First let me address prices, I have seen a few reviews stating the prices are high. I find that the prices are very much in line with other local Chinese take-out restaurants and even possibly cheaper if you hit the lunch or dinner special. With that said, be prepared to shell out .30 cents for a cup of ice water and to almost pay full price for a soda refill. (Soda fountain is not help yourself, it stays locked with a key and the same with the water). I had the dinner special.(what makes it the D.Special is you get fried rice instead of white and an egg roll) The price was the same as a regular dinner, after tax $9.08 You get what you pay for with the portions. You receive your meal in the typical Styrofoam meat and two clam shell. My rice completely covered half of the entire container, filling both (side sections) and was Stacked about 1/2 inches higher than the insideof the box. My meat, (Gen Tsos) filled the opposite side completely and was stacked just as high as the rice. My friend ordered another type of meat, and it was presented the same way. Both dinners were fresh and very good. They tasted like what typical Americans think Chinese food should taste like, but I would say it is always better than the average and definitely better than the local compeditors. We also ordered gyosa (dumplings / pot stickers) and they were piping hot and very delicious. (1)D-Special + geosa = $15.45 On the down side, the egg roll was terrible and about 1/2 the size of a traditional buffet style egg roll (about the size of a mini spring roll). The chilli sauce was overly oily and bitter with no spiciness or flavor at all (think red pepper shaker from a pizza restaurant mixed with oil). The restaurant is family owned/run. The parents run the kitchen and the two children run the front (brother/sister). Everyone is always very polite and helpful. The restuarant itself always seems clean and orderly. Overall, I think this is a great place to come for fast Americanized Chinese food. It is better than average and beats out the competition with ease. If you have a $10 spot burning a hole in your pocket , you cant go wrong.

I have loved this place for over 3 years now. The food is fantastic and an excellent deal. This is my first time having to deal with their son taking my order. Hes such a little jerk and I will say something the next time I go in there and he talks to me the way he did today. The daughters are nice and even the parents are cool people. They will lose business because of him and its a shame because its one of the few places I can go without swelling from all the MSG other places put in their food.

I recently just went Sunday (Fathers Day). I am that disappointed that the daughter no longer works there. I experienced discrimination like you would not believe from the wife towards my husband. After over two years as a faithful customer. No matter how good your food is...I can take my money else where. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Two orders placed. They apparently only took the order for one drink. Soon and I are in a booth, they bring out one bottle coke even though 2 food orders and 2 people. They didnt even question it. We were unaware until he came out with one bottle.

Very good food. Best I have had in a long time. Looked to be run by family also. They had the parents working in the back and kids taking care of customers up front. Very friendly service. Will definitely go back if im ever in the area again.

Food tastes fresh. I like the curry and the bean curd, although those will not be to most Westerners tastes. Takeout portions generous, service is friendly, and its in a quiet strip mall. Quite possibly my favorite Chinese restaurant in Bham.

Some people are a little dramatic.... They are really nice people and have been ordering from them for 8 years since I have move to Birmingham AL. Food not better than San Diego but its better than anyone else around Birmingham.

This is quite possibly be the best Chinese food Ive had to date. I dont know what fuss is about the prices. Its pretty good prices considering the amount of food given.

Food was good give it a 4. Customer service was a 2. No greeting when you walk in the door, long wait time for food.

Very good food. Not very busy though. Buffets seem to be the most popular Chinese places for about the same money.
