Asian Chao

Asian Chao is a practical spot for a quick, no-fuss Asian meal right inside the Atlanta airport. Catering primarily to travelers looking for a satisfying bite between flights, it offers familiar dishes like beef & broccoli, sweet & sour chicken, and varieties of orange chicken along with lo mein and fried rice. The atmosphere is straightforward and functional, reflecting its location in a busy terminal rather than a cozy neighborhood setting.

Portions here lean generous, making it a solid choice for those wanting to fill up without stretching their wallet. The food tends to hit the mark on flavor for airport fare—items like the spicy chicken and beef & broccoli stand out, although some dishes (like the General Tso’s chicken and noodles) can be a bit softer than expected, possibly due to preparation constraints typical for a fast-paced environment.

Travelers familiar with more polished sit-down Asian restaurants might find the texture less crisp, but the vegetables and rice generally hold up well, balancing the meal. Service is quick, which suits the airport crowd needing to eat efficiently before catching flights. It’s a good spot for those who appreciate a straightforward, tasty meal without the frills, especially if you like Asian takeout classics.

Best visited during off-peak hours when you can grab a seat more easily and enjoy a relatively calm break from the airport rush. If you’re passing through Atlanta’s terminal and want a filling lunch or early dinner with some Asian comfort food options, this venue delivers practical, solid choices that feel a bit more satisfying than your average airport counter meal.
