Atlanta's Chinese Restaurant Collection II

Last week, I talked about Chinese restaurants that are famous and popular. So today, I'll focus more on completing the collection with Sichuan and Cantonese food. To make it not so crowded, other specialty food, such as hot pot and grills will be in the next collection.

By the way, I wouldn't list all those American Chinese restaurant, because my taste buds said no :P To be honest, they are just not authentic. Even if you are in a good Chinese restaurants, always ask for CHINESE MENUS. That's where you would get good quality delicious food.

Sichuan, a province of China, is famous for its spicy food and beautiful ladies. If you are confident about your spice tolerate level, try those dished stacked with chilies and hot sauces.

Located in Johns Creek, they have nice decorations and delicious dished. It is definitely worth trying if you are around the area. Liu Fu is quite on the top of my favorite Chinese restaurant list.

Another solid Sichuan restaurant in Johns Creek. Again, clean and nice ambience with decent food. They also have generous portion. I personally adore them, especially their pork intestine dish.

My Chinese Restaurant Collections I

Being in Atlanta for more than three years, I feel almost justified to put down a part of my Chinese restaurant collection list here.

1 Bo Bo Garden 煲煲好
Address: 5181 Buford Highway, Doraville, GA 30340
Phone: 678-547-1881
Lobsters, and authentic stone bowl rice are must try. Apart from that, they almost always provide good authentic Cantonese food. Every one would have a good time, since their cuisines tend to be sweet, and not hot.

2 Gu's Bistro (Closed for now) 渝蓉和 (CLOSED)
N/A
Spicy Alert!! Solid Si-chuan style food(川菜). They are only open for dinner time, and prepare to wait for 45 minutes if you don't reserve. Gu's Bistro is a paradise for people who love spicy food. Their price is more to the high end. Unfortunately, they are closed at the Buford Highway location, and will reopen in downtown area.

3 Royal China 金冠酒楼
Address: 3295 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd Atlanta, GA 30341
Phone: 770-216-9933
Definitely go there at dinner time. It has nice ambience and solid family dishes. I personally enjoy their novelty dishes and seasonal dishes. Really, skip all the ordinary fish and beef and adventure to some other meat, such as peking duck, chicken feet, you will thank me late. Trying their dim-sum is still on my to-do list.

Korean BBQ Place List

Who doesn't like meat? Especially when it comes to all-you-can-eat juicy Korean BBQ meat! I feel so lucky being surrounded by a bunch of authentic Korean Barbecue places, and it better share with you. The list is mainly about All-You-Can-Eat style BBQ place. I'll write another post for other Korean restaurants.



1. 678
Address: 3880 Satellite Blvd, Duluth, GA 30096
Phone: 678-417-6780
The real Charcoal BBQ Place with all kinds of pork belly. Their salad dressing is addictive. And I always feel satisfied watching eggs being steamed. Charcoal-heated meat may not be healthy, but it is easy to control the temperature, dramatic to watch and totally tasty. It is also my favorite Korean AYCE BBQ place, since I haven't been to Breakers, which is the same style restaurant newly opened in Duluth.

2 Oh! My SamGyupSal
Address: 3585 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Duluth, GA 30096
Phone: 770-623-8411
Admittedly, it does not have the best location for Atlantans. Lots of people may overlook it. But they give out free salads, eggs and fried rice, which is very nice. The only downside, services could be inconsistent since they are usually somewhat packed at weekend nights.

The Very First Post!

Hello! This is the first post, and welcome! I decided to show all of my foodie side on this blog. It is also a good change to learn and practice WordPress.

While it is okay to do all the memory notes about restaurants I've been to and recipes I've used, it would be more interesting to write it down, and maybe helping others and myself too. Coming from China and living in Atlanta for more than three years, I will definitely provide my unique angles about all the food.
