If you are not hungry, don't order! I've been eating for 5-7 minutes and haven't made a dent!! Soooo much great, delicious food. Shrimp were high quality too! When I return to Birmingham, this will be one of my first stops! 1. Shrimp Fried Rice 2. Shrimp with Lobster Sauce

So I swung by New China Town Wednesday and decided to give it another try - it's been years since I last stopped in . As a NYC native, I'm always on the hunt for that authentic Chinese flavor from back home, and let me tell you, it's been a challenge here in Alabama. But I was in the area and craving some egg foo young, so I thought, why not? I'm so glad I did! The egg foo young was spot on - I usually ask for the gravy on the side, but I forgot this time and it actually worked out because it was smothered in that savory roast pork goodness . It totally transported me back to that hole-in-the-wall joint in Brooklyn I used to go to as a kid! My husband's general tso's chicken was a hit too - it's up there with the best I've had in Alabama. If you're looking for legit Chinese food in the area, I'd def give New China Town a shot . Can't wait to come back!

Pretty standard American Chinese food. We ordered takeout. Food was ready by the time as they stated on the phone. It was good enough for takeout!

Eye mean the amount of food that you receive is abundant.. however eye didn't get my egg roll. Even though that's what eye really wanted. Overall taste was ok. The broccoli was definitely great when eye dipped it in the juice .. ordered the orange chicken.

I only tried Mongolian vegetarian beef, multiple times. It’s my go-to here. It was a quick fix when during my vegetarian journey. Someone actually recommended to me and I definitely have recommended to others. Parking is in the street, recommend to order ahead.

New China Town is a good place to visit. Customer service is AMAZING ! I only get one thing there though, either sesame tofu or general tso’s tofu. Honestly it’s so good ! It’s so good it had me knockout within 10 minutes of finishing it. While sleepy away rest of my day is not ideal, because I didn’t get anything accomplished, I sat back and just thought about how good that tofu was and it put a smile on my face.
