10 Best Chinese Restaurants near Calera

“I have a mixed review. The Crab Rangoon and Hot/Sour soup were excellent; hot and fresh. Bang Bang chicken and egg rolls were cold. I ordered takeout in person at the restaurant at 11:10 am shortly after opening. The restaurant wasn’t busy, yet I was told it would take 15 minutes. That’s standard for all takeout orders so no problem. However, with the wait I expected EVERYTHING to be hot and fresh. To end on a positive note, the flavor of everything was good, even the cold items once heated. 2 egg rolls, bang bang chicken appetizer, hot and sour soup and crab Rangoon (5) totaled $32…a little pricey for a Chinese lunch.“

“I love this restaurant. The staff is very friendly, and the head cashier is even fluent in 3 languages. They're food is very delicious, and my favorites are Beef broccoli, Mongolian Beef, and tempura shrimp. They're portions are guaranteed to feed a family. You definitely get you're money's worth. Highly recommend it 👌.“

“Traveling through Alabama and stopped in town for the night. We decided to give this place a blind try. Mongolian special was fantastic, was told the Cashew Chicken and Garlic chicken were also very good. Egg drop soup was delicious. The chicken egg rolls with their made in house hot mustard were some of the best I have ever had.
My only complaint, and this is just personal preference, is the crab rangoon were more sweet then crab/onion tasting. Best Chinese food I have had in years.“

“Always fantastic! My favorites are the Moo Shu Chicken and the Tiffany Roll ❤️“

“I love Panda House!! Amazing food, I usually get take out or delivery, BUT over the last 4 weeks every time I’ve gone into DoorDash to try to order, it has said your closed, and always been during open business hours, usually a weekend? Not sure if delivery is scaled back on purpose, or if a an issue with DoorDash?“

“I would like to find a buffet type one day, since the dishes are not very varied and I love Asian food I would love to eat a little more free, the restaurant is very clean and tidy its employees wonderful human beings very friendly the truth highly recommended to eat here“

“🥰 The most delicious meals you will ever eat, and such a warm friendly atmosphere!“

“Wonderful Food service and everything!
I have eaten a lot of Crab Rangoon in my life but this is the best I've ever had. They took the time to elevate a rather simple dish. I love it when restaurants take the little opportunities for that.“

“I was in the mood for Chinese food and decided to give Hunan Garden 2 a try. From the outside, the place looks a little rough, and the interior is very basic. There’s one table and the rest of the space is wide open, so it’s clearly more focused on takeout than dine-in. That said, where this place truly shines is in the food.

We called in our order ahead of time, and when I arrived, I was greeted by a young lady who appeared to be the owner’s daughter. I told her who I was and what I was there to pick up, and she was very kind, polite, and welcoming. She even asked if we needed any extra sauces before going straight to work gathering our order.

We ordered beef lo mein, beef fried rice, sesame chicken, and vegetable fried rice. The portions were large, very filling, and well worth the price. The flavors were bold, fresh, and absolutely delicious—everything tasted like it was made with care.

As long as you’re planning to take your food home, Hunan Garden 2 is a great choice for anyone in the area looking for satisfying Chinese food with generous portions and great flavor.“

“I had a wonderful experience here! So I left my debit card in the drive through after I got off work, and parked in the lot to eat after a long day. Soon enough I get a call from my boss saying Panda Express called to notify that I left my card! So I walk back inside and spoke to the person who helped me in the drive-thru, and they said they paid attention to my uniform and appearance and called the workplace to get in touch with me. And I think it’s so admirable that someone cared that much even though we’re complete strangers. That single act of kindness really made my day and it’s that integrity and honesty that truly shined. I sadly do not remember their name, but I recall the little cat emoticon on their tag. Well done, you! Well done! 👏“
