Here is what one reviewer says about Grand China: “I just ate here for the first time today and the food was delicious. I didn’t deserve it. I couldn’t get the food inside my mouth fast enough. The Green curry chicken dish was amazing. I would definitely recommend!”Gu’s Dumplings
99 Krog St NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 | (404) 527-6007
Here’s what one reviewer says about Gu’s Dumplings inside Krog Street Market. “My second time to Gu’s and I’m still impressed. I wish I had a bigger stomach to try it all. The dumplings are classic and delicious with flavors true to China spice. The crispy beef was slightly underwhelming. The portion size was too small for a shareable plate. Will be returning for the dumps ASAP!”Hans Express
2345 Cascade Rd SW, Atlanta, GA 30311 | (404) 755-2807
Here is what a reviewer says about Hans Express: “Han’s is a simple place situated in southwest Atlanta. The prices are incredibly reasonable and the servings are large. My wife and I can typically get two meals from from both the lunch and dinner sized portions. I’ve certainly had better Chinese food, but Han’s is very good and is one of my favorites in Atlanta. I’m not a big fan of the plain fried rice, but for $1.50 more you can upgrade to pork fried rice. In addition, the wings are small but are very much worth the low price.”

Here is what one reviewer says about Fortune Cookie Restaurant: “Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce tasted fresh and flavorful. Eggrolls tasted a little off to me but my dining partner thought they were fine. The staff was courteous and patient given the large number of people in line (they are only doing take out orders at this time). Located in a shopping plaza so parking was plentiful. Wait time was reasonable – great location so I will definitely go back.”
Malaya Restaurant
857 Collier Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 | (404) 609-9991
Here’s what one reviewer says about Malaya Restaurant: “Chinese food… very delicious. Don’t fret if it’s busy, it is worth the wait. The staff was very helpful and observant. It has a great interior. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.”

Here are some safety precautions you need to take:
- Don’t look at the sun with your naked eye.
- Wear sunglasses with protective lenses.
- Don’t stare at the sun just anywhere. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Now let’s get into some fun things to do:
Head To Atlantic Station

Be among the first to receive solar eclipse glasses, enjoy music from a DJ, and savor eclipse-themed drinks at select restaurants. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the wonders of the universe with us—the next solar eclipse won’t occur until August 2044!

Born in Atlanta, tennis sensation Coca Gauff’s ascension in tennis has come from her authenticity and unapologetic acceptance of herself. Nowhere is that more evident than her recent alignment with Carol’s Daughter, a leading hair care company for black women.
The multi-year partnership signals Coco’s first foray with a beauty brand.
“I’m delighted to announce my partnership with Carol’s Daughter,” said Coco. “Their knowledge of natural hair care is unmatched, and I couldn’t be prouder to align with a brand that shares my values. I’m excited to help continue their mission of empowering millions of women and little girls to embrace their curls and coils with pride and authenticity.”
Coco Gauff, a rising star in the world of tennis, has captivated audiences worldwide with her remarkable talent and unwavering commitment to authenticity. At just 20 years old, Coco has already made a significant impact on the sport, notably winning the US Open in 2023.
While competing at the highest level, Coco can be seen sporting protective styles or letting her curls and coils flow freely, Coco is a mirror of a generation that was never afraid to embrace and celebrate their hair texture. Her experimentation with hairstyles reflects her confidence and willingness to challenge traditional beauty standards, inspiring others to do the same. Her poise, strength and unique style have set her apart, making her a role model for aspiring athletes everywhere.
“The power of seeing someone like Coco in the world of tennis, for me, is a testament to the work that has been done before her,” stated Lisa Price, founder of Carol’s Daughter. “While the representation of individuals who resemble us in this sport may be limited, their impact remains pivotal. It breathes life into the timeless adage: ‘If you can see it, you can be it.’ This is what makes this collaboration so special to me. When I started Carol’s Daughter, there was no blueprint for Black hair care brands, but now, 30 years later, the door is open, offering countless options for our hair, our confidence, and our empowerment. In Coco, we celebrate the strength, beauty, and authenticity of all the generations to come.”
Final Word
The Atlanta hair industry is one of the largest in the Southeast, with more than 8 million people getting groomed each month.
But you can do it yourself. All you need are some quality shears and some high-performance clippers to get the job done. Check out our Beauty Page for other ways to get shaped up.

