KAWA 18 RAMEN

Hidden gem! Friendly welcoming service. The cashier advised us on options.. took everyone's order, gave us table numbers and within 10 mins, our meal was served. The restaurant was clean including the restroom and the atmosphere was easy.. my daughter has vegetable ramen and I had spicy miso. WOW! Impressive flavor! Hot and fresh! I definitely recommend! We will be back !

Quiet, ample parking. Service was pretty quick. I ordered a takeout red tonkotsu ramen. I had been to this restaurant before a couple years back and did dine in, and it was great. This experience didn't add up. When I got home, the bowl had one strip of pork and majority of the topping was shredded green onion. It tasted great but I'm not sure it was worth the $13.I would come back again to try dine in again but not sure I'd do take out again.

Miso Red was amazing with a Thai bubble tea. I will be back to try more from their menu.

Chicken tonkatsu ramen was tasty and hit the spot on a cold and rainy night. Servers could be more engaging, but we'll definitely be back to try their other offerings the next time we're in town.

Service was great, the dumplings were good, the ramen ok. I've had better, but a good choice overall.

I ate here today for the first time. I had the Ramen Miso Black w/chicken, and Pork Gyoza. The dumplings were good, but the Ramen was delicious! Loved the presentation and the flavors. And it was very filling. Service was delightful. The waitress/cashier was young yet attentive and very polite. She had great energy and a very pleasing attitude.Small restaurant with a pleasant ambiance. Place was clean and clean restroom. Price was very reasonable. $$Highly recommend

This little hole in the wall has some tasty dumplings and quick service. Order at the counter and within 10 minutes you have a steaming hot bowl of ramen, Japanese curry, dumplings, and spring rolls at the table. The curry has a little bite from the masala guram spice, and the crispy chicken under all that yummy curry gravy can be sopped up with some rice. They could have given a little more rice for the dish. The tonkontsu ramen has great flavor for the broth, but the noodles are the star here. They just needed to add a little more of them to the dish! The fatty pork chiashu was very fatty but still grilled up nicely. The gyoza dumplings were simple and a great appetizer portion. The spring rolls were vegetarian and our friend who ordered them said they tasted good.

We took our order of curry, tonkatusu ramen, and karage to go. After 1-2 hours of traveling, our food was still warm and was exactly what we needed after a long travel day. I was most impressed by the chew of the karage and in depth rich flavor of the ramen toppings and broth. The noodle texture weren't to my preference but we're still good! Would go again when we come back to ATL!

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.

We were in the mood for noodles. This place was open, the Yelp reviews were decent and the pictures were nice. The place was deserted when we arrived. Not one customer, no one even coming by to pick up a to go order. That was red flag # 1. We ordered vegetarian spring rolls, vegetarian noodles and chicken noodles. We received our food, immediately we noticed that the boiled eggs that were cut in half looked really dark (purple to be exact) but chalked it up to the dish being that way, red flag #2. The corn in our dishes was clearly from a can, not necessarily a sin but demonstrates a lack of authenticity, I'd call this flag #3. The taste was a little salty but palatable nonetheless. The spring rolls are the ones that Costco sells. Flag#4 the chicken that they used in their noodles was fried chicken and it tasted "off" again we attributed to "eating something new." The noodles tasted a little salty. To me it seems like this establishment has a clear preference for shortcuts: pre-prepared food, canned food, suspicious looking eggs (where they left over from days before?). I wouldn't be surprised if they're taking safety related shortcuts in the kitchen. Fast forward a few hours and the first of our group starts complaining of stomach pains. Now the rest of our group has developed moderate to severe food poisoning symptoms. We've lost sleep and spent money trying to feel better and rehydrate ourselves to get our health back. This establishment is the only one that we visited prior to coming down with these symptoms. After this terrible experience we regret ever stepping foot in this place. The Yelp ratings were misleading for sure. If you're in the mood for some noodles there's some great noodle places in H Mart in Riverdale. I'd recommend them over this place which has horrible quality. Again, we had a TERRIBLE experience!!For your reference I have included screen shots of their food safety reports and comments. Gross findings!
