4 Best Chinese Restaurants in Cullman

“Rice and Soy is our go to for Chinese food in Cullman. It is primarily a take-out restaurant. They do have a few tables if somebody chooses to eat in. There is not a lot of atmosphere but the restaurant is very clean. We place our order and it is always ready in twenty minutes which is exactly how long it takes for us to travel there. They put all meals in a very nice plastic container and then put it in a paper bag which they then put into a plastic bag. They give you the individual condiments to go. Tonight we ordered the Mongolian Beef with a spring roll and fried rice. The portions are always very generous and their prices are fair. As stated this is the best Chinese food in town and yes we will be back.“

“We moved from Birmingham and were sad to leave our favorite Chinese Restaurant behind. I tried many places between Cullman, Hartselle and Decatur and finally landed on Peking. The food is really good and its always hot and fresh. We drive 25 minutes to go pick it up, because it's worth it! The inside of the restaurant is nothing exciting, but that isn't an issue for me. We always get it to go anyway.“

“Great food, great service!!“

“Cutting to the chase with highest recommendations: Moo shoo pork, bourbon chicken, hot & spicy shrimp, egg foo yong, and shrimp/beef/chicken/pork with garlic sauce, and the wontons with garlic sauce.

I have eaten literally every item at this place, including the chicken nuggets. When I was in high school, there was a restaurant in Tarrant that I would frequently visit and I had a copy of their menu that I would strike through, and get a different thing each time. I wanted to try doing that again, and finish off the menu of a Chinese place, so after I tried the sesame chicken there and figured it is a place that does things right (see below), Nothing that I have gotten here is bad, except the chicken nuggets (please don't go to a Chinese restaurant for chicken nuggets) and the two tofu dishes. The steamed health dishes were a lot better than I expected, having never gotten one before.

I have a standard for Chinese restaurants: if they don't do sesame chicken right, they won't do the rest right, so if I go to a place I may go to more than once, I will get sesame chicken first. There's two kinds, the syrupy gross kind, and the good kind. New China has the good kind. (One exception is Ming's Garden in Gardendale. They have terrible sesame chicken but great Mongolian beef).

By the way, there's a dish called Dragon & Phoenix that is a mix of General Tso Chicken and Hot & Spicy Shrimp in the same plate. Get one or the other, and don't get that dish, because the shrimp's sauce is thinner than chicken's sauce and will make it taste weird and watered down. Obviously I recommend the latter dish more or else I wouldn't have put it at the top.“
