The story
Best BBQ brings the traditions of Cantonese barbecue to Chamblee, Georgia. Located on Buford Highway, this small, focused restaurant has built a reputation among locals and visitors alike for its honest, wood‑fired approach to Chinese cuisine. The menu centers on classic roast meats — lacquered char siu, crispy‑skinned roast duck, and tender soy‑marinated chicken — all prepared daily in‑house.
In 2026, Best BBQ earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that speaks to the consistency and purity of its cooking. The inspectors noted the intensity of flavor and the careful technique behind each cut — a quiet validation of years spent perfecting the craft.
The restaurant operates on a straightforward model: order online for pickup, or stop by for takeaway. The dining room is air conditioned and comfortable, but the real draw is the barbecue itself — served with rice, pickled vegetables, or simply on its own. There is no menu of elaborate dishes; the focus remains squarely on Cantonese roasting traditions and the balance of sweet, savory, and smoky notes.
Best BBQ does not rely on frills. Its strength lies in the quality of the meat, the precision of the marinade, and the consistency of the fire. For anyone seeking authentic Chinese barbecue in the Atlanta area, this Chamblee spot delivers exactly what its name promises.
