Joe H Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hunan Cafe has seven outposts. Over the past several weeks I've worked my way through eight or nine different carryout dishes but have found one that is absolutely outstanding: orange shrimp. The overall level of this place is heads and shoulders above any other "traditional" Chinese carryout in Western Fairfax County. Still, the orange shrimp is a seriously good dish worth going out of one's way for, at least for carryout. I would rank this along with the "Wild Shrimp" at Thai Laung as the best shrimp dishes in the western Fairfax county suburbs. Thai Laung's is $22.95... And, the orange shrimp at this strip shopping center store front is $12.95 and worth every penny. I should also add that this is a particularly embarassing post: one doesn't typically write about store front carryout Chinese. The problem is that I can't stop thinking about the damned Orange shrimp. I'm actually considering TWO orders on my next visit: one for dinner and one for...breakfast.

Sorry for not listing this: http://www.foodnova.com/hunancafe7/ Another apology: the correct name is "Hunan Cafe VII." It is at 2254 Hunters Woods Plaza off of Colts Neck between Glade and South Lakes. The shrimp dish is #127 on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hunan Cafe has seven outposts. I looked at the website, and could only find six. They appear to have skipped Hunan Cafe II - can anyone confirm or deny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faboo Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Based on Joe's rec, I got carryout today for myself and two co-workers. No one got the Orange Shrimp. Good to know about. Thanks, Joe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
