“Great place, came through as part of the carnival and craved Chinese food. Place was practically across the street, it looks like most other Chinese food restaurants and the food was ready in 15 minutes. Honey chicken was perfect, fried rice was better than any other place I've been, and the wonton soup was more al dente than anywhere I've been but I think I prefer a wonton dumpling that stays on the fork rather than a soft one that won't stay on the fork or chopsticks. I'll be back regularly while we are here and probably next year as well.“

“But I went there for some food Fried Rice King I love the Chinese food. The food was amazing.. I noticed they were all women in the kitchen which was great cuz this what's a maze in the food was good the vegetable lo mein was just perfect all that vegetable was just perfect I will be back I've been back there for years. Latest thank you I would recommend it to anyone those wings what great“

“I’m visiting from nyc been here 3 weeks , and I must say this is the best food I ate out here so far. If you been in nyc and ate in the Chinese restaurant you will know this is just like being home! Hands down the best Chinese food in this section of Georgia !“

“I really like Panda Express. Late hours and drive through option. @supremekingpoet for more entertainment and music while you eat. The prices are not bad if you have the right sever fill the family meal containers. 😋 I usually come on a couple hours before close or during lunch so you can catch the fresh drops. Theres lots of seating and great lighting nice for a first date meet up or a quick rendezvous. Veggies were fresh rice was sift noodles were well cooked. The only to really watch is the calories and the sugars added. Very filling but if your on keto don't even pretend.“

“Delicious as usual. I got the curry chicken, white rice and beef lo mein. You know if the inside of the building look like you should only be sitting to wait on your food and not dining in, the food is gonna hit. P.S.. Fried chicken wings are good too“

“Came in for something to eat during a layover.
Aleisha was my server. Absolutely phenomenal. I am also a server part time so it’s tough to “wow” me but she absolutely did. She recommended the margarita- it was a 10/10. Then I ordered the Mongolian beef which I always get but she told me I absolutely needed to try the Mongolian chicken. So…. I ordered both! Good came out hot and very fast as I requested due to my next flight being fast. She had everything done in 25 minutes to a half hour and that was with an app! (Crab Rangoon).
She is just so friendly! If you go in- definitely sit with her. She will brighten your day 100%“

“Rice bowl with stir fried veggies was absolutely amzing, everything fresh and the sauces (spicy korean and Sriracha perfect. Staff friendlly and helpful We will definitely be back!!“

“Don’t let the modest exterior fool you—this place serves some of the best Thai food in Georgia!

My brother and I both ordered the Massaman curry, one with chicken and the other with beef, and both were outstanding. The curry was packed with flavor without being overly sweet, with a wonderfully balanced blend of spices and perfectly cooked carrots, onions, and potatoes. The beef and chicken were both tender and generous.

And an extra point for the cashews sprinkled on top. Many Thai restaurants use peanuts, but the cashews add a delicious richness and crunch.

This place is the real deal—authentic, flavorful, generous portions, and clearly a kitchen that knows what it’s doing. Come hungry… and wear your stretchy pants!“

“I dined solo tonight and had the best time ever! From the time I walked in I was seated promptly! My server took the time to explain certain food combinations and he placed my order quickly. He was Sharon’s brother, I can’t remember his name. Sharon checked on me frequently to make sure I was ok! And best of all…the food was simply delicious!!! Together… They were a great team!!! I’ll definitely be back!!!“

“Excellent choice Roast duck soup is the best I've ever had. Very polite and nice lady at the register which is very unusual for most Asian establishments when it comes to black people in particular and I truly appreciate that. Because of the service I will be a permanent customer as long as they are in my neighborhood. Great establishment indeed.“

“Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Morrow, GA, did not disappoint! I got the General Tso’s chicken as takeout, and it was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The chicken was cooked just right, and there was plenty of that delicious orange flavor without being overwhelming.

Great takeout option when you’re looking for something quick, fresh, and tasty. Definitely worth trying! 👍🥡“

“This place was amazing me and my wife sat down to eat and the hospitality from when we entered was amazing we visited thinking that it was just another Chinese restaurant and it blew expectations out of the water 5 stars aren’t enough 10/10 would recommend“

“Yall, this is some of the best chinese food stopping these parks, the food is FRESH, Hot, well cooked even street driving 15 mins going home. They never disappoint! The noodles aren’t dried out or soggy and the wings are the best! No feathers and don’t forget about the service! Always top tier“

“This is my first time ever leaving a restaurant review, and I really wanted to share my experience.

