BORUBORU

Love Boruboru! They have great sushi bowls, my favorite is the fried salmon skin bowl. They have a very creative menu of combinations and a few are a little unusual for my taste, but when you find what you like it’s really good. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. The restaurant is clean, spacious and well lit.

*Update: Seems like the portion size for Caveman got smaller? I looked at a picture I took before and it was overflowing. The one I had most recently barely reached the top of the bowl. I do like this place, but just a bit concerned about the consistency. Hope this helps. Caveman is my new favorite. It's like a flavor and texture explosion in your mouth. Crispy salmon skin, cool tuna, fresh greens. So good, especially for the fellas who want some gains.

Excellent sushi bowls and burritos! They also have salad bowls but I haven’t tried that yet. Sometimes they’ll feature special items like today they had sushi nachos, taster tots, fries pickles. Very friendly service and consistent quality. Wished I could run in and out a little quicker as this restaurant is within the Emory Point shopping area (you can see the restaurant off Clifton).

The food was delicious and the service was fast. I love that you can customize your meal in every imaginable way. I got a sushi burrito and fried octopus bites. I've never had octopus, but I'm glad I did! This was a great place and I highly recommend it to anyone!

I was working in the area so we decided to stop by and try their food, I read some of good reviews online. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, so we order the Boruboru Chicken, Boruboru salmon and Shoyu Salmon. Food was delicious and tasty and we will come back again! and by the way there's plenty of parking.

Went on a Wednesday afternoon for dinner. We were warmly greeted by the cashier also waitress and she explained the menu to us very well. I got the Spicy Pork Ramen and made it into a combo with 4pc takoyaki and soda. I highly enjoyed the takoyaki. It had a great ratio of batter to octopus but a little high on the batter side, which I enjoyed. The toppings added a great kick as well. For my ramen, I was disappointed to not find any pork belly but rather minced pork instead. Other than that, the soup was alright and the ramen was cooked well. Also pictured. My friend got the Muscle Man Burrito and really enjoyed it.

This place was phenomenal. As soon as my sister and I walked in we were greeted with a few excited voices eager to help us. It was our first time trying the place so we were hoping we would love it, and we did! The staff was amazing, the place was simple and very clean; plus in m book, and the Sushiritto was amazing! I will definitely be coming back.

Great quick spot for healthy meals! They have great poke bowl and salad options and also boba drinks. Thier spicy tuna is out of this world, not mushy like other places. Super friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely go back to BORUBORU.

I am so sad this place will be closing down at the end of the month because I just discovered them last week. I don't know why or how I found this but they make hot cheeto sushi burritos here and I just had to try it out. To my surprise it was so yummy and delicious! So much so I am thinking of dropping by again next week before they close this location. My friend ordered the fried chicken ramen and the broth was so flavorful. Really some of the better ramen I've had in Atlanta. Lastly we also ordered the salmon skin bowl but I did not read the menu well enough and did not realize it came with toasted coconuts. This was a weirdly sweet addition to what I thought should be a savory bowl. It did not go together at all. But you could build your own bowl with whatever ingredients you like to get around that. Also subtracted one star because on google it says their hours are 11-8 but when we dropped in they said they were closing between 3-4:30 so we had to get our food to go instead of dining in.

I was a bit hesitant because we eat ALOT of Ramen. Shopping plaza... so there is a parking deck and also paid street parking. Decor has a fast food vibe... high top tables and low tables. Cute. We ordered spicy fried chicken ramen and tempura shrimp ramen. To put it mildly I was shocked... the ramen and broth was RIDICULOUSLY flavorful. Portion size was good. Service was friendly. The lady who took our order was helpful and patient. Coming here was an EXCELLENT choice. I highly recommend.

Visiting Atlanta, was in the Emory Point neighborhood today (Sunday). I was hungry at 1pm, and hadn't eaten (a good) breakfast. I intended to eat out at the Chick'nCone restaurant, which is literally right across from the BoruBoru shop. Unfortunately, Chick'nCone -- which I wanted to go to -- has weird store hours, and weirder still on Sundays (they open at 2pm, probably due to church or something). So, I decided to stop by at the BoruBoru Ramen/Sushi shop, since it was open and the other shop was not. I mentioned that it was my first time at the place, and the server lady recommended I try the Muscle Man, which comes with a whole slew of various protein. I sorely needed protein, and I like that a lot of their menu options have some form or another of good solid protein. I went with the Muscle Man (as a burrito) as that seemed to check all the boxes, and seemed to have the most variety of protein. I got it with sushi rice, so the burrito was actually wrapped in a black, thin layer of sushi instead of the traditional bread, which was pretty neat. The only minus was the price, it was 2-3$ more expensive than normal, at around 15$ or so. Ate at a table inside. There was no one else at the shop at the time I came by, so I had free reign on selection of seating. I chose a four-seater table closer to the window. The burrito I ordered was brought to me. It came with raw fish -- salmon & tuna -- as well as scallion and cooked chicken for variety of protein. It also came with avocado, jalapeños, and cucumber, which I thought was a nice bonus, and made for an interesting combo and mix of flavors. The cucumber made it less dry and not as spicy, and I liked the addition. Overall, the food was nice, and the meat/protein tasted good especially with the rice and the sushi layer. It was nothing exceptional, but it was filling for a brunch, and provided a solid variety of protein. Overall, food was good and sufficiently tasty, and would recommend others to check this place out.

