Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Hajime fits on a napkin — and not a large one. Seven labels, no producers named, no regions beyond the broadest possible strokes. It's a wine list that exists because a restaurant has to have one, not because anyone here particularly cares.
Three varietals: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet. Each appears twice — once by the glass, once by the bottle — plus a Choya Plum Wine rounding things out at seven entries total. No producers are listed, no vintages, no regions beyond the generic 'White Wine' and 'Red Wine' headers. The Choya Plum Wine is at least a nod to the Asian context of the menu, but the rest of the list reads like someone checked the minimum viable wine program box and moved on.
Four by-the-glass options covering the same three varietals plus the plum wine, priced between $9 and $13 a glass. Rotation isn't something that happens here — this list has 'Set & Forget' written all over it. If you want flexibility or anything remotely interesting in a pour, you're in the wrong place.
The Bottom Line
Hajime's wine list is an afterthought dressed up as a decision. The pricing is at least fair — $22 for a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc isn't highway robbery — but seven unnamed wines with no producers and no depth isn't a wine program, it's a placeholder. Order the plum wine, appreciate it for what it is, and don't expect more than that.

Roc South is a genuinely fun restaurant — the food sounds great and the vibe is undeniable — but the wine program doesn't give us enough to work with or get excited about. Until there's a verifiable list with real producers and fair pricing, let the bartender guide your evening instead.

Park 82 has a wine list in the same way a gas station has a wine selection — technically present, practically limiting. If you're a Pinot Noir devotee who doesn't mind paying restaurant markup for bottles you've seen at Kroger, you'll survive. Everyone else should probably lead with cocktails and ask what's on tap.

Tabla's wine list punches above its weight for an Asian restaurant in Atlanta. The white-heavy, aromatic-focused selection makes genuine sense with the food, pricing at the entry level is fair, and the BTG depth is real. We'd send a friend here for wine without hesitation — just order the Grüner first.

MCK isn't trying to be a wine destination — it's a bar and restaurant with a list built for toasting and crowd comfort. The sparkling program punches above the list's weight, the by-the-glass selection is generous, and the markups on still wines are steep but not outrageous. Send a friend here if they want Champagne and something easy to sip; send them somewhere else if they're chasing a wine experience.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is a beer bar first, second, and third — the wine list exists so your friend who doesn't drink beer doesn't feel stranded. If that's the situation, the Cava at $9 or the Elouan Rosé at $10 are perfectly fine. But if wine is the reason you're going out, go somewhere else.

Pink Lotus has built a wine list that takes its cues from the food — acid-forward, bubbles-heavy, and genuinely curious — which is more than most Thai spots in town bother to do. Markups are fair, the by-the-glass selection is wide, and there are real finds here if you look past the Dom Pérignon showpiece bottles at the top. If you're eating Thai in Atlanta and you want something interesting in your glass, this list deserves your attention.

Sushi Sumo isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for the sushi, stick to sake or beer — both will serve you far better than a mass-market Merlot. The wine program gets a Lazy List badge not because of the price, but because three identical-label bottles and zero effort is a choice, and not a good one.

Wagyu House Atlanta's wine list does its job for a high-end group dinner or event — the bottles are recognizable, the glass pours are priced fairly, and the Champagne section gives big spenders something to point at. But if you're coming in hoping for genuine wine exploration, the list won't meet you halfway. Order the S.A. Prum, eat the wagyu, and don't overthink it.

Kang Nam earns genuine affection for its food — the kalbi and sashimi boat are real draws — but the wine program doesn't show up to the party with the same energy. If you're here for a serious wine experience, come with a cocktail plan or a sake order instead. The restaurant clearly hasn't invested in making wine a reason to visit, and until that changes, we can't tell you it is one.
