Stop #2 on our first annual dumpling crawl brought us to Gu's Dumplings. Naturally, we had to try all three varieties--pork, chicken, and veggie. Honestly? They were just fine. The dipping sauce was okay, but nothing really stood out. For a place with "dumplings" in the name, we expected a bit more wow factor. That said, the veggie dumplings were the most flavorful of the bunch and ended up being my favorite. The rest of the menu looked promising, so I might come back to try something else--but if you're here just for the dumplings, temper your expectations. It's a walk up counter in a 'food hall' so the ambiance was kind of young and fun, and the guys behind the counter were pretty nice, but I can't justify more than three stars. read more

What makes this a $19 dish?! Literally chicken broccoli and sauce. No rice. No noodles. Oh and there's a teeny tiny disclaimer at the bottom of the menu stating that the meals do not come with rice that the cashier showed me after I said something about it. read more

Quick and easy ive been enjoying this place for years best dumplings ive ever had. A little pricey however there is no compare on the flavor of these dumplings For their consistency however they're getting 5 stars read more

So as far as dumpling spots go, I can see why this is rated in the top spots for Atlanta. Now they sell more than dumplings, but I came for the dumplings. And I've had their pork dumplings before at a different location, but I was with one of my friends who pork is not in their diet and I wanted them to be able to try the dumplings so I did order the chicken dumplings. And I have to say the chicken dumplings were also very good, but I do prefer the pork dumplings. I feel that they have a little bit more flavor but nonetheless, they were very good. The staff was friendly and this was in a small food court with open air because they had garage door openings to let the fresh air in. Always enjoy their dumplings will be back for more. read more

Came back with a friend who recommended trying the spicy dried eggplant. This one plate was $17. Gu's is a bit more on the expensive side in general, but this much for dried eggplant was questionable. It honestly wasn't spicy or that flavorful, just tasted like fried salty eggplant. I wouldn't try this again. read more

These dumplings are outrageously yummy! We have been back 3 times and only want to pork and chicken dumplings! They are incredible. I mean, just thinking about them makes my mouth water! The sauce is the perfect amount of spice and the servings are generous - 6+ dumplings in each order that totally fill you up. I love the whole Halcyon food court vibe - upscale, of course! Everyone is super friendly and we will be back soon to try...dumplings again! M read more

I've tried the Halcyon Gu's twice now and have been disappointed with the quality of the food both times. I'm a fan of the one at Krog Street. Halcyon is disappointing. read more

The sauce that comes with the dumpling were delicious. It was sweet and spicy. The dumplings was a little hard and doughy in texture. The filling inside didn't have any flavor to it. The homemade sauce was really the star of the show. I've had way better dumplings. read more

Gu's Dumplings - Spicy Dried Eggplant - Szechuan Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Gu's Dumplings is located inside the Halcyon food hall. I ALWAYYYYSSSS get the pork dumplings and love the sweet and spicy sauce. They're served with minced garlic, sesame seeds and green onions. Soooo good! You can order 6 dumplings for $10 or 12 dumplings for $15 which is pretty steep but they're actually worth it. The staff is friendly, and service is very quick, but can get very busy around lunch time. ESPAÑOL Gu's Dumplings se encuentra dentro del salón de comidas Halcyon. SIEMPRE pido los dumplings de cerdo y me encanta la salsa dulce y picante. Se sirven con ajo picado, semillas de sésamo y cebollas verdes. Super ricos! Puedes pedir 6 dumplings por $10 o 12 dumplings por $15, lo cual es bastante caro pero realmente vale la pena. El personal es amable y el servicio es muy rápido, pero puede estar muy ocupado a la hora del almuerzo. read more

I recently ordered this from uber eats. Good flavors and variety. I wish it was cheaper for the quantity they give. I definitely recommend going for the large or you're gonna be hungry. read more

My FAVORITE dumpling spot. I Uber eats this to my home soooo much it's ridiculous. My husband has a very bland (basic) taste pallets and he's not super into all the Asian foods I've introduced him too but these dumplings ARE IT for him. As long as they're extra spicy lol My kids love the beef and rice bowls. It's full of flavor! 10/10 recommend. read more

Avoid this restaurant unless you want food poisoning, which I received after ordering their dumplings. I have eaten here several times before, but noticed a big delay in receiving my order and then ended up being hospitalized with extreme food poisoning. The manager refused to address the situation or offer a refund. If you look at the Forsyth County health ratings they have been cited several times for improper food, storage and temperatures. read more

Absolutely disgusting. Old cold rubbery inedible! I won't not feed this to an animal. Don't know how they are still in business! read more

