BradNovember 3, 2015The food here is simply amazing. Recommend the spiced smoked lamb as well as their insanely tasty wings. Also, the Bangkok drink sounds strange, but is well worth trying.- EaterJanuary 3, 2014The "comfort bar food with an Asian pantry" at Edward Lee's Actors Theatre spot appeals to diners with tastes as traditional as Shakespeare (go with the burger) and as experimental as Pinter.
- Sharon ExleyMay 27, 2018Foodie delight & haven. Off whiskey trail yet superb cocktails. A toy tiger will kill rye cravings. Terrific ramen, organic beef + cool tees on friendly staff. Take a whiskey break & milk mustache it.
- Jihyun OhFebruary 24, 2018Octopus bacon - so, so good! The ramen was just what I wanted on a cold evening although I would’ve preferred more broth. The pork was delicious.
Joe GramcMarch 23, 2018Great spot, cocktails are excellent menu has great variety. On my most recent trip, octopus bacon and roasted cauliflower were killer!- Norman EllisAugust 24, 2014Recommend the Sweet Ruby cocktail, Octopus Bacon, Scallops and Pork Belly and SORGHUM AND GRITS ICE CREAM

Atlanta Food & Wine FestivalApril 23, 2013We never know what Edward Lee is going to surprise us with next, don’t miss out on the excitement he’s sure to provide at this year’s Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, May 30-June 2, 2013.
- Jeff BeseckerOctober 27, 2013Vietnamese Lamb Sausage grits, pan-drippings, green tomato relish, lettuce & mint. Excellent!
William DeanMarch 30, 2014When the chicken special tastes like the fish special and all spent too much time anywhere but where fresh food sits. This place is such a disappoint. From the appetizer to dessert. It was sad.
Nam LuuAugust 28, 2014Don't get the chicken and waffles. It's gross. I eat anything and it was pretty disgusting. All 4 of us agreed.
Steven CarrOctober 21, 2013Wasn't the actual restaurant's food. Was a pop-up ramen joint. Was pretty good, but a little over-priced.
