    This is a really solid place! I ordered a spicy chicken hotpot, sizzling beef with noodles and chicken fried rice. It was just me and my two kiddos, what was I thinking! The portion size was large and very tasty. There was a slight language barrier with the lady at the counter but the service was great. It was in a small mall so the food court was typical. I will definitely be coming back.

    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!

    Beef burrito

    Tried their beef burrito from a small kiosk. The cashier was very friendly and kind. It was a good size for being around $12. Overall, I liked the flavor of salty with slightly sweet. But I did find it to be a little dry so a bit of soy sauce and vinegar definitely helped. Would come again and enjoy the casual environment.

    Great food!!! Quiet atmosphere and sometimes customers are waiting in line, especially after leaving the theater close by. Quick service, friendly atmosphere. ​

    I had ordered a vegetable dry hot pot and asked for vegetarian version. It was nice surprise to have tofu added as they usually do not come with tofu. It was a nice addition along with different medley of vegetables! It also comes with complimentary hot and sour soup which keeps you satiated until the food comes out. The service fast and came out within minutes.

    HIT OR MISS BUT WHEN IT HITS, IT REALLY HITS! With Chinese food, I'm a taste over ambiance/service kind of girl. The service is decent every time, counter service, straight forward. The ambiance is food court- must I say more? Lol but the food quality and taste can really vary depending on what you order. Prices are all over the place; dishes that reflect $8-9 on the paper menu that they still keep on the counter is actually $12-14 now so be mindful of t Things to get: chili oil wontons, dumplings, steamed fish filet, Chinese burrito. Things to pass on: tea smoked duck, ginger scallion shrimp.

    Spicy ground pork noodle with a complimentary egg drop soup.
    Andrea M.

    A great value for the portion size along with complimentary soup (either egg drop or vegetable). It's a self serve station along with water on the counter so don't forget either one. I was craving noodles so I ended up getting the spicy ground pork noodle. This was a dry noodle dish with a slight amount of sauce at the bottom. You can ask for less spicy which still has a tinge of spice. There weren't much ground pork but plenty of noodles. China Kitchen is located in Chinatown. Overall a good value for quality and portion. Bring cash if you want to save on a 3.5% credit card fee.

    China Kitchen is located in the China Town Food Court.

    China Kitchen is in the Chinatown Food Court, and it certainly has a very busy menu. It took me a few minutes to look at everything on the menu, and, even after doing that, I still didn't have a clue of what I wanted. It had been a while since I ordered a hot pot anywhere, and that's what I decided to order. Credit cards are accepted, and there is a sign at the counter that states a 3.5% convenience fee will be added. I ordered Beef and Vegetable Hot Pot, at a medium spice level. In hindsight, I really should've ordered mild, because while I was eating medium spicy, my sinuses drained, my tongue went numb, and (in my mind) even the plain, steamed white rice tasted spicy! Nonetheless, my hot pot was served less than 5 minutes after I ordered it, and the employee brought the food in a wok, placed it on a stand on my table and lit a candle in the stand that was used to keep my hot pot hot, like boiling hot, for a while. This delicious hot pot was packed with cuts of tender beef, slices of zucchini, tofu, cabbage, chopped up cilantro, and glass noodles. I suggest that anyone getting any of the hot pots stir everything before eating so you can have a great mix of ingredients throughout your meal. I was offered steamed white rice, hot tea and water, all unlimited and available at the counter. At the end of the meal, leave everything there and someone will come by to clean everything up. In addition to a very filling meal, which easily could've been shared, quick, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable service is what I got here. I will definitely return for future meals at China Kitchen. If hot pots are not your thing, China Kitchen also serves up dim sum and vegetable dishes. There are many Chinese dishes on the menu that give you options of having beef, lamb, pork, chicken, seafood or vegetables in it.

    Definitely a great spot to enjoy some delicious Chinese cuisine. We have a lot of dishes a try & I must say they were all DELICIOUS‼ The eggplant with brown sauce was one of my fav dishes. The flavoring is so good that you'll forget you're eating a vegetable. The salt & pepper fish was also a fav of mine with the beef hot pot . We also had Szechuan chicken and a few other dishes, but my all time FAV was the garlic chicken. Chunks of chicken covered in this delectable brown garlic sauce . I'll definitely be back because my friend recommends we try their Chinese beef burrito .

    Sesame Chicken
    Dazziyah M.

    This place was not 4 stars. Unfortunately i didn't have a good experience here. I was ignored by the people when I had a question about where to pick my food up. The food smelled great, but my sesame chicken was very soggy and some pieces were cold. My "egg roll" that I asked for was a spring roll. I personally do not like spring rolls so I was pretty sat about that. The rice was the good part, but overall I was not satisfied.

    Jordan H.

    Seriously...the BEST. No doubt we will be back. Chinese Burrito is like eating pho in burrito form. Soup dumplings with the black vinegar at the counter perfect. Also pictured are the sesame balls, scallion pancake and house fried rice! To drink we shared a mixed fruit juice the friendly man at the counter recommended! 10/10 Taking a walk through the garden after lunch was the best ending to a delicious lunch!

