37 Best Chinese Restaurants in Birmingham

“I LOVE LOVE Ming’s! Been enjoying their cuisine for the last 25 years!! Food is very tasty! The owners are FABULOUS! Very accommodating to your specific dietary needs.“

“China Palace is consistently good every time we go. The food comes out hot and fresh, the portions are generous, and the flavor is always on point. The General Tso’s and sesame chicken are favorites, and their fried rice is some of the best around.

Service is friendly and fast, and the place is always clean. Definitely one of our go-to spots when we’re craving Chinese food. Highly recommend!“

“Love their food! Quality sauces and always delicious!“

“Their food is amazing So are their employees Larry helped me so much !! Tonight was my first time“

“Absolutely the best food I’ve had Great quality, staff friendly and beautiful decor. The owner says the restaurant has been there 49 years and he says they have many regulars that come there to eat. We just accidentally ended up here by googling .. this is our new favorite place when in town.“

“This place is absolutely delicious and perfectly priced. You really get a lot for your money! We ordered 3 plates of their chicken fried rice and it was hands down the best we’ve had. I would also like to say that the staff are extremely friendly and seemed to be family oriented. My family will return time and time again. We didn’t get a picture of the food bc we ate it all before this review haha!!“

“Just moved here from Los Angeles, home of the best Chinese food in America, and have been searching for a decent Asian restaurant. Finally found it! Super clean, great Feng Shui, and a very friendly staff. Ordered Hunan Chicken and although it’s prepared a little differently than what I’m used to it didn’t disappoint. Hot and Sour soup is prepped with a chicken base here and was super yummy. They seem to cook with a little less salt and spice here, probably to appease the angry old local geezers, but that’s easily remedied with a touch of soy sauce. Excellent experience, great prices, I found my new local Asian spot!“

“We have visited the Summit location multiple times over the past decade. In fairness, the service was not always up to par. We decided to give this place another try. P F Changs is offering a lunch special starting at 13.99 and dinner starting at 16.99. We arrived for the dinner service, we were immediately seated. We had the pleasure of being served by Joshua. He took the time to ask if we had any questions, checked in on us several times and refilled our drinks more than once. What makes a great server is when they engage. At the end of the meal, we decided to order a dessert to celebrate a special occasion. Joshua delivered 🙌 with service 👏 of kindness and grace.

On to the food, it's great to know P F Changs is delivering an affordable option on their menu. As part of their special, you have a choice of a starter, salad, soup, or an egg roll. We chose the hot sour soup and salad. The dressing on the salad was exceptionally good. It was a great version of the sesame vinaigrette. The hot sour soup 🍲 was served hot and not to spicy. We chose the rice option to accompany our entree. For entrees, we selected the Miso Salmon and the Firecracker Shrimp. There was an upcharge of $1 for our entree selection. The rice was served steaming hot. If you are a rice 🍚 conisour, you know it's appreciated when it is served right. The entree portions are just right for one person. The favorite dish was the Salmon served with the broccoli/ spinach/mushroom stir fry. The flavors of an Asian Stir Fry were present and not laden with a bunch of oil. The firecracker shrimp, the amount of sauce was just right, it covered the shrimp with the heat from the chili pepper and did not drown the dish with heat. As you can read, it was a great dining experience.“

“Great place to eat! Our family enjoys being together at Happy Wok and the food is always great. Large menu has something for everyone!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Happy China in Southlake! They were fast, punctual, and incredibly helpful with a large corporate order. The extra help carrying everything to my car truly made a difference. Service like this is rare—huge thank you to the team for making it such a smooth experience!“

“Just moved here, & I'm so thankful I found this hidden gem! I looked up over 20 places, & I didn't see what I wanted on the menu I'm so thankful I called in and asked if they have Tofu & they did! I made my own Tofu with broccoli, & fried rice with only egg/onion. They have the best prices affordable prices in Hoover! This will be my only to go spot for Chinese food. It's well worth the drive in a very beautiful neighborhood to the plaza. One of my favorite things is the crispy noodles 🤤 they make there's fresh next time I'm getting 10 bags because one wasn't enough. I will be getting food here weekly very generous with the portions almost enough for 3 meals. I highly recommend everyone try this spot, & if you don't see something on there menu just call & ask. Hidden gem thank you so much for the wonderful food.“

