Umma Kitchen is one of my favorite places to eat in Atlanta and was genuinely surprised to see that I hadn't written a review for them. Maybe I was gatekeeping! I've been here a good chunk of times and have enjoyed everything tremendously. Whether it's their excellent poke bowls, the Korean bibimbap/bbq bowls, or their drinks. I've tried their taro boba and the hot honey ginger tea as well. I truly have loved absolutely everything. Not only that, but the interior is super cute, and they offer tons of fun beverages and Korean snacks. Lastly, the service is always fantastic, and it appears to be a family run business. They are extremely polite and kind. This is one of my absolute go to options in Atlanta, and I'll gatekeep it no longer! Wonderful restaurant. read more

Ordered the bulgogi bibimbap, crunchy chicken, and tofu bibimbap. Food tasted very yummy, esp the crunchy chicken. Service was fast. You order the food on the iPad and then they called your order to pick up at the counter. The restaurant is clean. read more

If I was reviewing just the drinks alone, I would have given it 1 star. The matcha flavor was not there at all and it had a really strong milky cheesy flavor to it. The thai tea tasted better in general, but still didn't taste like Thai tea. However, the food itself was pretty good! The crunchy chicken was so juicy and crispy and flavorful. And all of the bowls had so many different options and were so filling. Especially for the price! I would definitely go back for the food, but I wouldn't be ordering any more drinks from them. read more

The most kind staff and a clean and sunlit atmosphere. They give free hot barley tea. We got the Bulgogi Bibimbap and Spicy Pork Bibimbap. Both were delicious and packed with veggies with a good portion of meat! Great flavor and freshness read more

Umma Kitchen - SPICY PORK BIBIMBAP at bottom. Bulgogi Bibimbap at top - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Umma kitchen is a nice place, close to pidemont park. Its a similar concept like chipotle except its Korean. You choose your base, protein and toppings. You order on the ipad which are attached to table and pickup the food at counter once ready (Payment at the counter). The portions are huge and food is made to the order. There are few condiments at the counter where you pick up the food. Water, barley tea are free and there are several drinks avaliable for purchase. Plenty of parking as its part of the shopping complex. Prices are 15$ to 18$ per bowl. read more

We ordered a variety of things and everything was very tasty with a huge portion. I like the idea you can customize your bowls from ingredient to sauce. Bulgogi with glass noodles were fantastic. They were also very careful to accommodate food allergies. Rice cake side dish was a surprise. The outside was crispy and the inside were gooey. I also like the sweet and spicy sauce. However, I'm not a big fan of the bubble tea. We ordered brown sugar bubble tea and it was mostly milk. read more

I still daydream about this place! You order from your table through a device and food comes right up. I had a rice bowl with protein and added additional veggies. PHENOMENAL. I also had a boba Thai tea, which I could've done without the boba and will go without next time. But if you need a quick, healthy, satisfying lunch, this is the place! read more

Food: Great portion sizes and fresh ingredients. Reminds me of food back home. We tried the spicy chicken and the teriyaki bibimbaps and would recommend both. They have a good proportion of rice to veggies to protein. Service: Food comes out quickly and the staff are very kind. You order at a table on the iPad and pickup/pay at the counter. Self-service water area. Restroom available inside. Ambiance: Peaceful and clean indoor seating with warm, diffuse lighting and soft piano music. Outdoor patio seating available, and it's dog-friendly. read more

I'm a lover of all things poke bowl and decided to check out Umma which is relatively new. Such a cute and aesthetic restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. You order via the many tablets around the restaurant and then pay at the register. I ordered a medium poke bowl which to my surprise came with three proteins because most places do like 2 for medium. As you can see, my bowl was filled to the brim and they did not skimp out on toppings or protein. Super delicious and came out very fast. I opted to get the sweet chili sauce--I'm normally an eel sauce girl but they didn't have that here--and it was a nice replacement. Overall, great poke spot! Definitely want to come back and try some of their Korean dishes and their boba. read more

Went to the UPS Store nextdoor to Umma Kitchen and decided to pop in since they changed the name. Was some of the freshest and tastiest food I've had in a very long time, with a particular WOW to the sweet-potato noodles. all the toppings are great as well, along with friendly and fast service. As is critically important in fast-casual grab-and-go, the restaurant itself was very clean and vibrant. Kind of a hidden gem in Midtown if I'm honest, and can't wait to go back! ps: the meal lasted me for two days and tasted even better the next day. highly recommended! read more

Nice atmosphere and decor, friendly greetings, clean and most/if not all items under $18/base price. Portions are quite large, I feel like all the bibimbap and bowls could be 2 portions or 1 with leftovers. Been here multiple times, always fresh and delicious (and seems healthy)! I've tried all the bibimbaps (spicy chicken, bulgogi, teryaki --- fav is bulgolgi) except tofu --- all are very flavorful and filling! Simple to customize ingredients and flavors/sauces thru their tablet on each table --- it's mostly self-service and you pickup the food at the counter when they call you. There is also human-human interaction/ordering available :) For side, I've tried DUKKBOKKI - light spicy, yummy! I really love their free water and free barley tea...hot so be careful. They've added ice-cream bars and also have option of cooking ramen....not tried it yet. I've always sat inside, usually not loud/quiet and plenty of seats. They do have a cute outdoor area. A++ highly recommend! read more

Sad to share a bad review of this place; however, and specially in the food industry, costumer service plays a huge role. I wanted to order at the cashier (empty at that time) and I was sent to a table to place my order from the tablet; we were a table of 5; my friends orders starting to come through, mine wasn't; all my friends had their food, and after 25 min waiting I realized that my order was lost; went to the cashier and I was sent back to my table to "wait" and then a server arrived with a sample of a sauce; still no food. I tried to again explain that my order was never delivered and again, there wasn't any type of resolution, just to be sent back to the line and wait. At this moment the only assistance I received was from a server that kindly ask me to order again and she offered to help me. Food was average, the poke bowl tasted average and similar to other places with the same concept. I won't be back to this location. read more

