Don't do it! It's sustenance - that's the nicest thing I can say about it. We tried Asian Chao because Gate D had the worst, unhealthy and overpriced food options. It was dinner time 6:30pm so we did not have much of a choice. Asian Chao is a pre-made buffet option spooned out by the staff. It did not look fresh and the meat looked dry and tough. But I was not in the mood for our other options of deep fried chicken chain food so I ordered beef with broccoli and fried rice for around $13. The meat was as bad as it looked - there wasn't much so I was able to eat around it. The broccoli was fairly good and not soggy or overcooked. The sesame chicken was also pretty bad and only half eaten. The only good thing I can say is that you won't get sick. read more

This is located beside Gate A1. Service was quick. There was no line at about 8PM on a Wednesday. The lo mein and General Tso's chicken were alright. The food was not bad but not the best either. It was filling and convenient. read more

The chicken I received was basically all breading and sauce with barely any actual meat inside. It was really disappointing, especially considering how much you expect to get for what you're paying. When I brought it up and asked for a refund, the employee was extremely rude and dismissive. She tried to justify it by giving me a "sample," but of course she picked out one piece that actually had chicken in it--which just proved my point even more that the rest of my order didn't. Instead of listening or trying to make things right, she acted like I was the problem. The customer service was honestly just as bad as the food. Overall, a frustrating experience from start to finish, and definitely not somewhere I'd want to return to. Also the peas and carrots in the fried rice was still hard. read more

Asian Chao - Orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was in between flights. I needed to get a bite to eat. So, I came here to get rice and veggies. The Asian lady was so kind, polite, and beautiful. She had on her make up so nice and appealing. I complimented her and she complimented me right back. I went to my terminal to wait for my next flight. I ate every bite! It was very delicious. I went back to her to tell her that I enjoyed the food. She smiled and thanked me for letting her know my thoughts. I will come back here again, when I go through this airport. read more

Mediocre at best. I only got in this line because it was the shortest and I guess I know why. Only 4 dishes to choose from. Fried rice May as well have been white rice- no flavor. I added duck sauce. I chose orange chicken because they just put it out- the other stuff didn't look great. Service was fine, despite the gal at checkout having no personality. I guess we're already paying so why does she need to have one? read more

Asian Chao - Orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We were here on a Saturday morning waiting for our flight to Denver. We had to leave early so we didn't get a chance to eat before getting to airport. All of the restaurants in Concourse B that were open had long lines, except for this one. That should have been a warning. I ordered the avocado toast with egg and 2 sausages. You would have thought they had to pick the avocado and wait for the hen to lay an egg with how long I had to wait after paying! Almost 20 mins!!! And the food wasn't great at all! I could barely get through the toast and the meat was way too salty! Writing this review to help me (and you!!!) remember to not stop here again! read more

Asian Chao is a disgusting place in the airport. Bad food and very bad prices. Worst thing to eat there. Garbage. Totally not worth it at any price. Few Asian choices are in the airport. In Terminal A is this. To be honest there's not much better in this terminal. It's not cheap. Though it tastes cheap so it's a ripoff. I had the Mixed Vegetables because that was the only vegetarian choice. It's about $9 for some mediocre broccoli, carrots, and onions. The sauce is disgusting and salty. It doesn't even comes with rice, which you have to pay extra to get. There's not much else there. Small portions. Tastes old and like they haven't put in any seasoning. Bring food to the airport. It's better. Totally a waste. read more

Asian Chao - Mixed Vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Asian Chao was terrible. I didn't get what I ordered--or maybe I did and it looked and tasted so bad that it was unrecognizable. Stay safe and avoid the food at all costs. read more

I've been to Asian Chao in a couple different airports now, and honestly it's exactly what you think it would be - a carbon copy Americanized Chinese joint. Did I know this? Yes. Did I care? No. Sometimes after a long flight, you will take the first thing you can find, no matter how good or bad it may be. I had an evening layover in ATL and most of the fast food places were closing for the evening. Asian Chao still had a decent line, but it was all I had time for. They were about to close and didn't have much left, only selling what was available - which wasn't much. The food was fine, exactly what I expected. It gave me dinner and that was all that I needed. read more