“Don’t focus on the 2 stars for atmosphere, unless you’d rather pay for ambience than for good food. The thing that first hooked me on Yoe Express was their coconut soup. Even on that visit I noticed the good price for their lunch specials (which appear to be available at other times as well). So on my next visit I decided to try the black pepper chicken. It was really good, AND the portions of the chicken and the fried rice were large enough that I ate half and took the rest home for dinner. I’ll be back again and again to try the other dishes. Back to the prices - with meal prices going up and up at other restaurants I go to, it’s nice to see Yoe not following suit. You can still get a generous meal of good food for a reasonable price. If you live in Homewood, you owe it to yourself, and to the good folks at Yoe Express, to support this establishment. If you don’t live in Homewood, get in the car and drive there to check it out; it won’t be your last time.“

“Giving 4 stars bc of the huge portions! Sometimes I get some rlly dry stringy bits in the sesame chicken (still get it all the time tho). And I’m also convinced that the chicken teriyaki is made out of chopped up grocery store rotisserie chicken (wouldn’t get this again personally). The spicy chicken and the chicken n broccoli are solid!“

“We ordered here on DoorDash last week and it was amazing. Honey chicken delivered and still crispy, Mongolian combo was perfectly sweet and savory. Beef was tender.
Here it is 3 days later and we went by to get take out.
Glad to find this neighborhood takeout.“

“I stopped by Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant in Tarrant for lunch and got the General Tso’s lunch special. It was delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice, and the portion size was generous. The prices were really reasonable too, especially for the amount of food you get. The service was quick and friendly, and the place was clean and comfortable. Definitely one of the best spots in the area for a good Chinese lunch!“

“We love our local Chinese takeout haunt. It’s not the fanciest Chinese around but they are super fast with your order and the portions are generous. Can’t beat it when we don’t feel like cooking and we can pick it up down the road in 10 minutes. The food is an excellent value for what you get. My husband and I particularly love the eggplant. I love their cheese wontons. Hot and sour soup is amazing. Their combos are great because you get rice and an eggroll or soup. The sauces are pretty generic and some dishes have been a little meh, and their fried rice isn’t really fried rice (more like yellow rice lacking any veggies or egg bits) but for the price you can’t beat it. If you want something spicy, make sure you ask because just because you see something is spicy on the menu doesn’t mean it will be. I ordered Hunan chicken and it looked nothing like Hunan, no chilies. The eggplant which wasn’t supposed to be spicy was spicier than my chicken. Pretty sure they just make up their own version of sauces for some dishes. I do like that they serve broccoli, carrot, onion etc with almost every stir fry. Next time I will ask for chilis if I want it spicy.“

“Excellent!! Great food and service!!“

“Excellent selection of food. All you can eat buffet. Seafood galore!! From the salad bar to the desert bar & all the others available, the selection is really good!! The price is definitely reasonable for all you can eat & the selection available. The restaurant was clean, service was friendly. Priced under 20 a person. We will be back!!“

“The food was amazing and did a to go order when I arrived everything was ready. They’ve done redecorating to make the restaurant more diner friendly and appealing. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants good food on the go or dine in.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly from what I could see“

“Just picked up and the food is very good not overly sauced and fresh. Hot and sour souo good too. We had the beef and broccoli and triple delight. Would definitely recommend“

“Enjoyed a quiet evening visiting a new Chinese Restaurant. Enjoyed a cup of hot and sour soup and the Mongolian combination Chef's special with white rice. Also tried and egg and spring roll. Will have to come back and try other dishes. Heard that they have a great lunch buffet. Worth checking out.

