Nongs Hunan Express: Discover Authentic Thai-Chinese Cuisine in Columbus, OH

First time finding Singapore Noodles in Columbus…did not disappoint. We also had Pad Thai and Sesame Chicken (which was delicious), but I thought it would be socially awkward to take pictures of their food…but if you close your eyes and imagine your favorite versions of both dishes, this was still probably better. Would recommend.

Just came here tonight, I’m asian American and it’s always hard to find amazing food in central columbus, and Nongs is it! I can’t believe I didn’t try it sooner honestly as they have been around forever. I got the chow mei fun and it’s light, has a good bite and an amazing flavor.

Hands down the best Pad Thai in Columbus. The prices are very affordable. You can customize your level of spice for each dish. I’ve been coming here for nearly 20 years now and am never disappointed. The owners are wonderful people and feel like family. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Typically, I’m not a fan of Asian cuisine, but Nong’s Hunan Express changed my mind with their exceptional fried rice. This dish alone was enough to impress with its perfect blend of flavors and textures, making every bite memorable. The menu, as captured in the photos, offers a variety of traditional and modern dishes that seem inviting, even to someone with a cautious palate like mine. The restaurant displays its offerings on a comprehensive menu that includes everything from Lo Mein Noodles to Chef Specials, each described in detail, providing a clear picture of what to expect. The interior of Nong’s features charming decorations like the Maneki-neko cats, which add a touch of cultural authenticity and warmth to the dining experience. These iconic figurines are not just decor but are believed to bring good luck, enhancing the welcoming ambiance. Moreover, the vibrant pictures of the food displayed over the counter promise delicious meals and seem to validate the quality and appeal of their dishes. Whether you’re a fan of Asian food or an occasional adventurer like myself, Nong’s Hunan Express seems to have something to delight various tastes.

This fast and clean American Chinese restaurant is located near west campus. The sweet and spicy shrimp and chicken combo tasted great with a good size and price. Their menu had a variety of choices but most were American Chinese fast food dishes.

I’ve ordered here a few times now and I gotta say this is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. You can tell all the ingredients are super FRESH. The chicken dishes I got came with thinly cut chicken that was really tender and delicious. Now when they put the spicy icon next to something, they mean it lol! So proceed with caution if you’re sensitive to spicy things. As far as appetizers go, I’ve tried the chicken egg roll, crab rangoon, chicken wings, and dumplings. The wings were a really nice size and juicy. I was a fan of the rangoon and dumplings. The egg roll was good, but I found it to be a little greasy. The customer service is top notch and the interior of the restaurant is nice as well. Overall, this place is excellent and I would recommend giving it a try!

Love the lady who owns Nong’s Hunan Express. She is so kind. The food is very good and portions are generous. Delivery is available if that is what you need. What’s also nice is if you are a student at OSU you can use your Buck-ID to order through GrubHub. This is a good way to spend those extra dining dollars. You won’t be disappointed. I know we will definitely eat here often. There is a small dining area seating approximately 30 people or carry out is available. They also cater and will prepare food for your special occasion, meeting or event. Call for catering prices. Support your local restaurant owner.

If you have not been here recently, it is under new ownership. Everything is different. There is an entirely new menu, and there is no more Thai food. The interior has been redone so it looks different. I opted for a lunch special with curry chicken spicy. All the ingredients were very fresh and the food was very tasty, I really enjoyed my curry chicken. I took a combo and I chose an egg roll, something I'm usually not super excited about, but, I really enjoyed this one. The thing that really helped was that they have a very good mustard and a very good sweet sauce with it. My wife's favorite Chinese restaurant uses pre-packaged mustard and sweet sauce that are not very good. You won't see that here. They're sauces were absolutely outstanding. I would come back here again just so I could have an egg roll with that crazy spicy mustard. The drinks are in bottles and cans so they have a mix so I was able to get my favorite, Coca-Cola. One of my friends got a mountain dew and a bottle. So, if you have not been here in a while, be sure to come back in and check it out. That I mentioned that the lunch special was very nicely priced.
