China Kitchen

I've had their chili oil wontons here after hearing from a friend that they were really good. What's wild that I paid ~$13.50 for 8 wontons in chili oil. What's more mad is that I've done this twice lol. I'd give the chili oil wontons a 3.5 stars. It comes with a few bok choys, scallions, and sauce. The wontons paper is quite thin and soft- not usually how I like it but that's up to preference. The restaurant def has a large variety of foods which is nice. I don't think any other restaurant at Chinatown Market makes them? It's one of the bigger stalls here too. Service takes a while; I think I've waited 15-20+ min for just wontons. If you're here for a while, I think you should give the menu a try. Their main dishes look reasonably priced too. The older Chinese man who looks to run everything was super nice and kind, I saw him training a cashier.

In the food court... great food, but not exactly date night ambience. Yes, it's Chinese food, *not* Americanized Chinese. Would highly recommend dry hot pot with fish (fried cuts of fish, cumin seasoning, lots of vegetables), spicy chicken (I don't know how they get it so crispy), red chili oil wontons or the master dumplings, salt and pepper fish/squid (not spicy at all but perfectly crunchy), and twice cooked pork. All but the pork pictured here.

My husband and I would always choose China Kitchen when eating out at the ATL China Town. The food is tasty and authentic. It is placed inside the China Town food court, which reminds me of a hawker style eatery. I love this place. A few of my posted photos show the food being placed in takeout containers, as I did not order for dine-in in those instances, but if you ask to dine in, the food will be served in proper plates and bowls, or even hot pots, depending on what you order. Please be aware that there is a small add-on fee if you use a credit card. I personally would try to bring cash whenever I come here, but there is an ATM inside the food court as well if you need it.

Atlanta's Chinatown is not quite a Chinatown... It's more of a food court, so don't expect it to be something extravagant (or even close to it) like LA, NY, or SF. That being said, there are some great spots there! I tried out China Kitchen, which is excellent for fast and cheap food! The food is delicious and so inexpensive - everything there is around $10 or less. My favorite dishes I got were the eggplant with garlic sauce, spicy chicken, and salt and pepper fish.

I tried this place on a whim; I wanted Mongolian beef and Googled the nearest Chinese near me. This might be the best Mongolian beef I’ve ever had. The sauce was perfect, the meat was perfectly cooked. I usually don’t eat the white onions in this dish, but these were delicious too. I will definitely be back to try other things.

Went to the Chinese night market last night and I got food poisoning from their flat noodles too much oil that it made my stomach hurt for hours, they probably used old oil, but did not know how it would react to my body in the next morning. The service was okay because he didn’t even what I wanted to order off of the menu when I wanted soup not just the noodles itself. Why display it as soup off of a number and give the complete opposite.

the place is cute, seems clean ( i wasn't there long) ok FOOD! i ordered the soup dumpling and this is an item i eat all the time from a different place and i need to say the ones from China Kitchen are not very good. the filling is just pork, no seasoning no herbs just pork. bok choy and mushroom was good, but it was fried in grease which was not very good. sweet and sour chicken general Tso chicken beef fried rice were all OK. that's it just MEDIOCRE. I would order here again. I paid 66$ including 5$ tip and it want worth it in my opinion. try NORTH CHINA EATRY.

I loved the Shredded Pork with Plum Sauce! My husband tried it and loved it too, and he doesn't normally like pork. Besides steamed rice, the dish also came with four small steamed buns which was a nice accompaniment. I've had both the strawberry and taro milk teas. While tasty and not too sweet, I wish they had a stronger flavor. The strawberry and taro flavors were both very mild. The owner is very kind and accommodating, and you can tell he cares about the quality of his food and keeping his customers satisfied. This is a well-run business!

I've had their chili oil wontons here after hearing from a friend that they were really good. What's wild that I paid ~$13.50 for 8 wontons in chili oil. What's more mad is that I've done this twice lol. I'd give the chili oil wontons a 3.5 stars. It comes with a few bok choys, scallions, and sauce. The wontons paper is quite thin and soft- not usually how I like it but that's up to preference. The restaurant def has a large variety of foods which is nice. I don't think any other restaurant at Chinatown Market makes them? It's one of the bigger stalls here too. Service takes a while; I think I've waited 15-20+ min for just wontons. If you're here for a while, I think you should give the menu a try. Their main dishes look reasonably priced too. The older Chinese man who looks to run everything was super nice and kind, I saw him training a cashier.

