Rocket City’s Chinese food is fast, family-friendly, and increasingly authentic, thanks to the draw of tech and university folks from around the world.
1. New China Grill & Buffet
Known for a massive, always-fresh buffet with lo mein, General Tso’s chicken, dumplings, sautéed greens, and sushi.
Families love the variety and the price, while young professionals appreciate the speedy service and clean, modern dining room.
For quantity and quality, New China is tough to beat.
2. Big Bowl
Perfect for quick, casual meals, Big Bowl is a favorite among students and Redstone Arsenal techies.
The menu leans on spicy dishes, like fiery kung pao shrimp and peanut chicken, and portions are huge for the price.
Service is reliably quick—your food will be ready almost before you finish ordering.
3. Viet Cuisine
Primarily Vietnamese, but their Chinese menu is a hidden gem.
Standout dishes include pork egg rolls, BBQ pork buns, and flavorful fried rice, providing a delicious hybrid for diners seeking variety in one place.
4. Hunan Chinese Restaurant
Off-the-beaten-path but beloved by locals, Hunan serves all the favorites—Mongolian beef, crispy chicken wings, and fresh stir-fried veggies.
The interior is simple, but the kitchen never misses: everything’s fresh, hot, and full of flavor.
5. Ding How II
A more upscale choice for special occasions or larger family get-togethers.
The decor is elegant, the service attentive, and the menu is extensive: try their claypot eggplant, shrimp fried rice, or anything from the chef’s seasonal specials.
