I'm talking about a little hole in the wall place in Bluff Park, AL called New China. I've been going there since I was a kid (also, I think, since the place opened) and have gone back at least a couple times a month ever since. If you go there at lunch time the place will be packed out with everyone wanting to snatch up one of the delicious and cheap as hell lunch specials. My favorite thing on the menu is still the sesame chicken, but I've eaten most of the items on the menu at one time or another and have liked everything I've ever gotten from there. They also have the best fried dumplings I've ever had, period. Damn, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. But seriously, to drive my point home, check out my lunch from earlier today:
Sesame chicken, fried rice, egg roll, and hot and sour soup with some crispy noodles. Know how much this cost me? SIX BUCKS with tax. That's cheaper than McDonald's and a whole hell of a lot better. The place and food are not fancy by any means, but every time I go there I get awesome Chinese food fast and cheap which for me is a winning combination. If you are in the Birmingham area you definitely need to check this place out. It is G-E-W-D gewd. They don't have a website but here's a link to their Urbanspoon page, which as of right now has 386 votes with 97% thumbs up. Try it and you'll see why.
I'll explain more about my current situation when I have time.
