Urban Hai was the best dining experience I had during my trip to Atlanta: excellent service and delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine. The restaurant is also sophisticated, modern, and sleek. I'm still thinking about the roast duck entree and wish I had ordered it to take with me back to the airport. There are lots of Szechuan-style dishes to choose from, and I highly recommend the Crispy Pork Belly. I love the mala taste of the cilantro, peppercorns, and chili served on top. I haven't had anything like it in a long time. This is a must try in Atlanta for anyone who enjoys Chinese food. read more

I was in Atlanta for 3 nights for business and can say that this was the best food I had. It is not much for ambience. Simple tables and not much decor but you come here for service and food. Our server was wonderful. He was always smiling and super attentive to all our needs. There were three of us and we were pretty hungry so we ordered a number of dishes to share. I started with a Mai Tai which was excellent. Then we began the food We got a scallion bubble pancake served with a sauce. FANTASTIC. We got salt and pepper shrimp, chicken in iron pot, numbing vegetables, steamed dumplings and white rice. It was a lot but none was wasted. EVERYTHING was delicious and perfectly prepared. You have to try this if you love great Chinese food read more

Such a hidden gem in the heart of Atlanta! The atmosphere was surprisingly peaceful given the busy location--it felt like a little escape from the city. We were seated right away and the vibe was warm and inviting, with soft lighting that added to the relaxing feel. We started with the pork buns which were soft, flavorful, and a great start. The Mongolian beef was absolutely excellent--tender, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. Pork dumplings were also a hit, especially with the sweet and sour sauce. The fried rice was spot-on, and for dessert, the fried mochi with sugar on top was a unique and delicious treat. Honestly, this was some of the best Asian food I've ever had. The prices were very reasonable for the quality, and the service was just as impressive--both the host and our server were so kind and welcoming. Will 100% be coming back again--and probably bringing friends with me next time! read more

Friendly people, but must admit the soup dumplings and bun was not good. We had one piece of meat that was undercooked, but the grandma noodles were really good. My mango tea wasn't as good as I wished; however, my husband loved the melon one. The ambiance seems fun, but I don't recommend the crab and meat dumplings or the steam bun. Meat tasted a little weird. Overall, a decent experience. read more

Urban Hai - Had grandma noodles, lamb, soup dumplings, and the bun with milk tea. - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was in town on business for a couple nights and it was raining so I had Urban Hai delivered. I ordered the Mongolian beef (w/ fried rice) and some pan fried pork dumplings. The Mongolian beef was really good, and a ridiculously large portion (which is probably good considering it was $$) but a very different flavor profile than I'm used to for this dish, heavy on the curry powder. The meat was super tender and the onions well caramelized, it went well with the fried rice upgrade. I liked that the fried rice wasn't super heavy on soy. I was actually craving a very specific flavor, which these didn't have, but I don't want to knock them because it was a very good dish in its own right. The pan fried pork dumplings were also very good, thin wrapper, good flavor - they would have been even better if I'd dined in I think. Prices were pretty high, possibly just doordash markup, but the portions like I said were huge. I didn't have enough time to eat all my Mongolian beef before having to fly home so I had to cart it with me back on the plane (sorry to my row-mate if it smelled like curry!) Rating could go up if I'm back in town and get to dine in. read more

Hubby and I were craving Chinese food and wanted to try a new place. First off, parking here is validated, which I'm so glad because it was $20 for 2 hrs to park here if it wasn't free. There's a QR code to scan upon entering the restaurant. They were pretty busy on Saturday night but we grabbed a table. Service was pretty good. Our server checked in on us a few times. To start, we ordered the dry fried eggplant (a must-get! Fried to crispy perfection but could be more numbing. It's served as a small plate so serving isn't that big) and grandma's noodle (served with wide noodles and a sweet garlicky sauce with chili oil). We also ordered shrimp fried rice (it was good but found the added shrimp a little too salty) and sweet and sour pork (this did take awhile to come out but we were not notified until after the fact. The pork was pounded really thin and the batter was thick. It also tasted mored like orange chicken sauce and not so much sweet and sour). Everything did come out pretty fast except for the pork dish. TBH, I'm not sure if it was worth the wait. Next time we come back here, we'll definitely stick to ordering their Szechuan dishes. read more

The dumplings are a particular highligh, they are beautifully presented in traditional bamboo steamers and taste just as fresh and delicate as they look. read more

