Overall One of the better dim sum and Cantonese style Chinese food experiences I've had in the Duluth area. A few standout dishes were so good they almost carried the whole meal to a 5. Best dishes (the reasons to come) 1) Salt and pepper squid This one was excellent. Fried well, not greasy heavy, topped with plenty of fried garlic, plus cilantro and fresh cabbage to balance the richness. Super satisfying and well executed. 2) Dried chow fun with beef Also a standout. Great texture and temperature, well seasoned, and the ingredients felt evenly distributed instead of clumped or uneven. This dish was done right. 3) Eggplant in a small pot Served in a small pot that keeps it warm for a long time, which makes a big difference. There's a lot of sauce, but you can reduce how salty it tastes by how you scoop and serve it. Comforting and flavorful. If you ordered just these three, you'd already have a great meal. Other dishes (good, not amazing) Coconut shrimp The shrimp itself was cooked well, and I appreciated the broccoli on the side to balance the heaviness. The issue was the sauce: way too much. It got soggy fast and leaned too sweet and too salty. Next time, I'd ask for the sauce on the side so you can control it. We also tried a vegetable dish and a fish dish. Both were decent, but not particularly memorable. Tea They serve tea if you order it. The chrysanthemum tea was pretty good, and I liked that it was loose leaf. Atmosphere and service We went around 2:30 to 3:00 pm, so it wasn't crowded. The vibe felt very local and family friendly. It's an older building, but clean enough and inviting. Service was great, and it seemed even smoother if you have someone in your group who can speak Cantonese. Would I return? Yes. I'd come back, especially for the salt and pepper squid, dried chow fun with beef, and the eggplant pot. read more

Well here's an unenthusiastic update to my last review, so pardon the lackluster vibe. The food was so-so this time around. We ordered pan fried buns and instead received Chinese donuts in the bag :( I didn't realize it until we got home, but I never had an issue with this place so it didn't occur to me that they prepared (or packed?) the wrong thing. If I ever return, I'll know to do better than expect the correct order and check everything before heading out. The crab rangoon was still flavorful but whatever dough they wrapped it with this time was so freaking tough that it cut the top of my mouth. My jaw should not get a workout from eating crab rangoon of all things. Another disappointment in the bag. But the beef entree we ordered was good, yet overshadowed by the other letdowns of the night's visit given that I can't really remember what exactly we ate. I'm going to remove another star for the unhygienic practices I witnessed that I was perhaps blissfully ignorant of my last time visiting. It's hard to look past a server comfortably coughing into their hand and proceeding to handle multiple patrons' plates and orders without as much of a squirt of sanitizer. I will say though they are quite dedicated to the customer. As I was sitting in the parking lot waiting 10-15min for my order to finish, someone clearly forgot their food and the same hacking server ran out to give it to them. Oh wait! Turns out that was actually our food being jostled around as he ran through the parking lot searching for the owner. I was watching the time and planned on returning but maybe I wasn't moving fast enough for this guy lol. He did all that just for the order to be wrong.... Damn bro. I prayed he didn't box the food. I guess we didn't come on a good day? I really don't know what happened but the entire experience was off. Based on the night's events, I don't know if I'll return. No pictures this time... I was too pissed off. Didn't fight the incorrect order either as I was too tired and really only ordered here because Northern China Eatery was closed. At least the food was decent. Heavy on the word "decent". read more

Three of us just went to eat at Bo Bo garden cuisine. We ordered orange chicken. I loved how they cut the chicken thin. Salt and pepper eggplant, shrimp with ginger and scallions and crispy sweet and sour pork riblets. It was all so very delicious we were so full because we could not stop eating!! read more

Came by for Saturday dinner and it was pretty full but luckily we snagged a seat. We felt a little bit rushed to order as they were hovering over us and asked multiple times what we wanted to order, perhaps their goal is efficiency. Was excited to try the peking duck with buns but were really disappointed in them. They were quite dry - both the duck AND the buns which should be fluffy and moist. Won't be getting that again. They seem to excel in the claypots - the eggplant and xo egg tofu dishes were AMAZING. I plan to come back to try more of them. The walnut shrimp was pretty good but a little too saucy for my liking. I did like how it came with broccoli so we didn't have to order a veg. Overall seems like they have some standout dishes and others not so great. read more

After a group activity, we longed for some dinner. Someone suggested Bo Bo garden as it can accommodate our large group. This was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the dinner for 6 people and all but one plate was cleared. It's hard to pick a favorite as they were all pretty good. The group collectively did not care for the scallion chicken. Everything came out hot and well seasoned. They even give you some fruits at the end. Service was fast but we did have to ask for water. Dinner for 6 comes with: Beef and cilantro egg drop soup Pork chop with Peking sauce Flounder Shrimp with walnut XO egg tofu Black pepper steak Scallion chicken Seasonal vegetables read more

