"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 a luxurious chili oil. 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." - Candy Hom
"If you like the dumplings at their stall in Krog Street Market, the original Doraville location of Gu’s Kitchen has a bigger menu of Sichuan street foods that you'll probably love. Plus, there’s a dine-in space, and although small-ish, the friendly service makes you feel like you're dining with family. The Zhong-style dumplings are always a standout and come drenched in a savory, slightly sweet chili sauce that complements the flavorful pork, chicken, or vegetable filling. If you’re up for heat, the crispy Chongqing Spicy Chicken, packed with dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns, delivers a nice kick." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"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
