Chef Jason Liang and John Chen, owners of Michelin-starred O by Brush, are now serving sushi in Dunwoody’s High Street development. Their newest restaurant, Cuddlefish, focuses on temaki, or hand rolls. Designed to be more affordable and approachable than Brush—which is known for its omakase—Cuddlefish also features a cafe with coffee and pastries made by Liang’s wife, pastry chef ChingYao Wang

After seven years in the coffee industry, Ashley Saunders decided to pretty much stop drinking coffee. Saunders now co-owns Ash Coffee, which opened in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood in 2023. She keeps coffee alternatives on the menu for people like her who experience some adverse side effects with coffee. The most popular among the alternatives, she says, is matcha.

Chef Jason Liang, the culinary mastermind behind Brush Sushi, Cuddlefish, Momonoki, and Momo Café, is adding another Asian-inspired restaurant to his ever-growing list. Lucky Star will open in January or February 2024 with two distinct spaces: a casual café and bar in the Star Metals lobby and a reservation-only back-room bar serving elevated cocktails designed by Kirk Gibson (the Giving Kitchen).

You can learn a lot about the origins of Momonoki, a new fast-casual joint in Midtown, from the Instagrams of Taiwanese-American chef Jason Liang and Taiwanese pastry chef ChingYao Wang (who’s also his wife). The couple best known for Decatur’s Brush Sushi Izakaya recently ate their way through Taipei and Tokyo as inspiration for Momonoki and its attached bakery, Momo Cafe.

This spring, Atlantans will be able to enjoy ramen, rice bowls, and katsu sando in a casual environment in the heart of Midtown. Brush Sushi Izakaya’s Jason Liang is opening a counter-service restaurant called Momonoki, along with coffee and dessert bar called Momo Café.
