A tasty spot with fast service and pleasant staff. We had the vegetable egg rolls, steamed shrimp dumplings (very flavorful), sizzling beef with pan fried noodles, and fried chicken topped with crispy garlic, ginger & scallions in a soy sauce (served with white rice). Generous portions on the entrees - one dish would easily feed 2 folks with big appetites, especially if you got an appetizer too like we did. Ended up with plenty of leftovers for the next day.

Thursday lunch special for under $10 - Mongolian Beef & Salt-n-Pepper Squid. Served with hot-n-sour/egg drop soup & fried/white rice. Friendly fast service in a very clean atmosphere. Delicious lunch. We also ordered (4) items from the menu as takeouts.

Service was AMAZING! This place was recommended to us by a friend. We ordered mapo tofu, sizzling beef, and eggplant with garlic sauce that all came with a bowl of rice. The portion for the meat in the sizzling beef dish wasn’t a lot, but the other two had big portions. It was all delicious and the flavor was great. We were seated and given our order extremely fast. I want to point out our server. I didn’t get her name, but she was a nice hispanic woman. She helped us navigate the menu and had a wonderful attitude. So extremely kind and selfless! We forgot our to go containers as we were leaving and she ran out in the POURING rain to give it to us when she didn’t even have to. It’s one thing to have great food, but another to have wonderful service and employees. Many blessings to this establishment :)!

Y'ALL!! If you're ever in Doraville, GA- go to this Cantonese restaurant on Buford Highway. The best seller is the black pepper beef with crispy noodles and it's DELICIOUS! We also got the vegetable curry clay pot with chicken and it was yum yum yum. The portion sizes are big and the food is a great price. The service is fantastic. The restaurant staff is so kind and attentive and give great recommendations.

I usually love this place and go often. Went on a Friday, July 4, day off from work to get a lunch special. Reduce price/reduce portion!!! First thing the waitress said was that they didn't offer lunch specials on holidays. I argued with her, she gave me the smaller portion at lunch pricing. Then they automatically added a 18% tip on a party of 2. I was very sick all afternoon. Will not be going back anytime soon.

Wonderful. Restaurant is always clean and service is excellent. The food comes out fresh & hot 🥵. Parking is limited right now due to some construction in the parking lot. My Go to dish is the braised fish. Delicious. I still come here weekly 😋 it’s sooo good. Started ordering the duck & it’s fantastic. Update : they recently changed their hours. I would suggest calling before you go if it’s late.

The orange chicken was really good ( ask for extra sauce or else you will be eating dry crunchy glazed chicken with dry rice). A little too crunchy but we were very hungry. We ordered the fried chicken wings but when it arrived I wasn’t sure… 😏 my son was like “why does it look like that?” I think it was the breading being so thick on it. Not how we are used to seeing it so that was a waste of money. Also had vegetable egg roles and they were stuffed good. (I always wonder about yeh ingredients as I’m eating these things 😳). But overall the food was good. We got seated and had to wait 15 minutes only yo get up and go see the waiter behind the cash register enjoying her lunch while we were waiting to order.

