YoChef Pasta with shrimp and salmon. Also selected the spicy option and it was great!
3.5 D.

Food was great especially compared to other late night options! Quick and easy service

Fried shrimp
Terrell S.

Heard good things about this place but i guess i went on a bad night. The good: part of my meal was the sweet and spicy chicken wrap. The flavors popped and had just the right amount of sauce on it. The bad: ordered a side of fried shrimp and the mac and cheese bites. The fried shrimp was 6 little pieces of shrimp dipped in oil and over cooked. Seemed like they forgot to dip them in flour/fish fry or anything to give them a fried shrimp texture or look. They just came out like sauté shrimp. And the mac and cheese bites was fried great but it seemed like they used easy mac to make it which made them dry and flavorless. Lastly the fries was soggy and over seasoned. The only thing i would recommend on the menu is wrap.

I came here on a late Saturday night around 1:30 am and there was already a small crowd gathering up. Even with the cornavirus crisis, there was still a small crowd to get their food to go. I ordered the famous Yochefs Burger. It was $12 but definitely worth it. It was very thick and juicy. I loved the special sauce and onions inside of it. It definitely filled me up. It also came with Cajun fries that were just simply amazing. I highly recommend this place your in the Chamblee/Brookhaven/Atlanta area and hungry for some great late night food. I can't wait to come back and try some more different foods.

Cute bday party setup!

This place has fabulous food at very reasonable prices, and they will gladly customize anything on the menu. The owner and employees are incredibly nice. We did a 12-person birthday party there and they set it up for us with tablecloths, a banner and balloons! I wasn't sure if they could accommodate us, so I filled out the form on their website and was definitely impressed when the owner called me back within 30 minutes. Everyone had a great time, and the food was not only delicious, the portion sizes were large enough that we all had at least one leftover meal afterwards.

The Cajun Pasta Bundle
Journee R.

If I could eat yo chef everyday I would. The food is beyond amazing. The food is always prepared in a timely manner. The pasta is just to die for, if you need a late night spot definitely pull up and check them out!

Fries  were delicious and the Yo sauce was amazing.
Nick A.

I enjoyed this spot. It's open until 4am on the weekends and beats Waffle House (I get sick of IHOP or Waffle House for late night food). Now this isn't Michelin star food, but for late night food it's superb. You can't go wrong with the wings or the fries here. When you're looking for late night food in Atlanta and the bummy fast-food places won't do, this is your spot!

i ordered off uber eats!! it came pretty fasssst imma hugeeeeee pasta fan & honestly it taste like pasta from cicis pizza ! (BOMBBBBB AS HECK) !! i ordered " The Marley Pasta " and its bussinnn

The Cajun with Shrimp- good flavor just lacking protein for a $20 dish...
Maddie N.

I hate to do this but I need to say... why is there only 4 pcs of shrimp in the whole pasta dish?

YoChef Tibs entree.
Kevin C.

I was very enamored by this place, at first. I thought - Wow! This looks like a great place with a menu that sets it apart from just about all other restaurants. Then reality set in. I came here with two others last week in the early evening. There was only one other person sitting in the restaurant at the time. The woman at the counter was very helpful answering questions about the food, and offered suggestions that were helpful with selecting which items we wanted. After ordering, we sat at one of the picnic tables inside, and caught up with everything that happened since the last time we were together. The first of our food came out after about 20 minutes. The YoChef Wrap (chicken wrap) came first, but it came with cajun fries instead of the sweet potato fries that were ordered. About 5 minutes later, the Sweet & Spicy Pasta (linguine) and a bottle of cold tap water was brought to us. This is when one of my friends let the server know that she didn't get the sweet potato fries as ordered, and was apologized to and told that they will make it right for her with the correct fries. About 5 minutes later, my meal, YoChef Tibs (beef) was brought to me. About 10 minutes later, the sweet potato fries were brought out. I didn't try the chicken wrap, but my two friends shared it and the linguine, and they both said the wrap was good. I shared the tibs and rice meal, and it was okay. The rice was a little on the dry side, and the beef (cut in cubes) was well done. The beef was marinated and had good flavor, but was chewy. I was offered some "really hot" sauce to try on the meat, but it wasn't even hot to me. Although the linguine was shared between my two friends, they didn't even eat half of it. Nor did they want to take it home. I tried it and it was spicy, but just average. This restaurant is in a strip mall, and one of its selling point is that it's open until 4 am. Many businesses share the free parking lot, and parking spaces are always available. I rate this place 3 stars. I feel that most of the food is overpriced, and the service is slow. This restaurant prides itself on making healthy food for people. I can think of a lot of other restaurants that sell healthy quality food that isn't as expensive, and they bring everyone in groups their food at the same time.