Food critic Keith Lee stopped in Atlanta several months after his original Georgia good tour. While he was supposed to do a food tour proper, he switched things up unexpectedly by making an appearance in the city on Wednesday, April 3, 2024.
“There’s been a change of plans. Let’s talk about it. The next half of the food tour is not Atlanta,” he said. Explaining that he was going to be giving away free food, the Detroit-based food critic said there were some parties that pulled up with the intent to make a dollar and he wanted it made clear that they weren’t with him.
Will he come back to Atlanta for a food tour? We’ll see.
In late March, Lee announced on his Instagram that he and his family will be doing a “Redemption Tour,” for 2024, with Atlanta being the #1 spot on his list.
He stressed that there will be no do-overs, in other words, he won’t be returning to the same restaurants.
“This is a redemption tour: it’s not a good tour, meaning we’re not going to the same spots we went to last time,” he said. “This is a completely fresh slate.”
Things will be a little different though as the Lee family will have security with them this time, he said.
“We come in peace,” he said, a reference to the ruffled feathers that occurred last time he did a food jaunt through the city.
So where should Lee go? He mentioned that his focus this time will be mom-and-pop restaurants and food spots voted on by his followers, so here is a potential list.
What Atlanta Restaurants Should Keith Lee Visit?
K&K Soul Food
881 Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
The original Bankhead Restaurant has been cooking home-style meals for the southwest Atlanta community since the 1960s. Now called K&K Soul Food, the eatery, which has been owned for the same family for 40 years, continues to be a standout spot for cafeteria-style soul food. Today the restaurant is run by Kimario Smith, who took over for his mother and grandmother. With its famed Pork Chop plate and Steak plate both priced at $6.99, K&K Soul Food is one of the cheapest — and best — square meals you can find in Atlanta.
One K & K Soul Food reviewer on Facebook said this: “Good SoulFood. Taste like somebody’s Auntie definitely in the kitchen.”
Buttermilk Biscuits
1634 Virginia Ave, Atlanta, GA 30337
Tucked inside quaint shopping center Virginia Station off in College Park, Buttermilk Biscuits packs a big breakfast punch. Here’s what one reviewer says about Buttermilk Biscuits.
“The Belgian waffles were melt-in-your-mouth wonderful. Fried chicken breast was seasoned and cooked to crisp and juicy perfection, and the grits… I am a grits snob. There are literally only 3 or 4 restaurants in Atlanta that I refer others to when asked.”
Aviva by Kameel Coming To Buckhead
Aviva by Kameel is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Atlanta and expanding to Buckhead.
The menu consists of hormone-free, butter-free food items, along with halal meat and classic salads and vegetables that have been locally sourced.
Kelz Kitchen
Atlanta Locations:
- 156 Forsyth St SW, Atlanta, GA 30303 | (404) 330-8004
- 5015 Old National Hwy A, Atlanta, GA 30349 | (404) 500-2034
If you’re in the mood for some Coastal Carolina goodness, Kelz Kitchen is the place to check out. The eatery has two Atlanta locations.
Here’s what one reviewer says of Kelz Kitchen: “Omg when I tell you the lollipop lamb chops were cooked to perfection and the Salmon was grilled so well. The broccoli was fresh and the corn on the cob was sweet. I also enjoyed the pound cake with a Lemonade. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Food is cooked to orders I recommend ordering online. They only accept debit cards just a heads up.”
Ms. Icey’s Kitchen & Bar
1371 Clairmont Rd, Decatur, GA 30033
The newest soul food spot in Decatur comes from owner and restaurateur Sim Walker, whose New York City rearing comes through in the vibe. Ms. Icey’s, named after Walker’s grandmother, is Decatur’s best-kept secret even though it has quickly become a culturally hip gathering place for those in the know. When cornbread comes in an iron skillet, and oxtails do as well, you know you’re in a foodie’s dream. Not only are many of the dishes a nod to Southern and soul food culture, but the drinks are mostly handcrafted, giving the place an organic life. The sweet potato waffles are to d
Final Word