This place is sooooo good. Clean and modern, great service, and great food! Boriboru is facing the street side. You can park on the street or park on avenue place using park mobile. I was greeted by the cashier, who was very sweet. I ordered the caveman burrito--a mix of chicken, raw tuna, edamame, mix greens, sushi rice (you have other rice options), and some other goodness wrapped in seaweed. You can also get it in a bowl. It was AMAZING. I've never had poke before, so this was a great introduction. Ask, they have the best siracha I've ever had. I also ordered the signature boba--brown sugar, whole milk, egg flan, etc. Very sweet and good, but this was my first intro to boba, and I just can't do the texture lol. However. I think that most people who truly like boba will enjoy this. When I left, the cashier and the other staff thanked me and said bye. Again, this place is great and I'll be back!

I am impressed with this fast casual spot! Boruboru Sushi is more like a poke place even though "sushi" is in the title, it kinda throws you off a little. Takoyaki: The hubs seemed to really liked this, and for good reason as it was delightful. The textures and flavors were superb. You can get either a quantity of 2, 4, 6, and possibly even 8 (?). The extra sauce and ingredient tidbits were great. It came out all warm and soft. Boruboru style: The bowl was really delicious!! There was a lot of great textures and flavors that hit me right away. Even the cucumber's shape was unique; I think it made it taste better. :) The tuna chunks were visually striking as it was in big cubes versus little pieces. The portions did appear to have more compared to other places. Fried salmon skin: The crunchy salmon skin was amazing! The sushi burrito was quite messy to eat. The guy did warn us that we should unravel as we go. I really liked how the wrapping was made out of seaweed, but it was rather thin and tears easily. The spinach was a little strange, but it worked well balancing out the salmon. The jalapenos gave this a slight kick in spice. If you're wondering, parking in the garage will be validated so no worries there.

This spot is right beside emory university hospital Decatur and is at emory point. The spot is a counter serve casual spot with ample tables both indoor and out. We came As a party of 5 one weeknight and it was empty. They have a bunch of differnt poke bowl rice bowl and sushi burrito options premade but you can also make Your own on the menu. I tried the boru boru spicy poke with tuna. It was well Flavored. The rigjt amount of Dressing and spicy. A pretty decent spot for thr food. Most dishes were 12-15$ range.

I'm no poke expert but I love the selection, consistently high quality and fresh ingredients, and I appreciate the suggested combo bowls. Service is friendly & efficient.

Run like a thief in the night and eat here! I was staying in town for business and after reading other reviews decided to try this spot. WOW! The food is incredibly fresh and the flavors and combinations are nothing less than perfection! It's a Michelin Star worthy meal in a comfortable and casual environment. Since it was my first time, I asked them for their most popular dish and they guided me through my options. Everything we ate was delicious!! I went back the next day and ate there again before my flight home. 100/10

This is probably one of the best Poke bowl places near me. I like it more than Bullgogi I think. We tried the takoyaki, Boruboru style bowl and fried salmon skin burrito. I really enjoyed the takoyaki. There's a lot of other stuff sprinkled on it that makes the presentation great. I think all takoyaki it self kind of tastes the same. Fried squid balls taste like fried squid balls but this place really knocks it out with the presentation. I've think this is the best takoyaki balls I've had in Atlanta mainly because of all that stuff they sprinkle on top. I had the Boruboru style and it was great. The portion seemed larger than what I remember from Bullgogi and the tuna was bright and fresh. My wife was fascinated with the cucumber shape and said it tastes better because it was cute. Ordering one of their signature bowls is a better deal than creating your own. My wife fried salmon skin was crunchy and and a little messy to eat. I think the sushi burrito is kind of a fad and not really worth it. I feel like you get more value and taste with the bowls. There was validated parking. Would I come here again? Yes. I think this is one of the best restaurants at Emory Point.

I love poke bowls and when I'm in the Emoy Point area, I can't resist getting me some food at Boruboru! Food is fresh and full of flavor. My fav is the spicy tuna poke salad bowl. It has cucumbers, avocado, edamame and scallions among many ingredients. I love the dressing and the jalapeños too. I can eat this every day! Delicious!!

I stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. It was pretty empty so I walked right up to order. I ordered a custom poke bowl. The cashier said she would bring my order to my table. Their fountain pop machine was out of service so I had to get a bottled drink. Less than 5 min after I sat down, my food was coming out. It was pretty good, but they were light on the sauce.