Great food!!! Quiet atmosphere and sometimes customers are waiting in line, especially after leaving the theater close by. Quick service, friendly atmosphere. ​

The Chinatown Food Court was there when I moved to Atlanta almost 20 years ago. Back then, when I looked up Chinatown in Atlanta, I came to this little micro-mall before later discovering Buford Highway and that Chinese food was not concentrated into one neighborhood like it is in some cities. This little food court predates all the popular ones in Atlanta such as the Krog Market and Ponce Market. But it's not the sort where you can't find pricey ice cream. I believe it's all Chinese. Today, I wandered in, while waiting for my car to be serviced, and noticed Cold Noodles on China Kitchen's menu. This dish, which I adore at the various Gu's locations, is simple, but requires a fantastic bowl of noodles and chili sauce that hits the spot. China Kitchen's rendition was a good as Gu's, superb!

This is a really solid place! I ordered a spicy chicken hotpot, sizzling beef with noodles and chicken fried rice. It was just me and my two kiddos, what was I thinking! The portion size was large and very tasty. There was a slight language barrier with the lady at the counter but the service was great. It was in a small mall so the food court was typical. I will definitely be coming back.

Tried their beef burrito from a small kiosk. The cashier was very friendly and kind. It was a good size for being around $12. Overall, I liked the flavor of salty with slightly sweet. But I did find it to be a little dry so a bit of soy sauce and vinegar definitely helped. Would come again and enjoy the casual environment.

I had ordered a vegetable dry hot pot and asked for vegetarian version. It was nice surprise to have tofu added as they usually do not come with tofu. It was a nice addition along with different medley of vegetables! It also comes with complimentary hot and sour soup which keeps you satiated until the food comes out. The service fast and came out within minutes.

Located in the Atlanta Chinatown food court Plenty of parking (on weekdays) Friendy help and service Only tried the cumin lamb , but taste was fantastic. Only negative is lamb pieces were tiny, but quite enough. They customized to mild (with a bit of kick). The surprise was the vegetables: perfectly cooked and tasty on its own Can't wait to go back to try some of the other 100+ items on their menu

HIT OR MISS BUT WHEN IT HITS, IT REALLY HITS! With Chinese food, I'm a taste over ambiance/service kind of girl. The service is decent every time, counter service, straight forward. The ambiance is food court- must I say more? Lol but the food quality and taste can really vary depending on what you order. Prices are all over the place; dishes that reflect $8-9 on the paper menu that they still keep on the counter is actually $12-14 now so be mindful of t Things to get: chili oil wontons, dumplings, steamed fish filet, Chinese burrito. Things to pass on: tea smoked duck, ginger scallion shrimp.

A great value for the portion size along with complimentary soup (either egg drop or vegetable). It's a self serve station along with water on the counter so don't forget either one. I was craving noodles so I ended up getting the spicy ground pork noodle. This was a dry noodle dish with a slight amount of sauce at the bottom. You can ask for less spicy which still has a tinge of spice. There weren't much ground pork but plenty of noodles. China Kitchen is located in Chinatown. Overall a good value for quality and portion. Bring cash if you want to save on a 3.5% credit card fee.

There seems to be an issue with either time management or priority because I ordered using Uber Eats for delivery. I placed the order a little after 11 am for a delivery by 12:15. I have 45 minutes for lunch, and time is crucial. Of course, after paying $24 plus tip and waiting patiently, there was a delay at the restaurant that pushed by delivery time back 30 minutes. Again, I have 45 minutes for lunch, so the 12:45 arrival puts me at 15 minutes to obtain my food, get back inside, and eat, which is unacceptable. I had to call Uber Eats and speak with someone to have my order canceled because the restaurant wanted $20+ to cancel even though the delay was theirs again, there is an issue with time management or priority. So not only was my time wasted, I didn't get lunch, I had to put forth my energy to correct the delay from the restaurant, and I had to take the time out to ensure that I got refunded. TBH...I probably won't try this location again...4 stars or not, if you can't manage your time to ensure your online orders are taken care of, especially sith the cost of eating out being so high...then you aren't the place for me.

