Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I gave my meal of Chicken and Broccoli from Zou’s Kitchen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars) tonight. It was perfectly prepared. I asked for extra veggies and fried rice. The veggies were crisp and fresh. The brown sauce was not too salty and not too thick. Excellent....All chicken pieces were moist and tender. Loved every bite. I’ll order for them again soon.More

Excellent food and service. We were greeted warmly and seated for lunch immediately. The premises were spotless and it was obvious that the Zou's Kitchen staff pays attention to their cleaning regimen. Our meals were served after just a brief wait, which is a good...indication that they were prepared on the spot and after we ordered. The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. We did wish they offered real serviceware and actual flatware instead of the styrofoam containers and flimsy plastic utensils, but I'm sure they have good reasons for avoiding dishes that have to be sanitized. The quality of the food more than made up for the disposable things. We're very happy that we tried Zou's Kitchen and I'm certain that we'll return often. I'm happy to recommend Zou's Kitchen to you and confident that you'll enjoy yourself there too.More

Zou’s is our go-to for great Chinese food. We’ve dined in a few times, and the service was good. However, we usually do take out, and it is always ready when we arrive, with no wait, and the order is always correct. They have great...egg rolls and cheese rangoons! Our food is always very good, and they take great measures in packaging the take out orders securely, so we never worry about a mess in the car on the ride back home! We have also been able to request a vegetarian option that was not on the menu, and they were friendly and willing to accommodate our request. (sesame tofu) We highly recommend Zou’s!More

Again - Helena & surrounding Area has a wide variety of Chinese Food ! I have gone to Zoe’s on several occasions especially when the other Chinese Restaurant in town is closed . Both Chinese restaurants are closed one day a week but thankfully not...the same day . Staff is very friendly & Attentive. Food is excellent - love the Moo Goo Gai Pan ! Only criticism would be their version of Hot & Sour Soup doesn’t compare to the other Chinese Restaurant in town . Love Hot & Sour Soup & theirs is a little Bland ! Need to add little mor Vinegar ! But other than that - Excellent !More

Love Zous the food is always excellent. Tiny little place with friendly staff and delicious Asian food. I have a family member that lives in the area and whenever I visit she knows a visit to Zous is a must. She doesn’t mind at all...as she and her friends are regulars there. You won’t be disappointed.More

Myself and my family have been eating at Zous ever since it opened. Take home or eat in. Small family run restaurant can't be beat in my opinion. Hey we're hungry let's grab dinner Zous it is.

We are Helena locals and have been eating at Zou’s for years. We pick it up and bring it home, as well as eat there. We’ve taken numerous friends and family there and they’ve always been happy with their food. The food is always freshly...prepared, piping hot and of good quality. The lunch specials are great and you get a ton of food for the price. The house lo mein is my fav dish. My husband loves the seafood soup. Cheese Rangoon’s are delicious! What a jewel to have such great Chinese here in our little town.More

Apparently in Helena there are two kinds of people. Those who like Zou's and those who like Lucky China. I'm am firmly in the latter after giving Zou's a chance on at least three occasions. The first time the food was so greasy and fatty...I threw away the leftovers which are normally my favorite part of take away Chinese. The bag was wet on the bottom once I got home if that tells you anything. It was overly breaded and just didn't taste great. On another occasion I was already at the gas station and thought I would grab a quick soup and egg roll for dinner. They wanted to charge me extra for using my debit card since I didn't meet the minimum order amount. It was only a quarter, but it seemed absolutely ridiculous to me. I canceled my order and drove the one minute to Lucky China for always personal service by the owner and his family. Food is always fresh and doesn't leave you with a desire to check your cholesterol.More

I love coming here on my lunch break. The food is always amazing and its a short drive from my office. The staff always keeps up with the guests making sure they are taken care of. It is a small store front space and can...get loud when busy but that just means the food is great. The lunch menu has lots of great options and is a really good deal! For just over $6 I typically walk away with a full belly needing some extra space in my waste band.More

Tucked away in our small Helena, AL community is one of the best Chinese restaurants you will ever visit. They have limited seating and we normally do take out but the food is always very good. I recommend the honey garlic chicken or the Singapore...rice noodle dish. I have never had a bad meal at this place.More