The food was good and the service was good but the food could be fresher. It's worth a try but don't expect the best Asian you have ever had. read more

I would not recommend this place at all. The workers are miserable, nasty, and just straight rude. There was a woman dishing out the food and she literally gave me one scoop of rice for a combo plate I ordered. She had the audacity to get an attitude when I asked for just rice because I don't eat meat. She gave me a heavy sigh, rolled her eyes and said in a very aggressive tone "Do you want me?" I just said to the bobblehead "I DON'T EAT ME." She was the worst person to have to encounter. If you know your ass is miserable quit because you're in a customer service position and customers are going to have questions and they are going to order what they like and eat. Then I get to the register to pay and the guy asked "Do you want a bag?" I said "Yes... Please." He then immediately went on to tell me how he doesn't like people because they don't treat him right working there. Why did I need to know that as a customer? I was a bit confused on that. This particular location is a dump and the workers aren't worth the few dollars they are making. Just straight piss poor service for food that taste disgusting. read more

Food wasn't bad at all but I could tell it was not made very fresh - still came piping hot, so much so that a customer complained! read more

Sitting at the Atlanta Airport county tiles on a layover. Got a little hungry and figured keeping it simple. Well, maybe to simple here. The food looked so so, and the white rice, I am pretty sure, was Jazmin rice. Ok, if you are a fan of it, but give a guy a warning because I am not a fan. However, try the wings. Just the wings - not bad. Adios from the ATL. read more

Breakfast review! The bacon and eggs were very good and much needed while waiting in the airport after a redeye. Also, the bill was reasonable and they opened a little before 6am, which I appreciated since everything else opened at 6 or 6:30am. read more

DON'T EAT IN THIS PLACE THEY ARE THIEVES !! They STOLE my credit card information when I paid for my food here , a few minutes later while still in traffic on a freaking airplane they had already started using it , they are thieves !!!! It's already been reported to the property authorities . read more

I know no one goes to the airport and checks yelp to see where to eat. The airport is like a social experiment you are trapped in and have to see how to survive. But people really SHOULD check yelp for the restaurants at the airport because it will save you money and a lot of pain. Before boarding my flight home I needed to eat something so I looked around at restaurants in my terminal. I only had a very limited amount of time so I couldn't wait long or go to another terminal. I stopped at a Popeyes who's food while not the best for you is freshly made. The Popeyes line was crazy long because of the whole chicken sandwich thing that's been all over the news so I didn't have time to get food there. Across from Popeyes is this Chinese food restaurant. I thought okay, I can deal with some mall type Chinese food. I was the only person in line and when I ordered the woman behind the counter rolled her eyes at me and then slopped my food in the container like she was feeding a sow. If I didn't know better you would have thought we knew each other and she had a personal grudge against me, that's how bad it was! She didn't even attempt to mix the buffet style plates and threw a huge piece of rice that was from the corner of the container into my box. The rice was hard as a rock. The food was really bad. The chicken seemed to be old and refried multiple times. I picked out the veggies and ate some of the rice and threw it away. When I got home I got the worst case of food poisoning ever. It made me sick as a dog. You are better off taking thirteen $1 bills and throwing them in the toilet one by one that eating at this place! Unless you want to sit on the toilet for the next 2 days! read more

Asian Chao - Chunk of old rice that was slopped in my plate - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

No one expects a good meal at an airport, but also no one expects fraudulent charges at an airport. I ordered an entree size of sesame chicken here and the cashier charged the price of a meal with noodles or rice. I insisted that I did not order a meal in which the extremely rude cashier had told me that it was the right price despite what the menu said. She then said that the person serving the food didn't know what he was doing and that it was just too bad, not even offering a price adjustment. As I continued to argue, she looked at me with disbelief to other customers in line. I demanded a refund to her disdain. Don't eat here unless you want a headache. read more

The smells pulled me in and the taste left me disappointed for my entire flight. Friendly staff but below average Chinese food. The spring roll was probably the best thing I had but they're probably frozen. Don't waste your time, there are a plenty of restaurants at ATL. read more

