Super good place. Not obvious from the street - but walk upstairs and you'll be glad you did.

The best thing of this venue is the price! Price is actually affordable and reasonable based on the location and Washington DC itself. Food portion is large as America standard however it is too oily for my taste and it can be a fusion rather I would say true Hunan/Chinese cuisine. Atmosphere is the typical Chinese-next-door restaurant. Peking duck set is actually good.

Food is great. Tianjin Bao Zi are the best in the DC Metro area. Service is great. We tried three other dishes. I would give 4.5 out of five on all the dishes. For people who love Chinese food, try it.

Sometimes you need a greasy chinese place to calm the nerves after a long day, and hunan dynasty does just that. Insanely large portions, great deals on doordash ($10 orange chicken, the modern day $5). Great fish tank which I enjoy looking at. All other chinese places bow down to hunan, 4.1 at the time of review is DISRESPECTFUL. I will go here till I croak, I love you hunan.

Great food and excellent service at Hunan Dynasty. Everything was fresh and full of flavor, and our server Jolin was amazing; friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.
This place is a gem for authentic Chinese food. The Peking duck was absolutely delicious — crispy skin, juicy meat, and perfectly seasoned. You can really tell it’s done the traditional way.
The Tianjin-style buns were another highlight. Soft, fluffy, and packed with flavorful filling, they were easily some of the best I’ve had outside of China.
Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to anyone craving real Chinese cuisine.

I had dinner here last night - and it was just okay! I was so bummed that it didn’t meet my expectations. I ordered a wonton soup - which is typically in a delicious broth, but they clearly used a buillon cube because it was extremely salty and highlighter yellow. The wontons inside the soup were tasty, but again the salt from the fake broth overpowered and ruined it for me. Then I ordered the Pekking duck which I googled this restaurant for specifically - and again just OK /Sub par. The presentation was beautiful but I got a piece without too much edible meat for the price! Full of fatty pieces and clearly deep fried in a vegetable oil because it was all I could taste. Really disappointed, unfortunately I won’t be coming back. The server was nice but not too personable, and I was one of three tables seated. I can’t understand if this is the allotted of food /service all the time or if it was because I came an hour and a half before closing. Attached is a photo of the wonton soup coloring and presentation.
******UPDATE - I’m honestly baffled by how bad this meal was. I’ve given Hunan Dynasty a few chances, but this time was the last straw.
The wonton soup was highlighter yellow with chewy, inedible pork — the texture was off and tasted unpleasant. The General Tso’s chicken was even worse: mostly thick breading with barely any meat inside, and what little chicken there was felt undercooked and full of weird ligaments. The sauce was pure sugar — more like corn syrup than anything resembling a balanced dish.
The Dan Dan noodles arrived cold, flavorless, and greasy, with the meat tasting stale and chewy. Even the vegetable spring rolls were over-fried and dripping in oil, leaving a coating of vegetable grease instead of any real flavor.
Overall, this meal was completely inedible. For the price and reputation, this was shockingly low quality — everything tasted mass-produced and carelessly prepared. Definitely would not recommend or reorder.

Ordered from here twice during my stay in DC, both times the order was incorrect. The first time I ordered beef with broccoli and I received chicken with broccoli. The second time I ordered chicken chow mein and received chicken with veggies. Really wish they would get the order correct, it’s even printed right on the receipt attached to the bag!
food is pretty good，especially the pork bun!