So it's a nice little area, but it's in a strip mall that's very congested. So just be aware of that if you are coming here, parking could be a beast. Depending on what time of day you're going to be there. When I was seated, I got brought a menu and some water right away so they had really good attentive customer service. She explained to me you and gave me a chance to go and look over it, she didn't try to rush me. Just a note, I came around when they were closing so it was last that they didn't try to rush me. The barbecue pork was a nice pile of sliced meat. And it was the medium size so I can only imagine what the large size would be. The pork itself was pretty dry, but they had two compensate by adding some sauce at the bottom of the plate for you. So without the sauce, it really didn't hit, but it added some extra juicy flavor to it if you use the sauce with the meat when you were eating it. I ended up taking some of that home and poured the sauce over it and the leftover meat absorb the sauce right up, I feel like I needed more lol. The Egg drop soup was okay, I kind of felt like it could have used a little more flavor, but it was good. It had really big chunks of eggs in it, but it needed a little extra seasoning a little salt and pepper to make it come out. I would probably try to hide and sour next time. General Tso's chicken was really good, I would definitely get it again even I want to try other things next time. The sauce that came on it was good and super sweet and really flavorful and had some cake to it. It was thick so it really stuck to the chicken, so when you put the chicken in the rice, the rice will stick to the sauce which was on a chicken and it made everything falling full circle! Egg rolls were pretty good. They came with a good and sweet sauce that had a nice flavor to them. A lot of times they come with a combo, but this wasn't the case but it's fine (they're on the appetizer menu). The chicken came with steamed rice but you can pay like $4 and some change more and get fried rice. I don't know why I would ever just settle for white rice when fried rice was available so it was a pretty good upgrade and it was a really nice amount of rice too. I took some of that home as well so that was really good. No complaints about this chicken and rice combination Let me mention one thing, I had food left over so I took it home. And you can really tell the integrity of a food and the quality of it by how it reheats, and this food reheated pretty well honestly. This was pretty solid, I really don't have a lot of complaints about it. I thought that they treated me well and they were nice and greeted me and waved at me goodbye as well when I was leaving. The head give or take about maybe 20 or so areas to sit at, and it wasn't full at all so I can get there full attention so that was good but I'll bet at lunch time they probably bang. Either way, I enjoyed myself here. Just to know, the parking here is not great because it's in a parking lot of a strip mall and they're doing construction so you will have to navigate like Tetris around up on a parking spot depending on what time a nite going but I wasn't upset at all. I would go back because you do get a lot of bang for your buck.

I had a very odd craving for this roast duck on a Wednesday. I drove over here on A Wednesday and forgot that they are closed that day, bummer. Don't be like me and have a duck craving in the middle of the week. Anyhoo, I'm back, and the duck still hit like I this the first time I had it. My kids and I are on a quest to try new menu items so tonight was the beef chow mien with black bean sauce. It wasn't bad. You know how kids ate, the veggies were too chunky for them but overall the dish was good. They also expected the skinny rice noodles instead of the flat thick rice noodles, again, kids preference. Overall, food came out fast and fresh. It wasn't a busy night. We'll be back when the next duck craving hits :)

I was carving authentic Asian food. Took my baby girl with me, and we went to explore Doraville, aka Buford Highway. People aint lying when you ask them, "Where are all the authentic and amazing Chinese cuisine?" And they reply, " Buford Highway" or " Jimmy Carter Blvd." You really can't go wrong with any of the restaurants from these locations. However, the thing to look for is the health ratings of all the restaurants. Luckily, Yelp does that automatically for you when you search up the restaurants. Just be cautious about which restaurants you walk into and make sure it's sanitary like you would expect in any restaurants. We found this place, and the food was delicious. We ordered drunken noodles, chicken fried rice, combination congee, and, of course, hot and sour soup. Everything was cooked to the authentic taste. The reason why I deducted a star was for the health ratings. So far, my stomach feels just fine. You know the best foods are located at these hole in the wall places. Just use your best judgment and give it a try! I will be exploring and dining in this area more often in the future, so I know where to take my buddies from California when they visit!

Nice neighborhood go to for Cantonese cuisine. BBQ Pork - the small was sufficient for two and was well seasoned but not too sweet. The meat was tender and not too fatty. 8 treasure clay pot - this is a classic with 8 ingredients - shrimp, squid, char siu, chicken, tofu, Napa cabbage, snow pea, mushrooms, braised in a clay pot. Really good! Green bean with Sze Chuan vegetables and minced pork - this was the only dish that wasn't really good. But really our fault for ordering it as it isn't native to Cantonese cooking.