We order from Umma Kitchen at least once a month--sometimes twice! These bowls are such a delicious, modern take on casual Korean food. I'm Korean and sometimes just need that Korean food fix, but driving to Buford Highway isn't always convenient. Umma totally hits the spot. I always get the spicy tofu K-BBQ bowl and sub the rice for my favorite--glass noodles, like the kind in japchae. It's seriously an 11/10. And don't even get me started on the crunchy chicken--WOW. If they ever made a bowl with that, I'd be all over it. I like to call Umma Kitchen the "Cava of Korean food," and I mean that as the highest compliment. So good, so consistent, and always craving it again the next day. read more

I love going here whenever I shop at the Trader Joe's nearby. The portion sizes are great, and the spicy tuna is always fresh. Every time I've gone there, everyone is so sweet and gives great recommendations!! They also provide free barley tea which is delicious. read more

Love this place for a quick healthy meal! An introverts paradise! You can order at the kiosk without talking to a single soul, or order at the counter if you're feeling social ;). It is super casual and they even have instant ramen you can purchase and make there like in Asia. If you order at the kiosk, they will call out your order when it's ready and you will pay at the counter when you get the order. I have gotten the bibimbap and poke bowl before and it is a ton of food! The bibimbap can last several meals for me and the poke is so fresh and delicious it doesn't make it to a second meal! Everyone is so friendly and quick. read more

Visited Umma Kitchen for the first time, not knowing that this gem was located right in our neighborhood. The bibimbap was outstanding, and staff truly could not have been nicer. The atmosphere was so clean and pleasant that it made us feel like we were in a different city altogether. The restaurant appears to be operated by a family who truly cares about quality and service, and it is no wonder why they are so highly rated. We look forward to becoming repeat customers. Thank you Umma Kitchen team for such a great experience! read more

I am gluten free and oil free and I was able to have a delicious tuna poke bowl with spicy mango sauce. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. I love that this place is close to the beltline. I stopped in on my lunch time grocery run to TJs. The woman at the counter was very helpful and made sure I was getting a gluten free and oil free sauce. There are cute tables and chairs and a nice window seat. The tables have a tablet that let you order food straight to the table. I will be coming back. read more

The food selection was great and the bibimbap was excellent. The service was fast and I enjoyed the feeling of authenticity.

New place that opened in place of one of my favorite poke spots in Atlanta. I am glad to report it is still the same amazing poke, with so much more now! Prices are about the same, and now they offer Korean bibimbap bowls as well as other Korean dishes. Can self-order at individual tablets on numbered tables, and they call out your order by table number. Very convenient! Poke was amazing, and portions are standard. There is a even a free water station with a high quality water filter machine, as well as a scoop to add ice! They offer boba, but the boba is quite disappointing. The flavors of the thai tea and brown sugar boba are not quite right, and the tapioca pearls are not the best I've had. I absolutely love the ambiance of the restaurant, they play light jazzy piano, and there is a homey and cozy atmosphere. Which I thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitively be coming back often! read more

Umma use to be one of my favorite spots but then they started skimping on portion sizes and they plan to raise prices. All for supporting local businesses but when you order a large, don't give me a small portion in a large bowl. read more

Randomly discovered this place as I was searching for a healthy lunch option. Since I love poke bowls, I knew this would satisfy me, and it did not disappoint! I actually ordered the salmon sushi burrito and it was very good! The portion was huge and I was able to get two meals out of it. I loved the sesame oil and spicy mayo sauce, which added so much flavor to it. I also love how quick the service is because I was able to order and get my meal in around 10 mins. read more

The poke burrito with salmon was amazing, and a great ambiance! Pleasant indoor and outdoor seating.

Came for a quick dinner and Ummas did not disappoint! We ordered a medium poke bowl, small poke bowl and a chicken bowl! These medium came with a choice of three proteins and a small came with two! Honestly the small was more than enough as these bowls were packed to the brim! The salmon, tuna and octopus were so fresh! There were also tons of toppings to choose from. Loved all the vegetables options as well, got kale, cilantro, cabbage and more. The seaweed and masago options were such a plus! For the base of the small bowl I got the glass noodles and they were so tasty. Everything was well seasoned and they had lots of sauce options as well. The chicken bowl was huge and came with lots of vegetables and tons of protein. They also gave a choice of sauce on the side. The service was so friendly and welcoming and although it is a self serve type of restaurant they were helpful and nice. Overall, would come back and they also have free parking! read more

I've only done takeout, but this is the go-to spot for poke in Midtown. The portions are generous to the point of almost being ridiculous, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. No matter how you customize your bowl, it's bound to be a win. Absolutely worth checking out. read more

I've been regularly coming here since they reopened, their poke is amazing! Well priced and extremely well portioned, I can tell that the staff care about the quality of their business.

LOCATED BEHIND STARBUCKS (because the map will drop you at Trader Joe's) is this really fantastic little place. Came right off the beltline for poke bowls and was pleasantly surprised in every way! You know when you play jazz videos off YouTube to keep the intrusive thoughts out of your brain? Well they're playing it! It's clean, the bathroom was SPOTLESS. You don't have to talk to anyone to order (although they are incredibly kind and nice), there are IPads at the table to order from. The free hot barley tea is my new obsession this fall. I could not believe my eyes that they were playing ESPN8 The Ocho, which is my favorite channel ever. The food was out of this world, big portions and fresh ingredients. This can't be hidden for long- this should be your next beltline meal! read more
