Don't be confused by the name, this place is not Asian. Their menu is eclectic and the dishes are real globe-trotters (red curry with rice & beans and pita bread -- huh?), but everything comes together and the food is delicious. The service, however is SLOW, so be warned.

I came down for the weekend to visit my daughter at Ohio University and I wanted to take her out for dinner. I found this restaurant on the Internet. What a great find. We had an outstanding dinner. Some of the best food I have ever had. (We have nice restaurants in Cleveland but nothing like this!). The atmosphere is... More

Curries and seafood crepes are family favorites. Eating surrounded by Passion Works art just makes it all the more delightful.

Without a doubt one of the best if not the best place to eat in Athens, Ohio. Purple Chopstix is not your typical cookie cutter restaurant. It is small and intimate with several rooms to eat in or dine outside (weather permitting). It is originally and colorfully decorated with artwork form Passion Works Art Studio, and an eclectic collection of... More

This restaurant is a cute hole in the wall on Richland Avenue. The food is always great, you should be prepared for slow service but it is part of the experience. You should make a reservation for large parties (more than 5) because there are only a few tables for large groups. The Sunday brunch buffet is also good and... More