As much as I love regional Chinese cuisine, I grew up on weekly takeout from my neighborhood American Chinese place. Dishes like General Tso's chicken, egg foo young, and house special fried rice hold a special place in my heart. Good quality American Chinese can be surprisingly hard to find, but my go to for the American Chinese dishes of my youth is BBQ Corner 2 in the Asian Square shopping center on Buford Highway. One of my absolute favorite comfort food meals is General Tso's chicken with roast pork fried rice. The rendition of those two dishes here is excellent. The General Tso's sauce possesses less cloying sweetness and more tang and spice than one may expect. The pork fried rice here benefits from well seasoned char siu pork chunks and the ideal balance of rice and veggies. One order of each yields about three meals worth of food for me, and the prices are subsequently quite reasonable. My order is always ready in a timely manner and the staff always serve with a smile. While this restaurant is a respectable Cantonese place in its own right, I shamefully haven't tried the authentic dishes here and can't comment on their quality. Nonetheless, BBQ Corner 2 remains my go to spot for American Chinese food and I'd heartily recommend it to any in search of well portioned and quality comfort food of that genre.

Since moving to the south, I have been craving for authentic Cantonese food, specifically Chinese bbq! I grew up in the west coast going to Chinatown and picking up the roast duck, soy sauce chicken, bbq pork, etc. Glad we came to visit ATL area and found this gem.

My fiancé and I had dinner at BBQ Corner 2 after I got back from vacation and neither of us wanted to cook. It was pretty scrumptious! I don't know a ton about Chinese food, so I'd like to try some other spots, but we really enjoyed our meal. Service was fast and friendly. We split an order of potstickers which came with a delectable sauce. They were a good portion. I got the pan-fried rice noodles with beef and vegetables. It was different than I expected, but so good! Hot gravy-like sauce and crispy noodles. My fiancé got the BBQ pork lo mein which he loved. These portions were also sizeable for the cost. I'd come back here for sure, along with so many other spots in this shopping center.

How have you not been here? This is the best Cantonese food in Atlanta: and I lived in China for several years. It is also some of THE best service I have ever experienced. I have never had a bad meal here. I genuinely don't understand how they only have four stars. Also, most Friday or Saturday evenings, you can still find a seat. Definitely a hidden gem on Buford Drive.

The food is solid, well priced, but the service is even better! Every time I come to BBQ Corner the staff is always so willing to accomodate for my friends and I (we often show up with a large party of ~15). They even offer to box up leftovers, which most Chinese restaurants never do - I was so impressed! They just asked me which leftovers I wanted and they took care of the rest, leaving me with a nicely tied up to-go bag. Some of my friends commented that the food was a bit too salty and that one of the dishes (sizzling beef w/ crispy noodles) didn't have enough sauce with it. While the food may not leave a lasting impression, I still think this is a local staple where you can get good food at a good price and with great service. Finding all three is hard these days!

As soon as we walked in it smelled so good. Good food. The food we order just delicious and the service was very prompt. Our server was exceptional, Andrea was just wonderful. My family and I have enjoyed this experience so much and recommend it highly. A family owned business with heart warming welcome.

This place has gotten incredibly pricey. Spent $35 on a wonton/noodle soup, plate of roast pork, & a side of white rice. I realize that after the pandemic, everything is more expensive but this is a 50% spike from a couple of years ago. Food still tastes as good as pre-pandemic but don't expect any service or good ambiance. The TV's would be great if they actually broadcasted something instead of freezing and skipping. Owners must've taken queues from Canton Cooks and used the fire exit to store things. If there is ever a fire in the restaurant, use the front door or start breaking windows. Absolutely blatant disregard for customer safety. The fire marshall needs to pay them a visit.

BBQ Corner 2 is a BuHi staple. The food is good, but not outstanding. We ordered the Mongolian Beef, Pork in Peking sauce, Salt & Pepper Squid, and green beans with garlic. The salt and pepper squid was by far our favorite thing we ordered! It had great flavor and wasn't overly chewy or hard. The pork was slightly crispy and the sauce was good. The Mongolian beef was like any other restaurant's, as were the green beans. We had good service and the food was timely in coming out. There was nothing wrong with our meal, we just didn't find it to be anything to rave about this time around.