I absolutely looove Bo Bo Garden! There was about a 2 month streak where my husband and I would go every weekend. Pretty sure they know us by now lol. The service is great and very fast! I typically order the Singapore Noodles, House Lo mein, or some other type of house rice noodle dish. I've also ordered Chinese broccoli and it was fantastic! In a crowded sea of Asian restaurants along Buford Highway, Bo Bo stands out. It also helps that my favorite rolled ice cream place ( ICE NY) is right next door :) read more

Looking for another excuse to celebrate Lunar New Year, my friends and I made dinner reservations here on a Sunday. There still looked to be plenty of other tables available but they also quickly filled up so I think it's always better safe than sorry. Parking was a breeze since they have their private lot with a fair amount of spots. Decor is consistent with other traditional Chinese restaurants with an even bigger room that they had blocked off, great if looking for a large venue in the area. Being a group of 15, we got the classic 10 course wedding dinner meal consisting of a variety of dishes including Stir fry tofu and pork with chives, Salt n pepper squid, Scallions Chicken, Fried Salted Fish Fried Rice, Egg tofu in sauce, Beef stir fry, Lobster Ginger & Scallion, Butter Cheese, Mexican Style, Hong Kong style, Hot Red Pepper, Pork Chop with Peking Sauce, Peking Duck, and Fried rice to name a few. Some of my favorites were of course the lobster, the egg tofu, beef stir fry, and pork chop. Everything came out in a flash and they were very on top of cleaning off our table and refilling our tea kettles. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. Our bellies were full, our cheeks sore from laughing, and we were able to get in and out especially for being such a large group. Bathrooms were pretty clean and the staff were very nice. Would love to come again and recommend others to check them out! read more

Our friends told us that this was their go-to Chinese stalwart and we could see why! Flavorful food (I especially liked the greens) and warm, attentive service made this a great quick dinner stop. read more

Food was incredible. These are large dinner portions amount to share! I love that they served the sesame chicken sauce in a separate container to go so the chicken stays crispy. Vegetable fried rice was incredible. Hot and sour soup is as good as you'd expect. I found the happy family a bit lacking, and just OK. Thai tea was tasty. The server/hostess was super friendly. She kept reassuring me it was coming right out. Pretty standard Chinese decor. Nestled right into a little corner shopping center. read more

I don't think I've ever been when it hasn't been seemingly busy, though I think they tend to seat people in one area before they open up the rest of the restaurant. Upon entering, it appears smaller than the outside makes it look. However, near the entrance, there are other rooms for seating, some private and some for when the main seating area becomes full. The interior has some decorations many who frequent Chinese restaurants will be familiar with, and there are some fish tanks that showcase the fresh fish they use. The food is pretty good. They have many options, and it comes out pretty quick. I've come here a few times over the years I've lived in Georgia, and the black pepper steak has always been pretty consistent. Their fried options are usually done crispy too, but this time, the tofu (which is my first time ordering it) wasn't fried long enough, so the texture was off. It tasted fine, so we did finish it. Everything else was good. read more

Came here with a large group for lunar new year and they were so accommodating!! A couple people arrived early and ordered, the waiter told the kitchen to make the food 10 min before the rest of the group arrived so it would still be fresh! Food was authentic Chinese and so good!! 5/5 food - favorite was the egg tofu and spicy fish 5/5 service 5/5 vibes - plenty of parking and classic Chinese restaurant vibes! read more

This is a very tasty Cantonese place in Doraville! It is a small restaurant, and everything about it does look unassuming. But the food is really good, reminding me of a taste similar to what you can get in Southern China. The prices are also very fair, with decent portion sizes. This is also one of the only places I know in the area that has clay pot rice, so if you ever want to try clay pot rice, this is the place to go! I would definitely come again some time to try more of their dishes. read more

Went for lunch, service was efficient. You're seated quickly and food comes out rather quick. Here's what I liked. Tons of parking, efficiency and food. I love the array of teas they offer and how it's served. The chrysanthemum tea was great. After your meal, your given a complimentary palette cleanser. That day it was oranges. What I wasn't ready for, was the waitstaff. I felt a little watched, not rushed but their presence was constantly monitoring. Also, be prepared, for their accents. Just be patient, they are nice. read more

