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!

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.

The atmosphere was welcoming. I am new to the city and she helped me with my order. The food was excellent, it was exactly as I ordered. I will definitely be back again.