This place is mine and my husbands top 3 places to eat at in atlanta. Number 1 for Chinese food and it's so consistent. We've been coming here since we started dating back 5/6 years ago. Yen has been our server for the last several years coming here and she always remembers what we get with the occasional curveball of trying something new. It's so hard to try new things here when you've had the few amazing things that you know is good every single time. Our go to, Chinese bbq pork, chicken congee, pork potstickers (the dipping sauce is to die for) sizzling beef with pan fried noodles, and Mongolian chicken. The house made fried chili oil is one of my favorite things because we put it on everything. The service is quick, efficient and they always do a great job. The ambiance is very simple, but also inviting. You just know walking in thấy this food is going to be good because it's not super fancy and they just focus on the food. If we ever move from atlanta we will be deeply sad because this places brings so many good memories for us. I would highly recommend this place over Ming's or any other Chinese restaurants period!

Clean restaurant, excellent service, and one of the best bowls of seafood noodle soup I've ever had, at a reasonable price. This was my first food stop on the way into Atlanta for a short trip, and it may also be my last one on the way out in a few days.

This restaurant was selected because I have seen it mentioned in FB group Asian Eats. We ordered three dishes. We liked the stir-fried beans because it's crunchy to the bite which takes precise control. The beef with dish is well done with tender beef and very tasty. The salt and pepper squid is tasty and a bit dry. I would recommend a try if you love Chinese food.

I came here for lunch yesterday with no pre-conceived thoughts or ideas about this restaurant, and I had a great dining experience! BBQ Corner 2 is in the very popular Asian Square Shopping Center on Buford Highway. There's currently (re)construction going on in the parking lot near BBQ Corner 2, so there may be some challenges with parking, especially during peak times. I was immediately welcomed when I walked through the front door. The employee was with a customer taking a take out order, and gestured with her arm to have a seat at any table in the dining area. All the tables and floor were clean, so my choice of a table wasn't decided by the number of clean tables available. Within a few minutes, my server came over and brought a menu, plate and eating utensils and asked what I wanted to drink, and just wanted water. A couple of minutes later, the employee brought my water and asked if I was ready to order. I wanted to see how well they made their Salt and Pepper Pork Chop, so I ordered that, which comes with steamed white rice. As my server took a few steps away, I asked her if anything other than rice comes with it. She came back to the table and explained that nothing else came with it, and went on to tell me that they have lunch combos that are served with either soup (egg drop or hot and sour soup) or an egg roll (pork), and I have a choice of egg fried rice or steamed rice. She added that I could get the Salt and Pepper Pork Chop as part of the lunch combo. When I asked her if the regular Salt and Pepper Pork Chop is a family-style entree, she said that it is. I didn't really want that much pork chop. As my final order, I asked for the Salt and Pepper Pork Chop lunch combo with hot and sour soup and steamed white rice. Within a couple of minutes, my server brought a bowl of hot and sour soup. This was the spiciest hot and sour soup I've ever tasted, which was ok because I love spicy, but it was just surprising that the heat level was on the high side. After I finished off my soup, my sinuses were clear! That was when my server brought a small bowl of white steamed rice and a serving dish of Salt and Pepper Pork Chop. It looked like it was one pork chop that had been cut haphazardly with a cleaver (bones and all, like many Asian restaurant chefs hack up their pork and chicken), dipped into an egg batter than was lightly seasoned, and pan fried. The chunks of pork chop were placed onto a bed of sautéed onions and cabbage, lots of seasoning and spices, including jalapenos and red chili peppers, and garnished with more seasoning and spices and green onions. The pork chop pieces were delicately crunchy on the outside and still moist on the inside. It could've used more salt and pepper, but it's probably best for me to not have too much salt. I liked that the onions were still a little firm. My Salt and Pepper Pork Chop was a lunch combo that was done well! I'm really satisfied with the suggestion/recommendation from my server regarding getting the lunch combo versus getting the entree. I'm looking forward to trying more items off of their extensive menu in the future.

I've been going to BQC2 since college and it's for good reason - the food is great and the atmosphere is just as great. This is a large but small team ran restaurant with an extensive menu and even though you wouldn't believe it if you walked in with me and watched as they asked if I wanted my regular of sweet and sour ribs.... I've tried a lot of it and all of it is good. The staff is the real star here - they're a small group of very fun and enjoyable people more than willing to walk you through the menu if you need suggestions or anything like that. They're super amazing and deserve all the business you can give them, and honestly after you eat something you'll do that anyways. If you're eating in, this place is huge. More than enough room for you and your friends to order a bunch of stuff and eat family style and have a good time. You can't go wrong here.

