Gu's Kitchen offers delightful handmade dumplings and flavorful Sichuan dishes, making it a must-visit for authentic Chinese flavors in a relaxed vibe.
"The mention of Gu’s Kitchen brings back memories that trigger our salivary glands. If you've not yet had the pleasure, then give them a visit, especially this Buford Highway location, which has the full Sichuan street food menu (unlike their stall in Krog Street Market). While some sichuan dishes are known for their overpowering heat, Gu’s dishes are all well balanced. Try the saucy mapo tofu, zhong-style dumplings, and Chengdu cold noodles, which come on a dish with what looks like levitating chopsticks. And the sichuan french fries—topped with minced garlic, dried red chili peppers, and other spices—are a nice switch-up to the many dry-fried eggplant dishes around the area. Come on a Sunday when the casual, mid-sized venue isn’t crowded and you can hog their friendly service to yourself." - candy hom

"The tender, hearty dumplings at Gu’s have made it a longtime favorite stop at Krog City Market. When you’re not in the mood for the usual hot dog or burger, it’s a solid choice that won’t leave you feeling too heavy to jump around during the Foo Fighters’ set." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"The family behind beloved Gu’s Bistro made a triumphant return to Buford Highway in 2018 with a brand new restaurant, Gu’s Kitchen. The menu is a mix of the family’s Krog Street Market food stall Gu’s Dumplings and the bistro’s greatest hit. Expect familiar favorites like the wildly popular Chengdu cold noodles, Zhong-style dumplings, and spicy dried eggplant, alongside sweet and spicy thick noodles, spicy dry-fried beef noodles, and mapo tofu. Be sure to ask about their daily specials, like Gu’s Bistro’s popular tea-smoked duck." - Beth McKibben
"Gu’s Kitchen, from the owners of Gu’s Dumplings and former Gu’s Bistro, opened in the former Yong He Zhi Jia restaurant space in 2019. The menu is a mix of Gu’s Dumplings and the bistro’s greatest hits, and includes the popular Zhong-style dumplings swimming in an oily chile sauce. Orders come by the half-dozen or dozen, with the option to order pork, chicken, or vegetable-filled dumplings. Check out Gu’s Dumplings at Krog Street Market or at Halcyon in Alpharetta." - Eater Staff
