Yes, it's a food court... this isn't date night ambience. Yes, it's Chinese food, *not* American Chinese. Go elsewhere for orange chicken or beef with broccoli (you might be disappointed). Would highly recommend dry hot pot with fish (dried cuts of fish, cumin seasoning, lots of vegetables), spicy chicken (I don't know how they get it so crispy), red chili oil wontons or the master dumplings, salt and pepper fish/squid (not spicy at all but perfectly crunchy), and twice cooked pork. All but the pork pictured here.

My husband and I would always choose China Kitchen when eating out at the ATL China Town. The food is tasty and authentic. It is placed inside the China Town food court, which reminds me of a hawker style eatery. I love this place. A few of my posted photos show the food being placed in takeout containers, as I did not order for dine-in in those instances, but if you ask to dine in, the food will be served in proper plates and bowls, or even hot pots, depending on what you order. Please be aware that there is a small add-on fee if you use a credit card. I personally would try to bring cash whenever I come here, but there is an ATM inside the food court as well if you need it.

The Chinatown Food Court was there when I moved to Atlanta almost 20 years ago. Back then, when I looked up Chinatown in Atlanta, I came to this little micro-mall before later discovering Buford Highway and that Chinese food was not concentrated into one neighborhood like it is in some cities. This little food court predates all the popular ones in Atlanta such as the Krog Market and Ponce Market. But it's not the sort where you can't find pricey ice cream. I believe it's all Chinese. Today, I wandered in, while waiting for my car to be serviced, and noticed Cold Noodles on China Kitchen's menu. This dish, which I adore at the various Gu's locations, is simple, but requires a fantastic bowl of noodles and chili sauce that hits the spot. China Kitchen's rendition was a good as Gu's, superb!

General Taos chicken was so good and filling. One entree enough for two people. And the tea, soup and rice they give you to fill up in charge is so kind. Recommend ...

I never heard of this place before and when I saw it on GrubHub, I thought it was worth a try. I ordered the “Seasoning Beef Dry Hot Pot” (spicy), and a side of spring rolls. The order arrived quickly, correct and complete, and packaged well for delivery. The beef was cooked and spiced really well and was tasty. The spicy part was accurate...it wasn’t overwhelmingly spicy, but most definitely let you know it was there!! Interesting mix of veggies that worked very well together. Surprised by how well the potatoes fit in the mix. Never had lotus root before and my personal jury’s still out on those. The rice was cooked perfectly and the side of spring rolls (comes with four) were excellent. Overall, the food was delicious and came with generous portions. I always try to form my own opinion so I’m not biased by other people’s comments (I don’t read reviews until after I try food). I was surprised by some of the reviews, as I really enjoyed the food. I would certainly order from here again.

I loved the Shredded Pork with Plum Sauce! My husband tried it and loved it too, and he doesn't normally like pork. Besides steamed rice, the dish also came with four small steamed buns which was a nice accompaniment. I've had both the strawberry and taro milk teas. While tasty and not too sweet, I wish they had a stronger flavor. The strawberry and taro flavors were both very mild. The owner is very kind and accommodating, and you can tell he cares about the quality of his food and keeping his customers satisfied. This is a well-run business!

Order off the overhead menu. The paper menus near the register are outdated so my dumplings were twice as expensive as I thought they’d be. They were good though.

Ordered dry pot, mapo tofu, and spicy master dumplings from China Kitchen. Ordered the chongqing chicken and szechuan fish from Chongqing Hotpot - the vendor directly to the right of China Kitchen. The gentleman managing China Kitchen was extremely courteous and friendly as he brought out our dishes to us at our table. He even mentioned that he used to cook authentic Chinese food at a really nice hotel in China before. Absolutely loved the Spicy Master Dumplings from China Kitchen as well as the Szechuan Fish from Chongqing Hotpot - highly recommend these two dishes.
