Chinatown Food Court

Yes, everyone all knows Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market as the real food halls in Atlanta but fuck that noise, the people in the know will always consider the Chinatown Food Court as the OG of food halls in Atlanta. When I say OG, I meant it in the literal sense... This food court is like a prison yard where all the gangs stay in their area. You got the Orphans and Boppers on the Top One Gourmet and Yanmi Yanmi side, the Furies and Rogues in the middle with China Kitchen and Chong Qing, and then the Warriors and Riffs on the other end with Hong Kong BBQ... It's like a turf war up in this piece... Can you dig it? ...Why am I wasting my time on this blog again? This is the stupidest blog ever.
Ok, this food court is not a hotbed of rival gang activity but it's obvious where the good shit is located by how close certain groups of people are huddle up next to. The Chinos love HK BBQ and Chong Qing while the Chicos love Top One Gourmet and Yanmi Yanmi and the roundeyes are just sprinkled throughout the place because they are dazed and confused... It's funny to see the blatant segregation by choice but it's a harmonious environment in here... Rodney King would be so proud to see everyone getting along and he would absolutely love the cheekan wangs and flied lice combo at Top One Gourmet... Get some fried intestines on the side, too, bro.
I was running around getting shit done in the area and I needed to eat something on the quick and cheap... So, I stopped in for a quick bite because it's always dependable, tasty and affordable. But of course, the pouch just can't eat like a normal person with one stomach, it has to eat like a cow with four stomachs... Look away when the pouch eats... It's udderly disgusting and make sure your children keeps their hands and feets as far away as possible. I just got a bunch of different shit from each stall. It's time to feed...

Xiao Long Baos.

Scallion Pancakes.

Beef Chowfun, wet style.

Fried Fish with egg and green peas gravy rice plate.

Dan Dan Noodles.

Mixed up but not very spicy.

Pork with String Beans.

BBQ Pork.

House Lo Mein.

Still one of the best options to grab some incredibly tasty grub on the cheap. I didn't do any spicy fish in hot oil on this visit because I had more shit to do afterwards and crapping my underpants was not on the agenda. But I'll be back when I have more time to digest and process the tasty Sichuan grub up in this piece... And I'll never use the bathroom in here because the sink faucets don't match. Go around the block to Southbound, their bathroom is much nicer to mess up... But grab a whiskey cocktail first so you can say you're a customer. Splash.
