Another great place to stop for a quick bite on Buford Highway! I had read several reviews and have seen one of Gu's other restaurants at Krog so I knew I had to try the dumplings. I also had Ponko (down the road) on my brain, but knew I should try something new. So, I ordered to-go the half order of Zhong pork dumplings and was quoted 12 minutes. There is plenty of parking. Beware as depending on your direction you can see signage from the road before the actual lot for the front of the store that will bring you to the back, so if using GPS follow it :) It was a weekday lunch stop and there were tons of spaces taken but I was able to grab one on my first loop. Inside it's fairly small (more of a "takeout") feel with register being the first thing you see when you come in the door. The cashier was super sweet and my order was ready when I arrived. The dumplings were incredible. They melted in my mouth and the pork was nice and tender. The standout of course was the Zhong sauce which they sell in a bottle. Sweet and spicy (almost a spicy teriyaki sauce) with crushed peppers and spices. Garnished with sesame seeds and green onions. The heat level was pretty mild even with the peppers. $8 and some change after tax. I would definitely come back and possibly try something else...but with intention of getting those delicious dumplings again. read more

I wanted to try something new and I remembered this place last time I was in the plaza so I decided to check them out. It's not your typical restaurant where you sit down and order. The menus are by the door when you enter as well as above the register. You stand in line and place your order at the cashier and then I believe they give you a number for your table and then you sit down. Not completely sure bc I ordered to go but I'm pretty sure that's how the process worked. I got there at the right time bc after I placed my order the line just kept growing. I ordered the spicy dried eggplant stir fry and fried spring rolls. I sat down and waited about 15 minutes, got my food and left. The eggplant was a pretty large portion size, way more than I could eat but the flavor profile was nice and it had the right amount of heat. The spring rolls were overwhelming bc they were tiny and I couldn't taste much filling other than the cabbage. I wish the eggplant came in a smaller portion size bc I would def get that again but I could do without the spring rolls. read more

I love the Dan Dan noodles here, seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of spice. I'm afraid the quality of the dumplings has gone down tho. I remember them being soft and melt in your mouth. This time the chicken dumplings were a bit stiff and not as flavorful. The vegetable dumplings here are a bit better than any of the meat filled ones. Can't go wrong with the noodles tho and the food overall is pretty good. read more

I ordered 2 servings of Dan Dan Noodles from Gu's Kitchen through Uber Eats. I received lightly-flavored noodles with a sprinkling of ground meat and scallions. I was disappointed to receive what was mostly noodles for a dish that cost over $15. At most there was a tablespoon of ground beef. Really poor value. read more

I absolutely love spicy food, so I was excited to try this place. Gu's Kitchen has a varied menu and I've tried the Szechuan spicy fried rice, dumplings, Chengdu Cold Noodles, chicken po'boy, and chicken hotpot noodles. My favorites were Szechuan spicy fried rice and the dumplings. Everything else was average. There were definitely kicks to the dishes, but the spiciness just wasn't flavorful. read more

Gu’s Kitchen - So this is just peppers. Pretty much inedible. Why is this acceptable? - Szechuan Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

First walked in, and my sister had already been here before, so she knew it was an order-first-at-the-counter situation. For some reason the cashier was also seating people with menus, and then the people would have to come back up and wait in line to order haha. Newsflash: They don't have the lotus root chips!!!!! So sad. I like how crispy they are. For the table we ordered the Chengdu Cold Noodles, Pork Dumplings (Zhong style), Veggie Dumplings (Zhong Style), Stir Fried String Beans, Szechuan Popcorn Chicken and Spring Rolls. I liked every item except for the Popcorn Chicken. In pictures I saw there was tons of the chili flakes on top of the chicken, but mine had zero. Maybe they changed the recipe? Overall, they were dry and not something I would order again. The dumplings here are AMAZEBALLS. This is my favorite dish here. I highly recommend it. I haven't tried the Hot&Sour style, and I couldn't really find any pictures to see what it looked like, but I am curious to try them. The String Beans were great, and the Spring Rolls were good as well. Those two items are pretty basic items, so they would be good anywhere really. Portions are really good, but this place is a little pricey for Doraville. I feel like these prices would be okay in Buckhead or Midtown or somewhere hipster-ish. Our whole meal cost $70 with tip. It was enough for two people with leftovers for the next day. I will definitely be back because I loveeeee those dumplings and would possibly bathe in that sauce if I could. read more

