The zoo is literally next door to Cyclorama.
Max's Pizza is an independent pizza place owned by the same family as the Max Lager's I mentioned earlier. The pizza place is next to Der Biergarten, along with Stats. It's a couple block walk from your hotel, across from the aquarium.
If he really loves Korean, you probably should consider going out to Buford Highway. It is about 20-30 minutes from your hotel but virtually a straight shot up I85. That area has dozens of authentic Asian restaurants. You ought to be able to find some good reviews on chowhound or some of the other foodie sites. We always just drive there and randomly pick a place but you should do some research.
For Greek, Taverna Plaka is on Cheshire Bridge Rd and is maybe 20 minutes away. Kyma is the upscale Greek restaurant in Buckhead, not far from the History Center.
For burgers, Ted's Montana Grill, across the street from your hotel.
Pizza- I'm going to suggest Antico. This is real Italian pizza. You can watch the pizzas being made in the enormous pizza oven. Tables are typically shared with others. If you decide to go here, go early. They make a specific amount of dough each day, and when the dough is gone, they close.
Asian Food- I second Buford Hwy. Anthony Bourdain just did a feature on this area on his latest Travel Channel show, The Layover. I would recommend watching this on-line or on-demand if you can. Many of the places that have been mentioned on this thread are featured in his Atlanta episode... and some we haven't mentioned, like Fatt Matt's for barbeque. Yummy.
Greek- We also like Taverna Plaka.
