22 Best Chinese Restaurants near Fultondale

“Take out for a general tso and it was just how I like it! Other places in Gardendale/Fultondale don't have the same flavor of general tso I've been looking for but China One does. Will be back for sure! Portions were large as well.“

“One of the best places in Birmingham , for atmosphere and food !! Amazing place , makes you feel as if you've traveled abroad ❤️??“

“This is a cozy place that I've enjoyed off and on for many years, the food is skewed towards Chinese-American classics, and that's perfectly fine! They have dishes you'll find in many places, like Mongolian beef (my hands-down favorite), Hunan style stir fry, beef and broccoli, etc. As well as some classic Chinese-American dishes you don't see as often in 2026 like mei-fun and egg foo young.

I haven't yet had anything that was less than good, and in the current economy I'm shocked at how reasonable their prices are. It's real food, in a comfy, nostalgic setting for less than the price of a combo meal at a fast food place. They are a true Mom-and-Pop setup with limited staff, so occasionally there can be a wait, but it feels like a small price to pay and a part of the real-world charm of a small restaurant. In recent years a pivot to mainly online/takeout ordering seems to be doing well for them, but they're just as happy to have you inside.

I promise, if you choose to spend your lunch breaks and money here you'll realize why there's so much nostalgia for these once ubiquitous small-town Chinese restaurants.“

“I usually eat here sir by a pleasant waitress, but this last time we were seated in the area the female waitress was snappy mean grouc😖hy, raise a voice🔥🌋 not friendly at all, and when I mentioned it to the male hostess, seated us, he reply, you can sit wherever you want to then.. after seated in the next area the waitress barely wanted to talk to us, we had to call her over to our table each time. 🌆 I then lost my appetite!!We will not be going back!!🔥🌋🌋!!!!👎👎👎👎👎😵‍💫😈“

“absolutely amazing food! I got the avocado salad and shrimp hibachi. my husband got the California rolls and crab and cream cheese rolls! fresh and delicious. service was great too“

“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.“

“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.“

“So far I've only had the Mongolian beef, and it was so good. Takeout portions are huge. This single order will end up being 3-4 meals for me, easy (small meals). Excellent service, very short wait time. The inside dining area is small but has several booths/tables great for small groups.“

“Excellent!! Great food and service!!“

“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.“

“I really love Chen Express, especially for their delivery. We're extremely wary of most other delivery places or delivery services, but never have any issue whatsoever with Chen. The food is packaged extremely well and it always arrives hot. The actual delivery is always extremely polite, respectful, and surprisingly fast. It's just a fantastic restaurant to have as an option for good quick service. Thank you!“

“Starting, been to this place 4 times now since it opened in February of this year.
The food is great and the portion sizes are very generous, but the prices are too low. Lol.
Two entries, noodles and large soup cost about $15! Not bad at all. My only gripe would be that the food is too salty, especially the sweet & sour soup. This is coming from a guy who salts all his food, but it’s too much even for me. I’ll give them 7.5 out of 10 dumplings, would give them 8.8 if they cut 40% less salt in their food.“

“Incredible food and incredible portions. This is the only Chinese restaurant I could find in the area that really loads up your box for a fair price. The sesame chicken was mainly meat and not overly breaded which I really appreciate. Will definitely come back!“

“Good food and large portions“

“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“

“I have eaten carry out sesame chicken from this restaurant over the last 5 years and there has never been a taste difference in all those years....

Love the egg drop soup so much I learned to make the soup at homs with extra ingredients. ...
.
Altho you have to specify medium.or large otherwise they automatically presume you want large .“

“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.“

“I haven't been here in a while but I'm glad I went back. My wife and I ordered the Happy Family and Sesame chicken and one egg roll. Happy Family was loaded with seafood and plenty of veggies with it. Sesame chicken was fried crispy and was great. Both dinners and egg roll with water to drink a little over $31.00 and we almost filled up a small go plate with leftovers. Will be going back soon!“

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

“That chicken is the best hands down I love my popcorn shrimp with lemon pepper sprinkle and the fish OMG this also fried to perfection, and I can't forget about my egg foo young the best No complaints over her with those delicious shrimp cheese puffs and good flavored slush...“

“THIS PLACE IS ONE OF THE BEST! This place should be slammed with people, not sure why there isn’t? Every time I eat from here not only is the price terrific but the amount of quality freshly cooked food is absolutely delicious, GREAT PRICE GREAT FOOD!“
