I've never heard of a Chinese restaurant saying they can't take orders over the phone but that's no issue. however, if someone calls at 9:25 PM and you tell them that they need to place their order online, you'd think that the person would also tell you that if the order is not placed in the next five minutes that the website will no longer take orders. But no, that's not what happened. Instead, i try to place my order online and the website doesn't allow me to and when i call back, speaking to the same lady, she then tells me "oh, sorry, that happens sometimes with our website." to which i respond, so how can i place my order an she tell me "oh, after 9:30, we stop taking all online orders and it's against our policy to take orders over the phone. so you'd have to come in but our kitchen closes at 9:45 PM." Oh! All of that information would have been helpful if i was not 15 minutes away and speed to arrive right after that point. If you're going to have someone answer calls and have a policy to not take orders over the phone, you'd should probably train them to inform customers that there is also a limitation on when you can place said orders. i don't think that's too much to ask. read more

This place was within walking distance across the street from our hotel. All the menu items they offer can be made to fit either vegan or vegetarian preferences. I ordered Mongolian beef with a vegan meat alternative. This dish did not disappoint. The veggie egg rolls were also satisfying. If you're in the midtown ATL check this place out. read more

I'm giving 4 stars because the service was top notch and the aesthetics in the dining are so dreamy! If I had a film project I'd definitely shoot it in here lol. The food was 3/5 though, not bad but not spectacular. My server was also 5/5 which brought the rating to a 4! I will definitely be back (to take pictures! Lol). read more

Dine In Review Okay, dine in is MUCH better than take out. Cheaper (with 2 soft drinks and a hot and sour soup = $46), and much much fresher. general tso chicken $15: been on a American Chinese kick this past 2 weeks. Got it here and was crunchy, deep fried dark meat, tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce; Dine in special Black Pepper Beef on a sizzling plate $15: a bit oily but good flavor. Still not my fav Chinese nor American Chinese in town, but considering its walking distance from my house, I would come again. read more

So what you got here is an American Chinese joint with actually rather tasty food, fast service, and friendly staff. Hot and sour soup needed a little more zing and the kung pao chicken was on point (though I would have liked more spice on it too). But it was all great and made for the perfect place to dip in for lunch. read more

We also got the dumplings and crab rangoons and the egg rolls and everything was literally was so delicious and such a good price!! They have dine in and have dine in specials so we want to try that but their to go is excellent quick and the staff is super nice!!! 10/10 read more

Walking inside it looks like a cheesy Chinese restaurant, blue/green decor with red accents. I was intimidated where it was at, and thought parking might be tough. For it's location in midtown the parking doesn't get any easier! We ordered to go, and had the Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and General Tso's Chicken with egg rolls. Our two favorites were the Mongolian beef and General Tso's with the sesame chicken a distant 3rd place. Both the Mongolian Beef and General Tso's had flavorful veggies, but didn't scimp on the meat. The portion sizes are awesome! We made 6 meals put of three entrees. And we didn't need the extra rice. Bottom line, I think they executed perfectly American Chinese food. read more

Tastes like frozen meat, with added raw vegetables. Rice tasted like 3-Minute microwave rice. Don't get me wrong it was edible & flavorful. But I couldn't bought it from the frozen section at publix "Innovasian" brand. I was disappointed. The place was empty, but clean. read more

I ordered from here, and got a side of fried rice. Never in my life have I seen fried rice with just soy sauce and rice. There was no egg, no onion, no bell peppers, nothing but rice, fried in soy sauce. It was incredibly disappointing because of how badly I wanted fried rice. I know to stick with my usual spot now. read more

On our way home yesterday from the ATL Jazz Festival we stopped here. I may be a tough critic because I absolutely love Chinese cuisine, but I was really really hopeful that Big Boss would deliver. However I was completely underwhelmed. Although there were so many reviews stating how flavorful the food is, that wasn't our experience. Customer service was great! The young lady who took my order via phone had excellent skills and notated my seafood allergies beautifully. Also, when I approached the counter, they were super friendly. The restaurant was quaint, nothing special but very clean. So though I'll likely not go here in the future, I'm glad we received as y h great service. read more

Simple, delicious, flavorful. Felt like some traditional takeout Chinese food. Good ratings and a simple menu steered me towards Big Boss and they didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh and hot, even though delivered via Uber Eats. They get extra points for throwing in a sticker. I'm a crazy sticker lady! read more

Best Chinese in midtown if not the city. The Mongolian beef is amazing. The place is retro and minimalist but their food is off the chart

I was at a hotel looking for something to eat late-night that delivered. I didn't go to the restaurant, so I can only speak to the food, which was delicious and the portion sizes were large. Would order/go there again. read more

The decor and lighting of this place is really cool! You definitely feel like you're in a new place as soon as you walk in. The food was really good, I would be back. My favorite was the shrimp fried rice! It felt like a real authentic rice with good quality. My least favorite was the crab rangoon, it was kinda bland. The service was okay. But overall I will be back! read more

