Fan T’Asia is an authentic Cantonese restaurant created by Muling Zhao and chef Man Fai Yan, the team behind southern Cantonese BoBo Garden on Buford Highway. Its vision, offerings and creators are all from China.
The restaurant’s name references the decorative fan as an element of Chinese culture as well as the Chinese character, pronounced “fàn” in pinyin, whose meaning translates to “food,” “meal” or “rice.”
The presentation of Fan T’Asia is rich with symbolism and Chinese tradition. Embedded in the fan of Fan T’Asia are the Chinese (Mandarin) characters 喜點 Hei Dim, which means “Happy Gathering Point.”For Chinese families and groups of friends, meals are much more than a source of sustenance. They are a source of connectedness with those who matter most to you. The dining environment and experience are where relationships are built and strengthened; where happiness is celebrated and shared; and where sorrows or challenges are comforted and supported.
