Fire Stone Chinese Cuisine

Very disappointing after change in management. The server assured that chefs are the same, however the presentation of the dishes and flavors told a different story. Portions have been cut too, flavors are missing. Basil chicken was served wrapped up in foil & oil was all leaking through the torn foil in the plate, fear there might be torn peices of foil too in the dish.
Firestone was our to go place for Chinese cuisine, but unfortunately not any more. We dined last night for the last time. SKIP IT

This place has changed beyond recognition . The food after the new owners is awful. The used to be our favorite Chinese place in town and after eating today it’s probably the worst we have had in Atlanta area . Never coming back again

We had the most incredible dining experience at Axia Chinese Bistro! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of modern elegance and traditional charm.

The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the bamboo fish—delicately prepared, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural freshness of the fish without overpowering it. It was unlike anything I’ve tasted before, truly a dish that sets Axia apart.

We also tried the dumplings, and they were absolutely outstanding. Perfectly steamed with soft, pillowy wrappers, the filling was juicy, rich, and bursting with flavor. You can tell they put real care into making them fresh, and it made all the difference.

The service was just as impressive as the food—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Every recommendation from the staff was spot on, and it made the entire experience feel special.

If you’re looking for authentic Chinese cuisine with a touch of artistry, Axia Chinese Bistro is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu!

Food was mediocre at best. Service was the same. Gave a 19% tip out of habit. They had the audacity to increase it to 25% after we left. Never going back.

Food was delish. The staff was so nice. We had the bone fish and mangolian beef excellent. The dumplings were homemade fresh so yummy. The teas our kids loved as well. We will be back

5 stars!! It was by far the best Asian cuisine I've had in a long time. The bamboo fish is addictive, the flavor combination is out of this world. We also ordered the steamed dumplings (amazing), beef and chicken fried rice ( yummy), kung pao chicken (perfect heat and flavor). Service was excellent. Try the bamboo fish, you'll thank me.

What happened to the food? I ordered the beef noodle soup and it is completely different than before. It used to be decent although not as good as the Kennesaw location. The broth was sweet, no fragrance, beef was also different just all solid rock hard dry meat, and noodle is thinner. I just know it’s not the same cook. You got hire new cooks ASAP or you won’t make it.

Absolutely no atmosphere and it was hard to get a waiter to check on us so we could order and refill our drinks. They were pleasant enough, but were invisible! The food was just OK, but they really need to do something about their service and their atmosphere!

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this review. Firestone was one of my all-time favorite restaurants — a place I dined at dozens of times over the years and often recommended to others. It was consistent, flavorful, and uniquely excellent.

Now, Firestone is gone. In its place stands Axxis Chinese Bistro. The menu remains about 90% the same, with the addition of boba drinks, which initially gave me hope that this would be a smooth transition — just a new name on the door. Unfortunately, that hope was short-lived.

The beloved red chili oil wontons — once a Firestone staple — have been completely butchered. They used to be drenched in a bold, spicy red oil that not only coated the wontons beautifully but doubled as a bonus sauce for the rest of your meal. Now? They arrive dry, with barely a trace of oil. I found myself scraping the corners of the container just to get a hint of what used to be the star of the dish.

The basil chicken, once a standout 11/10 dish, has fallen to a disappointing 5/10. The flavors are muted, the chicken is drier, and the fried rice — once my favorite anywhere — was hard and noticeably lacking in flavor.

As for the new boba tea, it tasted like something you’d get from a generic mall kiosk — sugary, unremarkable, and forgettable.

I say all this as someone who would easily rank among the top 5 biggest fans and advocates of Firestone. But after tonight, I won’t be back. Despite the similar menu, the food quality has taken such a dramatic step down, it genuinely feels like a completely different restaurant — because, sadly, it is.