We ordered 5 dishes from gu's, which came out to about $85 dollars after tax/tip/delivery via DoorDash. While we initially thought that it was a lot of money, the portion sizes easily equated to about 6 meals. The fried eggplant had a salty hit with a lovely garlic herb topping. The green beans were well cooked with a bit of bite. The other dishes, however were good but not stand-out; while they weren't bad, the chicken/mapo tofu/pork dumplings did not have anything characteristically "wow" or unique beyond other Szechuan restaurants. read more

We went there on Sunday evening after moving here. The cashier was nice and very helpful. She explained how the restaurant works and showed us the menu as well as their specialty. We decided to order the garlic chicken and lamb stir fry (I forgot the name.) However, the food didn't come with rice. We also got the pork dumplings (6) The dumplings was steaming hot and spicy. The lamb was tennnnderrrrrr and flavorful. Garlic chicken was really good. The total came out about $50 and some changes. Quite pricey for two people. I didn't expect it. But the food portion was huge. One single dish could easily good enough for two. read more

I've been to this location multiple times and it's my favorite Chinese place in Atlanta by far. I've had: Curry Fried Rice - ok, could have more curry/spice Szechwan Fried Rice - Super spicy ! Could've had bigger chicken cubes but solid Popcorn Chicken - delicious fried chicken strips with great dipping sauce Dumplings - I've had both sauces and the house is by far my favorite. Beef Noodles - fantastic dish but wish it had slices of beef versus ground beef Lamb special - very tasty with unique flavors Hot Pot noodles - extremely(numb) spicy and temperature hot, big favorite of mine. Qongching Spicy Chicken - good flavor, but littered with inedible peppers so you're mostly picking at the dish. Chicken Wontons with chili oil - this is my personal favorite. Sauce is perfect blend of spice and flavor. I really want to try the Tea-Smoked duck next time ! Great place, service, prices. Will recommend you any Atlanta visitor or native. read more

Gu’s Kitchen - Beef Noodle - Szechuan Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

I was really excited when a Gu's kitchen opens on Buford Hwy. I really like their dumplings. It is so flavorful and addicting. I've had both pork and chicken and I prefer the pork dumplings. My chicken dumplings filling were kind of dry. The Chengdu cold noodles are amazing! It's super flavorful and delicious. I was NOT a fan of the Szechuan potato. The flavor did not work for me. It was just too plain. Nothing special. I came here several times with my friends. Dan Dan noodles are good. The spicy fried rice is extremely spicy so beware. It's no joke. I couldn't handle it. Even my best friend who can eat super spicy food said that it was spicy for her. Service was good every time I came in. You order up front, sit down and they will bring food to you. Plenty of parking. It is located in the same plaza as Pho Bac, J Mini Hot Pot and Mist. read more