China Kitchen is in the Chinatown Food Court, and it certainly has a very busy menu. It took me a few minutes to look at everything on the menu, and, even after doing that, I still didn't have a clue of what I wanted. It had been a while since I ordered a hot pot anywhere, and that's what I decided to order. Credit cards are accepted, and there is a sign at the counter that states a 3.5% convenience fee will be added. I ordered Beef and Vegetable Hot Pot, at a medium spice level. In hindsight, I really should've ordered mild, because while I was eating medium spicy, my sinuses drained, my tongue went numb, and (in my mind) even the plain, steamed white rice tasted spicy! Nonetheless, my hot pot was served less than 5 minutes after I ordered it, and the employee brought the food in a wok, placed it on a stand on my table and lit a candle in the stand that was used to keep my hot pot hot, like boiling hot, for a while. This delicious hot pot was packed with cuts of tender beef, slices of zucchini, tofu, cabbage, chopped up cilantro, and glass noodles. I suggest that anyone getting any of the hot pots stir everything before eating so you can have a great mix of ingredients throughout your meal. I was offered steamed white rice, hot tea and water, all unlimited and available at the counter. At the end of the meal, leave everything there and someone will come by to clean everything up. In addition to a very filling meal, which easily could've been shared, quick, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable service is what I got here. I will definitely return for future meals at China Kitchen. If hot pots are not your thing, China Kitchen also serves up dim sum and vegetable dishes. There are many Chinese dishes on the menu that give you options of having beef, lamb, pork, chicken, seafood or vegetables in it.

no flavor. dont eat here!!! spicy tilapia was old. no seasoning. bad service. everything needed seasoning. eggplant had no seasoning1st

Pre-COVID, we had only eaten here 1-2 times over several years, usually when we just wanted to try something different in the Chinatown food court. During the 1st year of COVID, we ordered here at least once a week for pickup. Excellent food. Very reasonable prices. Family run business. QUICK TIP: Listen carefully when they repeat your order. I've had items missing and once heard the wife explain to the husband in Chinese that she didn't understand what I had ordered over the phone. Rather than ask me to repeat, she just left it off. So pay attention when they're repeating your order. ANOTHER QUICK TIP: They use BeyondMenu for online orders. I prefer to order online to avoid any confusion in phone orders (see above). However, BeyondMenu does not list all available menu items. One example is the scallion pancake appetizer. It's on the menu board and printed menu but is missing from the online ordering menu. TOP FOOD PICKS: Spicy Master Dumping (must have), Scallion cake, Shanghai Soup Pork Dim Sum, Beef Chinese Burrito, Salt Pepper Squid, Spicy Ground Pork Noodle.

Seriously...the BEST. No doubt we will be back. Chinese Burrito is like eating pho in burrito form. Soup dumplings with the black vinegar at the counter perfect. Also pictured are the sesame balls, scallion pancake and house fried rice! To drink we shared a mixed fruit juice the friendly man at the counter recommended! 10/10 Taking a walk through the garden after lunch was the best ending to a delicious lunch!

Definitely a great spot to enjoy some delicious Chinese cuisine. We have a lot of dishes a try & I must say they were all DELICIOUS‼ The eggplant with brown sauce was one of my fav dishes. The flavoring is so good that you'll forget you're eating a vegetable. The salt & pepper fish was also a fav of mine with the beef hot pot . We also had Szechuan chicken and a few other dishes, but my all time FAV was the garlic chicken. Chunks of chicken covered in this delectable brown garlic sauce . I'll definitely be back because my friend recommends we try their Chinese beef burrito .

This place was not 4 stars. Unfortunately i didn't have a good experience here. I was ignored by the people when I had a question about where to pick my food up. The food smelled great, but my sesame chicken was very soggy and some pieces were cold. My "egg roll" that I asked for was a spring roll. I personally do not like spring rolls so I was pretty sat about that. The rice was the good part, but overall I was not satisfied.

