Masterpiece offers a laid-back strip-mall vibe where you can savor authentic Sichuan dishes, from soup dumplings to spice-laden roasted duck.
"Chef Rui Liu has created a following of people who frequent this family-owned and operated Sichuan restaurant in Duluth. From the Chongqing-style noodles and dry spicy eggplant to tea-smoked duck and shredded beef or pork with hot peppers, few things on the menu don’t come with heat at Masterpiece. The Duluth Chinese restaurant continues to be worth the trek north from Atlanta and a great place to enjoy a family-style Sichuan meal." - Michael Tran, Eater Staff

"Purple Potato Juice Dumplings & Zhong Style Dumplings Even with an unremarkable dining room, Masterpiece in Duluth is where we’d take out-of-town guests to wow them with tasty entrees that are just as impressive as their stellar dumplings. The purple potato juice dumplings are vegetarian (filled with egg, tofu, bean thread noodle, and mushroom) and can hold their own against any meat-filled dumpling. The color of the wrapper is from purple potatoes, which is both visually appealing and adds a slightly earthy taste. The Zhong dumplings are pork- and veggie-filled, served swimming in a bowl of a rich soy and chili oil dumpling sauce that is spicy, sweet, and vinegary—a lot of flavor going on, andt it all works. Save the sauce after you finish the dumplings, and drizzle it onto your rice. " - candy hom
