The location is beautiful as there is outdoor seating and outdoor space. I got the spicy tuna nachos, and the tuna was TRULY spicy and they were so filling. It came with fresh avocado spicy tuna and two different sauces layered on top. It should be shared as an appetizer or as a meal for one person but I was too hungry and had it to myself . I also got the EAV burrito and it was also delicious. Everything was fresh tasting and flavorful. I was unable to finish it and am looking forward to leftovers. Covid friendly, everyone had on a mask and there is touchless payment available. Cant wait to visit again and try more items!

Bottom Line: I'd only recommend this place if you're already…read morehanging at Town Green(Downtown Duluth). Decent food but a bit pricier than what I think it's worth. The building itself is called the Sweet Octopus. It seemingly houses four different businesses(although they may just be four distinct menus with the same business): Poke Burri, Lifting Noodles Ramen, Thai & Sushi, and Empanadas House(second floor). The first two menus are served inside on the first floor. I'm not sure about the Thai & Sushi Menu. I thought I saw on the online menu that you could create your own sushi burrito, but the menu at the restaurant only has custom poke bowls. Go online to their website to see the Secret Menu. I would have tried the sushi pizza from that menu but I was ordering takeout, so maybe next time. Atmosphere: Very nice and comfortable. Outdoor seating available, plenty of natural sunlight indoors, medium noise level from the kitchen, very spacious. Strings of lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling. Food: I got an order of Fried Gyoza for my appetizer. Four pieces for with gyoza sauce for $5 was a fair price. The dough was a bit stale and the sauce was more sweet than I'm used to, but the pork filling was great. I got the $16 Best of the Best Burrito for my entree. I feel like they could drop the price a few bucks. $16 for what I got didn't really seem worth it. Another review said the burritos were the size of egg rolls. They're definitely bigger than that. Mine filled me up. The fish tasted pretty fresh to my surprise. On the other hand, it wasn't that tender. I pulled a long strip of salmon out of the burrito with my teeth because I couldn't bite into it. It was also so sweet. Looking at the ingredients, it should not be sweet. I didn't like it very much. If it were better, I'd still find a $12-$13 price tag more reasonable. Service: There wasn't much to say about this as it was a fast food restaurant. The server was an average server. I didn't bother checking the cleanliness of the tables since I ordered takeout. My food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Overall: I do agree this place is slightly overpriced, but that was just for my burrito. The poke bowls definitely looked very overpriced. I wouldn't come for those. This entire area is meant to stroll through to relax. If you're already here, the sushi burrito can be fun for kids or a date. That's what I would recommend you visit this restaurant for. If you're looking for a poke bowl, you can very likely get a good bowl elsewhere for a much lower price. Definitely wouldn't go out of my way for this place if I were craving sushi but out of rare convenience, I would.

(5/5) Got the BBQ…read morechicken plate with rice and macaroni salad. Portion size was good and definitely filling. The BBQ chicken itself tasted good and had nice flavor, but it came as a full piece and needed to be cut up into smaller bite-sized pieces myself. It would've been a lot more convenient and enjoyable if it was already prepared that way. The macaroni salad was actually really good. The rice was solid and paired well with the chicken. One thing that would've made this meal even better: an extra side of BBQ sauce. The chicken had flavor, but having more sauce to pour over the chicken and rice would've taken it up another level. Overall, good comfort food and I'd order again, but pre-cut chicken and extra sauce would make this an easy upgrade. Service : Fast & quick!

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue recently opened a location in Duluth, and we were excited to check it out! We…read morehad a great experience overall and are happy to have another late-night dining option in the area. It feels like so many restaurants close early these days, so it's refreshing to find a spot with convenient hours when those Hawaiian food cravings hit. The entrees we ordered were flavorful, satisfying, and generously portioned. While the prices are a little on the higher side, the quality and portions help justify it especially if you're craving classic Hawaiian comfort food. And let's talk about the macaroni salad: it was absolutely delicious! Creamy, nostalgic, and exactly what I was hoping for. I'll definitely be ordering extra next time. One of my favorite touches was seeing Hawaiian Sun canned drinks available here. It instantly brought a little taste of the islands to Duluth and paired perfectly with the meal. The only item that missed the mark for me was the Spam musubi. The rice to Spam ratio felt off, with a much thicker layer of rice and a fairly thinner slice of Spam. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as balanced as I'd hoped. Overall, L&L is a welcome addition to the area and definitely worth checking out. They're conveniently located in the same shopping center as EM Bop. I'm already looking forward to coming back to explore more of the menu and without question, ordering extra macaroni salad!

Discovered…read morethis place by a recommendation and I work nearby so this was a welcome addition to my options of places to eat when I don't bring lunch from home. I got the chicken teriyaki bento box which comes with 2 sides of which they have excellent options including healthy choices like seaweed salad and regular salad. Comes with a few sushi pieces which is nice and I added a fountain drink of which their options include coke products and sweet and unsweetened tea made in house. The customer service is friendly and helpful. I told the cashier it was my first time and she was very kind and helped me make some great choices. The ambiance of the store is spacious and mom and pop feel while being organized and friendly. I'm a fan of the food, the service, and the reasonable prices and look forward to returning in the near future. Excellent name by the way. 5 stars and two thumbs up for Extreme Teriyaki!