I have been coming here for two years now. I come here for the convenience as I live in Emory Point. The decor and feel of the restaurant is very opening and clean. However, the food here is just okay. I am from Los Angeles and we have a variety of poke places that are a lot better in terms of quality and quantity. In comparison to other poke places in Atlanta, there is nothing that really special that really sticks out to me. However, there takoyaki is pretty solid; the slaw, the pickled onions, and sauce is definitely good. There are extremely busy during the weekdays because the CDC is right across the street. During weekends it is very slow. I am sure other people come here for its convenience rather than the food. The reason for my low rating is mainly for its service. Do not order on any online platform especially during lunch time. I placed my order for pickup on their website and arrived 20 minutes (the time it said it would be done). I notified the worker of my name. I noticed that people who ordered in person got their food before me. Some even finished their food before I ever got the order I placed ahead of time. It was about 35 minutes of waiting inside the restaurant. The worker asked the chef about my order without me having to remind her which I appreciate. The chef replied that he got it. Yet, I had to wait 30 more minutes for my food. More and more people that ordered after me finished their meal already. I finally got my food after around 1 hour and 30 minutes after placing the order. I only ordered one poke bowl (the shoyu). Nothing needed any cooking. This was not the first time I had to wait so long for one bowl.

I've been terribly tardy in trying Boruboru, but I finally remedied that and am a fan! Sushi burritos were a fun novelty, but I thought the dressing didn't get distributed well and there was a big wad of dry spinach right in the middle. I ended up just deconstructing the burrito and mixing everything up which worked out well for me. I'd selected the paleo one ($14) which came with a light hand of rice (you can pick sushi or brown), salmon, tuna, the aforementioned spinach, avocado, almonds, and toasted coconut flakes. Much to my surprise, I ended up being really fond of the coconut flakes, who knew? The rice/poke bowls were more my speed. I ordered the Boruboru style one with salmon ($13) and sushi rice and was really content with it. The bowl contained edamame, cucumber, masago, crispy fried onions, toasted almonds, avocado, pickled red onions and jalapeños, scallions, and nori flakes with a creamy dressing. Filling, fresh, and delicious! The employees have been very friendly and welcoming. There might be a wait for your food during peak eating times, just be patient. Customizations are easy, simply ask when you order. Boruboru will validate your parking for the garages behind The Point. And I approve of the compostable to-go containers!

I have been waiting to try this place! I'm a sucker for sushi but I really love the convenience of sushi informal. That's where poke comes in. And WHAT'S MORE than sushi informal and poke in a bowl?! Boruboru sushi where you get the convenience of sushi on the go but offered in a mega burrito (crowd goes crazy) I mean a sushi burrito allows you to fill up on a bowls worth of sushi, but in the convenience of the seaweed wrapped burrito you love. So Boruboru def delivers there. Because I was fasting my home girl and I attended because they offered vegan friendly sushi options. Pretty stinking cool. The options are ONLY tofu or no protein. Apparently they discontinued the mushrooms still on the menu. Bummer I built my own burrito and after 4 toppings they charge extra per item. Kinda inconvenient considering their menu bowls all come with more than 4 ingredients. I miss my time in LA where poke and Asian cuisine offer unlimited toppings. There's only so much that can fit anyway. ‍ My home girl decided to order a menu item bowl with a tofu substitute but the cashier said that was not allowed. That the only protein options are the ones allowed in the description (which was ALL of them except for tofu.) We thought that was odd because she was able to build her bowl using the same ingredients and tofu but it was cheaper. Not complaining on price, but the inconvenience was lacking. I think that if you're going to market a business as vegan friendly that their should be a more inclusive approach. Thankfully I am not full time vegan or I could see how this could be more frustrating. But should I consider fully converting I would have a hard time considering options that don't feel inclusive. Now for taste. My burrito was epic! If there's one thing I know about vegan life the more flavors the BETTER. I piled them on unapologetically and their house sauce was pretty epic alone. Refreshing with a kick of wasabi spice that we all know and love. Overall 4/5. The taste epic! Parking (2 hr validate in lot behind building) Vibe check Lacking on the accommodations for toppings and menu integration. ALSO, you have to choose toppings off of a tiny little laminated sheet of paper. The build your own process is not that comprehensive, but once you find your niche I'm sure it's worth it Dofu

Inconsistent portions. Consistently yummy. U don't get a ton of bang for your buck...but taste wise, always worth it. It's a good option for a fresh lighter meal or if you want to like I did something a little heavier with shrimp tempura. They have a ton of options and I always find myself ordering there again. There's been times where I've gotten a tiny portion but other times where I've gotten a huge portion so that's weirdly inconsistent Overall I recommend it for a nice lunch. I got their salad once and that was SO good!! I just didn't make my own salad thing with the seafood

