Located in a quaint outdoor shopping area right off I-459, China Wok is nestled between the Dollar…read moreGeneral and Nails For U. From the outside, CW is rather simple with just a large sign. The interior is dated telling me they have been there awhile. There's a smaller dinning room and a larger one that has tables and an area for their buffet. But overall it's what I would consider cramped. If the buffet gets busy, there's not much wiggle room to walk when people are at the buffet. Their menu is also standard with all the typical dishes that you would expect. In addition to a lunch buffet, they also a lunch special menu with steam or fried rice, egg roll or choice of soups, egg drop, hot & sour or wonton. Their House Specials list include the typical list of asian dishes. I don't see many ordering from the lunch menu since the All You Can Eat lunch buffet is only $12. On this Friday, the lunch buffet was very popular and busy. I have not had an asian buffet in awhile. This buffet had an impressive variety of dishes including a small sampling of desserts. They had the usual egg drop and hot and sour soup, both of which were on par. The coffee cake and fried sugar donuts were very good. There was a fried rice, lo mein and steamed rice. The bulk of the buffet were chicken dishes with a beef and veggies and a pepper shrimp dish. My favorites were the salt and pepper chicken, General tsao chicken and pepper shrimp. Yom Yom Yom! The entire restaurant could use a little more room and a facelift. The atmosphere was nice. At the peak of the lunch hour, the place was practically full with pretty much everyone at the buffet or filling to go boxes off the buffet. The servers were very helpful and prompt. For the the variety and price, this ayce buffet is hard to beat. I would definitely return when I get the chance.

Really had no intention of coming in here for dinner, but when the place we were going (Monday…read morenight) was closed we opted for these guys. As we walked up it totally has the hole in the wall vibe and we questioned if we were going to be able to eat our food at the restaurant. They did have a couple tables and we were hungry so we went for it. The pictures on the wall showed off some of the dishes/specialties and we were getting our hopes up (I know....did the pictures accurately depict the food this time?), We ordered a low mein w/chicken, chicken fried rice, and peppered chicken as well as a spring roll. Out first was the spring rolls. I'm not gonna lie about this we were a little puzzled as the looked like a fried donut. ~ Side Bar ~ This is when we realized they really aren't set up for people dining in as they brought out the app on a Styrofoam plate and a coupe napkins for us to put our food on ~~ Well we are here...let's do this! We each tried one and were totally blown away! They tasted so good and so fresh and were simply awesome! As we ate we noticed several people come in to place and/or pick up to go orders (notice I said to go orders). Next out was the rest of our food, already in to go containers. They kind of were hoping we would just pass the to go containers around and just share that way. We asked for plates and they were happy to get them for us. The lo mein was typical of any lo mein (I say that because that isn't my typical go to at Chinese). The Chicken fried rice was some of the best fried rice I've ever had. Great flavor and really didn't even need soy sauce (I love soy sauce on my friend rice). The highlight for me had to be the peppered chicken. Wow! This was one of the freshest meals I've every had at a Chinese restaurant. The veggies were still just a hint of crisp, the pepper was used to apply just the right amount of pepper heat, and the chicken tasted awesome. I would totally be for coming back to this place. This little hole in the wall packs a punch and was very much a pleasant surprise. They have some lunch specials that look really good and I want to go back to try soon. Do yourself a favor and come by here. BYOU (Bring your own utensils) as they give you the tiny sized forks and spoons...outside of that hard to beat quality, friendly staff and price. Well done!

The food is good. We order quite often. I give it a 3 star due to service. We go to this restaurant…read morebecause of location. If there was a good restaurant closer we would definitely go somewhere else. The lady that works at this location is on the not so nice side. She gets aggravated very quickly and raises the tone of her voice. When she does this she is hard to understand. I went in one time and there was a teen lady at the cash register. She didn't know how to ring something up. The rude lady came up and scolded her right in front of me Again, the food is good, but the service is what gives this location a three review.

Although we were seated first upon arrival, several other guests who arrived after us were acknowledged and had their orders taken before ours. We were not greeted properly and felt completely overlooked. To make matters worse, the cashier/hostess/greeter displayed very poor hygiene. She wiped her nose and then immediately used the same hand to touch our cup, which was disturbing and unacceptable. This raised serious concerns about cleanliness and food safety, as well as the overall sanitation of the establishment. The food was poor taste and appear to be old rice The service felt discriminatory, careless, and disrespectful. Customer service and hygiene are basic expectations, and unfortunately, this location failed in both areas. I would not recommend this establishment based on my experience.

I had zero problems with my server . I know she was told as they all were to do the silverware. Plus I have lived in Al my whole life. I know about our heat. No your place was too hot. Your food is good but your service for the most part blows. Also a guy server said something rude to me and then when I asked him what he said he said jk. It was not felt rude it was rude when I asked him to tell me again what he said he wouldn't tell me. I heard excuses . Sorry just because you have been in business a long time does not mean I have to support rudeness or a place that doesn't care about my business. **Also if you would go down through the reviews there is a common theme your service is lacking and has been for many, many years. ** Responsibility should be taken and not excuses I will not be in a hurry to come b and my money spends elsewhere.

Also, the young Owner (with his big smile) and his wife are nice people offering excellent and fast service to our community.

China Sea Is now China Garden... The food was pretty good,…read moreit was fresh and presented well for takeout. I got the sweet and sour chicken lunch special with shrimp fried rice instead of the plain fried rice that comes with the special. The cost was $12 and that's probably because I upgraded my fried rice to shrimp fried rice and the shrimp were the biggest that I've ever seen in fried rice. The food was fresh with a nice flavor. The egg roll was so good that it didn't even make it home. I called my order in and it was ready on time. The service was good, and they were friendly. The building is old so the dining area is a little old and dark...I'm not sure if I'd want eat in, but my take out experience was nice. The bathrooms were clean but had old fixtures. The only reason that I didn't give them 5 stars was because they didn't include any utensils or napkins.