The staff was incredibly patient, friendly, and welcoming. I ordered the beef chow fun, and it was absolutely delicious! During my meal, the owner even gave me a complimentary serving of their homemade roasted pork. That was such a thoughtful and wonderful surprise.

Everything about the experience was great—the food, the service, and the hospitality. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back!“

“I've been here, a few times and the food is always good!! This afternoon, came here after church and tried their sesame chicken..which I heard is good..but never tried it before. I'm glad I did!! It was so good, it comes with fried rice and an eggroll for $11... that's a very good deal and nice size portions. If you are ever in the Riverdale area, definitely stop by and try them out!! 💯😊“

“Just got out of school and was looking for something to eat, saw this place online and took a gamble and I’m glad I did. Everything was cooked well and seasoned well. I ordered sweet & sour chicken with rice and broccoli on the side. The chicken had a good taste and a nice crunch and the sweet & sour sauce that came with it was very good and tangy. My broccoli had other veggies and some soy sauce poured on top which wasn’t too salty but wasn’t bland either, I enjoyed every veggie. I would’ve given 5 stars if my rice was seasoned a little more but overall I had a good experience and there portions sizes are very nice!“

“If you call early, your order is usually ready. The food is great 👍. The service would be Better, if 2 people were up front . 1 for Call In orders. 1 for in store orders. Make sure you check your orders. Hope that they get the front dining back up. 😋😋“

“Let me let y’all know about this Chinese spot!!! I originally moved here being a native New Yorker and had a taste for some chicken and broccoli. Seemed like the other restaurants wasn’t hitting. I decided to give them a try after being in GA for about 2 months. Everything about them is customer service. Friendly welcomes, patience and most importantly FRESH and HOT food. They honestly are the only ones I go to and been loyal to from the time I moved here back in 2017. Not a buffet not another Chinese restaurant just China One. I have now relocated to another part of GA after living in Clayton county for about two years and I drive to them and spend my money with them faithfully for that taste that I want. If y’all don’t know now y’all know (in the words of Biggie Small) I totally approve and stand behind this restaurant especially if I’m driving 45 to an hour out just to get me my lunch special which if y’all go between the hours of 10-3:30 only available Tuesday thru Friday they offer that same quality food they make on a regular for a very affordable price and they hook the plates up. They know me on a family level! 🤣 When I walk in they know me for the no bamboo shoot and extra sauce on the side. Making me feel good because I am a committed woman. If ya’ll hit that spot up let them know y’all heard about them from me. Be blessed!! ❤️ Bxmami4eva“

“The food was very good, and service was fast, and very fresh. My only problem, was the sesame chicken was a little spicy, as someone who doesn't really like spice, sesame chicken is usually safe, and I was a little disappointed to find out this one wasn't because the food was YUMMY.“

“Food is really tasty. It was my first visit.“

“The staff is always friendly. I appreciate that they are always very accommodating. I always come up here and sit while they prepare my food and its good. Sometimes, you cant just be a voice on the phone or an order that comes across a screen. Ive come to find that if you go and actually talk to the staff, be nice, and leave an appropriate tip, people go out of their way to do a good job. I greatly appreciate the service provided here.“

“Purchased the beef and broccoli with steamed rice, crab rangoon, and egg rolls. Everything was hot and seemed fresh. I reduced a star because the crab rangoon didn't taste anything different from mall or frozen all ready made rangoon from a grocery store. Didn't even get a hint of crab (I know it's probably imitation) but was expecting something more tasty. Also the sweet & sour sauce that comes with the egg rolls tasted sour/spoiled.“

“Fan freak'n tastic! Beef N Broccoli was delicious, steamed dumplings with that soy dippin sauce was hitt'n, and those Chinese dougnuts put my behind in a food coma. Everything was reasonablely priced and the food was ready LITTERALLY in 15min! It's nappy time now, it gets two finger licking thumbs up.“

“I had a great experience at China Cafe Waikiki. The lo mein was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The noodles had a great texture, and the portion size was generous.

I also want to recognize Jessica at the front desk. She was extremely friendly, welcoming, and professional. She greeted customers with a smile and made sure everyone felt appreciated. Her excellent customer service made the visit even better. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service.“

“GOOD WINGS! good service always enjoy eating there.“

“Primarily a carry out place with a few tables for dine in.

