Hunan Manor - Great
This Zagat rated Chinese restaurant in Columbia, MD is at the top of my list and meets all the criteria. They seem to always have a short wait, even during off hours, but it's worth it. Picture this place as the opposite of Ding How -- great menu, even cheaper lunch specials, clean, awesome egg rolls and a dining room that doesn't have the humidity of a sauna. Ok, back to Hunan Manor. The wonton soup was a monster size bowl and delish. The egg roll was a little corn doggy with an unusual doughy exterior but was also very good. And the Hunan Manor Chicken was spicy, tangy and awesome. Like most Chinese restaurants, they barely made eye contact but were fast and efficient. The real aquariums are on par with the National Aquarium's. Love this place!

I too, am a fan of Hunan Manor, having been a customer for a lont time. Over the years, however, I have seen a slow decline in the quality of the food. Hunan Chicken, my favorite, used to have fresh, crunchy broccoli and carrots. Lately, the veggies have been overcooked and soggy. A friend made an unsolicited comment about the Peacock Chicken, finding the same result.
The interior of the place is in need of repair as well. The carpeting very much needs to be replaced and the booths could use a good power washing.
All in all, HM is still head and shoulders above any other local Chinese restaurant, and I will continue to patronize the place. That, however, is akin to setting up your buddy with a last minute blind date for the prom and telling him "she has a great personality."
