Mr Chen's has great food, much better than any other food we've tried in Birmingham. (ok, we PF"s better but it is super pricey) We tried the orange chicken and it was ok but everything else was very good. The egg rolls we great and so was the chicken fried rice.The prices are reasonable. My children loved that they wrote the name of the food, on the take out boxes, in chinese. They compared the writing to the take out menu. Fun.

My family and I have lived in Taiwan and China for many years and know real Chinese cooking when we taste it. We have eaten at many chinese restaurants in the Birmingham area and have found most of them to be only mediocre at best (in the Chinese vernacular, "ma-ma hu-hu"). Mr. Chen's has the best authentic Chinese cuisine we have eaten in Alabama. And now they are offering "hot pot," a wonderful cultural dining experience. Get ready Mr. Chen, we are coming back for more.