I don't even know where to start. My sister brought me here after coming 2 days prior with her…read morefriends. She liked it that much she didn't waste no time returning. Let's just say don't come here alone or with only 2 people especially if ordering one of the Sushi/Sashimi. It felt like a buffet without the getting up part. It was just food after food after food being brought to our table. The first course brought out was corn cheese, steamed egg, and a plate with a mixture of fried onions, zucchini, potatoes, & sweet potatoes. The corn cheese and steamed eggs were so good. I've had boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, & fried eggs but never have I had steamed eggs, it was really good. Then out came the main course, Sushi/ sashimi- regular. This platter had tuna, salmon, yellow tail, & flounder with both California & tuna sushi rolls. I'm not a raw food eater so my sister ate most of the raw food and ate the sushi rolls. With just the two of us we couldn't finish everything. I thought we were done then out came the miso soup. I took a few sips but at this point I was so full. It was definitely an experience and I see why my sister wanted me to check it out and also why she returned so soon. All the ladies that were working here were really helpful as well in explaining all the foods for us.

This was my second time at this restaurant. The first time, I ordered takeout, and the lady who…read morehelped me was very nice and the food was good, so I decided to give it another try. This time, I had my dogs with me, so we asked if we could sit outside since there were three outdoor tables available. The older lady said that was fine, but we would need to pay first. Of course, we had no problem with that. Our bill for two donburi bowls and one sushi roll came to $47.15. We even added a 15% tip when we paid, even though we had not received our food or any table service yet. The older lady and a younger girl brought out our two donburi bowls with two waters. Everything came in to-go containers. The older lady then told us to give the younger girl a tip. I explained that we had already included a tip with our original payment. She insisted that we had not, so I showed her the receipt. Her response really surprised me. She told me that the tip was "nothing" and that we needed to give them more. What made this even more uncomfortable was that we had barely received any service at that point. They hadn't even wiped down the table before we sat down. When the younger girl later brought out our sushi roll, I decided to give her an additional $10 tip. She politely refused and said thank you. I got the impression that she was embarrassed by the way the older lady had asked for more tip. The food itself was good, and the prices were reasonable. I would have gladly given this place a 5-stars review based on the food and value alone. Unfortunately, the customer service experience completely changed that. My rating of two stars for the food and the younger girl's attitude, but unfortunately, the interaction with the older lady took away the rest. Good food and good prices, but the unpleasant customer service experience left a bad taste and unfortunately ruined what could have been a great lunch.

Depending on time it does get busy which means you'll have to join the waitlist but overall everything's relatively fast wait time. When you walk in, you can sit at the ramen bar at the entrance if you don't want to sit at a table (if available), maybe 5-6 seats total at bar. You can ask for a ramen card, believe it's 10 stamps you need in order to get next visit with a free ramen bowl. I'm a regular so this comes in handy with a family of 3! They also had vegan options for anyone wondering! Overall great restaurant, friendly staff, and amazing food!

The broth was overwhelmingly salty, and I really didn't care for the noodles. They were thin, round, and stringy, and didn't seem homemade. Honestly, they were unlike any ramen noodles I've had anywhere, including loving years in Japan. I wanted to like this place. I even came back to make sure I hadn't just ordered the wrong thing the first time. Apparently I didn't. Two visits. Two strikes. I think I'm done.

From warm greetings, to customer service, to food quality, this place is an underrated restaurant. They have hwal uh (live fish freshly filleted) at an affordable cost that is served with perilla leaves, whole garlic, and Korean style dipping sauce called ssamjang. Must try Korean style sushi restaurant with wide variety of menu to accommodate all kinds of customers. If you are in Duluth, Georgia and craving sushi, this is the spot for you. Look no further. The restaurant is located in a plaza that offers plenty of free parking and I do recommend this place to everyone who is a fan of good food. Thank you Sushi Misong for another great dining experience.

The best time to eat food in Gwinnett Pleasant Hill is honestly the lunchtime. Many restaurants…read morehave specials and I would say eating lunch special at Misong is the most worth it and least hassle. Otherwise, the traffic, wait times, and prices can be quite different in the evenings and weekends. I think this is my new go to for Korean sushi- the portions were humongous and the fish was actually quite fresh. This is located right by the great wall supermarket so it was a convenient place to shop and stroll over the plaza with bubble teas right in front of it. I ordered the chirashi combo and it was so large that I struggled to finish. the ban chan was good. My friend ordered the fish and salad combo and that was definitely more feasible for one person. what stopped it from getting the 5 star was probably service. I think the service disappeared after the food arrived and really didn't come back afterwards for refills or checking in. This is ok if you don't want to be disturbed but it also felt a little hostile. I think we had to ring for the check because we were forgotten and this was a weekday lunch time too! I would come back for another lunchtime special. I thought the quality was actually quite good, price reasonable and loved that there was no line/no crazy parking lot to deal with.
