    E8. Mongolian Beef
    Ranita S.

    Quality is good portions were really small except for the soup for two. My sister barely eats but we were still kind of hungry after eating here Service was okay Prices were way too expensive for the amount of food that we got

    Honey...they are not playing with coronavirus. They have a partition built that is keeping their employees safe from the customers that come in. You cannot dine in here currently. The tables and chairs are stacked up and pushed against the walls. You do need a mask because that is this business's policy. I have passed this place many times. I'm not sure why it took me until yesterday to finally stop by. I ordered Crab Rangoon and Lo Mein. I asked them to make my Lo Mein spicy and they definitely delivered on that! My food was pleasantly spicy. It was so good that I didn't add any sauce. That's a big deal. My entire family enjoyed all the food we ordered. My husband is very picky about Chinese food and he has stated that it's our new spot. After he said that, there was nothing I could give them but a 5 star rating.

    While on the hunt for a good Chinese option in the area, I came across Mr. Chen's. With pretty good reviews, I decided to give them a try. I have been to Mr. Chen's on 3 occasions and have tried: Mongolian Beef, General Tso's Chicken, and Curry Chicken. Each dish was delicious. Mongolian Beef and General Tso's are a couple of go-to items for me. After those were a hit on my first two visits, I decided to try something different on the third. The Curry Chicken was delicious. It is marked as "spicy" but not very much spice but still a very flavorful dish. I would definitely order again. The egg rolls were really fresh and delicious as well. The first two visits were around 1 PM. The third visit was at 8:00 PM so close to closing time but still a fresh and delicious meal. The one thing I would caution is to carefully check your order before leaving. On the 2nd visit, there was no shrimp sauce in the bag which I did order. The 3rd visit I was missing an extra order of steamed rice. The food was so good I didn't want to dock a star. Also I checked the bag each time and didn't notice the missing items until I was home. SMH. So that part is also on me. Like I said, the taste of the food made up for the missing shrimp sauce and rice. Also, the portion of rice was more than enough so the extra rice was not needed. Mr. Chen's is now my go to Chinese place!

    If I go out for Chinese food this is where I go. I have eaten here quite often and tried a lot of their dishes. Very rarely do you have to wait for a table. And the service is usually quick. and the pricing is good. My favorite of the Hot Pot dishes are the Eggplant with pork and basil, and the Basil Chicken. My regular dish favorites are Mongolian beef, General Tsaos chicken, and so many more. The food has always been good. Except when I tried an authentic Chinese soup that contained tripe, quail eggs, many types of mushroom, and some other non recognizable things. As I said this is my 'go to' for Chinese food

    I would rate our visit as a 3.7. The food was good and so was the service. Good for a quick lunch or takeout.

    Casual atmosphere and love going to the attached market. Attentive service. They were accommodating…read moreto our large party and gave us a table with a lazy Susan. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Loved the hot and sour soup, jalapeño beef and Mongolian beef. The tofu noodles had an amazing texture. The eggplant in garlic sauce was surprisingly delicious to me as a meat lover and was actually one of my favorite dishes.

    I will most definitely try this place again !!…read more They had many dishes right up our alley not americanized. So if you want boring food this place is NOT for you. We got so many things to start with Coconut water rice cake. Yes it does have the consistency of a sponge cake. It was good! I also got some Panda red bean buns. Cute and also good! For drinks: Sake, Taro bubble milk tea, and a Thai milk tea. We tried Winter Melon and clam soup For my entree I got Chicken with Lotus root which I enjoyed, My husband got crispy intestine . (My husband said he has never had it done that well-clean taste ) I tried it and it was ok. My son got the Szechuan style sautéed brisket and he ate it up ! To go yep we got sautéed pork belly and eggplant, pork, & basil . Both were also good. The waiter worked his bum off and we gave him a good tip. The only complaint were the young boys working up front who weren't friendly and acted like working was killing them. Why I didn't give you a 5! Otherwise you would have deserved it !!! All the food was delicious! Now on to the market - I like this better than the hometown market why they have many things I haven't seen including Jin noodles I have been looking everywhere for!!!! We bought many things to try including cucumber, orange, and what I thought was Mango potato chips. Nope it was abalone ! Not so good but the orange was good Of course Jin noodles , tiramisu mochi, banana milk rice snacks(yum) , tamarind drink, orange pepper spice, and chili crisp Our cashier though was joyless . Would I go back to both ? Yes I would!!

So we were biting on chunks of ice, which was not enjoyable. Although we had that issue we would go back again and let them know what happened. The ambiance is casual and the service was fine. The tapioca pearls had a great texture and size, and I enjoyed the taro flavor.

    It's my mission to check out at least one boba shop whenever I travel, here was my experience…read more AMBIANCE: Parking: It's in a plaza. We didn't have much issues as there was a lot of space. Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business.
