There are several restaurants that pop up in Atlanta every year, but what's the standout one of 2017?
It's Food Terminal, according to Thrillist.
The publication recently released the Prime 13, its round-up of the best new eateries in America.
To do so, editors ate over 100 meals across the country to narrow it down, and the ATL spot made the cut.
"Its resplendency of culinary diversity is full of reasons to visit, but if you need just one, make it Food Terminal, one of the country's newest and most impressive Malaysian restaurants," the publication wrote.
Located on Buford Highway, Food Terminal, which merges Indian, Chinese, Thai, and Singaporea cuisines, offers 156 items on its nearly 50-page menu.
“Going to Food Terminal is like visiting the Disneyland of noodles,” the site said. But there’s more than just noodles to choose from. There’s a variety of delicacies, such as Hainanese chicken, cumin beef skewers, pho, and baja fish tacos.
One of Thrillist’s favorite dishes? It’s the Grandma Wonton BBQ Pork meal, “where lo mein-like noodles are stir-fried in a slightly sweet but umami packed soy sauce-based mixture.”
But the writers didn’t only praise the eatery for its good eats. It also gave it kudos for its decor.
“The restaurant is massive in every sense of the word. The 7,000-square-foot space seats 200 people in fluorescent yellow chairs under soaring ceilings and neon lights,” Thrillist said. “It’s this willingness to draw inspiration from anywhere that makes Food Terminal one of the most exciting restaurants in the country.”
