Update: Returned to Best BBQ on Buford Highway inside/next to City Farmers Market. This place still has some of the best dim sum in metro Atlanta, but the dine-in experience continues to seriously lack. You come here purely for the food, not the service or atmosphere. If you want traditional pushcart service, go to a place like Canton House or Royal China. Best BBQ is more ideal for takeout. When it comes to Atlanta, arguably five stars for the dim sum and other Chinese food alone. Here's what four of us got this time: D3. Chicken Feets [sic] ($7) D5. Beef Tripe ($7) D10. Chicken Sticky Rice ($9) D12. Roast Pork Bun ($7) D13. Egg Custard Bun ($6) D16. SiuLong Bun ($7) - xiaolongbao - soup dumplings D18. Radish Cake ($7) D24. Beef Rice Noodle Wrap ($8), add Chinese Parsley ($0.50) D25. Roast Pork Rice Noodle Wrap ($8) D29. Sesame Balls (3 for $6) D32. Chives Dumpling (P.F.) ($9) - pan-fried K47. Fish Cake with Chives Flowers ($24) - includes soup and bowl of white rice Fisherman's Congee ($11) Roast Duck Congee ($13) Everything was fresh and delicious with generous portions. We skipped the line and ordered using the big tablet. Menu descriptions are non-existent, so if you don't know what something is, you're taking a chance. That's what I did with the Fisherman's Congee which turned out to have something I was allergic to (crustaceans). That's okay because the others ate it and I ordered a Roast Duck Congee instead. Yum. Service: Orders are called out on a microphone/speaker and you pick up at the counter. They forgot my chicken feet so I had to go up with my receipt and ask. They pulled their copy from the spike and made it right, with some squabbling among the employees in the process. Everyone had to bus their own tables. One employee cleaned the floor with rags instead of a mop. Not ideal. Overall, the dining room did not feel clean. The restroom was relatively decent, though. Atmosphere: We visited during a peak time, on a Sunday around 12:45 PM. The place was packed. Luckily, we were able to find a table. My wife described the scene as "chaotic." I call it authentic. :) read more

This place has the BEST and BIGGEST dumplings in Atlanta I was honestly shocked by the size--these dumplings are HUGE and packed with juicy, flavorful filling in every bite. The skin is perfectly soft with just the right chew, and everything tastes fresh and made to order. What makes it even better? XL dumplings starting at just $7. For the portion and quality, that's an insane deal. Plus, they even serve complimentary hot tea, which makes the whole experience feel even more authentic. The vibe is casual and no-frills, but that's how you know the food is legit. It's definitely a local favorite for a reason. If you're craving big, juicy dumplings in ATL, this spot is a MUST. I'll definitely be back read more

I tried this place again and it was even better than last time. They have an expansive menu, ranging from full dishes to dim sum. I love their dim sum. My favorites are the shrimp dumplings, pork buns, radish cakes, and shumai. Their honey bbq pork dish is also delicious! It was really crowded when we went on an early Sunday afternoon to the point that people were waiting for a table. They do not take reservations so it is first-come-first-serve. You order and pay at the counter and then take a seat wherever is open. They have a self-serve water, tea, condiments, and utensils station, making it easy to grab what you want without waiting on someone. read more

Best BBQ I was craving Cantonese BBQ, and where else would I go? Best BBQ. The name pretty much says it all--it's simply the best BBQ. The roast pork and crispy pork are both juicy and flavorful, served over rice. I can't get enough of this; there's so much goodness in every bite. The dim sum is equally as good. The portions are generous. The Tofu Skin Rolls, Sui Mai, and Stuffed Eggplants were all so yummy. The meat in the stuffed eggplant and sui mai is absolutely delicious. A bit of crunch like to the meat and the flavors of the natural ingredients come through just as Cantonese food should. You order and pick up your food at the counter, no frills. No frills, no ambience just good food is what you will get, every time. read more

