Indoor looking out

Warning: I have high standards for ramen since I came from a Japanese area in California. 1. My biggest issue of this place is the broth. Tonkotsu supposed to be deepppp, but this is not deep and has a artificial aftertaste. But if you are here I recommend the shio over shoyu since it has a little less aftertaste. 2. They chose thin noodle: good side is it infused more broth flavor, bad side is it get soggy fast in hot soup. And since their soup is not good, it's really boring in my mouth, both flavor and texture wise 3. Their chasu is just bland and hard. Good chasu supposed to be tender, flavorful and packed with smokiness 4. They do their eggs right! Runny, creamy, with shoyu and sake flavor. 5. Big No on their bamboo shoots! It still has that preservatives smell from the can! 6. Tip: If you ask for ice water they will serve water bottle that you have to pay for. You have to ask them you just want normal water so they bring you a free water pitcher Overall, I won't be coming back here. But you can try for your own experience!

Spicy garlic pork shio ramen

This ramen is LEGIT. Having been to Japan it was really hard to find legit good ramen here and I'm so glad I found it!! The broth has an umami taste and their meat and noodles are cooked to perfection. Their service is really great as well. Manager said not all the appetizers are available right now for their soft opening but should be available for their grand opening. I would definitely recommend and will be back!

We were offered standard seating or a private table room, and we chose the private room. Our server was attentive from the start, quickly providing menus and waters for the table. We began with drinks and appetizers. The drinks were refreshing and well-balanced. The pork bao buns were a standout -- warm, pillowy buns with tender pork that was slightly sweet, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth soft. The takoyaki had a rich, creamy interior and was topped beautifully, though the octopus itself was a bit chewy. Still, the flavors were bold and satisfying. The ramen arrived shortly after, and every bowl was truly excellent. The broth was deep and layered, full of umami, and clearly simmered with care. The noodles had that perfect springy, chewy texture that makes each bite satisfying. The pork slices were tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, adding great balance to the bowl. Every spoonful had both comfort and flavor -- the kind of ramen you pause mid-meal just to appreciate. If you're looking for a delicious ramen spot with a unique dining experience at a reasonable price, this is definitely the place!

The service was great and my waiter did an excellent job of explaining the menu and specials to me (he also convinced me to order the three beer special). Now for the good part! I ordered the ultra spicy ramen with seven piece Karaage chicken. My ramen was great! The flavor was really good and the portion size was perfect. I have to admit, the flavor was a little bit different than I remember but it was still very good. The Karaage chicken was the bomb!!! Cooked perfectly with an incredible crunch and the side of whatever salt matched the chicken perfectly. Overall this place keeps the title as one of the best ramen restaurants in the Atlanta and surrounding area. Just my humble opinion.

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.

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.

Recently, I was finally able to bring my husband to this place to check out their amazing lunch…read morespecials.... Despite loving the foods here, it's been awhile since I last visited...and I definitely noticed some changes in the menu. Luckily, the foods tasted as great as ever! My husband ordered the Katsu Chicken w/ Miso Soup Combo, and I had the Kimchi Nabe Udon Donkatsu Combo...plus an order of Shrimp Tempura...and again, everything was DEE-Lish!! What's mor, as mentioned before, the overall value of this quality meal was unbeatable! Despite near fast food pricing, the foods were so high in quality. Possibly the best, flakiest-crunchiest Katsu I've had in this year?? The thing that was a shockingly bad (no fault of the restaurant) was the crowd that day. It was early Sunday, and it was packed with young teens that were incredibly loud. All the adult diners seemed near shocked at how ridiculously loud they were being. I personally felt that they should have been chaperoned or something. Some of the teens looked REALLY young...like 13 or so? Frankly, they literally ruined the dining experience for everyone there! THAT aside, we thoroughly enjoyed the foods. Since I don't feel that I should penalize the restaurant for the rude, young diners, I'm keeping the stars the same...all 5 stars! Well deserved!!

Pretty big place with lots of seating to choose from. The cheese to katsu was crispy in the outside and lots of cheese inside. I like that it comes with a cabbage salad, rice, and udon noodles. A lot of food! The oden udon was okay. That gave a good bit of oden.

