    Zai tofu
    Ann W.

    When in ATL we like to stop by, this time we did the usual Thai chili chicken Chong fun, a beef bulgogi bao, salted egg yolk garlic noodle and zhaCai pan mee noodle. Service was good never overwhelming here. Food went down a notch sadly. The bao was overly sweet and beef, too minced. Chong fun was great again, garlic noodle while shrimp were salty and good the dish needed more sauce. The saddest was my entree ZhaCai (mushroom based) noodle dish. It just lacked flavor, even salt at home didn't fix.

    Ample space to sit & parking. There is a robot server that goes around. Good for large parties, no need to reserve. Their menu is a magazine so expect hella options. Overall, food and prices are reasonable for the portions.

    Food Terminal is one of my favorite restaurant spots around Atlanta. They are now on the Michelin Guide and rightfully so. Their food is extremely tasty and they have a huge variety. They are both vegetarian and vegan friendly with lots of options. My favorite today was the unagi bao. My go-to favorites are the garlic butter shrimp noodles and Grandma's BBQ Pork. Although I did not drink today, they have great cocktail options as well. This location is accessible with plenty of parking. There was plenty of seating for midday on a Sunday. The waiters are friendly and efficient, and they use these robot machines to help bring food to your table. It's a fun experience and the food comes out quickly.

    Calamari with Mango Sauce

    Just down right love this place. First time was an about 5 or 6 years ago and loved it and then forgot about it. The first of the year we decided to return and glad we did. Have since been three more times. The last trip a couple of weeks ago we dragged a couple of friends and they fell in love with Food Terminal. This is the way to go try Food Terminal...you get lots of different tastes if you go with the correct people!!! We arrived a bit after 1:00PM so that some of the lunch crowds had thinned. We asked for a seat with that might be a little quieter and it was. Service is always great. Ask and they deliver. How nice. We sat over to one side closer to the windows and the noise level was fine. Then there was the ordering of food. We wanted everything. We settled on the Honey Butter Shrimp on a Salad, the Grandma BBQ Pork on Noodles with Egg, Fried Calamari with a Mango Sauce, an order of Fried Wontons, Pork Belly Crispy Bao, and Shiitake Mushroom Cheong Fun. Everything was perfect. And all agreed that the best and favorite dish was the Honey Butter Shrimp. The Pandan sauce that accompanies this fried shrimp is to die for. I could eat it with a spoon. The fried Calamari was some of the best we have had. The texture was perfect...not too chewy and the mango sauce only enhanced the taste. Both my wife and I were a little leery of the garlic noodles but they were only enhanced by a small hint of garlic making them almost addictive. Service was great. Not rushed at all. A nice leisurely lunch. Prices are somewhat reasonable when looking at the quality of ingredients, the portion size and today's costs. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

    Yelp is one of the only places left where people read about food... so I'm here to write about it. This spot has been on my list forever, and I quickly understood what makes it special on my first try. I'm 100% here for the 腸粉 cheung fun in bold, fusion flavors. While not as layered and delicate as what I've had in Malaysia and Hong Kong, it definitely satiated the craving. Sure, I ordered at least 6 dishes here, but nothing comes close to their cheung fun. Will be back to try every flavor. I sat outdoors for a classic hawker vibe. No one got the memo or understood the assignment, as ususal. After seeing so much fuss about Food Terminal online, I avoided it for almost a year. I FINALLY visited and figured out that the influencers they hired just didn't get the memo, as usual. This is because businesses don't promote with foodies that actually understand the cuisine. So sad, but at least I FINALLY went here!

    (PS) Curry Spare Ribs ~$20 would not get again, salty
    Hannah L.

    Arrived here, not knowing this place was Michelin guide in 2024. Had high expectations when we found out, but our experience was let down by overly salted dishes or lack of flavors in others. No wait on a Monday afternoon. - Hot Tea $3.5: Was given two cups of hot water which was nice, as were able to split the tea bag into two uses. Strong GT flavor. - Penang Prawn $16.95: I liked how there was both rice thin noodles and egg thin noodles. Fish cake and prawns were yummy. Broth itself lacked flavor and was not memorable. - Egg Yolk Brussel Sprouts $8.95: good flavor and crisp, but on the saltier end. - Curry Spare Ribs w Rice $19.95: Fall off the bone, but the sauce was also salty ): - Shrimp Bone Marrow $16.95: Similar egg noodles to the penang. I did like the broth of this better, although it wasn't as rich as I hoped. Egg was perfect boiled with a runny center. No fresh chilis here, just chili oil which had a nice kick. Accidentally indicated the wrong dish on the menu but I feel this could have been avoided if servers confirmed the order before submitting it. Our waitress was good tho. I would still consider coming back here to give this place another shot as they have an extensive menu (I was surprised to see how thick they're menu was lol)

    Curry Tofu Noodle Soup
    Maggie H.

