From the start! The restaurant is beautiful. The girl at the desk was friendly and nice. Food came out ready Togo faster than quoted. When I got it home it was still piping hot and smelled delicious! And it was delicious! Best Chinese food I have had in years! So glad it isn't far from where I am moving to and can't wait to try more delicious food from them! Yum! read more

The locals think the food is good but if you are use to eating good Chinese food from outside Scottsboro. This food will only disappoint you. read more

This has been a consistently good restaurant for over 30 years. I ate here for the first time in many years as I live out of town. Good service, good food, and a clean environment. Not a bad spot. read more

Good food for a reasonable price! My wife and I eat here many times a year. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Ordered off the lunch menu at lunch time. Waitress said nothing about them not having a lunch menu today. Let us order from the lunch menu like we do every time we go there. We pointed at what we wanted on the lunch menu. Was charged extra for soup that was included with the meals. Soup bowls were half full. Was not given our egg rolls we ordered included with our meals. Was given lunch portions but charged for dinner portions. One of us was served the wrong meal, and had to send it back. Ordered vegetables and was given beef. Overcharged by $20.00. Cashier would not fix all the errors. Somewhat rude. We eat here every week. But this visit makes me not want to come back. Didn't leave a tip for the first time in my life to make up for some of what I was overcharged. Usually we leave a 25 percent tip. Ruined our day. Don't open if you can not give good service and quality food. Terrible. Nightmare. read more

There are menu options for people that don't like Americanized Asian cuisine, just be selective and ask questions. I did and I was pleasantly surprised. However, they do cater to a specific market and clientele who aren't all that discerning - it's hard to know what you've never been exposed to. That's not a slam on the community, but it is an awareness raiser! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here and loved that it is a nice, sit down Chinese restaurant. We asked the waitress what the most popular dinners were and got the egg rolls, hot and sour soup, Orange Chicken and Spicy Chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful and well-plated. Service was fantastic. read more

See all

They have great service and my family loves coming in to get food from them. We love ordering dinner for two mobile orders they always make sure our food is hot and ready to go. read more

I work in the same shopping center as Kim San. It is my go to lunch when I don't bring something from home. Not only is it convenient for me but the food is always delicious! For lunch I always have the shrimp fried rice. It comes with a egg roll and it always hits the spot. I would also put their hot and sour soup up against anyone's in the state! Great atmosphere and friendly service. read more

Great sesame chicken and great lomean beef. I wish the fried rice had more eggs and vegetables. Over all is good.

This place was awesome! First they are doing dine in, the place is really clean and following covid protocols. I had the hot and sour soup, this is just as good if not better than my favorite place in Louisiana. I also had the beef with vegetables it was seasoned perfectly, plenty of veggies and beef. I noticed they were doing a hefty amount of call in orders so they are doing something right! read more

The hot n sour soup needs a little improvement. The hunan chicken & the sweet n sour chicken were both amazing! Egg rolls were on point! The service was fast & friendly. read more

When you walk in, it's everything you expect in your prepackaged Asian restaurant. Wood carvings, fish tanks, murals, dragon statues and Buddhas. The service isn't particularly consistent, it's been good, but I'm going to review it based on my last experience, because that reflects the most recent version of things. This particular time there was hardly anyone here, it was pre-pandemic. I never really have an issue with a server when things happen beyond their control, but in spite of what appeared to be an almost completely empty floor, the whole dining experience of getting my wife and I an appetizer, soups and entrees, took around an hour and a half. Not one bit of explanation, or much attendance in the way of our drink refills either. Now, that aside, the food is good, I love their curry fried rice and cream cheese wontons when I want to push the pescatarian boundary instead of being vegetarian. Overall, they're a good place, but they disappointed me with customer service last time. I'll still eat their food, but I might stick with take out. read more

Their rice is awful!!!! We were recommended by someone, but we did not like it at all. It is cheap, but you get what you pay for!