Decor, lighting, and furniture are all on point - the throwback vibes are definitely there. There's even a vintage arcade machine in the corner and a nice looking merch display case. Menu is small - no frills - yet covers all you really need for the classic Chinese "fast food" / takeout joint. You order at the counter and get a number to put at your table if you choose to dine in. Food was satisfying and came out in under 5-10 minutes. Portion size was decent, more on the smaller end. Each entree comes with white rice. Also there's a 10% off student discount for Georgia Tech students! The sesame chicken was probably the best out of the dishes that my friends and I tried. The breading was crispy and the chicken was juicy. Sauce had a great texture that coated the exterior of each piece but didn't make the dish soggy. Mongolian beef was great and cooked well. The spicy garlic pork wasn't very spicy (had some red chili flakes) but the veggies were sauteed nicely. Service was pleasant and prompt. Will return! read more

When I say the food is BOSS??! The northern United States does not--I repeat, *does NOT*--know how to do food. Ever since moving from my home state of Louisiana in 2018, I've come across one mediocre "top-rated" Chinese restaurant after another, especially in Texas. Now, I have Chinese restaurants here in DC that I frequent, which are really good. But they still don't hold a candle to what we have in my native southeastern U.S. I lived in ATL for a few months a decade ago, and a business trip brought me back in March 2023. In a great hotel room, I wanted some great Shrimp Fried Rice, and Big Boss did not disappoint. The portion was a very nice to-go size, and the side of steamed broccoli was as fresh and crunchy as ever. Pigging out over the city lights of Midtown, I had to stop myself so that I'd have some left for later in the night. This was, by far, the best Shrimp Fried Rice I've had in more than 5 years. But considering where I was, I'm not surprised. I can still taste the shrimp, of which there were plenty. My morning flight got cancelled because of the big storm, and I was so disappointed that they were closed on Mondays. I mean, my stomach was RUMBLING! But I'll be back in the same hotel on nearly the same weekend next year, and Big Boss is the only place I'm thinking about food-wise. Shrimp Fried Rice: $17.50 Side of Steamed Broccoli: $3.75 Special thanks to Brad with Uber Eats. read more

I live right next to this restaurant and for many this is a midnight run for dinner. Recommend order to go. The sitting area is not clean and the staff is very low. All the general and popular Chinese food nothing new. The only difference is that this place made an effort to market to Genz with neon lights and bold marketing read more

Despite the quick, friendly customer service the food is AUTHENTIC chinese food. It's hard to find good Chinese restruants with quality food, but this restaurant is the best one I've had in years. my favorite thing to get is the VEGGIE Egg rolls. read more

Just a place w subpar Chinese food tryna mooch off hardworking college kids and locals who work nearby. The guy who placed my order over the phone had a bad attitude as if he didn't want to be there. Leave! it's plenty of other places in Atlanta to work. $8 for "sauteed broccoli w chicken" (chicken with broccoli, they spruce up the name to make it seem like an unconventional Chinese carryout experience) and it tasted like reheated leftovers & didn't even come with rice. I added rice for an extra fee & the rice was overcooked. Won't be returning. read more

Big Boss is pretty good Chinese for Atlanta. Best thing is their beef and broccoli- such tender and delicious beef. Note that their fried chicken tends to have a VERY thick breading, so I don't enjoy their sesame / general Tso's chicken. read more

Love the old 70s restaurant vibes too. read more

I can honestly not say enough about this restaurant. Between the amazing friendly service to incredible food. Located on 10th and spring street it is easily accessible with plenty of parking. Let's talk food on my travels home. I recommend the Crab Rangoon. While stuck in traffic these tasty bites make the drive home simple. Main course : Mongolian beef is my go to. The first time I ordered it to be honest.... I ate the entire thing. Full of tender bites. I am in absolute love. Big enough to share. Overall: this place never disappoints is truly amazing and you will never be disappointed. I'm finally sold on Chinese. Do yourself a favor and enjoy. read more

Heard about this spot opening up. I feel like a Chinese food spot was needed in midtown - I see a lot of ramen and poke spots but not Chinese takeout. My sister said that folks in her building liked this spot so we decided to try it. The ambience is very old school Chinese takeout restaurant like ones in nyc. There is a cool fish aquarium and a nice little sitting area if you are waiting. There are also plenty of booths and tables to sit at. I like that their chopsticks gave their name and address and stuff in the label. Anyone know what the art says on their walls or on the chopsticks? I'm just curious what they wrote on their decor and chopstick wrappers. There is a bar and bubble tea machine in development. I would give the service a 1-2 (maybe a 3) out of 5. The service in the front was OK. I wish they had a menu that was also printed because my sister is visually impaired and couldn't read the menu hanging up on the wall. Ladies in the front weren't mean either, just meh. They seemed bored. The guy who was serving the food seemed efficient and would mark to make sure what we got on the ticket for our table, but he forgot to give us a second plate for our lo mein. He seemed confused when I asked, but wouldn't you want your own plate if the entree was going to be shared for 2 (and even came with a serving spoon?)? We did not get rabbit candies with our meal either... IDK if we went on a bad day or what but the service was lacking. The food itself was pricy, but the portions were big. Everything was tasty and came out quickly. There are vegetarian options too. I will say 7 bucks for soup at a Chinese restaurant is really expensive... I would definitely get takeout here again but the service sucked. Even my sister mentioned why did we not get a plate for the it even comes with a serving spoon?... this place seemed super busy with takeout orders so maybe that's the way to do it. read more

