Located in the middle of Antique Market Row on Broad Street in Chamblee, in the Police station…read moreparking lot sits Broad Street Mercantile - A place that is bringing the new to an area known for the "old"! While not the biggest of places, they are packed with merchandise from entry to exit. The great thing about this place it they clearly focus on the local vendors and goods while only featuring a handful of nationally recognized brands. From candles to clothing to pet accessories they have everything you never knew you needed! It's definitely a great place to buy local gifts for folks that love having a little piece of Atlanta! I love this place for more than just what they sell, the décor is fantastic and pure farmhouse! They took time to make sure they had one true theme running from wall to wall, and even floor to ceiling! The flooring is beautiful and accented with great rugs, while the ceiling is "weather" metal decorative tiles. Even the displays feature true farmhouse aesthetic with country style tables placed on wooden pallets with burlap accents. They didn't even forget about the storage room which features a beautiful barn doors as the entrance. Simply put, they did a great job decorating this space to not only be charming and welcoming, but also functional. The service was great as well! We were welcomed before we even hit the door. She let us know she was available to help and then let us wonder around until we were ready to check out. At this time she chatted us up about our day and other local shops we should check out before thanking us for coming and inviting us back with a smile! Overall, this place was great. A few things were on the pricier side, but that is really expected in this variety of shop, especially in this area of the city. We try to hit "Antique Row" a few times a year, and Broad Street Mercantile will certainly be on the list of places to return to each time!

I actually bought a Magic Tree House book because it was bilingual and they had Traditional Chinese characters with bopomofo (alphabet) alongside the characters.

The cashier (who was probably the owner) was very nice! She spoke English and Mandarin.

The boutique was so cute we took our time checking every corner of the shop, and walked away with some lovely new pens for journaling. I'll be sure to come back any time I'm near here! And the surrounding complex had a surprising array of food, a lovely indoor/outdoor eating area, and stores full of international goods of many kinds. Maybe next time calls for a visit to Dim Sum next door followed by some tea from their shop!

Some of my absolute favorite outfits are from here and they have definitely expanded my fashion knowledge. They also have makeup artists that work there who will give you a touch up and makeup recommendations! I've loved every recommendation from them! It is literally the best stop for unique gifts. Everything is adorable and most of it is local, fair trade, or independent companies. I love shopping to support small businesses! The cafe is also wonderful. While it's only open during the week for coffee and desserts, the Saturday brunch is fantastic. Chef Carlos is a genius in the kitchen! Do not miss out on this amazing place!

I visited during a We love BuHi circular tour, this was our first stop. The owner talked with us…read moreabout her vision for the store. She wanted to create a space where visitors would feel happy and that would leaving them feeling better than when they came. There is a lot of women's clothing, a lot of local goods and gifts (jewelry, cosmetics, candles, cards, pop up glitter, coin purses, beard shampoo, etc.). The owner mentioned "Usually women don't like jeans shopping, so we made sure to have a lot of fun options to make it more enjoyable." She was so thoughtful toward her customers during her speech, which I think says a lot to the quality of the store. There is a cafe in the shop, as well. All baked goods are prepared in house. They sometimes have brunch available, but I believe it's seasonal. I think I heard that they're soon to have their last brunch for a while. Hello Gorgeous! Is a super cute place to get gifts for yourself or a friend!

Not at all a video rental store lol…read more They have a huge selection of knick knacks out front (like little Buddha statues, bamboo planters, etc) and all the clothes and costuming is in the back. The aiyi who works here owns an industrial sewing machine and can do alterations. Both the aiyi and shushu were so nice! Even though the place was bustling because of the Lunar New Year, they took time out to check in and work with me on what I needed. Bought a nice suit jacket here to celebrate my cultural heritage in the limited ways I know how Magnitudes cheaper and more accommodating than the other store in this plaza. If y'all want to support local, PoC owned businesses run by good people, stop shopping online and give this super charming place a shot!

It's one of the best plazas in Atlanta. You could spend weeks here, eating at a different place for lunch and dinner every day, and never eat at the same place twice. Every major city should have plazas like this. Atlanta is very fortunate to have the Asian Square.