I use to love Kim San! Their hot and sour soup was the best I've ever had. But the last 2 or 3 times we've gotten take out, it wasn't good. First time, I thought that everybody has an off day here and there. The second time, it wasn't any better. It has been a while but I thought I'd try it again. This 3rd time it was terrible. I couldn't even eat the shrimp. They were mushy. I threw them in the trash. The beef was ok but some pieces had terrible gristles. The brown sauce was so thick. The vegetables were ok. The hot and sour soup was not soup. It was so thick it was more like gravy. Last but not least, the egg roll was so greasy, I had to go wash my hands when I took the egg roll out of the package. I didn't eat that either. I do believe I can mark Kim San off my list. It's a shame because they use to be so good! read more

Easily the best Chinese restaurant in Scottsboro. They have won the best of the best for over thirty years in a row for a reason.

This is one of my favorite plain ol' restaurants. Very nice, not fancy. Food is pretty consistently good to very good. Service is good to excellent. The menu is huge and nicely varied. Easy to get to, comfortable, family-friendly, nice for a date, overall a very good value. That said, sometimes one or two of the elements doesn't make it up to par. Last week, our food was very, very tasty. Our service was friendly and attentive - even the busperson asked how we were doing and dropped everything to refill our sodas. The house sweet white was yummy. But.... the cheese-filled wontons were cold. Hm. Favorites - orange chicken and orange beef are GREAT. Love the way they cook their tofu - they do the chewy-on-the-outside trick for a lot of their dishes. Their egg foo yung is too tasty. My son is a huge fan of their pork fried rice and they usually cook shrimp very nicely for a plain ol' family restaurant. Not a fan of the vegetarian spicy tofu in brown sauce (think it's called farmer's delight or something). Their idea of spicy, by the way, isn't too, so don't be afeared. Give them a shot. I hope D.S. went on a night when the cook was on vacation and I went on a night when the wontons were, well, I dunno, something. I'm just about sure they'll be back on their game the night you take your family. Oh - and they're open holidays (or used to be) for those of you just moving into town Thanksgiving weekend! read more

I was down in Scottsboro visiting friends and they brought me here for dinner. They have an excellent dinner special that is less than $25 for a four course meal for two. We had egg drop soup, cheese wontons, Sesame and General Tso's chicken, and cheesecake. Everything was fresh and delicious. The cheesecake was surprisingly fantastic!! I also really enjoyed the atmosphere inside the restaurant. read more

This was very good food. I'm unsure if they offer delivery but it want far from the motel. They have take out only right now and the set up is very good for social distancing. read more

Always good. Good service as well and that's a rarity these days. Prices good as well

My husband and I have a Valentine's Day tradition of getting Chinese takeout and watching a movie at home. This V-Day, I decided to try Kim San for dinner. I made the mistake of not calling ahead, so when I got to the restaurant I had to wait about 30 minutes for my food to be ready. I can't be upset about that, because I should have known better. Anyways, the food ended up being really good. I had sesame chicken with fried rice. I was a little disappointed with the portion sizes--the amount of chicken was fine, but they didn't give me very much rice. My husband had the same experience with his noodles. The taste of the food was really good, though. When I was in the restaurant, I looked around and it seemed like it would be a nice place to eat. It's a little nicer than your standard small-town Chinese restaurant. I would really like to try this place again--and next time I'll call ahead. read more

We are from out of town and found this restaurant on YELP. This is by far the BEST CHINESE food I have ever tasted and I am very picky about Chinese food. It reminds me of a PF Chang's but was way better. Food was so fresh and cooked to order. We had the Mongolian Beef and Chicken and I promise you will not regret stopping here to eat! Will be back before heading out of town back Home! read more

Nothing special. Wife had shrimp with lobster sauce which was bland and tasteless. Al's had many ingredients you normally don't find in that dish. I had sweet and sour pork. Again, nothing special and not very tasteful. read more

Better more flavorful food than 90% of the Chinese places I have tried. Quick efficient service. We had the two meal deal for $21. read more

Kim San - Chinese Near Me - Scottsboro, Alabama

Excellent Chinese cuisine. Deliciously prepared, no soy sauce needed. At first, I couldn't find my favorite dish on the menu so my waiter spoke to the chef. He returned with a sample and It was exactly what I wanted! Quiet, relaxing atmosphere, beautiful decor! I highly recommend this place! read more

Really the best Hot and Sour Soup - even better than PF Changs. Ordered the Honey Chicken which was also really great, accompanied with Fried Rice. The 2 for 19.95 is an awesome deal. No way we could finish everything! We had plenty of leftovers plus dessert. Service and food was super quick. If we lived in the area, we would make this a regular! read more

Delicious I get chicken lo mein it's the best with the sweet n sour soup best Chinese food ever.

