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!)

He was acting nice to me at the initial consultation but after getting the money and when things didn't turn out right, he did a 180 on me. Like some other ladies, my eyelids were decent before surgery, I just wanted some enhancements. Well, Kun Kim botched them so bad, my upper waterlines are now exposed to the air and cause severe dry eyes, which I have to use prescription eye drops chronically. I'm afraid to face people because of my deformed upper eyelids. I can only get out of the house after spending copious amounts of time tightlining my upper waterlines (which makes the dry eyes worse, and all that chemical couldn't be too good for my eyes when they constantly touching them) and fake thick-framed glasses to help hide the very surgical-looking eyelids. When I politely expressed my concerns at follow up appointments, he laughed in my face and tried to gaslight me into thinking that he did an excellent job and that my eyelids were completely fine. He then went into the next room and loudly told his next patient about me and they both laughed as though my disfigurement was the most funny thing they've ever heard! Total unprofessionalism that a caring and ethical doctor would never imagine doing! By the way, during my surgery, he and his assistants were talking trash about a patient who just stopped by to complain about her recent surgery done by him. Kun Kim kept mocking me and blatantly told me to learn to like my new looks. I feel like a sucker for being swindled thousands of dollars to suffer and look horrendous for the rest of my life. This crook needs to shutter his butcher shop and stop ruining more people's lives!

Initially we were greeted by two of the staff members and walked past several other staff members, as we walked further in the store a woman rudely asked if we had an account. I told her no that we were just browsing their products. The woman then told us we needed an account, I told her that if we were interested in their product we'd inquire about setting up an account. She told us that we could not look at their product. If an account was required to browse the store I would have expected to be told that before were able to come in the store and begin browsing. The ladies attitude was very rude and enough of a reason for me to not set up an account with this company and to leave a 1 star review for poor service. I have a valid tax-id and a resellers license.
