    Inside the mall

    I wanted to experience a real Chinatown. So I decided to drive to Chamblee and am so happy that I did last weekend. I found an awesome bakery that you can see from one of my pictures. They had various Asian cuisine from various parts of China and Taiwan. I really enjoy ordering from two stands. I will be back for sure to try them all! I will write two other reviews to share with you within Chinatown. I definitely recimmend dining at the food court. The food is AMAZING. Make sure you bring cash as well. Some food stands inly took cash.

    Home of the Chinatown Food Court. Not to be confused with the Chinatown Feud Court, where gladiatoral battles are fought to the death before a baying crowd of foam-mouthed ruffians in the audience. I can't tell you where that is, otherwise I'd have to feed you. This is one of my favourite places in all of Atlanta if not my absolute favourite. English spellings ftw. There are several amazing food stands in here, and two of them in particular stand out. Which are Chongqing - where you can get amazing Lamb Cumin over handmade noodles. And Tsingtao with their amazing lamb cumin Kabob sticks among other deliciousness items. This was actually constructed before any businesses came here, intended specifically to be a Chinatown, and it works really well and adds so much to the Chamblee area and all of Hotlanta. This is a true destination and surprisingly one which a lot of people haven't even discovered yet since it's not right on Buford Highway and it's a little bit off the beaten path. Of course Lilly has been here and Richard has been here though, as have many other ATL Yelp legends! Anyway I have a court appearance to make, so I'm out. A Chinatown Food Court appearance!!!

    Buford Highway UYE.

    Atlanta Chinatown is not a Chinatown in the traditional sense. It's not a Chinese neighborhood or district located in downtown or urban Atlanta. Really, "Chinatown" is just the name of a Chinese shopping complex hidden in between Peachtree Industrial Blvd. and Buford Highway. It's close to the Chamblee MARTA station. Twenty of us Yelpers descended upon Chinatown's food court last night to partake in the latest Buford Highway UYE (http://www.yelp.com/events/atlanta-buford-highway-uye-chinatown-food-court). Along with the food court, Atlanta Chinatown also has two restaurants (Oriental Pearl, a dim sum and Cantonese restaurant, and I believe a hot pot place), a variety of offices (realty, insurance), retail shops (cosmetics, Chinese herbs, teas, a bookstore, video store, jewelry store,etc.), a hair salon, a supermarket, and a bakery. So there's quite a lot of stuff here. Oh yeah, and it's got the "Chinese Cultural Center," which is located separately behind the mall. This is where kids, and I guess adults too, can learn the Chinese language and other cultural aspects such as dance. One of my friends' moms has been a dance instructor here for years. I come here mainly for the food of course. Oriental Pearl is a good Cantonese restaurant and the dim sum on Saturdays and Sundays is solid. I also like the food court, where there are currently seven restaurants in operation. Going clockwise: Top One Gourmet Yanmi Yanmi Japanese Fast Food Ocean Garden China Kitchen Chong Qing Hot Pot Dinho Bakery & Cafe Hong Kong BBQ It's all Chinese food except for Yanmi Yanmi, but I'm pretty sure I saw some Chinese (and Korean) dishes on their menu too. Some of these places have menus in both Chinese and English. I think Ocean Garden is the only restaurant without an English menu (boo). The good thing about all of these places, though, is they have picture menus showing off each entree. I think it's great and makes the decision process a lot easier. Another great thing about the food court is most of the food is inexpensive, tastes good, and is served fast. When you come to the food court, chances are, one of the places will be closed. That's because each one is closed on a certain day of the week. I'm not sure of the exact schedule. China Kitchen was closed last night (Tuesday). Most, if not all, of these places are cash only. So don't forget to bring cash. The two popular restaurants at the food court are Hong Kong BBQ and Chong Qing Hot Pot and deservedly so. They serve good food. I decided to try something different last night and went with Top One Gourmet. I'll review them separately tomorrow, but James H. pointed out to us that they only have a one-star rating. Yikes. It wasn't that bad! I think most of the Yelpers last night ordered from Chong Qing Hot Pot because it looked like the happening spot to order from. Poor Ocean Garden. Other miscellaneous notes about Atlanta Chinatown: There's free Wi-Fi, they have a small Chinese "garden" outside, and there's plenty of parking, though some of the spaces are tight.

