    The 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.

    The "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.

    Foodie 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.

    Octopus 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.

    We 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.

    Vietnamese Lamb Sausage grits, pan-drippings, green tomato relish, lettuce & mint. Excellent!

    When 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.

    The octopus was great, everything else was bland and/or under cooked.

    Don't get the chicken and waffles. It's gross. I eat anything and it was pretty disgusting. All 4 of us agreed.

    Wasn't the actual restaurant's food. Was a pop-up ramen joint. Was pretty good, but a little over-priced.
