• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown
Booked 64 times today
We know the word "fusion" has been wielded about to justify everything from Hula Burgers to Mexican lasagna. But the East-meets-South brand of fusion happening at Poor Calvin's? It's creative; it's innovative; and it's probably unlike anything you've tasted in the ATL. After working in kitchens around the world, Calvin Phan wanted to shake things up a little. And so, into the mac 'n cheese, the Thai spices went. Now, Calvin's giving Southern staples, like sea bass and fried chicken, a decidedly creative Asian-inspired twist (and a nip of spice, too). He has created innovative dishes, approached in much the same way, leave the hands of Calvin Phan day in and day out. His dedication and attention to detail are evident in each dish and dessert. You won't be disappointed.*Last seating 1 hour before close*

    Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

    We were met and seated upon arrival. Our server was Rueben, and he was very informative on meals, appetizers and specials etc. He did a great job explaining tastes, food pairings. The food was phenomenal! Tastes and portions were perfect. We couldn’t have asked for better care and service for the entire meal. Highly recommend this location and we will be back!

    Ruby Chow’s delivered an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed by the host, and the bartender went above and beyond with her friendly demeanor and enthusiasm for the cocktail menu—such a pleasure to chat with her. The food was exceptional, with every dish cooked to perfection. We tried the blackened scallops, walnut shrimp (a personal favorite), Peking duck buns, shaking beef, and Brussels sprouts. Each plate arrived beautifully prepared and full of flavor. While we were too full for dessert, it’s something I’d definitely save room for next time! The ambiance was another highlight. The vibe struck a great balance—relaxed yet festive—and the low noise level made it easy to enjoy conversation. Ruby Chow’s is perfect for a date night, catching up with a friend, or a small group dinner. Parking was straightforward thanks to the valet service, which is just $5 (don’t forget to tip). To find it, head to the right of the restaurant’s patio entrance. As you turn left into the parking area, it may look like you’re entering a gated apartment complex, but just before the gate arm, you’ll see the garage entrance to the left with the valet sign. Ruby Chow’s truly hit all the marks: delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend it—10/10!
