Ruby Chow's, an Asian-fusion staple based in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward, will open a second location on the city's Westside in summer 2027. The expansion will feature unique dining experiences, including a new chef's table.
Why it matters
Management selected the Westside area near Monday Night Brewing because they view the neighborhood as an ideal destination for a specialized culinary experience. This move aims to bring the restaurant's signature pan-Asian cuisine and cocktails to a new part of the city.
The new site will feature dishes exclusive to the location representing 20 percent of the menu, while 30 to 40 percent of the original drink list will carry over. The space will also include a private chef's table capable of accommodating 12 guests.
The players
Ruby Chow's
An Asian-fusion restaurant founded by Guy Wong and Mike Blum that currently operates across from Ponce City Market.
Phillip An
He serves as the lead for the culinary team overseeing the menu development and kitchen operations.
The details
Led by culinary lead Phillip An, the new location on Trabert Avenue will introduce multicourse tasting menus focused on ingredients like pandan, ginger, and gochujang. These premium dining experiences will require customers to book their reservations in advance.
Timeline
The new restaurant location is scheduled to open during summer 2027.
Culture Shift
The expansion reflects the broader trend of destination dining hubs emerging in repurposed industrial corridors of Atlanta. This project mirrors the shift toward high-end, multicourse tasting experiences over traditional casual dining models.
Residents and visitors on the Westside can anticipate a new high-end dining option featuring multicourse tasting menus requiring advance reservations. The availability of a private chef's table will create a new premium booking opportunity for groups of up to 12 people.
The takeaway
Future patrons should note that the new location will prioritize a reservation-only format for its tasting menus. Guests looking for the classic Ruby Chow's experience will find some familiarity in the cocktail program, but should expect a more curated, exclusive menu selection.
