The to go here is SO good! The staff are always really kind. Have had multiple take outs with friends & family and all of them have been consistent in quality. They arrive fairly warm after a drive. I don't know how searing in the building is, but they do have space in the location to eat inside. Usually just park by the parking garage and hop out. The phone call to order is also very easy! Egg rolls are so yum and have the perfect softness with a crunch. 10/10 The rice is always well done 10/10 The spicy orange chicken was a new one for me, LOVE it! I'll definitely be making it a regular when I decide to order here. 10/10 Overall, I would say one of the best Chinese spots downtown! read more

Today, I decided to eat an ethnic view meal at China Master Express near UAB Hospital campus. They offer cook to order dishes, like Mongolian beef, sweet & sour shrimp, lo mein and fried rice. Vegetarian options like seasoned vegetables and tofu are available as well. Some of the most popular items are ready on a line, where the ladies are serving up huge portions with every meal. Soup, egg rolls and wontons are available on the line too. The price is fairly reasonable and water is free for dine in customers. The interior wall decor features Asian figures and Japanese cherry blossoms with red painted walls. I chose a deluxe combo, trying sesame chicken and chicken and broccoli with lo mein noodles. The entire plate was fresh and seasoned with from top and bottom. The chicken was served over the noodles, which made it a bit difficult to eat them until some of the protein was eaten down. Overall, the visit earns a 4 star rating. I would eat here again! - DASC read more

China Master - General Tso - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

The service was quick. The food was plentiful and full of flavor. We were able to eat twice from this meal. Both of us are small and could have shared a meal and still have leftovers. The ambience was typical of a fast food Chinese restaurant. read more

The food was great . The teriyaki chicken was very tasty,also General Tao chicken was tender and had the right amount of sauce The Lo Mein noodles were fantastic. I'm glad I found this place on Yelp. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wendy and the staff at China Master only enhanced the great food that's served at this establishment. For a grab and go you can't go wrong and the Kung Pao Tofu was crazy good. Bravo read more

It was good. Similar to what you find at the mall. Good portions. I got the teriyaki chicken and rice and noodles

It was my first time ordering for there it was GREAT!!! I had the Manager's Special and it comes with rice, sesame chicken/just like orange chicken, and noodles.The place smelled great and no crumbs and the tables were clean. read more

Noodle and broccoli beef is very salty. Very thick on the noodle sauce and broccoli beef making it very salty. Didn't enjoy as much!

Problems with delivery twice in a row. I finally received second delivery. It was not what I ordered and appeared to be food from the night before. read more

I ordered a combo fried rice only chicken and shrimp with extra onions. I received combo fried rice with beef, chicken, and shrimp, extra onions. You may be thinking, a third meat..be grateful (). Red meats (beef and pork) had been removed from my diet 15 years prior. I have no real issue with the food. It's pretty consistent with all other Chinese restaurants. My issue happened when I asked to have the incorrect order back to give to the homeless man who walked along side me. Did he ask for food, No. My heart said bless. The young lady who remade my order said sure, just take it. An elder intervened, approached me to take the food back. Say no, we can't do that. I thought to ask what are you going to do with it... I guess I didn't really want to know the answer so I didn't. I can understand how that may have created unwarranted solicitations but who would have known other than the person needing food and the business owner? I was disappointed by that. I'm always having to address heart issues. LOVE IS THE KEY. As you GIVE, it will be given to you in abundance. Everything isn't about money. With the current state of the world, you may want to be a little kinder. read more

China Master - Combo Fried rice: chicken, shrimp and extra onions. - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

None of us liked any of the food(me, husbands, kids), and the beverages seemed unappealing(fountain drinks).You also have to pay for parking which isn't worth it for this place at all.We have been to many Chinese fast casual restaurants like this, and this is one of the worst ones.One star off for paying for paying for this type of place, another for the bad food, and another for how everything seemed gross.I also had a dark bone or something in my boneless chicken and my husband thought he saw roaches in his food. read more

Love me some China master. Been going here since my freshman year of college and you can not beat the price or the quality. Staff is also super nice and down to earth. My favorites are the general tsos and the seasame chicken with lol mein as the side. All of this for like 8 dollars! And believe me you they will slam your to go box full. P.S. they are closed on Sundays read more

China Master - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I'm sure the food is great but I ordered togo food and saw a little thin curly hair at the lip of the container hoping it was just that-a small short hair that randomly landed there. Nope, it was a long hair that I pulled out of the container. Unfortunately, I'm the type of person that will lose their appetite over hair in food so I wasn't able to eat any of it. Makes me wonder who packs their togo orders and what the restaurant's hygiene protocol is for employees in the kitchen. A total bummer. read more

Whenever I'm downtown and need a quick convenient lunch spot I like to go to China master. Some really good "mall" Chinese. For price and portion you can't really beat this place. I got a huge serving of sesame chicken, fried rice, and lo mein for $6.59+. I'm always a little leery of fast food Chinese but this place is legit. read more

China Master - Sesame chicken, fried rice, lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Cheap but tasty mall style Chinese food. The portions are large. Great lunch spot near UAB.

Work in downtown birmingham and it's my go to place. Quality and quantity of food is always great plus staff is friendly!

