I have been going to Marco Polo since it opened 20 years ago. They have been doing high quality asian food since before PF Chang's made that hip. I just moved back to Atlanta after an absence of a few years. One of my first stops in town was to Marco Polo. I noticed from the parking lot that something had changed: a new sign, a new logo, etc. I was concerned. I was fearful that a classic was going to go down the tubes. Nothing could be further from the truth. The new owners have updated the interior and it looks great. Most importantly, the food is better than ever. I ordered my old standby, Sesame Chicken. When the waiter brought it out to me, I was bummed because it looked a little different. I was only bummed for a second because they even found a way to improve on the already great taste and texture of that dish. The fried rice was great, too: not the mass-produced type found at some places. The hot & sour soup was outstanding. If I'm scraping for something to complain about, it would be this: the spring roll had a good taste, wonderful sauce, and a crispy exterior, but it seemed a little soft due to a few too many rice noodles on the inside. If you love asian food, you owe it to yourself to check out Marco Polo. It is FANTASTIC!
Pros: Outstanding food quality. It's easy to see that they've put a lot of work in to their dishes.
Cons: I wish it was closer to my house.
