I don't get why there are so many negative reviews. This place is legit. The food was amazing and the ambience was pleasant. I guess the service style puts people off but that's just their culture - speedy and stay out of others' spaces. We lived in LA for about 15 years and this place felt like it belonged in Chinatown. It was soooo good! Definitely check it out. Just remember, try not be offended if the server doesn't stop by to ask how you're doing - if it's authentic, they won't. You have to speak up. It's worth it. read more

We came in for lunch and were seated fast. The restaurant is very nice aesthetically. The ambiance is casual and schezuan appointments. The temperature was cold but not overly so thus older patrons can come in and not worry about the temperature. My egg drop soup and crab lagoons were very tasty! The sweet and sour chicken was deep fried and bland. The service like the others mentioned was inattentive probably because most of the servers were on their phones. Our waitress was however ok. In summary, average food high prices and so so service. read more

I ordered the shrimp fried rice, which was lighter and less greasy than usual, though it wasn't made with teriyaki or other sauces. It paired really well with the Mongolian beef, which ended up being my favorite dish. The large round tables made it easy to share food & talk with everyone in our group. Service was decent, and since the restaurant wasn't very crowded between 7-10 p.m. on a Saturday, the atmosphere was fairly quiet, aside from our own group. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE, TERRIBLE MANNERS, TERRIBLE EVERYTHING ‼‼‼ Just left this restaurant and was looking forward to it because it was highly recommended. TOTALLY a mistake. I know we were in a Chinese Restaurant, but the staff barely spoke and barely spoke English at that....... We got seated just before 3 pm, but by the time 2 of the people in the party went to the restroom and came back, ready to order it was 3:04 p.m. The who I guess was the manager, stated we couldn't order off the lunch menu because it ended at 3pm. The manager and other staff was literally eating dieectly across from me.........getting up from that same table to take my order........Not good! I can't believe what we just experienced and also can't believe we were just treated in such that way. A lot to be improved ‼‼‼ read more

The only good thing we had was the pork potstickers. The skin was thin and perfectly chewy, and the filling was abundant and flavorful. Chairman mao's pork is supposed to be made with the fatty cuts - theirs was almost all lean dry cuts. The egg rolls are a skip - big and crispy but filling is eh. Service took a long time so don't try to come if you have a short lunch break. read more

This review is applicable to both the Duluth and Suwanee locations of Masterpiece. My husband and I have eaten several times at each location. There are several dishes that are delicious, but alas, now inedible for me. Their prawns in garlic sauce is probably one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. What is the problem then, you ask? The chef does not properly clean the prawns! They are filthy with the prawn excrement cooked right onto the prawns! Sorry, but this was totally disgusting to me and we no longer eat there!! This is very sad because with some effort to food hygiene, we would be glad to return. We found the above on several occasions-- it was not a one time thing! The service was uneven as many of the waitstaff do not speak fluent English. So, we had a friend who writes in Chinese write our orders out for us! The Duluth location has no ambience! The restaurant overlooks a cement plant and the decor is pedestrian at best. The Johns Creek location is much nicer. read more

The dishes were overwhelmingly salty. As many others have noted, there was no real service--no refills and little attention. To make matters worse, the server gave us an attitude over the tip, which was frustrating considering the lack of service provided. read more

I have been going to Masterpiece for years and cannot remember a time when the food was anything short of excellent ! Whether dining as a couple or with group of friends Chef Liu never fails to impress ! The food is fresh and one of the best Schezuan cuisine experience anywhere. Would highly recommend! read more

Been excited to try this place after hearing it has gotten some acclaim and recognition. I popped over from the office during lunch and ordered an egg role, an egg drop soup, and a lunch shrimp lo mein. I'm sure there are more interesting and better things on their menu, but figured I'd wait to try their shareable entrees until I came with my wife another day. The food was fine, but not great, and seemed clearly a step below Pearl Lian across the street. The service, although not awful, was pretty disappointing as well. Grabbed a table for one and the server delivered my water and a menu. After dropping these off I was completely forgotten about. After a prolonged wait, the server walked by after delivering a check to another table and said, "oh!" and then asked for my order. Mistakes happen, but not a great first impression. The egg drop soup and the lo mein came together, and the runner walked off without a word. By the time the server finally came around, I was already eating and decided to disregard the egg roll, thinking they forgot. Right when I was finishing my meal, and preparing to request the check, the server delivered the egg roll and didn't address the timing. Overall, none of these things are a huge deal, but combined with decent food at best, I'm not in a tremendous hurry to return. read more

