Hi there! I’m Tina — and I love food.
If you’re like me, food isn’t just about eating — it’s about discovery, culture, comfort, and joy. I created Asian Food Atlanta to share my favorite places to eat Asian food across metro Atlanta: from tiny food court stalls to Korean BBQ feasts, Taiwanese snacks, and late-night sushi spots.
I was born in Taiwan and moved to the U.S. when I was 4 years old. My family eventually settled in Duluth, Georgia — which today is known for its amazing Asian food scene.
Back then, that definitely wasn’t the case. Most of the Asian food and culture was centered around Buford Highway, where I spent Saturdays going to Chinese school at the old Chinatown plaza. I still remember how exciting it was to visit restaurants that reminded me of home.
Since then, Atlanta’s Asian food scene has grown tremendously. Duluth, Johns Creek, Norcross, Peachtree Corners, and many other neighborhoods now feature a wide range of Asian cuisines — and I’ve made it my mission to explore and share them all.
