Hsu’s Atlanta

Had the seafood noodle soup with rice instead of egg noodle. It’s pretty good, not as authentic as SoCal, but it’s worth a try.

How good is this place? I don’t normally like Chinese food … I mean, it has to be REALLY good for me to actually enjoy a meal at a Chinese restaurant … but my friend wanted to go to Hsu’s so there we went. And it was SO GOOD! I paid about $ 18 plus tip (lunch) for a jar of hot jasmine tea, regular spring rolls, and the Mongolian Beef with fried rice on the side. The serving sizes were more than enough for me. Everything was delish! Service and atmosphere are excellent as well.

Edible, but not good, and very overpriced. If this is Atlanta’s idea of excellent Chinese food, they really need more Chinese food in Atlanta.

I work walking distance from here and I eat here about once a week. I’ve tried several of their lunch specials but I’m stuck on the String Beans Szechwan style with chicken or shrimp. It’s the best!!! They also have fast and friendly service.
I was surprised that you can get more rice without being charged more.
I recommend this place to everyone.

The food is very tasty and fresh leaves u definitely wanting to go back again if your ever in The downtown area of Atl this is a place that you must visit

Amazing food, amazing drinks. Try the strawberry lemon drop! So yummy :) the chicken lo mein is amazing and is a good size portion for the price.

I’ve managed to eat at Hsu’s on a couple of occasions, usually when stuck in town for an event like Dragon*Con. This is a venerable Chinese restaurant that’s been at the same location many years. It’s a little on the «lived in» side but the food is very solid, at least for Americanized Chinese food. While the food here is good, there aren’t any real call-​outs on the menu that I can find. I’ll probably end up eating here again sometime in the future.

Food was amazing!!! And excellent wait staff. Some of the best Asian food I have had in a long time!

I liked this place ok. Nothing over the top and prob would come here again for my fast chinese food fix but it is not the best. I like the lunch specials I had the curry chicken. There were more veggies and sauce than there was chicken but I can live w it. The regular items are pretty pricey for your typically Chinese restaurant but it is in D/​T so I guess it has to be more expensive. Service was very good and really there is not much else to say. Everything was ok, and just OK! Nothing out of this world!

Most excellent fine dining Chinese restaurant with darker lighting and quiet atmosphere. Egg drop soup, spring rolls and Walnut Shrimp were all top notch. I highly recommend this over the other big box franchise places that surround it.

Stopped in for lunch and was very impressed. The service was excellent and the food arrived quickly and piping hot. I was treated to complimentary house-​made pickles as soon as i sat down. I ordered the spring rolls and the sweet and sour chicken. My meal came with a house salad topped with ginger dressing, and one crab angel. The food was excellent, especially he fried rice which tasted like it had been tossed in sesame oil. I will definitely be coming back!

So it feels like the stars have aligned when some of the best Chinese food around is downstairs from your office. This is a lunchtime favorite for the office and because we live close-​by we come here for drinks some Friday and Saturday nights. Kenny is a gem! The black noodles are delicious, side note: must like onions. My favorite dish is the Szechuan Style String beans with shrimp. If you have time and are in the mood they are definitely worth the trip.

Authentic and wonderfully charmimg. Tucked on a corner in ATL this restaurant will not disappoint. Food is fresh and the service is fast and incredibly friendly. i suggest this with every fiber in my being! Enjoy

HaSues?! Sues?! Whatever the name, what enSUED was a foray into flavor town. 2 appetizers to make a meal with a bowl of fried rice. I was looking forward to the duck dumplings but it was my afterthought of fried Calamari that stole the show. Lightly fried in a tempura batter, the squid was tender & delicious, but the ginger sauce it was served with… OUTSTANDING! It was bright & citrusy a total 180 degrees from marinara. For that I was grateful. The duck dumplings had a plump pocket of moist duck & vegetables, quite flavorful on their own, the sauce just enhanced it. The fried rice although it looked bland, it actually had a nice flavor profile with just the eggs and scallions. Happy I took the walk down the road. Staff was top notch, I can’t see how anyone could complain about a meal or service here.
Friday Update. Yes I went back again. And we ordered some spring rolls which were better than other spring rolls I’ve had, plus we ordered the duck dumplings & Calamari againDON’T JUDGE ME! I’m in a foreign state with no time in between meetings to really travel far to try other places. But shout out to my waiter JUSTIN who was fun, funny, & helpful. He tried to talk me out of getting the Shantung Black Noodles because he didn’t think I’d like it only the «Asians» order it… A LOT! Silly youngster now I really want it. And it was the perfect choice. It was awesome! Noodles with scallops & beef or was it shrimp & pork in a black bean sauce. Justin wasn’t sure & I didn’t care, it was Licious! I told him I’ll meet him at the back door & slide me the noodles after hours. Great food & Better Service again! The extra star was for Justin.

Very nicely decorated, classy restaurant with very good and fairly authentic food. The hot and sour soup was excellent. Lettuce wraps were so-​so. The Peking pork was excellent, as was the XO shrimp. The Hong Kong style pan fried noodles were very good. String beans Szechwan style could have been a bit crispier but were definitely tasty. The chocolate covered fortune cookies were a nice touch.
The staff was efficient and friendly. No attitude at all.
I would return the next time I am in Atlanta.

