The best part of my business trip to Atlanta. We had read about it from Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network, and since it was so close to our hotel, we knew we had to try it. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful, explaining everything in detail and giving us great recommendations. We went with the popular lobster fried rice and were able to fit dessert even after finishing the generous portion on rice. Both the rice and the red velvet cake were unique, beautiful, and simply delicious. Highly recommend and will certainly visit again when I'm in the area!
My girlfriend and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary together here. It was a good experience. The customer service was very nice and we enjoyed the drinks. I do believe you need to have an Asian Fusion palette to enjoy some of the food. It was food I’ve definitely never had before.
Best frogs legs ever! Tasty and juicy! Service was amazing and helpful. Best bbq ribs we have ever had and we’ve had a lot! Can’t say enough positive things about this wonderful restaurant.
This food is ultra-creative and served nicely. The wait staff is up to date on all the menu items and can answer any questions so you don’t doubt what is about to come your way. We loved the food and the service. The bar service is excellent and is also creative.
