We've lived near by for a long time and picked up from China Doll 2 for the first time. All the food was well prepared and tasty. Prices are reasonable. Good experience. Will definitely go again.

The people were very friendly but the buffet bar was not well refreshed and the choices were terribly limited. What was there just wasn't very good either.
The food was average but the price is right. I had the $6.00 buffet and the food was pretty good the chicken skewers were dry but tasted good
First of all, Ms Sue is just the sweetest person and it’s her restaurant. We order take out frequently, and every time my husband calls to order, Ms Sue recognizes him. When he picks up the order, Ms Sue always asks about the family. The...food is consistently good. Not fancy, but good. They have a buffet during the week that’s nice for lunch. We’ve eaten China Doll 200+ times in the last 14 years and have never had a bad meal....take out or dining in.More
Love the place. This is authentic Chinese food. Very tasty very inexpensive. They have a lunch buffet or order off the menu. Most dinner entrees priced less than $10.00. Lunch entrees less than $7.00. Really enjoyed the service and the great tasting food...
We have been patrons of China Doll for years. We love the fresh food, large portions, and friendly service at China Doll. Don't be deceived by the quiet dining room at this restaurant. They do an incredible amount of take-out business because the food is...great and it has been great every time we have ordered. We love this restaurant so much that they are programmed into our cell phones for easy ordering. Our favorites, are General Tso's Chicken, Beef with Broccoli, Egg Fu Yung, Moogoo Gai Pan, and the Lo Mein.More
We love to get take out at China Doll 2. Problem is deciding what to get. Everything is delicious and still hot when we get home with it. Very friendly and accommodating service. I love the hot and sour soup, egg rolls and any of...the hot and spicy dishes.More
I almost didn't want to share this jewel. It's not crowded yet and the service is excellent as is the food. My wife and I had the dinner for two. Very reasonable price! I got my usual kung pow chicken and she ordered Mongolian Beef....We got fried rice. Everything was top notch! It began with the best hot and sour soup I have ever had. Very spicy, but not too hot, served with non-greasy crunchies. Her egg drop soup was pretty good too. I stole a couple of spoonfuls. The crab rangoon was excellent, but the eggroll was just cabbage. Tasty, but a bit of a dissapointment, soon made up for by the entree. The rice was perfect, as was the chicken. I didn't get any beef yet, but she said it was very good. We'll be back, hopefully before it gets crowded!More
I think the service is excellent. But I think you get what you give here. If you are rude you shouldn't be expected to be treated as royalty. Those writing negative reviews should try the old "treat people the way you want to treated" and...see if their service improves.More
This is the best Chinese buffet in the Birmingham area. Food is always fresh and well prepared. Service is friendly and prices reasonable.
We went to China Doll 2 with a large group. The restaurant was not crowded at the time that we arrived. We were seated quickly and served promptly. The food was varied and all served at the right temperature. Everyone was pleased with their selection....This restaurant does not use MSG and they also cook with less oil and less salt. We were all very pleased and we will return.More
We are regulars for good reason! The owners and operators are VERY friendly! Take-out is super easy and always HOT and delicious! We love chinese food and have tried most places in town. They have the best hot and sour soup! We have ever had...a bad dish at China Doll 2! Our favorite dish is the Mongolian Beef and the Hot Spicy Garlic Beef or Chicken. Yummy!More
We are regulars for all the right reasons. Their main draw is lunch but we go for evening dinner. Most times, there won't be two full tables at 6:00. They do a ton of takeout. The owners are super friendly and the service is fast....Food is always good. Sunday nights are our favorite. This time Hayden served us up with Mandarin Chicken and egg rolls. One entree and two egg rolls are usually plenty for two people. About $15. You can't beat it. Enjoy.More
I live near China Doll 2, but had never eaten there. So I tried the lunch buffet. Someone said to be sure and get there early so it's not dried out. But mine was very good. The sweet and sour soup was one of my...favorites around. And everything else following in acceptable flavor. Even though I chose to eat the buffet, and not from the menu, the server checked on me often to see if my experience was pleasant. It was indeed. And now that the antique mall is located next to them, I will be eating there more often!More
I moved from Birmingham from Boston 8 years ago, wonderful place to live but good Chinese food? Nope, nothing, nada...until we found China Doll 2. One of those small, strip mall, Chinese places - aren't they always the best? The food is great whether you...get take out or have the lunch buffet. The owner is sweet and you will get to meet her because she is always there. Looking for great Chinese in the south - don't miss China Doll 2.More
