The Sparrow 麻将

Amazing authentic Chinese food in midtown ATL. A restaurant with Sichuan cuisine. Classic Sichuan dishes are available.We ordered Peking duck.The crispy roast duck skin is paired with caviar. You can smell the oily aroma of duck and the aroma of caviar. Btw, I have been eating Zhong Shuijiao for more than a year.It is available here and tastes surprisingly good. The restaurant has two floors. Sitting under the painting of peony flowers is very photogenic. The cocktail menu is also asian fusion with a sophisticated twist. I ordered lychee Martin and it was tasty. Finally, I don’t have to go to Buford Highway for Asian food now.

We came here for my birthday and everything was wonderful! Cody was our waiter and provided excellent service! We had a large party and all the cocktails, apps, and main courses came out in a timely manner. I can’t wait to go back so I could try more of their menu!

I only eat Szechuan food. Im a truck driver I dont have a local spot. So I eat Szechuan like once a month i meal prep them and i can eat it everyday for like a week. The Chongqing Chicken Pot 重庆鸡公煲was so good very peppercorn. There were 2 choices on the menu same item one says bone in one doesnt I chose no bone but got none so must be a menu mistake. Stir-Fried Green Beans干煸四季豆were szecan correct. Stir-Fried Cabbage炝炒高丽菜 correct. Dan Dan Dan Noodles 担担面o very good I recommend stirring it all the flavor was on the bottom. Fried Rice 炒饭was just good. I couldnt reqest spicy or add egg so just good. Everything was above and beyond worth the premium price. Packaged like ipaid a lot of money. No styrofoam stuff with liquid got a plasic bag around it. Defintely recomend this place

We had an incredible dinner at The Sparrow in Midtown and honestly can’t stop thinking about it. First off, Raquel was our server and she was amazing—super friendly, helpful, and made us feel totally taken care of without ever being overbearing. We ordered a ton of food and loved everything. The Peking duck was the star—crispy, flavorful, and carved perfectly. The ribs were insanely tender, and the Golden Mountain chicken had this sweet-savory glaze that was just addictive. The hot and sour soup was rich and comforting, the soup buns had that perfect burst of broth, and the pan-fried dumplings were crispy on the bottom and so satisfying. The salt and pepper squid was light, crunchy, and gone way too fast. We also tried several of their cocktails—each one was creative, well-balanced, and just really fun. It’s clear they put real thought into the drinks as much as the food. Overall, it was just one of those dinners where everything clicked—great atmosphere, awesome service, and fantastic food. Can’t wait to go back.

The Sparrow is a great spot in Midtown for authentic Chinese food. I got the shrimp spicy numbing hot pot and really liked it! It didn’t taste too greasy so that was an added bonus. I liked the mix of vegetables and overall flavor. I would return and try their other items. They seem to have a really good lunch special deal as well! Definitely great option for Chinese food with lots of classic options

The restaurant was amazingly accommodating for a big group of 12 mixed with adults and kids. Our waiter, Cody, was awesome and on top of everything. The food all came out hot and super fresh. The dumplings were the biggest hit as well as the lamb chops and the crispy wonton cups were delicious. The only suggestion was to add some more ambiance lighting and music to really make it feel fun/add some energy. Overall I’d 100% be a regular here if we lived in the area.

Wanted to try a new Chinese restaurant, and happened upon the Sparrow! Wow! Glad we had reservations, because the place filled up pretty quickly. Since the veggie spring rolls were bland, I had my doubts about the rest of the food! Boy was I wrong! We ordered spicy kung-pao tofu (they readily swapped the chicken for tofu) and the cilantro chicken. They’re both served with rice. Both were so flavor-filled and the portions were quite large. I’d requested that the tofu be lightly sauteed versus deep fried, and they listened!! Being close to GT, the crowd is mostly college aged. The pleasant ambiance and simple decor are welcoming. We were lucky to find a parking spot in the front on a Friday evening.

The overall dining experience at this Chinese restaurant was outstanding. The dishes were refined and flavorful, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy traditional Chinese cuisine with a creative touch. Starting with the Garlic Snow Pea Tips,they were light and refreshing. The pea shoots were tender and cooked to perfection, while the garlic added a rich aroma without overpowering the dish—perfect for diners who enjoy fresh, green vegetables. The Shrimp Paste Crispy Pork was the highlight of the meal. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it delivered an initial crunch followed by the unique umami of shrimp paste. Rich but not greasy, it was so addictive we couldn’t stop eating. The Steamed Branzino also of excellent quality. The fish was snowy white and delicately tender, with no trace of fishiness. The sauce was balanced just right, enhancing the natural flavor of the sea bass. It's a dish that truly showcases the chef's skill. The Spicy Mao Roast Duck brought a strong Sichuan-style aroma to the table. The duck skin was crisp, the meat firm yet juicy, and the mildly spicy seasoning made it irresistibly appetizing. It was bold in flavor but not oily—a well-executed dish for those who enjoy robust tastes. Lastly, the Szechuan Beef with Fresh Sichuan Peppercorns offered a rich, multi-layered taste. The beef was juicy and tender, and the fragrant numbness from the fresh peppercorns complemented rather than overwhelmed the beef's flavor. A must-try for lovers of the numbing spice. Overall, the restaurant shows great care in ingredient selection and flavor balancing. Each dish had its own unique character and highlights. Whether you're dining with family or catching up with friends, this place is highly recommended. Looking forward to coming back to try more dishes!
