Tasty China Jia

Fried Rice seemed stale and over cooked. Wouldn't get this again. Next I tried the General Tso's Chicken and added beef and shrimp and this was pretty tasty with added flavor. I think that flavorful combination would pair well with the white rice. I sat at the bar and didn't order any drinks but a lot of people sit for the drinks since it's a pretty touristy location in ponce city market. I had great service with my water staying full and any request such as added sauces came quickly. With all the different spots around I think this place is worth a try for sure

Went here with my boyfriend's family during their visit to Atlanta. We were really hungry after spending the day walking at the Botanical Garden. We decided on Jia after seeing that they had some different protein options compared to the other food spots at Ponce City Market. We were sat pretty quickly which was nice but that's about where the nice experience ended. First off, the menus are strange as each page is in a different orientation plus they have so many plate options you find yourself flipping around the menu. I compared it to an origami Cheesecake Factory menu. Eventually, we were all able to decide on our option for the evening. We started out with Spring Rolls for the table. They brought out only the plate with Spring Rolls and no additional small plates! The rolls were freshly fried so they were hot. It was very uncomfortable to share that small plate as 4 people. Then we had our dinner entrees. The food came out at really varying pace which wasn't great because I wait for everyone to get their food before eating. The server asked if we got Mapo Tofu and I raise my hand and the just dropped it in front of his parents and left. When my bf's dad got his Dry Fried Chicken plate he complained that it was too sweet to eat. My bf tried it and agreed. We asked to switch the plate since he didn't like it and the waitress had to ask the manager. The manager then proceeded to peek at us through the entranceway making it an uncomfortable experience yet again. She did come back after a few minutes and asked what he wanted and he just went with Beef and Broccoli since that's what his wife got and she didn't provide the menu again.My boyfriend got the Beef Short Rib and the waitress did ask if he was fine with spicy. He said yes clearly not knowing that Spicy meant a plate of 50% peppers. There were literally more peppers than beef and the Jalapeños were sliced to look like green peppers lending everyone in the party to bite straight into hot peppers. As for my dish, I actually liked it! I'm a tofu fanatic and I will say it was super spicy but it still had flavor. I paired it with the fried rice that smelled a little like feet. But dipping the fried rice in the soup made it edible. They did good with this dish in my opinion. Overall, it was moreso the experience of dining in more than the food that made this unpleasant. It honestly kind of soured an otherwise wonderful day.Don't be a sit down spot if you're not going to put any effort into serving your patrons. The food is decent but beware of the spice!! I'd recommend just taking this to go and eating in one of the public areas if you want Chinese at Ponce City Market. If not, check out one of the other joints! Just as good food with way better service.

It was certainly tasty. But not 5 stars tasty. It's one of the few places open late in the place. It's in the middle of everything and only looks to have a handful of tables which adds to the mystic. It's low lighting which makes the atmosphere intimate. The smells were okay. We were seated right by the kitchen and thought it would be stronger. We came towards the end of the night and I ordered three things and each time the waitress came back to tell me that they were out. Finally I went with the garden duck and egg fried rice. My fourth choice turned out to be not half bad. I was actually really happy with it but there was other things on the menu that I don't normally get and sounded delicious. Shame I didn't get to experience it. I'll give it a 3 stars because the staff was okay (they seemed ready to be done for the night), they were out of everything I really wanted. Being next to the kitchen was also kinda annoying. It made it loud. Their alcohol selection was below average. The food was a four star however. And I'd recommend them for that. But the whole experience was a little lacking.

I am not completely sure why this place was only served 3 stars but it was by far some of the freshest Chinese food I've tasted in a while! Here's my review:Location: This place is located inside of PCM (Ponce City Market) Parking: Parking is paid only. No exceptions outside of the 30 mins free parking but make sure you are SURE it's not one of those spaces or you will get booted or towed! Atmosphere: PCM is like your local food market.. everything is hustle and bustle! If you enjoy this vibe you should be fine. Most of the restaurants some of their seating is right out in front viewing all the people going by. This particular restaurant was nestled in the middle of the food market. I was greeted and served right away. The decor and everything was perfect made me feel like I was on the streets of china eating local food! The food came FAST and was A LOT! It was very good no complaints from flavor. We also order drinks and surprise! Strong but tasty! I have nothing but good praises from this place. They use toast kiosks so your checkout is fast and can be contactless! I don't have any tips or anything as everything was amazing lol Our waitress was good too - she seemed new and didn't know the menu well but again she was kind and came back with the correct things the first time. This one has been added to my go to for Ponce city market!

