The Canton House on Buford Highway is my family's go-to for authentic Cantonese dim sum in Atlanta…read more The food is always up to expectations each and every visit. 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!

The crab sticky fried rice had a super firm texture, and I especially loved the eggs in it. 9/10. The sesame balls with black sesame filling were easily the best sesame balls I've ever had. 9.8/10. The filling was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, the mochi was chewy, and the exterior was nice and crispy. The Peking duck was hitting as usual and is still one of the best I've had. The skin was super crispy while the meat stayed juicy. 9.5/10. The second course of the Peking duck had a chewy chow fun, although I thought it was lacking a little flavor. 8/10. The oysters were flavorful and fresh. 8/10. Service was fast, and I really like that they get the food ready whenever you tell them you're ready. Overall, definitely a spot I'd come back to!

The shrimp rolls and shrimp dumplings were on par for dim sum. The veggies were good. Mom said the chicken feet were tender and good. The rest were just unsatisfying. Overall, not the best dim sum I've had, especially for the high price.

This place deserves 7 stars. The single best dim sum place…read morewe've ever found. We've come here for years, and it has NEVER disappointed. The service is fast and reliable. The only thing we don't like about the ambiance is the shrine, but that comes with the territory. I highly recommend the large pork bun, soup dumplings, chicken dumplings, and the glutinous rice in lotus leaf is my FAVE. I've never had a bad entree there either, but the dim sum is the best ever!

It's tucked…read morebehind an eye doctor's office in Doraville, and if you didn't know it was there, you'd probably drive right by it. The restaurant itself is pretty small and stays BUSY, which isn't surprising once you taste the food. Everything we ordered had so much flavor. We tried the shrimp fried rice, Shanghai soup dumplings, scallion beef, and the traditional pan fried pork buns, and I honestly enjoyed all of it. The soup dumplings were a standout, and the scallion beef was packed with flavor. The only downside was the service. Everyone was friendly, but they were clearly overwhelmed. It took a while to get attention, and the food came out whenever it was ready instead of all at once. It wasn't a deal breaker, but it's definitely something to expect if you're dining in. Overall, the food was absolutely worth the visit. Next time, I think I'd order takeout instead because the quality of the food was excellent, and it seems like that might be the best way to enjoy it.

This is my go to place for dimsum or dumplings…read more Located on Buford Hwy, this is a small restaurant at the back/lower level of a building. Parking may seem tight but there is plenty more behind the building so don't be discouraged. I would suggest making a reservation by calling (if you have a large group) as there can be a wait on busy weekend days. I personally love most of their dumplings - soup dumplings, pork, lamb and zucchini. I've ordered the chive dumplings a few times but the chives always ends up being very overpowering. The dumplings are made by hand and come out steaming hot and fresh. They also have a selection of rice and noodles and other dishes which we have ordered but not as the main attraction. I'll be back here without a doubt when I have my next dumpling craving.

The arrival was wonderfully effortless with convenient parking right outside. Stepping inside, I was thoroughly captivated by the refined decor an exquisite arrangement of vibrant greenery and delicate traditional Chinese calligraphy that gives the pristine space an authentic, sophisticated atmosphere. The hospitality was top-tier from the moment we arrived, with the staff providing attentive, gracious, and extraordinarily polished service. To begin our luncheon, I ordered a traditional Hong Kong-style iced tea, which arrived rich, smooth, and expertly chilled a perfect pairing for the afternoon. For my main course, I selected the seafood with mixed vegetables. When the dish arrived, it proved to be an absolute culinary triumph impeccably fresh, cooked to perfection, and brimming with vibrant flavor.

I ended up order the sweet and sour chicken with white rice and veggie egg roll. My husband ordered the garlic eggplant with fried rice and hot/sour soup. Plus, we shared veggie fried noodles for long life because we stopped here for my birthday. Service was wonderful and we got our food fairly quick. They were really good at refilling our water and clearing the table free of trash. I really enjoyed the noodles as it had tons of veggies, but an overwhelming amount of bean sprouts. The sweet and sour chicken delivered as it was both sweet and sour and I had plenty of leftovers. I found the veggie spring roll quite oily though, but it did its job.

Really like this place. Came on my way home from Dragon Con and glad I did. Got the salt and pepper…read morecuddlefish and the mapo tofu. Both dishes were very good. The cuddle fish was well fried and very crispy, the sauce that came with it tied everything together. Little sweet, little spicy, little hot of twang. Was amazing. Mapo tofu was extremely good, was exactly what I wanted after a long day. Smooth tofu, lots of spicy and tingly goodness, and the rice with it was perfect. Service was good, was really quick for pick up. And the place is super clean and really well spaced out inside. I would dine in here if I could have. I will be back for sure the next time I'm in the area.

Everything was DELICIOUS. The scallion bubble pancake came out HOT, like hurt-to-touch HOT. It was crispy and airy. It was served with a side of mild curry sauce. The noodles, lamb, and eggplant came out hot temperature-wise as well, but they were also hot spice-wise, especially the cumin lamb. The spice levels cleared my sinuses, LOL. But though I struggled with the spice, I kept on eating because all of the dishes were delicious and flavorful. The tender lamb was served on little skewers. The dry fried eggplant was super crispy; the pieces were shaped like spicy fries. I liked Grandma's noodles even more. The noodles had that bouncy, chewy, hand-pulled feel and were covered in vinegar & hot chili oil. I appreciated the portions. Despite being an appetizer, Grandma's Noodles came out on a large plate, and for being small plates, the eggplant and lamb were pretty filling. The service was also friendly and attentive. My food came out quick, and the staff constantly kept my glass of water filled. My only annoyance was the $1 charge for the bowl of white rice, but the food and service more than made up for that small, inexpensive annoyance.
