  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    PC never disappoints our service was excellent. We brought a couple of friends for their first experience and they said the food was amazing! As newbies, the had to try the Lobster fried rice! Since Calvin was in the kitchen, I had the curry special which I absolutely loved!

    The food is amazing and the service is fantastic. They pay attention to every detail, even something as simple as my napkin fell on the floor. I came back and there was a fresh napkin. It makes a great combination with a night at the Fox or on its own. Will definitely be back.
