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.

Asian Garden is truly a hidden gem for anyone looking for authentic Chinese cuisine. The dishes are simply outstanding, with flavors that take you straight to China. The Cantonese Roast Duck is perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Steamed Fish is fresh, delicate, and melts in your mouth, while the Seafood Tofu Casserole is a hearty dish packed with rich flavors. The restaurant itself is spotless, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always make sure you have everything you need. If you’re a fan of authentic Chinese food or just want to experience excellent flavors, Asian Garden is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