Move to ATL from LA and finally found a bomb Chinese place in ATL!! It's inside of a food court. Great flavors with such AWESOME price. Definitely will be one of my go-to places from now on

I got the wide noodles with shrimp, chicken and beef. It was a little less than $10 and the plate was very full. The customer service was great as well. The cashier brought the food to my table and even asked me if I wanted the noodles to be more spicy. I said yes and she then got the chef to cook it again with more spice. The food was plentiful and I was left very satisfied. It tasted even better with more of their hot oil spice.

It's too bad this place isn't a standalone establishment instead of being in a food court, because it could EASILY earn a five-star rating. My "baseline" dish for a new Chinese restaurant is General Tso's chicken, and although their's is very good (and significantly better most other's in Atlanta), it just wasn't quite as good as their neighbor's, Chong Qing. However, I definitely was satisfied enough to keep them on my list for return visits to explore other options, which is one advantage they have over Chong Qing. China Kitchen has a more extensive menu with several dishes I intend to sample soon.

Authentic real chinese food. family ran, and tastes as good as you'll find in the states. having lived in mainland china, i'm always a little picky but this place is a home run. typical american chinese dishes, but also have lots of traditional dishes like the tea smoked duck. incredible.

Located inside an Asian food court, this place delivers no frills, quality Chinese food at an amazing price. It may be hard to find as it is part of a larger mall and parking is tight during peak times. The lighting in the food court leaves much to be desired and there are multiple stands selling similar food items. We came to this stand particularly for the soup dumplings and were not disappointed. The food came out quickly and while the cafeteria style table seating did not have condiments, each stand had their own. This one had everything you would find in a normal restaurant and the kicker was the wonton chip station where you could get as many as you wanted for an appetizer.

Come here all the time. Family owned and operated, delicious food, fast friendly service. Food court atmosphere, but worth the experience. You will be back!

I want to have Asian food Today then I order the food on the Uber Eat APP, is more convenient for me .^ - ^ When I opened the plate, It was a very nice presentation。。z The seasoning Beef Dry Hot Pot Taste So-so because I just feel the sauce is not very right and a little bit weird 。The Cumin Lamb taste a little bit light but I still like the cumin favor tho 。。z Anyway I enjoy the both plate and have a great lunch time with the anime episodes 。(⁎⁍⁍⁎)

Stopped by here in Chinatown food court and decided to try their scallion pancake. Since I only got the one item, I don't really have the full picture of the food here, but the scallion pancake was...not bad, but not really great either. The texture was chewy but not as chewy as the ones at Dim Sum Heaven. While it also wasn't quite as greasy as Dim Sum Heaven ones, it was...pretty greasy. The taste was good but not mind blowing. I do want to come back and try some other items and give it a second chance at some point, but as for scallion pancakes, I would recommend going elsewhere - even just next door to New Lanzhou Noodle; they have some there and they're pretty good.

An authentic value. Get started with the Master Dumplings (my favorite) or Chili Oil Wontons. You'll see standard Chinese fare, Hot Pot, Clay Pot, as well as some unique dishes, like the Stir Fried Pork Kidney which I love. (All entrees include soup and rice) Nothing fancy, cafeteria type decor, but a great place to feed the family or grab quick lunch or dinner on a budget! 5 Stars based on bang for the buck!

Not to be confused with 'Gina Kitchen, which is a local brothel. Pretty good dumplings from this very cheap and awesomely authentic place inside the Chinatown food court. It's right next to two of my favorite Chinese food places in the whole of the South so it has a lot to compete with, but it still holds its own and I'm a fan. At Chongqing get Lamb Cumin over noodles. At Tsingtao try the Lamb Cumin sticks. Now if you sticks with it, I'm about to write another review.