Gu's Kitchen is a fast casual, Chinese restaurant inside the Orient Center Shopping Plaza. Gu's Kitchen took over the same building that used to be Coco's Chinese Restaurant, which was a Cantonese style restaurant. Before that, it was still called Coco's, but it was Fuzhou style restaurant. Before that, it was called Wan Lai's, that served pretty good Korean-Chinese style Jja Jja Myun. Anyways, Gu's Kitchen is from the same people that brought you Gu's Dumplings and the old Gu's Bistro. They are Szechuan cuisine. I thought it was odd that they were going for a fast-casual style, instead of the traditional wait-staff. I mean, it's not unheard of. There is another Szechuan style, fast-casual place not too far from here: Chong Qing Hot Pot in the Chinatown Food Court. However, it's still odd because it's hard to do family style at a fast-casual Chinese place. Dividing up costs among people gets a bit more tricky. The place is small. I went with a large group for Daniel B's UYE, and we took over the entire place. I remember Coco's and Wan Lai having extra space in the back. I don't know if that area exists anymore. Maybe it's all kitchen back there. I got to try a variety of dishes here. In addition to their main menu, they do have some specials. When we came, they had the old Gu's Bistro favorites: Tea Smoked Duck. They also had Sichuan favorites like Double Cooked Pork, Lamb with Cilantro, and others. I'm quite familiar with Gu's Tea Smoked Duck from the old days. It was my favorite. It's supposed to be a nice, succulent duck with great, smokey, tea flavor. However, this version fell short. The duck wasn't juicy, it was mostly dry. The tea flavor was still there at least. The Lamb with Cilantro was good. However, it was more cilantro than lamb. It should've been called Cilantro with Lamb. The Zhong Style dumplings were good. I got it with Pork. You can also get it veggie or with chicken. The dumplings were more sweet than spicy. That's okay. Although, I wished they could've been a bit more umami as well. So more umami, sweet, and spicy--instead of just sweet and spicy. I'm just nitpicking here. And maybe adding something like that would not make it Vegetarian. They're a good dish to get on its own. The Spicy Dried Eggplant was good as always. The eggplant was nice and crispy. You should definitely try this. The popcorn chicken was a disappointment. It had a TON of Chili flakes. But I don't know if that added much flavor. The meat was also white meat, which is fine. But it did make them a bit dry. You can get it with either ketchup, honey mustard, or spicy mayo. That helped with the flavors. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this dish. The hand-made, sweet and spicy thick noodles were my favorite. I'm a sucker for hand-made noodles. It was fat, juicy noodles covered in the a sweet and spicy chili oil. Maybe it was the same oil as the Zhong Style Dumplings. I liked it. I also tried their infamous Szechuan Spicy Fried Rice. They asked if I want the full, 4 pepper version. Yep. This was supposed to be the spiciest thing on their menu.Was it spicy? Yes it was. I could handle it, but some people might not. Did I like it? Yeah, it was a decent fried rice. But since it's so spicy, I suggest lowering the spice levels to 2-3. I did try their regular fried rice. It had pork belly. It tasted great. I would actually prefer this over their spicy version. One of their other specials was Shrimp and Walnuts, which is not Sichuan. It's more Cantonese. It came with honey dew melon balls, fried shrimp, and fried walnuts. It was weird to see this super-sweet, Cantonese dish here. But hey, they did it well. The shrimp and walnuts were crunchy and sweet. It's a good candy dish. Maybe it's a tribute to Coco's? The food comes out fast. I was surprised how fast the food came out. They must have a well-oiled (sweet and spicy oiled) machine back there in the kitchen. I'm not sure if it's because it was a fast-casual place. But the portions seemed a bit small. I think for 2 hungry people, you can probably eat 3-4 dishes. And I suggest you order as much as possible. It's always good to get a variety of Sichuan food from dry to oily to non-spicy. Also, my frugal, Asian gene died a bit when I saw they charged for white rice. It was $1.50 for a bowl of rice. I wish I tried more of their menu like their Mapo Tofu, Dan Dan noodles, or Spicy Crispy Fish. They also didn't have other Sichuan favorites like Fish in Chili oil. Maybe next time. Honestly, I don't know if they had the same magic as Gu's Bistro from back in the day. It is a nice addition though, and I'm glad they're back in Buford Hwy. But they have quite the competition since so many mala, Sichuan places opened up around town. read more

