Best egg rolls in town hands down. Good portions, everything I want in Chinese takeout

I live almost 3 hours from here and have heard so much about this restaurant from a friend and about their chicken egg foo young. Well, today I finally got a chance to try it and it was delicious! I also had the shrimp and broccoli with fried rice. I was welcomed as soon as I came in the door. I will most definitely return here the next time I'm in the area. read more

Love this place since early 2000's my aunt took me here and loved the homemade egg rolls and shrimp egg foo young with my shrimp fried rice.

The worst food I have ever eaten. I had the lunch special, chop Suey and egg foo young. Both dishes were bland and watery. The gravy was tasteless and watery with out Chinese spices. Will never go back and would not recommend. read more

Quality seems to have declined markedly, to my dismay. Not a single bite of chicken came in my eagerly awaited chicken chow mein. Egg rolls tasted delicious as ever, but protein content has been reduced to two tiny shrimp and one teeny cube of pork or beef per roll. read more

The egg rolls are the best in city and their triple delight was amazing! I will definitely come back for more.

Best Chinese in town. Always fast, hot, fresh and best of all, delicious. They know what they're doing. read more

I love this place. The absolute best egg rolls youve ever had. I have never had anything I didnt like there. Ive been eating there forc46 years. read more

Called in order for eggrolls. 20 mins later I got there and still had to wait. Saw the cook out my order in queue for pick up. Cashier was talking 3 orders for walkins and answering phone. After she answered phone the 2nd time I loudly asked if my called in order was ready?! She gave or rather threw it in my hand and never once said "Thank You"! Customer Service is so important to me that I didn't want to eat those dang things afterwards. I got a VM the 1st time I called. Thinking they were busy I waited in a questionable parking lot to call back because I remembered I could hit one button on dashboard to call back. Cashier needs to wait on those in front of her b4 reaching for phone. They will call back like I did. They need a system to indicate when they out orders up too. If my order isn't going to be cooked until I get there, why bother? I hit brakes to avoid someone jumping in front of me. Bag slide forward and I touched eggroll with dirty hands to prevent it from hitting floor because they weren't secured in their bags nor the paper bag. My dog will enjoy that one when it cooks. Yeah not happy. How $5.95 x 2 turned into $13.83 is interesting. $11.90 plus Homewood tax doesn't come to that amount. There's no sign they charge a credit card fee otherwise I would've paid cash. I left my locked car running with my dog so I did ask. May someone will find out and let me know? read more

Awesome everything!! If I had to make a complaint on something, it would be I burned my tongue eating one of the best egg rolls in the world! Don't drive distracted they say, should have listened!! Lmao read more

Chop Suey Inn - 2025 Chop Suey Inn Menu - Chinese Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

Food is DELICIOUS!!! Some of the best egg rolls I have had here in AL.. big and stiuffed with shrimp like I am used to in New Orleans.. !!!

Chop Suey Inn is solid Chinese food. I absolutely LOVE their eggs rolls!!! Hands down some of the best in town!!! Trust me. If you come here , be patient because depending on your visit , there will be a line. If possible, I advise placing a call in order. Thank me later. My recent visit was on a Sunday evening and it was crowded. It didn't take too long to order but it took a little longer to receive my order. My order consisted of 4 egg rolls , sesame chicken with fried rice and beef fun chow (spicy). Food was extremely fresh and the portions are ridiculously huge. Sooo much food- the dinner portions can feed 5000. Lol My only knock is how tight grip they are when you ask for certain sauces. Good grief, all this food requires more than 2 sauces. I think most Chinese places have this posture. Weird. They did leave out my steamed rice with my beef fun chow .... I didn't really want it anyways. This was my first time having beef fun chow - it was enjoyable/ flavorful. I loved the hot sauce! Gave the dish the extra kick I prefer whenever I eat Chinese food. read more

I will always recommend this spot.. they are always on point. My favorite is egg rolls and shrimp fried rice.

