Hello Yelpers! Due to time *sneaking a review during work hours* I am afraid I wont be able to give a detailed review, however I will give you enough to say "Ok!!! I see you!!" Building aesthetics: GORGEOUS!!!! Very nice lay out, lighting, music, bar area and dessert area. Menu: the menu is a book. Literally. With photos. Detailed descriptions, but no pricing. You have to wait until you get seated and order your food by writing it out on paper. Like sushi orders. Food: in all fairness my personal expectations have me a sad face. The meat dishes for me weren't inspiring. I stuck with the no meat noodles. Garlic mushroom. It was good... but... I was still hungry. It wasn't filling. I ordered fried wontons.... i bit into one and it had a weird texture with a grissle type of material. It was shrimp and pork...sooo I left that on the table. The chicken satay was good. As was my mimosa. Price: hella expensive! They have to pay for that decor and staff somehow. All in all, it's a nice place, it just wasn't for me. Laterz my friends! read more

Our family arrived on a Sat night at 7 PM. Check-in process was convenient (uses the Yelp waitlist so you can see in real-time how many people are ahead of you). Had to wait 15 minutes for a table. Ordered the Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork. Taste was great and pretty good value for the portion size. Lots of Asians when we were there, so you know the food has got to be authentic. But, lots of non-Asians there as well, so it appeals also to the American crowd. Only negative was our server was way too busy and often had to wait on him. Even though there seemed to be a lot of wait staff, they could use more. Overall, great experience and good food at a reasonable price. They've raised the bar for Asian cuisine and I hope to see more would emulate this place. read more

Amazing food and service. Our server May was great!!! Might be the best spot for Malaysian food in the USA! Highly recommend!

Sunday afternoon and we came to the Food Terminal at the suggestion of 2 members of our group, independent of each other! Located in the "old Zayre's lot" (for you native Atlantans) it is right in front of the City Farmers Market. Parking was very crowded, but we found spaces on the far side of the lot if you don't mind a short walk. We had 6, which can land you between small and large tables but they were able to seat us immediately. The "menu" is really a magazine of food! I am a visual person when it comes to selecting food so this was perfect for me! Leaf through the pages and you will certainly find something for your appetite. I landed on the Penang Prawn Mee, partly because I was interested in trying the noodles (which were highly recommended) and also because it looked and sounded delicious. I was not disappointed! It was a bit on the spicy side, but just right, might need a sip of drink but you aren't downing glasses to put out the fire. Everyone tried something different and all were pleased. Especially heard the crispy Bao were very good. Buns retain some crispiness, not soggy in the steaming process. Service was great, quick, helpful and we even got a few take out items for those at home. They also handled that well. read more

Oh man, this place is my new favorite. The food and service were both impeccable. This place will turn you into a pure glutton.... No lie. Everything was so savory it makes my mouth water just writing this review. We started out with some fried wontons that were served with a sweet and sour sauce (the best way other than chili oil) and they were so crunchy and succulent, great way to start a meal. For drinks I ordered a not going to die sober and all that was in it was vodka (top shelf mind you) and lychee.... Simple and delish!!! Next I couldn't leave this place without trying the bao so we ordered the bulgogi bao.... You want to talk about melt in your mouth! The meat was so tender and sweet, usually I don't like my bulgogi this sweet but this one really hit the spot. The interior has a very hip style and it certainly contributes to a nice date night. Their menu is very creative as well, it looks like a magazine and super cool to flip through. If you are looking for a fun spot with great drinks, nice atmosphere, great service, and delicious food this is the place for you! read more

We came to Atlanta for a short trip, and my 7-year-old was craving something with seafood, this place delivered on selection, taste, and price. Would definitely recommend and would go back. The robot carrying the food was also super interesting, my kids were totally entertained watching it zip around with plates. read more

I had my first visit here for a work lunch. I'm giving this place a 3.5 based on food alone. Service was great, I really liked my waitress she was nice and friendly (didn't catch her name), ambiance was really cool (I've never been anywhere like this). Food was just okay. Perhaps I had high expectations because I have heard people rant and rave about this place! I got the shrimp penang noodles - it was in soup form. Was supposed to be spicy but I should have asked for more spice. I barely got a tickle in my throat while eating it! There were only 3 shrimp and 3 thin slices of fish cake in a bowl filled to the brim with 2 types of noodles. Wayyyyy too many noodles. Again, if I were to come back I'd ask for half noodles. Overall it was a cool experience, probably won't come back there's way better places to eat on Buford, albeit les read more