This is one of my go to Chinese restaurants. They have great food. They have great selection and they will also make things that are not on the menu. My only negative comment is that they don't have dark meat chicken, which is strange being a Chinese restaurant. The service is what you expect at a typical Chinese restaurant on Buford Highway. The clientele is predominantly Asian, but this place is frequented by many non-Asians. Unlike other Chinese restaurants in the area, this Chinese restaurant charges for extra rice. The atmosphere of the place can either be very loud or normal noise level, depending on how many kids are there. read more

Tried a bunch of dishes for lunch. The beef brown flat noodles and fried rice were missing flavor. The snow pea tips were lacking in aromantics. The salt and pepper squid was chewy too. The place was neat and had quick service. It was quick to made and came hot, but water and tea refill were slow. read more

Very bad service !! Heavy faces !! Food was ok !! The worst was service It's not hard to be kind and open minded!! Never come back!! read more

One of my favorite Christmas traditions involves abandoning every notion of Christmas and going out for Chinese food instead. Not as a protest. More as a quiet, personal achievement. Because we're a blended family, we do Christmas morning on Christmas Eve morning. Then we release the children back to their respective homes and traditions, which means that by Christmas Day our house is empty. No wrapping paper. No jingle music. No one asking where the scissors went even though they are, and always have been, in the same drawer. It's glorious. At that point, going to Buford Highway feels appropriate. What better way to celebrate than strip-mall lighting and a menu thick enough to stop a bullet? Most years we go to Gu's, because habit is comforting and their crispy beef has never once betrayed us. But this year we branched out to Bo Bo Garden, which I am fairly certain used to be a Korean restaurant thati went to in the 1990s. Apparently it has been Bo Bo Garden for quite some time now, and I'm just late to the reunion. The food was really good. The service was friendly. The atmosphere was fine in the way that says, "We are here for the food, not the chairs." Along one wall, live seafood stared out at us from lucite tanks, judging silently. It's a little unsettling, but also comforting in a very literal, nothing here was frozen in 2018 kind of way. The spicy beef was the standout. Great garlic chicken, dumplings and noodles. Christmas Day memories are now chili oil, good food, and the comforting knowledge that sometimes the best traditions are the ones that involve absolutely no effort to impress anyone. read more

Great food, fast service! Would recommend to anyone ! Went on Christmas and it was fabulous !

E X P E R I E N C E so traditional that they have live fish swimming around in tanks. you can choose which fish you want to be cooked! when we walked in, we were immediately greeted. there were a few other tables occupied. we came as a group of two on a thursday around noon. we were immediately brought drinks and given menus. S E R V I C E fantastic. (especially for a chinese restaurant. many times they don't care lol) they're very attentive and polite. they checked up on us several times and if we were looking around for them, they would immediately come help. F O O D water spinach: cooked v well. garlic. light. flavorful. cumin lamb: different than what i expected. i expected a fried dish but this was very good too. flavor was balanced. nice to have a different flavor salt and pepper spare ribs: a bit dry but my friend said this is usually done v well. flavor was good though. lightly fried congee: incredible. my friend wanted to order this which i was resistant bc im asian, i cook and don't order anything i can make at home. but this congee was fire! sooo tasty B A T H R O O M v well kept. clean. no smell. 3 spacious stalls for women.

Food is solid here. Some great dishes including the salt and pepper squid, The tofu puffs, peking pork chops. But it has gotten pricey. Even the lunch specials are a pretty small portion. They do have a nice large private room that you can reserve without a fee. read more

Still five stars in my book. Bo Bo Garden has been a staple in my life for well over 10 years. I no longer live in ATL, but every time I'm there, Bo Bo Garden sees me. The Hong Kong Lobster STILL reigns supreme, but also give the Salt and Pepper Shrimp (shell on) a try-- they are divine! read more

I pretty much almost exclusively come here on Christmas or a holiday because it's open. I never had a bad meal here. There are some things I like more than others but I always leave full. We came on Christmas and had reservations so that makes things easier. This place is always packed on Christmas and a little less so on Thanksgiving. My favorite dish in this restaurant is probably the xo tofu. The fried eggplant, steak and peppers, fried chicken, pork were all good. The only thing I didn't love was the lobster. I realized that I actually don't love lobster more than I love butter and the lobster was just a excuse for me to eat butter. I can also be a lazy eater. I think between the 6 of us and 8 dishes, we were pretty full. The total came out to $50 a person but that because the two lobsters ran for $80. Would I come here again? Yes. I like the food here. read more

If you want authentic Cantonese Chinese food, look no further. This spot is absolutely it. My family came here for dinner and ordered a slew of dishes, all which were truly incredible. My dad has been a Chinese chef for over 40+ years and he agreed that this spot has all the flavors spot on, without any dishes being too heavy or Americanized. I will personally say - do not come here expecting incredible service or Americanized dishes like Orange Chicken. Be respectful and mindful of any language barriers or dishes that might not be familiar to you. There's incredible food in every culture & if you come to Bo Bo Garden, expect to get the real deal but don't yuck someone else's yum! Excited for the next time to come back here :) read more