This place is in a small Chinese food court. I initially thought it would be in a grocery store (H mart style), but it's just this lone food court. China Kitchen was delicious. They give complimentary white rice (and maybe some sauces for on top), black tea, and water. We got eggplant with garlic sauce and loved it, although I bet the brown sauce one may be even better. It came out super hot from the kitchen! We also got the master dumplings but weren't in love, although, the texture was great. I think the flavor was on point, but there was some Asian herb in it that wasn't to our taste. On the other hand, the red chili wontons are TO DIE FOR! We even got an extra order to go. They're soft and delicate and perfect!! I want to eat them every single day. They aren't too spicy either - if someone is very sensitive. When we were there, the young girl spoke fluent English and was happy to answer questions about the menu! We will be back!

We tried the XXL soup dumpling here. The wait was about 30 minutes for it so we ordered food at another place also. The soup dumpling came out much bigger than normal ones and was the first one we ever tried. The hype was too much, it was good but not the best thing ever. I probably wouldn't get the big one again, but I would try the small ones. The big one was cool but immediately the soup was everywhere but in it and it wouldn't have been enough for a meal. It did have a ton of stuff inside like shrimp, mushrooms and pork (I think) and was super good so it was worth trying but little ones seem to be the way to go. This place is inside the Chinatown food court where you can get most any Chinese food. There's limited parking though so beware during lunchtime.

Cheap, healthy portions, and delicious - can't go wrong with those combinations. We ordered the fish filet hot pot and it was $10 and some change and could easily feed two people. Flavor was delicious, veggies and fish were fresh. You don't go here for the atmosphere, you go for the food, so bear that in mind

I love the garlic spicy green beans, pan fried dumplings, soup dumplings and sesame balls - try them all! This restaurant is part of a Chinese food court in Chamblee. I call it "Chinese food heaven" . It's delicious and well worth a visit.

Atlanta's Chinatown is not quite a Chinatown... It's more of a food court, so don't expect it to be something extravagant (or even close to it) like LA, NY, or SF. That being said, there are some great spots there! I tried out China Kitchen, which is excellent for fast and cheap food! The food is delicious and so inexpensive - everything there is around $10 or less. My favorite dishes I got were the eggplant with garlic sauce, spicy chicken, and salt and pepper fish.

