35 Best Chinese Restaurants in Birmingham

“Ordered food delivery from here and the food was fantastic! It was still hot when I received it. My mom and I split a dinner and still had so much food left over. Miso was delicious and ginger dressing tastes like it’s supposed to. Would highly recommend!“

“Despite being a small corner located restaurant I found the food and service good with more than I could eat and got a take-out box to finish later at home. I give the atmosphere a good rating also because this restaurant is similar to many oriental restaurants Ive been in. I had a lunch special $8.95 (Shrimp Lo Mein) which included fried rice and an egg roll.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 had a small issue during my visit to PF Chang’s, but the server “Promise” and trainee “ Emily “ both were great and the manager Chris, went above and beyond to make things right. Their professionalism and quick response turned the whole experience around, and I truly appreciate it.

The food was absolutely delicious. It was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. From the appetizers to the main course, everything hit the spot.

Thank you, thank you again to Chris and the team for taking great care of me. I’ll definitely be back!

“Yan Express in Birmingham is a great choice for anyone craving fresh and flavorful Asian food. The menu offers a nice variety of dishes, and everything we tried was well-prepared and satisfying. The flavors were balanced, and the ingredients tasted fresh, which made the meal even more enjoyable.

The service was quick and efficient, with friendly staff who were attentive without being intrusive. Whether you’re dining in or ordering to-go, the team makes sure everything runs smoothly. The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, providing a pleasant atmosphere for a casual meal.

One of the standout features of Yan Express is its convenience. It’s a great spot for a quick lunch or dinner without sacrificing quality. The portions are reasonable for the price, though slightly larger servings would make it even better value.

Overall, Yan Express is a reliable spot for tasty Asian cuisine, and we’ll definitely be back. It’s a four-star experience that’s just a few small tweaks away from being perfect. If you’re looking for a clean, convenient, and delicious place to enjoy a meal, Yan Express is worth a visit.“

“This is the most delicious Chinese Food in Birmingham. I just went here on my birthday and the food was amazing, well presented, with kind staff. We had the Beef and Broccoli, Chicken with Vegetables and egg drop soup and they are all great. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“We go here often and the food is always hot and in abundance. Its tasty, well-seasoned, and fresh. You cannot beat the options of food for the value you're paying!! One of my wife and I's favorite spots and we will always come back! Chow town is one of our top 3 Chinese buffets we've visted in the country.“

“Excellent!! Great food and service!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 take out on Christmas day. It was a fairly large order and we placed the order early in the day to be picked up at 4pm. We arrived right at 4 and everything was ready to go, was still nice and hot (had not been sitting for some time), and was exactly what we had ordered. The food was delicious. Will definitely eat here again.“

“Good food and large portions“

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

“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.“

“My team, RotnReviews, and I recently visited Beijing Express, and we are officially obsessed. This is hands down our new favorite spot. The food was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, served in huge portions, and so fresh it had us scraping our plates clean. On top of that, we had the chance to meet the owners, and they are some of the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet. It is clear they put their heart into everything they do. We highly recommend giving Beijing Express a visit. They truly deserve all the support and love. If you're craving amazing Chinese food and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to be. We cannot wait to go back.“

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

“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“

“If the place doesn’t have a plastic container with a faded lid and a tiny little spoon, containing the house chili oil, or the squeeze bottle with the top cut off just enough to make you work for the chili garlic paste….. Do you even pho though?! “Side of Vietnamese fried pork egg rolls with a delightful fish and vinegar sauce)“

“The best, absolute chicken wings I have had from any where. This place is outrageously good. The decor is poor, the staff is professional, and the kitchen looks clean as hell. Can not find a better place, I'm serious when I say the best chicken wings. They are not coated in sauce they are just amazing wings.“

“Wonderful staff! Very friendly and patient. The Egg roll was good, but it doesn't have any meat, which is fine, just a headsup! But it's honestly pretty tasty by itself. Egg drop soup is worth it, but the crackers were very stale. The real star is the entree here. I got shrimp with mixed vegetables, and it's 8.99 before tax for an egg roll and what you see in the picture, aka a LOT. The fried rice can stand on its own and WOW on the flavoe of the mixed veggies and shrimp!!“

“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. 👌“

“Ok it’s a little run down to look at. But sincerely really really good food! Constantly bringing fresh @ hot food. Excellent soup. I have NO food complaints. The family running the place is SO kind and friendly fly. If you’ve been here before I’d say give it another try! We were very pleasantly surprised“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“I have been here a few times since moving here but it was before they remodeled when it was just take out and the food then was FABULOUS and lots of it for a great price. I have to admit I have not been there since they remodeled and expanded to inside dining now but have to get there soon to give it a try so maybe there will be a follow-up to this review!!“

“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!“
