I had a great experience at Hunan Cafe 1246 in Herndon! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The portions were generous, and everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Chinese food in the Herndon area!

I am so impressed with this restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and everything we’ve tried has been excellent. I had almost given up on finding really good Chinese food nearby, so I’m thrilled to finally have such a great place right in the neighborhood.
It’s so nice to have a local restaurant where we can pick up carryout and know the food will be great. This has definitely become our new go-to for Chinese...