I was here for Dragon*Con dinner with friends. It is a bit pricy for Chinese food in my opinion, but you pay for what you get. I ordered the String Beans Szechwan Style with Beef. It was really great. Some of the best Chinese food I have had. It was also an ample serving. I don’t recall what everyone else ordered, but it looked great and everyone left happy. I will likely make another visit this fall. I would likely order the same dish again. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. :-)

The food was not very good. The dumplings didn’t seem fresh, and you can find better Chinese food in Montgomery, AL. Also the staff was very rude to my party and another party as well. Also we just noticed a bug in my friend’s drink.

Can’t say more than the 5 star rating. It’s true in every sense of the word. Service, food and drinks are all on point. They are owned by a business savvy women who is a seasoned veteran in the dining industry. If you want to experience some of the best Chinese in the south come to HSU’s!

My mom would take away my Asian card if she knew I liked this place.
Hsu’s is the definition of classy American Chinese food. There’s no smell of grease lingering in the air as you walk in to pick up takeout, or the fear of food (coloring) poisoning.
Catering to the downtown lunch crowd, Hsu’s has a combination lunch that comes in a cute little bento. Rice, entrée, crab rangoon (crab angel), and a small salad for $ 10. Even their entrees are a good deal, $ 8 — $ 15 for a sizable portion. Everyone I know loves the seafood noodle soup (jambong).
I’ve tried the basil chicken and beef. While they are named the same, they are prepared differently. The basil chicken is actually more of a black bean sauce chicken. It comes with green peppers. The basil beef is not as dark and comes with snap peas instead. I didn’t care for the beef much. It was a bit tough and rubbery.
The meal ends with a fortune cookie… Dipped in chocolate. I would eat so many of these if they sold them individually wrapped.

The opinion /​review vs. reality disconnect appears to be expectations…
And I get it — you find a place virtually indistinguishable from the Peachtree Center (address-​wise), with Hsu’s exterior, and you set your tastebuds to divey Amerinese nosh or cheap and convenient take-​away (and there’s nothing wrong with that). After all, they serve crab rangoon — an item that should very nearly qualify as a crime, IMHO, for spots attempting legit Chinese /​Taiwanese /​or other actual Asian flavors.
But if that’s the style food you’re looking for, you’re better off heading into the food court… it’s only about a block away, after all, with several Amerinese takeaway options that aren’t terrible.
Upon entry here, though, you’ll see what I can best describe as traditional white — napkin (a step above white tablecloth) service… and although some aspects of the restaurant are certainly dated (though clean and comfortable), the servers are well-​trained, efficient, helpful, and knowledgeable about what they’re serving.
And that’s the pretty effing great part: the food. Nom. Nom.
They have dishes that capture Hong Kong-​style, Szechuan, Shandong, and Cantonese flavors, along with some Korean flavors — not much that I tried on my recent visit with a large group qualified as Amerinese, with corn-​starch thickened sauces and spaghetti noodles, for example (ick! — nothing of the sort at Hsu’s!). Heat aside (with a couple of Szechuan-​style orders [as you’d expect], a lot of their items are a lot more subtle and/​or understated than you’d expect if seeking Amerinese or even takeout Chimerican. Head-​on fishies, when ordered, served properly (well, at least Taiwan-​style)!!! Erma-​gerd!
Corn soup — soooo good. All three types of dumplings (made just right! But the duck were definitely the best)…Noodles (5 tried — all yum!)…Duck (OMG! — one of us ordered the three item duck menu on our third visit and we all swarmed: he was luck to make it out alive)…Walnut Shrimp: sounds so bad, yet tastes so good! General Tsu’s. Basil dishes. Pork /​Beef Medallion dishes were good, as well.

How did I get to taste so many dishes, more than once, on only three visits in the last eight months? Well, that’s the great thing about Hsu’s — they’re set up for legit service for lucky groups, with dishes served family-​style (on a center lazy susan), which makes it a great place for a collegial /​collaborative working group meal. And they take (and are responsive to — even during high occupancy opportunities) reservations. As regards my service, I don’t know whether the hosts ordered rice separately for everyone, or whether once you order a table full of entrees (even if some individuals order noodle dishes), all get rice — you may want to ask if you’re with a group.
(I do know that if you’re with a small group [i.e. fewer than merits a lazy susan table], they will serve orders as if they are individual, not family-​style, which means no rice for anyone else unless specially ordered.)
Regardless, if you’re looking for a nice, fairly authentic – with diversity of various regional «Chinese» flavors – Chinese (for ATL) meal, with great service… this is your place.
Want a clamshell full of pork fried rice with an egg roll and a vat of sweet and sour sauce? General Tso’s over pork fried rice? Pork ribs, rice, and vat of sweet and sour sauce? Then better to hit up the Peachtree center and get takeaway better suited.

Großartig. Sehr gutes Chinesisches Essen, freundliches Personal. Die Fruhlingsrollen waren erstklassig und auch mein Spicy Chicken war super lecker. Unbedingt empfehlenswert.