The food was freshly prepared and of excellent quality.

Our order consisted of Mongolian Beef, Mu Shu Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Crab Ragoons.

I would definitely repeat this order without hesitation, but I am curious to try something else from the menu.“

“Hey, I've been ordering for a min now and appreciate the love yall show especially the guy at the register mann. I'mma vegan and the fact that you guys offer general tso's tofu means yall are considerate and thoughtful and I appreciate that. Not too many companies offer those type of items. I will continue to support you all and im sure the city appreciate your business also“

“New Peking Chinese Restaurant was a great find! The food was delicious, had a really authentic Chinese flavor, and was offered at a great value. Everything we tried was flavorful and had that traditional Chinese taste that you don’t always find at takeout restaurants.

The combo and lunch meals were especially impressive. The prices were very affordable, the portions were generous, and the food was really satisfying. The staff were also friendly and nice, which made ordering easy and pleasant.

One important thing to know before visiting is that this is a takeout-only restaurant and there is currently no dine-in seating. We originally thought there was a dining area, so we ended up eating our food inside our car. From what we understood, they stopped offering dine-in service around the COVID period and have continued as takeout only.

Overall, I would definitely recommend New Peking if you’re looking for affordable, flavorful, and authentic-tasting Chinese food with generous portions. Just plan to take your food somewhere else to eat!“

“Good and cheap Chinese food spot. It reminds me a bit of China Express AKA “dollar scoop”. They advertise their food as 1 scoop for either $1.50 or $1.75 (I can’t quite remember). I was able to get a plate with lo mein, black pepper chicken, bourbon chicken, butter shrimp and a spring roll for under $10! All the food was delicious except for the spring roll. It was hard and had too much ginger or something inside it. I’ve visited twice recently and had good experiences. But I will say it pays to order in person, because the first time I used doordash to order online and go pick it up myself and it was almost $6 more for the same amount of food!“

“China Wok Chinese Restaurant in Union City.

Since moving from New York, where we had a favorite Chinese restaurant with an incredible tasting menu, we have tried several different restaurants in Georgia. I honestly figured I would not find a similar restaurant here in the Atlanta area, but we were absolutely delighted with the results at China Wok.

The food tastes just like the restaurants I regularly visited back home. My family loves the fried chicken, General Tso's chicken, boneless spare ribs, and Lo Mein. China Wok is officially our new favorite Chinese restaurant.

Thank you for the wonderful food and service.“

“I really love how you guys have the best staff and cashier. The way the young lady treats everyone is amazing and she always make it the best experience. I always order the General tso's tofu with white rice when I arrive and I am never dissatisfied. Thank you for the services you all provide. No 1 china stand up!! We love it“

“I wanted to share my experience because I didn't experience what some of these reviews are saying. I use to come here all the time back on the day I decided to try them out yesterday but I noticed the reviews were all over the place. The food was hot and fresh no one gave me an attitude but the outside does need improvement. Someone followed me to my car. But all in all I do recommend.“

“Stopped here while me & co-driver wait for our trailer . Ordered orange chicken & lo mein & orange , Mongolian chicken & fried rice . Portions are great for price. Hot. Taste is bomb. Customer service was friendly . Clean inside. Idk what the previous reviews are talking about. Would come again. Thanks“

“You can eat inside but this place is for more like taking out. You can choose with buffet style (one scoop $2.5) or from meal menus ($12~). I choose buffet style and took 2 kinds of cuisine, the amount as enough for one person for one meal and it was good. The price was super cheap. Probably I will come back again.“

“Good lunch! Will go again.“

“I often order takeout from this town.
After trying many different restaurants, this one is definitely the best.
I really love their fried wontons and hot and sour soup.
I hope the restaurant can continue to keep up its great quality˞͛😏˞͛“

“We have eaten there several times food and service were good. Today the carpet in dining area was filthy. Needs to be replaced.“

“When you go to the mall the last thing that you think is that you're going to find any decent food. And unfortunately at South DeKalb Mall your food choices are extremely limited. However I'm happy to say that in the food court there is one restaurant that is holding on to its little spot in the corner and that is Mandarin Express.Freshly prepared Asian favorites such as Orange Chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and Black pepper chicken are available for your dining experience.Also available for a slightly higher price are items like Chinese green beans, Beef and broccoli, and Thai coconut curry chicken.And don't forget appetizers like vegetable spring rolls, chicken egg rolls or cream cheese rangoons.Of course it isn't five star dining however the food is fresh and hot and served with a pleasant attitude.“

“I don't like paying before I get my food ? I'm not trying to steal your food.. I work too hard for my money . Nice customer service.