Love it when I can get to my "hit list" and not be sad. Parking: limited free parking behind the restaurant. There is a parking garage and a free parking area next to cvs. Walkup counter. Three base menu: rice bowl, salad and burrito. All items can be made into either of the bases. Variety of meat, fish, and tofu options. I ordered the sushi rice bowl w tofu. It comes w mushrooms, seared tofu, kale, spinach, almond slices, avocado and spices. Nice flavor and kick!!! Think next time I will get the brown rice. Nice portion served in a earth conscious bowl. That's a plus. Fountain drinks along with some specialty drinks. My bowl alone was $11.43, so it won't be a regular. Oh but then they have a rewards card...what's a greedy girl to do!!! Staff: friendly, and knowledgeable. This was my first time and she assisted me and I wasn't disappointed. Oh and it's has an option kitchen. Looks clean and strategic. I likey...I'll be back.

*it was really expensive *it was really good *overall I would come again but by myself *also the boba had little to no effort put in it

Vegan Friendly Review: Boruboru Sushi serves Asian fusion and one of their specialties are Sushi burritos. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Emory campus with parking validation. I really enjoyed my burrito as they were not stingy with the kale or tofu. I choose a Sushi Burrito with Tofu, Kale, Brown Rice and Edamame. The sweet potato fries are also tasty. This is a great quick service meal when you are in the mood for Asian fusion with healthy options.

I have been to this place many times before and always get the same thing, but today I was surprised with my sushi burritos because they all had wasabi inside. My daughter and I usually pickup three burritos and share (it is one of our go-to place when she is visiting from Austin), however today all three were laden with wasabi and we both hate wasabi and the taste really ruined our meal and we ended up not finishing anything. I double checked the menu and neither of the items state wasabi is inside (boruboru and shoyu style). Since I have been here and purchased the exact items at least a few dozen times, I dont know why today was different. I am very disappointed with my experience and just want folks to ask when ordering so you are not surprised and disappointed.

Convenient place to do take-out orders or sit in for a casual meal. I got the spicy tuna rice bowl - and I will say that it was sub-par. I didn't love the texture of the tuna (had some of the skin kept on it) and it was NOT spicy until I added on all spice-sauces. I think especially for the price, and comparing to other poke bowls, this is a bit overpriced given what they serve. However I tried some of my friend's salmon rice bowl and I really enjoyed the texture of the salmon more. Overall I think their rice bowls are on the bland side. There are a lot of sides to choose from but at an extra price - you can ask for multitude of different sauces which helps. In general you can customize your rice bowl or sushirrito which is a cool touch. I would go again due to the convenience of location as an Emory student but I wouldn't say it's the best or my first go-to option for poke bowls or sushirritos.

I placed a to-go order in person on an early Friday evening. The person who took my order was very patient with my indecision and helped with recommendations. I would have preferred the chipotle-type ordering where you see them building your bowl and there are a million options. But here you order and they prepare it all in the back. I had a basic poke bowl with tuna and salmon as the proteins. It wasn't bad by any means, but also wasn't memorable. Also I thought it was pretty expensive for what you get. I might order from here again but try a sushi burrito or something other than poke.

Boruboru is hands down the best poke bowl location in Atlanta that I've been to. I've gotten a poke bowl here twice and was impressed each time and left craving more. The fish is the best quality fish I've had in any poke bowl, and the toppings are very well seasoned. I think Boruboru has "fancier" toppings than other poke locations, although they do not have as much of a selection. The roasted mushroom is probably my favorite topping and even the flavor seasons the rice well. The avocado is cut in plentiful chunks unlike most places and does not cost an extra fee. The reason for 3 stars, however, is that the prices are outrageous here. Although I guess it is to be expected given the location. But, you're only allowed to pick one protein, 4 veggies, and 1 sauce without paying extra which is a little absurd when ordering a poke bowl. Even some toppings are extra charge, like kale. Some toppings that would be complimentary usually, like masago, fried onions, seaweed salad, etc are part of your veggies that you can only choose 4 from. I find the one sauce to be most ridiculous. In addition, because of the price additions and not wanting to pay extra for more, the burritos are very plain, small, and not worth the money. I got a burrito once and was extremely disappointed. It was so bland and there was hardly anything in there. I couldn't even taste the sauce that I had to dip it in soy sauce for some flavor. Price aside, I do think the quality here is amazing and the best though. It if were more affordable this would be my favorite, and I would be back all the time.

I like Boruboru Sushi. As many times as I've dined here I've found their food to be very consistent. You can get a poke bowl or a sushi burrito. Interior is clean and bright. Love the Industrial yet modern feel inside. You order at the counter and can get your bowls customized or choose one of the options they provide. The portions aren't the largest but the quality is definitely in ingredients and freshness is definitely there. Their yam chips are delicious and wish I could buy them buy the bags. They come out fresh and hot. Location is nice. Tons of available parking in the nearby parking deck on the weeknights. They are located in the same large plaza as General Muir but on the other side near the market. Patience is a virtue as they make each bowl/burrito after you place your order. I don't find the wait time to be unreasonable at all. Also, looks like they added some new menu items (pork buns, fried chicken bite, etc) which I'm thrilled about. I will be back soon!

