Pulled it apart and now instead of shrimp the standard egg rolls come with some type of very bland chicken inside.įinal Take: Score is overall better because the food was at least edible this time but the egg rolls have gone down and one of the most popular items, the Mongolian beef lacked flavor and spice. This place was known for having the best egg rolls in arguably the state. Right amount of Mongolian sauce just needs more flavor.īiggest Con: Now the most disappointing thing to me is the egg roll. When this restaurant was at it's peak, I would order this dish and it was be perfectly spicy and it was not something I needed to request. I think you can request it to be more spicy.

I actually found a website dedicated to this culinary favorite. Joy Young Restaurant was a downtown Birmingham institution beginning in 1919 and remaining there until it moved to another location sometime after 1973. One or two local restaurants have come close since, but no one has ever made them better. Their eggrolls were the best I have ever eaten.
