And I haven't had one experience going thru that in the metro Atlanta or maybe every ramen shops here have a great exhaust system built in. It def is quite seldom to find a legit shop that practices these old ways of doing things right. It was quite hard to tell if this shop cooks its own broth and noodles or uses soup paste and premade noodles readily available from Japanese food distributors - I will stay naive and believe that they either seem to cook their own own or sup up the OMP with custom ingredients for that grade up. Chashu rice was pretty good with hella scallions, but my suspicious mind kept walking towards the easily available menus off the distributor ordering sheets. 3/5.

When…read moreyou walk in they have tons of ramen, a tall cooler of good drinks and additional items to add to ramen with a gaming area in the back. I do feel we could have just done it all at home but they have these special bowls and machines that cook it all right there. I was looking more forward to making it ourselves but the ladies in there handled almost everything. The prices were a little higher in my opinion and she definitely had a lot of suggestions to add to your bowl ( a la carte.) We let the kids get the Squid Games cookies which were $6 each (ouch) but wanted to have the whole experience. I don't have the desire to go back as the ramen in there could be found anywhere. Parking was easy, it's in a plaza and the ambience was cool for a kid while the ramen was only as good as the combination you created. The prices need to be lowered and a bowl should at least include some of the items such as an egg and you shouldn't be charged separately. I would also suggest the cookies come down to at least $3. I wish for the kids to be able to do their own bowl and not be hovered around. Cute place but one and 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.

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!

The raw onions are a bit much but good. I do like this place but again a bit pricey. For ramen and buns. But something you don't see often, cleaning. Owning a restaurant is 90% cleaning and 10% cooking. I know cuz we used to own a restaurant.

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.
