Cantonese eatery with massive, made-to-order dim sum & BBQ
"Located next to City Farmers Market, stroll up to the counter to order everything from shrimp and pork shumai and har gow (Cantonese shrimp dumplings) to sticky rice in lotus leaves, steamed chicken feet, turnip cakes, and other dim sum and specials here. There’s also a location in the food court at Great Wall Supermarket in Duluth. Chef Ronald Hsu of Michelin-starred Lazy Betty says this is one of his favorite spots for a power lunch." - Michael Tran
"Perfect for a quick, satisfying lunch in a counter-style setting; the menu focuses on classic Chinese barbecue — pork, duck, and chicken — alongside dim sum and a wide array of made-to-order entrees." - Henna Bakshi
"Located next to City Farmers Market in Chamblee, Best BBQ has been a longtime favorite in the area. The har gow and siu mai here are nearly twice the size of those at other places, and the slippery rice noodle rolls filled with shrimp, pork, or beef offer a flavor and texture reminiscent of classic NYC Chinatown spots. Although there are no carts here, diners can order off a photo menu at the counter, promptly find a table, and wait for their number to be announced on the intercom in Cantonese and English. Supplement your meal with the roast duck wonton noodle soup or crispy pork belly over rice. Best BBQ also has a second location in Great Wall Supermarket’s food court in Duluth. No rolling carts, counter service only, open daily." - Candy Hom
" Potstickers, Har Gow & Siu Mai Don’t let the restaurant name steer you off course. In addition to selling siu laap like Cantonese roasted duck and pork, Best BBQ offers a large, delicious dim sum selection. Since this Doraville restaurant does not have traditional dim sum carts, most dumplings are made to order and come steaming hot. Get our go-to orders—the potstickers, steamed har gow stuffed with shrimp, and the open-faced pork and shrimp siu mai—which are all housemade and incredibly massive. A mere one or two orders should fill up one hungry human. Just order at the counter, which has helpful photos of each menu item, before finding a seat at one of the dozen or so tables. Since Best BBQ is located inside City Farmer’s Market, it gets busy on weekends." - candy hom
"Best BBQ in Buford Highway’s City Farmers Market might not provide the full experience with rolling carts, but it makes up for it with affordable made-to-order items, which is why we’re always here. Come on a weekday for the best chance of claiming a table quickly. If it’s packed, you can always grab to-go and shop the market while you wait for your food (there’s also a Best BBQ in Duluth). Order at the counter, and listen out for your number. Be warned their har gow, siu mai, and other dumplings are giant—so it’ll be hard to make those dainty, early dating-stage bites if you’re still hiding your true, ravenous eating form. " - candy hom
