China Kitchen

My husband and I would always choose China Kitchen when eating out at the ATL China Town. The food is tasty and authentic. It is placed inside the China Town food court, which reminds me of a hawker style eatery. I love this place. A few of my posted photos show the food being placed in takeout containers, as I did not order for dine-in in those instances, but if you ask to dine in, the food will be served in proper plates and bowls, or even hot pots, depending on what you order. Please be aware that there is a small add-on fee if you use a credit card. I personally would try to bring cash whenever I come here, but there is an ATM inside the food court as well if you need it.

Atlanta's Chinatown is not quite a Chinatown... It's more of a food court, so don't expect it to be something extravagant (or even close to it) like LA, NY, or SF. That being said, there are some great spots there! I tried out China Kitchen, which is excellent for fast and cheap food! The food is delicious and so inexpensive - everything there is around $10 or less. My favorite dishes I got were the eggplant with garlic sauce, spicy chicken, and salt and pepper fish.

Yes, it's a food court... this isn't date night ambience. Yes, it's Chinese food, *not* American Chinese. Go elsewhere for orange chicken or beef with broccoli (you might be disappointed). Would highly recommend dry hot pot with fish (dried cuts of fish, cumin seasoning, lots of vegetables), spicy chicken (I don't know how they get it so crispy), red chili oil wontons or the master dumplings, salt and pepper fish/squid (not spicy at all but perfectly crunchy), and twice cooked pork. All but the pork pictured here.

Ordered dry pot, mapo tofu, and spicy master dumplings from China Kitchen. Ordered the chongqing chicken and szechuan fish from Chongqing Hotpot - the vendor directly to the right of China Kitchen. The gentleman managing China Kitchen was extremely courteous and friendly as he brought out our dishes to us at our table. He even mentioned that he used to cook authentic Chinese food at a really nice hotel in China before. Absolutely loved the Spicy Master Dumplings from China Kitchen as well as the Szechuan Fish from Chongqing Hotpot - highly recommend these two dishes.

I never heard of this place before and when I saw it on GrubHub, I thought it was worth a try. I ordered the “Seasoning Beef Dry Hot Pot” (spicy), and a side of spring rolls. The order arrived quickly, correct and complete, and packaged well for delivery. The beef was cooked and spiced really well and was tasty. The spicy part was accurate...it wasn’t overwhelmingly spicy, but most definitely let you know it was there!! Interesting mix of veggies that worked very well together. Surprised by how well the potatoes fit in the mix. Never had lotus root before and my personal jury’s still out on those. The rice was cooked perfectly and the side of spring rolls (comes with four) were excellent. Overall, the food was delicious and came with generous portions. I always try to form my own opinion so I’m not biased by other people’s comments (I don’t read reviews until after I try food). I was surprised by some of the reviews, as I really enjoyed the food. I would certainly order from here again.
