Asian Garden

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Mobile. The egg drop soup is always delicious. I enjoyed the sesame chicken while my husband had Shanghai chicken.

Lovely place for a date or a business dinner. Staff was very friendly and helpful. This was my second time eating there. I recommend this place.

I was unexpectedly impressed with my experience here. Honestly I think the vast majority of Chinese/Asian on the Alabama Gulf Coast is pig slop, so maybe my expectations have been lowered over the years, bit this place reminded me of the good Chinese I had growing up in Birmingham. Although it was all the same basic stuff you'd find anywhere, the quality of both the meats used and the sauces were a step above the local buffets and to go shops. Where most places have some generic brown flavorless sauce with the consistency of cow snot on everything, here the dishes I tried all had specific flavor profiles and the sauces were thick but not gummy. The Shanghai chicken and the General Tso's chicken, while both "fried chicken in spicy sauce" were entirely distinct from one another. Service was good, and I felt like I was being served by family instead of employees. I also really liked the sweet tea. The only letdown was one person in my party wanted a soft drink and was served a glass of ice and a can of Coke - no fountain drinks here! Overall, it's probably the best Chinese food I've had in the area and certainly leagues better than the places where I live in Baldwin County. This will definitely be worth returning to next time I cross the bay to visit Mobile.
