It’s a great local Chinese restaurant, although these days you can only do take-out. The lady at the counter was chatty and affable which was really great. We ended up getting General Tso chicken and pork chop suey. The General Tso was sweet and crispy, better than others. The chop suey didn’t have a lot of onions which is how we liked it. All in all the food tasted great.

Service was excellent, and so was the food. Everything we ate was delicious. Not one complaint. We went on a Friday night around 6:45 and our party of 4 sat right down. Our server gave recommendations that were spot on. We had crab Rangoon, dumplings, egg rolls, hunan delight, orange chicken, sesame chicken, fried rice. All exceptional. Portions are very large.
Updating to say we had lunch here. Lunch menu is affordable. Service was great and food was excellent again!

Ordered sesame shrimp and received fried chicken appetizer instead. Everything else was correct. The sesame chicken is just under $14 and the fried chicken appetizer is just under $8. Very disappointing.

Went here at noon on a Monday, not crowded. Hot & Sour soup and egg roll were very good. Main dish- Garlic Chicken- was okay rice was eh and not hot. I might come again and try something else but if I never ate here again I wouldn’t be upset.

The chicken low mein and pork fried rice are incredible. Excellent and quick service. Appetizers were ok. Got spare ribs, crab rangoon, fried dumplings and chicken nuggets. Will definitely be back.

Frankly, I don’t know why this place isn’t more popular. I no longer live in the area, so anytime I come back to Birmingham I try to stop and have at least one meal at Hunan Garden because it’s been so consistently good over the last two decades.

Everything about this place is old school Chinese restaurant, from the décor to the worn booths, to the menu. Even the way the waitstaff acts around customers, it’s a whole different vibe. It isn’t chic, it isn’t trendy and it sure isn’t slick and modern. But it is really, really good food, and isn’t that the most important thing?

The last time I dined in, I tried the Hunan Combination, which has shrimp, chicken and pork in a sweet and spicy sauce. Think of General Tso’s but with a lighter, brighter sauce and you get the idea. It was good, but not very spicy at all, and there were only a few shrimp in the entire dish. Everything was super tender, at least.

My dining companions picked their usual favorites: Lemon Chicken and Mongolian Beef. The Lemon Chicken is almost like a citrus candy it’s so sweet, and the breaded and fried chicken is tender, but with a crunchy crust. The Mongolian beef is a real standout thanks to the thin, crispy slices of beef. There’s a deep umami flavor at work here that compliments the tang of the green onions.

Sweet tea is always good and sweet and strong, too, which is nice. The servers might seem to be kind of aloof or even rude at first, but they open up quickly and are good with suggestions and advice. Drinks are quickly refilled and the overall dinner pace is usually on the slow side of efficient but good enough.

After all these years, it remains my single favorite Chinese restaurant anywhere in the state of Alabama. The quality of the food, the flavor and the great prices charged are just an unbeatable combination, even if it is old and showing its age, and out of touch with the hipster diner ethic of today. That just makes it all the better in my book.

The older lady was really nice upon arrival. She was very friendly and chatty. At this time, you can only do take out orders! Service was fast and the food was piping hot! The Kung Pao Chicken was good, but not as spicy as I hoping for. The Crab Rangoon’s were good too.
