Urban Hai - Atlanta

Food was incredible, I recommend trying the scallion pancake. Lots of spicy dishes with incredible flavor.

Basic at best. Clearly no one knows how Chinese food should taste.

————(REVIEW UPDATE)–———— I’ve come here multiple times for dinner and special occasions. This time I had an amazing experience great dining environment and friendly workers there. Food is so flavorful and authentic, we got several dishes like: Peking roast duck Spicy chongqin chicken Spicy beef tendon Sweet and sour spare ribs Dragon eggplant in spicy garlic sauce Shredded chicken/pork in spicy garlic sauce Double cooked pork Every single dish was amazing but I highly recommends the Peking roast duck, Dragon eggplant in spicy garlic sauce, and double cooked pork. These were my favorite out of the entire meal we had. ————(BELOW AS OF MAY 2024)–———— Overall the restaurant is spacious and has great environment in the central downtown. Food is good but definitely pricy, and more like small bites style for hangout or special occasion Service is a little slow, but very nice space and environment to get together for a meal with group of friends. · dry fried eggplant: Not very crispy. The eggplant is thinner sliced than other restaurants, otherwise the seasoning is good · duck soup: very flavorful and infused with duck broth. I was expecting actual duck meat but there’s only bits of it, there is glass noodle on the bottom. · Peking duck: flavor of Peking duck is good, though the skin isn’t very crispy. I think it’s not roasted enough because there’s still a lot of fat in between the skin and meat. Make sure to ask for sugar if they didn’t provide it, dipping the skin in sugar is a great combination to try · dry pot: very spicy and numbing, but good flavor and variety in the pot · Chop Bell Pepper Glass Noodle With fish: very authentic in flavor and appearance. An actual whole fish is presented, and the fish meat is very tender, infused with great flavor. Peking duck roll: delicious but I feel like each roll has very minimal portion of duck. I would recommend getting a half duck instead, as you would get the same ingredients but with better price. Lime shredded chicken: this dish feels quite refreshing with the hint of lime flavor, chicken isn’t dry. Love the addition of cilantro to add another layer of refreshing flavor. Cumin lamb: the cumin lab has a different presentation it’s on toothpicks like mini skewers. Portion wise it’s a lot smaller than expected, and the plate is probably 80% seasoning and pepper rather than actual meat. Wouldn’t recommend. Sweet and sour spareribs: love the kick of sourness balanced with the sweetness of sauce.

One dish in and already addicted! Szechuan beef (M2) Authentic flavor US spice index. The service, I don’t know her name but joyful and humorous. I could go on, but just go and taste experience for yourself

I live in Acworth. I drive 45 minutes to downtown just to eat at Urban Hai. It is hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had. Anywhere. I would recommend some dishes, but there's no point they're all amazing. Don't sleep on this place.