Gu's Dumplings - Worse than microwave chicken - Szechuan Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Ordered the half order of dumplings (6) for the two of us to each have 3 We Got them in a Togo container. We ate them at the food court there. After eating a couple we realized there was only 5. We told them but they didn't seem to care. Had we known they either didn't really come with 6 and they just forgot to change the menu or they just simply shorted us one we would have gotten something else to share or a larger size. The fact they didn't care is what annoyed us. We understand that mistakes happen. No big deal. But they could have offered to fix it. The dumplings overall were decent a little Skimpy on the meat but the taste was there. I Will say that it was Not worth the price of 5 though. Hope someone else reading this has a better experience than we did. read more

This Gu's Dumplings location is in the well maintained The Market Hall (food court) at Halcyon. On a Sunday morning at 11 am, there weren't that many food options available in Halcyon at the time, and we didn't want to drive around looking for other places. We decided to try a couple of things at Gu's Dumplings. The employee at the counter was very nice and welcoming, and was quick at taking our orders: An large order of 12 pork Zhong style dumplings and an order of 2 spring rolls. While waiting for our food, we sat at one of the high top tables in the roomy indoor dining area used by all customers of the food court vendors. After 15 minutes, our order was called out and I picked up our food at the counter. The fried vegetarian spring rolls were hot, crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. They had a delicious flavor that was enhanced by dipping them in the homemade sweet sauce. I didn't care much for texture or the flavor of the pork Zhong style dumplings, which were water boiled pork dumplings in homemade sweet and spicy Zhong sauce with minced garlic and sprinkled with sesame seeds and fresh green onions. To me the soft dumplings lacked any flavor, had a texture that was too mushy for my preference, and I didn't even detect a sweetness to the sauce - just a spicy heat. I also thought that, overall, the portions were small for what we paid. The spring rolls and the service were really good. I've had much better tasting dumplings elsewhere that weren't priced so high. read more

Got the Handmade Sweet and Spicy Thick Noodles. They were good, and gets spicier as you eat them but also gets pretty salty after a while. Unfortunately, I paid $15 for these noodles and wouldn't say that I'm full after eating them. You can tell that the noodles are handmade and are definitely doughy (which was great!), but again, it's more so a little more than a snack kind of portions. Overall, service was good and pretty quick despite the food hall becoming busy for the dinner rush. read more

Gu's Dumplings - Handmade Sweet and Spicy Thick Noodles - Szechuan Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

I love Gu's Dumplings. It's one of the best I've ever had. Their handmade noodles are also fantastic. Great flavor and consistency. However, I agree with other Yelpers about the price. Having tried several different items from here, I can say it's a bit expensive. A full order of dumplings is $14, handmade sweet & spicy thick noodles are $14, a 16oz. hot & sour soup is $6.5, an order of mapo tofu is $15, etc. The meat entrees also don't come with rice. It's an additional $1.5 for white rice. I can't complain too much. The food is always delicious and the portions are good. We always leave full and satisfied. We're lucky to have a Gu's location up here. I just can't frequent it as much as I'd like to. read more

LOVEEEE THEIR DUMPLINGS. ***LOCATION*** Love the whole area at Halcyon. I have also tried their dumplings at Krog street and they were both good both times. This spot is a lot easier to find parking imo than Krog street. I live in between both and much prefer this location! Halcyon has a free parking deck or paid parking right out front. ***AMBIANCE*** It's in a food hall. I came during the day so it wasn't too crowded but I imagine at night and on weekends it probably gets busy, but the inside is so nice. Definitely also great if people in your party want to all eat different things. ***FOOD*** Their dumplings are the best I have EVER had anywhere period. The only complaint I'd have is that this time and the time at Krog street, I never got 12 dumpling. At Krog street I got 11 and here I don't even think I got 9... I ordered a dozen but idk if they didn't really count but I was a little disappointed by that. They are soooo amazing though even if they gave me 1 I'd be back haha ***STAFF*** Really nice! I had ordered for pickup directly on Yelp. When I got there it was ready and he grabbed my order and I was able to get it immediately. ***PRICE*** Reasonable for the size of the dumplings and of course the quality! ***CONCLUSION*** Will forever be a regular anytime I am in the area. Both locations are about 15-20 min from me but I will definitely go out of my way to go here! read more

Gu's Dumplings - Full Order Vegetable Zhong Style Dumplings - Szechuan Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

This was a very popular location at the food hall. There was always ongoing customers at this spot. The person up front was very helpful and nice as this was my first time at the food hall since it opened. I opted for the 6 steamed pork dumplings. You can choose from 6 or 10 quantity wise for the number of dumplings as well as if you want pork, chicken, or vegetable. It was very filling and tasty except I would next time opt for light sauce as it was a lot of sauce and it was very oily. Also, it's kind of pricey, as it costs $10 for half an order of dumplings. I do recommend this place as it was good and worth trying. read more