We had a wonderful experience at Poach Social! I had to change plans last minute for a loved one's…read morebirthday celebration, and when I called two days before I needed a reservation, the staff was so kind and accommodating! We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

Title: Flavor Explosion, Soulful Hospitality & a Last-Minute Meal That Turned Magical…read more Let me just say this: what started as a "quick bite before closing" turned into one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in a long time. We arrived at The Poach Social about 20 minutes before closing, unsure if we'd be rushed--but instead, we were welcomed with warmth and ease. Lived the ambiance. Hunter, our server, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made us feel taken care of from the very start. Then came Victor, the owner and chef--and this is where things shifted from good to special. Without us even asking, he recommended a mocktail that felt like it was made just for me: a sorrel-based drink layered with ginger, spice, herbs, and fresh fruit. It was refreshing, balanced, and honestly one of the best non-alcoholic drinks I've had. We started with the jerk egg rolls... and I'm not exaggerating when I say we were clapping after the first bite. Crispy, juicy, flavorful, with a sweet-spicy sauce that just worked. We immediately knew we'd be taking more to go. For the main course, we ordered the Poach Social breakfast plate and the blackened salmon with polenta. The breakfast plate was comforting and well-executed, but the salmon dish? Absolutely unforgettable. Perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth texture, with creamy polenta and a rich sauce that brought everything together. It was a full-on flavor experience. The timing of everything--from drinks to apps to entrées--was seamless. Hunter checked in at the perfect moments, never too much, never too little. We ended up in a lovely conversation with Victor, who is not only talented but genuinely kind and passionate. He brought us complimentary slices of carrot cake, and even though we were already full... we ate every bite. No regrets. It was phenomenal. What I loved most is that this place doesn't just serve food--it creates an experience. There's intention, care, and heart behind everything. If you're in Atlanta, do yourself a favor and go. This place deserves to thrive. We will absolutely be back.

Typically I research and take a peek at the menu, photos, etc. but I didn't this time. Peters Street has ample street parking and a few lots for a fee. Just check the signs before you leave your car. The entry is unassuming because there's so many little places on this street but once you enter you're in another time! The medieval theme is super cool - a Barron greeted us at the door. Seating is casual - find a spot to sit and then order from the digital menu at the door. Orders are taken at the counter but entrees and drinks are brought to your table. The owner Josh was extremely accommodating! He gave us some tastings of coffee, tea and the French toast. 10/10! I personally ordered the Blueberry Matcha and a Bowl (done keto). Everyone's meal looked amazing and not a crumb was left. We left with some of the canned whiskey drinks - Strawberry Whiskey Sour and Kentucky Mule made with bourbon. Josh said best enjoyed mixed together! The photo opps, food, drinks and aesthetics are so good here. Only comment is that the tables are pub or cafe style and best for small groups or just takeover a section like we did. Enjoy!

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

The café and the cantina next door are physically connected and share a patio, but the café side has a calmer, cozier vibe. They've also got a little school‑store area with Latino handmade and authentic merch, which gives the space a unique touch. I went for the lunch special: chile relleno + fish tacos. Flavor‑wise, the food lands right between authentic Mexican and Tex‑Mex -- not trying too hard to be either, just doing its own thing. Fish Taco -- 9.2/10 Super solid. Fresh, well‑seasoned, and even better after I adjusted the garnishes to my liking. Chile Relleno -- 7/10 They use a four‑cheese blend, which was a bit overwhelming for me, and the batter was on the harder side. Still enjoyable, just different from the traditional style. Chips & Salsa -- 9.5/10 (11/10 with the spicy add‑on!) Do yourself a favor and ask for the habanero crisps on the side. Mix those in and it becomes elite. Red Velvet Cheesecake -- 8.5/10 Rich, decadent, and a must if you've got a sweet tooth. And I have to shout out Charlie, who was holding down the entire café by herself. Friendly, patient, and on top of everything. She made the experience even better. Would definitely stop by again next time in town. Would recommend if youre in the area.
