Dim Sum Quest- Atlanta

UPDATE: Found great dim sum!!!! See my last review on the list for Golden House. Original list description: I've pretty much given up on this one...I don't think great dim sum exists in Atlanta (especially a la carte and to go) so I'll have to settle for just good dim sum.

All pretty good here- kudos on the carts that fry up the turnip cake (my fave). Also love the fresh hot tofu dessert with gingery sugar syrup. Dim sum carts serves up the usual goods- har gao shrimp dumplings, shumai, rice wrapped in leaves, fluffy…More »

Dim sum pig out has become my annual Chinese New Year tradition and China Delight delivered this year! Even though we were a small group, we filled our small table full of the little silver tins of food goodness. My faves & highlights included:…More »

Great place for Northern Chinese eats- like many others, I enjoyed the shanghai soupy dumplings (xiao long bao), the scallion pancake, pork dumplings, and fried dough. Wish they also had rice porridge to go with the very fresh fried dough but that…More »

Definitely old school Cantonese food here- right down to the dingy interior and fried noodles made in house from cut-up egg roll wrappers. Reminds me on some of the old school Cantonese places in New York and Boston I grew up with.

So I traveled 20…More »

Chinese food stand the food court has closed :( I came here to get some cheap congee and a la carte dim sum but encountered an empty space. The food court itself is very empty looking, with not too many options.

Supermarket is still very well…More »

3.5 stars. I came here for Saturday "brunch" dim sum, soon after they opened in the morning (10am). The restaurant is in the same plaza as Hong Kong Supermarket, with plenty of parking available. Spacious and open, the decor is pretty gross, but…More »

The dim sum isn't that bad at this place, but their awful service knocks it way down on the star ratings. None of the staff spoke Cantonese either, which I find strange in a restaurant named Canton House...so my food requests in Cantonese were…More »

YEEEEEEEESSSSS.

That's the sound of my food-gasm, as I ate the best bao EVER. I tried both the pork buns (aka "bao") and pineapple custard bao fresh from the oven and piping hot...light and fluffy, baked to a light golden brown, delicious filling.…More »

Recently updated lists from Lucy W.

Inman Park/Old 4th Ward (25) Inman Park and Old Fourth Ward! Trying out all the places near where I live...love this neighborhood.	Making myself pretty (or at the very least- not scary) (10) I don't wake up looking like this...I gotta work at it. OK, not "work" per se, more like "pay" for it.
Decatur (9) Tons of great places to eat & imbibe...all within walking distance of a square.	Tastes of the Far East (20) Asian restaurants in Atlanta- I'm slowly compiling reviews from all the Asian restaurants I've tried in Atlanta- Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc...no 5-stars yet but plenty of 2-3-4 star places.
Carbo Loading- Italian Style (Atlanta) (9) Italian dining in Atlanta has made me a little gun shy...while I love Italian food, I had a couple awful Italian food experiences when I first arrived in this city and usually end up at the same 2-3 Italian places I do like...so hopefully, making a list will encourage me to try a few more restaurants out there. Here's all of what I tried (minus the pizza places).	Desert weekend getaway (11) Arizona vacation- Quick relaxing getaway, I need to make this a regular vacation destination!
Party of one! Dining solo (19) Places in Atlanta where I've felt comfortable dining by myself. The only requirement is that there's a bar or small tables off to the side- nice bartenders, easy parking and good people watching areas also are a plus. For me personally, It's also nice to have no judgment or people staring if I want to order multiple dishes to try and bring leftovers home :)	Restaurants to bring out-of-towners (14) Here's where I've brought family & friends visiting from out of town, who want some type of Atlanta food experience
Being a tourist in Atlanta (13) I moved to Atlanta 2 years ago but I still enjoy exploring the city like a tourist.	Escaping my office for lunch (8) When I'm sick of my office cafeteria, cross-eyed from staring at a computer screen, or my butt is numb from sitting on my swivel chair, here's where I go for lunch.