I really like the egg drop soup the shrimp fried rice and the salt and pepper shrimp. I'm probably a bit basic but they do those dishes well. The portions are quite large as they are made to share(except soup those are individual). The wait staff is quite efficient and making sure you have what you need.

I remember this place very fondly as a child. I would always ask my mom to come here and get the roast duck. It has been many years since then, and either my memory serves me wrong or this place has truly gone down hill. When I walk in now, the decor has not changed much. Which means they've had the same carpet and furniture from over a decade ago - and you can definitely tell. The staff is not that helpful as well and are just there to do the bare minimum. Their sulkiness and general apathy would be more tolerable if the food was good, but overall, there's not much taste, and the barbecue is very dry. Their hot and sour soup is overly peppered. I was stirring the noodles thinking the sauce had sunk to the bottom, only to be told by the one friendly waitress there that the noodles had already been mixed in the kitchen - meaning there was just no sauce. I'm pretty disappointed with my latest experience here, not only for being bad but for ruining my rose colored memories.

My favorite Chinese restaurant. Been coming here for a few years now. So happy someone recommended it to me when I was in a furniture store on Buford Hwy. they said the Sesame Beef is their go to dish and a popular dish. And she wasn't lying. It's so good! Every time I've ever been here, it's on our table. Our other favorite is the salt and pepper squid. It's fried but not greasy. It's almost like a dash fry and the pepper with the fresh onions give it a bite. It's great appetizer dish. I also ordered the chicken with black bean sauce. It has a nice light sauce. We also had a hot and sour soup which has a bit of a kick. It was a little spicier than my daughter would've wanted but I really liked it. It was just enough of a kick for me. As always we don't ever have room for dessert. There's plenty of dessert options in the shopping center (Sweet Hut is a favorite and there's a rolled ice cream option across the street). A must restaurant when you're on Buford Highway.

