Amkha Omakase Atl - Doraville

Peachtree Pavilion is one of the hotspots for good Asian food and drink in metro Atlanta. This U shaped, two story shopping center in Doraville has been home to Atlanta 's only ITP (inside the perimeter H Mart for over a decade now. For longtime Atlantans and Buford Highway enthusiasts, I kind of view Peachtree Pavilion as the new Asian Square. It 's one of the centers of Asian and Asian American activity in town.For years now, Peachtree Pavilion has been busy and bustling. Occupancy is high and business is good. It didn 't always used to be this way, however. I remember, circa 2010, when all this shopping center really had was H Mart (at that time, branded Super H Mart and Shoya Izakaya. The shopping center was built in 2008 2009. It wasn 't until the mid 2010s onward when this place really started to take off. Over that time, some businesses at Peachtree Pavilion have become Atlanta staples while others have come and gone.Below are some of the highlights of Peachtree Pavilion.

This is a really great shopping center with Super H Mart and some really great stores and restaurants. It is on Peachtree Industrial Blvd and I 285. It's huge with lots of free parking. I highly recommend a visit here because there are some great restaurants. There are also beauty salons, karaoke, billiards, and other services. The Super H Mart is amazing. They have a food court that you can't miss! Also highly recommend Sweet Spot.

Special thanks and kudos to Strawder Cooper at Brands Mart in Doraville for his help and professionalism in a very frustrating buying experience.My wife and I purchased a new refrigerator from Brands Mart in April, 2021and explained to the salesperson at that time that we did not want to receive delivery till we moved into our new home on June 1, 2021.The salesperson assured us that there should be no problem with our request as there were (13) refrigerators like ours in stock.On June 2 we started receiving notices and texts from Brands Mart that our refrigerator was being shipped and would arrive between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, this never happened. After contacting Brands Mart, we were directed to the dispatcher that told us we would not receive our refrigerator and our model was on back order and we would not receive delivery for a (1.5) months!Multiple calls later and no help from customer service we were directed back to the appliance sales department where we were directed to Strawder Cooper. We explained our dilemma to Mr. Cooper who listened to every word of our frustrating experience and told us he would check it out and get back in touch with us shortly.Not only did Mr. Cooper get involved, but he drove to the distribution warehouse in Ellenwood, GA and physically located our refrigerator, called us back and assured us of a new delivery date.We received our refrigerator (30) days late, but without the help of Mr. Cooper, I'm not sure when we would have received it.Mr. Cooper is rare individual in 2021, a person that listened to the concerns of a disgruntled customer and took charge of the situation personally to make sure the problem was taken care of down to driving (30) miles out of his way to see the appliance and make sure it was properly delivered.Mr. Cooper has set the bar high for sales personnel and customer service at Brands Mart and all service oriented businesses. Follow through and making sure your customers are taken care of and satisfied after the sale should be goal of all businesses, but it starts with actions of people like Mr. Cooper.

I moved to Atlanta (Brookhaven, actually), in 2015, and this was one of the first places I came to shop at Super H Mart. At that time, there were Super H Mart, with its own food court, and a few restaurants open at Peachtree Pavilion, and that was all. I wondered at that time if this center would ever have other businesses open up, and if the second level would even have any businesses opening up.Cut to the present ...I 'm very amazed with the number of varied businesses that have opened their doors at Peachtree Pavilion, and sad to know that other businesses have opened and closed their doors for good.Peachtree Pavilion has a very large free parking lot. Pre pandemic, there were many times when this parking lot was actually full, and customers of PP were parking at the even larger parking lot at BrandsMart USA. H Mart is the most popular business here and two of the most popular restaurants occupy the two opposite ends of PP. The majority of the business spaces are currently either occupied or soon will be occupied, which is so much better now than in 2015 when occupancy was very low. You won 't find regular hamburger or pizza joints here, nor will you find high end, fancy and ultra expensive restaurants. Most of the restaurants and other places that sell food and/or beverages here are Asian, and most of the other businesses mostly cater to Asians. I 'm not sure what the effects will be when the neighboring Assembly area finally gets developed/built, but I hope they 'll be minimal.It seems like every time I come to Peachtree Pavilion, a new business has just joined the list of established businesses. Nice!
