J-Bistro

If I could give this place six stars, I would. This is hands down the best Sichuan cuisine in Atlanta. I highly recommend going during the lunch special (1:30–3:00 PM), where you get an entree, a spring roll, and soup for just $12. I had the hot boiled fish, and it was absolutely delicious. There’s plenty of seating, even during lunch hours, making it a great spot for both big and small groups. The food is outstanding, and one of the best parts is the large window where you can watch the chefs at work—an added bonus to an already fantastic dining experience.

The manager is insane. I order walnut shrimp and it was super salty like some one pour the whole salt 🧂 in it . When I told him he grabbed my plate and he threw it in the garbage with a huge attitude like I have never seen in my life . I don’t know if he was having a bad day but I will not be coming back to this restaurant at all. I will not recommend it for no one 😡😡😡

Amazing authentic Chinese food. Prices are low compared to the quality and quantity of a dish. Most dishes can be shared by 2 folks so ask. Quick service. Don't be afraid of the chilli and spice in the pictures online...it's not hot but more flavourful. They have some of the standard Chinese stuff but they shine in the authentic ones. Easy on the wallet especially for families or casual date night.

Super tasty Chinese food! Definitely one of the best Chinese places I’ve tried around Atlanta. The cumin lamb was tender and extremely flavorful with each savory bite. The fish dry pot featured crispy fish and an assortment of various vegetables that complemented the spicy, numbing mala undertones particularly well. Will come back to try other items on the menu!

Dinners with Dad, episode 889, still can’t shake this straggler edition…Dropped mom off and went to one of our favorites…the manager and owner always take great care of us, especially our dad…I’ve said it before and I stand by my statement, this is the best place for jajjangmyeon and jjampong in the city, maybe in the southeast! These dishes are Chinese dishes made by Chinese folks who grew up in Korea…there is a special on Netflix dedicated to these noodle dishes that I’ll link to below…hand made, pan fried dumplings, jellyfish salad, jajjangmyeon, and jjampong…we were taking pics of the menu on the way out and the manager chased my dad down and handed him a copy to take home…if you’ve asked me for food recs in Atlanta, especially Asian, 99% chance I’ve recommended J’s!

Their soy sauce braised pork belly with tofu is phenomenal. Every dish was solid, especially the beef stir fried rice noodles which had a great smoky wok hei flavor.

I don’t visit this place often, but I came a few years ago after being introduced to a Korean-Chinese restaurant, and I remembered the old flavor. This time, the food arrived quickly after ordering, which was nice. The sweet and sour pork was disappointing. The batter was much thicker than the meat itself. At first, the heavy coating masked the odor, but once it cooled and I separated the batter, the meat underneath gave off an unpleasant smell. The black bean noodles also fell short. It seemed like the meat and lard were stir-fried together, but the lard ratio was so high. The flavor and texture felt unbalanced, missing the richness and depth I remembered from the past. This used to be one of the few Korean-Chinese restaurants in the old Koreatown in Doraville, but unfortunately, the “old flavor” that once made it special is gone. With the quality now, I don’t see much reason to return.

As an American married to a Korean, I have tried my fair share of Asian restaurants. The food here tastes exactly like what I had in Korea and my husband said he felt like he was home. We both really loved the food. It was so good, by far the best place we have found in America that is authentic. Another amazing aspect is you can watch the chefs as they cook your food through this long window, and watch the fire show that is just amazing to watch them cook with. From behind the window those chefs look like rockstars.The amazing food and watching the chefs as they cook has now made this my new favorite place. I highly recommend.