CONSISTENCY FOR MANY YEARS ! We have been picking up Chinese food from Chop Suey Inn for 30 plus years and it's always delicious! If they ever figured it out and let customers order online and or get food delivered ((( or sell Crispy Duck ))) they would shut down all other Chinese Restaurants! read more

If you don't like egg rolls but you haven't had the egg rolls here, then you don't really know if you like egg rolls. These are fresh! It's said by those who know that these are as good as those of Birmingham's first Chinese restaurant, the legendary Joy Young's. I've been coming here for over forty years JUST for the egg rolls. 3 for $5.45. I would strongly suggest you stick to take out here. This place started as take out only with no a la carte menu. They just had dinners for groups as in Dinner for 2, 4 etc. Then it was known for the huge portions of mandarin style Chinese American and even more well know for the impatience and brusqueness of the owner-operator. Not much has changed as far as the service goes. You should know what you want and don't ask any questions. They don't like questions. They don't serve ice water. Don't ask. They added a large dining room several years ago, but it's not welcoming- and DO NOT use the restroom here. You have been warned. It really has all the charm of a hot dog stand. Today, (late October 2022) only 6 tables out of ~20 had the chairs on the floor. It's not really fair for me to review the food here as I don't like this style of Americanized "Chinese" food. It reminds me of what we thought Chinese cuisine was in the 1960's. What was that brand of chicken chow mein your mother could buy in a CAN and warm it up on the night she ran out of Hamburger Helper? Ok-That's probably an exaggeration, as any restaurant surviving this long has to be doing something right besides their sublime egg rolls. I really can't recommend anything other than the egg rolls here. I usually regret ordering anything other than the egg rolls. I haven't ordered the family dinner in many years. Why 5 stars? Because the egg rolls are as real as it gets! Come for the egg roll, but don't eat them here. Eating them in your car in parking lot does me just fine. read more

the best eggrolls in the world. i have been eating here for years and i have never had anything that i did not like.

Our go to take out. Food is solid but egg rolls are next level. Order ahead by phone to avoid the wait.

This place is always a favorite. The egg rolls are the best in Birmingham. Shrimp fried rice has been my go to for about 15-20 years. I don't like their Mongolian chicken, but everything else I've had there is great read more

The Chop Suey Inn has been on my radar for a while now. One of my Chinese friends recommended it. I respect his knowledge of Chinese cuisine, and not just because he's speaks the language. He told me this was the original Chinese restaurants in Birmingham, and they do a nice job on some traditional dishes. He also added that it was cheep. First impressions is the restaurant is much larger then it appears from the outside. It is a no frills, counter-order style restaurant. The decor is very dated, and it reminded me of my childhood. My mom and dad used to drag us to places like this. They were very simple, family-run places. The parents were typically first generation immigrants who worked hard to make a better life. They were not sophisticated restaurants; more like the Chinese version of the short-order grill. My grandfather cooked in a place like this in St. Louis. We affectionately referred to it as the "takee outee". So, David L and I stopped by for lunch on Friday. David ordered the Shrimp and Broccoli from the lunch menu. It was a huge portion, and David said it was okay but nothing special. I ordered the Beef Chow Fun (spicy) from the regular dinner menu. Again the portion was huge. I thought it was above average. The flat noodles had the right texture and overall the dish had a nice flavor. I appreciated the is dish was not too greasy from the stir-fry oil. My curiosity was worth the visit. read more

Came here at the recommendation of a Chinese friend. The owners speak Cantonese, so I knew that they could throw down some real southern Chinese cuisine, despite what the Americanized dishes show on the menu. I've come here twice now. The first time, I ordered the Cantonese chow mein, and the second time, I ordered the beef chow fun. Both were great. Very flavorful with an authentic taste. Also, the bang for the buck is real here. $10 easily gets you 2-3 meals. This place seems to stay busy, so be prepared to wait a little bit for your food. read more

Food was great again, went through a not so good period but they have come back strong

I have been coming to Chop Suey Inn since the '90s. Back then my sister and I lived in the area and this was our weekly takeout spot. Today, I will drive across the county just for the egg rolls. They are literally the best I've ever had. The homemade sweet and sour sauce for dipping is the perfect compliment. read more