BBQ Corner II is an old Buford Highway standby. Located in Asian Square, it's been around for as long as I can remember. In late 2013/early 2014, BBQ Corner closed and re-opened, fully renovated with a fresh, cleaned-up interior and a new storefront sign to boot. Since the renovation, the menu appears to mostly be the same except there's no more dim sum. There's a lot of authentic Chinese cuisine. I consider it Cantonese comfort food. The restaurant is open late, which is great. Sunday to Thursday, 11am to midnight. Friday and Saturday, 11am to 2am. Wednesday closed. This is a simple, casual, no-frills restaurant. Fish tanks still greet you at the entrance, but they aren't as dirty or dingy as they once were. As before, the carpeted dining room is one big open space with a collection of tables. All furniture is new as of the renovation. The round tables seat up to eight each. There's a large TV mounted high at one end of the dining room. There's an astonishing 270+ dishes on the menu not including the 60 lunch specials offered Monday to Friday, 11am to 3pm. When it comes to Cantonese food, they serve just about everything and that includes the popular big three items: BBQ pork, soy sauce chicken, and roasted duck. They serve soups, clams, mussels, oysters, fish (grouper, tilapia, sea bass, sole), shrimp, scallops, squid, egg foo young, beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, Chinese hot pot, congee (rice porridge), rice dishes, lo mein noodles, pan-fried noodles and rice noodles, and noodle soups. Dishes range in price from $6-10 each for rice dishes, congee, and noodle soups to $10-16 each for bigger entrees. Each lunch special runs $7 or less. Generally, I think the food is decent to good. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the aforementioned BBQ pork, soy sauce chicken, or roasted duck -- the restaurant's best sellers. Each is fresh and flavorful (and appetizingly greasy) in its own right. These are the types of chopped, roasted meats you'd find at a street stall in Hong Kong. At BBQ Corner, you can order any combination of these three (A7-A9, A12-A13 on menu). The red pork is my favorite (I love the succulent charred bits) followed by the duck with its delightfully crispy, oily skin. The soy sauce chicken is meaty, also with glistening skin. Some of the (white) meat can be dry, but it's not uncommon with this type of chicken. The meats are garnished with cilantro and pickled radish. Try the fish maw and crab meat soup (B13) or braised shark fin and crab meat soup (B14). I grew up eating fish maw soup with my family. Fish maw is a fish organ also known as swim bladder or air bladder. It has a delicate and fluffy texture and is mild in flavor. I like to add red vinegar sauce to my fish maw soup for extra flavor. Shark fin soup is unique, considered a Chinese delicacy, and often served at special occasions (like a Tuesday night at BBQ Corner). I'm happy to report that BBQ Corner serves ong choy, my favorite Chinese vegetable! This vegetable is known as Chinese water spinach, pak boong in Thai, and rau muong in Vietnamese. It's a leafy green vegetable notable for it's crunchy, hollow stems. Prepared with garlic, BBQ Corner's ong choy is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it. My second favorite vegetable dish is the snow pea leaves with garlic (L15). It's prepared similar to ong choy and also quite tasty. Another popular dish is the sizzling beef steak with black pepper sauce (H12). I actually happened to take pictures of this dish before and after the restaurant's 2013-14 closing/re-opening: Before (circa 2010): http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bbq-corner-2-atlanta-2?select=zkkSND1_W750QijT8APx1g#zkkSND1_W750QijT8APx1g After (circa 2015): http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bbq-corner-2-atlanta-2?select=44DI75s6m3JBj6KMCQykQA#44DI75s6m3JBj6KMCQykQA It's a savory beef dish served on a skillet with the meat, vegetables (green bell pepper, white onion), and sauce still vigorously sizzling. Admittedly, the cuts of beef are cheap, sometimes mushy or rubbery, but satisfying nonetheless. The hissy, smoky presentation of this dish gives it a little "wow" factor. If you're adventurous, I suggest ordering the pork intestine with sour cabbage (K27). If prepared improperly, pork intestine can taste and smell awful. Fortunately, the pork intestines I've tried at BBQ Corner are quite good with no unpleasant taste nor odor. The sliced intestines have a soft consistency with a somewhat distinct aromatic flavor. The cooked sour cabbage goes well with the intestine. The dry beef chow fun noodles (P4) are scrumptious. One order is quite filling and can be split among multiple people. Wide, flat rice noodles are pan-fried with slices of beef, bean sprouts, scallions, and other veggies. Most people, regardless of palate, enjoy beef chow fun. The noodle soups, particularly with roasted duck (S4) or BBQ pork (S6), are good as well. These soups use thin, delectable egg noodles. Service is fine.

I haven't had the best luck on Buford Highway with Chinese food. It's either disappointing or the service is flat out awful. Well, I've finally found a place where I love the food AND the service is pretty decent! BBQ Corner 2 is pretty visible from the main road. It's in the same shopping center as Sweet Hut. There's plenty of parking in that large lot. I've yet to have to wait more than a few seconds to be seated. It's usually busy but never packed. There's small tables for 4, as well as larger round tables for groups. Nothing fancy about the decor, but it's air conditioned and comfortable, and pretty clean. I've kept it simple so far for my food selections because you don't fix what's not broken. Small order of BBQ Pork Appetizer for $6 is a steal! It's delicious, hits that specific meat craving I have every time. And the small is plenty for two people. The medium for $11 should be enough for 4 people. To go with it, we also got the House Fried Rice for $10, and it too was great! You can probably split it between 2-3 people depending on how hungry you are. So you can see that it was a very cheap dinner date for us to have 2 dishes for a total of $16 that delightfully filled us up. There's a very large menu to explore, with all the things you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant: noodles, rice, soups, and various seafood. Service is on point. They're prompt, polite (especially for Buford Highway standards), and actually check on you throughout the night. Bonus is their late hours that go into midnight or later. Apparently they're closed on Wednesdays though. I can see myself coming back here often!

