With a few days advanced notice they were able to reserve a table for our party of eight. I was looking for a delicious Chinese owned restaurant that we could order authentic dishes as we discussed our book Shanghai Sisters. The menu was robust, the service was incredible and all of my friends had rave reviews about what I found. Everyone loved the eggplant with basil. It was fresh and delicious and bright with the basil. The Shanghai street noodles with shrimp were light but filling. The Mongolian beef was full of flavor and paired great with the fried rice. The dumplings were delicious and were in the spicy side so out of my group there were a couple that preferred less spices. The string beans were a suggestion from the server and they didn’t disappoint. They were a great addition as we ordered family style and passed the plates around. This was plenty of food for our party of eight. If you have a chance make sure you get an order of the crab Rangoons, they come out nice and hot and have a creamy center.
Gu’s kitchen has a variety of Szechuan dishes and is very vegetarian friendly. I was not a fan of the dumplings at all, the wrapper was properly steamed but the inside was kinda like raw dough and didn’t taste good. The Szechuan mala hot pot tofu noodles were REALLY amazing though. The tofu was hella crispy and the noodles had an earthy, Szechuan flavor pop to them. I would highly recommend one of the noodles dishes.
Had a good first-time visit. The Pork Zhong Style Dumplings were well-made, a little sweet. The Handmade Sweet and Spicy Thick Noodles were interesting...thickest noodles I've ever seen. The Stir-Fried String Beans were excellent. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, with good portions. You order and pay up front and then they provide full service at your table after that.
We had a pleasant lunch at Gu’s. The staff truly cared about our dining experience and were willing to accommodate! Now to the food: order the dumplings, they’re sooo flavorful and tender! Also try the sweet and spicy noodles. They aren’t overly spicy, just the right amount of kick 🌶️
We ordered their dumplings, poboy chicken sandwich and the sichuan chicken curry. Food tasted good. I liked their po boy sandwich the most. Portions were reasonable. It's a simple no frill restaurant. Liked their cleanliness. Costed us $65 for dinner for 2.
One of my favorite places for Chinese food around Atlanta. The dishes may not be 100% traditional Chinese, but 100% delicious.
Had deep fried spicy eggplants and the pork dumplings. Good price. 10/10 for both - def recommended!
Parking is also very convenient!
Had delicious take out from here. Loved all the dishes. The pork dumplings were so tasty!! Also loved the eggplant and the spicy chicken. Everything was prepared well and came hot. Large portions.
The Food Network rated Gu's dumplings as the best dumplings in Atlanta and I can't agree more. They are full of flavor, and by far the best dumplings I've ever tried! They are sweet and savory, and very juicy. You can adjust the spicy levels which is always a plus. I've only been twice but my favorite dish from Gu's Kitchen is the chicken with broccoli & cilantro. Paired with their chili oil, and chef's kiss, it gives the food extra dimension! I had to get a whole bottle of it. I do recommend getting a side of white rice since the entrees don't come with some. FYI there's no dine in right now but definitely still worth the try!
Had lunch here with 3 others. We all loved everything about it. Super-friendly service, very clean, food served quickly and the flavors were amazing. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Is it a romantic date spot? No, but if you want a great meal at a reasonable price, here you go! It was a perfect environment for a lunch meeting.
Food was great!
They didn't have enough employees to seat, take orders, run the pickup area or take payments from customers. This poor lady did all of that. She was efficient but they needed more than just her.
There was a bad smell coming from the bathroom and/or kitchen. Not sure if it's one of the dishes they serve or ....
We had the pork dumplings, pork belly fried rice, and Szechuan thick noodles. The portion sizes were smaller than other Chinese restaurants, especially for what we paid, but the food was very tasty. I loved that the fried rice was simple, not drenched in soy sauce. The noodle texture was fantastic and you really got to enjoy the flavor of the sauce.
This was my first time ordering from the restaurant. I ordered the General Tso Chicken, along with the Dried Eggplant and the Bubble Tea. The chicken dish was absolutely delicious. It wasn't as spicy as I normally like, but can always cater it a bit hotter next time. The eggplant was phenomenal. Delicate and flavorful. I've never experienced those types of textures, and flavors combined in this eggplant dish. The only downside is you have to order your rice separately. It does NOT come with the meal. Excited to come back and try some of the other meals on the menu.
First time coming with the family The food here was great the noodles definitely satisfied my cravings .
I ordered spicy dried noodles ,spicy jalapeño noodles, popcorn chicken, chicken dumplings and the handmade noodles finally the bubble tea. The heat level for these dishes were actually pretty mild (in my opinion).
Kid friendly options you can actually ask them not to add spice on a certain dish.
The service here was above and beyond they were very attentive and kind.
The restaurant was very clean and organized.
Enjoyed my firsr experience here with the fam.
So good! We had a big group. They were very accommodating in seating us. Ordered both kinds of dumplings, thick noodl spicy chicken, spicy crispy beef, fried eggplant, and general Tso’s chicken. Everything came out fast, hot and yummy. Probably the best eggplant I’ve ever had in my life! Had 5 kids with us who also loved everything!
Friendly staff and service. A good place for spicy Schezuan eats. We tried several of the noodles from the menu. The food came out fast. We had the two different dumplings, pork belly fried rice; dan dan noodles; hot and sour soup; and beef noodle soup.
I love this place! The noodles are so fresh and chewy. I’m not sure how I can go back to eating anything else. I went on separate occasions and tried different dishes. Whatever you order you won’t be disappointed.
Incredible food. Noodles and dumplings are top notch. Amazing customer service: so polite and helpful but not in your face. I love this place.
This place is the best, they have so many clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options and the dumplings are delicious! Sierra is also a total sweetheart and takes the time to get to know her customers by name, I’ll definitely be back!