Szechuan restaurant off of Buford Highway that serves a mixture of noodles, dumplings, stir-fry dishes, and po'boy sandwiches. You'll find your Szechuan staples, such as Dan Dan Noodles and Ma Po Tofu, along with items like the "Szechuan Chicken Po'Boy". Food is ordered at the register at the front of the restaurant and is brought to your table. Dining room is medium sized and can probably seat one large group, but not much more than that. Location and Parking: Gu's Kitchen is located just south of Chamblee Tucker Road on Buford Highway. In the same plaza are Harmony Vegetarian, 90 Kabob, and Mist Poke Bar - if you need landmarks. The parking lot is very large. You won't have any trouble finding a parking space. Food: Dumplings, Half Order ($7) - The half order of dumplings comes with 6 pieces. The dumplings overall are very flat, with a firm exterior. They could be filled a little more, but the filling is mostly meat without too much filler. The filling isn't very seasoned, so the sauce is a must. That being said, the dumpling sauce is very delicious - one of the better ones I've had at restaurants. The sauce is sweet with a bit of spice. Szechuan Spicy Fried Rice ($11) - Food items on Gu's Kitchen's menu range from one to four chili peppers. The spicy fried rice is a 4. I asked the server to make it a "3" instead. At this lower spiciness level, the fried rice is very spicy. I needed a lot of water to finish the dish. There isn't a lot of numbing spice in this dish. Aside from the spice, I would have wanted more of the cabbage, green onions, and scrambled eggs. The chicken is diced into small pieces and very juicy as advertised, but I also thought it could benefit from more seasoning. Service: Impressive, considering how busy the restaurant was on the day I went. With a full dining room, my order of dumplings came out within minutes after I sat down. My fried rice dish followed not too long after. Servers were polite and my water was refilled throughout the night. The cashier who took my order was accommodating when she customized my order. Verdict: I think the dumplings are average, but the dumpling sauce is definitely a hit. The fried rice will bring heat to those even with high spice tolerance. Worth a try if you're looking for a new Szechuan restaurant to check out. read more

I was in Atlanta for vacation and met a friend for dinner. Since I love Asian food, she recommend this place. When I saw the handmade noodles on the menu, I knew I had to check this place out. I ordered the handmade sweet and spicy thick noodles. It came with their house-made sweet sauce and chili oil. The dish was topped off with toasted sesame seeds. The noodles were wonderfully thick and chewy. The spice really sneaks up on you. It's relatively mild at first, but it really ratchets up the closer you get to the bottom. I really enjoyed eating here and would recommend checking them out! read more

I've always wanted to try Gu's Kitchen. I used to be more ignorant about "real" Chinese food cause I've only had Americanized Chinese food. I finally got a chance to come here with a big group. The place isn't really small but if you come later, you may not find a seat. I decided to get the stir fry eggplant, I asked to make it extra spicy, veggie dumplings extra spicy, wife if white rice (note - rice dies NOT come with meals, its $1.50 extra, some ppl have complained that places like Snackboxe Bistro charge extra for rice). You pay up front, take a number and go to your table. Food came out really quick. I was impressed. The stir fry eggplant was delicious. I was able to try out my new bff's food. She ordered fried eggplants and fried shrimp. OMFG, that fried eggplant is soooo delicious. I'm getting that next time. The fried shrimp is good too but that fried eggplant got me at hello. Wow. Service was great. Very attentive. I'm definitely coming back. 32/2019 read more

I went to Gu's kitchen for the first time last week, and I was not disappointed at all! My friend and I got the chicken dumplings, spicy dried eggplant, and the chongqing spicy chicken. All three menu items were really flavorful, but my personal favorite was the dumplings! For someone who does not like eggplant, I was genuinely surprised by how good the spicy dried eggplant was texture wise. I would get this menu item again!?The chongqing spicy chicken is legitimately very spicy, so beware if your tolerance is low. I'm excited to go back and try the other menu items. The service was great. We ordered at the counter and the employee was super helpful and explained which dishes were popular and her favorites. Once we sat down, the waitress regularly checked on us and refilled our drinks. My one complaint would be that this spot closes at 8 PM everyday- so make sure to get there early for dinner! Overall, I enjoyed my experience dining at Gu's Kitchen and will definitely go back! read more

Disclaimer: I am an old skool Gu lover. When they took their famous chili oil Zhong dumplings ITP, therby shutting down their awesome dark and Chinese-fancy dive digs on Buford down, I was bummed. We can never go back. New hours, weekday menu and weekend menu a bit different. So while I am thrilled they are back, it's just not the same. Here's why: 1. This place is BRIGHT and STERILE. It now feels more like a Chipotle than Gu's. I am too old for bad lighting. Seriously, my C-section had less and more ambient lighting. 2. The dumplings don't taste as good. Is it just me? Where are the die-hard Gu's folks to refute this? Please refute this as it is (was) my favorite thing on the menu. 3. You now order and pay at the counter and food is brought to the table. But I still give it 4 stars because there is still much to love... 1. Cold Dengu noodles. Magical. Handmade. And they levitate now. Yes, the presentation is very Wingardia Levioso (that's Hogwart's wizardry for y'all non Harry Potter nerds). And they are the stuff of wizards. The Dan Dan noodles are also good. 2. Spicy Fried Eggplant. Delish even without levitating. 3. Spicy Crispy Fish (maybe not always on menu?) get it. 4. Tea Smoked Duck (maybe not always on menu?) yum yum. When we went I brought a bottle of wine in (just opened) and they were cool with it because they had no liquor license but they have one now and I am wishing I could bring in my good bottle. Oh well...at least they're back! YAY! read more

