My husband and I were in Atlanta attending a conference and doing some research when we came across…read morePoor Calvin's online. We intentionally avoided reading reviews because we wanted to form our own opinion, and we're so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by the host, which immediately set the tone for a great dining experience. Once seated, our waiter was attentive, personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care that we enjoyed our meal. The food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent. Poor Calvin's delivered from start to finish. If you're visiting Atlanta or you're a local looking for a restaurant that combines exceptional food with outstanding hospitality, Poor Calvin's is well worth the visit. We left with absolutely no complaints and look forward to returning the next time we're in Atlanta.

So poor calvins was such a treat. What they had there was super solid and it would definitely be…read moresomething that I would consider a go-to if I was feeling like I really wanted to dabble in some of this Asian fusion food and I was in the area. Jojo was an excellent waiter and he took care of the table very well. The last time I went was the first time I went so I went ahead and had him give the list of things that were good and the perspectives on the food. He knew his stuff and did it in great detail. Trained really well. Awesome experience . I took an Uber. I don't actually know about the parking situation but you can probably find parking because of where it's at. Just keep in mind that it's in an area where it's going to be pay-to-park so don't think you're going to get away with something for free . The ambience is nice and it's a lot more elegant than what you would think. Not over-the-top elegance though, not at all, but it is very neat and well-placed. Everybody is super friendly when you come in and the establishment is very clean . Shanghai pork belly eggs - I saw something that said that the deviled eggs were good so I gave them a shot and they did not disappoint. They were super flavorful. That was almost a little confusing because you had egg there and you had it lightly deep-fried and you had pork belly and you had what it seemed to be like was jelly. It was a whole lot of flavor happening at one time. I don't have any issue with it, not whatsoever. It was a really good appetizer and you get about four of them so you actually get to taste it and then taste it again and make sure you're tasting all the flavors correctly lol . Drunken noodle scallops and lobster - so the noodles were really good. They came in a little bowl with a tea light to keep them warm. That was pretty cool as far as optics go but the food itself was good. Now when you get something like seafood you kind of expect it to be little or not huge portions but this was a different story. They had two pieces of lobster tail in there so you peel the lobster tail out and you chop it up and there was plenty of lobster meat and the scallops that were in there as well were huge. You have to be able to probably cut those in half to eat with your pasta as you use the fork in the bowl. It was plenty of seafood. There was almost more filling in the bowl than there was pasta, which is crazy! The flavor of it was sweet and savory and it wasn't as if one thing carried the dish. All the way around the dish was good. Lemongrass steamed mussels - now these are pretty good. Originally I was going to order the soup on the menu but JoJo said that the soup was basically the broth for the mussels so I just went ahead and canceled that. They were good and they were savory. They weren't the best mussels in the world but they are really good and the broth had the lemongrass flavor everywhere in your mouth. Super good. Also usually you may get like eight mussels or maybe 12 of them but this order came with like 25 of them and it was a huge order so that's not to be slept on. It came with a really toasted bread that you would use for the broth at the bottom. That broth after you finish could definitely be used for something else. Very tasty . Overall this is absolutely a stellar spot. I have zero complaints about it. The food was good. The ambiance was great. The service was superior and they might have another customer returning soon enough . It was a great fusion of food and flavors.

