The Scene – A modest presence amid the check-cashing stands, herbalists, and western-wear outlets of Buford Highway, this smallish storefront is a popular draw both with locals and intown foodies. Inside, the decor runs to the bizarre (black lacquer, hypothermia mauve), but it's a comfortable place all the same. – – The Food – Widely considered one of the city's better Chinese restaurants, this cafe's easygoing approach to cuisine makes intimidating dishes appealing and familiar dishes exceptional. Small dishes of spicy soybean sprouts and chunks of pickled radish…

BEST CHINESE IN ATL!!
by craving4food at Citysearch
This has to be the best chinese food in ATL. I've tried many other restaurants, but this is hands down my favorite. The ingredients are fresh and they have generous portion sizes. The food definitely stands out among all of the generic chinese places! The atmosphere is a little "80's retro" with pink and black decor, however you hardly notice this once you eat the food. The last time we dined here it was packed....and there was a long line of people waiting to sit down, which says a lot since there are so many other food choices in ATL. When the majority of the people dining at a chinese restaurant are actually chinese, this tells you that it MUST be good and authentic!!!
- Pros: Food, Service, Portion sizes, Quality and freshness
- Cons: Ambience is 80's retro

"BEST" Beef Noodle Soup we ever had, can't find this in NJ. Spicy Chicken w/black bean sauce outstanding. Glad Michael took us there, "THANK YOU" Kong!

The best Chinese food I've found in Atlanta
by BrerJackalope at Citysearch
You should try this restaurant! My wife and I average 4-5 visits a month to Little Szechuan. Although I can't speak to it's Szechuan (or sichuan) authenticity, it's without doubt the best Chinese food I've found here in Atlanta. We've been going to LS for 12 years now. The food's always been top notch and we've always had excellent service (I will admit that there can sometimes be a bit of a language barrier with new wait staff, but they've always bent over backwards for us service wise). That's part of it's charm in my opinion.
Kong Ko is the chef and owner of Little Szechuan and one of the nicest men in Atlanta. Once he knows you, he'll start suggesting new foods for you to try, often things that aren't on LS's already huge menu. Try the fresh Bamboo Shoots when they're in season!
I suppose Little Szechuan's biggest problem is it's very worn decor. I'm quite used to it, but I think it scares first timers, especially those without a sense of adventure. I'm there for the high-quality food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices though, not the decor. That's what Buckhead is for.
- Pros: Food is fantastic!
- Cons: Ambience isn't so great.