China Kitchen is one of seven food court stalls at the Atlanta Chinatown Mall in Chamblee. At the time of writing this review, the seven options are (starting from the far-left storefront and working clockwise): Top One Gourmet Yanmi Yanmi Lan Zhou China Kitchen Chong Qing Hot Pot Cocina Linda Vista Hong Kong BBQ Lan Zhou, Chong Qing Hot Pot, and Hong Kong BBQ seem to be the most popular vendors here (and for good reason - they all have good food). However, I think China Kitchen is underrated and can certainly hold its own. This place serves authentic and tasty Chinese food at reasonable prices. A couple important notes: Like other businesses at the Chinatown food court, China Kitchen is cash only. Also, the business is closed on Tuesdays. Several years ago, China Kitchen's menu consisted of nothing but a wall of Chinese text and a handful of pictures. That overwhelming menu still exists today with nearly 130 items (I counted). Luckily, there's an English menu now plus more pictures, including a handy photo album you can flip through. The photo album is kind of gross. It's been thumbed through so many times that oil and smudge have built up on the album's pages. The English menu has about 160 (!) different items. They include cold appetizers like Sichuan Style Cold Noodles and Fuqi Fei Pian (Sichuan "husband and wife lung slices" - sliced beef and beef offal); beef and lamb dishes such as Sliced Beef in Hot Chili Oil, Chinese Flowering Cabbage with Beef, and Lamb with Cumin; chicken dishes like Chengdu Dry Chili Chicken and Sliced Chicken with Black Mushrooms; pork dishes such as Braised Spare Ribs and Intestines with Pickled Cabbage; seafood like Whole Fish in Hot Bean Sauce and Sliced Fish and Bitter Melon with Black Bean Sauce; hot pot (e.g. tofu, spare rib, and sliced fish hot pot); vegetable and tofu plates; and "specials" such as Shanghai Juicy Steamed Pork Buns (a.k.a. xiaolongbao / soup dumplings), Deep-Fried Dough Sticks (youtiao / crullers), dumplings, tea eggs, noodle soups, and Singapore noodles. Suffice to say the menu is deep and there is a great variety of Chinese cuisine to be had from Cantonese to Sichuan. A lot of the appetizers, dumplings, and vegetable and tofu items are only $5-7 each. Most meat, seafood, and hot pot entrees run about $7-10 each. Solid value. If dining in, food is served on/in actual restaurant dinnerware. However, bowls for rice/condiments and cups for water/tea are made of cheap disposable Styrofoam. If ordering to-go, everything is nicely packed and bagged in Styrofoam and plastic. Like Chong Qing Hot Pot next door, China Kitchen has a large community rice cooker. You are free to take as much white rice as you'd like from the rice cooker. Next to the rice cooker is a small condiments tray with stuff like soy sauce, vinegar sauce (for dumplings and soup), chili oil, etc. Finally, a cooler of water and a hot Chinese tea canister are located to the right of the register. One thing that's good that isn't printed on the menu is the Steamed Pork Dumplings with Green Onions. One order is $6.50 and comes with 15 dumplings. These are essentially pot stickers (jiaozi) that have been steamed instead of fried. Be sure to eat these with the soy-vinegar and/or spicy chili dipping sauces. They are terrific for sharing. Another delicious snack to get here is the Chinese Chive Pie (or Chive Pocket). The literal translation of this dish (韭菜盒子) is "chive box." I don't believe this is on the printed menu either. I'm pretty sure I saw this dish in the photo album or posted as a picture on the wall. China Kitchen's version of the Chive Pie consists of plenty of chopped Chinese garlic chives, translucent cellophane noodles, and egg wrapped in a fried dough shell. You could consider this the traditional Chinese version of a Hot Pocket except with a softer outer layer and no oozy cheese or sauces inside. It's definitely much better than a Hot Pocket. :) The Leek Flower with Hot Chicken ($7.95) is a flavorful Sichuan dish that is comparable to something you can get next door at Chong Qing Hot Pot, Tasty China in Marietta (Shan City Chicken), Masterpiece in Duluth, Man Chun Hong on Buford Highway, Gu's Dumplings at Krog Street Market (Chongqing Spicy Chicken), Cafe Q in Johns Creek, etc. China Kitchen's rendition is terrific for food court food. When I ordered this dish, my tablemates couldn't wait to dig in upon seeing it. While I think the full-service restaurants make this dish slightly better, China Kitchen's take is still quite tasty with delectable, crispy morsels of flash-fried chicken and those addictively mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers and peppercorns. Service is good. Orders are ready in about 10 minutes.

Ate here for long time and then had 2 off meals with their dry hot pot, and found a cockroach stir fried in my lamb dry hotpot, like seriously how the F do you allow this to happen? Especially to one of your best customers who brings all his friends there? I have been so disgusted by this and don't trust these restaurants anymore. I still gag and almost throw up thinking about this, grossssssssss af!!!

China Kitchen is located in the food court of the China Town mall. The menu is an enticing sample of Chinese cuisine. Several different types of dumplings as well as a Chinese burrito! My call in order was made when I arrived to pick it up so it was still hot and fresh when I returned home. A welcome touch! Spicy Dry Hot Pot with Shrimp was perfectly spiced and generously loaded with vegetables and shrimp Cumin lamb also generously portioned and spiced. I'll be back to try the Chinese Burrito and several other tempting items!

I came here for lunch and normally try the spot next door to here and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the Basil Chicken. You have unlimited amounts of soup and white steam rice here. The basil chicken was simply amazing. I loved it. It was so tasty that I wanted more. Be warned that this place and most places here charge a 3.5% fee if you use credit cards to pay. I believed my total bill was $10.00 even. I have attached a photo of the dish. I will definitely be back to try out more selections from the menu here. Very friendly employees here as well.

Went there last night and got the Mongolian Lamb. Shame on you China Kitchen! Do you realize how many other Asian restaurants I will now pass just to get to your place??? Not only was the food delicious and exactly what I expected the gentleman at the front counter was super friendly and he made sure I understood the other dishes they serve. At this price point and value for what you receive I definitely will be back.

