Hunan Springs, Allentown

Hunan Springs is the only restaurant in the area I refuse to go to after having been there twice. All the other reviewers so far rave about it, so I am posting my complaints in case someone else is like me and hates to be rushed through a meal. Friends who do like to eat there, who eat out quite a bit, say they like the way orders are taken quickly and the food comes fast. My comment to them is that I do not want my entre to arrive within minutes of an egg roll or soup course, such that the entre basically sits and starts cooling off while the first course is being finish. They say this does not bother them--but I do like to finish one course at a time. I also do not like being given the check before I am done eating [again, this does not bother my friends]. I do not remember what I ordered the first time, but the second time I ordered musuh (spelling?) pork and it was *not* authentic. Instead of Chinese cabbage, regular cabbage was used. All the ingredients I normally expect to find in authentic mushu pork, like cloud ears and lotus blossoms, were not there. This would have been alright, because I expect Chinese restaurants to cater to Western tastes, but it was very, very bitter, as if the cabbage was old. Some of the other reviewers praise Hunan Springs for serving authentic Chinese cuisine. I beg to disagree. For authentic Chinese food, one has to go to Philadelphia. My mother and her friends have similar complaints to mine. They don t enjoy going to a sit down restaurant either where the food comes out as fast as it does at McDonald s. That said, I pass the restaurant a lot while running errands and there are always cars (at meal times) in the parking lot. The restaurant area customers sees is clean so I am giving it 2 stars instead of 1.

best upper scale chinese in LV. Excellent General Trang(TSO's)chicken. They do have take out as well as sit down service

Absolutely the best sit-down Chinese Restaurant in the LeHigh Valley area. Great service, excellent taste and calm atmosphere. Preferred dishes: chicken or beef and brocoli with rice.
