So, I can only vouch for my experience eating Japanese food to state that the tsukemen at Okiboru is just like what I have eaten in Japan, specifically the Kansai region. Being that I prefer tsukemen over ramen, dipping sauce over soup, over the years, I have definitely eaten my fair share of this type of noodle. The broth is a thick gravy that is meaty and dashi-rich at the same time. Not too salty, although slightly bitter at times. What really stands out at Okiboru is their thick and toothsome tsukemen noodles. The texture of these noodles alone keeps me returning. QR code menu and friendly service. Bar style atmosphere at this location. So nice to have an authentic tsukemen shop at the mall. I like to stop by before seeing a movie.

I got the Paitan tsukemen and it was bursting with flavor. We did start with an appetizer, got the truffle garlic edamame.

Will definitely be back to try other menu items!

Outstanding ramen, incredible fresh noodles, and excellent service from Aaliyah…read more Okiboru Ramen Takumen in Duluth was absolutely worth the visit, and honestly, I'm just mad at myself for not trying it sooner. I started with the Okiboru buns (chicken and pork) the crispy gyoza, and the garlic nori fries. All three were a great start to the meal. The buns were soft and fluffy, and the pork bun worked really well with the garlic aioli, soy glaze, and pickled cucumber. The chicken one was good too but the pork one beats it on flavor. The gyoza had a nice crisp to them and came with a shoyu dipping sauce that tied everything together well. The garlic nori fries were also really good, crispy and well seasoned, and a fun side to snack on between everything else along with the garlic sauce to dip your fries in. For my main dish, I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, which comes with rich pork broth, pork chashu, half a soft boiled egg, scallions, and thin Hakata noodles. I also added the thick noodle refill on the side, and I'm glad I did because both noodles were excellent in different ways. The biggest standout here was the noodle quality. You can tell immediately that these are fresh noodles because the texture is just on another level. The thin noodles were fantastic and worked perfectly with the tonkotsu broth, but the thick noodles were incredible too. It's one of those meals where after the first bite you immediately understand why people talk about fresh noodles the way they do. The broth itself was rich, flavorful, and comforting without feeling overly heavy, and the pork in the ramen was very good too. Service was also a big part of why this visit stood out. Aaliyah was incredibly kind and welcoming, and she did a great job making the whole experience feel comfortable from the start. Good food is one thing, but good service is a huge part of what makes people want to come back, and she absolutely deserves a shoutout. The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. I was dining solo, so I sat at a smaller table, but they also have booths and larger middle tables that look like they'd work well for bigger groups. Food came out pretty quickly, and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. And of course, everything got washed down with a Coke Zero. Not fountain, just canned, but it still hit the spot. This was an excellent meal from start to finish. Great appetizers, outstanding ramen, truly impressive noodles, and service that made the whole visit even better. I'll definitely be back.

What I enjoyed the most about my drink option was that it was canned coke, so it was very carbonated just how I like it.

There are some reviews that I am so excited to write and Kawa 18 Ramen is one of those!…read more For close to a decade as someone who lives below 1-20 , I have been driving forty minutes to an hour for good ramen. I have actually tried over a dozen and a half different ramen restaurants in the Atlanta metro area and actually gave up, because none of them were able to have the flavor full broth that i'm used to from new york city based japanese restaurants and traditional izakayas. For safety and consistent flavor I generally only go to Jinya ramen but one evening after a long day of work and a long walk , I just decided to randomly see if there were any ramen places below I 20 and I found this place and decided to take a chance. I thank the almighty God in the heavens for that idea.l! Because I have found somewhere that I will be definitely going back to again and again. The fried chicken wings were so crispy and so perfect. I had to ask myself if I was eating at home or if this really was a restaurant. A nice crisp, slightly salty NO BREADING fried chicken is hard to come by. I had the Tonkatsu red ramen with pork chasu and all the toppings, except for mushrooms, and it was one of the best ramen that I have had in a really long time. Made with a thin noodle, the flavor of the broth was just on point! the right level of spice, the right level of salt. It was so savory. All the ingredients seemed to be fresh. And the serving was MASSIVE. I highly recommend Kawa 18 ramen to anyone looking for a satisfying hot bowl of ramen. The lone server was handling all orders both take out and dine in and she was attentive, quick and so sweet.

The high ratings have to come from undeveloped taste buds. It tasted like Cisco manufactured meals. The pork belly was old and fried to oblivion, inedible and the cook who put it up to serve should know better. What's sad is there seemed to be a manager or owner on site, how are you ok with this quality, I wonder. The walnut shrimp comes with a thick batter fried and drenched in sauce. Edible but Cisco tasting. The bao bun, was there even pork inside?? The only thing good, was the server. Never coming back, the is a kids restaurant.

E Ramen + in Midtown Atlanta. What can I say?…read more First off, beautiful space. But somehow, the bowl of ramen is even more beautiful. seriously, it looks like a work of art that I'm clearly afraid to mess up! I went with the Signature Ramen, and this thing absolutely hits the spot. Pork broth, pork belly, ground pork, green onions, soft-boiled egg, seasonal vegetables, and chili oil. On paper, it sounds like a lot going on. In the bowl, everything just works. Every element was executed perfectly. The chew of the noodles, the crunch of the bamboo, the gooey soft-boiled egg, the tenderness of the pork belly--it's all there. And pairing the chashu with the ground pork? Next level. You get two completely different textures and flavors from the pork, and somehow they complement each other perfectly. The broth has that richness you want from a good bowl of ramen without needing to rely on a bunch of extras to make it interesting. The chili oil adds just enough to bring everything together. Honestly, I have nothing more to add here. It's just good. Really good. Sometimes you don't need a long explanation. You just need a bowl of ramen that makes you put the spoon down afterward and say, "Yeah... that was exactly what I needed."

Award winning Tonkotsu ramen was decent but not as flavorful as okiboru. We wanted to try the lobster miso ramen cause it was "award winning" as well but they misheard me and brought the spicy miso ramen which was so unbelievably mid. Really lacking in flavor. The chashu wrap was pretty good but really expensive for just 2 small wraps. I've had their rice bowls in the past and think the chashu rice bowl would've been much better than the miso hot. I may come back again to try the lobster miso, but am definitely not in a rush. They claim to have parking validation but it was only half off instead of being free