I got the special lo mein which consists of noodles, beef, chicken, pork, and veggies, and an egg roll. Everything thing was hot and tasty. The only thing I'd change about the lo mein is the beef. They put way too much beef in mine. Next time I visit I'm just gonna ask for chicken and shrimp on my lo mein. read more

A Birmingham must try! I have been eating their food since 1984. They always provide mistake proof orders. It's a take out place, so for a date night plan to eat their great food some place else. read more

Found this place after trying to go to another Chinese restaurant across the street, but they were closed. I got on yelp to see reviews about this place and they were pretty good. I came late afternoon and luckily there was no line and only 2 ppl waiting. The egg rolls had a lot of great reviews but they were just OK to me. Definitely over hyped. The shrimp fried rice was pretty good. Had plenty of. But the star for me was the crispy shrimp with spicy pepper salt. The seasoning on it and the the green onion topping was delicious. But most of the seasoning is on the breading on the shell, so unless you're going to eat the shell, you have to peel shrimp. But either way, I would definitely get them again. read more

Tried the egg rolls and an order of fried dumplings. The egg rolls were good, but not great. I may try them again. The dumplings were meh. I have yet to have decent dumplings in Birmingham. read more

I think, they have the best egg rolls in the south. The menu is a delicacy. A diamond in the rough.

Year after year, This place is still amazing and the food is still as delicious as the first time I tasted it. This family owned restaurant has amazing food at the best prices! The portion are large. Just make sure you call your order in ahead of time so you don't have to wait in line. read more

We love Chop Suey Inn & get a "Dinner for Two" take-out when we are in B'ham. The food is delicious & so much that it lasts us several days. Many wint remember but the recipes taste exactly like Joy Young's. If u wbr a good deal & good food, get a Chop Suey Inn take out. Yum! read more

I was super impressed with the level of quality here. Tons of fresh veggies and I could taste and see the garlic in the Chicken with broccoli. I also, appreciated that they didn't load it with sugar and grease like other places. With that said this is a very standard American Chinese food but done right. The hot and sour soup is the best in town. You have to try it. They don't skimp on the ingredients or portions here. The prices are more reasonable then other places. You pay about .75 less and I hope they keep it that way because I will come back. With that said it's not a fancy eat in establishment. It's more of a take out joint. read more

I gave this place 5 stars because you simply can't beat it for the price. We've been going here for years and the food here is definitely better than any of the nearby Chinese restaurants. And, of course, their egg rolls are legendary! read more

Food is amazing and the portion size justifies the prices. Best thing to get is the beef chow fun.

This place looks like a hole in the wall, but this is definitely a Chinese food staple in Homewood. You can't go wrong with their Mongolian chicken, fried rice, and egg rolls! A truly great taste! Pro tip: ask for your order in styrofoam to get more food for the same price! read more

A very good take out meal experience. I had sweet and sour pork. Very good. The pork was the most tender of any sweet and sour pork I have ever had. My wife had the shrimp fried rice. She said it was very good. Loaded with shrimp. We also had egg rolls, which were good. Caters to takeout. Enjoyable experience. We will be back! read more

This is not the fanciest or hipster place but what it lacks it makes up for in food quantity and flavor, you will not be under feed here. Everything is great but the interaction of the staff with each other is why it gets the fifth star. We call it dinner and a show while standing in line. The steamed dumplings are a choice favorite and a extremely good bargain. With the exception of China town in Boston this is the place to eat... read more

I had just about given up hope of ever experiencing the delicious food that Chop Suey Inn served for many, many years. For the past few years the food was mostly inedible for my taste. I don't know what happened, but let me tell you, THEY ARE BACK. Been twice in the past two months and enjoyed every morsel. Food is fresh and cooked to order. Will even do so without MSG upon request. Everything is seasoned perfectly. Someone heard my prayers and/or complaints. Just finished my last two egg rolls and Shrimp Egg Foo Young. Yummy. read more