Great place for Dim Sum. It is inside a grocery store right at the entrance. Not the best ambiance but that is not what I was coming here for. Prices are a little high considering an order of Siu Mai and BBQ Pork Rice Rolls is $16. Not much to say about service as it's a counter service place, and they just call your number when your food is ready. Everything is self serve. They have a station where you can get all your condiments, utensils, and napkins. I've also ordered the Crispy pork rice plate and it was good, but I wish it had more crispy skin pieces. I would order this again. read more

We had dinner here around 4:20pm today or so. This is located attached to a grocery store inside a strip mall. The inside is unassuming. There's quite a few tables with chairs along with big pictures on the wall of menu items. We ordered six dishes to share between the three of us and it was pretty inexpensive. The food came out sooooo quickly and was delicious!! Would absolutely come back! read more

Inside the front entrance of City Farmers Market, this casual Cantonese barbecue spot is a total hidden gem. You'll find all the roasted classics -- Peking duck, crispy pork, barbecue pork, soy sauce chicken -- plus a variety of dim sum and Chinese dishes to choose from. The dining area is small and fills up fast, especially on weekends, with a self-service area for water and hot tea. There's also a convenient kiosk if you're paying by credit card (just note the 3% surcharge, or think of it as a small discount for paying cash). I ordered the two-meat barbecue combo over rice ($16) and upgraded to egg fried rice for $2 more -- which was totally worth it. The crispy pork and barbecue pork were excellent, juicy, and flavorful, served with a light potato soup and a tangy pickled radish on the side. The fried rice was eggy, fluffy, and clearly made to order. I also tried the siu mai (pork and shrimp dumplings) from the dim sum menu -- they're $7, but once they arrived, I understood why. Four huge, perfectly steamed dumplings that were fresh, firm and delicious. Weekends can get a little chaotic here, especially since parking is shared with City Farmers Market, but I think it's worth the hassle. I only popped in while running errands and left seriously impressed. Great food, good value, and definitely going into my rotation. read more

One of our favorite places to get roasted duck. It's always fresh and delicious. Service is always quick, and you can dine in or order take out. Sometimes it's pretty busy inside, but they have a fair amount of seating. They also have dim sum, and a wide selection of other options. Would highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Wow I am so glad to have found an authentic Cantonese place in town! Everything is good - just how it should taste like. And the price is so reasonable too - they have you a huge plate for all the dishes. We always end up with lots of leftovers. Highly recommend the dim sums, the meat plates, and the stir fried noodles!! Like many authentic Chinese establishments, the ambience is meh. But it adds to the charm imo. read more

Let me tell you!!! This food was amazing. Everything ordered was delicious! Amazing portions, very flavorful, decent price point. I think I've found me new Chinese spot. It is worth the drive. They give pickled mustard greens with every order. Next time I'm going to bring home and order of just that. Think Kimchi without the spice. I loved it I love Dim Sum too and this place had the classic old favorites. The size was triple the normal size and you are served 4 pieces. Congee too! Give this place a try. They have something for everyone. read more

--Location/Parking-- There are two locations, this one is in a plaza with a Vietnamese supermarket. It is attached to the supermarket but located on the outer perimeter. Parking varies if there is a big event during the weekend. --Ambiance-- Small cozy, but still plenty of space to walk in and order. There is pictures for people who don't read Chinese which makes it easy to order. Water and tea station and hot sauce station. I think the setup is similar to a Chinese café that locals would venture to. --Service/Staff-- Staff was helpful in ordering and giving discount if you pay cash. They even pointed to pictures. The cashier I have been to every time always spoke English which was helpful in placing the order quickly. --Food/Products-- Great places recommend by locals to get dim sum to go. It was on several top ten list of dim sum for to go. There is also dishes along the walls on the interior of the restaurant to help me choose future orders. --Capacity-- Plenty of seating area that can fit 30 plus people in the seat area with its own tea and water station and to pick up your own hot sauce. --Overall-- My go to spot to pick up dim sum order on the to-go. read more