The aroma draws you int it this restaurant and the crowd attests tot he quality of food. I highly recommend this restaurant for groups and business dinners or date night. They deliver, and have huge dine in space. Parking is tight but there are few on street spots. It is visible from regular traffic. The staff is slightly rude and slow service overall but a good compromise for the quality of food. read more

Thank goodness they were open and had space for us! We were working at the Global Food and Produce Show at the Georgia Congress Center and were starving (no time to eat a regular meal during the day)! Everything we ordered was delicious, full of flavor, crunchy or tender, crisp or moist, as appropriate. (Sorry, someone else took all the photos and hasn't shared them yet.) We had the (See menu photo) R5 Beijing Sauce Duck Buns with shredded scallions/cucumbers, roast duck, and sauce in steamed bao buns. Crispy skin, tender meat, yummy sauce. Soft fluffy bao. Winner! We "saw" the scallion bubble pancake (D10) walk by to another table - picture an enormous Jin Dui (mochi puff with a sweet inside) that's larger than a football! We also "saw" a Hot pot walk by to a table of college students and that looked delish as well. (Will have to try them next time.) V2 Dragon Eggplant in Spicy Garlic Sauce was delicious, and for a person with a non spicy palate preference, I managed to eat several servings at dinner and later on as leftovers. P10 Crispy Pork Belly with cilantro-mmm, no words! Ok some words: just the perfect amount of salt cooked into that crispy skin and tender meat! H5 Salt Pepper Jumbo Shrimp was as expected, messy to eat but tasty. They let us order off the lunch menu, too- so we had M7 Mongolian Beef in a lightly spiced curry sauce-everyone agreed that was heavenly; and M5 Black Pepper Asparagus Beef with their homemade Worcestershire sauce. (Love tender spears of asparagus!) Boss wanted a noodle, so we ordered N2 Lo Mein "Combo" (shrimp, veg, beef and chicken). But! What we thought were the noodles were placed on the table and we had no idea what it was.(The dishes are announced, but we couldn't always understand/hear.) And yes, it was tasty, but we couldn't find the noodles in the dish. So we alerted them and alas, it belonged to another table. We had so much food (for our party of 3) there was no room for dessert. And yes, I was part of the party of 2 who had all the leftovers a few days later for another dinner meal. (PS Good quality reusable containers were given to us for the leftovers.) The ambience was family and college student friendly, and we saw a few business meetings being held there as well. It is airy, spacious, and our work suitcases fit at our table. (They will store them for you on the side if you'd prefer.). There's also another party section a few steps above where we were seated, and the whole restaurant was filled by the time we started eating. The take out services were booming as you'd expect from a popular restaurant. Moderate prices, well worth every penny! (We later discovered it was a miracle we got seated as reservations are recommended.) The restroom was very clean, spacious, and well stocked. Please note: it looked like there was parking available for a fee; and it is part of a complex. Therefore, unfortunately, it took our mobile app transport a very long time to find us; we were walking up and down the slight hill attempting to find their noted "landmark". We were so happy and full, so the walking was okay;), and look forward to returning! read more

Prefacing by saying I've only ever picked up food from here but it's always been great. Atlanta does not have great options for take out, and the Urban Hai menu is always incredible. It's always ready quickly with a friendly staff member waiting to bring you your order! read more

wow! what a nice find! cute spot, got seated quickly. they validate parking at one of the garages (call to ask which one) for 2 hrs. spring rolls were okay but the veggie lo mein and sesame chicken was yummy. they had some limited staff so service was very good but a bit rushed. our waitress was super nice though. lots of food and drink choices. reasonably priced. overall good experience! read more

Urban Hai has been on my radar as a Chinese restaurant to try in Metro Atlanta. It is located in Midtown, so parking is limited (street or nearby parking garages). The inside had ample seating and tables for people and our food came out fairly quickly. We got the Egg Drop Soup, Hot & Sour Soup, Dry-Fried Green Beans, Scallion Bubble Pancake, Bang Bang Shrimp, Szechuan Kung Pao Chicken, and Crispy Pork Belly. Honestly, I was a bit full before coming here so I feel like I was unable to fully sample the food here. But to start off, I really enjoyed the Egg Drop Soup as it came with crispy wonton wrappers of sorts to put in the soup. The Dry-Fried Green Beans were alright; I was hoping for of an MSG or soy sauce flavor, so that might be on me for having different expectations. The Szechuan Kung Pao Chicken was not bad, but not my favorite. The Bang Bang Shrimp had a good taste, but I was unable to eat more than a few pieces because I was full. I liked the Crispy Pork Belly as it literally tasted like fried pork belly chunks, but it is definitely more on the fatty side and can fill you up fast. I was disappointed in the Scallion Bubble Pancake as there was not really any scallion flavor on the pancake; all the flavor came from dipping it in the mild curry sauce that comes on the side. Lastly, I wanted to say that I am not a big fan of most Chinese foods so please take my review with a grain of salt. I think that if you are in Midtown and craving Chinese food, you might as well check out this restaurant and see for yourself. read more