Asian Square is an old Asian shopping center located on Buford Highway between Chamblee Tucker Rd…read more and I-285 in Doraville. My earliest memories of Asian Square are from Fall 2000, when I first moved to Atlanta. Back then (actually, since 1993), and up until circa 2010, Asian Square was home to a 99 Ranch Market, a popular Chinese supermarket chain from California. Times changed and bigger, newer Asian grocery stores opened in nicer, cleaner shopping complexes up north (e.g. Super H Mart, GreatWall, Assi), forcing 99 Ranch to close its only Georgia location. Asian Square was also home to restaurants such as Pho Hoa (Vietnamese noodle soup), Asiana Garden (Korean BBQ), a Thai restaurant, Fil-Am Star (one of metro Atlanta's only Filipino restaurants), and Hello Dau Hu (a Vietnamese snack shop which has since been absorbed into fellow Buford Highway competitor Viet Tofu ~Spring 2014). Those were just a handful of businesses that closed at Asian Square over approximately the past 15 years. These days, the main draws at Asian Square are undoubtedly Sweet Hut Bakery & Cafe (Asian pastries and bubble tea), Quoc Huong (Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches and pho), and, to a lesser extent, Ming's BBQ and BBQ Corner (Chinese, Cantonese food). Sweet Hut opened in April 2012 and became wildly successful. It brought people flocking back to Asian Square... Well, one tiny corner of it. Mamak, a Malaysian restaurant, opened September 2014 in the former Fil-Am space. Quoc Huong is considered by many to have the best banh mi sandwiches in Atlanta. I can't say I disagree. They are pretty darn good. Ming's BBQ has been around forever. Honestly, I'm surprised it's still around. Ming's is hidden towards the back of the shopping center, near the Shallowford Rd. entrance/exit. Ming's boasts quick and authentic plates of Cantonese-style street food, complete with fresh roasted pork on display and roasted duck hanging behind the storefront window. Ming's has a second, bigger, much newer location off of Pleasant Hill Rd. in Duluth (Gwinnett County). I ate at BBQ Corner several times in the early-to-mid 2000s. They served satisfying Chinese food and had dim sum service at one point too. In late 2013/early 2014, the restaurant temporarily closed and underwent a major renovation. As of 2014, BBQ Corner is back with a new storefront, a new dining room, and a new attitude. The four aforementioned restaurants presumably make up the bulk of Asian Square customer traffic today. Currently, I believe there are no more Korean-owned businesses at Asian Square. I think all of the businesses are owned or operated by either Chinese or Vietnamese people. King Maxim Nail Supply opened in a substantial space (I think part of the old 99 Ranch Market) in 2014. There are a lot of nail salon supply stores along Buford Highway and King Maxim adds another to the mix. Victoria Nail Supply is a smaller shop, also located at Asian Square. Other businesses include Bride & Fashion II (dresses), Kim Ngoc Jewelry, Eye Best / La Mejor Vision (optometrist's office and eyeglass frames store), Jimmy's Fine Jewelry, Vietnamese coffee shop Duy Long, Hair Capital (hair salon), The Gioi Am Nhac (Vietnamese video/music store I believe), Le Salon (another salon), ABF Travel (Chinese travel agency), Victoria Cosmetics, a dentist's office, a pediatric clinic, Asian herbal medicine shops, and more. Asian Square, as a functional shopping center, is simply outdated. It's not the cleanest shopping center nor is it modern or aesthetically pleasing. The storefronts and store spaces are worn and parking is a real issue here. The driveways are tight and the speed bumps are annoying, but necessary. It's been years and the void left by 99 Ranch's closure has yet to be filled. I heard from an Asian Square business owner that parking was one of the biggest challenges in trying to secure a tenant for that space. It makes sense when you look at other Asian shopping centers around town (and you don't have to look far). In the end, I am a fan of Asian Square. I've got several memories here. The place has character and it's a recognized "landmark" of sorts for the Asian community in Atlanta, especially those who have lived here a long time. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for this place. (Sweet Hut definitely helped!)