    The first thing that must be explained is THIS IS NOT A CHINA TOWN!!! "Atlanta Chinatown" is the name of the strip mall. Now with that out of the way I need to let you in on one of Atlanta's two secrets. The first one is all Atlanta Dim Sum sucks. Stop trying to find good dim sum! The 2nd secret is inside this mall there is a food court. Inside that food court at the very end there is a lady standing at a counter. She has been making food for over 40 years and her dishes reflect that commitment. Prices are good for an entree for one but almost all dishes are family size and come with free rice and soup that is self service. Come with as large a group of friends you can muster and order a little something from every stall. Some dishes will be sure to join your list of best ever. My best ever moment was MaPo tofu from the above mention 49 year veteran of this food game.

    Grew up in chamblee and never knew there was a food court! I came with a friend and we were starving! I was craving dumplings and were hoping to find shao long bao that are comparable to Chef Liu's. i can't remember what the name of the restaurant was but it was 2 stalls down from Chong Qing. The menus and descriptions of the entrees are to be in conjunction with the photo albums that each restaurant has. Most of the restaurant menus do not describe the entrees accurately. Ex. Shao long baos were called 'juicy pork buns' and braised pork belly and cabbage was called "steamed pork". The dumplings were tasty. Mild in flavor, but sadly they break open so you dont get the experience of a soup dumpling. An order is roughly $7 for 8 of them. I was very disappointed that every single one of them tore when trying to lift them out of the steamer baskets. So a 4 on flavor, but only a 1 on execution. The seafood hot pot was 9.50 amd can easily feed 2. It wasnt very descriptive so I had no idea what to expect. It was full of white fish, cuttlefish, and shrimp. There was also a lot of napa cabbage and buckwheat noodles. The broth is very mild, almost bland. 3 on flavor and a 5 for value. My favorite dish was the "steamed pork". It was braised slices of pork belly atop a bed of steamed cabbage. It was so tender and the fatty parts melts in your mouth. Reminds me of a viet dish called "thit kho". It's less sweet and a bit saltier but balanced well with the cabbage. 5 overall. Overall we were satisfied with the meal. All three dish came to about $25. We had more than half the food left and took it togo. Byob so you save on that. And every station has steamed rice, egg drop soup, and water and tea.

    Oh joy, this place reminds me of San Francisco Chinatown where restaurant hygiene is optional and English will not be your primary language. This plaza serves as a food court that is on the verge of crumbling either from the age of the building or dirt. As I'm here with all sorts of nostalgia, none of what I saw before me bothered me the slightest bit. There is a wide selection of Japanese and Chinese food and pastries. The amount of complimentary tea, water, and utensils is admirable. The cups are teeny tiny. The environment and the view inside the food court towards the windows is surprisingly pleasant. The employees are friendly. However, you have to go get the food yourself. They won't come find you when it's ready Despite the nostalgia associated with this court, I would come back only with friends. Most of the customers eat by themselves, which was slightly depressing to observe. We were probably the only table that had more than one person.

Located alongside the interchange of Interstate 285 and Georgia 400, Perimeter Mall is one of Atlanta's most accessible luxury shopping malls. Perimeter Mall in Atlanta offers a really enjoyable shopping experience. It's clean, well laid out, and has a good balance of popular stores, upscale brands, and great dining options. The mall has a modern feel with plenty of natural light, comfortable seating areas, and a calm, easy-to-navigate layout. We found everything we needed from clothing and shoes to unique gifts and appreciated the variety of stores, from big names to smaller boutiques. Dining options were also a highlight. Whether you want a quick bite or a sit-down meal, there's something for every taste. The mall felt safe, well-staffed, and maintained, with friendly employees and clear signage throughout. Parking was easy, and the surrounding area has even more to explore if you want to make a full day out of it. Whether you're shopping for something specific or just browsing, Perimeter Mall is a solid choice in Atlanta, GA.

You can think of it as Brookhaven's version of Atlantic Station or Avalon. It's got shops, restaurants, bars, a grocery store (Publix), department store (Marshalls), movie theater (CineBistro), and homes. It's a self-contained community inside the perimeter (ITP). I've been to Town Brookhaven several times over the years to visit businesses like Bua (Thai and sushi), Newk's Eatery, Noche (tapas, now closed), the Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub, and Yogurtland. I've had a friend who lived at the Windsor at Brookhaven (apartments). These days, I mainly visit Town Brookhaven to go to Costco (opened October 28, 2010). At the time of writing this review, Town Brookhaven's Costco is one of only two Costco warehouses located in Atlanta ITP. The Costco at Cumberland Mall is practically located on the perimeter. Both have gas stations and are good places to fill up due to relatively cheap prices for Top Tier fuel. In general, I think this development is fine. The property is clean. It's huge at 600,000 square feet. The design is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The buildings look modern. There are wide sidewalks, airy patios, nice landscaping, stately brick roads, and traffic circles. There's deck parking and surface level parking. This is a popular place with lots of tenants so parking may be hard to come by during peak periods. Ultimately, I've never had an issue finding parking here. Outside of perhaps Costco, I'm not sure Town Brookhaven has any shops, restaurants, or other businesses that really set it apart from other shopping centers, malls, or mixed-use developments or make it a real destination in metro Atlanta. However, if you live or work in the neighborhood or surrounding area, it's certainly nice to have all these amenities close by.