I was the first one here at 10:22 on a Thursday morning. Damn I love this food court. China Kitchen sits in between Chong Qing Hot Pot and Lan Zhou Noodle (fav). They serve everything from steamed pork buns which are fabulous, soup dumplings, bubble tea, Chinese donut, lo mein, fried rice, best basil chicken in town, dry + spicy bone in lamb hot pot, sizzling squid-- the list goes on and on. My favorites here are the steamed pork buns that are oh so pillowy and soft, and the monster soup dumpling that comes with a straw. It's 7 times the size of a regular dumpling and can be shared (or not). Made from scratch daily right behind the counter they fill each dumpling with mushroom, pork, and shrimp but come early- they only make about 20 of them everyday!! Suck out the soup and eat the insides and skin with black vinegar dipping sauce. I add sriracha and soy sauce to mine bc noms. Basil chicken also highly recommended and fried dumpling shouldn't be missed. They make Mongolian Lamb for petes sake. Freakin delicious y'all. Come check out the food court with friends and order a variety of items to try! Don't forget your cash

China Kitchen is located inside the Chinatown Food Court. The meal did not disappoint! Basil Eggplant- cooked perfectly, not too greasy or salty, sauce was flavorful and delicious Braised Bean Curd with Brown Sauce- bean curd cooked perfectly, silky on the inside, not too chewy or dry on the outside, lots of fresh veggies Pan Fried Dumplings- good, but not the best I've ever had All you can eat, serve your own white rice! 3.25% service charge on credit cards

I came to this food court with my boyfriend for lunch and ordered their potstickers and soy milk. The soymilk was only 1.25 for a large cup and comes unsweetened (they have sugar on the side if you want to add it). There are 15 potstickers per order. Although these pot stickers look a lot like the boiled dumplings - they were pan fried so that they were very crispy (Love the crispy texture!). You can definitely tell these are pretty home-made, but nevertheless not bad. Remember: Every establishment in the food court is cash only!

The dumplings here were on point. The garlic chicken was great and well seasoned, we were skeptical at first because we saw a spice beside it indicating spiciness, but all in all it wasn't that spicy and it satisfied the both of us.

China Garden is the place that I go to while in the Atlanta Chinatown Food Court for Xiao Long Bao. These XLB are tasty, and filled with soup. However, the souo will never make it to your mouth because the dumpling skin is welded to the bottom of the basket/lettuce/cabbage/whatever. So, when you delicately lift the XLB, they tear and all of the soup comes out all over the place. It is sad. But, like I said, it is the only place to get XLB in Atlanta Chinatown Food Court.

This China Kitchen restaurant is located in Chinatown Chamblee. (There were 3 when I googled the name.) You can find China Kitchen in the middle of the food court. It reminds me of the food hawkers in Singapore and other parts of Southeast Asia. This is food stall eating at its best! They serve the monster xiao long bao or XL Soup Bao. This is the only place in Georgia that makes these XL homemade soup dumplings. It's $7.45 for each and it comes with unlimited egg drop soup or hot and sour soup and white rice. I think they only make 15 a day. I could be wrong. The soup is tasty and full of pork and shrimp. Beware it's hot if you decide to use the straw. Take your time and enjoy the soup. The menu is affordable. Each dish is between $7-$11. The plates are full of food and you get your monies worth. I had the sizzling beef, green beans with pork, regular order of xiao long bao, onion cakes and of course 2 XL soup bun for around $45. That fed 3 people and with plenty leftover. Good price and plenty of food to go around. Oh, there's AC in the food court now for those who haven't been back to Chinatown in years like me. It's renovated and clean. Glad China Kitchen pulled me back.

FYI: CASH ONLY Man I loved my time at China Kitchen! Don't get me wrong, it took some time to find my way here, as I walked around the Chinatown food court two or three times checking menus and following my nose, which ultimately led me here to China Kitchen. Amazingly the line at China kitchen was almost non-existent, so I was able to walk right up to order their dry chili chicken with bone ($8.25) The dish can be intimidating to look at initially as this the chicken is SWIMMING in red chili peppers! Don't let that scare you away though, because the chicken is flavored great and not spicy at all...well, not until you bite into a chili pepper, but you don't HAVE to do that. The chicken, as described, are little small bites of chicken wrapped in little small pieces of bone. The flavors are great because the chicken's flavors are cooked in (no sauce). You get with your order steamed rice and a soup of your choice, which is self serve next door to China kitchen. There are also water stations all over the place if you want a drink. Let staff know where you're sitting and they'll bring your food out to you as well. I enjoyed my meal in China kitchen, and will be back!