Food Terminal - Malaysian Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

Food: okay Price: okay Location: great Service: very good Its a 3.5 star for me. I've been here twice. I got the grandma wonton BBQ the first time. The second was Pan mee. Both dishes were okay. There was a distinct lack of flavor in both dishes and I thought for the $9 bucks that I paid was high for the small amount of food I got. I think the problem is they don't specialize in anything. They want to be all things to all people and I'm not sure if that is the way to go. But its a popular place and the location is great so I think they will do well despite the mediocre food. I got great service both times despite being there during peak times....so kudos to them for that.... There are just too many good restaurants on Buford highway for me to settle here. Sorry guys but I think I'll keep moving on to another place..... read more

I was invited to meet friends here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. The menu looks like a magazine - complete with full color pictures and descriptions of all the menu items. Everyone was very pleased with what they ordered. The only issue we had was that we had a large party and they did not keep track of which seat ordered what, so it was very confusing when the food was delivered. The venue is quite large and can accommodate large parties, but this also detracts from hearing the waitstaff when they are calling out drink/food orders. read more

I really enjoyed the meal my friend and I shared here while visiting Atlanta. They have a lot of different menu items centered around the various Asian comfort dishes. The decor was very nice and clean and modern. It wasn't too busy on the evening we visited and we didn't have to wait for a table. We ordered: Curry Fish balls (5/5) Haianese Chicken (3/5) Braised Beef Noodle Soup (3/5) Grandmas Wonton BBQ Pork & Noodles (4/5) Milk Tea (4/5) Green Tea Azuki (4/5) There are so many things I wanted to try and we definitely turned our heads as dishes were being brought out to tables near by us. I am looking forward to coming back and visiting! If you are in Atlanta and love Asian cuisine come check this place out! read more

We've been coming here for years and love it - so much that instead of the usual Christmas dinner we decided to come in for our own "comfort food" on Christmas Day. As always, the food was excellent - we had steamed Szechuan dumplings, sambal okra, grandma's pork noodles, and a bunch of other stuff and it was all amazing. Service is always great but our server May today was wonderful - she was super attentive, had as great smile and made our experience even better! We love Food Terminal and it will continue to be our favorite in town! read more

Very impressive when we walk into the restaurant. During lunch time, the dinning hall is at it capacity. You can see several Malaysian customers who speak in their language. It is true Malaysian restaurant. Food Terminal as the name is excellent. Is like the hawker street food in Malaysia. I love the set up with color menu. Then order from paper. All utensils are neatly displayed on table and proper protected. The menu is very impressive, they have over 100 items to pick. I can see I will return to try them as much as I can. I cannot promise all item is good, but the one is good is very good or great. We have order the first item on the front page and back page. It will not go wrong on this items. The garlic bone marrow noodle soup and 5 spice shrimp roll are the best I have tasted outside of Malaysia. The 5 spice shrimp is just like my mom cooking. Secrete 5 spice which is not share to many since there is many five spice you can buy. The best one always make from Chinese herb store. The shrimp is fried to crispy. Great in flavor. The garlic bone marrow noodle soup is heavenly good. The pork belly is cook to melt at your tongue. Wow that good. You can pick up the marrow and eat. Enough talking. Let move on other dish. We have achat (Malaysian pickle veggies), chicken satay (Malay grilled chicken on stick), cumin lamb, Nasi Lemak with beef Rendang (coconut rice with thick curry beef) and roti with chicken curry. All is good. The satay may be need a big sweet with honey butter on grilling. The Nasi need more heavy coconut flavor. I don't like the lamb. But overall is still impress me. Service is excellent. I might have a good waitress. I like to be close to restroom since I like to eat with hand and able to wash immediately. I cannot bring it back to tampa. You have to come to try your own. It on 6.5 hours. May be not for Pinellas residents. It almost kill them to drive one more hour. read more

Tasty food, and generous portions. This is a perfect venue to share menu items with friends, to take advantage of such a great variety of the dishes. The brisket (6 hours) with noodle was absolutely wonderful, and it was enough for one reasonably hungry person. Nevertheless, it left some room still for some of those samples we had in group, all flavorful. read more

It was Martin Luther King day and I decided to go out and celebrate. This was quite possibly the best tasting meal I've ever had. I started with the First menu item Garlic Bone Marrow Soup with a side of Szechuan to control the heat. I also got an order of Thai Chili ground chicken Cheong fun. The place twelfth is rather cozy and the menu comes in the form of a magazine and everything is described like something you would read on the Food Network. Most with images so you know what you are ordering. A+!! After I placed my order, the food was delivered within 5 minutes. A real surprise, as I expected the crowd to be a little longer. The only downside was that they delivered both dishes together which didint give me time to enjoy the Cheong Fun before the Noodles for the Bone Marrow Soup. The Bone Marrow Soup has been hands down the best tasting noodle bowl I've had in Atlanta so far. I've been to a dozen ramen places and this was amazing. The broth was succulent and savory. It was creamy like described and with the Szechuan sauce in the soup it added a third layer of flavor that brings everything together without over stimulating your tastebuds and numbing it to the point of no taste. Then comes the pork belly included in this soup which is sweet and well prepared. It melts in your mouth and you don't have to even chew. The flavor comes out and your begging for more! The seasoned egg that comes with it also comes full circle as being well prepared and at just the right softness to finish the bowl and all it has to offer. After finishing the soup off I continue to the Cheong Fun Thai Chili Ground Chicken. This was my first. The Thai Chili makes the whole dish, giving a sweet and spicy combination that kicks fully encompasses a balance to the dish. The staff were friendly and willing to help you with the menu. This company is owned by the same group that host Sweethut, so don't forget to grab a treat on your way home if you have enough room for it!!! 5/5 and completely worth eating here again to experience the other dishes. read more

