40 Best Chinese Restaurants near Vestavia Hills

“I got general tso chicken and it was very good. My only complaint is that they outer watercress in it instead of broccoli, which I found to be a very unpleasant flavor and texture combination so I had to remove them. If they shifted to broccoli it would have been perfect“

“I just tried China Bistro tonight. The food was very good and fresh. I definitely will be going back soon. I love that it’s right down the hill from my house!“

“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!“

“Best Chinese food place in Birmingham hands down. Their fried rice actually has a lot of vegetables and they have bacon fried rice. 🥹 It's great spicy. They also have hand rolled egg rolls not the generic ones. The service was great and I had my food in fifteen minutes.“

“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!

“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.“

“When I tell you, I love freaking Chinese food I’m gonna tell you 100%. This food is so good so savory so delicate so confident of everything I love everything about the food and yeah it’s just so savory and then I recommended all of my family friends and they always love to come there to eat there thank you so much for all your hard work for putting into your food and dishes to make me feel really happy in my family and friends. me personally I’m in love with Mongolian beef.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food and large portions“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I have been eating here for the last four years whenever I come to the Alabama area. This restaurant, and their sister restaurants in Hoover and Montgomery, make incredible Salted Crispy Shrimp and Salted Crispy Chicken, among the best in the country. The prices are very reasionable and the staff are wonderful. Try one of these Salted Crispy dishes and you will come back again and again !“

“Best Chinese buffet. The food was hot and fresh! Service was amazing. Pretty good price for the selection. And they have soft serve ice cream! I express how much I love Mr.Wang! The buffet ends at 2 pm, after then you have to order from the menu.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“A very good Chinese meal.“

“Finally, a place in the south that knows how to do Midwest Style “Springfield Cashew Chicken” No one down here has understood what it is or how to do it. The folks at Chen understood the request and delivered.

Would love to see it added to the menu. Northerners would love it. 🥰

Thank you!!! It’s so good! The service is top notch. The crab Rangoon are delicious.“

“I don’t know why I’m taking the time to write a review for Panda Express right now, but wow. We just left the Hoover store and the customer service was so refreshing! Fast food places lately just have rude workers, but these people were awesome. Greeted us kindly, offered us samples, and were just kind. It was also really clean in there.
Anyway, thank you guys for making me smile today!“

“Just picked up and the food is very good not overly sauced and fresh. Hot and sour souo good too. We had the beef and broccoli and triple delight. Would definitely recommend“

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

“Hot pot and pork roll was good, service was great, definitely coming back“

“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.“

“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. 👌“

“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“

“Lunch has a buffet. Dinner is takeout only. It takes about 15 minutes to make an order and walk out the door. You can order and pay online. Food is not kept under warming lights, so pick up on time or food may get cold. I love their chicken fried rice. The Triple Delight is also good. I do not recommend the Japanese Teriyaki Chicken. It's nothing like the Japanese restaurant. It's very "Chinese-style", in a sauce with green pepper and onion, and tastes only like green pepper.“

“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.“
