Open until 4am and staffed with the most easy going, friendly crew, Choo Choo on Athens?s east side is a real winner. It?s Hibachi Japanese food on the go with fried rice, shrimp, wine, and beer. You can drive through or sit down in their modern, warmly lit dining room to enjoy late night scallops and chicken or a heaping batch of their tasty steamed dumplings. Staffed by college kids, you might expect the service to be slow or resentful at 2am in the morning; however, I?ve always been met with a good sense of humor and an eclectic variety of employee-picked music. It?s generally not crowded, the food is ready quickly, and it?s a great place to pick up dinner on the way home from working late. It?s no Inoko or Shoki, and there?s no chef building you a personal flaming onion volcano or throwing eggs into the top of his hat, but the product is good and it?s provided with a smile.
Pros: Open late with friendly service
