Choose a district. Then choose a table.

Buford Highway (Chamblee and Doraville)

The Buford Highway corridor northeast of Midtown is where most of this list sits. Four restaurants here cover four different meals: Shanghai and northern dumplings, Sichuan dry pot, and Korean-Chinese noodles. Everything is strip-mall parking, so plan to drive.

Show these restaurants

Duluth and Johns Creek

The northeast suburbs along Pleasant Hill Road and State Bridge Road. This list has a dim sum counter on Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth and a Sichuan kitchen on State Bridge Road. Suwanee has no verified pick here; see the research notes for what was dropped.

Show these restaurants

Midtown and Downtown Atlanta

Inside the Perimeter the list has one pick: a counter-service Xi'an noodle shop on Spring Street NW in Midtown. It is the closest option to the city core and the only Shaanxi cooking on this page.

Show these restaurants

Decatur

Suburban Plaza on North Decatur Road holds a Sichuan and Hunan restaurant with a dim sum and small-plate section. It is the pick for the east side, closer to Emory than to Buford Highway.