If you are looking for a good Malaysian / Singaporean hawker style foods. Then you are coming to the right place. Nasi lemak is what I always go for in this restaurant. The fragrant of the coconut rice top with some fried chicken and anchovies with their sambal on the side. Yum! Sometimes when I crave for noodle.. I go with their grandma bbq pork noodle or the Thai pan mee. Both equally delish! Oh and don't forget to start up with their cheong fun appetizer or the fried wontons. My mouth is watering as we type this review right now. As for the service, it's okay. Never had any unpleasant service here. Always fast and attentive. This restaurant is big, with a really high ceiling which is always a plus for me. This place definitely good for groups, also not bad to bring your date for a casual lunch or dinner. Lots of table seating and some bar seatings as well. Definitely recommended! Cheers! read more

Pictures and reviews made this place a must try. And for once a place surpassed my expectations. Everything from service to vibe to taste was 100% on point. Everything comes out quickly and hot! The servers are great and have always been helpful the last couple times I've been here. If you're a fan of Asian food this is a must try place. All the variety is great. I would highly recommend grandma's pork. So sweet and savory. The moment the meat touches your mouth you may cry cause it tastes so good. read more

Good Concept, Major Menu Reality Gap I really wanted to like Food Terminal because its menu looks like a great amalgamation of Cantonese diaspora and Malaysian cuisine, but was left disappointed. The biggest single issue was the divergence between what is shown in the menu and what is delivered. Our small plates (fried wontons, five spice shrimp roll, thai chili ground chicken cheong fun) were essentially dim sum classics but with a 50% upcharge. The Thai Chili Ground Chicken Cheong Fun was particularly egregious, since its menu image showed it covered with a thick layer of ground chicken, while we only got a thin streak on ours. This was a similar story for my Yong Tofu Fish Noodle Soup. The menu image showed pork and shrimp packed inside fried, eggplant, mushroom. Yong tofu is something I really love, so I ordered this bowl even though I don't love fish soup. Yet upon getting my bowl, I found that there was just half a teaspoon of pork-shrimp filling in each item--a massive difference from the menu image. The food itself was only okay, possibly 3.5 stars due to some shortfalls in execution (e.g. cooking a soft-boiled egg at the bottom of the pot and creating an off-taste). The service was really good: our server was patient and understanding. But overall, Food Terminal is a poor value that doesn't give customers what they they think they're paying for.

Food Terminal hits home every time. Albeit that I usually only get the Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork Tossed Noodles, it gets me every single time. And yes, I have had others, but none compares unfortunately. For all the first newcomers who seek to enjoy a good meal, you can stop here. Just get the Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork Tossed Noodles. It will not disappoint. read more

I loved their Kari Chicken Noodle Soup. The menu describes it as a Malaysian favorite, and I can certainly understand why. It has a curry noodle base, infused with coconut milk, served in a bed of Food Terminal's signature thin noodles, along with boneless chicken thighs, fish cakes, fried shallot, and a hard-broiled egg. The flavor of the soup was delicious, and everything went together so perfectly. I would for sure order this again and highly recommend it. The Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork is also a popular dish according to the waitress. Our table also shared the Crispy Pig Ear, which was ok, and the Curry Chicken Roti Plate, which I liked. One issue we had was that we ordered the Szechuan Steam Wanton, which never came, even though the waitress read back to us everything that we ordered. It also didn't appear on the check, so they must've forgotten to enter in the order. Also, our table ordered two of the Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork entrees. One of the orders came to our table first. The other took so long we thought they might have forgotten it. Overall though, the food was good and the prices were reasonable. They did automatically charge us gratuity for our table of 6, even though we only ordered 5 entrees because one of the members in our group (a child) was asleep. I almost double tipped until someone in our group pointed that out to me. So watch for that if you go in a large group. read more

