"The watermelon salad was uniquely delightful, unlike anything I've ever tasted before. The sea scallop dish quickly became one of my favorites, which is impressive since I'm generally not fond of scallops. The carbonara was enjoyable but could easily be swapped for another option. The red snapper was delicious and had a good portion size. However, I was quite disappointed with the rack of lamb; it appeared to need more cooking and was a bit too rare, which unfortunately made me feel unwell afterward. This affected my enjoyment of the last two desserts—the lemon olive cake and the lunar chocolate. Overall, I believe the menu could benefit from better curation. My main concerns were the undercooked lamb and the generous portion sizes that made it challenging to fully appreciate the experience. I enjoyed my time at the Alden, but I think the waitstaff could use additional training regarding the dishes. If I return, I’ll likely opt for the à la carte menu instead."

"The only thing I hate is the line out the door to get a drink with only one door, so if you wait inside you cannot get out or if you wait outside, someone is blocking the door to get your order, which is a fire hazard. There needs to be a second door.Also, I miss the drink card, I buy a minimum of 3 at a time for myself family and I guess they no longer offer it? I'd love a VIP option, since it adds up quickly I love to tip 20-25% per drink.I love the Earl Grey Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly which is a beautiful flavor profile or the #3 Lemon Green Tea with crushed ice. So delicious and refreshing all year round.Today, I tried the cherry slush which is nice, not like the gross overly sweet kind you get at QT. The Passion lychee rainbow pop boba is fun, but I've had so many in the hot Atlanta summers, I've burnt myself out on them.Parking: Parking sucks in evenings and weekends, so beware."

"My daughter and I discovered this charming little restaurant for lunch thanks to our ophthalmologist's recommendation, and it was a delightful experience! We both ordered the lamb plate, which was absolutely delicious, complemented by sides of hummus, baba ganoush, and chopped salad. The bread was perfect as well. The service was excellent, and we could see that other diners were also well taken care of while we enjoyed our lunch. Taking a chance on a small, lesser-known restaurant can be a gamble, but this time it paid off completely. This is definitely a place worth visiting if you find yourself in the area!"

"Really love this place for my Asian fusion fix. The food is delicious and the atmosphere they created is a great place to take family and friends. This is especially true if you want to sit outside on the beautiful patio. I prefer ordering from the Robata Grill section of the menu and trying different items. It is great for trying new food items and getting as adventurous as you please. I really enjoy the Yellowtail Collar. It is a limited item, so be sure to get your hands on some before they run out. It is a delicious fish dish that is cooked to perfection at this location. The flavor is out of this world. The H.F.C. is delicious as well. They are very tender fried chicken nuggets. The breading is seasoned well and the sweet chili sauce is a great compliment. My wife loves the Bluefin Poke bowl. They are a brewpub as well, so they have a nice collection of house beers and other alcoholic beverages. The service was attentive and very helpful in offering menu items for others who had not been to Hopstix before. I will be back soon for another great dining experience!"
