Hunan Palace Menu

Hunan Palace at 6118 Lancaster Ave in Philadelphia offers an extensive Chinese-American menu built around familiar takeout favorites, spicy Hunan and Szechuan-style dishes, noodles, fried rice, seafood, chicken, beef, vegetables, and combination platters. General Tso’s Chicken is a standout favorite, joined by popular choices such as Sesame Chicken, Shrimp Egg Foo Young, Shrimp Lo Mein, fried wings, and BBQ spare ribs. Chef-style specialties and combination meals provide particularly good variety, while most dishes sit comfortably in an affordable neighborhood takeout price range.

The cooking emphasizes generous sauces, contrasting sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy flavors, and straightforward preparations that keep vegetables, tofu, meat, and seafood at the center of each dish. Meat-free selections include Green Jade, broccoli with garlic sauce, home-style bean curd, and General Tso’s bean curd. Gluten-free diners should confirm ingredients and cross-contact directly with the restaurant. Mild noodles, rice, chicken, and vegetable dishes can work well for children, while combination plates offer convenient value for lunch or dinner. Family-style ordering is especially suitable for groups, though the menu is primarily geared toward lunch and dinner rather than breakfast.