Vegetarian options: Pick your veggies.“

“Good food and large portions“

“We had the wings for the first time yesterday and OMG!!!! Definitely great like everything else on the menu!! 😍😍😍“

“Food was good. Food prepared very fast. My order was $45 I ask for a free soda they said they don’t give away anything for free. I’m visiting from Atlanta most places give a free soda if over a certain dollar amount.“

“excellent food and service. highly recommend! food is fresh and well prepared and they offer a nice variety of dishes.“

“Looks great, beautiful fountain in entrance, nicr comfortable seating. Theres alot to choose from and although some of my favorites were missing, they had plenty of substitutes. The food was pretty good, the only gripe is the seafood especially shrimp was a little too chewy, but otherwise most things seemed perfectly cooked. The servers were super attentive which was nice, never had a glass half empty, it was pretty empty due to weather but still.“

“I’ve been coming here for years I’ve never had a problem with my food EVER. I’ve ordered so many different things I don’t know where to start. I will say they have amazing dumplings with sauce and shrimp egg rolls and SHRIMP fried rice. The service is great, the workers have never been disrespectful or rude. If you have questions they do help explain what is what and how much it cost. Anytime I do calls in the food is usually ready by the time I get there and it’s still hot. I honestly have no complaints about this restaurant.“

“Hot pot and pork roll was good, service was great, definitely coming back“

“Great...wonderful House Special Hot N Sour Soup...The Best Spring Rolls Around...I like Their House Special Lo Mein and Fried Won Tons and hubby likes Sesame Chicken or General Tsa's Chicken...Good Homemade Hot Mustard Sauce Also... Always Consistently Good!!!“

“My first time visiting as I live in Montgomery. I loved it there! The lady that greeted and served us was very nice. She kept a smile the whole time. The food was delicious. We enjoyed our soups, egg rolls, and wings. We had to pack our lunches to go. I'll definitely be back.“

“why y'all so me like this for my13 dollars fish over batter dry chicken fry hard dryy come on now eat there every day and probably tomorrow but damn and hire a new Chinese cook my husband comes every day for soup and the Chinese cook rarely be there so out of seven days of coming there we got soup maybe three times so when is he planning on coming to work or what days do you work so we'll know and stop wasting gas“

“I loved it 😍. The service and food were excellent. The seating areas were well kept and cleaned even the bathrooms were very clean. Everything there was very clean even the staff were dressed nice an very friendly people and friendly environment. So I recommend this place. 👌“

“I've only been here maybe once or twice but the food is always fresh, if you have a wait a few minutes it's because they are actually cooking the food. Today they were giving out samples of 2 new drinks.

Maria is amazing, I don't know if she is the manager or one of the owners but her customer service is 1000% she is amazing. Maria goes above and beyond every time and is incredibly nice“

“My recent visit to Good Friends Chinese & Seafood was a delightful journey into Chinese cuisine. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere set the stage for a satisfying meal. I ordered fried rice, egg rolls, and shrimp, and each dish was a delight. The fried rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the egg rolls were crispy and packed with savory fillings, and the shrimp was a succulent and flavorful treat. Good Friends Chinese & Seafood's dedication to authentic Chinese flavors and high-quality ingredients was evident in every dish. The friendly service and the welcoming ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a fan of fried rice, egg rolls, shrimp, or simply seeking a taste of China, Good Friends is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings!“

“I don't know why the rating isn't higher for here. Everything was great. The one complaint I have is how much oil is used in the food (which tastes phenomenal by the way). So I ate less than I would have liked to. Other than that 10/10 experience. Just be mindful if you're looking for something on the healthier side! I should have done the hibachi!“

“I honestly don't know why I hadn't tried Panda Express until now. I saw an advertisement for a new dish & wanted to try it. Unfortunately, this location didn't offer it, but with their prices being so reasonable, I thought I'd still give them a try. Ordering is completely customizable & they have different serving portions options to make sure you're getting exactly how much of whatever it is that you want. I ordered online for carrout. The food good, was ready on time & staff was polite. I'll definitely be back!“

“I think some of yall are ly8n like hell qith the things you say. NOBODY that works there is gonna sit and watch you eat. If you seen a roach.. guess what most all food places have them. Its also not nasty. I bet half of yall complaining got bugs at your nasty house and cant cook. Tryin to get something for free. ALSO YOU CANT CARRY OUT THE FOOD OFF OF YOUR PLATE!!!! THATS NOT HOW BUFFETS WORK. DUMMY“