Visited this place on a Wednesday afternoon and surprisingly I was the only customer. Probably because it was 3pm but anyways... I really liked the atmosphere of this place. It was quiet, temperature setting was cool and comfortable. I ordered the Szechuan Beef Noodles and pork dumplings and damn... as soon as I sat down the order came out within 5 mins. Quick and fast service. But be aware that you have to pay first before seating. It kind of made me worry that it was my first time there and you had to pay before you eat but once the food came out it was bomb! Beef was tender, noodles were spot on and it came out steaming hot. As for the dumplings I really thought it was gonna be burn your butt hot but it wasn't spicy at all. Guess the sesame seeds made it looked like pepper seeds. Lunch was delicious and I'll most likely return. read more

I can't even begin to share how much of an affinity I have for this place. I've tried tooooo many things and every time I haven't been disappointed. The dumplings are amazing vegetarian zhong style, it's a must every time I go. The cumin lamb, spicy dried eggplant, spicy crispy beef are my top tops. Other notable recommendations are the po boy, Szechuan fries, sweet and spicy thick noodles. If you're feeling really caveman like, go for the duck- get extra sauce and go ham! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, especially when they recognize you as a frequent. If you want a place you have to recommend to people, this is it. read more

A scant five days after opening its doors, OG Tom E. and showed up today for an early lunch, most likely as the first customers of the day. We ordered right as we came through the doors: Szechuan spicy popcorn chicken, Szechuan spicy fried rice, spicy dried beef noodles, and a full order of Zhong-style pork dumplings. Paid and with a number in hand, we sat down after grabbing some water across from the register (or tablet). Our orders were out in a jiffy and everything was scrumptious. The fried rice was quite hot, enough so that I limited myself to a few bites lest I have issues that you don't want to know about later on. Tom vacuumed the bowl in usual fashion and probably shocked the staff as he ate everything with nary a flutter of the eyes. Fast, attentive (without being annoying) service. I'll be back. read more

I've missed Gu's Bistro ever since it closed years ago and was pleasantly surprised to hear of a new opening. My friend and I went for lunch and ordered the sweet and spicy handmade noodles and the spicy fried eggplant. Both dishes were delicious and actually paired well together, one sweet and one savory. The eggplant was so good we ended up eating the garlic pieces at the bottom of the bowl. And we took the leftover sauce from the noodles and poured it over our rice (which we did have to pay extra for). Demerits from the extra rice cost aside, the only other negative is the shallowness is the menu. I came back a second time a week later and noticed the scarcity of veggie options. There were string beans and then the next option was the dried eggplant. I loved the eggplant dish and ordered it on my second visit as well but calling that a green is like [will insert funny joke later]. This is likely the difference between Gu's being a go-to spot versus an occasional spot. PS Ran into the owner of Heirloom BBQ here so it's got mutual interest/respect from one of the best. read more

Some of my friends and I visited Georgia, and had too many options for food. We decided on trying a new local place, and this spot was absolutely perfect. The workers are incredibly warm and welcoming. Not only were the portions large enough to feed at least 2, but before your glass got even close to empty there was someone walking around filling up water to the brim! I would not have changed anything about my visit with my friends, and wish I could visit again soon! read more

I've been wanting to try Gu's Dumpling for a while as they are nearby my place of employment, but every time I leave work all I want to do is go home and not be in traffic any longer than necessary. Over the holiday since I was home I decided to give them a try. I order a takeout of the mushroom and snow pea soup along with the vegetable dumpling. It was a god thing I ordered ahead as when I arrived to pay & retrieve my order the location was packed with patrons dining in & placing orders to go. When I arrive home I was able to taste & witness for myself all the hype and fuss surrounding the dumplings. They were really good, I only wished I dinned in so I could have them hot & fresh. Though now warm from my trip home they were still very flavorful, and the soup was great for the chill water. A perfect lunch meal. I will be back again either to this location or their Iman park location and I hope to maybe dine in next time. read more