We love best bbq in Duluth a lot but I think we like this location even more. They are located in City Market farmers market. Service is less chaotic and the dining area is nicer though a bit small / crowded. They seem to do a lot of take out business. The food comes out quickly and is well prepared. The dimsum portions are very generous! I really like their shrimp dumplings! My other favorite (at both locations) is pan fried noodles with beef and vegetables. I keep forgetting to take photos of the food before I start eating. It's too good! read more

Great dim sum! This isn't one of those banquet-hall, rolling-cart dim sum spots, and the ambience leans cafeteria / hole-in-the-wall, but the food is delicious, affordable, and comes in large portions. You place your order and pay at the front, and then wait for them to call your number. It's an efficient operation! I'd recommend getting there a little earlier on weekends and during holidays, since the seats fill up fast. Some favorites: the beef tripe, chicken feet, har gow, and tofu skin. We also recently tried the fried stuffed tofu, which was a surprise hit -- will definitely be adding that to the regular rotation. I'd skip the youtiao (fried dough sticks), which were a bit stale, and the sweet egg yolk buns, which had a scrambled-egg consistency on the inside. There's also unlimited black tea on offer in a drink dispenser on the side, which is a nice perk. read more

Things probably taste a bit more fresh in person than takeout, but I felt like while most items were solid, some items fell flat in terms of flavor - mainly the 干炒牛河 was a bit bland and I'm not a fan of how thin the noodles are (I'm used to wider noodles). Something pretty good that surprised me were their 饺子. The filling has a nice ginger flavor and I found it more desirable to eat than the typical dumplings. I'd say my dim sum expectations are high but this place gets the job done. It has all the essentials! Would be interested in checking this place out in person. read more

This review is for the roast duck only - their dim sum looks good for fast food dim sum! Ordered a half duck for Thanksgiving and it was sadly a small portion that was mostly fat and skin. It tasted ok but disappointed in the portion and amount of actual meat. Got it to go and it was a fairly short wait. Wouldn't return for the duck but would go back to try the dim sum. read more

We stumbled upon this place while shopping in the farmer's market, drawn to the roast duck in the window. My aunt is from Singapore and knows a lot about Chinese cuisine. I'm not that adventurous and tend to order the same dishes when I'm left to my own devices, so this was a good way to try new things. I loved the beef chow fun! Definitely something I'll look for on every menu from now on. I don't think I'm really a duck person (a little too fatty/gamey for me) but my family enjoyed the duck dish that we ordered. I think yu choy is also a little too bitter for my liking so I didn't eat much of that, but others enjoyed it. I would definitely order from here again. read more

I finally made it here - I'd been to the Great Wall location and the Ranch 99 location several times a while back ... but never tried their dim sum. I was craving dim sum today, heard great reviews about their dim sum, and I love that here, you can dim sum anytime any day and it's a food stall! They didn't disappoint! Just order your dim sum at the front from a laminated menu w/ pictures and names but no prices. After paying, just wait for your # to be called to pick up your order - they cook the food-to-order! FYI pay cash - they charge an extra 3% fee for credit card. CHIVES DUMPLINGS - $7 or $8 You get 3 good size dumplings, plump with chives and shrimp. They were delicious! I think the dumplings taste good w/ the garlic chili oil - you can pour some at the condiment area, next to the complimentary water station. I would definitely get these again. CHEONG FUN - $7 or $8 This is the flat rice noodle roll filled with shrimp - or as the cashier called it, "wet shrimp". FYI there's another Cheong Fun dish served w/ dry shrimp. I appreciated that that shrimp was deveined. This dish was good too, and I liked the sweet sauce w/ it. 3 came w/ this order. I probably wouldn't get it again though. I'd definitely come back - next time I'd like to get their Prawn Dumpling and Chinese Chive Dumpling, my other dim sum favorites. FYI there is a sit-down area but it's usu. pretty packed. And then afterwards, I'd recommend taking a look around the City Farmers Market next door, and Saigon Tofu in the same strip mall for a pretty good selection of Vietnamese takeout. read more

