Cantonese BBQ & dim sum with huge portions, made to order
"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
"Though accurately named, Best BBQ is more than that. In addition to fantastic Cantonese-style BBQ, you’ll also find dim sum and a ton of Cantonese specialties here. Plus, it’s located in the massive City Farmers Market, so you can fuel up before an intense grocery haul. The enticing display of hanging siu laap meats should clue you in on what to get first (looking at you, roasted duck). This counter-service operation produces nothing but winners, including the beefy chow fun and giant siu mai, which are bursting with seasoned pork and shrimp." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"We’re thankful for Best BBQ because it's an all-in-one setting to get dim sum, Cantonese-style BBQ, and nearly every Cantonese specialty you could want. This counter service restaurant inside the City Farmers Market on Buford Highway showcases an enticing display of siu laap. Ask for the three-meat combo with crispy pork belly, soy sauce chicken, and roast duck over rice. We'll often order a fourth meat, roast pork, because why not? And it’s hard to visit Best BBQ without getting their overstuffed siu mai, har gow, or potstickers, which could all qualify as entrees. If you have the table space (and stamina to keep going), also try the black bean spare ribs over chow fun. Order to go or come during weekdays when it’s easier to get a table." - 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
