The award-winning pastry chef Katherine King continues to chalk up fans. Now you can have both with this established Chinese restaurant in Parkside Shopping Center under the ownership of two ex-Oriental Pearl managers. The chef, Malaysian, whips up an eggplant hot pot so good you want to cry. Beware of the Chinese-American menu and ask for the Chinese specials. Gallic elegance belies its budget beginnings with flea market d cor so smartly integrated only a sharp eye sees mismatched napery and a country club monogram on the cutlery.
Lunch is exquisite with salads, warming soups, and a perfectly executed entr e or two.
Dinner's menu is more extensive and equally well-cooked. The service is not as up to par with the food, so be prepared for lapses. The wines are well-chosen and on balance the experience totally enjoyable. The bill, is also French, namely fully priced. Downtown Atlanta sports a hip, chic eatery, Mumbo Jumbo.