I love this place!! I consider myself a regular here and even more so since Covid since it's so easy to grab and go. It's one of my favorite to-go restaurants in Decatur :) Boru Boru is known for their sushi burritos and I definitely recommend them! My favorite is the "Muscle Man." They don't skimp on the raw fish inside their burritos which is a bonus. The food and service is consistently on point every time and I will continue to come back :)

If you're looking for sushi with unique flavors and options, I would highly recommend Boruboru! Disclaimer: I did get Uber Eats delivery so I can't speak to the atmosphere of the restaurant itself. I ordered the pork belly sushi burrito on a whim. I would never think to mix pork with sushi ingredients but it worked! It was the perfect mix of Japanese fused with an American style burrito. It was a little bit messy to eat but that wasn't a big deal. I will definitely be ordering from here again and trying some different options!

Tried it and definitely won't try it again. I'm glad I have had amazing ramen because if this was my first time, I would never eat it again. The pork based broth was horrible, while the ramen in its entirety was the most bland thing I've ever tasted! I did enjoy the gyoza, but I do prefer it steamed instead of deep fried. The service was great though, which is why they got 3 stars! Also, they have things on their menu that they no longer carry. I came here initially for bao buns and sushi.... Just a sad experience!

Quick service and various menu options. Make sure to park in the garage and they'll validate your parking. I was satisfied with the rice bowl, and some extra hot sauce added the spicy kick I felt it needed. The tea was a little on the sweet side but flavorful. My friend got the Ramen and endorsed it, but I can't comment on it myself since I didn't try it.

Ep. 3 of AntlantaEats Just throwing it out there to some of you that they have Gluten free, vegan options This was the day I got introduced to a "Sushi Shrimp Burrito"! They give you options to add on. I chose sushi rice, cucumber, light avocado and onion. It taste was delicious. Now my only take away is that's small which means if you love it and will want to buy another ($11-13 more bucks) Here's my experience https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9unz0DS9y/?igshid=wyvl8f9flpsy

In food like a burrito, it can be hard to evaluate the ingredients individually, but let me try. The sushi rice was disappointing since it's not actually vinegared sushi rice. If you're like many Americans, you've never known the real thing so you accept that lukewarm tasteless rice is sushi rice (or we've come to accept that that's normal in America?). So, the "sushi rice" rates as average for America in my book, but objectively low. The albacore tuna is not raw but like a lightly seared tartare. There was a hint of horseradish even though I hadn't indicated it anywhere. The seaweed salad is pretty typical except that it comes on a bed of lettuce. Ordering is like some other "fast casual" places where you write down your choices on a slip of paper. One word of caution - with the make your own option, you can get up to 4 things but you do pay for each one. For some reason I thought it was the same base price and tried to come up with 4 to put in... Overall, this is more of a fun trendy concept rather than a place to get really good sushi. College kids and young adults will likely enjoy it, but if you've got high expectations for sushi, look somewhere else. For what it's worth, this is my first time getting sushi burrito and I saw this place listed as the best sushi burrito in Atlanta somewhere.

Boruboru is a little poke shop at Emory Point that's absolutely adorable, a little overpriced, and also not as generous as I had hoped. The toppings here are severely limited as you have to mark out the toppings you want ahead of time instead of the chipotle whatever you like style. They also aren't generous with the sauce and I had to add soy sauce to my poke for more flavor even though I'm the type to enjoy less seasoned food. On the plus side, the fish and toppings seemed very fresh and the place is very clean and there is plenty of seating. This place is convenient but I personally don't think the food is the best bang for your buck.

The Basics: Boruboru is a sushi burrito and poke bowl restaurant in Atlanta. It is located in Emory Point and there are free parking lots, providing easy access to the restaurant. It is set up where you order at a counter and sit down and wait until your number is called to pick up your food. Things I like: I have loved everything I've ever ordered from Boruboru! I tend to mostly order the Spicy Tuna Sushi Burrito ($11) and have loved it every time. Boruboru has also been increasing the amount of appetizers they serve and I've also enjoyed the Fried Gyoza they have. Between the appetizers and the drinks (beer and sake) they serve, I believe they are trying to increase the numbers of their dinner crowd. Regardless, I appreciate that I often see new small dishes on the menu to try. Things I don't like: Boruboru has a tendency to get very crowded for lunch during weekdays, mostly due to their close proximity to the CDC. They manage the crowds pretty well during this time, but I still try to stick to going to Boruboru for dinner since it's a lot less crowded.

