    General Tsao's chicken and crab ragoon.
    amy a.

    It's a hole in the wall, next to the Chevron, with bomb food. I had pork and broccoli and my friend had General Tsao's chicken . Delicious. Fried rice cooked deep brown! Crunch egg rolls. I'd drive out here from JC again!

    Chicken St. Paul

    Anyone from St. Louis, MO understands how hard it is to get Chinese food *anywhere* that is prepared how it is in STL. The struggle is real!! So when some other STL people who now live in ATL metro told me this place was the real deal, I had to come. I walked in and explained what the streets were saying. The owner said "yep, that's where we're from." I replied with one question: does that mean you sell St. Pauls? He replied in the affirmative, so I skipped the menu and went right into my standard order: one chicken St. Paul and a half order of plain fried rice with extra egg and gravy. Dear reader, it was perfection. The St. Paul had the softest bread to ever touch human fingers. The rice was dark brown as it should be and the gravy dressed it right up. I needed to add soy sauce but was so into eating that it was gone before I could. This place is like an hour from my house, so I can't come frequently but I will certainly be back!

    Whole orders

    Being a TRUE ST LOUIS NATIVE!! This is the Real definition of home away from home. Me and my family drove over an hour and it was worth every minute !!! the rice, the noodles the Saint Paul, the crab Rangoon, the vess sodas the "sundance "chips. Everything was on point. We got sweet n sour sauce. Not "duck sauce ". The rice doesn't have vegetables because who eats peas and carrots in they "chinamen" ?? Rice was just the right amount of dark !! I could go on for days. But instead. We'll just go back. We gladly spent over 200$ on three adults & 6 kids !! Worth every penny. See you next weekend lbvs

    The reciepts

    I was not impressed with this place. I ordered Shrimp egg foo young and shrimp fried rice. Wanted a combonation for this but this place does not have an egg foo young combination. So I had to pay for each item separately. I asked the guy was the gravy light brown and he said yes. Which it was not. My total was $17.75 just for shrimp egg foo young and shrimp fried rice which is ridiculous. when I got home is when I found out the gravey was not light brown it was dark something and thin like water. The gravy was nasty . The egg foo young was also greasy. I was very upset. So this is a one and done for me.

    When it's attached to a gas station, you already know the food is going to be good! Taste 8 was highly recommended by friends from St. Louis. Ordering was convenient. You can do this online on their website. They will call you to let you know when the food is ready for pick up. Currently, the location is for pick-up only. You order at the door space they converted to a window. Everyone here is sweet and friendly. Food came in huge portions and piping hot! Ask for gravy on the side for your fried rice. Would definitely come back again. :)

    VIRAL GA PEACH MILK MATCHA…read more I continue to get messages from local folks saying that they are disappointed in the local Asian food scene... Are they disappointed in the food scene or are they just disappointed that there are no good food accounts to show them the way? Most people have trouble researching local food, I get that. I understand. I have many thoughts on this, especially when your feed is now clogged with foodies that are only money grabbing local businesses and not truly supporting the community and it's innovation. If a businesses doesn't have a "social media marketing budget," that doesn't mean that they don't have life changing food and drinks. You just haven't found them yet, because the business is not willing to pay a model to promote them. A delicious moment is when you realize that OTP Atlanta is a food travel destination. Especially, Gwinnett county. Nothing brings back a specific memory like the flavor of a beloved drink at the coziest bubble tea shop. It is my secret, hidden gem hangout spot. These moments make me question my own origins, where I live, and just like many of you --- how I take Georgia for granted. 1 Peach Milk Matcha Latte - Creamy, delicious and not too sweet. I'm surprised how well the peach flavor pairs with matcha. 2 Yuzu Citrus Drink - Super refreshing and mild citron style drink. This drink is best at 50% sweetness and with crystal boba.

Parking can be a bit confusing as there are some in the front and I believe having some In The back as well! The cute logo stands outside the door and the sign and once you go inside you are greeted by nice staff and a very spacious environment with an inviting ambiance. There was many things to do and keep yourself entertained such as board games, arcade games, claw games and tons of comfy seating. This place is perfect to hang out with friends. I ordered a Thai tea latte with oat milk and got tapioca pearls. They do charge you $1 for milk substitute and the tapioca will be 0.90 so be aware. The barista took his time allowing me to figure out what to order but also creating my drinks from scratch. He helped me out and gave me a bag to hold my drinks together. The drink itself was okay. It tasted a bit off as far as flavor wise but the tapioca was fresh. Thai tea was a bit too milky and almost as if powder hasn't fully dissolved. I think I will try a different drink next time as I wasn't too much of a fan. The service and environment is what sold me so I will be back!

Their banh khot is extremely crispy. I got the shrimp filling. Perfect amount of filling as well. The herbs they provide are fresh and they definitely do not skimp either. I like banh khot because of how small it is. Easier to eat in my opinion. The salted fish fried rice was made to perfection. It was not over powering in flavor or in smell. You can just tell everything is made with love by how consistent their food is.

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!
