Craving this lately. Some good American Chinese food. General Tso's Chicken and stuff like that. Anywhere ITP that has some really good stuff? Preferably close to Midtown or Buckhead.

Yeah I like Ming's and Corner BBQ but those are both real authentic Chinese places. I want some American Chinese food, know what I mean?

The American Chinese food in Atlanta is horrible. I've tried different places over the years, even the places that are supposed to be really good and they just don't make good American Chinese here. Quite frankly, a lot of it is just plain nasty.

The flavoring is wrong and they don't use things like bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, snow peas or water chestnuts in the food, just chopped onions and frozen peas and carrots. I think I had bean sprouts in my food only once. Whenever I've gone to get American Chinese here and have asked for bean sprouts, they look at me like I'm nuts and then tell me that they don't have them. And the meat, you can't even tell what it is. If you are looking in Buckhead, definitely don't go to Grand China. Their food is horrible. One of the very first things that I noticed when I moved here was how awful the Chinese food is.

If you are used to eating American Chinese in places like NYC, Cali or Chicago, there's a very good chance you aren't going to like the Chinese food in Atlanta. I've also never been able to find any good Szechwan here.

There are tons of great places like this in the Duluth/Johns Creek area.

I realize that's far from Buckhead/Midtown. Canton Cooks in Sandy Springs on Roswell Road just OTP is excellent.

Yeah there are plenty of places like that in Gwinnett County. You have to go where that demographic of people live to find the food that you are looking for. That's like living in Bankhead and complaining about that area not having any good sushi lol.
Anybody saying METRO Atlanta does not have any good Chinese restaurants again do not know what they are talking about.