My friend and I came here craving some good Chinese food. Orders are placed at the register and will be called out when ready for pick up. Take out or dine in options are available. My friend had been here before we split their 3 combo plate (BBQ pork, duck, and scallion chicken) and beef w/ egg chow foon. Out of the two protein options, I was a huge fan of the BBQ pork. The pieces of chicken and duck offered more bone than meat but still tasted good. The chow foon was doused in gravy and lots of veggies, just how I like it! Although it was more pricey than most Chinese food places the portions were double so it was justified. I will definitely come again to try more since their menu is huge with lots of other noodle, rice, and soup dishes to pick from. I recommend others to check out this casual and comfortable restaurant! read more

First time at Best (inside City Farmers market). The menus are all over the wall and printed out by the counter. Order at the counter, and they'll call your number when the food is ready. I'm pretty sure they speak English (they call numbers out in english, anyway). If you struggle to order, much of their menu has photos so you can probably just point to stuff. They have a self service area with chilis oils, to-go containers, water and even hot tea. I only ordered dim sum and was surprised by the portions. They're large (almost a little too large for certain orders of dim sum) but that certainly helps you stomach the price. If you eat with a fork and knife the size may be okay for you. I was a little confused about how to eat the massive cuts of stuffed eggplant. They were easily 1.5-2x the size of what I'm used to. It was delicious so no complaints. I wouldn't say this is the best dim sum in town, but it's easy and tasty. I went at lunch time and didn't have to worry about fighting for a table or if they stopped serving the things I wanted. The food IS GOOD. I found everything to be flavorful, even the cheung fun which is very hit or miss. The rice noodle was a little thick and chewy (on the ha gow too) which was a thumbs down for me but there was enough flavor to compensate. Huge upside, especially as the weather gets cold: you can walk off your meal while grocery shopping! read more

Best BBQ is a hidden gem, offering a vast menu that might seem overwhelming, but don't be discouraged! Take a peek at menu photos in advance for a smoother experience. My husband always asks me to order because he feels like it's a hectic environment, but the fast-paced nature and no-fuss service is part of the traditional Chinese restaurant experience. Don't expect smiles or thank yous from the staff. They serve dim sum all day! I also love their bbq rice combo plates. This restaurant is located inside the supermarket near Food Terminal. One of the Chinese ladies speaks fluent Spanish. Impressive! read more

We ordered takeout from here on a Saturday This place is located inside city farmers market right near the front and they have a huge variety of items. I think it's best bbq & best kitchen combined bc some menus say best kitchen but there's only one counter to order The dim sum prices aren't listed but I think they're $7-9/each for what we got We got duck & wonton noodle soup House lo mein I think Chives dumpling Shrimp hagao Pork siu Mai Shring cheong Fung Not sure if i spelled it all right The shrimp pieces are huge and plentiful and all of the dumplings in general are huge. The while thing came out to ~$52 + tip Everything was so good. We ate it again for lunch the next day and still have leftovers of the noodle soup & the lo mein to eat again The dumpling wrappers have a great chewy, soft texture and the siu Mai is very well seasoned! Wonton soup - I'd get the honey pork next time bc the duck got too soggy on the skin. They have a dim sum picture menu, picture menus on the walls and the tables also have menus. 3 different menus total to choose from! They have plenty of seating and water on tap to drink but they also sell herbal tea Loved everything & definitely will be back when we're getting groceries again Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot read more

