A popular stir-fry restaurant that closed its Midtown location to make the move to North Fulton County has closed that location, too.

The Real Chow Baby, which shuttered in West Midtown at 1016 Howell Mill Road at the end of 2014, reopened as ChowBaby Alpharetta in mid-2016, only to announce on its Facebook page that it was closing in December:

The phone number listed for the store is disconnected. A similar concept, The Original Chow Baby, also closed in 2016 to make way for Gusto! at 782 Ponce de Leon Ave. in Poncey-Highland.