Lunch today. Nothing special but the egg roll was good. Large portion but be prepared to spend 10 bucks for lunch. Usually, Chinese restaurants have lunch specials, this one doesn't. Well, there is a 7.99 deal of one type of meat but with anything else added, consider 10 bucks. Not much of a taste to me.. read more

Lunch with my coworkers are always fun. We can never decide so we just walk and pick. China Master won. I went with Lo Mein w/ 2 Meats. I chose Beef and Broccoli and Spicy Chicken. It was literally 2 lbs of food easy. I loved the noodles and both meats were delicious and tender. Not over cooked. Not too salty. No mushy over cooked vegetables. I loved it. Anddddd it's not super far from my job. I'll definitely frequent here more. The sweet tea was delicious. I was mad that I drank it so fast lol. read more

The food is awesome, my only bad thing to say is they advertise cheese wontons and I didn't expect anything but cheese, my fiancé had an allergic reaction due to crab meat! I now have spent 2 hours and counting on vacation because of the false advertising!! read more

The service and the food is so good, this establishment is so clean and that makes it even better. We can't wait to go back definitely recommend read more

Honestly my favorite Chinese food. Always friendly staff and always make sure your plate it filled to the tippy. Their general tso chicken is the move (combo 1). read more

Love this place. Good hot Asian food fast. They keep a steam table with a variety of entrees at lunch with daily specials. If you order from the menu you won't be disappointed. I have referred friends and Coworkers and they all have great things to say. No one disappointed yet. read more

If you like fast, Chinese takeout for a reasonable price in the southside of Birmingham, this is the place to go. We have been going here for years!! I love their hot and sour soup, their general tsaos chicken and their sesame chicken. The owner is super friendly and the portions are huge!!! Great for college students! read more

Please don't ever go here. Save your wallet. Save your time. Save your sanity. And please save yourself from the most disgusting food I've ever eaten. I payed $13 for sushi and they brought out this?? I've never been more horrified and because they can't speak English- it was no use trying to get my money back. On top of all this, they don't take card, and, they ask you for a tip before they hand you your ticket. read more

China Master - Sushi which had hair and feces in it. - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Love love love this place! My boyfriend took me here for the first time and it was mouth watering! I got their General Tso chicken with fried rice. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful. Not to mention they give out great portions of food. I only ate half the meal and had the rest as left overs to take to work the next day! It's a very nice location as well. Next to a lot of other good places. The employees were so generous and making jokes with us the whole time they served. I definitely left the restaurant with a big smile on my face. I highly recommend if you like Chinese food to check this place out!! read more

China Master - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

One of my favorite restaurants to go to on lunch. Their food is always hot every time I go. I love their lo mein noodles. What I love the most about this place is they keep the pans full at all times. I mean let's be honest this is downtown UAB and at that a week day. So lots of physicians, nurses, etc. are coming to grab something already made and fresh. The services are great. They get your order and you're ready to check out. They have a lot of varieties and if you don't see what you want they can cook what you like as well. read more

You really get bang for your buck with this place: they pile on the food. The chicken was delicious, as was the rice and noodles. Three bucks for a drink, however, off sets the relatively cheap meals. read more

Huge portions and great Chinese food with fast service. If you finish a entire plate you are stuffed.

Coming through town, I decided to eat here. Yelp said it was a buffet, but it was just a restaurant. I was delighted with their customer service, and attention to what I was asking. Nice place to eat for a quick lunch. read more

We had dinner here last night and it was horrible. I can honestly say it was one of the worse Chinese food we've ever had! The egg rolls were completely uneatable. We assume leftover from lunch. Outsides were just slightly crispy and inside was completely soggy and mushy. We also had bourbon chicken, sesame chicken and rice. None of it was good. The chicken was oddly greasy. Thick not crispy breading. I do NOT recommend this place at all. read more

We walked to this location from UAB hospital based on a recommendation by staff. The food was fresh and very tasty. Staff very friend. If you are not starving you might consider sharing with someone. They pile on the food! read more

China Master - Downtown at china master! - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Yesterday, my wife and I were looking for a quick lunch (I only get 30 minutes), and between us, we had had our fill of sandwiches. In fact, when she asked what I was hungry for, I said "something I have to eat with a fork." Apparently that narrowed the plethora of restaurants around UAB down to the China Master Express, which sounded good to me. My wife told me she'd call me from the restaurant after she had ordered our food. At approximately 12:15 p.m., my wife called and said she had ordered and was sitting at a table in the back of the restaurant. It took her longer to walk from her office to the restaurant than it took her to order and find a table in the restaurant. When I got to the restaurant about 10 minutes later, one of the ladies was putting our food on the table. We both got sweet and sour chicken and plain fried rice. The portions were ridiculous, and after cleaning my plate, I needed a power nap, but I had to get back to work. :( Like the previous reviewer said, you cannot go wrong with China Master for good Chinese food on the go. If you need a quick meal and are in the mood for Chinese, try China Master Express. If it's also a warm, sunny day, you can take your meal outside to a table in front of the restaurant. read more

China Master is one of my all time favorite Chinese places. Now I do have to say that parking in the area can sometimes difficult to find and the food is very much like mall Chinese food. But, that is what I love most about it! And one of the employees ALWAYS remembers who I am and is so sweet! And to not go that often and someone remembers you is just great! :) read more

Ordered at 630PM on grubhub. Said it would be delivered at 830PM. 850PM no food, grubhub reaches out and says it will be here at 908PM and then 915PM grubhub calls and said this place cancelled the order and it wasn't coming. DO NOT EAT HERE. Very disappointed. read more