The food was really delicious, with so much variety to choose from and decently priced! We ordered the Nasi Lemak Beef Rendang, Curry Laksa Chicken, Roti Plate, and Lamb Skewers. The Lamb Skewers were a little on the dry side and small, I think they would've benefitted by being served with a side of raita or another sauce of that nature. The Roti Canai was Roti with a delicious daal and chicken curry. The Nasi Lemak Beef Rendang was perfect. The Chicken Curry Laksa was very rich, almost too rich for one person and better to share everything all around. The Thai Tea was yummy and very sweet, I think 1/2 sweet would have been more satisfying overall. Our waitress was so friendly, sweet, and helpful! The restaurant has a bit of a modern look to it, with plenty of spacious seating and clean bathrooms. Will definitely be coming back to try the Hainanese Chicken and maybe Sambal Okra :D 10/10 recommend! read more

First and foremost, I love all the dishes and the proportions that it came in. When I first saw it on IG, I knew I had to get there that evening! LOL! I'm not crazy about the rush of people and how slow service is, but if you're willing to overlook all of that, it's worth trying it out. I actually went back 2 times afterwards within the same month. What I can't overlook is this piece of egg shell that's in my child's entree. She could have choked up on it. How can the chef and server even bring us such a dish when it's out in the open that the egg shell did not belong there? When I tried communicating with the restaurant about this, no one had responded back to me. Hence, why it lost 2 stars. No matter how good the foods are to me, customer service is always #1 on my list and each time that I went, the lack of customer service was always consistent. read more

The variety is amazing and the starters are peculiarly odd yet adventurous in a way that makes you comfortably curious. Having lived in Hong Kong I was familiar enough with the u detouring concept of the food, but it was still done in a way that was pleasantly surprising. We had a large group so we ate almost all of the starters, then we moved onto a mixed bag of main courses and shared those too. Don't try to find the best thing for you, just close your eyes, flip a page, and put a finger down. I call it menu roulette and it's the most fun way for me to pick a dish! Be daring - this is the place to do it! read more

I came here with a couple of friends for dinner on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy inside but not enough to where we had to wait for a table. We all sat down and looked at their expansive menu. While waiting, we all got drinks. My boyfriend got the Thai tea drink with alcohol, unsure what it was called. The drinks were very different than most offerings, so it was nice to see their twist on some classic drinks! I just got the Hong Kong tea, which was a nice, sweet but not too sweet drink. We decided to get some vegetables, sliders and the cheung fun with pork. Can't complain about any of it, I liked it all. I ordered and really enjoyed the braised beef noodles. Tender beef with noodles and bok choy. My daughter is a really picky eater but she ate some of my food with me, which is a plus! My boyfriend and another person got some type of curry noodles, I can't remember the name of it, but they thoroughly enjoyed it. My boyfriend said "this is the type of curry noodle dish I've been looking for since that one place shut down back at home like 5 years ago!" My friend got the Hainanese chicken. She liked it! I tried some of the rice- it was really fragrant, cooked in chicken broth. At the end, we ordered a mango dessert and liked that as well! The menu is expansive and can be overwhelming but if you come with a group, it's nice to have others to try and taste a little bit of everything on the menu. I like coming here cause there's so much to choose from and a lot of space. Will definitely be back for more. read more

Worth the drive! Atlanta's Buford Highway special was the driving factor for us, and we were not disappointed. So let's break it down... flavor, spice, and there's something for everyone... We started with the roti canai with beef rendeng, szechuan wontons, and the cheon fung chili ground chicken...the dishes come pretty quick, so you have to promptly dig in, but that wasn't hard. The roti was flaky and the beef packed with flavor, the wontons were little pillows of pork and shrimp, and the cheong fun had this delightful sauce with chili and hints of fish sauce. We then went to mains, and of course had to have hainanese chicken... I could eat the rice all day long. The herbal spare rib pot was soothing, and well balanced with notes of sour, spicy, and savory. The nyonya shrimp was also delightful, sitting on a refreshing bed of shredded cucumbers. The best part is that when we come back next time, there are so many more dishes to try, and with the quality of flavor that we have already tasted, I can't wait for our next visit! read more

Food Terminal is latest creation from the people that brought you Sweet Hut. It's Asian fusion cuisine! The restaurant is very spacious with high ceilings and industrial interior look with modern Chinese decorations. They get a good grade for the effort they put into making the places look hip and modern. Lighting is perfect. The table arrangements are spaced well and they can accommodate a large number of guests. The staff is very friendly and large. You can tell with the open kitchen exposure just how big this operation is. They have an army handing all the different aspects of the restaurant. The menu is diverse with all their options which you can check off on a list they offer. They serve a lot of traditional dishes with some fusion elements to it. The menu can be found on their website but it would take more than one visit to get through all of it for sure. The food itself has lots of flavor and is very tasty. Overall, Food Terminal impresses not just in looks but also presentation and experience. You'll forget you're in Chamblee for a moment when eating here and think you might be downtown or somewhere a bit more upscale. There's a restaurant revival happening on Buford Hwy and Food Terminal is a prime example of this. read more

