Masterpiece

I absolutely love Szechuan food. And I must say, this place lives up to it's name. Every. Single. Thing. Was a MASTERPIECE! Sorry, that was corny. BUT it was true. It takes a lot for me to leave the perimeter, so I was a little nervous about this place, but I took the advice of friends of friends and went some pals, AND I'M GLAD I DID. Must haves: crispy pork (eat this WITH the radish slices), Zhong Style Dumplings, garlic eggplant.

It was our first time and will be the last time. We ordered five dinner dishes. Except for the fried rice we could not eat as all four dishes were extremely salty and over seasoned. We have dined at Masterpiece on Buford Hwy location and food has always been exceptional. The server noticed and asked why we did not eat our food. When I explained how incredibly salty they were she said we were the ones who were too sensitive. The server did not attempt to find out whether the food was as bad as I described them to be. We left all the food behind. I even paid in full including her tip despite. I do NOT recommend this restaurant.

This, to me, is one of the finest schezwan restaurants in Atlanta. All of the dishes I've had so far to die for. But we especially love the fried eggplant, and the fish hot pot (broth base).

I really wanted to give this place a solid 4 stars. The food was delicious, and authentic Szechuan recipes, which didn't contain a plethora of salt - like some other restaurants. The portions for each dish were enough to share . The prices were right at what I would expect for the neighborhood . Though, the wine per glass was priced slightly high in my opinion. The atmosphere is clean and laid out very nicely. The bathrooms are clean, and there is plenty of space for wheel chair accessibility. There is also ample parking all around the perimeter of the restaurant. The reason I could not in good conscience give this place 4 stars is because the customer service was not good. After ordering our food. No one checked to see if we were ok or if we wanted anything else. I had to flag the waitress down to request lemon wedges for my order. When we were done eating, we were met with the bill and absolutely no hospitality. The waitress never even said thank you for the tip. As much as I enjoyed the food, I value good customer service, and for this reason, I will not be returning to this establishment.

Really love the food here! Awesome Chinese cuisine and fantastic Peking duck