Does authentic Chinese food included bugs? Cause... if so then I got it. Half way through my meal I found this lil guy (pictured). Not positive what it is, but definitely a bug of some sort... legs and all. While I'm thankful for a refund and a bottle of water (which I asked for btw) I will never be eating here again. The food is also salty and my rice was in chunks, so flavor and texture of the food is off. So, I don't think I'll be eating Chinese period for while. read more

This was the worst airport food I've ever had. Gristle and bone particles in half of the very few pieces of chicken. The lo mein noodles were rubbery. I had to throw it away, I just couldn't eat it. read more

I went to the one in Terminal B. Growing up on Chinese food, this is more of a Panda Express. I was prepared to hate it but it was this or the soul food takeout right next to it or Wendy's. I took a chance, and as I stood in a fairly slow moving line thanks to us one guy doing all the scooping and the lady boss manning the cashier, I looked at the most unappetizing looking Americanized Chinese food. I had a fun chat with the lady behind me who was a former restaurant health inspector. We both agreed that both the guy server and the lady at the cashier should both be wearing hair nets. The guy had his mask pulled slightly down his nose. Just trying to be honest, and under all normal circumstances, I would have run a mile. But I knew that if I didn't get any food, I wasn't getting any dinner that night because my next flight would get me into our destination at 11pm. I got the three item combo - lo mein, Thai spicy chicken and the wings. The wings were not good...dry. While the lo mein looked dry, it was actually probably the best lo mein I've had from those fast food Chinese places. I had the Thai spicy chicken over the noodles which was a great taste, albeit a bit too spicy. I liked it so much that I kept the leftovers...another unusual move for me because i hate leftovers. One and done is my usual philosophy on food. Because of the lines and lack of restaurant options, the food was pretty fresh vs. sitting under the heating lamps for a while. While I was in that long line, I saw them replenish the food a couple of times. Am I expecting this to be the same next time I come through...probably not but worth another try. read more

The absolute worst Asian food I've ever had. Even getting a fresh dish didn't help. The fried rice tasted like coffee grounds.

Please wait in the long Wendy's line. Went to this place because there was no line. Food looked and tasted ok, but that all changed when I got home. Stayed on the toilet all night. My body was very achy and weak. Ended up going to the hospital to get an IV. It was absolutely awful. Good thing I didn't have work the next day. This place needs to be shut down. read more

Barely fucking edible. A giant salt lick of fat and grease with zero chicken hidden in the ample breading. Wish I'd read the reviews before subjecting myself to this disgusting excuse for food. I'm 100% planning to be violently I'll shortly. read more

Regretting the scrambled eggs and coffee I just bought from here. Neither are good but they were cheaper than the other eateries in this side of the airport. Still, I should have just spent a few more dollars so that I could actually enjoy my food/drink. read more

So I was apprehensive about eating here in the first place because no one has ever given me good reviews about it but when my co worker said they have a good breakfast and you get real eggs instead of the powder ones like most places in the airport. I ordered 2 eggs with cheese and potatoes.. and I wasn't right for 2 full days. I will never ever eat here again!!!!! read more

Wow, I thought this place gave a generous portion of food. Guess what? $8.97 one item combo, came with a very small plate not even enough for one person. Ordered spicy tofu with only 7 pieces of tofu inside and the rest are bellpepper, they should instead advertise it as spicy bellpepper with tofu on the side... Either I got tricked by the employee that needs to be fired, or they really stingy with the food. Look at the size of the plate compared to the receipt and the chopsticks. Either way they won't have any customers if they keep doing what they are doing. read more

This place is kinda like Panda Express, only worse. Like maybe they picked through Pandas garbage, heated it up and served to you. I couldn't even eat more than a few bites. read more

I wanted to stop here in a different terminal on the way down, but they were out of several things and seemed unorganized. On the flight back home, my husband stoped here and grabbed some spicy tofu. Service was swift and sweet, the area seemed clean and my husband said the food was "ok". I had a bite and it was spicier than I needed at the moment, so I passed.... which was a good thing because he said it was REALLY hot - something he rarely says. It wasn't fabulous, but for airport food, it was ok. Well probably stop again read more

I was only able to eat half of my food. The lo mein and General Tsao Chicken were both salty with a bitter aftertaste. The chicken was a bit more bearable. The cashier was also on her device while checking me out. I don't mind that one as much as not being able to enjoy all my food between flights. The orange chicken and the steamed rice was enjoyable. read more

I didn't eat here - but they are VERY rude. I asked for some ice for water bottle and they said they had to charge me full price. Whatever.