PARKING (4/5): They have some parking right in front or you…read morecan park on the grass/dirt nearby. It looks like make-shift parking, but everyone was doing it so I just followed the trend! AMBIANCE (4/5): Tons of indoor & outdoor patio seating, although it seemed like everyone pre-ordered or picked up to go. They have 2 long communal tables and a ton of 2-4 people tables. The wood tables make it look rustic, pop music playing so it's not awkwardly quiet. SERVICE (3/5): You order at the counter first, a single cashier, but it goes fairly quickly. Most of the staff is in the back kitchen. It's more "serve yourself". You grab your own drinks from the fridge, all utensils, napkins, and water are already on the table, and throw your own trash away, everything is in disposable containers. FOOD (4/5): $22 BUILD YOUR OWN BOWL: I personally didn't like the signature rice, I wanted the crispy rice fritters but they were sold out at 1:30pm on a Friday. The crispy Brussels were AMAZING! Definitely get this for a (+$2.50 upgrade). Bulgogi ribeye was sweet and delicious! Cashier offered a side of spicy Korean sauce which I didn't realize I'd be charged for, just wish she told me it was an additional cost (+$0.75). It doesn't need any extra sauce, the bowls are very saucy! And I'm a heavy sauce person. Also added a fried egg (+$2). The bowl was very delicious, minus the signature rice, I'd get all crispy Brussels next time! $4 BUTTERFLY TEA: very sweet, but good! $4 MINI COOKIES (4-PACK): I got 2 chocolate chip and 2 banana chip cookies. A little dry, but yummy. OVERALL (4/5): This is a FAST-CASUAL restaurant. They ask for automatic tip at the cashier, but you pretty much service yourself except when they bring out the food. I honestly wasn't expecting to spend this much for a quick lunch (total was $36), but I wanted to try everything. Now I know what I like and don't like here and excited to try some of the other bowl options! Definitely recommend this place! Very yummy!

I've been twice now and have had the chance to sit both upstairs and downstairs, and each experience has been amazing. The service? Easily a 10/10. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Martini and the Lychee Martini. Ruby's bartender is truly A1....they know exactly what they're doing. Both cocktails were balanced, creative, and so good. For food, we ordered the Brussels sprouts, Pow Pow Shrimp, Dan Dan Noodles, Miso Cod, and Chicken Satay. Every single dish was a 10/10...except for the Miso Cod. Unfortunately, it didn't taste as fresh as I expected and had a slightly fishier flavor than I prefer. I was definitely a little disappointed, but thankfully every other dish more than made up for it. Overall, Ruby Chow's continues to be one of my favorite Asian fusion spots in Atlanta. I can't wait to go back--whether it's for a date night with my husband or maybe even a birthday dinner. See you again soon, Ruby!

This is a very cute restaurant! Moody and sexy which is perfect for a girls night out, date, etc…read more I started at the bar while waiting on my friend. I ordered the salmon hand roll for $8 (happy hour special). I found the hand roll to have a LOT of rice and a little salmon. I think $4-5 is a better price point. They also had drink specials and it looks like wine specials on Wednesday's (I overheard a couple saying it--it was not offered by the bartender, which I found interesting). For Happy Hour I think their prices are excessive - with $14 for drinks and $8+ for tiny apps. I found service to be good. It took a long time for the hand roll to come out (over 25 minutes). When my friend arrived we both ordered the lobster fried rice dish. I could smell the rice was burned and it was when I tasted it. The server quickly replaced it and the new dish was fine and came out relatively quickly (much quicker than a raw hand roll). They also have valet which is $5 and I think you can park for the same cost as well. I found the restaurant to be very cute, food was good, but I wouldn't go out my way to return.

So me and my big back strutted in and came across this lovely restaurant and noticed they had an assortment of different bao. I chose three different proteins. And I thoroughly enjoyed them all! I got the pork belly bao, the beef Bulgogi style bao, and the hot honey shrimp bao. They were so flavorful and delicious and that bun so moist and perfect. Except for the wonderful lady that gave me my order, It's a pretty much non-personable restaurant. You're just pretty much placing your order at a kiosk. But it does make it easy. Just know what you want before you walk up to the kiosk because if you get a little overwhelmed with the options like me and take a long time you might end up with the long line of hungry people behind you lol Inside the hall, there's plenty of places to sit and the vibe is cool. They have events inside the hall by the way as well during the week, so if you stop by to grab a bao then maybe you'll able to take advantage of an event.

