Spicy GaGa Duck

It is one of the kind Duck store and restaurant. Many cook item are prepared in duck related items. Such as duck liver, duck wing, duck kidney, duck meat, duck beak, duck lung and more. They have this item marinated in their family secret spice. We got some of the duck and chicken gizzard, tofu, fish ball. Those are so good in their marinated item. Other than these items, they have the special make noodle dish. You can eat there or carry home. They also have some fried item. But it need time to prepare. If you want it carry out, you need to call ahead so no wait on the pick up.

You can find Spicy Ga Ga Duck at 5090 Buford Hwy, Ste 109, Doraville, GA 30340 in the Intown Plaza shopping center. This plaza is also home to the very good Temp Doeloe (check that review) and China Hot Pot (aka Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot). The parking for this plaza is pretty tight but depending on your arrival time you should be able to find a space - might be a good idea to carpool just in case. I attended a meeting here of my regular Buford Highway Restaurant Clawr group - actually we had tried to come here once before but the guy was about to close, so this time we came earlier, only to find that you had to call ahead to get the whole duck (which is what we were the most interested in). This sparse, brightly painted place is more of a butcher than a restaurant - where fans can buy various animal bits like Duck head, neck, feet, wing, tounge or gizzard (similar for chicken), also cuts of beef tripe, stomach and tendon or pork ear, feet and leg. They also have several seafood items like crawfish, river snails and mussels. It's my understanding that this is a particular style of traditional Chinese cooking where the focus is on all the bits that are often discarded in the US. It's for a discerning palate and stuff you might find from street-food vendors in large Chinese cities. For Atlanta this is a way to get flavors you wouldn't otherwise find, perhaps to deal with a longing for home. Thus the clientele is made up mostly of Chinese nationalists.We opted for two very similar dishes (we weren't aware how similar until we got them) - one was a soup with clear noodles and the other basically the same thing without the broth. I thought the broth fairly decent and the bits fairly fresh if very rich. I don't mind tripe, beef stomach, blood sausage and the like but I try to only get it in occasional bites - getting a huge bowl was a bit overwhelming. I think if you're looking for something interesting this might be the place to start - I'm not too sure if I'd have this as a destination.The guy behind the counter was not very engaged, seeming to spend all his time on his phone, basically oblivious to us - I don't think we fit into his typical demographic.(also posted to my food blog)

The family recipe spicy sauce is sooooooo good!!! This place is nothing but authentic Chinese food! The cold noodle is chewy and nicely flavored. My favorite is of course the duck neck, lotus roots and Edamame. The seasoning tastes exactly like the type you can find in China.

Spicy duck neck is Devine!!!!! Seaweed is good as well. Will return next time to try other items on their menu.

I loved this little shop next to Quicky. I have been coming here to get my favorite Duck necks. They have a lot of random snacks to try and it's very spicy.

Love the pork liver and chicken feet. The owner is really friendly!

I ordered something called northern China cold noodle. It tastes so gross, oily, and too sweet. I'll never come back there. Bad food

This is a typical Chinese snack/cold dish place where you can get duck neck, spicy duck head, spicy cow stomach, seaweed, potatos... I particular like the cold noodles (东北凉皮)， spicy duck head (can be very spicy but addicting), and cow stomach. Cash only place. Can be pricy for the amount you get. ($20-$40 is typical what I spend. I buy the cold noodle, and a little bit of 2-3 kinds of cold dishes)Parking can be hard to find depending on the time of the day.

There is never anyone there whenever I pass by. One time, I decided to try their pig ears since they're not easy to find in Atlanta. I was asked how much I wanted, I said half a pound and she gave me 3 or 4 pig ears and it was 0.8 lb! I should have asked the staff to put some pig ears back but I didn't.Anyways, the pig ears are tasteless but unfortunately, not hairless. Also, they didn't taste fresh at all. It didn't help that they came as whole ears which is really weird. For well over $5 (sorry I don't remember the exact amount as I visited a while ago), I got several pig ears that were not really edible. Never again.

I love the noodles at Spicy Gaga Duck. The Korean-style cold noodle is fantastic and super refreshing in summer. The noodles are the perfect amount of chewy and the sauce is slightly sour with vegetables and other delicious things.The restaurant also has a variety of stewed meats and sides. My favorite is the stewed duck wing and the seaweed is also another great option. The recipe is spicy but not too spicy.FYI it is cash only!