Place was decent. Aside from a savory sauce served with the vegetables dumplings nothing stood out. Service was a bit awkward. Servers drop plates on random spots of the table then proceed to yell out the name the dish before abruptly exiting away from your table. Chicken dishes had a weird texture to them. One was rubbery while the other mimicked medium rare steak. Doubt I ever return read more

This place has outstanding reviews but it just didn't do it for me. I called ahead of time to place an order for take-out. I should not have done that because it only took 10 minutes to prepare my meal but 20 minutes for me to get there. You will need to park in a parking garage and walk over. The venue validates parking so this will not be an extra charge. The place is spacious and looks extremely nice on the inside. I ordered the Half Pekking Roasted Duck. It comes with two duck soups, bowl of green veggies, some oyster sauce, and wraps. Everything tastes extremely fresh and look great. The duck is not seasoned at all. Nice dish but much more expensive than what it is worth. read more

Urban Hai - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Excellent Chinese food in the heart of Midtown. Their prices are reasonable (especially compared to some other places in the area) and their food is fresh and delicious. Highlights for me are the three pepper beef, chicken fried rice, and chongqing chicken (the latter is very spicy, be warned). My only wish is that they had egg rolls, as I am sure they would do them so well. I fully accept that this is a totally uncultured American request, but I like egg rolls! They do have veggie springs rolls but those just don't do it for me. A great spot I order from often! read more

Nestled in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, this Chinese restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Be aware that there's only paid street parking or a nearby parking garage, so plan accordingly. We stopped by on a Monday night, and even though it was bustling with people, the service was impressively fast. Our appetizers arrived within 10-15 minutes, the soups almost immediately, and our entrees were served within 15-20 minutes of ordering. The entire service experience was quick and efficient. As for prices, the dishes here are very affordable, especially considering the large portion sizes. This spot is ideal for family-style dinners, as the portions are filling and perfect for sharing. Here's what we ordered: Soups: * Egg Drop Soup (S2) - $3: Flavorful and satisfying. Definitely our favorite of the two. * Wonton Soup (S3) - $3: Disappointingly watered down and lacking depth. This could use some improvement. Appetizers: * Xiao Long Bao Pork Soup Dumplings (D4) - $11: Below average--there was little to no soup inside, so they were mostly filling. If you're a fan of traditional soup dumplings, you might want to skip these. * Salt & Pepper Calamari (P15) - $10: Unfortunately, it was dry and chewy. However, the lettuce and dipping sauce were a nice touch and added some flavor. Entrees: * Shredded Chicken Dan Dan Noodles (D5) - $10: 7.5/10. Mildly spicy with a decent portion. There was a hint of citrus from the cilantro, but it had an odd aftertaste. * Mongolian Beef (M7) - $20: 8/10. Flavorful, slightly sweet, and soft in texture, served with lots of onions and a side of steamed rice. * Three Pepper Beef (M4) - $20: 8.5/10. Our favorite dish of the night. The Worcestershire sauce mixed in gave it a unique flavor. Comes with steamed rice. * Salt & Pepper Jumbo Shrimp (H5) - $28: 7/10. This dish is fried with the shell on. It was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. If you enjoy eating shell-on shrimp, you might enjoy this. * Combination Fried Rice (N3) - $15: 8/10. Good flavor, though it could have used a little more soy sauce. Large portion, so very shareable. Ambiance and Service: The ambiance was nice, with a lively vibe even on a Monday, which is a great sign. One downside was the women's restroom; only one of the two stalls was functional. The staff, however, were friendly, attentive, and offered great recommendations. Overall: I would recommend checking this place out, especially for the value. The portions are generous, the prices fair, and while some dishes stood out more than others, there's enough variety here to satisfy different tastes. If you're in Midtown and craving Chinese, this spot is a solid choice. read more

