20 Best Chinese Restaurants near Bessemer

“I got two shrimp and broccoli with fried rice, a quart of hot and sour soup, and an egg roll. It was good as always (i been here multiple times.) One item i tried a couple months and i don't recommend is the honey chicken. The chicken that's used is low quality and the sauce is meh. It doesn't really compare to Lucky Panda Asian Kitchen's Honey chicken though.“

“Always very nice staff and fresh food. The food is delicious too“

“✅ My first time here and I will absolutely be coming back! The man was very kind while also efficient and fast, and the food was much better than many of the more expensive places around; fresh, delicious, great serving sizes, etc. I'm so sick and tired of getting dry/old poorly battered/cooked chicken, stale/weird tasting crispy noodles, and under seasoned/goupy/cold egg drop soup, especially with as pricey as Asian Cuisine is nowdays, and this place was NONE of that. Definitely recommend 💯“

“If you’re looking for bare bones. Great Chinese food this is the spot. I have the teriyaki chicken skewers on top of pork fried rice. Wonderful. I eat at restaurants all around the country. Always looking for great Chinese spots. This is definitely on the list.

Parking: You could park an army here“

“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.“

“Best egg rolls in greater Birmingham area. Reminiscent of Joy Youngs.

March 2026 update. They have priced their food so high now, it is more like an 5-star restaurant instead of a dive. Don't think I will be making a 45 minute drive for take out in the future. I can drive 10 minutes and get same amount of food for under $10.“

“I will never order from this place due to the lack of customer service skills these people have. I have ordered here multiple times with white rice missing from my order. When I call up to inform them that my rice is missing, I am always told to bring my food back up to store and “we will give you white rice”. Well there is a problem with that when I live 30 minutes away, my entire order is going to be cold at that point. They refuse to replace the entire order and do it correctly so all the food will be hot. It seems like this place is ok with screw ups and not doing the right thing. Every order that I place is a minimum of $60. If you are ok with losing a customer, I am ok not ordering from here.“

“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“

“My husband and I love Golden City! We started going 3 years ago, and it has consistently been our favorite place in the area. We love their sushi rolls, sweet and sour chicken, and hibachi. My favorite is the egg drop soup. Not only is the food fantastic, but we always love the incredible service that Golden City provides.“

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

“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.“

“Cannot say enough about the great service and delicious food. They have gone above and beyond in their service on more than one occasion. And the food is the best Chinese around. We've gotten buffet, dine in and take out and have always had delicious food.“

“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 couldn’t wait to get home to give this place one star. I was under the impression by some of the pics that the fried rice came with some type of veggie like peas and carrots . Just onion and the greens onions they had to add after the fact . However, my attitude changed once I tasted the food ! I was surprised at how good it taste . Veggies were cooked very well and everything overall had a great taste . I don’t even eat the brown sauce that came with it but as I type I’m tearing it up! Lol Not my first choice for Chinese just due to personal preference (I like my veggies in my friend rice!) . Also I’m use to a larger portion size for what I paid (a little over $16 ) but this was definitely a hit ! The front lady was every patient cause I knew she could tell I was disappointed. I did not try to hide . I will be back to try some other items now that I l now what to expect ! By the way I got the house friend rice and steam veggie plate.“