The team behind Top Spice and Sweet Hut have done it again. After opening just a couple months ago (February 2017), Food Terminal has already established itself as one of the pillars of Buford Highway. Not only that, but they've elbowed their way to the big boys table and now sit among the most popular restaurants in metro Atlanta. After several visits, I'm a big fan. It's hard to ignore the hype surrounding this place. It's hot, it's new, and it's not uncommon to see crowds of people waiting at the entrance. Once you look past all the buzz, what you'll find is a fun casual restaurant with good authentic food and great service. Food Terminal serves Asian street food with a focus on Malaysian cuisine (Amy Wong, the owner and leader of this successful empire, is from Malaysia). The restaurant sits in a brand new building in the City Farmers Market shopping plaza on Buford Highway between Chamblee Tucker Road and I-285. The restaurant is spacious with seating for well over 100 guests, perhaps pushing 200 factoring in the bar and outdoor patio. The restaurant design is beautiful. The space is bright, airy, clean, modern, and picturesque. It evokes the feeling of eating street food underneath the glow of big city lights in Asia. There's an open kitchen. Seeing and hearing the hustle and bustle of the workers adds to the restaurant's energetic atmosphere. The dining room is partitioned into multiple sections, some of which you can reserve for semi-private group events. I've dined with parties large (~40) and small (4) and Food Terminal's versatile space and adequate staff have handled both well. The menu is huge and unique. It resembles a thick, fancy, glossy magazine filled with nothing but colorful spreads of Food Terminal's dishes. It can be overwhelming, especially if it's your first time. In the end, there aren't really *that* many selections. There are several variations of the same items and the photos take up a lot of space. The photos are actually quite helpful when trying to decide what to order. The menu has already gone through at least one revision since the restaurant's opening. Last I was told, the business is committed to reprinting the menu once every couple months. Food Terminal offers noodle soups, (wok) tossed and garlic noodles, yong tofu, rice dishes, "rolling hot plates," small plates, cheong fun, roti plates, steamed vegetables, skewers, crispy bao, shareable large plates, desserts, and drinks including beer. Prices are reasonable with small plates ranging from about $4 to $8 each and most larger plates about $9 to $17 each. I've tried many dishes. In general, I think the food has been consistently OK to very good. I haven't had a single bad dish and I haven't had a single amazing "gotta have it" dish either. I don't think you can go wrong with most of the selections. Top Recommendations: * Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork Tossed Noodles ($9.50) * Pan Mee Tossed Noodles ($8.50) * Nasi Lemak Fried Kari Chicken ($9.95) * Crispy Pig Ears ($4.50) * Yum Yum Wings (6 for $4.95) * Roti Curry Chicken ($5.95) * Peanut Satay Chicken (4 for $8) * Crispy Pork Belly Bao ($4.95) * Mango and Sticky Rice Food Terminal makes their own noodles in-house. The Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork noodles are probably one of the restaurant's best selling items. The Pan Mee may not look like much, but the wide rice noodles are delicious. The Nasi Lemak is a well rounded, comforting entree. The Pig Ears are an ideal shareable app. The sauce on the Yum Yum Wings I had was made with salted egg yolk. Both the Roti and the Satay Chicken are terrific. The Pork Belly Bao is meaty, flavorful, and fantastic. OK to Good (in no particular order): * 6 Hours Braised Beef Noodle Soup ($10.50) * Yong Tofu Curry Soup with Tossed Noodle ($12.95) * Hainanese Chicken Rice ($9.25) * 6 Hours Braised Beef Rice ($9.50) * Salted Goji Herb Chicken Rice ($9.25) * Cheese 'N Cheese Rolling Hot Plate ($10.95) * Cheong Fun Curry Fish Ball ($4.50) * Roti Beef Rendang ($6.95) * Roti Curry Spare Ribs ($5.95) * Watercress with Black Bean Sauce ($5.50) * Thai Chili Eggplant ($5.95) * Sea Salt Beef Tongue Skewers (2 for $4) * Peanut Satay Beef (4 for $8) The 6 Hours Braised Beef is tough, savory, and filling. Lots of flavor. If you want to try something rare in Atlanta, but common in Southeast Asia, order the Yong Tofu (tofu, meat, seafood). I think the Salted Goji Herb and Hainanese Chicken Dishes are OK. The Cheese 'N Cheese and other rolling hot plates are kind of like Korean stone bowl bibimbap where the rice and other ingredients are mixed and continue to cook at your table. Cheong Fun are the soft rice noodle rolls served at dim sum. The Watercress and Eggplant are fresh and tasty. The only item I don't recommend is the Beef Tongue (bland). This place is staffed to handle the demand. Thank you to Amy, Bree, Tammy, Rachel, Tao, Jane, Natalie, Van, and the rest of the Food Terminal crew for their excellent service and outstanding hospitality! read more

