2 words: Shanghai Noodles! I've gotten this twice and it's so so good. As another reviewer mentioned, it has a dusting of some sort of seasoning that's delicious. I love the thin noodles plus the egg, chicken, and shrimp is great. Food also comes out fast so this is a great spot for a quick lunch. Parking: shared private lot.
We came right when the restaurant opened at 11am and were the first customers, but sadly, the food was a big letdown. The Three Cup Chicken was overly sweet, starchy, and had a strange color--honestly, it tasted worse than what we cook at home. The Pork Chop was so dry that even the kids didn't want to eat it. The Braised Pork had barely any flavor, and the portion was tiny--definitely not enough to go with a full bowl of rice. The Beef Noodles were disappointing too--the beef wasn't tender at all. The only dish we actually liked was the Salt and Pepper Chicken, which was nicely seasoned and crispy. Portions across the board were small, and for the price, it just wasn't worth it. Really disappointed overall--we won't be returning.
I love coming here so much. I was here last week and came back again this week with a different friend! When I enjoy the food, I definitely recommend it by taking as many friends as I can to it! Lol! Had the standard Honey walnut shrimp as I always do! I don't think I've ever eaten at this restaurant and not ordered this! But this time I got the Chef special pork belly with rice and loved it! I can't wait to try more of their offerings!
The food here is excellent and the people are very nice! We got calamari which was perfectly crispy and super flavorful. We got some wonton dish also as an appetizer that came with a delicious sauce that I put on everything throughout the meal. I had Singapore noodles for the first time as well and I didn't expect to like it as much as I did! And we also got sichuan lamb which was also super flavorful. Could've been spicier though in my opinion. Great place to come with lots of people! The server gave us scallion pancakes for free at the end which was really nice. Very affordable also for the amount of food you get!
Love this place For traditional orders and splitting amongst everyone this is my #1. Can't beat it
Not the same food or experience I loved before - they definitely changed ownership. I came for lunch - they don't have lunch specials anymore. I could hear the hostess sneezing and coughing ... maybe subconsciously that affected my appetite. Very few customers. Ambience missing the upscale Taiwanese feel ... BASIL CHICKEN - $16.95 The server recommended this dish and it was pricey for something that tasted so plain. No love in the food. Dish was supposed to be spicy but it wasn't spicy at all - I told our server "medium spicy" but I think she misheard as "a little spicy"?? The dish had bell peppers, onions, basil, and chicken. The complimentary side of pickles was good though! Sorry I won't be back - too many other great options to choose from.
This place was alright - felt it was overhyped for me. Not run by Taiwanese folks and the minced pork rice (should be fattier & saucier) and beef noodle soup (it had northern style noodles) was alright. Good but not Taiwanese style my husband says. We also got the eggplant & kung pao chicken so we could have leftovers for later. Eggplant was pretty good - liked that there was some protein in there and tasty sauce. Kung pao was a bit greasy. I liked that that each of these dishes came with rice! Most places charge for rice these days. Can't speak to ambiance since we got take out. Service wise - food was ready when they said it'd be!
The food is always delicious! I love the noodle dishes the most! The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming! I definitely recommend this place!
I wanted some authentic Chinese traditional food and this place didn't disappoint. The service was fast and waiter was really nice and attentive. It was a calm environment and I'll definitely be back.
This is a hidden gem if you're looking for a family owned restaurant where the staff remembers your order and name when you visit. The food is always fresh and the staff is super friendly! My go to has been the fried rice which is authentic and not that bland rice with mixed frozen veggies that you usually find at many restaurants. My family also enjoyed the beef with mixed vegetables, shrimp dishes, and the egg rolls. The only dish I didn't love was the sesame chicken because the batter seemed too hard. The portions here are large that can fill a football player's appetite and will give a standard person two good meals. Don't miss out if you want great food that won't have your pockets hurting when the check comes lol.
La Mei Zi is tucked away in the corner of Asian Square on Buford Highway, but I would definitely recommend not skipping out on this place! The servers were fairly attentive as well. They give you a cucumber salad to start off with and it was super delicious. I probably could have eaten several plates of it on my own. My friends and I ordered the Scallion Pancakes, Stir Fried String Beans with Pork, and Spicy Chicken Sichuan Style. The Scallion Pancakes were very thin, however, they were still good. I have also been trying to find a good string bean dish at different Asian restaurants in Atlanta and I think this restaurant has a really nice recipe for them! Lastly, while the Spicy Chicken Sichuan Style was delicious, I did not think it was spicy at all so I would ask for a higher spice level next time.