I have visited this location often but today will likely be my last time. I ordered my food and it was not as ordered. I called and they advised to bring it back. When I walked in they asked me to confirm my order, no apology or anything, and took my food to the back. Minutes later he brought my food back. So they did not remake it fresh and just made some modifications, and did not apologize for the inconvenience. Therefore after thinking about my experience as I walked out, I decided to ask for a refund and he looked astonished. I explained why and will not visit this restaurant again. Customer service does not exist. I had to ask him if they planned to apologize for the inconvenience and then he "apologized". No longer recommend. read more

Stopped by around 7pm for dinner. Surprised at how many tables were open - we were seated right away. Simple seating and decor. Impressive menu with an array of food choices. We decided on the scallion bubble pancake (we didn't find it flavorful, hardly noticing any scallions and certainly not better than a normal scallion pancake), hot and numbing vegetables (opted for not spicy) which were fresh and absolutely delicious and the highlight of our meal - it comes with rice, duck buns (tasty and solid), pan fried pork buns (fine but not memorable), and both the pork and chicken XLB. The dumplings satisfied our craving - there was way more dough than meat in terms of ratio but the flavor was fine. Weird that their soup spoons are so tiny vs. the size of the XLB. If we could give this place 3.75 stars that would be more accurate. Despite other reviews, we found service to be absolutely outstanding - attentive, responsive, and super friendly. Definitely would come back to try other dishes. The restaurant filled up during the time we were there. (Saw a very cute happy birthday song from the staff to some guests). read more

Service was great. Our server Rita was extremely kind and helpful giving us several popular options that she recommended. We went with some classics such as Peaking duck, spicy Bok choy, and vegetable dumpling. The peaking duck was good. The vegetable dumpling was tasty but to soft and soggy. And the Bok Choy was okay, definitely had a kick of spice but wasn't fond of the flavor and that it wasn't chopped, I'd rather the baby Bok Choy got easier consumption. read more

Excellent Chinese food. Everything was delicious, especially the dry stir fried items. Service was friendly and attentive. They have so many options it can be overwhelming to order but fortunately they have several small plates that let you try different items. The chongqhin chicken, spicy fried shrimp, salt and pepper calamari, Anhui beef noodle soup with handmade noodles, and Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) were all very tasty and flavorful. I will be back next time I'm in town. read more

Really not sure why or how this place has such good reviews. I ordered 3 small plates because I trusted all of the reviews Dan Dan shredded chicken, veggie steamed dumplings and dry fried cauliflower. The chicken on the Dan Dan was minimal and cold, while the noodles were hot. The dumplings smelled and tasted how stinky trash smells. The dry fried cauliflower was the only thing that was ok. I don't trust y'all's reviews on yelp anymore. Get outta here. read more

Authentic Chinese food served here and it's really good! I had the kung pao chicken and spring rolls. My date had the Mongolian beef. Definitely the freshest ingredients used. Our waitress was very friendly and was very honest about some of the foods ie, levels of spice. The ambiance is cool too. No need to get dressed up but it's very clean and spacious. I highly recommend parking on either side of the building as they do validate. If you park directly across the street it's $14. So be mindful of that. Food 9/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 9/10 read more

Accessible and modern, but also authentic Chinese food, which is a combination that is hard to find. Lots of space inside and clean interior. Our favorite dish was the grandma's noodles which was packed with flavor. Spiciness level of the dishes may be adjusted. We also ordered the soup buns. Make sureif you order these, you order them as soon as you sit down as they do take about 20 minutes to make. Our puff appetizer with a curry sauce was our second favorite dish. The orange chicken was also pretty good. I would come back to order more dishes. I was eyeing the flounder with bamboo dish and the fried mochi, but we really had no room left in our bellies after our delicious meal. read more

The food is delicious, ever since finding out about it this restaurant, I came here 4 times in a span of 4 weeks. Every single time I go, I try new items and every single item has not disappointed. There is 1 fish I order every time I go no matter what and that's the Peking Duck roll, it's so yummy how it's wrapped, light about of duck sauce, slices of cucumber to give it a nice bite and wrapped in rice paper. I highly recommend this if you like duck or even if you are feeling adventurous and want to try duck! The service is alright, but sometimes good food is enough and more important than the customer service. read more