This was my first time trying Boruboru and I ordered an ahi tuna poke bowl via UberEats for ~$20 after taxes/fees (bowl itself is $14.50). When I received my order I was very disappointed to find barely any tuna with tons of rice and cucumbers (see picture). I have been eating poke for years and I'm familiar with the raw fish restaurant industry, and this was simply a bad product. I called the restaurant to report this and was escalated to the manager who explained that he himself made the bowl, that this was standard portions and presentation, and there was nothing he could do. The right thing in this situation is to apologize, offer a refund, and welcome the customer back to the restaurant to try it in person. Instead, I was told that this was standard for the industry. I know from a great deal of experience that this is not the case. So ya'll can be your own judge of whether this bowl is "standard" and worth the high price point, and whether this manager did the right thing. I would recommend some of the other local poke places that offer a greater variety of raw fish options at a similar or lower price and don't suffer in quality. Maybe this place is struggling during the pandemic and while students are off campus. In any case, that doesn't give license to skimp on quality and customer experience. As a result, I will not be returning to support this business going forward.

I came here for lunch on Thursday around 11:30am. It was not super busy, however by 12ish there were a lot if people and a long line. You can get one of the pre-made combinations and make it a burrito or a bowl. I ordered the OC and added salmon to it. If you build your own the price goes up pretty easily. You order at the counter and then they call your number. The OC combination is my favorite. The eel and the poke sauce are both really good with it but I got them in the side. I love the flavors and the shrimp tempura. The portion is pretty big and it comes with avocado and crab meat. The toppings are not the typical at most poke places. I really think this is the best poke in Atlanta. I've had the sushi burritos in the past and they are great too! Overall I recommend this place. Really good poke and the ingredients are fresh!

Boruboru is one of the first sushi burrito and bowl restaurants to open in Atlanta (and the first permanent, non-food-court sushi burrito place). It opened October 17, 2016 at Emory Point, the large mixed-use development across from the CDC on Clifton Rd. Parking is free for the first 3 hours in the Emory Point deck behind the restaurant. The burrito I had at Boruboru was delicious. It's basically like eating a giant maki sushi roll -- fish, rice, and various other ingredients wrapped in nori (seaweed). Along with burritos, you can also get rice and salad bowls. It's somewhat similar to Chipotle, but with sushi ingredients. The concept originated in 2011 in California with Sushirrito in the Bay Area and the Jogasaki food truck in LA. Just like other trendy west coast or northeast brands/concepts, it's made its way to Atlanta. The restaurant is fast-casual with a bright, clean, open design. You stand in line and order up front. Fountain drinks, condiments, napkins, etc. are self-serve and, unlike Chipotle, you do have to wait a few minutes as your order is made. When it's ready, your ticket number is called and you can pick up your tray at the counter. Expect to spend at least $10-13 for each burrito, rice bowl, or salad. Burritos and rice bowls come with the option of brown rice or white sushi rice. Salads come with the option of spring mix or kale (+$1). There are over a dozen house ingredient combinations to choose from which include proteins like octopus, salmon, fried salmon skin, spicy tuna, BBQ eel (unagi), chicken, skirt steak, soft shell crab, and tofu. They also offer poke (Hawaiian raw fish salad). Additionally, you can customize your own burrito, rice bowl, or salad. Most customizations start at $10-12 each with most toppings and sauces each $0.50 extra. If you go the customization route, you fill out a paper menu with a pencil much like you do when ordering sushi at a traditional sushi bar. I tried the Boruboru Style ($12) sushi burrito which came with tuna, masago (fish roe/eggs), macadamia nuts, nori, avocado, pickled red onion, scallion, pickled jalapeno, crispy fried onion, and a "creamy-style" dressing. Boruboru Style is one of the two poke options on the menu. With these options, you can choose salmon, tuna, or octopus as your protein. One of my favorite makizushi is simple tuna maki and the Boruboru Style sushi burrito with tuna was like tuna maki on steroids. It was very good with plenty of fresh fish and ingredients all around. It was a decent-sized burrito, served cut in half, that was satisfying and enjoyable. Packets of soy sauce are available near the fountain machine. I didn't see any wasabi and I think the burrito would've tasted better with some. I also tried the Muscle Man ($13) rice bowl with brown rice, octopus (+$2), spicy tuna, Boruboru chicken, avocado, cucumber, pickled jalapeno, pickled red onion, scallion, spicy mayo, and poke dressing. The Muscle Man is supposed to come with salmon instead of octopus, but the kitchen had run out of salmon when we ordered. I decided to sub in octopus in its place. The bowl was savory and filling. Like the burrito, it was filled with fresh ingredients. Both the octopus and chicken looked and tasted like they were grilled (some noticeable charring). Service was slow. There was only one person taking orders and the line backed up during Saturday dinner service (we came during a peak rush). However, once we got our orders in, they were turned around fairly quick. Chef/owner Mike, manager Kasey, and the rest of the staff are friendly and hospitable. I plan on coming back.