Best Chinese food in Scottsboro. Best Hot & Sour Soup in the WORLD. I have been visiting Kim-San Chinese Restaurant since the early 90's back when the "Jackson Square" (strip mall) contained Wal-Mart, Movie Galley, Shoe Shoe, and more business that are either now defunct or have moved. It was my first Chinese food experience and I loved it so much I have always gone back. The food has always been consistently good, wait staff is friendly and the prices cannot be beat. A lunch special plate with entree, fried rice, eggroll (or extra rice, free per request), and a bowl of soup (get the hot and sour, seriously!) with drink costs less than $6! In my travels I have ate tons of "American" Chinese food and "True" Chinese food, yet I have never, ever found a single restaurant that serves hot & sour soup that even comes close to Kim-Sans recipe. Check it out, you will be glad you did. read more

Really great food and the people are so nice sweet funny and personable. Great prices! read more

THE BEST Chinese food I have had in a long time! I come from a couple of hours away to eat here! The hot and sour soup is amazing! I always take a large bowl of it home. read more

Really good old school Chinese. It's not the typical sugar coated buffet Chinese. Hot and Sour Soup is the best around. My wife and I have been eating here off and in for nearly 20yrs. read more

Kim San - Hot and Sour Soup is the best around. - Chinese Near Me - Scottsboro, Alabama

I eventually had to try this place to finish my "whirlwind" tour of the two Asian places in Scottsboro. The prices are decent - everything except the specialties are $5-10. -- Beef Chow Fun - I'm not sure if they misheard me, but I ended up with stringy rice noodles instead of the flat fun noodles. Shredded lettuce, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and beef with garlic and MSG. (Upon further review of the menu, there's no explicit statement saying "No MSG.") -- Fried Rice - The rice wasn't dry enough and still sticky. Its good for business to be the only Chinese place in town. read more

What good can I not say about this place? If you like egg drop soup, you haven't had it until you've had it here. We frequent this restaurant very often. The food is great and the service is second to none. This place is great. You gotta try it. read more

This has become my favorite restaurant in Scottsboro. As others have mentioned, the hot and sour soup is awesome! I just ordered some to go due to the cold, wet weather predicted for tomorrow... My wife and I get the "dinner for two" special on a regular basis. Try it out when you are in the area. read more

Wonderful service ! Would suggest them changing their cooking oil because my food had the taste of old oil. Vey clean and great service!!!

I love Kim San. I've been eating their food since I was a little girl. Their wanton soup is my #1 favorite compared to the rest of Chinese restaurants. The food here is always super yummy read more

This is the place to go for pork fries rice and the soups are absolutely delicious. We usually get take out and our food is always hot&ready. The staff is helpful, friendly and we are always greeted with a smile. When we do get the chance to dine in, the experience is always enjoyable! Our food is served promptly and we never feel rushed. Definitely a favorite. read more

Great atmosphere, perfect service and food. We did the two meals for $21.95. My wife had garlic shrimp and I had the pepper steak. The meals started with tempura shrimp and wonton soup. All food came out hot, nothing was cold. Cooked to order. Soft music played in the background, fish swam in the beautiful aquarium and the light was dimmed to a comfortable level. Our waitress checked on us at appropriate times. This was a great find considering there was nothing else open in this town. read more

I'm originally from Scottsboro and my family and I have been coming here for years! Wonderful food, service, and staff!

My wife and I recently went back from Nashville to eat here. Still the best Chinese I have ever had. The best hot and sour soup on the planet. The people here are always nice and greet you with a smile. The place is an older place and the Decore is still that of the 90s but it is always clean and the food is great, hot, fast and does not leave you feeling bad. I wish this place would branch out, because the food is never frozen, it is fresh and it is as close to authentic as you will find anywhere close by. Most of the Chinese restaurants in Nashville do not even come close. Best of the Best!!!! read more
