Papa Chow

Used to come here a lot 2009 – 2012. It was my once a week joint. Its small inside but always seemed like a nice place to sit done and eat. Lots of high chairs. It has never really busy when I go and even after 3 years i guess I just always went the slow times. Good for me. Now it still was about a ¹⁰⁄₁₅ min wait worth it. After all these years it was very good and consistent. Def go back when I return back to camp creek.

The food came out cold even when it came correctly. The waitress messed up the orders and when she could’ve rectified the situation, she gave the same order to someone waiting less time than us.

Great food… Great Atmosphere!!! Best Chinese food on the Southside of Atlanta… you won’t be disappointed… Every thing is fresh and cooked when you order!

If you don’t like seasoning and have a strange appreciation for terrible customer service, this is the place to go!
Seriously, I work close by and have been here many times (only because China 1 looks scary). Their customer service is terrible. They seem to hire high school kids who couldn’t care less about anything other than how many rhinestones they can fit on their acrylics. Their rice (white, brown, fried) is season — less and the rest of their food (chicken, beef, etc…) is similar. I don’t go there anymore; I’m tired of eating bad food and dealing with their lack of customer service.

It is a typical strip mall eatery… It lack atmosphere. I was directly by the hotel night desk clerk that it was wonderful food. A place that her boyfriend and her would go on a special night out.
Well, i went with my expectation high and left with my hopes dashed. The food was marginal at best.
I checked out of the hotel the next day, too.

This place is great and has great food. I only took off one star because the cashier/​wait staff can be extremely unprofessional at times. Food is always hot and tasty, fresh vegetables and meats. I recommend the orange chicken, anything from the hibachi style portion of the menu, and the shrimp fried rice.

Didn’t get to try it… found hair in my rice. The cooks need hair nets. Not sanitary.

I have been looking forward to revisiting this restaurant for over a year now. A co-​worker and I came for lunch and I was very pleased with the food and the service. A year later, the food is still great but the customer service — and the attitudes of the cashiers — make this not such a slam-​dunk. We came on a Wednesday evening while business was slow. The dishes (Szechuan chicken and beef) were great, as expected. Getting charged $ 1.50 EACH for two large Styrofoam cups («large water»), getting brown rice instead of fried rice, and getting lots of attitude when asking for anything (clarification on the bill, boxes for left overs) was not. Dear Papa Chow, don’t let the help ruin your customers’ experiences or you won’t have customers for much longer.

Best won ton soup ever! I will definitely get it again.
Not sure why I’m being forced to add more comments; a person of few words.

I called ahead & the food was ready when I got there in 10 – 15 minutes. She didn’t try to sell me anything extra — always a plus for me. I can’t judge the cleanliness or heat since I was only there for all of 5 minutes. Food was hot & tasted great. What more can you ask for from a fast food Chinese spot? Only gave it 4 starts because it’s not the absolute best I’ve ever tasted.

Service is very quick and the food is great for a fast food type atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the sushi was. I tried the California and dynamite roll. I also tried the hibachi style chicken with brown rice. The veggies were cooked great and the yum yum sauce was delicious. The portions are hige so you can share or have leftovers. I had sushi plus 3 entrees with my family for under $ 30. I would invite anyone on the Southside to come to eat at this hidden gem in the campcreek market place.

Sub par the fried rice had no flavor and the nori on the sushi roll was pre made is was chewy waste of money

I wish you could give separate reviews for food and service. The food is beyond excellent. can’t say enough about it… love it!!! The service sucks. rude to say the least. And it was about 80 degrees in there.

