Atl - Crispy & Crunchy Guobaorou!

📍 Kochi Maru 5805 Buford Hwy NE #103, Doraville, GA 30340 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ During Atlanta’s coldest days, all I craved was something warm and comforting — and Kochi Maru delivered exactly that! 🍲❄️ We started with their Lamb Soup, which was rich, aromatic, and gently spicy. The lamb was tender and fall-apart soft, simmered with hints of sesame oil and perilla oil that added a beautiful fragrant touch. Perfect for thawing out from the inside! 🐑🌶️✨ But the real star — and the dish that so many friends recommended — was the Guobaorou (Sweet & Sour Crispy Pork). And wow, did it live up to the hype! Each piece was crispy, crackly, and light, with a tangy-sweet glaze that leaned refreshingly toward the sour side. As someone who loves bold flavors, I was completely hooked. 🥢🍯🔥 We also tried their homemade dumplings, which were juicy and well-seasoned — a simple yet satisfying addition to the meal. With its unassuming location on Buford Highway and a menu full of Northeast Chinese comfort classics, Kochi Maru feels like a delicious hidden treasure. Whether you’re craving steaming soup, crispy fried delights, or just a taste of home-style Chinese cooking, this spot is absolutely worth the visit. 🥟❤️ #Atlanta #ChineseFood #Guobaorou #LambSoup #ComfortFood #BufordHighway #DoravilleEats #WinterWarmers #MustTry #FoodieFind