I usually hit up the restaurant adjacent to this one. I brought my gf here and she decided to give China Kitchen a chance while I opted with where I usually go. Oh. My. God. These place is equally legit. IT IS SOOOOOO yummy! Complimentary soup is delish but their actual noodle soup is to die for. The noodles have a great chew to them. Chewy noodles. Big fan. I love.

Came by for dinner wanting to try the big soup dumpling but they said it would take 30 minutes to steam. So we tried some other things like the mini soup dumplings ($7) and the steamed pork bun (like $1.25 each), and sizzling beef ($8ish). Sadly... none of it was all that good. It didnt taste bad but the beef was salty and chewy. The server brought it to us in a bowl and then poured it onto a hot skillet in front of us sort of awkwardly. The soup dumplings were just okay and the steamed pork bun was mediocre. The meat was a small lump inside, not fresh. Wouldnt come back. Its a 2.5. Ill rate as 3 because the food is not awful.. just not good.

**UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP** Have visited twice now - the soup dumplings are a MUST TRY! Steamed dumplings and onion bread are also very tasty. Have yet to try any of the tea options, but now that it's warming up, I'm sure one of the cold bubble teas is in the cards. As of now, you can pay by credit card, but there will be a 3% fee added. Best to bring cash. Both visits were less than $20 for two people and we still have at least two more servings worth of leftovers.

Jet lagged and hungry, we needed something quick and easy. Not all the shops are open in the Chinatown food court on Monday, so we ordered a dish or two from China Kitchen. We ordered the eggplant and sautéed vegetables (Chinese broccoli, I believe is the English translation). The eggplant was slightly under cooked and not as saucy as it could have been. The vegetables were not oily enough (what a complaint, I know), which made the vegetables slightly less light and crisp tasting. However, I do appreciate the complimentary soup, rice, water and tea that is provided at this stall. The rice was a little hard (obviously been sitting out all night, if not all day) and the soups left much to be desired, unfortunately. If you are at the food court on a Monday, this is the only place to get your traditional dishes. Otherwise, stick to Chong Qing Hot Pot for your traditional Chinese dish needs!

Having been a lifelong DeKalb resident, I just have to say hands-down, China Kitchen/Atlanta Chinatown (New Peachtree Rd). is one of the best places to get good authentic Chinese in our entire county there's no disputing that. The specific night I was there 10/7 was actually my first time going to the Atlanta Chinatown food Court in Chamblee. Also not to mention, that specific day being Friday night in metro Atlanta of course, was very busy, and there was only one guy working the entire front counter who looked to be in his 50's to 60s somewhere in that range which honestly says a lot about his dedication to his job and how important hard work is to a lot of these businesses, which I could easily observe from the get-go as someone working a restaurant, a fast one I might add but God bless him for the dedication. My orange chicken, and lo mein were amazing, best I've ever had in my life. You can expect a second visit from me going forward, please keep up the good work to those at China kitchen and other businesses in Chinatown mall

According to my friends from china, this place has the best food, cheap and most authentic. After seeing huge entrees for only 8 dollars or less, I was kind of shocked with the prices. The service was fast. I liked their fish dishes. We got two types, both were good. But one that basically came with extremely spicy soul and cabbage was the best. Dry chili chicken was good but maybe too dry (lol). We also got the tofu and vegetable plate. Soup, rice, water are free. Spicy red soup is better than yellow chicken soup. Sorry for not knowing the names. I would be lost without friends. Lol. Because of the cheap prices and quality, i considered quitting cooking and just buying my lunches in to-go boxes. I am giving four stars because it is not a restaurant but a food court. Also i didnt like the rice, and I am someone who loves rice.