The ambiance was very relaxing. The space was very elegant and inviting. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. The food was simply amazing Every dish wasn't just spicy, there was a ton of complex, delicious flavors. Everything was so good; a second serving of rice was definitely a must, there is an extra $1 charge per bowl. ----------------- 红油牛筋 C9. Coriander Beef Tendon in Chili Sauce- It is a cold dish and it was coated in a delicious chili oil. A little tongue numbing for those who cannot handle spice. 沸腾鱼 D1. Boiled Fish Fillet with Ash Powder and Chili- The filet was so smooth and soft. This dish was not spicy at all. 鱼香茄子 G12. Eggplant with Garlic Sauce- The eggplant was one of the most complex dishes. Not as spicy either, so umami!! The eggplant was so tender! read more

I would say it's good. It's not great and it's no where near terrible. We used to come here years ago when it was another name and the menu was very different and loved it. I have been looking to try it, but finally went tonight. I would say most of the menu is more authentic cuisine with things I would never dare try, and a small section in the front of more American style meals, but if you want rice, you have to pay extra because it doesn't come with your meal. I ordered the Mongolian Shrimp and it was good. Nothing wrong with it except shrimp was overcooked and had tails still on and there was absolutely nothing else in it except for onions, scallions, and sauce. Not much flavor except, well, the onions. My husband had basically Cashew Chicken and really enjoyed it. It's big and clean inside with pleasant music playing and service was fine, with the exception of my meal being brought out a solid 5 minutes before my husband's. Overall, not bad, but not as good as the last place was years ago. read more

Masterpiece is an authentic Szechuan Chinese restaurant in Johns Creek and offers a plethora of your standard Chinese dishes like sesame chicken, kung pao etc. as well as more unique dishes like duck blood stew, pig's feet, tripe and more. My family and I came to celebrate Chinese New Year of the rabbit and decided to stick with the classics as we weren't feeling particularly adventurous that day. We shared the: Sesame chicken 5/5 plump and juicy chicken with a side of fresh broccoli Shrimp with mixed veg 5/5 family favorite with perfect seasoning Sizzling beef with white rice 5/5 my personal favorite! Was delivered to the table hot and sizzling. Delicious marinade. Wonton Soup 3/5 had a beef filling and low on broth. Not a traditional wonton. Overall, had a great dining experience although the service could use some improvement. We had 5 different servers at our table and it was confusing. Come try the food, however! read more

First off, this is the "same" Masterpiece that's on Buford Hwy. I don't understand when one is closed and when the other one is open. We live near the JC one but drove all the way Buford Hwy to find that one closed then drove back to JC and found this one open. I'm not sure how their schedule works, it's not listed on their schedule and not worth the effort. Food is so overpriced and overly numbing with more MSG than I can handle (I can eat pretty numbing but this is too much). We ordered one dish that comes with intestines and some other things ($30) but it was mostly spam. For $30??? Rice is not complimentary and costs $1/bowl. They just ask you if you want rice and will not tell you it costs $1/bowl. Their kitchen is also extremely slow. If you want to add dishes later, they'll tell you it'll take forever and that it's better to order all at once. My family and I visited when there was a tropical storm and rain was leaking through the roof where my dad was sitting. They didn't move us to a different table and just said no big deal basically. There was a giant puddle near him causing a big safety issue. Also feel like some raindrops fell into our food. read more

I was so excited to see that a new Chinese restaurant had opened in this spot (since I had frequented the Chinese restaurant that was located here before, which was different). We visited on a Sunday evening, and the restaurant was fairly empty - service was prompt. The interior is classy and spacious. The restaurant is quite large with a full bar as well. The menu was expansive and had a Sichuan influence. For food, we ordered: A1 Szechuan Bean Jelly (川北凉粉), G12 Eggplant with Garlic Sauce (鱼香茄子), D10 Fish Fillet w. Pickled Cabbage & Chili (酸菜鱼), F29 Sizzling Beef with Black Pepper (铁板黑椒牛). Note that rice was $1 per bowl rather than a family-style bowl. We also got a pot of chrysanthemum tea. The jelly was a great appetizer and had a subtle mala and vinegar flavor. I often order eggplant at Chinese restaurants, and we all thought that this was the best garlic eggplant we've ever had. The garlic flavor was strong, and the sauce was delicious but not oily. I loved that it had a good balance of salty and sweet. Another favorite was the pickled fish soup. The serving was large (could feed 4-5 people), and the fish was fresh. The beef was just okay - I couldn't really taste the black pepper, but it was otherwise cooked well. Overall, we all thought that this was a delicious, authentic meal at a good price point and with a nice ambience. Looking forward to bringing our friends here in the future! read more

