    Chongqing Spicy Chicken
    Denishia T.

    I ordered food to be delivered from here for the second time today and decided to try the Chongqing Spicy Chicken. It was not as flavorful as I expected it to be and had very little chicken in it. Honestly, it wasn't that spicy either. I added chili oil to it and it was still kinda "blah." I would like to suggest adding more bok choy as this was the most tasty part of the dish.

    While the sauce was tasty, it was doing all of the work. The actual chicken was unseasoned. I recommend cutting the dumplings in half and letting them soak up some of the sauce. There wasn't a line at the stand and the service was quick. The main seating area is nearby which makes it a convenient stop.

    Pad Thai
    Stephanie D.

    Gu's has really good dumplings but I didn't get a picture this time! Ordered the pad Thai and it was delicious! The service is always super friendly! Located inside Krogg so the atmosphere is always fun! A plus about Gu's is they have free refills on their fountain drinks!

    Gu's dumplings are amazing and should be a must stop if you are nearby ...or even if you're not. Don't let the other food in the food hall, or a long line, or anything, really, sway you away from this awesome food. The dumplings and noodles were both full of flavor, were served hot and fresh, and totally hit the spot. While the price may seem a bit high, the quality was 100% worth every bite and dollar. I can't wait to get back and try something else.

    Chengdu Cold Noodles

    Service was very friendly. We had Zhong Style Dumplings, Chengdu Cold Noodles and Spicy Dry Eggplant. Only the eggplant dish was good. So disappointed with dumplings and noodles. Chengdu Cold Noodles was swimming in an extremely sweet savory sauce with nothing but a few strands of beansprouts and a little sprinkle of sesame seeds. No shredded cucumbers or green onions. Sauce is supposed to be savory sweet, sour and spicy with Szechuan peppercorn's mala, a mouth numbing spiciness. It is supposed to be refreshing. It is nothing like the Chengdu cold noodles. It's a joke! They charge 16.00 for this! Who are they fooling! Zhong Style Dumplings is not at all like it used to be. It shares overly sweet sauce with Chengdu Cold Noodles and non of spicy mouth numbing mala. When they first opened in Krog Street Market, their food was adjusted to suit the clientele of the area. It was tamed, but not bad, but what happened now! Very disappointing because when Gu's first opened on Buford Hwy, they served true Szechuan food from Chengdu which is the center of Szechuan province. It was excellent and no other Szechuan food like it in Atlanta area. Unfortunately they closed the original location and opened Krog Street and another one on Buford Hwy. Buford Hwy location is nothing like the original one. Small servings at higher prices and the taste seem to have changed. It's all about catering toward masses with uneducated palate. Yes, they are trying to be trendy at Krog and Buford Hwy location. Buford Hwy location's interior and service wares are modern, but without substance. Extremely disappointing to lose once a great food.

    There is certainly a trend in Atlanta in recent years: starting on Buford Highway, then relocating into the city center. Hayakawa, Food Terminal and Gu's top that list. Gu's started with Gu's Bistro on Burford, closed that down to open this Krog location and now has a new spot on Burford again called Gu's Kitchen. Gu's dumplings is a Sichuan style dumpling joint, presenting well constructed dumplings in plentiful soy based sauce. Ran by Chef Gu and his family, these dumplings are known as Zhong Style and may be less familiar in the Western Cuisine. The style hails from Chengdu area of China in the Southwest. And, this is a one of a kind delicacy that is very hard to rival. It is clearly a time proven classic dish of Chinese cuisine. Boiled dumplings, bursting with pork flavor, a delicate dough that does not fall apart, revealing a cooked garlic finish profile every so subtly, Gu's is a special place in the city. As a big plus, no MSG is used in the kitchen here, so don't worry about being thirsty after or potentially poisoning yourself!

    I have been to Gu's Kitchen on Buford Hwy several times and I had the chance to revisit Gu's Dumplings at Krog Street. I ordered the pork dumplings and Dan Dan noodles that I have had many times at Gu's Kitchen. The dumplings were just as amazing as always but the noodles were not as favorable as I remember from Gu's Kitchen. I added sauce from the dumplings to assist with the flavors.

    I've been wanting to try this for a long time. I got the half order of pork dumplings and dan dan noodles. $30 for both items and it was just alright. Nothing special about the food and way overpriced. I wouldn't come back again.

    Stopped here for lunch while walking along the beltline. The spicy chicken was good, but very dry. Probably will try another entree next time instead of this. The string beans were the best!

    Handmade Sweet and Spicy Thick Noodles
    Joanne C.

    I think I liked the Dan Dan noodles more than the pork dumplings and the homemade thick noodles. Overall yummy espically the chili sauce but didn't quite meet the hype. Fast service. Hard to find a spot to sit during the dinner rush.

    Full Order Pork Zhong Style Dumplings, Chengdu Cold Noodles
    Felice B.

    Good, but I don't know that I could call the food life-changing. The dumplings were just fine and the sauce was nice, a little bit spicy and just a tiny bit sweet. However, the filling seemed a little dense and the wrappers were thicker than I might have expected. The Chengdu noodles were also pleasant, a good choice on an unexpectedly hot day. No cilantro, like many Sichuan places would add, but that's a huge point in their favor as far as I'm concerned. I had a short lived heat afterburn going, so that was enjoyable. Fast albeit indifferent service. I would return but there's no way I could call this either the best dumplings or best Chengdu food I've had.

    I visited the food hall in Atlanta, and I absolutely fell in love. They have more Asian varieties however, I am not a sucker for a good dumpling and I order the pork dumplings and it was so delicious a little bit of spicy, but a perfect amount of spice. I got the sweet, savory and umami flavors and I would love to go back again and try it. It was such a great portion for six. The milk tea Boba was amazing to. I did believe that they said it was a non-dairy cream base and I didn't have any issues so I believe it is non-dairy. Try it out and let me know what you think.

    Why are the green beans so expensive? $13 dollars for a rather small bowl of green beans. Tasted great, but really...??? $13 dollars....?

    It's because you're paying their rent in that ridiculous market.

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

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