New Paradise

This place has been here longer than most food bloggers have been alive. This rundown shack has been the redheaded stepchild of Chino restos on Buford Hwy for ages and ages. Rumor has it that General Sherman stopped in here for a quick bite before his March to the Sea. He left this building standing because he haven't had decent Chinese for over a year since his marching orders came in. He really missed the soup dumplings at Joe's Shanghai and dim sum at Nom Wah Tea Parlor in NYC. And this made him happy. I concur.

Enough of the history lessons... No one really cares about a Union General fucking up the South in all sorts of fuck, but General Tso's is a whole different story (Necks lurv Tso's cheekan). No, I didn't order that dish but it was close. Take a gander at what I did get. Woulda made my pal, The Sherminator, proud.


Cantonese style fried chicken. Bitch, look at it... Tis was guud. Crispy thin skin, moist and juicy inside. Can not go wrong with this dish. I get the fried chicken every time I'm here... Or when I'm at Popeyes, but that's another story.


Sour mustard with beef tripe. They don't skimp on the tripe. Shit was tender and flavorful with the sour mustard and black bean. Couldn't stop eating it. Get it whities.


Eggplant with salted fish and chicken bits. Hot boiling cauldrons of love are always dericious and this one didn't fail to please either. But I did wish this came out lave hot vs. just Crockpot hot. Eggplant works so well in these cooking vessel because it soaks up every last bit of flavor of whatever crap you throw in there with it. Hell, if you paired it with Bald Eagle thighs and Orca fin, you would have an award winning dish. Mmm, I'm making that tonight!

This joint is still kind of a hidden secret after all these years, it ain't the fanciest or the prettiest but when you want some decent and consistent Cantonese morsels, stop in and get yo grub on.

2 Stars.
