Restaurants Excellent Chinese alert!: Taipei Restaurant

Posted by Besha Rodell on Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 8:47 PM

While searching for a totally different restaurant today, I stumbled upon this brand new Szechuan place on Buford Highway near Pleasant Hill Road. The sign says Taitpei, but that's a mistake (the manager said it will soon be corrected). The small room is barely adorned, and they've only been open a week, but I'd say get there as soon as possible — the food is complex, balanced, and wholly delicious.

The friendly manager was hugely pleased to have adventurous American diners, and immediately directed us to some of the weirdest and spiciest dishes they had (the heat was pretty tame compared to some other Szechuan places). If you go, be sure to ask his opinion on what to eat — he'll be thrilled. I tried a fantastic dish of delicate, spicy pork kidney, and a fluffy egg omelet with shrimp and a sweet spicy garlic sauce.

There'll be more on Taipei in the upcoming weeks in the food section, but don't wait for the formal review — go now. It's located at 3940 Buford Highway NW (up in Duluth), and the phone number is 678-584-5651.

They don't take credit cards - not until next Tuesday or so - and they don't know where an ATM is. And the people at the gas station next door don't know where an ATM is. Just so you know.

We got money at the ATM at the gas station next door. It's in the back right. They also have really cheap gas there while you're at it.

Huh. I would have thought they (the gas station employees) would have known that (about the ATM in the back). I wonder what they would have said if we'd asked where we could buy some gas!

The phone No of Taipei Restaurant has been changed to 770-418-1382. It is really a place to go!