My go to spot for lunch since they have specials. You can order for the whole crew without breaking the bank. I'll still order from the regular entree because they have more selections and food is always good and flavorful.

Sizzling steak with black pepper sauce was DELICIOUS!! Seasoned to perfection!! The pork/mustard green/duck egg soup was quite tasty and filling. We ordered a small and it was enough for both of us to have 3 bowls full. My husband had a Chinese hot pot w/ spicy eggplant & minced pork in a garlic sauce. He loved the sauce it was in but not the eggplant itself. It was cooked too long and had the texture of okra-which he is not that fond of!! The soy sauce chicken was not a favorite of ours with. The service was great and the food came out in a timely manner. We'll definitely be going back!!!

I was a bit skeptical going here because of the 3.5 rating but we were just so hungry so we took the chance. Everything single dish we ordered were really good. My favorite was the Mongolian beef and salt and pepper squid. Soooo good! Of course, as expected in all Chinese restaurants, price was affordable. Hefty serving as well, good for 2-3 people, depending on the appetite. Definitely coming back

For the price this food was not worth it. I ordered Braised Tofu, Mushroom with Chinese Vegetables and shrimp wontons. The braised tofu has nice flavor however the vegetables were over cooked and chewy but was tolerable. Also, As big as the wontons were I expected more than one tiny shrimp inside. I called to express my extreme disappointment with the wontons and requested to bring them back and get a refund but was told there was nothing they can do for me. She even went so far as to suggest I don't get them next time. So I told her I won't get anything next time because I won't be back. I have worked next door to this place for almost five years and this was the first time I've ventured in and it will be my last.

We found this place by accident looking for China Kitchen (which is in the Asian Market). Although I at first was perturbed that a place called BBQ Corner didn't really have any bbq (save bbq pork a staple of most any Chinese restaurant), the experience was worth the confusion. Service: The service was excellent, my glass stayed fill and they were attentive to our table and all the tables around us. Food: They have great food, and bright fresh greens. You will not be disappointed with portion size either. Prices: Two people, 3 dishes, 37 dollars before tip. This is an extremely reasonable place in a big city like Atlanta. Cons: The lobster tanks looked dirty, and because of that you'll instantly start looking for things around you to nit pick at and wonder how cleanly the whole place is. I would of gone for 5 stars had I not got the 'is this really as clean as it could be?' vibe.

Great Chinese food! My friends and I ordered the Mongolian beef, duck, and Chinese broccoli. The Mongolian beef was sweet and savory; so good! The duck was also good, you have to dip the meat in the sauce it's in for even more flavor. I'd recommend the broccoli if you want to get your veggies in :). The ends of it too chewy for my liking but the leafy parts was delicious. It was just the three of us and we ordered three plates and ate family style and we were all stuffed for only like $15 each! It's on Buford way in asian square so there's plenty of parking. We came in early February so it was cold but unfortunately it was also cold inside :( they also don't take AMEX.

We stopped by BBQ Corner this weekend with a couple of friends who used to live in town. We arrived around 1230 and were seated immediately. I was stupidly excited to eat here again because it tastes so much like my uncle's home cooking. We ordered the salt and pepper squid appetizer to share, ribs with bitter melon rice plate, and hubster got the chicken with vegetables. The portions were huge for 6.95 a plate! Of course it was like 70% rice, so I wasn't going to complain. I love rice. The flavors of the bitter melon with ribs was spot on. The black bean sauce was not too overpowering or salty. Hubster liked the chicken and vegetables. There wasn't a whole lot of variety to the veggies. Salt and pepper squid appetizer was better this time around. It was not overly salty. For 27$ (including tip) this was a great affordable meal.

Stopped by for some quick takeout and it was ready within 10 minutes. Their orange chicken was crispy yet saucy each bite. Thoroughly enjoyed their yang chow fried rice. Their beef chow fun was okay, a bit bland, but still edible nonetheless. Would stop by again and hopefully could try their bbq pork since it was unavailable when i visited.

