Upper Room Moves to Decatur; David Sweeney Heads Back to Tiger Mountain

DECATUR — Upper Room, the weekly Filipino pop-up from chef Andrew Bantug and his girlfriend, Joyce Lau, is changing venues. Serving out of Buckhead Japanese restaurant Tomo since November, Upper Room will move to Taiyo Ramen (formerly Makan) in downtown Decatur, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The change comes because Bantug is now on board as Taiyo’s executive sous chef. The pop-up will continue to operate on Sunday evenings.
