"My husband and I came in on a Friday night and it was packed, but we were seated within 5 minutes. We ordered the following dishes: 1. Beef Stew Hand-Pulled Noodle Soup2. Roast Duck Hand-Pulled Noodle Soup3. Oil-Pouring Beef Hand-Pulled NoodlesThe noodles were extremely fresh and springy, it was excellent. The broth for both dishes were light, yet full of flavor. Everything was delicious but the oil-pouring beef hand-pulled noodles is a must order! The service was very quick and efficient. We are definitely adding this restaurant into our rotation. Highly recommend."

"Delicious!! We had a party of 4 for dinner on Thursday, 1/18/24, at 7:30 pm. Valet parking, or you might be lucky to find parking in the garage close by, and there's street parking a little further away. The wait for our table only ended up being 10 minutes or so. Casual atmosphere. Athleisure is perfectly acceptable. Randy, the manager, was our waiter, and he was wonderful. He gave us honest recommendations, which we so appreciated.We split 4 appetizers and we each got our own ramen. Definitely didn't need 4 apps, but we couldn't decide and they were all incredible. Here's what I had:- Truffle Garlic Edamame: Super generous portion!- Shoyu Brussels: Crispy and amazing.- Crispy Gyoza: Good!!- Garlic Nori Fries: OMG, perfectly crispy.- Tonkotsu Ramen: Egg was cooked perfectly. Very good.Even with all the apps, the bill ended up being around $24 each, which is super reasonable.I will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!"

Ton Ton

"Ton Ton is an easy dining choice at Ponce City Market. Whether I am meeting someone for a business lunch or meeting a friend after work to explore PCM - Ton Ton serves as a versatile dining option that is easy to like.Both of my recent dining experiences at Ton Ton were positive. Both at lunch and during dinner, we were seated very quickly with no wait. The ambiance is quiet, intimate, and I appreciate the attempt of the izakaya style inside the small space at PCM. Service is very quick and straightforward and this process is made even easier by the fact that there's not that many food options to choose from so you'll be able to decide on your order quickly. In all the years I have been dining at Ton Ton, even before their relocation to PCM, I have always, always ordered their Invincible Dan Dan Mazemen: brothless, minced pork, soft-boiled egg, cucumbers, spicy soybeans, szechuan oil, scallions, and sesame seeds. This dish is Ton Ton's take on the traditional Dan Dan noodles, available at many Szechuan restaurants. All these years, I have yet to find many restaurants who execute this simple dish as great as Ton Ton does - everything about their rendition is fabulous, from the flavorful minced pork to the perfectly cooked egg. This is the one dish I will continue to come back for, time after time! Overall, Ton Ton is always a great dining experience. Of course I'd come back!"

"Atlanta is a low key ramen town. The goal isn't to find the best ramen as it is to find, "what does this ramen store do best?"Come get the lobster ramen. It's the buttery lobster broth that makes this amazing! You won't be disappointed. Also try the fried edamame in truffle oil."

Momonoki

"New drinks and pastries! Sooo delicious and refreshing. Went in to try their new peach drinks too. I love how they're transitioning their menu to become more seasonal... cannot wait to try all their new drinks."

PaoPao Ramen Factory And Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (365)

"Decent ramen and boba tea spot. I wanted ramen and boba and found this place, the ramen is pretty good. The boba fruit tea was just okay to me, I've had better. The service was decent.The inside is cute, some of the furniture needs to be fixed in here the booth seating is torn up. The parking is free here it is a nice location."

Kin No Tori Ramen Bar - Midtown Atlanta

★★★★★ 4.5 (264) • $$

"We stopped in for an earlier dinner (6:30ish) and found a good crowd. There was a small wait for a table so we took a couple of the remaining seats at the bar.The menu is focused on ramen, with don options as well. We ordered the spicy cucumber to start. It comes out and is a sliced cucumber with sauce throughout. Such a clever presentation.We both ordered ramen for dinner and joined the clean plate club afterwards. I had the Ichiran ramen and Hubs did the garlic tomkatsu. The pork broth was rich. The noodles are thin and more authentic. They gave us some spices to add heat.Service was friendly and attentive. Real gem!"

