"I find Masterpiece, tucked in an unassuming strip mall in Duluth, a long-standing favorite for mouth‑numbing Sichuan specialties—dong po pork arrives as a square of meltingly tender pork belly in a vibrant dark-brown sauce, and skinned eggplant sliced into thick matchsticks is lightly fried, dusted with chili powder and pepper ash powder for a gorgeous crunch and creamy center that showcases the kitchen's skill." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In Duluth, Masterpiece is identified as a Chinese restaurant that appears on the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural American South Bib Gourmand list." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Masterpiece is a family-owned and operated Sichuan restaurant with dishes created by chef Rui Liu. 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 a bit of heat. Masterpiece is worth the trek north from Atlanta and a great place to enjoy a family-style meal with friends." - Michael Tran
"Masterpiece sits near the northern end of Buford Highway, right where you might feel like you're crossing state lines. The Sichuan dishes here are worth every mile. The savory Zhong dumplings are packed with pork and vegetables and come swimming in a rich, tangy sauce that’s both spicy and sweet. The crispy boneless chicken with dry red pepper is another must-try, with crackly skin and juicy meat (fair warning—it’s fiery). Grab your crew, claim a booth in the spacious dining room, and catch up over plates that’ll have you reaching for your water glass." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Masterpiece sits up in northern Duluth, where you might question which state you're in. But even if you’re coming from South Atlanta, their Sichuan dishes make the journey worth it—especially the savory Zhong dumplings swimming in a sweet-spicy sauce. Another favorite, the crispy boneless chicken with dried red pepper may have you repeatedly reaching for your water glass (fair warning: it's very spicy). The dining room is airy, with big booths and large round tables, so it makes sense to bring your crew for a family-style dinner or lunch." - jacinta howard