I love Boruboru, it's near my job and was a perfect addition to Emory Point. When you go in you essentially write down/check off your own order and present it to the cashier. They have a list of faves on their standard menu or you can make your own sushi burrito or sushi bow. I typically choose the create your own sushi burrito and it never disappoints. This was my first time trying a sushi burrito and it was pretty good. I love wasabi and you have to ask for it, because it isn't automatically included with the burritos. But, It is POTENT!!!!!! A tiny amount will clear your entire sinus cavity.

I've been eyeing this place waiting for it to open! Boru Boru is located by the Earthfare side of Emory Point and the entrance is on the side of Clifton Road (next to Aladdin's). There is free 3 hr parking in the parking garages either by Tin Lizzy's or by Earthfare. They just opened this week and my friend and I came to try it last night. When you walk in the door, there's a stand where you can pick up an order sheet (similar to which wich) where you can pick either their house bowls/burritos (great for indecisive individuals like myself) or create your own (on the back side of the menu). If you plan to make your own, you start with picking the 'protein', the four sides, and finally the sauce. There is also an option to make this a combo if you want salad/miso soup as sides. I created my own bowl the with the sushi rice bowl with salmon, kale, avocado, roasted mushrooms, and masago with poke dressing (~$11.50 with tax). The salmon was fresh and I loved the generous portions they give on the fish, avocado and masago. The poke dressing was a bit salty/soy saucy for my liking so I might try a different sauce next time. I got to try my friend's spicy tuna which was also delicious. Some of their spicy sauces have different heat levels. The spicy miso was not too spicy but the spicy mayo was decently spicy (Loved the flavor of this one, but I don't recommend it for those who can't eat spicy). When you're finished with your meal, there's a station by the bathrooms where you can toss the trash and turn in the food trays (cafeteria style). I really like how this place is set up. It has a pretty modern look to it and the staff were all very friendly.

Overall Boruboru seems like a solid poke option with some caveats. It is pretty pricey but does have a great variety of veggie options that I haven't seen elsewhere. I've been for a bubble tea and have also had a sushi burrito. The bubble tea was fine but the bobba were very warm. They have an Arnold Palmer bubble tea which looks interesting but no other flavor options from what I can tell. The sushi burrito was a real disappointment. I thought it was very weird that so many of their on-menu options included their Boruboru chicken (rather than only sushi options), but if a restaurant includes it on their signature menu, I want to give it a chance. I didn't enjoy the chicken alongside the fish at all. I took mine to-go and was very disappointed to discover that they forgot the sauce on my burrito. It was so dry that it was actually difficult to eat. It was also poorly rolled and not completely wrapped so it just fell apart. I may go back and try a custom bowl or burrito, but Poke Burri in EAV is still by far the superior poke burrito.

Visiting Emory hospital and wanted something different. Did make your own bowl. Wow! Excellent fresh lunch.

Was excited to try this place. Very close to the conference center, and was able to walk there in less than 10 minutes. The service was good and the establishment is very clean. I ordered a Poké bowl, and was allowed customization which made it fit my tastes. That being said, the prices are high and the soda machine was down. There is an inflation surcharge on each bill, and my lunch for one without drink and with a decent tip was nearly $20. Bring the cheddar for your poke bowl.

yum...definitely recommend trying the salmon skin, it was the perfect amount of crispiness. one of the better poke restaurants in the area

I really liked this restaurant. However, the other day I had put in an online order and found something in my bowl. I was extremely hungry that night and really craving the bowl I got. I did a custom order that included onion straws. Upon taking my first bites, I bit into something really hard. At first I thought it was an overdone onion straw, then upon further inspection, it turned out to be a shard of hard glue or plastic that got covered with onion straw batter. I have heard too many story about people getting sold fake fish and rice, so this really upset me. I stopped eating and went to contact Boruboru. I received no response or follow up. It's been weeks. So, I write this as a warning, they are not being thorough in thekr food prep. And if you do find something, they will not even have the decency to follow up or apologize.

I came here a couple of times when I was in town for a work training across the street. I really enjoy sushi burritos and liked the level of customization we had over it - from the base, protein, veggie ingredients, to the sauce. There's something for everyone. On my first time here, I was carried away by all the options so the staff helped a girl out and I ended up really liking the combination the cashier suggested! The only downside for me was the price. I can understand that customizing anything usually costs more, but the menu items were pretty pricey in general. Other than that, this place a is a pretty solid spot if you're craving sushi burritos in the area.

Delicious, quick, and casual place for sushi burritos and poke bowls! Sushi burritos and poke were a huge staple in DC where I just moved from, so I was excited to find this place near me. My friend and I both got sushi burritos -- the muscle man, and the traditional salmon. Service was quick, and you even have the option of making your own burrito or bowl, or swapping out ingredients in premade menu items. The menu had a wide variety of options, which I was pleasantly surprised by for a small restaurant like this! The burritos were a little pricey (most are between $11-15), but you are definitely paying for the novelty. It's delicious and filling, and there was a good amount of ingredients in my burrito! Overall, a good place for quick eats, casual dining, or even getting lunch to-go. This is no fancy sushi restaurant, but great for a casual lunch. Next time, I would be sure to check out the poke bowls, and some of their appetizers as well.