We decided to try this place based on the high ratings, but unfortunately, our experience didn't quite live up to the expectations. 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. read more

Let me tell you -- La Mei Zi absolutely understood the assignment. I had the Singapore noodles, and babyyyy... the way they were dusted with that curry-flavored seasoning? A whole revelation. Each bite was packed with flavor. And paired with a refreshing chrysanthemum tea? Chef's kiss. The food was delicious, the service was perfect -- attentive, kind, and efficient -- and when the check came? I had to blink twice. Incredible food at a price that made me want to order extra just because. 100 out of 100 -- highly recommend. Run, don't walk. read more

MRS says ...The Taiwanese salt and pepper basil chicken is always a crowd-pleaser. Though it's listed as an appetizer, we can never resist ordering at least two--plus an extra to take home. It's just that good! Beyond that, we also love their Three Cups Chicken, Celery and Bean Curd with Chicken, and Sichuan Spicy Chicken--which has a similar crispy, flavorful bite to the Taiwanese basil chicken but with an extra kick of heat. No matter what we order, the vegetables on the menu never disappoint. Every dish we've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. One visit is all it takes for the staff to remember you the next time you return, adding a warm and welcoming touch to the dining experience. If you're visiting on a chilly day, try to sit away from the entrance. Each time the door opens, a blast of cold air rushes in, and it can be quite the surprise! read more

Ok! So let me start by saying that Buford Highway is my favorite area to get food in the metro Atlanta area. My issue is that the amount of amazing restaurants available can be overwhelming to choose from. So I'm always excited when someone else suggests a new restaurant to try. My good friend heard great things about La Mei Zi from her fellow work colleagues. It's located in the back of a shopping center that unfortunately is under major construction. That did not stop us, nor a crew of other people, from going. The service here is 10/10! They honestly all make you feel like family. It was so refreshing because you can tell that each person that came to our table was genuinely happy to be there and talk about the food. Now the food! Oh my gosh!!! Booooomb! Okay?? I kept it simple this go around, mainly because I was craving some stir fried noodles. I ordered the house stir fried noodles while my friend ordered the house Lo mein. Both dishes, while simple, were outstanding! I honestly think I found my favorite Taiwanese place. I look forward to trying more of the menu items when I come back. read more
This was my first trying Taiwanese food and I was thoroughly impressed! The service was great and the staff was very attentive. I loved the welcoming atmosphere and the ease of parking. Upon ordering they gave us a delicious appetizer of seasoned cucumbers. They were so flavorful and fresh. The entree portions were large enough for 2 people to share. We ordered the General Tso's Chicken and it came with white rice. The flavor and spice was the best I've had. The chicken was deep fried to perfection and had the perfect crisp. read more

So the parking lot is honestly terrible. It is under construction and very congested and you will have a really tumultuous time trying to find parking with all the one ways. Is in a shopping plaza and where it is in a shopping plaza there is really no exit or entrance there because of the construction so you will have to navigate yourself accordingly. The space is a large dining room type area with a big table in the middle (with carryout things stocked on it). When I came in it was pretty crowded and I told the lady at the front that I wanted to see to dine in and she just pointed to the table she wanted me to go to. She didn't actually take me or lead me to the table. She pointed across the room, and I feel like that could have been treated a little bit better or a little bit differently. Along with that I had to wait just to get a menu. I don't even know if they knew I was there for a while, which was really annoying... Sitting with no menu or water or anything. Let me say that you get large portions here, so dont expect to come here and get a kids meal size helping. They feed you like an adult! General Tso - was super good. I have no complaints about this. It came out hot and cooked to perfection in the sauce was just as flavorful and spicy as it needed to be. Chicken dumpling - I have no issue, the dumplings were good. Soft and tender, they hit the spot. Veggie spring roll - spring rolls were good and came with a sauce that really set them off. I would definitely get these every time. Wonton in hot Sichuan sauce - No this I ordered randomly just because I happen to catch another table near me with it. It's a spicy dish, so if you don't want the spice you don't need this. But they had several of the dumplings in the spicy oil and it was really flavorful. It may have been more spice in heat than it was flavor, if that makes any sense, but is still was really good. I would 100% come back to this spot. Maybe I would evaluate when I go because the parking lot is a mess. Especially because they're doing construction right now on it. But at the same time, the food would definitely get me back in the door. read more

Ordering online yielded a timely pickup experience, though the shopping center was a bit cramped and someone was outside shouting about what sounded like some bad driver behavior shortly before I got there. They had the option at least to order the classic mapo tofu without meat, and a moderate number of vegetarian choices. My tofu delivered a rich flavor and a bit of numbing sensation that suggests they used the real stuff in their spice mix. It was quite large and filling. My veggie dumplings contained corn, mushrooms, and a few other goodies and were likewise plentiful. I was a bit surprised they didn't offer more things; for example a three cup tofu is one of my favorite dishes but they only offered that preparation in non-vegetarian fashion. But what I got worked out well. read more
guys.. as an asian this place is not catered to our taste buds. everything was either tooooo salty, sweet and not spicy or savory at all.. it was very disappointing to come where there's a lot of good reviews but trust me.. not worth. service was fine parking is plenty seating is plenty read more
Super quick service and casual atmosphere. The food wasn't anything groundbreaking, but if you're looking for a casual spot for Chinese food, this hits the spot. The hot and sour soup was flavorful and comforting. We got the General Tso's Chicken and the beef and broccoli. Both were very good with generous portions. read more

The restaurant is located at the corner of the small shopping plaza, there's plenty of parking. The service was courteous as well. We ordered Pork Intestine, spicy mapo tofu w/pork, waitress suggested that the two dishes had same flavor, so we switched mayo tofu with pork in garlic sauce. The Pork Intestine was good, no surprise, it could be spicier; but pork in garlic sauce was surprisingly sweet and not spicy at all, its Chinese name is 角香肉絲, but it's nothing like it, a huge misleading statement. As a Sichuan restaurant , it should provide at least something close to it. I'm very disappointed. read more
