Longtime resident of Virginia Highland, Jordan Williams appreciates the inclusivity that Mai Kitchen’s menu brings. If you come in and you’re not sure, just ask what the special is that day and the chef will provide what we have that day.” “The food aspect is our main focus and there will always be something inspired, something special. “I want to give a lot of variety to this community,” Kinjo said. The addition of Mai Kitchen to the local cuisine adds diversity to the dining options in the area. “I want to create a more innovative menu, very up to date but keep it traditional,” Kinjo said. After the closure, Kinjo maintained his passion for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, which led him to travel around the world, sampling Vietnamese dishes with the goal of curating a menu that respected the traditions of Vietnamese cooking while adding innovative touches that modernize his dishes. We became very popular over the years.”įollowing a recession in 2008, Kinjo was forced to close NAM. “At the time we had 5 stars, which was a very big deal for a Vietnamese restaurant. “It was the first Vietnamese restaurant that had a very nice setting, very romantic, cool design, the whole nine yards,” Kinjo said. For many years, NAM was a place for people to gather for food in a romantic atmosphere. In 2003, Kinjo opened NAM in the Midtown Promenade shopping center. Mai Kitchen is not Kinjo’s first Vietnamese restaurant to open in the Atlanta market. “I want to bring color, I want to bring happiness and warmness to the concept, but mainly to draw it to the food,” Kinjo said. Inspired by Vietnam’s national flower, the Mai, Kinjo designed the entire restaurant to reflect the flower’s vibrant yellow color, beauty and warmth. In this case, the menu focuses on Vietnamese dishes that reflect Kinjo’s heritage. Like many of Kinjo’s restaurants, Mai Kitchen is heavily influenced by Asian cuisine. Kinjo owns 13 other restaurants around the city, including MF Sushi, Pho Nam and Sakura Ramen. Its owner, Alex Kinjo, is no stranger to the Atlanta food scene. Mai Kitchen is the newest addition to the Virginia Highland food scene, recently taking over the space formerly operated by Genki Noodle and Sushi.
