Are there Chinese restaurants in Marietta?

[u/Mahog11636FM]

[u/MsgrFromInnerSpace]

lol, yes, plenty of American Chinese restaurants on every corner

For authentic Szechuan, best bet is probably Wei by Marietta square

[u/JaredAWESOME → u/MsgrFromInnerSpace]

Came to recommend Wei. It's pretty good!

[u/Lovenkraft19 → u/MsgrFromInnerSpace]

Eating Wei as we speak. Can confirm is the best. Though, Tasty China is also way up there. Haven't tried Firestone yet.

[u/Dirty_Bird_RDS → u/Lovenkraft19]

Tasty China is a memorable mix of great food and terrible service, like so bad it’s comical

[u/Adventurous_Ad1922 → u/Dirty_Bird_RDS]

Agree!

[u/MsgrFromInnerSpace → u/Dirty_Bird_RDS]

New owners are not good, restaurant off of Atlanta Rd was the best, but Peter Chang's legacy and recipes live on in basically all of the excellent Szechuan restaurants around the city, including Fire Stone and Wei

[u/HolyColostomyBag → u/Lovenkraft19]

Firestone is legit. Has some of the same menu items, double cooked pork, beef In oil, fish In oil etc... but the menu selection is larger and imo they give your larger portions.

That said, the pumpkin mochi at wei is like crack.

[u/No-Light-6040 → u/MsgrFromInnerSpace]

Another vote for Wei

[u/BakkenMan → u/MsgrFromInnerSpace]

Yes!! Wei is excellent!

[u/pdmock → u/MsgrFromInnerSpace]

Eat there probably once a week. Love their food. The chili cucumbers, the cold noodles, chinqong(sp?) Chicken all amazing choices. The baos too!

[u/possibilistic]

If you like spicy and authetic Szechuan, Tasty China. It's been an institution for decades.

They opened a glitzy second location in Atlanta's Ponce City Market, but the original restaurant in Marietta is a hole in the wall establishment that caters to a mostly Chinese clientele. You know it's good the moment you walk in.

[u/gagraybeard → u/possibilistic]

OG Tasty China off of Franklin closed and reopened at a glitzy place off Powers Ferry. Still good but not that hole in the wall vibe

[u/FartyLiverDisease → u/gagraybeard]

Tasty China's new place used to be a Mexican restaurant that burned down. RIP, I loved their chipotle salsa 😢 But yeah, Tasty China's great

[u/pdmock → u/FartyLiverDisease]

They took the spot Frontera used to be? I haven't been on that side of town since I stopped working over there.

[u/FartyLiverDisease → u/pdmock]

Frontera, yeah. It looks like a huge fire happened there - the building didn't literally burn down, but it sat there all fire-damaged for a long time, then it was torn down and a completely new, much fancier building built for Tasty China

[u/Important_Stroke_myc → u/FartyLiverDisease]

I wish the pit Frontera back instead of closing the other Tasty China’s and moving there. I liked the old locations and they were cheaper. That dry fried eggplant is amazing.

Don’t forget to ask for the secret menu.

[u/possibilistic → u/gagraybeard]

Oh no! At least they're doing well.

[u/mikosmoothis → u/gagraybeard]

There’s also another one off Atlanta Rd behind Dobbins.

[u/thezippy → u/mikosmoothis]

That one’s closed…

[u/salx97 → u/possibilistic]

Lat time I went there (Powers Ferry location), there were 2 tour bus loads of people who may have been Asian tourists eating dinner there. They had a whole bunch of different things on the menu that looked so good, so you know it’s legit.

[u/Penetratorofflanks → u/possibilistic]

I moved to Florida 4 years ago. I have been trying to figure out what this restaurant was called so I could stop by when I'm on the road back to Chattanooga.

Ty so much! Best, most authentic Chinese ever. Looks like they have a new location.

[u/Reasonable_Smile_929 → u/possibilistic]

Canton Cook

[u/warmvanillapumpkin]

Hong Kong Star is my favorite!

[u/abooja → u/warmvanillapumpkin]

This is the only one I know of that has gluten free options, and it's really good.

[u/warmvanillapumpkin → u/abooja]

Same that’s why I go there, but all my non-gf people like it too 🤣

[u/possibilistic → u/warmvanillapumpkin]

It's kind of lame that they ripped off the name and logo from the original in Acworth. That one has been around since the early 2000's. It's different ownership/management.

[u/frozenchicken → u/possibilistic]

They didn't rip off the original, the owner (Michelle) just sold the Acworth location and opened up the newer lower Roswell spot.