    Asian Square is an old Asian shopping center located on Buford Highway between Chamblee Tucker Rd…read more and I-285 in Doraville. My earliest memories of Asian Square are from Fall 2000, when I first moved to Atlanta. Back then (actually, since 1993), and up until circa 2010, Asian Square was home to a 99 Ranch Market, a popular Chinese supermarket chain from California. Times changed and bigger, newer Asian grocery stores opened in nicer, cleaner shopping complexes up north (e.g. Super H Mart, GreatWall, Assi), forcing 99 Ranch to close its only Georgia location. Asian Square was also home to restaurants such as Pho Hoa (Vietnamese noodle soup), Asiana Garden (Korean BBQ), a Thai restaurant, Fil-Am Star (one of metro Atlanta's only Filipino restaurants), and Hello Dau Hu (a Vietnamese snack shop which has since been absorbed into fellow Buford Highway competitor Viet Tofu ~Spring 2014). Those were just a handful of businesses that closed at Asian Square over approximately the past 15 years. These days, the main draws at Asian Square are undoubtedly Sweet Hut Bakery & Cafe (Asian pastries and bubble tea), Quoc Huong (Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches and pho), and, to a lesser extent, Ming's BBQ and BBQ Corner (Chinese, Cantonese food). Sweet Hut opened in April 2012 and became wildly successful. It brought people flocking back to Asian Square... Well, one tiny corner of it. Mamak, a Malaysian restaurant, opened September 2014 in the former Fil-Am space. Quoc Huong is considered by many to have the best banh mi sandwiches in Atlanta. I can't say I disagree. They are pretty darn good. Ming's BBQ has been around forever. Honestly, I'm surprised it's still around. Ming's is hidden towards the back of the shopping center, near the Shallowford Rd. entrance/exit. Ming's boasts quick and authentic plates of Cantonese-style street food, complete with fresh roasted pork on display and roasted duck hanging behind the storefront window. Ming's has a second, bigger, much newer location off of Pleasant Hill Rd. in Duluth (Gwinnett County). I ate at BBQ Corner several times in the early-to-mid 2000s. They served satisfying Chinese food and had dim sum service at one point too. In late 2013/early 2014, the restaurant temporarily closed and underwent a major renovation. As of 2014, BBQ Corner is back with a new storefront, a new dining room, and a new attitude. The four aforementioned restaurants presumably make up the bulk of Asian Square customer traffic today. Currently, I believe there are no more Korean-owned businesses at Asian Square. I think all of the businesses are owned or operated by either Chinese or Vietnamese people. King Maxim Nail Supply opened in a substantial space (I think part of the old 99 Ranch Market) in 2014. There are a lot of nail salon supply stores along Buford Highway and King Maxim adds another to the mix. Victoria Nail Supply is a smaller shop, also located at Asian Square. Other businesses include Bride & Fashion II (dresses), Kim Ngoc Jewelry, Eye Best / La Mejor Vision (optometrist's office and eyeglass frames store), Jimmy's Fine Jewelry, Vietnamese coffee shop Duy Long, Hair Capital (hair salon), The Gioi Am Nhac (Vietnamese video/music store I believe), Le Salon (another salon), ABF Travel (Chinese travel agency), Victoria Cosmetics, a dentist's office, a pediatric clinic, Asian herbal medicine shops, and more. Asian Square, as a functional shopping center, is simply outdated. It's not the cleanest shopping center nor is it modern or aesthetically pleasing. The storefronts and store spaces are worn and parking is a real issue here. The driveways are tight and the speed bumps are annoying, but necessary. It's been years and the void left by 99 Ranch's closure has yet to be filled. I heard from an Asian Square business owner that parking was one of the biggest challenges in trying to secure a tenant for that space. It makes sense when you look at other Asian shopping centers around town (and you don't have to look far). In the end, I am a fan of Asian Square. I've got several memories here. The place has character and it's a recognized "landmark" of sorts for the Asian community in Atlanta, especially those who have lived here a long time. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for this place. (Sweet Hut definitely helped!)