Kyuramen - Suwanee

★★★★☆ 4.1 (293) • $$

"I swung in here for a super-early dinner on my way out of Duluth toward home...The place was as stunning as I remembered it...especially with its spectacular cubicle seatings! Again, I ended up in one of the cubicle slots lol...this time, upstairs. I wasn't hungry, but wanted to try so many items on their menu...so I ordered the following: Lobster & Chasu Salad Balls, Negima Skewer, Baby Octopus Skewer, Chili Garlic Edamame, and Matcha Pudding with Red Bean! Also, tried their Lemonade drink.Well, basically, I loved them all...but for me, the winner was the dessert, Matcha Pudding with Red Bean! HOW did I not get this the first time?? This pudding was more like Matcha flavored Panna Cotta with Red Bean, AND Milk topping! SO delish!!I remember being impressed with the ambiance, but only halfway with the foods I ordered last time...but this time, I was just as impressed with the foods. Guess it all depends on what you order. Still, thing about this place is that it offers a huge variety of appetizers...and some of them are truly unique! Then that dessert...WOW.I'm basically addicted now. I'll definitely be back for more on my future trips to Duluth and the surrounding areas!"

JINYA Ramen Bar - Duluth

★★★★☆ 4.3 (249) • $$

"Parking right in the front with no wait! This place is bigger than it appears from the outside. Very clean and bright. Our server was Mindy and she was excellent! Very knowledgeable about the menu plus she had worked at our regular place a few years back so she could lead us to our favorites and boy did she! We got the original Tonkatsu pork with an extra egg (which were absolutely perfect) plus Mindy brought us their spicy sauce to liven it up to each of our tastes. My friend did one container and I ended up using 2 which made the broth so rich and just the right level of heat for me. This place was a great new ramen restaurant for us! Of course we will be back!"

Hotto Hotto Ramen & Teppanyaki

★★★★☆ 4 (271) • $$

"Stumbled upon this place as I was actually planning on dining at a nearby spot that was too packed. Lucky me, Hotto Hotto was right next door! It was a super hot day so we initially didn't plan on eating here simply because of the weather, and being on the hunt for what we considered "refreshing". Well, we got that and more by choosing to dine here instead.There were only a few others in the restaurant when we visited one Sunday afternoon, but I loved how they had the windows and doors opened, allowing the sunshine to flow in. (Also the flies, but that's life lol) We were quickly seated and I chose a table in the corner with the sun. (I wanted lunch al fresco but with ac).Our waitress was super patient and even told me her personal faves when I couldn't figure out what I wanted because everything sounded really delicious or too hot for me on that day. My partner opted for a big bowl of ramen (on that hot af day, omg) and I went for the brothless shaved ribeye ramen as recommended by our waitress. Our food came out in minutes, but was obviously fresh so major love to the kitchen. I feel like before I could look up, his ramen was gone so I'm going to say that he enjoyed. My dish was delicious! The ribeye was so flavorful, with hints of sweet and savory all in one. The cucumbers were a refreshing pairing and the noodles were on point. I think I could have only wished to have some spicy sauce on it, but I always want some extra spice. The portion was so generous as well, I'm absolutely returning to have another bowl!"

Suzy Siu's Baos

★★★★☆ 3.9 (225) • $

"I came here for a small snack after getting free parking on the street in the nearby neighborhood. Suzy Siu's Baos is in a food stall in Krog Street Market. The employee at the front counter was quick, efficient, and helpful.The menu is simple, and customers get a discount whenever they buy in "SETS." For instance, a bao currently costs $4.75. However, if a customer buys 3 baos, the price is $13. There are other discounted SETS on the menu, which includes ramen, baos, rice bowls, specials and sides. I was only interested in the baos, and there were three different types that I was considering: Pork Belly, Korean BBQ and Carnitas.I finally ordered the carnitas bao at the register, and sat down at one of the four stools at the counter. I didn't even have to wait 5 minutes before my bao was served directly to me. The soft white fluffy bun was perfectly made - slightly sweet in flavor and spongy in texture. It was stuffed with hot and flavorful shredded carnitas (pork) meat. Even as a snack, one isn't enough. I guess next time I'll have to order baos as a set, so I can also try the pork belly and the Korean bbq beef. When I was eating my bao while sitting at the counter, and it didn't take long to eat my bao, three groups of customers came by to place their take out orders, so it seems that this food stall has steady business.I'm definitely coming back to try more items on the menu!"

