Hunan Spring tops our readers’ poll for best Chinese food in town.
The readers have spoken and Hunan Spring has come out on top in our Chinese restaurant poll. In a poll that garnered over 70 votes, the Morris Ave. eatery bested its competition by taking over ten percent of the poll. The stats are below. And we could tie ourselves in knots talking about why Hunan engenders such loyalty. But instead, we thought it would be best to let their loyalists explain why Hunan springs eternal. On restaurant review website yelp.com readers praised the food and ambiance, singling out the Peking Duck and other signature dishes. “For a bracingly piquant treat, ask for the ‘Crazy Beef,’” Tess T of Millburn writes. “This is a delicious, authentic Sichuan dish for those who like it hot. Melt-in-your-mouth tender slices …

Not loaded with salt like many take-outs, this Mountain Avenue restaurant serves a hot, fresh, affordable lunch
Every town has its share of sketchy looking hole-in-the-wall-type Chinese takeouts, as well as restaurants that serve fresh, quality Chinese food. To help me sort the former from the latter, I asked readers for recommendations of Chinese restaurants in town. A couple months ago, I received the following comment from a reader: "Our favorite Chinese Restaurant in Springfield is Chen's 22. The food is always fresh, hot and delicious. It never leaves you wanting to drink a gallon of water when you are finished as many other places do. The people are courteous and the prices are reasonable." Putting those words to the test, I visited Chen's, in Echo Plaza, where Mountain Avenue meets Route 22. The long blue and black dining room has about six …

Hunan Spring may look like a diner from both the inside and out, but you won't find a bottomless cup of coffee or flapjacks of any kind on the menu.

The large restaurant serves up lunch specials in three price points ($6.95, $7.50, and $7.95) that include a choice of rice (white, brown, or fried), soup (wonton, egg drop, hot and sour, chicken noodle, or chicken rice), and a main course. It's hard to go wrong with that much food plus table service at …