    Came back to try some of their more famous foods (and why they're michelin recommended)! I got the garlic bone marrow noodle soup. The soup was warming and refreshing. The restaurant is freezing cold though, so doing soup was a good choice. The Szechuan bone marrow soup was also really good and not very spicy. It just has the typical chili oil flavor but wasn't too spicy. I'd get that next time. We shared some beef fried rice because the server said it was large. It was a large portion. Oily and flavorful.

    As soon as that highly regarded M word pops up, I can't help but sound the skepticism alarm. Whether it's Michelin star or in this case Michelin guide choice, this recognition isn't an easy one to achieve. Food Terminal comes with a lot of hype, but is it worth it? Uhhhhh yes, yes it is. Simply put, the food is exceptional. I actually didn't want to write a review until I was able to make multiple trips and try a few different items. It's a massive menu. But From the appetizers, to the soups, to the noodles, they can do no wrong. The depth of flavor in the curry noodle soup to the fry of the calamari or shrimp....its technically beyond reproach. The honey butter garlic shrimp noodle is the stuff dreams are made of. At least my dreams. How they were able to create such bold flavors in such a simple dish is incredible. Easy to see why this dish received the Michelin recognition. I'd seriously pay big money to learn this recipe! In my opinion, Food Terminal is in contention for the best Asian dining spot in America, period.

    Food Terminal is one of those spots that just hits--whether you're craving street food-style comfort or something a little more adventurous. First off, parking is easy and free (hallelujah), and the space is huge with both indoor and patio seating, which makes it perfect for groups or casual hangouts. The menu? Massive. But don't worry--they've got photos for almost every dish, which makes it easier to explore all the different flavors. Plus, they have a full cocktail and alcohol menu and bubble teas, so you're covered whether you're in the mood to sip or slurp. We ordered the roti canai (so flaky and buttery), honey butter shrimp (crispy, sweet, and addictive), nasi lemak with beef curry (super flavorful), kimchi rolling hot plate (served sizzling hot!), and the Szechuan steamed wontons (a spicy, mouthwatering bite). Every dish was on point. Also love that it's on the Michelin guide--it's well deserved. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Chamblee area and want something tasty, fast, and fun. We will be back to try out some more items on their menu. P.S. don't miss their robot servers

    Grandma BBQ Pork Tossed Noodle
    Quincy P.

    My daughter and I went here for lunch on a Saturday. The menu is a book but the pictures help a lot. I ordered the Grandma's BBQ Pork Fried Rice and my daughter had the Grandma's Wonton BBQ Pork Tossed Noodle. We also had the Steamed Chicken Dumplings as an appetizer. We enjoyed everything as all the food had great flavor! The waitress was very not very attentive. We waited quite a while just to ask for water and to order a beverage. My daughter had the Strawberry Peach Black Tea. We will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

    Nasi Lemak Curry Chicken Rice
    Martin R.

    This is one of my favorite go to restaurants in the city. The food is flavorful, fresh and delicious! My usual dishes are Grandma's Pork Tossed Noodle or the Curry Tofu Noodle Soup, but you can't go wrong here. Overcome your preconceived notions of Asian food. Try it all. The service can be spotty but usually very good. It depends on the crowd and the server. This is a great place for groups and they do serve dishes family style. You just have to tell your friends that aren't familiar with that concept that we all buy several dishes and share. I do have friends that still want to get the mango dish and eat it all themself. I try to get them to realize that with family style they get to try many different dishes. Two thumbs up to this place.

    6 hours Braised Beef Noodle Soup
    M T.

    I came in at the very last minute before they were closing, but they were gracious enough to accommodate. I had the braised beef noodle soup with glass noodle noodles and it was amazing! The service was very prompt and it was a nice chill environment.