The whole experience was rushed last Saturday night. I call it the hustle when a place tries to rush you through hoping to turn your table, 2X -3X per seating. It is an annoying practice and as a regular I felt insulted. The food was excellent as usual, but I will enjoy a more relaxed meal at BBQ Corner II, across BuHi. read more

It was sooo good! Definitely will be back. Especially for that spicy beef... The only thing i would not recommend is the general tso's chicken. Taste like funnel cake wrapped chicken for children read more

We are from Tallahassee visiting Atlanta and were willing to try a restaurant that we never tried before. We decided to try Bo Bo garden and we ordered 1 beef and egg rice casserole & 1 chicken and mushroom rice casserole for to go. We were very disappointed in both dishes. My husband didn't like all the bones in his chicken and mushroom rice casserole and my daughter didn't enjoy her beef and egg rice casserole either. Both dishes lacked of seasonings and flavor. For $20 meal each, we were expecting a lot more. read more

The best Beef Lo Mein I've ever had, oh my god. The mongolian beef was also a 9/10. We also ordered Fried Rice 8.5/10, and the Orange Chicken 7.5/10. Staff were very attentive to refills and very friendly. Food is BOMB!!!! read more

We absolutely love this place! Everything we've had has been excellent. I love the salt and pepper squid, and clams with black bean sauce. The squid is seasoned perfectly, and the clams are meaty and super fresh tasting. My new favorite dish is the snow pea leaves. If you've never had them, they're like a cross between spinach and bok choy. This place is a must try if you're in the mood for Chinese food! read more

I was beyond excited when I saw that this restaurant had claypot rice. Coming from Miami, I have been searching for the dish for over 3 years, and I have finally found it. Making it myself is too time consuming and I don't have a gas stove at home. The claypot rice takes 30 minutes to make, but well worth the wait. From the sauce give to the topics to the rice, every moment was enjoyable. Will definitely be back for more! read more

First time trying this seafood heavy Chinese restaurant and I will definitely go back again. The only negative thing I can say is that our waiter spoke no English, so he was not able to help us with the menu. I ordered a grouper dish with Chinese veggie and it was delicious and for lunch it was very reasonably priced! Lunch comes with choice of soup or egg rolls. Egg rolls were very so-so. Have the soup instead. My wife enjoyed her Mongolian chicken, which I finished for her. Yummy. Service was prompt. Restrooms were very clean. Price was very reasonable. I would do that again with no problem. read more

The tables are still fairly spaced out and menus are by QR code/ phone, so fairly good in terms of COVID precautions. All staff wore masks as well. Chinese preserved meat rice casserole- taste wasn't any thing too special. The rice was fairly crispy though. Eggplant and minced pork with garlic sauce- definitely slumped on the pork and wasn't spicy as advertised. However, it was very flavorful and I would get it again. read more

Been a staple in Atlanta for its authentic and classic Chinese food. I usually go with at least a group of four to enjoy the food family-style - I want a bite of every dish! They have a huge menu with a variety of dishes, ranging from rice to noodles to pork to beef to live seafood to authentic Chinese vegetables. Some of my favorites are the Chinese bbq spare ribs with onions, ong choy, fish maw soup, clams with black bean sauce, beef and peppers, and lobster with ginger and scallion. The service is very authentic too - fast and to the point. They still check up on you as needed though! This restaurant will surely be a staple in Atlanta for years to come. read more

I ordered 10 dishes for 5 people. -crab rangoon. Standard. Nothing crazy extraordinary but that's what we love about crab rangoon; the worst one still tastes good. Basic but it scratches the itch. -eggplant with pork in garlic sauce. Solid. -garlic bone in half chicken. Good. Garlic was great. -salt and pepper squid. A little too salty BUT the garlic chips were damnnnn good. -roast duck. Solid. -dry fried string beans with pork. Too salty but good flavor. -hot casserole rice with chicken and mushroom. Takes 30 minutes to cook. Came last after 9 courses and we were too full to give it a proper chance. Decent. -water spinach. FIRE AF. Not on menu. Ask for it. It was stupid good. My Vietnamese auntie talked about good it was. We did it yall. We did it. -walnut shrimp. I'd get it again. -egg tofu in XO sauce. Another banger. Just get it. And then they gave us red bean dessert soup which I loved. Food came out stupid quick which made my heart so happy. Wait staff was attentive. read more
