    Dead Roach

    I received my order through door dash today and there was a dead in my sweet and sour sauce when it arrived.

    Kung pao chicken with fried rice
    Elizabeth M.

    I came here this last Monday (4/30/18) as I had just started working nearby, and since it was one of the first restaurants I came to, I figured I'd give the local Chinese place a try out of semi-morbid curiosity. I wasn't expecting amazing fare given how it looked but, well, it ended up being pretty much how one would expect. At least the portion size was enough to fill me up for 2 meals, so for the price of $6.59 (including tax), that's not too bad. The overall score takes this fact into consideration (I even had to go back to check on my personal criteria for scoring to figure out whether to rate this a 2 or 3/5 haha, but I gave it a little boost due to the price and portion). I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken lunch special, which came with soup and fried rice. The hot and sour soup was... mostly watery pepper. Not much sour going on, or much other flavor either, and the thickness not quite there. At least the mushrooms were fairly fresh, and the fried wonton skins were decently crunchy/fluffy and not overly dripping in oil, though the pieces were cut kind of large and it left the kind of aftertaste I'm not fond of. I'd rate it probably a 1/5. The fried rice was on the dry side and the soy sauce used to flavor it was probably Kikkoman or something that was high salt and less rounded in flavor, so I wasn't a huge fan, though it's at least edible and can fill one up. 2/5 I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, which I guess wasn't too bad, though there is also definitely room for improvement. I did like that the vegetables in it were quite fresh (except the baby corn which probably came from a jar) and cooked to the right degree, and that the chicken was decently flavored and held its shape. However, the chicken was not quite crisp enough, and the overall sauce was too salty and likely store-bought. The peanuts also seemed added on as an afterthought, as there was no processing of them prior to the dish, so they were bland and soft instead of flavorful and crunchy like they should be. So this was probably a 2.5-3/5 I'd come around lunch hour, and the wait was a little longer than I would have expected at a place like this, and there aren't that many tables so I had to get take-out. The woman at the cash register was efficient though, which was nice. So in summary, not a good place for authentic Chinese food and I likely won't be frequenting it again, but if you want a decent amount of warm food for a decent price and don't care how your Chinese food tastes, then I guess be my guest, as based on the other reviews, it seems like it's one of the few "Chinese" food places in that city.

    The restaurant prices for lunch hour are high compared to other Chinese restaurants around the area, but they exceed my expectation on having good Chinese food. First off, the egg rolls are huge and I couldn't even finish my meal since I got full from eating the egg roll. The hot and sour soup had lots of mushroom and the right amount of spices to bring the flavor together. The chicken and broccoli had good amount of brown sauce added on the plate which I didn't need to add any soy sauce at all. Other places, I be asking for extra sauce and it still doesn't be enough on the plate. But here, I didn't even have to ask. It's like they read my mind on how I prefer my food to be. As for the meal itself, both the chicken and broccoli were good and it tasted as if they were sautéed. My only complaint is that the onion in the fried rice could've been cook longer, but I'm be coming back every now and then for some good food.

    Our go-to take-out joint. Food always ready fast and hot! The wonton soup is great and has a beefy broth.

    I was working in the area and decided to grab lunch before heading back to the office. I searched…read moreYelp to see what was good nearby and this place had great reviews, so I gave it a try. I ordered online and was able to walk in and pick it up with ease. The online order estimated about 25 minutes, but my food was ready in closer to 10 to 15 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant itself is beautiful. I even snapped a couple of photos while using the restroom and grabbing my order. Dining in would definitely be a very enjoyable experience. Another plus is that there is plenty of parking that is free and easy to access, which made stopping in stress free. The lunch deals are great and the portions are perfect. Most importantly, the food was delicious. I would absolutely try this place again when I'm back in the area.

    When you walk into a "sushi" restaurant, you never know if it's going to be a legit sushi place or…read morenot. Kumo Sushi & Asian should really just stick with "Asian". It's definitely Asian, but it's not very good. In fact, it was downright horrible. I asked if the Shumai was freshly made in the back or frozen. He answered, "Frozen." Then, I asked if the gyoza was freshly made or frozen & he answered, "We don't make any of that there the back." So, basically - this place just buys frozen Asian foods and then heats them up. So, I decided to go with something "safe" and I ordered the agedashi tofu. Agedashi tofu is a Japanese dish, but this place is clearly not a Japanese-owned restaurant because it was called "Age Tofu" on the menu. Sadly, when they brought it out, it was drowning in some sort of sauce that was not doshi broth. I also ordered the General Tso's chicken because I figured that maybe they'd do a better job with a Chinese entree. Nope. It, too was drowning in sauce. And, the thing is - I love Asian sauces. But, I want to taste the actual protein, too. The chicken was overcooked and I think they thought that the sauce would hide it...but it did not. The other funny thing is that the General Tso's dish came with an egg roll and fried rice. The egg roll appeared to be previously frozen, too because it had that "reheated taste". Oh - and fried rice is supposed to have a lot of vegetables in it. My fried rice had like 3-4 specs of carrot. It was horrible. Finally, the two pieces of broccoli that were part of my General Tso's chicken were also frozen and reheated. NOTHING about Kumo was fresh. This is lazy & disgraceful. Since Kumo was now 0-8 on fulfilling menu items, I figured I'd get a mango mochi dessert. Dang - they put so much whipped cream on it that you couldn't even find the mochi. Basically, this place was so disappointing. I had leftovers because it was so bad & I couldn't finish, but I wouldn't even feed the leftovers to anybody I know. Gardendale needs a better option.
