La Mei Zi Doraville

I really enjoyed our experience here-- the food was delicious and I think everything was reasonably priced for what we got. They brought out some fresh pickles as an appetizer complimentary (delicious!!) Their hot and sour soup was awesome, and we also tried: 3 cups chicken (we got two orders but could have just done one), Eggplant in garlic sauce with pork, String beans with pork, Hakka stir fry (very good!), and Lo mein with chicken. We also tried one of their hot teas! I think it was chrysanthemum tea, and they brought out rock sugar to go with it (which was awesome!) My mom doesn't care for Chinese food, so she wasn't wild about these dishes. I believe this restaurant is technically Taiwanese, but their food is still essentially Chinese vibes. The rest of us loved all of the dishes and we barely had leftovers!

Food 4/5 This Taiwanese place did not disappoint. Service 3/5 Atmosphere 2/5 I gave 2 because the cushions they have for the customers felt very dirty so I removed it and sat on the wooden bench but I could smell the funk coming from the cushions. I'm pretty do they do not wash them. I pushed the cushions further away from me but I could still smell it. Not a good look for the restaurant.

Located on Asian Square off of Buford Highway in Doraville. This place was a pleasant surprise. It is Taiwanese cusine. The service was good and the food was flavorful too! The setting is cozy with wood benches along the wall. They offer cushions, but those could use a good washing, so it was the wooden bench for us. I ordered the stir fry pork belly and squid with bean curds. Its was pretty tasty and well proportioned. My lady had the 3 cup chicken which was really good as well. Kind of like a generals chicken but not as sweet and nice and crispy. The server was pleasant and friendly. She was helpful with the menu, patient and pleasant. She checked on us often and made sure we always had water. The pricing is also very reasonable and worth every penny. I would definitely recommend La Mei Zi. We will be back to explore the other menu offerings.

My wife’s colleague had recommended this place and sure it met our expectations. The restaurant wasn’t very busy since it was Friday evening on a rainy day. We ordered vegetable hot pot 🍲 and chef’s special - Hakka stir fry pork belly, calamari, bean curd, Chinese chive flower and Taiwanese stir fry rice noodles. All the dishes had distinct taste and flavor profiles. We enjoyed our dinner and will return to try out other dishes.