    I came here once before to meet a friend after work and had an enjoyable experience so I decided to come back. It's located in the same lot as the farmers market near Chamblee Tucker Rd and Buford Hwy, and there are many others businesses so there is plenty of parking. They do have steps and ramp access to the restaurant which is very convenient for those that can't use the stairs. They also have a patio area if you want to sit outdoors and enjoy the weather. Once you enter, there is a sign that says wait to be seated. I was immediately greeted and I asked if I could sit at the bar and was told I could sit anywhere at the bar. The greeter brought me a dessert, drink, and food menu. The bar faces the kitchen which is open so you can see the workers cooking and the bar stools do not have a back so keep that in mind if you choose to sit at the bar. Axel came over immediately and introduced himself and brought a plate, napkins, chop sticks, and a fork. Their menu is huge! I told Axel I wanted something spicy. He recommended the wontons as an appetizer and schezuen beef noodle so that is exactly what I ordered with a sprite. He brought a water and a Sprite and the fried wontons came out a few minutes after. The friend wontons were good but were not spicy at all, like they advertised. The two sauces that came with them weren't spicy either. The Szechuan beef noodle on the other hand was spicy and had just the right amount of kick. I drunk the broth and then ate some of the noodle and beef and took the rest home. The beef was tender and although the soup was good, I wouldn't order it again. It's only noodles, beef, and green onion in a spicy broth. I missed the egg and vegetables so will definitely order something different with more fixings. The soup did help me feel better because I felt I was getting a cold. There is a robot that they utilize to help serve food and drinks, which I thought was pretty cool. Axel was kind enough to put my food in the container for me. So if you are looking for a restaurant with a variety of Asian food, this is the place to go to.

    Food Terminal Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Food Terminal

    Is there patio seating with heaters available?

    Patios at Chamblee, yes. Heaters, no.

    What items on the menu are halal?

    There is no halal food on the menu

    Do they take reservations?

    They do not. I've used Yelp's waitlist option in the past but it's not always there (maybe only when they're super busy)

    Is there vegan options here? I love the food here but we have a out of town guest who is vegan. Thanks!

    There are vegan options but they are limited to vegetables and rice. Stay away from the yong tofu as it is filled with ground meat mixture or fish paste. The ginger rolling hot plate is a good vegan option.

    Is there anything truly vegetarian (no animal broth or products other than egg or dairy)?

    Well truly vegetarian would be vegan and I don't think they carry anything vegan on their menu

    Is there a to go menu?

    Yes, their To Go menu is a 4-panel folded pamphlet available from any server. The menu lists everything and shows pictures of select items.

    Does Food Terminal offer gluten free options?

    Yes! When you read the Food Terminal Magazine, it will inform you in the top right hand corner what it is, and if it's gluten free

    What's the best meal here?

    Grandma's BBQ Pork with noodles.

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.

The wontons paper is quite thin and soft- not usually how I like it but that's up to preference. The restaurant def has a large variety of foods which is nice. I don't think any other restaurant at Chinatown Market makes them? It's one of the bigger stalls here too. Service takes a while; I think I've waited 15-20+ min for just wontons. If you're here for a while, I think you should give the menu a try. Their main dishes look reasonably priced too.

Having been at least once every couple months for years, it's our Chinese comfort food as dim sum is meant to be. Although I would recommend arriving at anytime they are open, we find the absolute best time for dim sum is to arrive right at opening on Saturday or Sunday. This time lets us beat the wait, get a great table fast, and the food is super plentiful, hot and fresh out of the kitchen. The chrysanthemum tea is a must have and complements the food as a perfect, tasty, and just sweet enough palate cleanser (although I would prefer to add the rock sugar myself to my tea, they serve it with sugar already inside the pot). For the absolute best pairing with your chrysanthemum tea, make sure to save room for the awesome pineapple buns while supplies last. They were out today and we all collectively cried (will be going back just for the pineapple buns soon...we are just not complete without them!). We love all the dishes, but our absolute favorites (outside of the pineapple buns) are the pork spare ribs with black bean, the beef rice rolls/noodles, shrimp dumplings, and turnip cakes. Add some spicy sauce to the spare ribs and turnip cakes to really set them off! For iced coffee lovers who like it really strong, don't pass up on the iced coffee. It has legs that are strong enough to walk, but completely complements the dim sum with a little extra boost to help you enjoy the day. So, I challenge others to find a better dim sum place in Atlanta. That is why Canton House earns my 5th star and looking forward to getting my pineapple buns (really) soon!

Delicious - Egg Rolls: Good, not too oily, a normal egg roll - Spare ribs: Possibly my favorite dish! Tender, not too chewy, good savory sweet flavor. -- Overall, it's not bad but it's nothing to write home about. My favorite item was probably the spare ribs. The rest were standard in my opinion. However, service is fast since it is dimsum, so perfect to eat when hungry! Also great ambiance for big group parties or hangouts!