Located Northeast of downtown Atlanta in the predominately asian corridor this new restaurant really brings the their A game. The overall appeal and interior design is a fun, hip, modern, design that provides great Malaysian & Asian food. As mentioned the design is fresh and spacious with colors that pop and provides open and partitioned seating for any size of groups along with kids (my nephews loved it). Once your seated your presented magazine and first thing you ask, 'what's this?' but you immediately see its their menu. As you leaf through it they do a wonderful job of walking you the journey of high quality picturesque food options. It seems at first overwhelming but you quickly figure it out. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and this menu does just that. Prices vary from dish to dish but all very from good value for the buck. I'd say smaller plates sub $8 while the larger options are sub $20. Now to the food options I would recommend the following: Roti & Peanut satay chicken, Hainanese chicken & rice, Kari chicken noodle soup, Bone marrow shrimp. If you have kids my nephews ate every bite of their cheese n' cheese dish which is a rice dish which as the name says has cheese, but mixed in with an assortment of vegetables and proteins. Oh and includes one of favorites Spam! It was fun watching them mow that s...t down like cats chowing down on catnip. If you're an out of towner like me or a local, I can in good faith recommend this place to anyone. read more

We went there on a weekday afternoon, and got seated immediately. The menu is very explanatory with huge picture on every page. All the foods' and drinks' picture look amazingly good. After reading all the reviews online, I wanted to order the grandma bbq pork with egg noodles but I changed my mind and got the hainanese chicken instead. The chicken was tender. It had bones in it; I had no problem with it. The sauce is soy based, a little fatty because there was a layer of oil on top of the sauce. The food comes with two sauces on the side; they are minced garlic in oil and sweet chili ginger sauce (not spicy). Overall, it was a great meal. My hubby got the grandma bbq pork noodles dish and he said it was good. I tried a piece of pork and it was flavorful, a bit too dried. I will definitely be back and try other foods on the menu read more

This place is so awesome. I really liked the ambiance of place. It is an Malaysian cuisine and Asian street food served in a bustling, modern space decked out in grays and neon. This one is located on Buford Highway which is getting an popular Malaysian restaurant courtesy of the team behind mega-popular the Sweet Hut Bakery chain, taking inspiration for savory, spicy food from Southeast Asian street fare and food halls (satay, noodles, curries and more) and serving it in a sleek, bustling space with an open floor plan, chic neon lighting and a young, enthusiastic service staff. The overall experience just brought it all together. Convenient location, great looking building, the interior is modern looking and very inviting. For a dining restaurant it has such a cafe vibe. The menu was amazing but that comes with a couple of caveats. The menu is a gorgeous full color magazine like design with pictures of every dish and drink they offer. The downside is it is like 50+ pages making it hard to pick out what you really want. So, after you spend 30 minutes figuring out what you want you'll be glad to know the prices are fairly low meaning you can order numerous items and not break the bank. Most portions are reasonably small so order a few things and try stuff out or order the large portions, usually the more expensive stuff and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy fellow foodie mates. We were with a group and have tried more than a dozen from their menu. To name some Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork Tossed Noodles; Pan Mee Tossed Noodles; Nasi Lemak Fried Kari Chicken; Crispy Pig Ears; Yum Yum Wings; Roti Curry Chicken; Peanut Satay Chicken; Crispy Pork Belly Bao; Mango and Sticky Rice; Roti Beef Rendang; Roti Curry Spare Ribs. Everything were yummy to taste. This place is well staffed, very friendly and prompt at the service. I would highly recommend to try at least once and you will not be disappointed. I would be definitely going back to try more stuff from their awesome menu. They have ample free parking in the plaza and in front of the restaurant. read more

Highlight: I love that the new foodie trend is Singaporean, Indonesian, and SE Asian food because that's my background and I grew up eating hainanese chicken rice, fish ball noodles, kwayteow, which are slowly making their way into mainstream food. I feel Korean food and other Asian cuisines have comfortably introduced themselves and even now have fusion places due to their plateau but the rich cultures of Malaysia, Indonesia, SE Chinese islands, India, and even phillipines are being showcased for people to enjoy globally. Food terminal has turned foods that are popular in hawker and markets into a trendy and upscale setting. The blue black and yellow neon bar setting lends a hip and young trend to the "street" foods that I've grown up seeing selling in humble stalls for 2-6$ a bowl. What we ordered 1. Ipoh noodle soup - I liked this broth better over the Yong towfu. It had a sweeter and shrimp like taste. The noodles were glass noodles- careful the noodles will get soggy if not consumed fast enough. Ipoh noodle soup is supposed to be a comfortable shrimp broth noodle soup. I think it still serves its purpose and gives an idea, but again the flavor wasn't strong enough- can't blame food terminal- it is a large restaurant so they probably mass made the food and it's hard to keep the flavors more flavorful compared to a small stall in a market place. 2. Yong towfu soup - this is supposed to be a fried tofu stuffed with ground pork and shrimp. Imagine dim sum in a noodle soup- I thought the broth was too salty. Noodles were a little rubbery and plain but the tofu itself gave you an idea of what the dish should taste like- I think thy could make the Yong tofu more flavorful, broth less salty, and chosen a different noodle- like a wonton mee kinda noodle. 3. Roti canai- this is probs the best out of all the dishes we tried here. Roti, in this case means bread. It is different from other flat breads out there in that it should be chewy, mildly sweet, flaky, and it should feel more doughy and fried rather than the fluffy bread feeling that naan has. Roti tastes best in curry in my opinion. In Singapore, they pour the curry into small plastic bags and twist and tie with red rubber bands so you got a small bubble of curry. They served it with this curry Dal dish here that was a tad too salty- since it was a dal dish, it didn't run and wasn't gravy enough to dip. It was too salty to be a stand alone dish so definitely needed to be dipped into. The roti itself was good- wished they had stuck to chicken curry. I would come back and try out the other Singaporean favorites: hainanese chicken, bang mee, kway teow, and maybe a couple more dishes before I give a final verdict but for now, it's a 4- I like it and I'm supportive but wish the flavors were more concentrated and flavorful - I'm glad someone's finally making Singaporean and Malaysian food trendy and hip for all to try read more