Parking: I accidentally parked in front of a daycare center ! Immediately this Fat lady came outside very rudely yelling ( YOU CAN'T PARK THERE ) I guess she told took 2 mins away from her plate of Pork chops & Rice & Gravy ?“

“I visited around 11:09 AM, right at opening time. From the outside, the place looked closed, and when I went in, the staff didn’t seem very cheerful or energetic. As someone who’s soft-spoken and has social anxiety, it was a little hard to get their attention at first, but thankfully I didn’t have to repeat myself too much, and ordering was quick and easy.

I was torn between getting General Tso’s chicken and beef with broccoli. I prefer my General Tso’s on the spicier side, but when I asked if it was spicy, I didn’t get a clear answer. So I went with my safe choice—beef and broccoli—and I’m glad I did! The vegetables were fresh and still had a nice bite to them, not soggy, but full of flavor. The steak was decent, kind of gamey, so I’d give it a 6.8/10.

I ordered the lunch special but substituted the rice for lo mein (not sure what kind they gave me), and it ended up being the highlight of my meal! The noodles were flavorful and had a great consistency. Even with the substitution and a drink, my total came to under $15, which felt like a great deal.

Overall, the food was tasty and fresh, and I’d definitely come back again!! Next time I’ll try something new, maybe even the General Tso’s if I can get more info on the spice level!“

“I stopped by Panda Express on Tara Boulevard last night and got a small portion of their famous Orange Chicken with Super Greens and OMG, it was SO good!

I especially love that they offer smaller portions. For someone who simply doesn’t have a huge appetite or, like me, can’t eat large portions after sleeve surgery, it’s absolutely perfect. I can actually enjoy my food without having to order way too much.

And a HUGE shoutout to Solomon! Seriously one of the sweetest, friendliest and most genuinely kind people I’ve ever had serve me. He made the whole experience even better.

Delicious food, perfect portion, amazing service. Top, top, top! ❤“

“Do they serve their foods on Styrofoam plates? Yes, Is it some of the best Chinese food in Atlanta? Absolutely. I’ve ordered from this restaurant directly, on Uber eats, and on DoorDash. They have never disappointed. Fresh. Hot. Large portions. DELICIOUS and Inexpensive. Great restaurant. Definitely try it, you won’t be disappointed!“

“The food was super great and the service was the best and the people who were there were nice and there juice containers were $8 and if you mix both of the juices that they have, it makes a really good combo. That's why you guys should also try this spot.“

“Finally, I found the best chinese takeout restaurant.
If you are looking for New York style chinese food, you should try this place.
Best chinese takeout restaurant in ATL.
Chicken w/ brocoli, sesame chicken, general tso chicken, and wonton soup... two thumbs 👍 up.“

“Looks like theyre working in the store little by little getting new tables and chairs and the lovely lady does her best to keep the place clean. OH! BUT THEIR FOOD!! IS AMAZING! And they actually make your plate with care and fresh!Shrimp and beef, seafood delight, fried calamari, their sauces... i literally have nothing to complain about. Good luck with your business, i think you beling in a mpre populated area away from this hood.
P.s. i had already pinched yhe lobster tail before i decided to take a pic and review.“

“Delicious food and excellent customer service. Also, they have a speedy delivery service.............“

“Great flavor, super fast drive-thru, and friendly customer service from the cashier! That honey walnut shrimp is honestly too freaking good, though I do prefer a sweet crab rangoon. Knocked off a star because spending $18 and not even getting a full meal is crazy work with these smaller portions, but overall still a tasty spot.“

“This was My First time here the Food was Fresh and Tasted Good as well“

“The food HITS every time. Best Chinese food I’ve found in the area. I’m obsessed with their Mongolian beef and fried rice. Never had issues. Eggrolls are crispy and delicious. Coming back today for lunch..been thinking about them all weekend lol.

Friendly staff. They’re always busy so I like to call my order in.
Definitely worth it.“