[u/1zzyS4n]

Canton Cook!

[u/salx97 → u/1zzyS4n]

Second Canton Cook! Best fried wings and sesame chicken.

[u/ThotHoOverThere → u/1zzyS4n]

The best!!!

[u/6foot6andrising → u/1zzyS4n]

Those eggroll/burritos!!

[u/EveryoneGoesToRicks → u/1zzyS4n]

Second Canton Cook. The one on Canton rd is our favorite!!

[u/seanmillsartist]

Firestone is the best

[u/thunder1967 → u/seanmillsartist]

Firestone is really good.

[u/plateglass1 → u/seanmillsartist]

I had a steak there that tasted like a truck tire. Turns out it WAS a truck tire and I was at the wrong Firestone.

[u/seanmillsartist → u/plateglass1]

Reminds me of the first time I tried using their oil as gas in my truck, but it worked fine because it's biodiesel coverted.

[u/MookieATL]

WEI by the square is the best!

[u/WilsonLyzardDuke2]

I like Ming Asian kitchen, Hong Kong Star, and Asian express in the east cobb area.

[u/sonicking12]

New Lucky China

[u/caalger → u/sonicking12]

Best almond fried chicken!

[u/salx97 → u/caalger]

I’m always on the look out for a good almond fried chicken. I’ll have to try it!

[u/Conscious-Name8929]

I love house of Lu on the square

[u/WIlf_Brim → u/Conscious-Name8929]

Best things there are Vietnamese, the Banh Mi and Pho are very good.

[u/galactic_funk → u/Conscious-Name8929]

Yes! Not a huge Vietnamese food fan but they do Chinese better than most of the places around here

[u/NeedzCoffee → u/Conscious-Name8929]

I love house of Lu on the square

I went there back in june. the teapot was covered in GA Pollen and the food was wayyyy greasy :(

[u/jtothehizzy → u/Conscious-Name8929]

House of Lu is the BEST Chinese in the metro area. Period. I’ve been eating there since before I could drive and I’m 40. I’m not sure anywhere else has been around this long and certainly not making GREAT food consistently for this long. My grandparents used to talk about when it opened and how great it was back then. Definitely a Marietta landmark and not to be missed.

[u/white94rx]

Three Colors on Lower Roswell Rd is by far the best Chinese food I've ever had. And I've lived in lots of places and have tried a lot of take out. We moved two hours away to Alabama and still talk about it. Can't believe no one mentioned it so far.

[u/theREbroker]

Firestone. New location is E Cobb. OG is off Barrett

[u/Adventurous_Ad1922]

Tasty China, Wei, and Firestone are the best

[u/HolyColostomyBag]

Firestone and wei are the best hands down, assuming you want authentic.

It's a tiny bit outside of Marietta, but 3+3 is also Chinese, and has glorious dim sum and noodles! It's right at Town center, on Town center Dr.

[u/Mediocre-Magazine-30]

Good stuff on the square

[u/2BlyeCords]

House of Chan on Cobb pkwy

[u/NoneThePennywiser]

Canton Cook off Canton Road is pretty great.

[u/Retrofit187]

[u/Retrofit187 → u/Retrofit187]

Best Cantonese style without a trip to Duluth or Chamblee/Doraville

[u/Ericmoran118]

China Dynasty off Sandy Plains has been my family go to spot for as long as I can remember

[u/Mahog11636FM]

Oh wow, thanks for the responses. I was thinking about the lack of Chinese restaurants where we currently live in Florida. Jews eat Chinese on Christmas and all we have is PF Chang. Looking forward to living in Marietta.

[u/A_Soporific → u/Mahog11636FM]

Cobb County has a ton of ethnic foods. Check out the Brazilian stuff down Terrell Mill Road. Or the Wolof at Chiomas off of Cobb Parkway. There's like six different sushi places right around Town Center Mall. Il Mee is some super authentic Korean, down to the imported grape juice with skinned grapes in it.

If it's a genera of food that's reasonably well known there's some examples of it around here somewhere.

[u/Tough-Ad-6228]

Chick N’ Wok of Cobb Parkway

[u/AdamHu]

Wei next to the Marietta square is great, but not as good as Tasty China on Powers Ferry just north of Windy Hill. Both have a good selection of authentic Sichuan options.

[u/AardvarkMiserable362]

I know it’s not in Marietta, but Kennesaw is the best Thai place ever

[u/Noseitch]

Nope. None. /s

[u/mbowen6886]

House Of Chan on Cobb Parkway

[u/Chicken-picante]

No

[u/Beautiful_ganja]

No