Stumbling upon this location, while not life-changing, was a special treat. It's closer to our daughter's house, has much better 'atmosphere' (if you can call it that) than the Great Wall location setting, which is unattractive and uncomfortable (even for food court), and always crazy busy. Like that other location, this is right next to a big Asian-minded grocery store with live fish and all the accoutrements. The menu and prices are the same as far as I can tell. The food I'd say is at least comparable. Best BBQ dim sum and dishes are known for their huge portions, but the price is not bargain-basement - a huge plate of noodles sets you back from just below to just over $20. They also have a BBQ table here, where they'll cut up the char siu or chop up the duck or chicken you want to take home for a dinner dish - fun watching the Hispanic dudes wielding the cleaver as if they were born with it attached to their baby clutches. Parking is, on paper, worse, or even impossible, with so many other retail shops around it. In reality, we've seldom had a problem. There IS one tiny drawback for those of us counting steps: with the parking being right outside, your step count is going to be a fraction of what that vast parking lot at Great Wall can provide. That means, while YOU may be fed, your FitBit will still be hungry from under-nourishment. read more

Best Chinese dim sum selection and quality in the entire Atlanta area. Too bad they're in a grocery store but it keeps the grass wall lovers away. Love this place so much. I wish it was open late nights actually. It's authentic, self seating and delicious. Always a win. read more

Okay. After going here a bajillion times with friends, I think this is a solid spot now after trying different dishes. And so, I am updating my review to 5 stars. I can be picky with my Chinese food with my moods dictating the taste buds. But Best BBQ have dim sum, congee, noodles, rice, and even authentic clay pot dishes. You see people of all ages here pretty much all day. There's a good variety of things to choose from. And the prices are still reasonable. This is the one spot where most of our friends with differing viewpoints can agree upon: cheap food, dietary restrictions, budget concerns, picky eater. And the water and hot tea are still complimentary! :) Overall, Best BBQ has the quality, portion, and good price points. read more

This place is a fine Cantonese Hong Kong restaurant! All the flavors of pork, duck, beef, chicken, seafood with rice, noodles, soup, congee and wontons that you can think of. You've got your standard cha siu, roast duck, chicken, whole pig hanging in the windows and Dim sum made to order. I will say, the ha gao, siu mai, cheung fun tastes fine but is poorly put together. The dumpling wrapper is falling apart or the rice noodle to filling proportion is heavy on the rice noodle side. Your Chinese elderly relative from Hong Kong or a big city Chinatown might have something to say about that. read more

I don't get what the hype is about. Came here for a second time to make sure our last visit wasn't a fluke, and all in all, the food is meh. Bbq pork and honey pork were served cold both times I came. Their dim-sum offerings are pretty decent and come in bigger portions than others dim sum places. Congee is pretty standard. Their noodle soup came quite bland. Food comes fast. Service is fast and direct lol. Receipt comes back in chinese, so good luck trying to understand/itemize it - but hey, it adds to the whole experience, I guess? After dishing out $65 for 5 dim sum dishes, plain ramen noodle soup, and 1/2 lb of cold pork (no rice), it's safe to say we would rather go to Ming's bbq for the crispy and honey pork bbq and then hit up Dim Sum heaven for everything else. Now, they seem to have a good crowd/following, so I suggest to check it out for yourself, but this place was a miss for us. :( read more

Best BBQ - Duck noodle soup (with hua fun instead of egg noodle) - Barbeque Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

I've lost count of how many times I've been here. The roast pork, duck, or whatever on rice is my go to dish. The meat juices and pickled veggies are perfect. I learned if you get three meats, you get an egg too! The roast meat on rice has replaced Ming's BBQ for me. Their congee and rice dishes are also good but what's surprising about this place is their excellent dim sum. I actually prefer this to classic dim sum with the push carts. You don't have to wait around until the dim sum you want comes. Look at the pictures and just pick what looks good to you. My favorites are the radish cake and shumai which are both thick and large. The shumai is too thick and meaty for my wife but not to me. I also really like the fried eggplant. Would I come here again? Yes. The prices for their dim sum have definitely increased in price but the taste to price ratio is still excellent. Also, it's right next to a grocery store so it's very coinvent. read more

Made fresh to order, so if you don't wanna wait 10+ minutes, then go to McD. Went on a Tues, so very little wait. I know the other location in Duluth, at Great Wall Market, has a line on the weekends.
