Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Believe it or not, pretty good Chinese food in a strip mall in Helena!! It's better than the Chinese place just next door by neighborhood market. I typically order the steamed chicken with vegetables. It's delicious every time and the service is good!

So as a result of the positive reviews we saw in Yelp, and considering how close the restaurant is to our home, my wife and I decided to try Zou tonight; and I have to say that the reviews are pretty spot on. We had a nice time and will most certainly go back. The food was pretty good, and was prepared/served very quickly, with the help of one of the owners and her daughter(s). :) (I had the Mandarin Chicken, while my wife tried the General Tso's - both awesome... And we also got several egg rolls, which were great as well.) The place is kinda small but quaint in its own way, possessing a homey, relaxed vibe to it. (Example - several people came in for take-out orders and spoke to generally everyone in the restaurant [which was essentially us for a while...lol] when walking in. Kinda like a Chinese "Cheers" in reverse. lol.) The owner (or who I assume is the owner/owner's wife judging from the write-up on the place, near the register) was extremely kind and respectful, and made us feel like she was very happy to have our business. Even if the food had been less than stellar, the attitude of Zou would have been enough to secure our return, no question. So, verdict? - It's kinda hidden off in its own little area, and is kinda size-challenged relative to other Chinese restaurants around Birmingham and the surrounding areas, but it is well worth your time and a visit. You, your stomach, and your wallet will be glad you did. :)

Best Chinese food around! Food is always hot when we pick it up. A little crowded for dine in.
(5)Gary R.
Service is fast for pick up & price is fair but had to deduct two stars due to lack of flavor & food not really worthy to return.

Singapore rice noodles are one of the best Asian dishes I have ever had. The employees are friendly and very welcoming. This is my number once choice for take out Chinese food.

Zou's Kitchen is one of my go-to places for takeout. We adopted our daughter from Chine in 2006; she's now 6 years old, and she really really likes Zou's Kitchen. Her favorite, which they ALWAYS accommodate us with, is the egg drop soup combined with steamed rice. When she was a baby in China, babies had a very similar dish called cangee (spelling?), so who knows if that's why. I LOVE the Singapore noodles, they're very very good. Prices are very reasonable, and I love talking to the owners and chef, and their family. This is a great place, and I have never had a bad experience nor bad food.

Used to live in New York and this is the best take out Chineese food I've had in 5 years of living here. Good quality and quantity of food for the money ($7 for a combo)

After getting hooked on DC Chinese food and the homecooking of my Chinese roommates, this is the only place I go for Chinese takeout now. I'm not crazy about the lo mein (hence the four stars) but their fried rice is awesome, dumplings are delicious, and crab rangoon is perfect for dessert. They're always really nice and food is ready super-fast and always hot.

Best Chinese restaurant in Shelby county. The food is outstanding and they are always quick when you order.
(5)Dyanne D.
Really love Chinese and love they don't use MSG. Take-out is great and eat-in too! Very friendly and clean. I live very close so I go often. It's best kept secret in Helena! You really need to try it.
(5)Ken L.
By far the best Chinese Food around. Not a place to dine in unless your out and about it is a take home place. But, omg the food is awesome. I drive from alabaster to helena to get take home. Yummy
(5)Elizabeth J.
Cheap, close, and good. I love the food and lunch prices are great!! The family who owns it is so nice!
(5)Scout M.
Mmmmmm pork egg foo young!!!! It is so gooood!!! It's a little mom and pop place that has NEVER made a bad dish. They even have evening combination plates at a great price. When family comes from out of town, we eat there or get it to go at least once. I hate to go anywhere else to eat Chinese. I think my first utensil to use was a chopstick. A couple of times a year we at Chinatown in Chicago. I know good Chinease food. This is it!!!! You stomach and mouth will thank you.

Zou's kitchen's food is very tasty compared to other American-style Chinese restaurants. Although the food is not authentic Chinese but definitely five star for American friends. The owner is really nice and friendly. My wife and I drove from east coast to west, and occasionally found it here. But it did not let our Chinese stomach be frustrated.
(5)Alex P.
Love the food and the owners are awesome people. I try and support local places of business and they make it an awesome experience
(5)Jared S.

I really don't understand the great reviews of this restaurant. The good thing I can say is that the chicken is real white meat chicken (as far as I can tell). I ordered the sweet and sour chicken. The negative is that the chicken did not have any sauce on the outside of the breaded chicken nuggets. I'm not sure if the chef forgot, ran out of sweet and sour sauce or mixed up my order with someone else's. I ended up pouring the red duck (or sweet and sour) sauce over it that came with another dish. It was all very confusing. At any rate, the good news is that the food tastes relatively homemade and the chicken tenders were pretty tasty. Another complaint I have is that the rice that comes with the combos is plain brown rice. Most of the Chinese restaurants I've been to use fried rice with their combos. The food taste and quality is also somewhat inconsistent. The first time we went (we've only been twice) the food was much better. My husband had the soup twice (hot and sour and some type of chicken soup) and did not like either of the soups. The best dish I've had from there is the vegetable fried rice. It was very tasty, although it included those strange little miniature ears of corn which I have never liked (well actually I've never had enough nerve to try them). Service wise, the people seemed to be friendly and appreciative and the order was prepared very rapidly. The food was not exactly steaming hot, which makes me question whether it was pre-cooked and microwaved, or what kind of preparation they do on the dishes. From what my husband said, the place seemed clean and I saw with my own eyes that they had a very high health food inspection score. I guess overall, I could taste the effort that went into the dishes, and I would probably go back at least one more time, but it is not a place I would run back to unless I just wanted to get a craving for Chinese food out of my system.

Like several other people who have commented here, we came because of the reviews. I'm from Manhattan and this is as good as any Chinese restaurant back in New York for sure!! From the fried rice to the General Tso's Chicken, even the egg rolls -- all were fresh and delicious. Zou (Joe) the owner and all the staff are friendly and attentive. The decor fits the locale, just behind a gas station, but it only adds to the charm. Oh, and big portions - come hungry!!
