    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.

    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.

    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 !

    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!

    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.

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

    Miso red with Chicken(spicy)

    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.

    I was so excited when I found out that there's a ramen place closer to me. So of course I rushed right over! I think this place may be family owned also. The girl at the register was so nice and so were the two I saw. It's just a very warm and welcoming environment. I wish I had more time to sit inside because I loved the ambiance. The broth was delicious. The noodles were perfect. The egg was, which is one of my favorite parts about ramen, was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The only thing I was disappointed about was the pork. I paid for extra pork but it was definitely a regular portion, also the pork was a bit tough. Other than that, I'd definitely try this place out again. It was pretty good. Also, This was my first time having cabbage in ramen and it was actually pretty good. I also got the brown sugar boba and it did NOT make it home. It was soooo good and sweet!

    I ordered take out from this restaurant and I was extremely impressed not only by the quality of the food, but how fast I received my food after ordering. It was pretty incredible. I ordered the ramen and the Japanese curry. Both were delicious, but I liked the Japanese curry more. To drink, I ordered the sweet tea. Definitely a lovely ramen place to go. My only thing that I wish they had done was provide me with utensils in my bag. It was a bit unfortunate, but not something that would detract from my experience.

    I don't feel that there are any Ramen establishments south of I-20 but I was craving so I decided to search Google again and this one came up with good reviews. Its in a non-descript strip mall. There's seating for groups of 2-4. There was a TV playing music videos. The place was clean and the staff was very pleasant. I shared it was my first time and she was patient with my order. Its a simple restaurant with good options. I was glad to see the kale noodles. My food came quickly and was good. I took my leftover broth home and ordered extra noodles to go. It wasn't the best ramen I've had but I'm willing to try again

    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!

    After 3 other restaurants told us it would be an average wait time of 2 hours for our party of 8 on…read morea Saturday night, the bright lights of 12 Lunar caught our eye as we were driving around and I'm so glad they did! We were seated immediately and the vibes were unmatched. Our waitress, T, was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our large group. The food was fantastic and we had a variety items from the menu including: the Hibachi Shrimp with Chicken, Volcano Sushi, Bento boxes, and appetizers like the Bang Bang Shrimp, Gyozas, and Calamari. The Bang Bang Shrimp was one of the best I've ever had, the shrimp was jumbo sized and the sauce was sweet but not too spicy and didn't make the fried batter soggy (we ordered twice! Lol) Everything was delicious. The DJ played music for every generation, and the karaoke made the night so much fun. This is definitely our new favorite spot on the Southside! Come check out this gem, 10 out of 10!

    This is a hidden gem!…read more My friend and I were looking for a location that would be conveniently located for both of us, and that's when we discovered 12 Lunar! The service here is super-fast. They're great. They educate you on the menu. You can ask any questions. There's no problem with them giving you information or letting you know how this dish will be presented or prepared. Service was fast. Food is delicious. As stated previously, this was my first time here, and I wasn't aware that they had drink specials. I went on a Wednesday, and they had two and three-dollar margaritas. They are served in mini cups, but it's two dollars. You get what you paid for. were tasty. I could taste the alcohol, that's not what I needed it We ordered the Bang Bang shrimp. The shrimp was large, perfectly fried, and coated in a sweet yet spicy sauce. Despite the sauce, the shrimp stayed crisp and didn't get soggy 10/10 recommend. We ended up getting two orders. We also had the miso soup, which was delicious. It was like what we needed on a cold day. It was warm and satisfying. It did kind of taste like a Ramen broth, but it was still good, nonetheless. I ordered the Ramen Spicy Shrimp Golden, chef's kiss! I added some crispy garlic to the top and chili oil. Listen, this was a beautiful dish. I even saved it for later. Amazing. The noodles did not get fluffy after sitting in the broth for a while 10/10. We do intend on making this our regular spot. The only downside is the parking. It's extremely limited, and it's in a plaza with several other businesses, but if you check on the backside of the restaurant, there is additional parking.
