   Between the excellent food, drinks and service, it’s impossible to come here and not have a good time. The lobster crawfish wontons and fried green tomatoes with Korean beef are must-haves. I have yet to find a great bao spot in Atlanta but was so happy to try their duck bao special which was so good! The Asian fusion cuisine here is solid but the bartenders here show an equal passion for their cocktails and deserve their own shout out. Their “Pho” drink… what?! Don’t ask, just order it. When it comes to food reviews, I care about taste above anything else… ambiance, service, noise… idc, but I do want to mention that you will not find a poor server at Poor Calvin’s… every single person who works here does their best to ensure you’re having a good experience and it shows.

   Excellent experience. Great ambiance, food and service. The off-menu specials were a great surprise and were delicious.

   Incredible restaurant I cannot recommend enough. Food and service were impeccable. I wish I lived in Atlanta so I could come here every week.

   We went to Poor Calvin’s and I was very excited because I love Asian food and I had heard some good things. When we arrived we were sat in the very back of an empty restaurant next to another couple about a half a foot away. Our waiter was very nice, if like to clarify that! When we ordered drinks we were told they were still making the ginger for the ginger beer so my husband ordered something else. At the time there was only one other couple to the right of us so he come and sat next to me so we could share more easily. Eventually another table came and were seated next to us. We were not extremely crowded and I will say the restaurant minus the bar was empty. Our waiter came to inform us the manager wanted us to sit across from each other like we were. We asked ti be seated somewhere else because it did seems very cramped. We were told no, so we asked for our check to leave. We had 2 of our three items we ordered which were fine, definitely not worth the whole experience of feeling talked down to. There are so many great restaurants in Atlanta, I’d skip Poor Calvin’s. Maybe the manager and owner shouldn’t ask a waiter to do there dirty work. Don’t bother with this place.

   I can always count the food to be in point here. Both visually appealing and satisfying to the palate.
