What People Are Saying About Tasty China

Featured Review

In Short – The true foodies in town will no doubt regale you with tales of its origin, chef timeline and romantic story of this large Marietta restaurant tucked deep inside a rather run down shopping center off of Franklin Road, just off Interstate 75. But when it comes down to the nuts and bolts, it’s not necessarily mind-blowing but just a truly tasty Szechwan-region Chinese restaurant. Implementing spice and heat much more in their cooking than the Cantonese style that Americans have become accustomed to, dishes like fish in hot oil, fried chicken with loads of waxy red peppers and…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Allow the server to make the bulk of the decisions if you are a first-timer--just be sure to let them know you want variety.
The Extras:
When they ask how spicy you like your food--exaggerate just a bit--they tend to under-estimate the thresholds of Southern tongues

Outstanding, kickazz food!

by solyvive

If you love hot, spicy chinese food - look no further. This place packs a punch! No need to ask for additional spice, an avid spicy food fan, I ordered straight from the menu and it came spicy enough! Try the shredded crispy beef and the beef roll. They are fantastic. The prices are great and the quantity of food is quite generous. Two people could share an entree.

real tasty authentic Chinese food

by Bigbee

Well, I lived in CA for 15 plus years and had some real good Chinese food all over the world. I have to say Tasty China is not bad at all. They have some unique spicy dishes that I have never had anywhere else. I agree the furniture and carpets are old and nasty, but you always can to-go.....My favorite is the water boil beef and spicy eggplants, but these are off-limits for novice guys and gals.

YUCK!

by MRGOODTASTE

Close your eyes, this place is FILTHY. Everything is covered in a film of dirt, chairs are torn up. Carpet looks like it came out of my old frat house. No wonder, we were the ONLY people in there at 12:00 on Valentines day.

We didn't eat what we ordered. Couldn't force it down. Trust me. I tried. I'm cheap and do not waste food. Nor am I a picky eater, you should see me.

So, I complained and they didn't care. Wouldn't go back if it was free.

The only reason I gave one star is because you can't choose less than 1.

Tasty China is the Best Chinese Food Ever

by chrisabraham

Tasty China is surely the best, the boldest, and the most delicious and succulent Chinese food I have every had, globally — though I have yet to visit China. And celebrity chef, Peter Chang, is back! You have to go.

The success and majesty and frank deliciousness has everything to do with the presence — and return — of the famous and transient Chef Peter Chang, known for his culinary wanderlust. Well, he is back and better than every in a super-modest scruffy strip mall in Marietta, Georgia, nearby to Atlanta.

Tasty China is well worth the visit not only from greater Atlanta but also the region, the south, the north, the United States, or glob ally. It is so hot and spicy it makes me cry but also with happiness too.

Thanks to Liz Marvel for constantly making visits to Atlanta and Tasty China something of an annual habit — she has her birthday feast there every year and so I get to eat there at least annually.

Oh, and if you noticed, I didn’t speak any specifics on food. Well, I don’t know my Chinese food at all and let Liz and her husband Eric order for me.

Best chinese in North Georgia

by stvinatl

If you think you know what chinese food is then think again- stay away from the stuff you've heard of before and aim for things like burning beef roll, red chili won tons, --- when you go - say hi to Phong- she'll aim you <sometimes with force> towards the best on the menu-

  • Pros: Fresh, Flavorful, top chinese