Good teriyaki chicken, service was quick, and lemon pepper wings were great.
I will be coming here again

I have ordered several times and honestly it is only because the fried rice they prepare is really good and not greasy. As for the 2 young ladies that work the front counter and answer the phone, well that is less desirable. Calling in an order is usually impossible because they never answer the phone even if it rings 30 times in a row. When you arrive to place or pickup an order, you can guarantee that it will never be with a smile. It is just like they are bothered and only work because apparently their managers/​owners aren’t fully aware of the lack of customer service. The main line is what sells your product and branding is important so when you come at various times of the day and it’s never any pleasantry then something is wrong.
Anyway again since I do not eat beef or fried foods I have only ordered the veggie dish and once tried the salmon, which had zero seasoning so it was like eating it right out of the water. As with most places such of this when they try to charge for every little thing usually it means that they skimp and are in dire need of making up the cost somehow. Like really close to charging for napkins etc, which is sad. There are other Chinese spots in the area so I will branch out and keep them in my back pocket when rice is calling.

This is a ok place. Not the best and not the worst. I’ve eaten here twice and doubt I’ll be back again. For the price the food should be better, especially with respect to the sushi which is bland and uninspired. The pad Thai dishes are too expensive and again, like the sushi, is bland.

Top notch «Fast Food Sushi»! Would have liked to given this place a 3.5 stars.
Went at 2pm for sushi and the place was fairly empty, good. Needed sushi and was starving. Lunch special was $ 6.99 for 2 sushi rolls, salad and miso soup, didn’t include drink, fair enough. The two girls working the counter didn’t look happy to be there but perhaps they just got off the lunch rush, I understand. The miso soup and salad came out very quickly once we ordered.
Here are my complaints: The miso soup was an instant packet that I have personally bought before at the Buford Highway Farmers Market, not cool. How much effort is it to make your own dishwater soup? The salad was just iceberg lettuce but the dressing, while a little strange looking, was quite good. All 4 of our sushi selections were actually VERY good and prepared to order, now THAT I can dig. But here’s the kicker for my good rating besides the good sushi, $ 2.99 for our seaweed salad and we got double the amount you would normally get for $ 5.99 anywhere else. Double amount at half price with same quality? Yes please.
The place was clean, the service was quick, and the food was very good for the price we paid. $ 21.90 for 16 pieces of sushi, 2 salads, 2 miso soups, 2 drinks, and a seaweed salad to take home. Not bad, not bad at all.

Service is real fast, food is good and looks good. I had the pad thai noodles with shrimp and the lunch special, two set of sushi rolls for 6.50. Overall great place.

The food is ok, but don’t look at the menu on here because the prices aren’t accurate, neither is the menu that you would take out the restaurant (according to one of the employees there).
As far as customer service goes, I’ve been there several times already and its always a 4 or below. They’re not the nicest. But if you’re ok with that then, it may not be so bad.

Not bad for a Chinese food fix. The inside is very modern and comfy. They have tables, booths, and a bar type eating situation in the dining area. I like how they have both regular soy sauce and reduced sodium soy sauce on each table.
You order at the counter here and are given a number to take to your table. Shortly thereafter the foods comes out. I ordered the Honey Sesame Chicken with a shrimp spring roll. The chicken came with choice of rice (fried, steamed) and I got fried. The spring roll did not come with the meal but was rather an item I added on. My total, without a drink, was a little under $ 9. I got the chicken dish delivered first then the spring roll a couple of minutes later. Odd.
The chicken was pretty good, but lacked the crispness that I like. Also, I wasn’t all that happy with the temperature in terms of degrees, not spiciness. It came out less than hot. They give you a moderate amount and not the huge amount that you can get other places. There was plenty of sauce on it, which I liked. I thought the fried rice was good. Not too much soy sauce and peppered with onions, carrots, and egg.
The shrimp spring roll was hot and crispy and tasted good. However, I was hard pressed to find or taste the shrimp. I think they may have taken a quarter of one shrimp and diced it to smithereens or there was no shrimp in the thing. I’m going with no shrimp since I neither tasted or saw any.
They gave me a metal fork with which to eat, but they have plastic forks and spoons available that you can pick up. They did not have plastic knives though and I needed one as I like to cut those chicken chunks up into smaller pieces.
They have sushi available here that I might try along with some other items on the menu like bowls that they offer. I wanted a ginger salad on this visit but when I asked the lady at the counter about it, she said she hadn’t had it before so she didn’t know. Doh!
So I will probably be back to taste some other offerings and see if something else is popping.