    Scallion cake (pancake)
    Terry H.

    Pre-COVID, we had only eaten here 1-2 times over several years, usually when we just wanted to try something different in the Chinatown food court. During the 1st year of COVID, we ordered here at least once a week for pickup. Excellent food. Very reasonable prices. Family run business. QUICK TIP: Listen carefully when they repeat your order. I've had items missing and once heard the wife explain to the husband in Chinese that she didn't understand what I had ordered over the phone. Rather than ask me to repeat, she just left it off. So pay attention when they're repeating your order. ANOTHER QUICK TIP: They use BeyondMenu for online orders. I prefer to order online to avoid any confusion in phone orders (see above). However, BeyondMenu does not list all available menu items. One example is the scallion pancake appetizer. It's on the menu board and printed menu but is missing from the online ordering menu. TOP FOOD PICKS: Spicy Master Dumping (must have), Scallion cake, Shanghai Soup Pork Dim Sum, Beef Chinese Burrito, Salt Pepper Squid, Spicy Ground Pork Noodle.

    Come here all the time. Family owned and operated, delicious food, fast friendly service. Food court atmosphere, but worth the experience. You will be back!

We were a party of 5 and found both the food and the service to be inconsistent. The Food: Most dishes were mediocre or worse. The Three Cups Chicken (1/5) was the worst I've ever had. The Hong Kong Style Shrimp (1/5) was just bland, tasteless fried shrimp. The Lamb with Scallion (2/5) was far too salty. The only "average" dish was the Spicy Beef and Tendon (3/5), but one decent dish can't save a meal this poor. The Service & Billing: The service was quite slow during our visit. We waited a long time for the check and eventually ended up packing our own leftovers and heading to the front counter to pay so we could head out. I was also surprised to see an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill, especially since it was calculated on the total after tax ($23.07 tip on a $106.80 subtotal). While I understand automatic tips for groups, it felt a bit high due to poor services. There are a lot of great dining spots in the area, but based on this disappointing visit, I'm sure I would not return to this one.

The whole setup is like a mini food hall with several authentic Chinese spots to choose from--but Chong Qing is where I landed. I ordered the crispy chicken with garlic sauce and swapped the white rice for a side of house lo mein (yes, it's an upcharge, but worth it). Everything came out on real dishes--not to-go boxes--which I loved. You order and pay at the counter, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Now let's talk about the food... DELICIOUS. The spice level was just right--flavorful with a nice kick, but not overpowering. If you like it hotter, you can definitely add more heat, but I was perfectly satisfied as is. The lo mein was really good too--veggies were fresh with a nice crisp (those onions and carrots were hitting!), and everything tasted well-balanced. Only small note: I wish there was a little more meat in the dish, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. And let me say this--the portion size is VERY generous. I ate until I was full and still had just as much left to take home, which is always a win in my book. All in all, I'll definitely be back to try more. If you're in Chinatown Market and not sure what to pick, Chong Qing Hot Pot is a solid choice. 4/5 stars for me!

New Lan Zhou Noodle is one of the restaurants in the China Town food court. It's pretty popular due to their freshly made daily pulled noodles. Pre-pandemic, you used to be able to see them do it behind a glass screen. Now, you cannot see the back kitchen. Hubby and I ordered a noodle dish each (him was Seafood and mines were Short Ribs) along with their soup dumplings (that they're known for) and Twisted Cruellers. Food took very long to make, but it's understandeable. Bowls were very big and full. Meats looks good, but the white broth did not look good at all. We took a spoonful of broth to start off with without adding any condiments and OMG...no flavor at all! We were thoroughly disappointed. The meats part were good and tender (though again, no flavor), but most disappointing was that even with condiments, the broth was bland. We kept on saying to each other that we will not order from here again. The noodles were just okay. Nothing earth shattering about it. Twisted cruellers tasted like it was just heated from a frozen one. I didn't get to taste the soup dumplings because we were running late for appt since the foods took so long and had to pack it to-go. I can't really comment on that. I will not order from here again and would like to try the surrounding stalls around it.

Shrimp fried rice, dumplings, pork buns, different types of noodles, plenty of different pork and chicken dishes to suit your pallet. And if you love shrimp, there are lots of shrimp options too.

It's really delicious and perfectly seasoned and plenty to share. I think the young man at the counter was having a bad day or a bit overworked because he wasn't very pleasant but I do appreciate him telling me sorry for the long wait, because it took a while to get my chicken, but it was just a busy time around lunch. It was worth the weight though. Next time I want to try those meatballs they really looked delicious and someone I was with ordered them and they had my mouth watering. And also, I got the barbecue pork on rice and the Singapore rice noodles from Hong Kong BBQ. The noodles have three different meats in it and I believe curry seasoning. The flavors are delicious. The barbecue pork over rice was pretty simple and plain, but I do appreciate that it comes with some steamed bok choy because it's nice to have a good balance of some vegetables in there with all the starch and pork.