Love this place! I pick up food here almost every week as my go to work from home lunch or dinner. Fish is always fresh and the bowl ingredients and sauces are great. I always get the boruboru style bowl. My pick up orders are always ready within 20 minutes. Staff is friendly as well.

First time there today, food was amazing!!! I had the OC as I don't eat raw food and couldn't have had a better choice. The tea drinks are awesome as well. Service was great also!

First of all, happy (belated) first anniversary to Boruboru Sushi! Since their doors opened over a year ago in 2016, the hubs and I have dined at Boruboru numerous times, and we have always enjoyed everything we've tried! We've also tried other poké joints after the craze hit Atlanta, but we consistently agree that the quality and taste of Boruboru's fish exceeds that of its competitors. The fish at Boruboru is always fresh and delicious, and the appetizers/sides perfectly accompany our meal whether we choose a sushi burrito or poké bowl. Below is just a short list of the menu items I've had at Boruboru. | Appetizers | * Takoyaki (fried octopus balls with BBQ sauce) - If you're a fan of octopus, you'll love Boruboru's Takoyaki! They're just as good as, if not better than, the ones I've had at Japanese restaurants! * Pork Belly Bun - The steamed bun includes a slice of pork belly, pickled red onion, cilantro, hoisin sauce, and peanuts. I enjoy mine without the cilantro. * Poké Puffs (limited time) - These were offered for a limited time, and they were super tasty! The puffs were almost like hollow tortilla chips, and you stuff them with a poké mixture. So good! | Sides | * Sweet Fried Yam Disks - The round, deep-fried yam slices are really good alone but even better dipped in spicy mayo or any of their other homemade sauces! Yes, I am a sauce lover and Boruboru's sauces are great! I highly recommend the yam disks! * Lotus Chips - These chips are light, crispy, and tasty! | Entrees | * Spicy Tuna Sushi Burrito - This is my absolute favorite sushi burrito which includes spicy tuna, jicama, avocado, mango, crispy fried onion, and spicy mayo. The jicama and mango are refreshing and unique toppings, and I love the crispy fried onions! * Muscle Man Sushi Bowl - I order mine with spicy tuna, Boruboru chicken, and albacore (instead of salmon). The bowl also includes avocado, cucumber, pickled jalapeno, pickled red onion, scallions, spicy mayo, and poké dressing. * Shoyu Style Tuna Poké Bowl - I always choose tuna as the protein, and the bowl includes cucumber, avocado, pickled red onion, crispy fried onion, pickled jalapeno, scallions, edamame, poké dressing, and sesame oil. This is the poke bowl to order if you prefer a soy sauce-based dressing and don't want a creamy sauce. You can "Create Your Own Boruboru" by choosing your base (bowl or burrito), protein, veggie toppings, and sauce, but I always choose one of their signature entrees because they are so good! The portion sizes (both the sushi burritos and bowls) are generous, and I also love that Boruboru actually uses sushi rice as opposed to plain rice in their sushi burritos and poké bowls. The sushi rice makes a huge difference and makes the meal much more delicious! Boruboru's staff, Manager Casey, and Chef Rome are always friendly, and the restaurant - including the restrooms - is always immaculate! I envy the Emory students and CDC employees who are able to dine here often since the location is so convenient for them! Overall, Boruboru Sushi Burrito + Bowl gets 5 stars for being my favorite sushi burrito and poké restaurant in Atlanta! The hubs and I will continue to drive out of our way to Emory Point when we want some delicious sushi burritos or poké bowls, and we hope that Boruboru continues to be successful in 2018 - and beyond!

This place was pretty busy during lunch on a weekday. You can park at the deck for free for the first 2 hours! I ordered the salmon shoyu style poke bowl. It was delicious ! It was $13 and I felt so full when I finished it. If you're shy about what to order I feel like the salmon shoyu style is a good go-to option. You can have tuna instead if you prefer, but salmon is my favorite. It has avocado and fried onion pieces sprinkled on top to add some crunch. And there was definitely a kick with each bite with the wasabi spread through out. I say give it a good mix and take a huge bite! You will love it! What's great about eating a dish like this is that I didn't feel guilty for stuffing my face because it's all healthy. Can't wait to go back!

The food here was delicious! It's pretty much a sushi in a bowl. The meal is very filling. Everything is fresh. Even though we thoroughly enjoyed the food, we REALLY enjoyed the customer service. Asaaa (spelling?) Was fantastic. He greeted us with such kindness, helped us with the menu, and explained what the concept was about. Check this place out. You will not be dissapointed!

Love this place. I always get the same thing and it's consistent and delicious. The Caveman, it's so good! The staff are always friendly and the service is quick. This is a regular lunch spot for me
