Veteran restaurateur Fan Zhang is planning to open his latest authentic Chinese eatery, The Dumpling Factory, in West Midtown Atlanta, AtlantaFi.com has learned.
Zhang has had major success at Northern China Eatery located on Buford Highway, and now wants to expand his business.
When Is The Dumpling Factory Opening in Atlanta?
The Dumpling Factory is opening in Atlanta in June 2024, according to news reports. The establishment will be located in the space formerly occupied by Boxcar Betty, which is closing down.
Dumplings are an Asian staple, so we are excited to see how Zhang will make the tasty dish more accessible here in metro Atlanta.
On the website of the Northern China Eatery, Zhang gives us his clearest vision yet of what to expect when it comes to his dumplings.
“Tianjin and Beijing is the birthplace of all dumplings and buns,” the website says. “The shape of the dumpling is the gold and silver currency that ancient Chinese would use, so when you eat it, it gives you good luck. Dumpling is a must have meal at 12 am on Chinese New Year day but you can get them year-round at Northern Chinese Eatery.”
Final Bite
Asian restaurants used to be far and few between in Atlanta, but that’s no longer the case.
The ATL has other cool eateries as well. If you’re gluten-free, there’s plenty of options. Same goes for keto-friendly restaurants or Asian fare in Atlanta.
