• Asian • Taylors

Booked 1 time today

Almost 50 years ago, the Lieu family migrated from Asia to the United States. Since then, they have owned and operated full-service restaurants in cities across the country, including Seattle, Atlanta, Athens, and Greenville.So, where do the great flavors and tried-and-true recipes come from? The patriarch of the Lieu family handed down his amazing recipes to his eldest sons, David and Peter. Just as good brothers do, they worked together with their father to ensure success for their restaurants. Lieu Family owned and operated “Lieu’s Chinese Bistro” for twelve years on Woodruff Road, came to an end in 2014 when the family sold the business to a Korean family who has now sold the restaurant to another family. We still license the use of the name to the Woodruff Road operators, but you can only get the true Lieu’s Chinese experience and recipes at our latest concept “Lieu’s Asian Bistro” on Beacon Drive off Pelham Road which is a partnership with our friend David McCraw.

The table was set up & ready as we entered. The hostess was slow to get up to the front with each customer that entered, as it appeared she had other duties as well. The restaurant was very hot and we asked to be moved from the sun, which they did. The waitress was not overly attentive but fine. The food was a little bland, the peppers on the pizza were strange-like they had been cooked prior to being out on the pizza, which made for a strange flavor on the pizza. My son thought his all meat pizza was good. I doubt we'll be back. It was fine, but not somewhere I would seek out to return with other great restaurants around.
