“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.“

“My wife grew up in the Birmingham area and swore this was the best chinese food restaurant ever. We actually live in the Atlanta area now, but every chance we get we travel from the west side of the Atlanta area just to purchase chinese food from this restaurant. I was in the Birmingham area today and I stopped by to purchase a meal before I return back to Atlanta. The portion are vary generous 😇 it not a bad meal 😋 on the menu. They are famous for their handmade egg rolls oversize. I purchased six egg rolls, pepper steak, beef and broccoli, and shrimp fried rice. For my wife I purchased Mongolian and chicken, and sautéed broccoli in brown sauce 😋 each meal we also purchased a small portion of fried rice four each! Once again if you're ever in the Birmingham area this restaurant is a must stop by and get. They are now allowing you to dine in and eat as well 😋“

“Everything here is amazing. I'm a child so I'm picky sometimes but I tried 6 new foods today and the results were awesome. The workers are so friendly and have a board of photos of customers who came to their last building, my family and I are on it because my family has been going even before I was born. It's just that good. We always get the buffet and the food is always fresh. YUMMYYYYY“

“The food taste great. But hot and sour soup seafood for two had two shrimp. That’s it for the seafood hot and sour soup, dinner menu. The dumplings are delicious but the most tiny container of sauce, for eight dumplings! Feeling a little cranky. Never a question of flavor, it’s the best.“

“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.“

“Excellent Chinese Food. Fresh and seasoned appropriately. I ordered a half roasted duck which was so tender and plated beautifully. I also tried the sweet pea leaves. Very tender greens seasoned with light garlic sauce. Love loved the greens. I also ordered the Kung Pao Chicken. Very tasty lightly spiced with, peanuts, mushrooms and zucchini in a light sauce. All Came with 2 orders of steamed rice and was packaged to go, as I was traveling back to MS. I enjoyed a chicken egg roll that was fresh and filled with lots of chicken in a crispy roll and was hot. Could have ate a second one. Everything was remarkably delicious and the young lady who took my order was patient and explained the different dishes. This was my second time to order from Mr. Chen’s. I dined in the first time. The Restaurant is tastefully decorated and is uniquely located inside the Homewood Chinese Grocery Store. Next time I go to Birmingham I want to purchase some of the produce and other items that appeared fresh and healthy from the store, which had an abundance and variety of items not found in your typical grocery store. Well worth making a stop.“

“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 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 .“

“Ordered on door dash. I can’t say strongly enough how good the food was. Family of four very happy- best Chinese food we’ve had except for maybe Surin and it really beat out just about anywhere else we’ve had in recent memory. Was pleasantly surprised.“

“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.

“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.“

“One of my favorite lunch spots! The buffet is well stocked and here’s a tip: the white rice is hidden in the black rice cooker near the plates, so don’t miss out if that’s what you want. The ladies are always polite, attentive and pleasant. It’s a little hole in the wall gem in Bessemer located off 459 exit 6 behind Waffle House“

“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.“

“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!“

“Higher quality than your typical fast food. Also when you go inside instead of drive through, you see their setup and it really inspires confidence in the quality and cleanliness. Also, I've had more pleasant interactions with the workers here than most fast food, friendliness every time I've been.“
