CAFE 101 hasn’t had as much attention as some other places, but absolutely deserves its share of the spotlight. Located in the quintessential Buford Highway ruins of a defunct restaurant, this eclectically decorated Taiwanese restaurant serves stellar Szechuan specialties such as chewy Szechuan dan-dan noodles drizzled with a spicy sesame and garlicic-laden sauce, confitlike fish filets with soft tofu in a hot bean sauce packed with fresh ginger, and gigantic mountains of finely shaved ice topped with everything from beans to fresh kiwi. less...

The much-lauded chef Peter Chang has left TASTY CHINA, but the kitchen staff hasn’t missed a beat. In fact, they’ve introduced a whole new slew of dishes even while retaining the Szechwan favorites that made Tasty China Atlanta’s ultimate foodie destination for Chinese. Try any of chef Liu’s new lamb dishes, or go for any of the old favorites — hot and numbing beef rolls, wontons in chili oil, fish and coriander rolls. There are more delicious dishes on the menu here than you’ll ever have time to eat, so go soon and go often. less...

If eating gloppy rice soup with bits of pork and mushroom in a mountain chalet appeals to you, then EAST PEARL is your place. The soup is delicious, as are the dumplings and duck’s feet. East Pearl has a selection slightly less greasy than other dim sum places in town, and the huge tables of Chinese families who flock there every weekend appreciate it. The mountain-lodge decor is still pleasingly surreal. less...

CANTON HOUSE is the favorite for dim sum in Atlanta’s Chinese community. We’re not surprised. Few dim sums are operated with such efficiency and such a broad menu. Novitiates will wave and say bye-bye to carts bearing chicken feet and pig stomach, but nobody leaves hungry. Anything made with shrimp or barbecued pork is bound to please even the most unadventurous diner. Get the rice cooked with pork, wrapped in lotus leaves. The fragrance when it is unwrapped is worth the price. less...

With Canton House just emerging from renovation and Oriental Pearl transformed into a buffet, it might seem that CHINA DELIGHT would win the dim sum race by default alone. Yet just one visit and you’ll see that this spot does dim sum as the finest houses in Hong Kong do. In a glittery setting, servers push carts loaded with steamed scallop dumplings, flaky taro cakes, creamy rice porridge and turnip cakes studded with sausage and griddled crisp. Don’t miss out on the magical tofu pudding, a custardy bowl of quavering tofu doused with a ginger-laced syrup.
2390 Chamblee-Tucker Road, Doraville. 770-986-0898.

Ha! Ha! This category makes us laugh every year. We are blessed with a zillion Chinese restaurants featuring different regional cuisines and hybrids. Hell, we’ve even got us a Mexican-Chinese restaurant. So, reaching into our hat full of favorites, we pulled out the name of PUNG MIE this year. The restaurant moved to fancy quarters a few years ago but continues to serve its home-style fusion of Korean and Hong Kong cooking. The hot braised chicken is one of the city’s notable dishes (especially spiked with vinegar and chili powder) and we love the “meat balls” - sort of like Asian country-fried steak. Get you some jellyfish salad, too. “5145 Buford Highway. 770-455-0435.” less...

Just how good is the dim sum at CANTON HOUSE? Check out the license plates of the sedans crowding the parking lot one Sunday afternoon and you’ll find a number of out-of-state tags. Chinese families from throughout the Southeast make the pilgrimage to the Buford Highway institution to teach their kids the best thing about their culture: behaving well and getting to eat as many dumplings as you can hold. Glistening rice-noodle sheets hold tender, soy-soaked shrimp; flaky spheres of shredded taro are heavy with roasted pork. But it’s the cart parade of dumplings that brings the throngs year after year. “4825 Buford Highway, Chamblee. 770-936-9030.” less...