Best dumplings that I have EVER had. Ever…read more I visited Mushi Ni one afternoon while at The Works and when I saw the dumplings, I knew I had to check them out. I initially planned for the bao buns only, but the prices were quite reasonable thanks to the $16 lunch special - so I thought I'd try a bit more. So glad that I did. Mushi Ni has an electronic ordering system which was really easy to navigate. I chose my lunch special and added in my dumplings, and poof - the order was on the way to the kitchen. I walked around the food hall for a few so I don't really know how quickly my order was completed, but when I returned, the guy behind the counter saw me and started bagging it up. I found a seat outside for some natural lighting and started snapping away. I really went to enjoy and share the bao buns but figured I'd have a quick bite of the dumplings and keep it pushing. Listen. WOW. I was immediately taken aback because, what?! They were spicy, so savory and full of pork, with a little punch of lime in there somewhere. I didn't even need to have a second bite before I decided that I *had* to order a second round. Wow. The fries were also phenomenal! Super crunchy, the seasonings on top were such a nice touch. And the trend continued with the fluffy, flavorful bao buns. Seriously just an all-around amazing experience. I thought I'd enjoy their food but this experience exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to have more of those dumplings!

First the food was actually tasty. Very overpriced but tasted good. I had the pot stickers as an…read moreappetizer and they were decent. But for $7 it feels extremely cheap to have veggie potstickers (and not state that explicitly on the menu). Most places charge $7 for pork or shrimp potstickers. Then for my entree I had the panang curry with fish. My first issue with this is for an additional charge of $8 or $9 DEEP frying a fillet and plopping it on top feels extremely cheap. If it was $4 I'd expect that for almost $10 I'd think pan frying it at least like the salmon they have on the menu would be the default or at least informed to the customer. The extremely high price for the pre prepared curry with veggies with a protein not even mixed in but on top and veggie dumplings is one reason for a star deduction. The service this past time I went was absolutely abysmal. When I came in the server didn't seem to want me to sit at a table (I was a party of 1) so she nudged me to the bar which was alright but when I sat at the bar the bartender rolled his eyes and looked annoyed that I was sitting there. Then he eventually came over didn't greet me and just put menus in front of me. Then when I was ready to order he came over still without saying a word took my order and afterwards asked "do you water or anything to drink" (he hadn't given me any water when I sat down). I answered yes and a Thai iced tea please. My food came out quickly and he brought my Thai iced tea. But never got any water. Then after trying to get his attention for 10 minutes I eventually got him to request my check and he brought it once again with not a word spoken. He clearly hated being there and his job and was so unfriendly I left as quickly as I could even though I was hoping to sit and have a cocktail and do some work.

Validation code will get something sent to your phone and you'll use it to negate the parking. Coming in the service was pretty good. Last time I went in it was actually pretty quiet and nobody was there so I got all the servers and bartenders to myself lol. But seriously everybody was super nice and really friendly and explained the menu very well and no complaints about that See you space cowboy - This was a pretty good and very balanced drink. I wanted something with bourbon in it so this is what I came up with from looking at the menu. Pretty solid and not overpowering at all. Salt and pepper shrimp - the salt and pepper shrimp was the star of the show to me as far as the appetizers that I had. It came with five of them but I could probably have eaten 25 of those joints. They were amazing. Out of the appetizers that I had, they were the best ones and they actually came pretty large. It's not like you got little baby shrimp. These were impactful, powerful shrimp that packed a heck of a flavor. I would 200% get these again and maybe I might get three orders of them by myself lol. Soft shell crab - the crab was good but the crab itself was only okay but the sauce in the bowl of the crab actually carried it. It's not a bad thing, but at the same time by itself it was only okay but the sauce definitely added a little extra to it. Grilled Octopus - the octopus was pretty good but at the same time it was a little more chewy than I would've liked it to be. It wasn't impossibly chewy. It was actually still pretty good. The thing that made the octopus actually pop was the sauce that came with it. The sauce was like a chili-lime sauce and that actually carried the dish itself. Without that it would've just been okay but the sauce definitely helped. The sauce went well with a couple of things actually . But I'll still order doctors again. It was actually pretty decent. Bangkok Hot fries - the fries are actually good. They had a a spice to them. That was a kick in the face but also citrusy as well. So you got a little bit of heat and citrus at the same time. They came out really good. Hot fresh and that would have been really good on a burger LOL Overall, it smells pretty good if you want small plates. This is a spot to go to now. They do have regular and large size portions, but that's not this place's bag, which is okay. If you're in the business of just trying a bunch of stuff, this is a good spot to go to because they actually have a combo where you can get a few things off of the small place menu to try and share. This is a good spot if you just want to stop in somewhere to try a few Asian dishes.
