Excellent food and service
Victor P.

Clean overall, bathrooms are in great condition and the service is excellent and the food of course. I would come back again.

Stone Bibimbap Stone Bowl with Bulgogi
Melissa H.

Don't let the exterior dissuade you- well worth it. We just happened to stop in because of the reviews and very glad we did. Excellent food and generous serving size. If you want to have a cool dining experience get the stone bowl- I had it with rice and bulgogi and vegs. Great flavor. There was one young lady working the front and delivering orders to the tables. She was great and very personable. When we arrived we were the only ones in, but within 20 minutes there were at least a dozen people. I think we have found a hidden gem!

Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice
Mario H.

Amazing food, service, and ambiance!! Food portions are large and you definitely get your moneys worth with the quality!

Stir fry 2 meat Bowl

Phenomenal stir fried Bowl! I travel over 100+ days across the world and decided to give it a try. The food was fresh. Incredible service. Plenty of food It's a repeat for my next visit. Haven't had oriental food this delicious since trip to china town in San Francisco!!

Call in my order and it was 10 to 15 minutes and it was ready. Customer service was great. It was OK could've had a little more flavor but still good and great portion.

Original Ramen Bowl Stir Fry Shrimp
Rhonda G.

First off it smells SOOOO GOOD wen you walk in. The amazing aroma SLAPPED me in my face so I HAD to order something! The cashier asked if it was my first time and I said yes. He was extremely helpful breaking down the menu and his recommendation. I ordered the Ramen with spicy shrimp and shrimp eggrolls. The Ramen is huge so beware. It was good wit lots of flavor ( could've used more seasoning though) and the eggrolls were delicious! Will be returning soon especially during these cold rainy days.

Fried Tofu Poke Bowl

Poke Bowl was very good. Spicy Mayo is definitely SPICY. Have to get bottled drinks. No fountain drinks. Ambience is a little off, but the food was good.

Bibimbap Bowl with tofu
Nisha B.

I ordered the bibimbap with tofu and didn't really like it! The tofu had absolutely no flavor and I really couldn't stand to eat it. The rest of the dish was just ok. I think the prices are average, can get a bit pricy depending on the protein you add. I got takeout and I am glad I did becuase the inside looked very dim and also smelled like cleaning products. The staff at the front were really nice though and had our order ready pretty quickly, but I probably wouldn't be back.

First time visiting The Bowl, I made my own bowl full of fresh veggies and tofu. The spicy mayo sauce is spicy, be aware of that! It is a simple menu, not to many options. Flavor is good and the costumer service was pretty good.

Stephanie G.

Giving this place 4 stars because of the staff's friendliness and the place was kept clean and I love the kimonos hung on the wall. I haven't been here in a very long time and wasn't starving either, so I shared the hot stone bulgogi with brown rice with my sister. Her boyfriend got the ramen and spring rolls. The bulgogi had a nice flavor but wasn't expecting the serving to be very soupy. I didn't try the ramen personally but heard it was spicy (he ordered spicy level 7 out of 10). The spring rolls were nice and crispy and your typical spring rolls. This place definitely caters to the American palette. If you're looking for something more authentic, I say go to Buford Highway or elsewhere since this is not the place for that.

Menu
Madalyn J.

My fiance and I just moved to the area and this is the place we have frequented the most. It is kind of a hole in the wall, and it is SO good! The owner is there every time we have been, and she is always so kind and helpful and will explain the menu to us. Everything is so delicious and authentic, and we love to versatility of the menu. We love the ramen, fried ramen, bulgogi bibimbap, poke bowls, and the fried rice! We will continue to rave about this place and keep coming back!

Chicken and rice was dry, veggie was suggy and no flavor in any of the food. Overpriced. Go other place.

We've had this place on our list to try for awhile now and finally got the opportunity to stop by…read moreon a Saturday around 1pm They do lunch even on the weekends so what a nice surprise to be able to order from the lunch menu which put our bill around $20 ish an entree! We got the sushi and sashimi lunch and a bento box which was enough for 2 adults and a hungry toddler Each lunch comes with soup or salad & both were delicious. They have a mayo-y ginger dressing similar to yum yum sauce. I prefer vinegar based but it was good! The nigiri had a little flair which I love! And everything was so fresh and soft pieces of fish. Very good quality for this price point! Sashimi had some nice cuts & generous pieces & plate presentation was Instagram ready The bento came with California roll, yakitori stick, tons of veggies, fried rice (+$1 but worth), huge portion of meat of choice, and shumai (or gyoza). This is big enough for 2 small eaters or one big eater. Everything was delicious and we were checked on often Their high chairs are clean & staff were pleasant with the toddler They have specials listed at the front door in tiny font I couldn't read from far away & they also sell jewelry it seems I didn't get a pic of the entire menu because it was multiple books and I didn't realize it We'd definitely come back! Plenty of parking in a shared lot

Overall, we had a good experience at Momoiro Ramen at Marietta Square Market in mid-October…read more Parking was easy for us to find in a free lot near Marietta Square Market. However, if there are nearby events or special promotions, finding available parking may be challenging. Customers can park farther away and walk MSM, though. Momoiro is a very popular food vendor in the food hall, and there seems to be a constant line of customers waiting to either order food or to pick up their orders. The menu is rather simple, with categories that include ramen, rice bowls, bao buns, sides, nigiri, drinks and one type of dessert. Customers go to the order counter to order, wait around to pick up their order, then, if they don't do take out, find a place to eat inside or outside the food hall. We waited in a long line, but it took us about 15 minutes of standing in line before we were able to place our orders. Service was patient, quick and efficient, though, and it took us only about 5 minutes for our food to be ready. We didn't walk that many steps away from Momoiro; there was an indoor dining area tucked away in the back away from the main dining area, and there were lots of empty tables that filled up quickly after we sat down. I dug into my delicious Tonkotsu Ramen, which included chashu pork, pork base, pork broth, scallions, nori, blackened garlic oil, fried garlic and seasoned egg. All of the flavors and textures complemented each other, and the ramen was cooked perfectly. I loved the taste of the chashu pork, but I wish that it was cooked just a little more. The egg was cooked perfectly to that fine point when the yolk has that just slightly jelled consistency that melts in your mouth. This dish had a good tasting broth. R enjoyed his Beef Don rice bowl, which included beef, steamed white rice, pickled cucumber and radish, scallions, bok choy, fried garlic, nori and seasoned egg. I also shared with R a spam onigiri that was a rice ball with a slice of spam all wrapped with nori seaweed. This was ok; the sauce used in it was just a little sweeter than I prefer. All portion amounts were good. We rarely make it to this part of Marietta, but we would return to Momoiro Ramen for the food.

This is a family owned and operated spot. The wife is the server, so service can get a little slow when it gets busy. However, your patience will be rewarded. We had Agedashi Tofu, seaweed salad, a sashimi platter and a sashimi/Sushi combination platter. The dashi w/ the tofu was the best I've ever had. Obviously made from scratch. Strong notes of fresh ginger, and the tofu was great. Their miso soup was similarly fantastic. No dried mix here. It was very, very good. The sushi and sashimi were great too. The prices were very fair and they were very kind. We will 100% be back.

I met my girlfriend here because our normal sushi spot in the square is closed on Mondays, and I'm her sushi friend. It is in the Kroger shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. It's a small restaurant with maybe 10 tables of 4 and 8 seats at the sushi counter. The sushi is so fresh, and the staff is so friendly. We had a hard time deciding what to eat, but we finally went with Dragon roll, rainbow roll, and spicy yellowtail. I also got a hot sake. We loved all of the rolls and will be back.
