This restaurant is in the Great Wall supermarket in Gwinnett. I was pleasantly surprised by the cumin Lamb I ordered. So tender and delicious. Other dishes look really good too. Will have to come back to try them.

This is a reminder to myself: Get the beef and mushroom dish & mixed vegetable dish again as they are phenomenal!Pass on the lo mein unless you have chili crisp in the car or buy some at the supermarket. It needs a little extra something.

So you're sitting there right now reading this review, and you're thinking to yourself, "Which would I rather pursue right now: great sex, or the most delicious spicy hot pot in the history of humankind?" The answer is clear: go for the Humble House Spicy Hot Pot. Unlike every other Chinese restaurant ever, Humble House actually puts an authentic level of "Ma La"* spices in this sexy beast. Try not to get arrested making too many loud moaning sounds while savoring it (trust me -- I'm still out on bail). Suggestions: 1. Fold over a paper napkin on the table and then wet it with about a teaspoon of water. Place your Hot Pot on top of this so it doesn't slide and spin with every bite you take. 2. Get a spoon so you can every now and then scoop up some of those delicious bits of onion and potato coated with hot chili oil at the bottom of the Hot Pot. 3. Don't add a thing to this dish! Try a little of everything just as the chef gives it to you and you'll see that the chef knows exactly what he's doing and you don't have to add anything. 4. TIP THEM! Go up after you finish this treasure, thank them for a delicious meal, and drop a couple bucks into the tip jar. The decisions they make to elevate quality are not cheap. Quality ingredients and a truly competent chef are what set Humble House above all the rest, and they cost money. We all help subsidize these expensive decisions with tips. Anyway, I guess that's enough kvelling for now. Bon Appétit! * "Ma La" is the Szechuan classic flavor profile known in English as "Hot and Numbing."

I ordered the vegetable hot pot. So mala spicy that it burned my mouth but tasty! And it was less than $12 for this large soup filled with vermicelli and vegetables. It also came with a side of rice. It's located in the Great Wall Supermarket food court so nothing fancy but it's a great place to come for a quick bite. They don't stay open late though.

We've eaten in this food court several times, but it's always been at the Best BBQ place at the end. This time, we thought we'd try Humble House * which took over from one of the preceding (failed?) business. We ordered the noodle soup with beef tendon and the House Specialty fried rice. I'm afraid that, when it comes to the food, I'll be channeling Churchill to say that they have much to be humble about. There was not enough tendons, the noodles did not taste like homemade, and the soup was more chicken-based than beef- (and not that good). The fried rice was somewhat better, but it relied too much on deep-frying for richness and taste - all the shrimps, chicken etc. were first deep-fried or slightly-battered and then fried before mixing with the rice. Not sure if their other dishes might be better perhaps just ordering dishes to eat with white rice reveals their 'best foot'? We're unlikely to get to the bottom of that mystery based on this experience. * IMO, "Humble House" is an inept translation based on the self-deprecating term used by Chinese to refer to one's home as (literally) 'cold abode' (as in, so modest that it's not heated, not as in 'unwelcoming') - it is the name of this place rendered in Chinese. But even with that knowledge, it's not really an appropriate moniker for a resto! It's supposed to conjure up home cooking and hospitality, except it doesn't. I've seen/visited my share of Chinese restos all over the world - have never seen this name used, for good reason.

Excellent Sichuan cuisine! Fast efficient service and good pricing. Not a fan of the 3% service

Decent stir fry at a good price point.There's no full service you order at the counter and eat at food court.Ambiance is 100% no frills.

Personally I think it’s the best Chinese food in town, I do takeouts regularly here, price is totally fair and food is very authentic.

打北边来个哑巴

(Translated by Google) The pot-wrapped meat with tomato sauce and minced meat and eggplant pot taste okay, but the selling price is a bit different(Original)番茄酱口的锅包肉 和 肉末茄子煲 味道还行 卖相差了些

I always get food here and it's some of the best I've found. Their menu item #13 is amazing, and everyone I recommend it too loves it.

I’m on low sodium diet and it has been very difficult to find a restaurant that will accommodate that, especially Chinese restaurants as most dishes are heavy in sodium and soy sauce. So when I ordered cumin stirfry lamb, I tentatively requested low sodium and they said yes. I got a dish very tasty but low sodium. Guess what? I’ll order from them again and again.???
