Casual spicy spot on Piedmont at Cheshire Bridge turns the heat way up on traditional in-and-out fast food.. In Short
This quick Asian spot gives a nice alternative to fast food flingers like the Varsity and 5 Guys, who play havoc with Atlantan's waistlines. The comfortable dining area with its mod ambience and cool fixtures accommodates with high-top tables and a few comfy booths. Suburban soccer moms on shopping sprees, buff gym boys and Midtown's movers and shakers line up to order healthy Vietnamese or Thai barbecue treats that are fresh and made in a flash. Pair a veggie, shrimp, BBQ pork or chicken roll with the Thai BBQ Chicken Salad, a curry combo plate (green, massamun, yellow or panang), Pad Thai, or a saucy Thai mix. Add a meat to any entrée or go green. There are also a small selection of Pho soups and veggie rolls. Owners are friendly and accommodating and with minimal wait times, it's back home, on the treadmill or to the shops in no time.
