Hit Grant Park’s Hotto Hotto for ramen paired with a good time - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation
"There’s a long rectangular patio and a window-service bar at Hotto Hotto, a casual ramen and teppanyaki spot in Grant Park, making it an easy choice for a low-key lunch in the sun or a great place to hang with your big group. The ramen here is fantastic. It’s rich with broth good enough to pour into a Stanley cup and drink. The Sapporo chicken ramen is a prime example of what this spot does well. It arrives in a massive bowl, filled with a silky, almost creamy broth and slices of well-seasoned chicken breast. If you’re not feeling soupy, the street ramen is a good brothless alternative, with the springy, garlic noodles doing most of the work. The menu’s wide, with a lot of satisfying options like the teppanyaki salmon, which flakes easily under a light teriyaki glaze. Add in the big drink menu with draft beers, sakes, and cocktails, and you’ve got a spot where everything falls into place for a good time. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Pause Unmute Food Rundown Sapporo Chicken Ramen The ramen is the best thing here. The noodles have a fresh, springy texture, and they’re pretty thick for a ramen noodle, which we dig. The broth is the star in this dish—silky, rich, and full of flavor. The chicken is seasoned well and tastes like it kissed a grill before landing in this bowl. Street Ramen This is good. It’s brothless, but the light, bouncy noodles have enough of a garlicky taste that it still feels warm, hearty, and comforting. Teppanyaki Teriyaki Salmon A solid order. We suggest getting it with the fried rice, which is sweet and garlicky. The lightly glazed teriyaki salmon barely needs chewing. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Teriyaki Wings Be warned: these come skinless. The glaze is sweet without going full syrup, but the meat could use more seasoning. They’re fine. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Okonomiyaki Japanese Pancake Their version of this traditional savory pancake is packed with seasoned shredded cabbage, carrots, and yams. It’s good. But you’ll want to eat it right away because it can get a bit soggy if it sits for too long. So maybe skip it if you’re doing takeout." - Jacinta Howard