I don't know why there are lower ratings for this place. 1. The building is beautiful. Easy to access and park. Super new and pretty inside. Gorgeous decorations. 2. All staff was so nice and wanted to help us. They even brought us complimentary hot and sour soup. 3. The food was delicious and amazing. Lots of spicy but as expected. And so many options. Can't wait to go back. read more

Came here for Saturday lunch and it was all delicious! The restaurant is spacious and beautifully decorated. For lunch it was relatively quiet and the service was great. The food was all delicious, but there are multiple levels of spicy on the menu, and when a dish has 5 or 6 peppers next to them they mean business! I eat meat but my favorite dish was the vegetarian tofu slice, so definitely a good place for vegetarians too. Prices are a bit higher than typical Chinese, but the portions are generous and worth it for the outstanding food. read more

Let's talk about worse service u will get, that u will find in this restaurant, once they give u the food u order, they disappear, never see them again. I have to go hunt them down. No refill on my water, no asking if I want anything else, no one come take the dirty plate or exchange my dirty plate. I have to serve myself. Waitress, they got all the negative attitude and dark face you can imagine. Food is not the best that u must come here for! Listen, if u have a choice of a restaurant, please DO NOT come here. Or if u can't get a table anywhere else, oh well.... They lucky to have u! read more

Masterpiece was once the crown jewel of Johns Creek [and BuHi...]. My dad raves of the days where the portions were amazing, the food delicious, and the service incredible. Unfortunately, today, none of that is true. 夫妻肺片 portion is significantly worse than its heyday. It's at least still good. Truthfully, it is the only great dish that I've had here. Cumin lamb and their rabbit dish both tasted incredibly old. I'm near certain the meat is past expiration, but they chose to serve it rather than throw it away. Service here is below par even for authentic Chinese restaurants. One time, we ordered our beloved 五更肠旺, and the server didn't say anything. Please understand that Chinese restaurant menus are massive, and sometimes it's easier for the server to simply say they don't have an item if they don't. What does this idiot server do... Without asking us if it's okay, she substituted the significantly inferior 毛血旺. Man, this dish was the definition of mediocrity. When we asked her about it, she defiantly, and with a nasty attitude, said "我们没有五更肠旺!" ("we don't have [that dish I wanted which i'm always scared to order with my 老外 friends because it sounds scary or icky but is actually incredibly delicious.]"). What the f...ruit. I told my Pastor i'd curse less.. Anyways, how stupid is this? Why tf would she not let us know that they don't have the dish that we tried to order? Why tf would she be defiant and angry when we were noticeably disappointed? Some great restaurants are polarizing at the 3.5 stars level. I can assure you that this restaurant is not a great one. In a city with incredible Chinese food, especially Sichuan food, this is easily the worst spot that I've had the displeasure of visiting. read more

We have not dining in the restaurant for quite awhile. Recently we found the food tasting a lot better than before, very authentic Sichuan flavors. read more

This place rocks, and has some of the best food I've ever had. Yes, service can be slow, but the flavor and authenticity of the food makes up for it. Must try the dried fried eggplant, twice cooked pork, and sizzling tofu. This place is perfect for large groups they serve large portions at an affordable price. Must check them out!! read more

I was thrilled to finally enjoy the wonderful food of Masterpiece at their new Johns Creek location, which is the building formerly occupied by Wei Dao and Liu Fu. It's a great space which has been slighlty updated from its previous occupants. The large size will make even the most nervous COVID-era person comfortable dining in. They are in a 2-3 week soft opening period right now. The menu appears to be identical to the original Masterpiece location in Duluth. We ordered: Stir-Fried Green Beans Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce Stir-Fried Pork Belly Beef Chow Fun Potstickers Everytbing was delcious as expected. My favorites of the bunch would be the pork with garlic sauce and the stir fired pork belly. Excellent all around. The restaurant seemed to be only staffed by one cook and two wait staff, but they were doing a great job covering the medium sized crowd. Hopefully the staffing is still ramping up during the soft opening. Highly recommend Masterpiece to anyway who wants truly authentic Chinese Sichuan food. If you have a family member who thinks that means sweet and sour chicken, it's best to leave them home. Can't wait to eat at this new Masterpiece again soon. read more

