This is one of the best restaurants my family and I have ever visited! We really enjoyed the innovative ways that the chef combined influences of Asian and Southern cuisine to create dishes that are truly unparalleled in their excellence. He is truly a mad food genius! Five stars!

This is not your typical brunch spot: It’s like Penn Asian meats, soul food. I had a chicken and pandan waffle. My friend had the seafood omelette. The meal was delicious and the sangria was beautiful. The chef is famous for not customizing any of its dishes. Our waiter, Enoch, with friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable.

One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta! Their lamb chops are so good. I went last week after not going for a while and our server was amazing as well as the food and drinks. I wish i remembered our servers name because his service and recommendations were on point. I tried the mussels for the first time and as a mussel lover, they were 10/10. Our first cocktail was OK but the server recommended something else and it was delicious. Can’t wait to return.

Visited for the first time and loved it. From the drinks to dessert. Everything was great! The food was so full of flavor and unique! I was there with a group of friends. We shared appetizers, entrees, and a dessert. Everything was delicious. Our server was so knowledgeable and described everything we ordered. I will be back!

I’m not sure where to start because it was all so amazing! We had a weekday early dinner reservation so we parked in the adjacent lot. They don’t have a lot of spaces but they have valet for busier weekends. The ducks were good and reasonable. The smoked duck was the appetizer specialty and it was delicious! The shrimp and lobster tail curry was literally one of the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had authentic Thai curry in Bangkok. The peach cobbler empanada was excellent – highly recommend!! The service was phenomenal and the over all experience was one of the best I’ve had in the Atlanta area. Adding to my short list of favorite restaurants in Atlanta. I’ll definitely be back.

I heard ppl talk about this place for a while and finally tried it for myself and I am delighted that I did. The Asian Sould Food fusion is amazing. Now, I will say that they are NOT cheap but worth every penny! Our server was phenomenal and well versed in explaining the menu. He made it hard to choose! ❤️