Just okay is really the main descriptor I can think of after trying out the popular dumplings from here. I appreciated the patience and honesty of the staff despite the large crowds and possible long wait at the time of my visit. The food came out hot but the dumpling filling was lackluster and encased in too thick of a skin. The sauce itself was not as spicy as would be typically expected and leaned sweeter than most other areas. While the food satisfied by cravings and considering the other Asian offers in the area, it was the most promising, if you can make the trip out towards Buford hwy to get better quality then please do. read more

Dumplings are always amazing, I recommend pork if you consume that. Next, I will try the shrimp fried rice. I recommend 12 pork dumplings. Enjoy read more

The spicy crispy beef is probably the best individual entree that can be ordered from any restaurant in Halcyon. A bit pricey, but it is very flavorful. read more

I tried this last Friday on my no cook day and I was very happy that I did. The Mongolian beef was really good; a tad bit pricey but you get what you pay for. The egg rolls were great and the hubby enjoyed the dumplings a lot. He is already asking me to drop by for more. I will be back. The service was fast and friendly. read more

I mean the dumplings are good with a nice sauce etc. But i feel like its crazy that a fancy place like Halcyon only has a food hall of literal ethnic street food at premium prices. So 12 dollars for 6 basic pork dumplings is really crazy. In addition I had to wait over twenty mins for said dumplings and i know they get prepared in mass so they should be ready to be boiled or steamed and there was nobody ahead of me and people arriving later where getting their orders ahead of me so I wasn't impressed with the experience nor with the ok dumplings. Im not sure ill visit again. read more

Been to the one in Krogs. Since this place is so new, it has yet to develop a strong following. I think it'll be a nice reprieve from the other "Mally" food outlets. Like Krogs, Marietta, Ponce and so on. There were five that were open, Pita, CT al pastor, Sweet Tuna, Gu's and Holmes slice Pizza... There are a LOT of entertainment that has been developed for the people who can make an day or evening out of being here. Coffee? they have it. Brunch,? Yeeeeeep. Dinner? Of course! Soccer pool, yes! Cornhole leagues, why not? Plus a lot more including our furred companions. (Dogs)... I anticipate good and big things happening here they are in a growth spurt and a lot of people are liking to make this their homestead now. I look forward to spending some time here soon. Cheers... read more

I've been to Gu's a few times now and have had great experiences! It's in Halcyon, so parking can be a little tricky to find because of how packed it gets bit there's usually spots in the deck somewhere. Gu's itself is pretty easy to find within the food hall and the line is minimal. I love their Pork Dumplings, they are definitely the signature dish and SO YUMMY! The Kung Pao Chicken and green beans are pretty standard (could use something to take it up a notch). The Handmade Thick Noodles are also fantastic and really delicious. My only note is that the food does tend to be really oily and the dumplings tend to stick together. In addition, because it's in a food hall, the food comes in takeout containers (other reviews complain about this, but it's a food hall not a sit-down restaurant so I don't mind at all!) Overall, Gu's is a pretty solid dinner choice at Halcyon so definitely check it out! read more

The food at GU's dumplings is good we ordered $60 worth of food this past weekend however when we asked for a chilli oil it was a small pre portioned chilli oil container for which we were asked to pay $2 .... I felt it was a little miserly .... As another place we often used to visit pre Covid gave 4 crab rangoons free if the order exceeded $35 .... We don't expect them to give us food for free ... but charging $2 for chilli oil was not expected read more

My first ever bad review. I tend to give the benefit of doubt to the food and service industry. But dang-this place leaves things out and repeatedly screws up orders. Not a singled out instance; like all the time! It's not cheap either; I would expect better from a place that costs $30+ for a walk up counter. The employees and management has the attitude that replicates a cheap snack stand vendor at six flags. They just don't care. The crispy beef and dumplings are great. But unfortunately this place gets a single star and I encourage fellow patrons to spend their money elsewhere. Fortunately I believe the staff and management won't care. read more

We ended up in Halcyon while in the Alpharetta area & had to stop by as many places as we had room for! Gus was our first stop bc I've heard nothing but good things about these dumplings! And let me tell you.... The zhang dumplings are so scrumptious, so juicy, so flavorful... We ordered 12 for 2 of us & I really didn't want to share. We also got the mapo tofu & a side of rice. So dinner for 2 at ~$30. Not a bad deal! Tons of mapo! We had leftovers at the end of our takeout dinner. Mapo was excellent. Perfect spice level, perfect flavor, perfect amount. I would definitely order this again even though I literally want to try the whole menu. The people that greeted us - so friendly! Masks on but I could tell they were smizing. Love this place! And in Halcyon, so much to do, plenty of parking in the deck... You really just gotta drop by. read more

I would give them zero stars if I could. Never even ordered, had to leave out of frustration. Asked for extra sauce so they spent five minutes explaining why they needed to charge extra, even though we didn't question the extra charge. Asked for water, they said their machine doesn't have water, but their neighbors give water for free. Asked for a cup we can fill in the water fountain, they said they would need to charge us for the cup. At that point, we just left in disgust! read more