A Szechuan restaurant with actually spicy food. I do spicy food fairly well and this restaurant totally kicked my butt. Not only their food spicy, their food was flavorful and tasty. My husband I got the chengdu noodles, spicy dry beef noodles, basil eggplant, and tai an fish. Tai an fish was chef's specialty menu and the most spicy dish we ordered. Chengdu noodle came in a special dish where it looked like chopsticks were floating. I would definitely recommend that noodle since it has the right amount of spicy. Basil eggplant was not spicy at all, which was nice to have to offset the tai an fish filet. Only downside was that they charged for the rice. Typically Asian restaurants have free refills on rice but here, a tiny bowl of rice costs $1.60. read more

Gu's is a must if you're on Buford highway! The spicy dumplings and cold noodles are my must-do's! The lamb and popcorn chicken are also delicious options. Prepare for a spicy numbing flavor. Everything is a bit oily but that's natural with this kind of food. I'm a huge spice girl so I'm always craving peppercorn spice. Items are a little pricey but they're worth it since the flavor is unbeatable. Place does get pretty packed so I would try to come at off times, especially if you want to order a little bit of everything. When you come in, you order at the front first then you get a number and the food is brought to you. Kind of like Pei Wei but the food is soooo much better. read more

The spicy and sweet noodles were excellent! Hands down the best dish. 5 stars for taste. We also ordered the cumin lamb (not spicy, quite bland and not as cuminy as usual cumin lambs are) and crispy beef (better flavor than cumin lamb, but still not spicy). Overall, the place is 4 stars for food. However, it is VERY expensive. We paid $45 for the sweet and spicy noodles (on the menu for $10) and so the beef and lamb (both specials with no price on the menu) was $35!?!? That means each dish is averages out to be $17+, which is not unheard of, but... The portions were TINY for that price. I would go for noodles... $10 for noodles in chili sauce is kinda expensive, but it is good. The other dishes were totally not worth the price or the calories. read more

I had high hopes for Gu's after some friend's recommended it and I had previously had positive experiences at their Krog St. location. The take-out we ordered unfortunately did not live up to expectations and the food was just ok. Maybe we just went on an off-night or if you live in-town, it could be that the food really is just not worth driving out to BufHi for. We tried the Zhong-style Dumplings (6 for $7 or 12 for $11) with chicken and they were fine but besides the spicy outside lacked flavor and that dumpling "punch" we were looking for. It would also be nice if you could mix and match with the order 12 and try some of the other types. We also tried the Dan Dan noodles which came in a decent size portion but again lacked in flavor. They were good enough that we finished them but seemed like something I could pretty easily make at home. I would come back here again and give this a chance but hope for better. read more

SO EXCITED for this new location! For a rainy Tuesday night, the restaurant stayed consistently busy. We ordered 4 dishes for 3 people and had leftovers even after stuffing ourselves. They have chili peppers next to a fair amount of the dishes to indicate spice levels, but personally I feel like things are not as spicy as listed. Dumplings with Zhong sauce are a must, almost every table had a noodle dish, the spiced 'chicken nuggets' seemed popular as well. Plenty of vegetarian options too! read more

We moved to the Brookhaven/Chamblee area a few months ago and everyone told us we needed to start trying restaurants off of Buford Highway. Gu's was one of the first we tried and now we don't want to go anywhere else because Gu's is absolutely delicious! Each time we go, we get the same thing - Chicken dumplings, handmade sweet and spicy thick noodles and General Tso's chicken. Each item is unique, but they all complement each other for a really wonderful meal. We love the sweet and spicy flavors and texture of the dumplings and noodles. Ordering online is super easy, but we usually call and go pick it up ourselves. We've never waited more than 20 minutes for an order, even on a busy Friday night. We love Gu's and hope to try more things on the menu soon (but will always order our favorites too!) read more