Busy Friday night but was seated immediately outside on the patio. Service was excellent. We started with pan fried dumplings. They were tasted and the perfect appetizer. I had beef with peppers and fried rice for my meal. The fried rice was slightly bland. The beef and peppers had a medium/ mild spice.

I've been here several times and found that only their Numbing Tofu Skin is worth the wait. Everything else is either too bland or too sweet. Staff is nice, but it takes a while for orders to be ready.

Came here for dinner on a Monday based on some recommendations from some friends. It was decently busy, but we were seated very quickly. I was surprised they didn't serve any tea at this Chinese restaurant, but not a deal breaker for me. My friend and I split the dandan noodles, dry fried pork belly, and the boiled fish dish.The dandan noodles were pretty good. The chili oil definitely had the numbing spice and was very light compared to other dandan noodles I've had in the past.The dry fried pork belly was okay in my opinion. The breading was pretty oily, granted, pork belly is pretty oily to begin with. The seasonings were pretty good, but I just couldn't get over the oiliness. The boiled fish dish was probably my favorite dish from this visit. The fish was super tender and the vegetables tasted amazing. I would say that the soup was a bit less flavorful from how I'm used to, but it's definitely a good way to introduce yourself into szechuan cuisine if you're not used to the numbing spice.

I liked Jia, I didn't think it was as bad as some of the other Yelpers felt and it wasn't as great as some of the other Redditors felt, it was a pretty happy medium for me! The numbing flavor on the crispy beef was good, the fried rice was delicious, I liked the mapo tofu but two of the people I was there with thought it was lacking flavor, and the soup dumplings were decent! I hated the drink I got, I swear it was straight alcohol with syrup, but I can see some people really enjoying that type of drink (strong but very sweet)? Overall I enjoyed it and I'm glad there's a space for it at PCM!

My cousins and I were walking around Ponce Market looking for a place to eat. One of them chose this restaurant and they were seated right away. We met them there and I began to look at the Yelp reviews. They weren't the best AT ALL. I chose to get 2 orders of the spring rolls and a lychee martini--I asked if they could make with gin instead of vodka--so tbd. Everyone else ordered mini burgers, general Tso, steamed and fried dumplings and some shrimp noodles. They had the dinner and the lunch menu available. There were two lychee martinis, raspberry martini, and tequila sunrise. My spring rolls came first and they were ok. Nothing I would come back for. My cousin and her boyfriend did not like the general tso at all. They said the fried rice was good, but the chicken wasn't good. Her boyfriend ate it because he was hungry, but she didn't. The orangey sauce on the general Tso was not a good idea to begin with. We realize after a while everyone for their drinks and the two orders for the lychee Martini was not at the table. We asked the waiter and she said they didn't have anymore...which was weird because why didn't you tell us that instead of us finding you and asking about it. The table ate their food and also she was missing two orders of rice as well after about 15-20 mins. We found out waiter again and asked about the rice. She then told us that the kitchen ran out of rice and has to make another batch. Yes, she didn't communicate effectively to us yet again. At this point, we were over it and asked for our check. We made sure they did not include the lychee martini and overall the experience was lackluster. The ambiance is fine, it's nothing amazing that caught our eye. The waiter wasn't communicating well with the kitchen/bar to us. So I truly wouldn't recommend and I def won't be back here. I was so annoyed I didn't even bother to take a picture of my food. I did get the one drink picture.

My husband got me some take out from here. I wanted something light so I got the pan fried shrimp dumplings and egg drop soup. The dumplings were terrible. The egg drop soup was tasty but they didn't come with any crunchy noodles like I'm used to. Can't say I'd ever ask to go here to dine in.
