“My wife and I always enjoy eating at the Hilltop Grille when we are in Athens. The cream brûlée is amazing. On our visit to Athens on 2/13/2026, around 11:30 AM, I had the grilled salmon. It was delicious. My wife shared a little of her coleslaw with me. I later experienced mild indigestion. The only other thing I ate all day was some freshly homemade brownies my sweet neighbor brought over. The following morning around 7 AM, I awoke with an extreme urgency to go to the bathroom. I almost didn’t make it. I had a one and done case of severe diarrhea. I am submitting this review just to see if anyone else experienced the same issue after eating after eating there that day.“

“Seems to take a bit to get a waiter after seating these days. The music in the dining area is louder and poppier than it used to be. The bang bang shrimp and chicken satay are delicious as always. The Thai summer roll was mostly lettuce but fairly enjoyable. I had a Dragon roll and a Flaming roll and my sin had an Angel Hair roll and an American Dream roll (now his favorite). The Maki were well-presented, but they were so delicious we forgot to take a photo.“

“I ordered a pick up order, unaware that the business was under new ownersip and the dining room is now open. The staff was awesome and the dining room was redone and very nice. The food was very good and seasoned very similar to the meals that Jakie Xie served when he owned the resturant. I am pleased to have another great resturant to dine in. Go see the new owner if you like excellant Chinese food!“
