The concept is "Asian Street Food" and, frankly, Straights (Ludacris's new restaurant) in the former Spice space at 5th and Juniper (if you walk straight out the front door of the hotel you are at 14th and Juniper) IMHO has better food and is the same "Asian Street Food" concept.

This is not up to Jean George standards in my opinion. What is with those uniforms?

Atlanta is not a "foodie" city and the restaurants reflect that. As I stated in my initial review, avoid the spice market.

Friends have tried the place for lunch and dinner. They say it's rarely busy. I don't see this restaurant staying open more than a year. Seriously, the restaurants website isn't even up.