Ever since discovering Buford, I fell in love with BBQ Corner. This location never fails to accommodate our large groups of late night cravers. There is plenty of parking nearby and the service is always great. The waiters can speak Cantonese and Mandarin. When eating with a group of friends, we always count the number of people and order X amount of dishes to share. It's plenty enough to satisfy most people. If we're really hungry we order X+1 or X+2. I highly recommend the sizzling pan fried beef noodles, the salt & pepper squid, the fried tofu, thd Mongolian beef, and beef chow fun! The quality is always consistent. Plus you can get as much rice as you want at no extra charge! Highly recommend this place for your Chinese and Cantonese fix!

Running back from the city, we stopped along the food mecca of Buford Highway. We planned on stopping for another restaurant but the cash only deterred so we took a gamble and went next door. WORTH IT! I scanned reviews and thanks to other Yelpers we locked into some good options. We ended up with the seafood with black bean sauce, pork and duck bbq, and the sizzling beef. Each dish screamed complexity in amazing taste with what seemed to be the simplest preparation and ingredients. We kept remarking how good it all was and just loved every bite. Service is fantastic - definitely a place for regulars but we were treated just as well. Friendly and helpful! Nothing too fancy and nothing pretentious. I love the appeal that you can bring your hipster brother and his friends, your parents, your kid nephew, and your grandmother and everyone will find something they want to eat, have great family time, and allow your foodies in the group to snap a photo or two of the experience. A win for all.

I love this place. It's my save place to go when I'm hungry because I know it's going to be fast and delicious! The servers are nice and know their menu, they are really helpful and fast! The pork and shrimp wonton soup is if the chain! Best one and I have tried others but always come back to bbq corner 2! There is always parking and the location is very convenient!! I could give them 10 stars if I could. They deserve it!

Quick review...fair prices, good service, worth the drive over to Buford Hwy. We usually get the roast pork and Gen Tso with hot and sour soup. Super reliable, always good , hot , fresh authentic Chinese food. Nice servers who are very attentive. You can't go wrong here!

I first discovered this place because they are open late. Where many other establishments roll up at 9pm, this place is serving solid Chinese food. And they're busy late, too. With a diverse crowd that's into things that transcend sweet & sour chicken. The first time I ate here, I had a really good Moo Shu Pork. Savory. A little sweet. Rolled up in some good crepes, which they can fill for you, or let you do your own at the table. They have other, more traditional offerings. Be sure to check out the pictures in the back of the menu, and order off those pages. Staff and servers here are always pleasant and fast. They seem to work really hard to make sure you get what you need. And it didn't take long for them to recognize me, joining the other seemingly long list of regulars that frequent this place. Now, we like this place so much, it has become sort of a go-to for a place to take friends when we desire a diversity of things to try. I'll probably go there next week. Holler if you're coming with.

We have been going here for years and it is our go to place for BBQ pork and BBQ chicken. They have a good variety of authentic items on the menu as well. I always enjoy the Snow Pea Leaves, Chow Fun (w/ brown gravy) and Singapore Noodles. They have always been dependable for large orders. We've placed many $100 take out orders for parties and events.

BBQ Corner has been a go-to restaurant for my family. Consistency is the key when it comes to why we love this place so much and keep coming back. The service is always friendly and quick, the food always comes piping hot, and the ambiance is never hectic. We usually order the beef chow fun, eggplant with salty fish, and salt and pepper squid. We also love the beef chow fun with brown gravy, the garlic eggplant, and the lunch combinations (a great deal!). Hearing the sizzle of the food as the plates come out of the kitchen, seeing the heat come off the plate in hot puffs of smoke, and smelling the combination of beef, green onion, and slightly smokey wok stir-fried rice noodles reassures me every time why we love coming here. The umami sensation you get while eating their food is out of this world and will make you want to savor every bite.

This is probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in Atlanta. I come here all the time and the server already knows us and our favorite dishes. Everytime we come here, we're never disappointed. The food and service are always consistent. It's a good mix of traditional and American Style Chinese. Our favorites are the Salt & Pepper Squid, Beef with Peking Sauce, Pan Fried Sea Bass and the Pork with Preserved Egg Congee. Definitely recommend this place!
