Fung Mei Chinese Restaurant is closing its doors after 33 years, Owner Henry Han, who took over the Duluth restaurant after his father passed away, told What Now Atlanta this week.
“This incredible journey has finally come to an end,” Han said. “From our family and staff at Fung Mei we want to thank everyone that has shared a memory with us the last 33 years. We will be back!”
Han said “somewhere down the road I will reopen Fung Mei again,” but in the meantime, the restaurateur is opening a franchised location of Cultivate Food & Coffee in The Battery Atlanta this summer.

Liu said the restaurant should open on or before All-Star Weekend in July “if MLB isn’t still locked out!”
“The Battery Atlanta continues to evolve and provide an enhanced experience to our guests with every new tenant that we welcome,” Jeremy Strife, Braves Development Company executive vice president of development, said in a press release. “We are pleased to announce that the popular Cultivate concept will join the development…”

You can get coffee on every corner, but really good Chinese food is a different story. Sad to hear this.
“Fung Mei opening soon” sign just went up on Lawrenceville Suwanee Rd in old Orient Garden location. OG was the OG but I’m looking forward to the new location for Fung Mei!