Lifting Noodles Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (161) • $$

"The small food hall that contains Lifting Noodles is a chill haven in the chaos of EAV on a weekend night. You order via a QR code that you can find on the placards on the tables, and choose either takeout or dine-in. Lifting Noodles is I think merged with PokeBurri (the poke burrito place) so the online menu is a little confusing, but navigable. We went for some ginger miso salad and the veggie spring rolls to share, then the "angry zuko" ramen for me and the tofu udon for my dinner buddy. By the way, the ATLA references in the menu were much appreciated. Everything we ordered was great. The salad is your typical lil salad you get at most Japanese restaurants, but larger. The spring rolls were great although I do wish there was some wood ear mushroom in there for crunch. The ramen is really solid, with the thicker scraggly noodles rather than the thin straight ones. I personally have no preference between the two. I will say that having watched ATLA, and knowing how angry Zuko is for the first half of the show, I was expecting a pretty spicy ramen bowl. What I got instead was Zuko after he realizes his destiny and loses his rage...in other words it was really not spicy at all! Not sure if the other spicy ramens they offer are actually spicy. My dinner buddy's udon was apparently perfect and hit the spot on a chilly December night. The vibes are relaxed, it's not overly loud, and food comes out pretty quick. If you want dinner in EAV but don't want to deal with the crazy wait times and being unable to hear your own conversation, this is a great spot to check out."

Silverlake Ramen

★★★★☆ 4 (193) • $$

"So I happened to be in midtown so figured I would stop in. They have a decent sized shop, and a little outdoor seating too. They have a full bar, kinda full, but enough options. The bartender was super nice and explained all the ins and outs and well as his favorite dishes. They have really affordable drinks on the menu, and they also have a decent selection of sake (if you are into that).Garlic truffle ramen with chicken and pork (added chili paste for spice) and the gyoza (fried). The gills that came with a spicy mayo that was really good! Have some kick to it. The garlic truffle ramen was good, I added some chili paste to give it more kick as well and it really showed out. The only thing I would probably say would be the fact that the meat wasn't as tender as I would have liked it to be, some of it was kind of tough. No I don't want to say tough, but it wasn't as tender is what I'm used to with ramen but it was still good. And the broth had a lot of flavor. It was super rich. Would I get it again, I sure as hell will."

Yebisuya

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (249) • $$

"This was my first time visiting since they re-did the menu. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There was no wait. We were seated immediately and it didn't take long for someone to ask about our drink orders and answer some questions about the menu. The kitchen works fast. My Katsu curry hit the spot in all the right ways. And the serving was huge. This was one of those dishes where my desire to stop eating (because I was full) collided with my desire to keep eating because it tasted so good. My wife really enjoyed her Omurice. She didn't elaborate because her mouth was full. And the environs are still comfortable. The decorations haven't really changed. The posters all still have fun with ramen, even though ramen is no longer on the menu. But it's a fun thing to laugh at. So I'm looking forward to my next visit. Holler if you're coming with."

Okiboru Tsukemen & Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (119) • $$

"I've been meaning to try this place and they did not disappoint. Food we ordered was delicious and staff was fast. Tip: I'm not sure how it is all the time in Duluth area. I'm used to tip being automatically added for parties bigger than six. However, I ordered for three of us and the tip was already included. Typically I tip more than what's recommended but when establishments do that, I just stick to the minimum. They also have some cool T-shirt merch for sale!"

One Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.8 (155) • $$

"The whole experience was a little weird. Service was good. The menu was Korean inspired sushi, in a crepe cafe, with a wine bar and no sushi bar out front. Not inspirational, on the sushi side. Miso soup was good on the starter. We ordered a vegetable tempura as an appetizer that showed up after the sushi. Huge plate. Six pieces of beer batter style fry, not tempura. Sushi was heavily sauced, which it doesn't need, unless freshness is a question. The beef bulgolgi roll was too big, like a futomaki roll. Too big to get down with one bite, and it falls apart with a bite. Some re-engineering of the roll with a lot less rice would be a great idea.Won't thrill ya. Won't kill ya. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

Ramen Station

"Tasty with great service. Clean as a whistle and bathroom was also immaculate. I judge places by their restrooms. Lots of parking.Absolutely fantastic. I'll definitely be back."

