definitley the best general Tso's Chicken in town. The chicken is of very good quality, but for the price it is more expensive.

I asked for white rice they accidently gave me fried rice, while their fried rice is good, this is bad service!

A Recomendation: GET THE DOUGHNUTS, they are amazing! They are always warm and super yummy!

So the food quality is good but a little on the pricey side!

The service, well I always seamed to get priced more then on the menu, I understand there is a delivery charge but it still does not always add up.

Another important factor is that THEY ALWAYS FORGET THE FORTUNE COOKIE! You can not call your food chinese if there is no cookie, I used to get the cookies last summer but now they just stopped giving them to me! HOW RUDE!


Empire Carryout
Well I did get the same thing i got at Hunan Garden, I felt why not compare the both, plus it is really one of my favorite entrees.
General Tso's Chicken
Alright, the chicken is definitely not as good it is more crunchy and breaded.

The Price is better and better service!

They also remembered to give me a fortune cookie! Definitely a Plus.

Who Wins?
HUNAN GARDEN, while the service is worse, and this definitly does not make it good, the food was for sure better, but then EMPIRE CARRYOUT wins on the SERVICE SIDE and they gave a fortune cookie.

SO Who Really Wins?
Neither, these two restaurants need to work on them selves. I am still not fully satisfied with my Chinese food here in Lakeridge.


BONUS
HOUSE OF CHOU
Back in December, my friend and I went to this fine restaurant, while every did come here back in the day, now service is not so good. They charge you for refills of your soda, but dont charge people of different ethnicity, by ethnicity I think you know what it that is. They also have this really cool thing on their kids menu, with the chicken that u cook over the fire of a coconut, its really COOL! The food is very decent though just not that good of service as it used to be.
Which is why we diddnt compare it with the other two.


Gotta love the Chinese Food.

  1. Hunnan Garden is yummier. You know what is the worst one!? the Panda one by tacketts! oh my goodness it is TERRIBLE!
    I agree alot about Chou. Like its cool if you wanna be giving your family or friends free stuff but charge everyone else... but they were so blatent! and our cup was all ice but then they turned right around and offered the other people fancy refills.