This was our third time going to Food Terminal. I literally just got home (today is the 27th of September- we arrived at 8pm and stayed for 2 hours because we ordered A LOT of food. We had a really attentive and kind waiter and server. Both were male. The man that brought the food has really beautiful hair (in locks). The other gentleman that took our orders was also lovely. I wish I had gotten their names. They were great and took care of the section in the far back of the restaurant against the wall in the corner. We ordered like 12 items and he was so kind to make sure we ordered things according to our dietary restrictions. I would go again if he can be our waiter. We were outside a while after our meal and every employee said hi and thank you as their shift ended. I really appreciate how kind everyone was. As for the food - it was delicious as always. We had two Thai Iced Teas, 2 Georgia on my mind (I think that's the name), chicken Kari mee noodle bowl, fish, fish balls, rendang, and a huge shrimp dish that came with a mother load of rice, ginger soda and a partridge in a pear tree. We took a lot of food home because we want to eat this over the weekend. I loved it. It's one of our favourite places to go. I am tall and have wide hips and can't sit in the tiny chairs so we moved to the wall seating and that was much more comfortable. They need to change those chairs. I saw a lot of tall people uncomfortable in them. They are not wide enough for all the different types of people that come there. Other than that it's a perfect place with real Asian food...and an international crowd. We felt welcomed. It's a great place to enjoy Asian cuisine and diverse culture. If the United Nations wanted to build a branch on Buford Highway (and they should) they need to put it right next door because the ambience and environment is so nice!! Thank you, Food Terminal staff! read more

Not your typical Buford Highway restaurant! Although I'm no Buford Highway expert, ( ...yet) this large, modern and neon light themed eatery is far away from a hole in the wall. I visited Friday PM around 7pm after a killer workout, looking forward to nothing more than eating a great meal and food terminal did not disappoint. The menu is borderline a magazine catalog with lots of options and pictures to explain their offerings. For a Friday evening , there was little to no wait and the food came within 10 mins of placing our order. I settled on: TN01 - Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork A Malaysian favorite! Enough said #YumYum SP03 - Szechuan Steam Wontons Served as an order of 8. Admittedly could not finish them all, even considering I shared them with my husband. The food is brought out in order of what's ready first, so by time the Wontons came to my table I was full steam ahead into the BBQ Pork. The chili oil on the bottom of the dish the Wontons were served in felt heavy. Not sure if I would order again. DK10 - Ginger Black Tea If more restaurant had more crafty beverages like these, I probably would be willing to give up alcohol lol. This drink was fun and tasty, and I can't wait to try some of the others ! read more

Menu is huge and lots of option, food was good, and the robot was a neat feature. Check it out.

This place lived up to the hype! Great addition to the Buford Highway line-up! The spot is easy to get to with a large parking lot. The space is large and trendy, with great looking indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is extensive and impressive with its magazine-like appearance. Drink options start on page 45, and they have lots of interesting and refreshing drinks from which to choose. I went with a virgin mojito soda, and it was fantastic. Next time, I am eager to try either the ginger or lemongrass sodas. There was so much food from which to choose, my friends and I made up a rule to help us narrow our choices - one item from each page! We started with the Szechuan wontons. They were excellent, covered in a thin, spicy and tangy sauce. The rice wine vinegar was the winner of this tasty dish. We also had the beef rendang. Superb. The beef was tender and bursting with complex flavors - a little heat with a touch of sweetness. One of my favorites. We also tried the crispy bao, and it was the bread that made these bites truly unique. They had a sweetness, too, that was really nice. We also tried a chicken curry and a thai noodle - both were excellent. I am already excited to go back and try some things I did not get to enjoy this time around. This is definitely a spot that you will want to visit with friends so that you can enjoy bites of numerous dishes. It seems that they would be well suited for large parties. We didn't have room for dessert on this visit, but we will come back for it soon! read more

