The reason for 3 stars is that the food was mid (I would love to give 3.5 stars if I could). Some dishes stood out - the peanut noodles, the lobster with the same noodles, salmon crudo, and wings were pretty good too. Everything else was either not great or very mid - the platter, calamari, salmon was not crispy skin and was overcooked, fries, sardine bruschetta. We spent $400 with tip and I only liked or remembered about 20% of what we ordered. Drinks are beautiful and creative. It would be great for a drink and sexy vibes, but I would go somewhere else to eat. I forgot to take pictures (OOPS)

The food was just OK. My friend received the wrong food he didn't ask for. When he told them, they scraped the food off of his plate back into the food container for others to order. This is cross contamination and I'm pretty sure it's not legal. My friend who ate here with us got food poisoning. Won't be coming back. Bachi Box is much better - and probably cheaper too.

If Atlanta had a "must-return" restaurant list, Poor Calvin's would easily be at the top of mine…read more Every single time I'm in Atlanta, this is one reservation I refuse to miss. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels intimate, upscale, and full of energy without trying too hard. It's the kind of place that instantly makes the night feel special. What keeps me coming back is how creative the menu is. Poor Calvin's has mastered the balance between Southern comfort food and bold Asian fusion flavors, and somehow every dish feels like a signature dish. The lobster fried rice is unforgettable, the crispy beef is packed with flavor, and the lobster mac and cheese deserves every bit of hype it gets online. Even the cocktails feel thoughtfully crafted instead of rushed. One thing I love is that the experience is consistently great. The service is always attentive, the presentation is beautiful, and the portions are generous enough that you'll probably be thinking about your leftovers the next day. I've brought friends here, recommended it to coworkers, and honestly judge my Atlanta trips by whether or not I made it to Poor Calvin's. You can tell why this place has developed such a loyal following. It's not just dinner -- it's an experience. Whether you're visiting Atlanta for the first time, planning date night, or celebrating something special, Poor Calvin's delivers every single time. Reservations are absolutely worth it.

Starting with the service, it was honestly amazing from the door to the table to the bar. Everyone I came in contact with was very hospitable and made our experience great. However, the food was underwhelming. We ordered every single appetizer that our server suggested. I will give them. The appetizers are good with notable mentions for the tuna spoons, the oxtail, spring rolls, and the dumplings. The entrées, though were not my favorite. The filet mignon is more of a beef and broccoli situation and although we knew that it easily gave me a higher end mall Chinese food. The fried rice was extremely dry. We had the lobster and the shrimp. The lobster fried rice had little tomato no lobster in it and for the price it was disappointing. We also got chicken lo mein which probably was the best entrée we had. I will say the drinks are amazing if I had to choose I would probably go back and just get drinks and appetizers. One note for the restaurant, we had the spare ribs which were extremely red on the inside and had a very tangy taste, and unfortunately everyone at my table that had it the next day was running to the restroom. That was the only common denominator we could find. Our food did come out in a timely manner however, some of it was lukewarm, it gives they may make them in batch and bring them out. They came out before our drink. It is very aesthetically pleasing in here. I will give them that. We went on a Friday night and the music was amazing. Good R&B hits!

The service was excellent. They have a very nice wine, cocktail, and mocktail list. I had the purple rain, light and bubbly. My friend enjoyed her gingery King's Ransom. The menu is Chinese and Asian fusion, and a short list of sushi. Chinese is always meant to be shared. We had the miso truffle salmon and each of the steam buns to start. I thought the salmon was very good, I do not normally like capers, but liked the way they prepared them. The katsu was probably the best of the buns, nicely crispy. The tofu was good a well, with a nice kick, the young one in our group found it too spicy. I would not order the short rib again, it was fine, but I've had much better short rib. We then had the chicken satay, roti canai, and the miso cod. The chicken satay had good flavor, and paired well with the peanut sauce and pickles. I did find it a bit too fatty. The miso cod was perfectly cooked, and the flavor was just right. Note that it is a very small portion. The best dish was the roti, a yellow curry with chicken and veggies with two flaky peice of roti. So good. The star of the meal though was the mango sticky rice, with sorbet and small bits of mochi. This is one of the best versions I've ever had. Do not miss this dessert! The issue I had with our visit is we, a group of three, were seated by the door, which was also near the kitchen door. The seating felt cramped, and every few minutes one of the doors was slamming, which made it a less pleasant experience. There were also several other tables open that we could have been seated at instead.

We were able to quickly order and since it's made fresh, it took a few minutes to make. I didn't realize my Mora roll was spicy, the crab salad was made with spicy mayo. I didn't send it back but I should have asked questions. I don't eat spicy food but I ate it. It was roughly $40 for two rolls and edamame. It also cost $15 to park so factor that into the cost of your meal. I agree the rolls are big so I may take a bit to get the whole thing in your mouth.

I'll begin, as all honest assessments should, with the disappointment so that what follows may be…read moreconsidered with clear eyes and an unclouded palate. I ordered the Shandong braised chicken, a dish presented with its protein resting atop a glossy sauce and a generous scattering... ten or more pieces of accompanying dough. In theory, this bread should serve as both sponge and companion, absorbing the depth of the braise and rounding the dish into comfort. In practice, it was profoundly compromised. The dough was unmistakably moldy, visibly, undeniably so. This alone is alarming in any dining establishment; it signals a breakdown not just in execution, but in fundamental kitchen vigilance. More troubling than the oversight itself was the response. When the issue was brought to the attention of the waiter, the reaction suggested familiarity rather than concern as though such an occurrence fell within the realm of the expected. There was no urgency, no visible embarrassment, no effort to meaningfully rectify the moment. The tone felt faintly dismissive. The effect on the room was immediate: the couple seated ahead of us, having witnessed the exchange, opted against ordering an entrée at all. That, in itself, speaks volumes. There were, however, redeeming elements. The spicy beef was well-prepared, delivering heat with balance rather than bravado. The diced potatoes were excellent, crisp at the edges, tender within, and seasoned with confidence. These dishes hinted at a kitchen capable of competence, even finesse, when fundamentals align. The atmosphere added an unexpected layer. Spa music drifted through the dining room an odd choice for a meal that aims to be bold and hearty, creating a tonal dissonance that never quite resolved. Service hovered in the realm of "acceptable," buoyed largely by polite refrains of "yes sir" and "no ma'am," though these formalities felt more like compensation for a lack of true attentiveness than genuine hospitality. I would not go so far as to discourage anyone from dining here. There is promise, and there are flashes of real quality. But I would offer this advice plainly and without drama: inspect your food carefully. Mold has no place on the plate, and until that reality is treated with the seriousness it demands, the experience remains compromised no matter how good the potatoes may be.

The bartender and service were also great, so no complaints there. The problem was the main reason you come to a place like this: the noodles. My lo mein came out cold, completely lacking flavor, and the texture was mushy. Even when it came back hot, it still tasted like nothing, which is disappointing when noodles are supposed to be the star. On top of that, paying $16.99 for basic garlic vegetables feels unreasonable, especially when the food quality didn't match the price. Overall, service was solid, a couple dishes were good, but the food that should define the restaurant fell flat. With the price point being what it is, I'm not sure I'd rush back.