I've only picked up food from here rather than dined in, but my hot take is it's the best hunan food around. Just knocking a star because of value: I do think it's on the pricier side. I love the cumin lab, tofu dishes and stir fried potatoes here. They have the traditional dry spice flavor that defines hunan cuisine, rather than the heavily saucy or numbing taste that most Sichuan restaurants abuse. The inside is never that crowded and looks very spacious whenever I go. Would like to sit down and eat it on the spot one day! read more

Food here was so so good. Priced very well and good for groups. The masterpiece chicken is magnificent and perfectly spiced with Szechuan Chili's. Service was not bad but not good. All around great experience read more

Not sure it was a masterpiece but not bad. Service was okay, our waitress was not the friendliest but the food came within a reasonable amount of time. Payment system was awkward... waitress asked for a tip in front of us. Food was okay not over the top amazing. The chicken fried rice was simple and had good flavor. The tofu dish was a hit or miss for our table - you either loved it or didn't like it. It was a fried dish but, compared to most fried tofu dishes, the tofu was really soft/soggy in this dish. The Kung Pao chicken was fine - the heat was there but flavor-wise nothing special about it. The environment itself was well kept and decorated with traditional Asian symbols and statues. The restaurant is large and clean with a moderately noisy atmosphere. read more

Masterpiece has two locations. This location has nicer sitting area, Large tables, but higher price. A $13 dish at Duluth location costs $18 here. The service is terrible. There is only one waiter, one waitress and a bartender for such large area. We have to wait 3-5 minutes every time we need something. The waitress is extremely rude. read more

Holy Carp!! The general tsos is the hottest I've ever had. Very fresh and good though, but I've broke a sweat. The server was not that great. The restaurant is nice. I'll be back but maybe something a little less hot. read more

There is plenty of parking by the restaurant. They are open for dine in, but I placed a to go order. I made the order around 5 and it was ready for pick up when I arrived at 6:10. It was nice that I could look at the menu and place my order online via Cartana. There were many options to choose from for the dishes, a lot of spicy dishes since it is a Szechuan restaurant. Chicken with dry red pepper: it was just the right amount of spicy and not too many numbing peppercorns. Some had no chicken in it and it was just breading. Still tasted good though. Fish fillet: so there was two options on the menu, one that said hot oil base and one broth base. I had thought the hot oil base would be the spicier one with actual sauce. If you want the one with more sauce get the one that says broth. Overall not too bad, it was more mild spicy to me. It did take away from the dish that we found a wire inside :( but I know this can happen at times. Just be mindful when you are eating. Stir fried sour green beans: nice acidity and the spiciest dish we ordered. Perfect for pairing with white rice! Eggplant: very unique taste, not spicy at all. The sauce was delicious and would mix well with rice too. There is ground pork on top of each eggplant. Chairman Mao's pork: slightly sweet, definitely not a dish you can eat a lot of in one sitting. Maybe a different way of packaging is needed for take out, as the sauce/broth spilled all over :( Fried rice: it was just average. Not worth the $17 price tag. Our order did also come with 4 medium boxes of white rice at no extra charge. Overall, the dishes were more oily than I would like. Prices are a bit higher. Personally would have enjoyed if some of the dishes were more spicy (maybe I could have added for extra spicy) read more

We had extremely slow service on a night where it wasn't busy. The food was fine. It's a different type of Chinese and mostly spicy, but tasty.

During our Christmas travel, we decided to try this restaurant. Firstly, super clean and well decorated. We were one of 5 other dinners there. We ordered the stir fried tripe, fish with secret sauce, and hunan tofu. We were hoping to have some really good authentic Chinese food. However it turned out to be a "meh" better than the average but not the grandest. The service however was, the reason for my one star. We had a American couple, across from us. The server was extremely nice to them. However when taking our order, she rushed us "saying she needs to go and take another tables order, to hurry up". My husband, asked her to be patience. This was our first time there; and we want to experience their food. She didn't take that too well. All in all, I would not go back. Especially after being rushed, and not having anyone to explain the menu. (No pictures) and the food being rather plain. read more