I came here for lunch on a Saturday and it was packed but we were seated right away. The menu is a glossy magazine filled with pictures and endless options. I'm really glad there were pics b/c it made it easier to see what we were ordering. Food: Chicken Curry Roti: Good appetizer, small portion - just 1 roti and 1 scoop of two diff types of curry (comes out in a lunch tray plate) Shrimp egg roll: Although I'm not really a fan of fried foods, this was really yummy. It comes with a sweet, red sauce. Wonton Mee soup: Noodles were good, not too soft, not too firm. Broth was kinda bland but not bad. Garlic Bone Marrow Noodle Soup: Bf approved. Although the poached egg wasn't really poached well. Dessert: Sticky Rice with Mango: 5 stars. Loved it. read more

You can find Food Terminal at 5000 Buford Hwy NE, Ste B201, Chamblee, GA 30341- this is a building in the front of the City Farmers Market lot (the market across from Halal Guys but a bit further north on BufHy). There's plenty of parking out front, to the side or in the shopping center lot. Much has been said about Food Terminal so I'll try to keep this as brief as possible - I've now eaten here twice and love this place. Whoever did the design work did a stunning job - there's an Asian chic to the place that's totally enhanced by the industrial vibe, with plenty of wood finishes and classy touches all around. The interior reminds me a bit of Cafe Alon at Perimeter - expansive spaces with just enough detail to direct your eye to the immediate space. As you walk in the host station is in front with a dessert counter to the right - the right-hand counter extends to an open kitchen. Dining is in the areas behind (there's also a fairly large patio that I can see myself visiting often). Some of my friends have already reviewed the various dishes and many of the comments I've heard have been "well this was OK but it's better at "x" - which I find interesting. My own experience has been that while I've had better of some of these dishes, the magnitude off the offering at Food Terminal is overwhelming. The menu is designed as a glossy print magazine complete with Table of Contents and plenty of photos - once again a stunning design. Food Terminal is noted as a Malaysian Street Food restaurant and the various styles of cooking is amazing - there's a touch of Thai, a pinch of Chinese and even a bit of Japanese (and of course the Malaysian). You just won't find this variety anywhere else and that by itself makes it worth visiting. I've now eaten here twice, first with fellow Yelper Michelle T and about a week later with Yelper John F (who also leads an awesome BufHy Restaurant Crawl - now in it's second round). Once you've picked some items you fill out a sheet much like you would at a sushi bar. Here's a rundown of what I've tried and some general comments. Appetizers: * Thai Tea - it's the real-deal here and not that premixed crap. * Five Spice Shrimp Roll - first bite not impressed but they grow on you * Crispy Pig Ear - surprisingly delicious and melt-in-your-mouth * Szechuan Steam Wonton - love these * Crispy Curry Wings - not impressed * Thai Chili Ground Pork Cheong Fun - delicious Veggies: * Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce - quite good * Sambal Okra - these are amazing - the best in the veggie category I've tried * XO Asparagus - disappointing Entrees: * Tom Yum Rolling Hot Plate - similar to the Korean Bokkeum Bap served on a hot plate - good and you'll taste the lemon grass, but a little lacking in flavor * Grandma BBQ Pork - delicious sweet-glazed pork bits * 5 Spice Pork Belly - very filling but could have used something spicy (order a side of sriracha to fix that) * Szechuan Beef Noodle Soup - This was good but a little disappointing - the broth wasn't very robust (but that may be me comparing it to all the great Ramen available in town). Dessert: * Mango Fever - Mango Puree, Mango Ice Cream, Diced Mango and Sago - I wasn't sure what sago was so I looked it up - it's the starch extracted from palm stems - think of these as mini-tapioca balls. Loved this dessert and it's easily shared by 2 people. The service both times was exceptional - with all the experience the restaurant owners have with Top Spice and Sweet Hut, they certainly know how to take care of diners. It's fast, friendly, efficient and the servers know the food so they can make recommendations. All around my experiences have been great. Cost per person (2 apps, 2 veggies, entree, specialty drink) was around $30 but you certainly don't need to go that far to get full - we just wanted to try everything!

Food Terminal is one of the best things to happen to Buford Highway! It's huge, can accommodate large amounts of people, and has an awesome selection of food! I can't wait to visit their new West Midtown location soon. Their menu can fulfill any type of food craving you are having. I love that they have a picture-book menu that has images of all of their items. Some of my favorite entrees include the Thai Chili Pan Mee (without anchovies) and Szechuan Beef Soup. You cannot leave here without trying their roti!! It's a great item to share with others - it's served fresh, warm, and perfectly crispy. read more