JINYA Ramen Bar - Poncey Highland

★★★★☆ 4 (122) • $$

"Jinya is consistent and solid ramen. I really appreciate the customization options provided. I like the Poney Highland location, there is ample parking and on a Thursday night there was little to no wait. As we approached, we saw a party wrapping up on the patio and it was a lovely day outside. I mentioned to the host that we wanted to sit outside, he wasn't rude but did try to dissuade us from waiting.My party of 2 order the crispy tuna and one jinya bun and 2 bowls of ramen. The ramen came out before the small plates. I hate when that happens but such is life. The Black ramen hit the spot and the chicken wonton ramen with hot sauce literally warmed my soul. The jinya bun was a miss... idk if it was the large amount of mayo or I've had inauthentic buns but they were a hard no. Thick pork belly...really fluffy bao, and ransom mixed greens. The crispy rice and tuna was spot on. There is a limited drink menu like 4 cocktails, a decent assortment of sake, a few beers, wines, and non alcoholic beverages. All in all it's a good for a weeknight. Probably one of the best ramen at this price point in the city. Is it as good as ramen in Japan... nah but it scratches my western itch."

Lifting Noodles Ramen - Battery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (112)

Takumi Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.5 (78)

"I was thrilled when I heard about a new sushi option in Decatur. Takumi is a great addition to the area! The are a few complimentary parking spaces directly behind the restaurant. Street parking is also available. Everything Ive tried has been delicious. I typically order the bang bang shrimp and the shrimp boat roll. The shrimp are perfectly crisp and tossed in a scrumptious sauce. The shrimp boat roll consists of tempura shrimp, cucumber, mayo, avocado and is topped with shrimp and eel sauce. I ordered the sangria at my recent visit and was quite impressed. The staff is friendly and efficient."

KAWA 18 RAMEN

★★★★☆ 4.3 (80) • $$

"First of all, the restaurant has simple, but trendy decor that makes it Feel more upscale for the area. Service was extremely friendly and the order came quickly...plus, PIPING HOT!! Prices were comparable to other ramen shops I have been to in Atlanta. I had the Miso red with Chicken ramen and Vegetable spring rolls. The highlights of the ramen we're definitely the spice level and the crunchy corn. Paired with the delicious springy noodles. Overall, it was the perfect lunch and might I say this is probably the "BEST" ramen I've had in awhile. Will definitely return when I'm in the area."

Sukoshi

★★★★☆ 3.6 (110) • $$

"Got the lunch special. It comes with 2 semi-small rolls, salad, and a drink for total of 20 bucks.Not a bad pick for fresh lunch.Interior looks cute but food is nothing mindblowing."

Bangkok Bold Thai Asian Fusion Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (20)

"Order food on a whim tonight. Ordered some roti and coconut soup. It was OK but I've had better. It scratched a itch but I probably wont go again. The soup was too sour and not spicy enough and the curry that accompanied the roti was really sweet. $8 for 2 pieces of small roti is steep. The packaging was great and the food was ready very quickly. A little too much bold and not enough authentic thai...maybe that's the fusion. In a pinch I might try a entree but I'll stick to my usual locations."

Front Porch Taqueria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (17)

"This was a very nice experience with wonderful tocos, the ox tail was my favorite. I love the quaint feel of this cute restaurant and the service is top notch.I can tell I'm going to have fun here and the staff is very friendly.A must try is the Tres leches cake, some of the best I've ever tasted."

Gekko Kitchen - Atlanta

★★★★☆ 4.1 (11)

"I ordered the steak bowl with white rice and vegetables. The broccoli and zucchini were very good and I liked the rice. I liked that the broccoli was crunchy and not overcooked. There was a lot of steak included with the bowl which was good because it balanced everything out. The steak texture was a little too chewy for me. The restaurant offers bowls, ramen, sides and drinks. This location is in the Lee + White food hall."

Kyuramen x TBaar - West Midtown

★★★★☆ 4.4 (5)

"The hubby and I tried this place while in Chicago and were obsessed with their amazing lemonade. Although this locations lemonade wasn't as amazing the server named Elaine and the incredible ramen made up for it. We love Kyuramen because they do a great job designing the interior making it feel like a true ramen spot. I like that they offer combos with their ramen which gives you an opportunity to try dessert, Thai tea, lemonade or a Bao bun. We had the braised pork belly and spicy chasu pork ramen which were both incredible. My husband devoured his. The pork belly bowl came with plenty of meat which I thought was a plus. We also got to try their Japanese cherry blossom jelly which was different but not bad. I look forward to returning to Kyuramen and thanks Elaine for making our experience incredible!!"