I had the longest day at work and wanted something tried and true so decided to get some Chinese food. Big Boss came up and I decided to give it a shot. If you drive too fast you will definitely miss this location as it's in a little cut and there's no parking. I decided to order my Chinese food stable chicken and broccoli. I was in between egg rolls and crab Rangoon. I asked the server and he stated that the crab Rangoon was pretty good. Got home and when I opened the crab Rangoon my heart sank. I hoped that I was judging to quickly but it wasn't good. Definitley a sugar bomb and not a piece of crab in site. The broccoli and chicken was hot and fresh however not the same sauce that in use too. It tasted off and left a weird aftertaste. Overall I've had better since I've been in ATL so I will stick to them. read more

Food 4/5, Service 5/5 I called to place a takeout order. The staff was kind and efficient. When I picked up my order, the staff informed me about a student discount which was greatly appreciated. They were friendly and prompt when handling payment and retrieving my food. I got General Tso's Chicken and Crab Rangoons. The chicken included green bell peppers, onions, and carrots. It came with a side of rice. The vegetables were great, they were fresh and crisp. The chicken was not soggy but not crunchy. It was maybe slightly overcooked but did not detract from my experience. The sauce was mild, it was not too sweet or spicy. I would have preferred more aggressive flavors but it wasn't bad. Other reviews claimed the sauce came separate for takeout orders but it was already mixed into mine which may have compromised the texture of the breading. There was a good amount of rice and nothing else to note about it. The General Tso's Chicken was slightly lower than my expectations but I was still satisfied. The Crab Rangoons included 5 pieces and sweet and sour sauce. The were essentially fried wontons with cream cheese. I did not taste a discernable crab flavor. There was plenty of sauce to be split among the five pieces. The Cran Rangoons met my expectations. The portions were large and I was full. I think the value was good. I was pleasantly surprised with the high chew candy and sticker they included in the bag. Overall the food was good and service was excellent. I wish I had tried it earlier and would try other dishes from here in the future. read more

For years I've been asking, what would it take to have a great Chinese takeout place in Midtown? I mean, how hard it could it be? Big Boss might be our answer! Housed in the former Chinese Buddha space on 10th Street, this place is owned by the talented son of the woman who ran that restaurant for many years. The place has a great vibe & here's what leapt out at me from the cool electronic menu: - Egg Roll - Crab Rangoon - General Tso's Chicken - House Fried Rice - Chicken Lo Mein - Spicy Garlic Pork - Chicken Fried Rice So, basically, Chinese comfort food! read more

Atlanta may be the hardest place to find NYC styled Chinese food. I had high hopes for this place for some reason even though its brand new lol. The Instagram ads just caught my attention tbh. 1. Location - They are downtown.. located at what used to be Chinese Buddha. They have designated 2hr parking free. 2. Customer Service- AMAZING! The cashier was super helpful and friendly and so were everyone working as 2 employees greeted me. Currently they are takeout only but they have alot of seating for whenever they open it up. The decor gives me upscale Chinese Restaurant vibes 3. THE FOOD - Let me start off by saying, whenever i do food reviews, I always try to eat the food immediately to give a proper review so i ate this food in my car. I ordered General Tso Chicken & Crab Rangoon. The General Tso Chicken was just OK. Definitely not the best nor was it the worst. It honestly tasted NOTHING LIKE GENERAL TSO CHICKEN. There was no spice & chicken was soggy . General Tso chicken is one of my favorite Chinese dishes so i was super disappointed. They also only serve it with white rice. You cant substitute that for any other rice or side not even for an up charge (i tried). The Crab Rangoon should just be called Cream cheese puffs or something cause their wasn't a bit of crab in them.. they were decent though. 4. PRICE - So again.. i ordered General Tso Chicken w/ white rice & Crab Rangoon. At a typical Chinese spot id expect to pay around $15 maximum (with fried rice lol). This order came up to $21.08! I 100% wouldn't mind that price if the food was delicious however im quite mad I wasted my money. 5. FINAL REVIEW - Since they are new, i still recommend giving them a try but definitely skip the General Tso unless you like it soggy & the Crab Rangoon unless you don't like Crab. I personally will only return after seeing how they do overtime! read more
