Where is the best Chinese food in Atlanta?

Most of metro Atlanta's regional Chinese cooking is on Buford Highway in Chamblee and Doraville, and in Duluth and Johns Creek in Gwinnett and north Fulton. Intown Atlanta has fewer Chinese restaurants, so it is worth the drive up I-85 or Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.
