So So Fed 714 Moreland Avenue Southeast Located at OK Yaki, Atlanta, GA 30316

"Takeout experience not good but this may be customer ignorance. We picked up dinner for 3 and after ordering we’re told 35-40 mins because the kitchen was slammed. Ok we can chill with plenty of time to pick up from dog daycare. One of us had just come from airport and it had been an emotional trip. So all that on us. It took almost an hour during which we were given cold water (nice!) but the wait was stressful (“it’s just a couple minutes” but it’s not). To speed things up we paid and the 20 Percent gratuity made our meal ($82) come to $107. Maybe the hype is worth it so finally we get the food or so we thought and headed home. The bag seemed pretty light for $107 but it’s a popup so still ok then get home and the rice is missing and the portions are flavorful but small and now two of us are eating ramen and frozen waffles. Pix to show what $107 of food here looks like. Should I have asked to set my own gratuity? The bill came with 20 Pct and a line for adding *more*. I want to support Atlanta pop ups but this value is not there at all."

"I don’t think I’ve had anything here that’s less than great. Everything I’ve tried, or even had multiple times (yes I’m guilty of So So Fed cravings on Sunday or Monday nights!!) has be absolutely fantastic- flavorful, and authentic!! Highly recommend it. Occasional wait times might be frustrating, but people, we all need a little patience to just sit and relax - especially when each meal is prepared and cooked to order (potentially right in front of you!). A lot of their meals are perfect to share making it really reasonable and affordable! Truthfully, the food is fantastic, the atmosphere is chic yet relaxed, and service is friendly."

"So So Fed has one of the best authentic Asian menus ITP, and they have some really awesome merch too. Every time I come, I HAVE to have the spicy papaya salad. As a Vietnamese person, the Laotian version of the salad is exact to similar when it comes to the flavor and spice levels of this dish. I cry every time I have one, and I almost always order a second serving for max pain - read, joy. In addition, So So Fed's chefs are experts in cooking meats to perfection. The beef and chicken that normally goes into their dish is always cooked enough but not too much. This leaves room for the meat to continue cooking and bathing in the juices of the dishes they're incorporated into. I always admire how juicy and tender the meats come out in every dish I've tried. I've yet to have one bad experience in terms of cuisine here. I've had the mapo tofu dumplings which are so juicy and well fried. The red curry chicken mixed with the eggplant and bamboo gives a strong and delicious flavor full of umami. Today, on July 4, they had a special lunch menu for the first time. I ordered the meatball banh mi and the beef pho. The pho is the first time I've had pho ITP that's actually made well. The closest one to good pho here is Dai Loi in Forest Park, and I'd dare say today's pho is levels above Dai Loi given how tender the brisket and other meats were cooked. This place genuinely makes me happy every time I come."

"Holy cow - this place is special. I'd never had Laotian food before, and after trying So So Fed I'm blown away that it took this long. The food is simply spectacular. I'm not usually a fan of chicken heart, but these were so tender, juicy, and delicious that it destroyed my previous idea of what chicken hearts could be. The meatballs are mesmerizing. The stir fried noodles were incredible. Everything we ordered was just phenomenal. They're only open two days out of the week since it's a pop-up, but you must try this place. This restaurant is on another level, full stop."

"You have to visit and try their rotating menu! You can taste the care in each bite & the staff is super friendly! The lemongrass chicken heart skewers converted me to organ meat. They were juicy and tender, and the sauce was spicy and bright. The papaya salad was amazingly fresh, the caramel noodles were delicious and sticky, the meatballs were super tender and flavorful, and the watermelon with coconut custard and cinnamon basil was such a delight. I'd never had Laos food before & we're definitely coming back to try more!"
