Very friendly and personal service that really tries to make a dish how you want it. if you want spicier, she'll do it. if your kid likes baby corn, he gets extra. It's our favorite Chinese restaurant.

a diner from Inverness, Al
This place is just a couple of min from my home so I can call ahead and pick up my order for my family w/in 15 min. It is does not have the best soup we have ever had, but the egg rolls are about the same, the food is way more than we have ever gotten any where else, we have been able to eat off our meals 3 nites.. The meals are about the same as some places I have eaten, w/out mentioning names. I give them an overall 4, because the prices are reasonable, good amt for your money and its MSG FREE....

a diner from birmingham al
I eat at several chinese restaurants. China Doll 2 is not my favorite, but its closest to my workplace. I usually get the beef with broccolli, which I have cooked spicy, or the imperial beef. I am pleased with those dishes, and the hot and sour soup is ok. I like the fried rice better at other restaurants but I can call them and pick up my meal about 6 minutes later, which keeps me from giving into the temptation and going through McDonalds.

I love chinese and eat it often. The China Doll 2 is the closest to my house but I stopped eating there years ago due to the tastes of the food. I thought I would give another try to see if the quality had changed but was disappointed again. I had the General Chicken which had the same strange after taste that I remember from before. The Hot & Sour soup was salty. The egg roll was OK but the spicy mustard tasted like table mustard.
I have eaten at a lot of different Chinese restaraunts and I would have to say this is the worst I have ever tried.

This is a new authentic Chinese food restaurant in town. It is not very fancy but food is close to Mom's cooking.
