Jia Szechuan Food and Bar

I visit Atlanta often. I’ve only eaten here twice and had incredible Szechuan dishes both times…especially the crispy Szechuan wings this weekend. I’m mystified by some of the other reviews but it could be that food is uneven. But speaking from personal experience I’m a fan.

Horrible horrible service server did not check up on us and would have to call someone over and at one point my friend had to get up to grab more utensils. We were discussing that the food overall was great and recognize that this place has a low score because of probably their customer service

We came for Chinese food and the food came in too hot and was not enjoyable. Did not hit the spot at all.
The staff was nice and friendly
The outside needs some ventilation or some air moving.
Also a omeone next to us also claimed they saw a mouse walk into the kitchen was was weird

The service was not too friendly.. we had to order from the bar since no one came to sit us at a table. When asked to seat at the table we got told the order would be cancelled and the waiter would have to take it again. When the food was brought out it was cold because no one told us the food was ready.. took a bite and all I tasted was salt.. every dish we had ordered was cooked and Seasoned with salt to the max.. the place makes heads turn because of the decor and how fancy it looks but me and my kids won’t be eating here again. Don’t let my experience stop you from at least trying it once.

Mid hot fried rice. No vegetables to be seen. 12% MANDATORY TIP FOR TAKEOUT!!! and they won’t tell you about it. Don’t tip and would recommend for a cheap sit down but not take out.

Drinks ? are out of this world. The crispy Szechuan chicken wings were good and came with a bowl of fried rice. Could not beat it for the price.

Absolutely disgusting

Got the shan city beef. Rotten beef coated in corn starch and fried with a ton of salt and dried chili flakes with zero effort put into the dish.

Used to be decent and now it’s just gross on all levels

Honestly shocked about the rating of this place. I usually look up the rating of places I eat at and won’t generally go if it’s lower than a 4, so when I looked it up after, my entire world view was shifted. This is some of the best Chinese food I’ve had. Portions were generous, meat was cooked great, everything was super flavorful.

I’ll say the soup dumplings were not super great, and the steamed rice with the meal was slightly stale, but we got the cumin chicken, bok choy in garlic, Szechuan noodles, and wood ear mushrooms which were all top tier.

Highly recommend, maybe we just got lucky, but I’ll definitely come again.

Enjoyable meal in an interesting environment.

Vegetarian options: Vegetables w/tofu was quiet good.

Kid-friendliness: Service was neutral...food was prepared very quickly.

I am a regular Jia szechuan and absolutely love the taste here. However, my today’s experience has left me feeling very frustrated. I ordered 2 appetizers around 2:00 pm, one was served around 2:30 and the other one wasn’t even served until I paid the bill and left at 3:00pm.

I understand that issues happen sometimes which can cause delay but the handling of the issue by the server, whose name I forgot, was standing at the bar when he took the order.

Around 2:30 I asked him when will he serve my 2nd appetizer, he said in a few minutes. At 2:50 he said the same thing, that it will take a few minutes.

First he blamed the delay on the kitchen staff saying “they’re messing up the orders in the kitchen”. Later he changed the statement and said that he put in something else accidentally instead of what I ordered, hence the delay.

I definitely won’t be coming here again. Very poor handling of customers.
