    General Tso Fish
    Katie J.

    Had an excellent lunch with a friend here the other day! I ordered the Thai Beef with Basil and they had the General Tso Fish. My meal was the lunch special so it came with a cup of soup (I got Egg Drop) and an egg roll. The egg drop soup was delicious, light with a tasty broth. The egg roll was also very good, with a crisp wrapper and an even mix of meat and shredded veggies inside, with some orange dipping sauce that complemented it perfectly. My beef with basil was SO good, the only thing I didn't like was the rather bland fried rice served with it. I will ask for steamed rice next time. My friend did not enjoy his fish at all, he stated it tasted like a frozen cod fish filet covered in sauce, and one bite confirmed his assessment. I'm still giving 4 stars because I enjoyed my meal, the service was impeccable, and the prices were reasonable. Will go back!

    It's the best Chinese food in Alabaster point blank. Is it Authentic? No Is it Americanized yep But almost every Chinese restaurant is the same. (In Alabaster) (in that regard) Got to go to Hoover for true Chinese not Americanized) I have been coming here since it opened and it's consistently good. I have my favs Lemongrass chicken and potstickers. Son's favorite is General Tso. I miss the basil rolls :( The hot and sour soup was tasty. I will continue to come here . I have tried other places well once upon a time and They were lacking in flavor. I love the Coconut soup which I will get when it gets cooler. New Waitress was on point and she got tipped well! So for a local place it's the best you are going to find . Alabaster let's face it doesn't have many options in the international food department which is sad . (I mean something more than Mexican food which we have a crap ton)

    One of the better Chinese places in the area. The Mongolian dishes are the best. The sizzling rice soup is good.

    Not pictured were the pad Thai wings and the zaap wings! Must get. The lychee cocktail was good…read moretoo, but could've used some lemon

    Another excellent addition your list of Thai restaurants in Birmingham!…read more They've only been there for 6 years and I finally made it. Even though I didn't dine in, I appreciated the beautiful decor and the attention to detail. Gone from their early days during the pandemic when they were take out only to their newly renovated and larger dining area. There's nice bar with stools nearly centered in the restaurant. Employees are more friendly than you can imagine. Located on 280 near the Greystone entrance, YYST is on the right in a small quaint strip shopping area that's raised "above" 280. So if you're driving by you can see YYST by looking up. There's no outdoor seating, but plenty of tables and chairs inside with seating at the bar. They are quite proud of their Yelpies 2025 award for "Beloved Birmingham Business" which sits at the front entrance. Their menu is comprehensive with the right amount of dishes to satisfy. Every "Thai" place seems to have their own take on most dishes and YYST is no different. Their "recommended" entrees include Mango fish, Pad Thai Chakangrao, Massamun Short Rib, Pad Thai Wings and Panang New York Strip. Then they also have "Signature Plates" whose menu descriptions had my mouth watering. There's also stir fry, curries, salads, and even a lunch menu. Since I wasn't dining, I was going to do my litmus test and try their version they call Beef Drunken Uncle noodle. I also ordered their Fresh Basil Shrimp Rolls, and Bangkok market fried rice. I waited at the bar for about 10 minutes when my packaged meals arrived. I was offered a glass of cool water as I waited at the bar. The rolls were wrapped in saran wrap and I would guess were probably made a couple of days ago. Nothing wrong with that except I got unlucky and rice paper wrapper was almost crunchy. They were a little heavy on the use of lettuce, but each had 4 large fresh shrimp. The taste wasn't anything spectacular BUT their version of the dipping peanut sauce saved it. Yom Yom Yom! The fried rice was delicious. Tossed in a wok with eggs, onions, chinese broccoli and their house sauce, I had beef added as the protein and it was delicious. My Drunken noodle was very good! This traditional street food inspired dish is a classic. Wide noodles tossed with snap beans, garlic, onions, bell peppers with thai chili and basil, their version is quite good! It had great flavor and an excellent representation of the drunken noodle. Next time I might have to pay extra for a fried egg on top. Yom Yom Yom Yom! I'm glad I finally visited YYST. I am looking forward to returning and this time dining in. The Panang New York Strip and Mango Fish have my name on them!

    I'm really sorry to say this. I don't normally do negative reviews, honestly. I moved to Alabaster…read morethree months ago and I've given this place two tries. The first time was a "spicy" chicken dish that you don't normally see on local menus. I even requested that it was made extra spicy. It had ZERO spice. And the vegetables did not match the dish description on their "order online" website. The steamed dumplings had no flavor and the dumpling sauce was also watery. I tried them again tonight, just to see if maybe it was a bad day the first time around. I ordered a combo plate that comes with an entree with fried rice and an eggroll. I paid $2 extra to upgrade my rice to lo-mein. I got home and... They gave me fried rice. My entree was sweet and sour pork and the oil they fried it in was so old that my whole house now smells like old, dirty, fishy smelling fryer oil. Sorry. I gave you two tries and you didn't hit the mark either time. Never again.

    Great local place. Always had fast friendly service and good food. I always order from the…read morecombination plates since they include choice of either steamed white rice or fried rice, and an egg roll. My favorite is the Mongolian Beef (pictured), which is pretty good. The other dish I tend to get is the House Fried Rice which is a good size portion. Others in the house have gotten a d likes the Honey Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, and most recently the Mongolian Chicken (pictured). They also use great containers for their to go orders. Great to reuse to send leftovers with the college kids.
