"4th Star is a Nostalgia Bonus . This is the kind of place we can go to when you don 't have the lady friends/missues in tow. The only ethnic cuisine I could afford at a certain time in my life. By the Grace of God, I can now buy $30 worth of soup for lunch trendy pronounced names add value). I am pleasantly surprised, and I accept some of that may be a projection of simpler times, and simpler pleasures. I walked in to order, wasn 't sure which Hunan place I was headed to the GPS was wonky, and there are two similar named places in the same general area), so didn 't call ahead. They got me served in 10 minutes for sure. I had a lunch special, Kung Pao chicken comes with fried rice, egg roll). It was a really generous portion for $8 tax. I bought an extra eggroll for the afternoon golf beers, so ina nd out for $11. Ever notice that the fancier the food is, the less you get for a higher price? Interesting that we all play along with that. I went to a Gala last night at MD Live, great time, live band, got to wear my Tux, but the meal $250 for ticket) was a dry chicken breast, a scoop of mashed potato, a couple strands of tortured broccolini. Anyway...back to Hunan Odenton. This was a good Sunday lunch, glad I went with the impulse to slum it with some affordable carry-out , when the opportunity arose. It 's a cover of the book is misleading situation for sure. It 's part of one long 2- story building, apartments on top, a vacant place and a liquor store. A mini-strip mall that may have once been nice when the Doobie Brothers topped the charts. There are some new MD priced townhouses/apts nearby, so not so sure how long a place like this will survive the tide of gentrification in the area. I think $30 soup isn 't too far off in the future. I had never been here before, but will certainly come back."