Against my better judgment I decided to get a quick bite at this place between flights. It didn't look good , but there were not many choices near my gates. Let me say it tasted as bad as it looked! Move on, walk father up the terminal or go hungry. Yuck! read more

It was food. It was fast. The noodles were good. The sesame chicken was overly sweet. Like super sweet. They could tame down the corn syrup in the sauce. I didn't feel great after I ate, because of the amount of sugar. I should have asked for the least sweet option available, I guess. read more

The other day I was thinking that it had been a while since I'd had Chinese food. After eating here, it's still been a while as this certainly didn't qualify. I was hoping that as time passed this place would improve but clearly that isn't the case. Pitiful is one word to describe it. Terrible is another. The previous reviewers are right - the food has no taste. None! I don't ever remember eating "fried rice" and not being able to differentiate it from white rice. And the worst part is that there were little pieces of carrots and egg in essentially white rice doused in soy sauce. I tried to order the teriyaki chicken but the grill had just closed. So, I had to settle on the general Tso's chicken. At least that's what they called it. It was just some partially fried chicken (maybe) drenched in a brown semi-sweet sauce. I did something I almost never do - got food at a place without consulting Yelp first. After ordering, I opened Yelp and to my dismay, this is what I saw - 1 and 2 star reviews. Well, I guess that's what I get! read more

Dreadful. Whitney B. opines that "it's Chinese food in an airport, what do you expect?" It's that kind of stupid attitude that gets us bad food. If you refuse to eat at a place like that, they'd either have to improve or close up - either way we would win - instead of eating shitty food. As someone who loves authentic Asian food - having been born and spent the first decade of his life in Asia - I can appreciate - when circumstances dictate - a "Panda Express" experience. This is like "Crap Express." No good. Food has sat there for way too long and is carelessly cooked with an overabundance of sauce. There's the wrap place and the hot dog place and the southern food place all next door. Get those, not this. read more

On a dash from gate to gate at the world's busiest airport I wanted a quick fix for the hunger pangs I was feeling. I had several choices and chose Asian Chao. The food is presented cafeteria style so you can see your desired dish right before your eyes! I decided to go healthy and ordered the broccoli and beef sans rice or noodles. I was being very good! The food was very hot and smelled very good. The taste was good and the broccoli and carrots were cooked to perfection. The beef was a slightly different story. While it had a very tasty flavor, it was too tough to consume. I was only able to eat a couple pieces, but thank goodness that was all I needed since there was lots of broccoli and carrots. The spicy chicken would have been a better choice since my coworker ordered it and enjoyed it. Next time I'll eat more chikin'! read more

I regret eating here and may self-induce vomiting if I start to feel sick. I had the beef with broccoli and I'm not sure why I had more than one bite - I think ATL might have one less kitty cat running around. Food looks bad, smells bad, and literally has no taste. I would go hungry before I would eat here again. read more

Starving? Need a quick bite to eat and you don't have much time? Well keep on starving cause your body will thank you for skipping out on this place. I have very low expectations for these Asian fast food restaurants. Somehow they managed to do worse. The entire menu is literally just salt. And at a certain point you don't know what kind of meat you're eating. Chicken? Beef? Lamb? Probably all of them mixed together. If you're ever thinking about trying this place, go next to the cash register and grab a pocket of salt. Rip open the packet and empty it in your mouth. Salty? Terrible? Yes. Well that's exactly what you're getting with food at this place. read more

Great food. Spicy Thai dish. Fast line. Nice service. Will come here again. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Xxxxxx
