Tasty China, Marietta Georgia

This Sichuan style Chinese restaurant is unlike anything we've encountered....a bit of a region of China not represented well in the US.

The famous Peter Chang has long since come and gone, but he left an indelible mark on this restaurant which has received much recognition among food bloggers (check out Chowhound for the most extensive discussion of this place). Basic Chinese restaurant decor with a sometime fish tank in the front entry, its prices are reasonable and the food delicious. BYOB is allowed with no corkage....a riesling would be most appropriate given the heat of the food.

Here is our short list of items to try...don't miss the first five,,,and if "puffy bread" ever makes it back to the menu, try it as well.

Dried Fried Eggplant (a must, and it must be requested as it does not appear on the menu)
Small Fried Fish
Pork in Garlic Mud (Chinese Pork Belly!)
Green Beans with Olives
Fish/Cilantro Rolls
Roasted Fish with Scallions
Beef Scallions Hot Pot
Chow Fun Noodles