Megan wanted a dining room meal not fast foo, so we picked Jinya based on my experience at the Athens location. It was a good choice! There are many restaurants in this plaza, so there is plenty of good parking. We were in after 1pm so the lunch crowd was mostly gone. The restaurant has the somewhat standard contemporary asian restaurant look. We were quickly seated at a window table. The menu is small but has what you want for a ramen restaurant. I ordered the original tonkotsu with crispy chicken topping. Megan ordered the chicken ramen. The order arrived quickly at our table along with some additional sauces. My ramen was outstanding. The pork slices were tender and delicious. I don't know how they flavor that egg but it is good! The broth was tasty but aggressively salted. The chicken topping was just the over the top thing I like. Megan liked her chicken ramen quite a bit, so much so she ate it all, not bring anything home. Yes I would come back next time I am hungry in the area. It was $47 plus tip including soft drinks. Seems to be an extensive bar here too if you are looking for that. Hey if you are across 85 at Costco thinking about lunch, come over here! Even if you don't come to Jinya there are better choices here that you might miss if you stay over there!

I came here on a Thursday afternoon, bit prior to their break. I would say around 2:50 to 3 PM, and…read morethe establishment takes a break every day from 3:30 to 4:30 PM for one hour. I'm assuming to give the team a break. There was only one other table of guest inside with a family of three, besides myself. There's ample parking out front, however, the spots are a bit tight, so just be careful. Inside is lovely, I would say it has a woodsy atmosphere, they have some Mukbang's playing on the TV, and music playing inside as well. I was really excited for one item in particular and that is the DONPA, which is a fried pork cutlet bowl, with one of their pastas inside. I opted for this, and got the basil cream pasta, I was curious about making it spicy, and the server was extremely kind of work with me and let me know they could just put the spice seasoning they used to do it on the side. Which I'm glad for, cause it does definitely does pack some heat, so you want to use that sparingly, but it was delicious with my meal. I also added on a sweet potato cheese ball. That was amazing, I've never had anything like it. It was sort of like a mashed sweet potato, but some type of white maybe mozzarella cheese in the middle that had a crazy cheese pull. Overall, it was a very quick meal I was in and out with all my food, and had apple leftovers for the next day and they tasted just as great. Really hoping to make my way back to try the kimbap, the donpa dish is the most perfect intersection of what I would say is Korean and Italian, and both the pickled radish, and the kimchi radishes were a great contrast to their fried, more heavy meal. Now that I've had it on my own, I'm excited to go back with others so we could experience multiple more dishes!

My friends and I have fond memories of this place, and it's still just as good as before. The…read morerestaurant is warm, and with all the wood, makes for like a cozy cabin or an older house kind of vibe. It completely fits with the nostalgia we were feeling and hanging out with each other again. Service was efficient, and we were easily able to converse with each other. The food is pretty heavy what with it being fried and mostly carbs, but the kimchi and pickled radish help cut the greasiness of it. One of the standout things about this place is that they have DonPas. When we first heard of it, we though it would be fun to get. The donkatsu used for it is thin and fried well. The pork wasn't dry at all, and it was able to hold the pasta and its sauce while remaining crunchy though you definitely should eat it before the sauce truly sets in and changes the texture. For the pasta portion, we went with carbonara pasta, and it was good! Creamy and paired pretty well with donkatsu, which normally has a different type of sauce with it. We also got the UFO fried rice to share. It was filling, and I highly recommend it with egg, cheese, and corn over sauce. That being said, not a fan of the lot to get here. It's got a bit of an decline/incline, not the worst I've experienced, but still something that I took note of. At least my car didn't hit the ground with a scratch like another place I've been to. Leaving can be difficult if it's a busy time with lots of cars, but it's not too bad... I just know I'm not the best driver.

We started with a lineup of their small plates, and they were incredible. The crispy chicken is golden and perfectly seasoned, the pork gyoza is pan-fried to absolute perfection, and their spicy tuna tacos in crisp wonton shells add such a delicious bite.

Their chicken broth options are ultra-rich, comforting, and packed with flavor, paired with perfectly cooked noodles and tender chicken chashu. If you get a chance to try their beef broth creations, it features slow-cooked beef in a deeply spiced broth with fresh cilantro, onions, and lime that warms you right up.
