Hiro Ramen & Tea Bar - Atlanta, Georgia

Our favorites dishes were the 2 starters, which got served last for some reason. The salmon roses & yellowtail carpaccio were off the chart. The 2 ramens were average, but the sliced pork was excellent - smoky, tasty, melt in your mouth. The volcano ramen was really spicy, beware. The black garlic ramen was garlicky, perfect. Noodle was on the soft side. I prefer chewy. The rice with sliced pork was very good, again the star is the pork. The 2 rolls, spider & shrimp tempura with grilled eel were average. Portions are large, especially the raw sliced fishes - thicker than most. Prices ok & the dinning area is misleading - 2 separate areas. Service was sufficient & friendly. Will definitely be back for more starters. Almost forgot, the mixed tempura was on the hard crunchy side. I prefer the light & crunchy with the flakes on the batter. Each place makes them differently.

Ordered the Volcano Ramen and Takoyaki. The Takoyaki was great, while it’s hard to mess up Takoyaki, these were just like I like them, hot, crispy exterior, gooey interior, and with dancing Benito flakes. The ramen broth was bold and creamy, the noodles were the perfect al dente, the egg was perfect with a barely runny yoke. Only complaint was the pork was Very thin; also the menu claimed it was 🌶️🌶️🌶️, but I had to add a good heap of chili oil to get some heat. Overall, best ramen I’ve had in a while. Will definitely be back!

Overall had a good experience. Our party of seven were seated immediately. Our servers were polite and nice. This is their second day of opening so there were some things that they couldn’t accommodate (ex. they didn’t serve any sushi, etc.). Chicken ramen was actually pretty good and so was their gyoza. I liked that it wasn’t overly fried like other places. Their piña colada smoothie was overly sweet to me but my kids enjoyed it. The chicken skewers was excellently seasoned. The edamame was unremarkable but decent. The noodles were tasty. The boba in the tea was a little hard and stale. Overall we all enjoyed our meals and would recommend that other patrons give it a try.

This was me and my husbands first time and we loved it!!!! I had a strawberry tea and added the peach bubbles to it. We also had the beef pot stickers, fried crispy California roll, and hibachi. Everything was really good! The servers English is very broken so be patient with them, they are nice people.

10/10! Everything we tried was delicious, and the eggs and pork belly were amazing. I especially liked the green tea. The ramen itself was very filling, and I liked the more classic pork broth on the Tonkotsu ramen as well as the seafood broth in the Tsukemen ramen. They also have a build-your-own option. The interior of the shop was very nice, and the waitresses were very kind. There’s a lot of parking in front of the shop as well. I can’t wait to come back and try the tea bar next door!

TL/DR: Anti-Blackness, inconsistent response to requests; bland food. Avoid if you can. Ok so- friend and I were really excited to try this place. Ordered 3 sushi plates, edemame, and hibachi. Edemame was decent. The California and firecracker roll were fine. The hibachi was not hibachi (see photo) , and the crispy bagel roll was nasty. We each ate a roll and left the rest on the plate. Now it’s not their fault we felt adventurous but when we politely asked for them to exchange it because we didn’t like the taste, the manager told us “we’re not a tasting restaurant” 😂 😂 Strangely, she agreed to take the hibachi off our tab but not the bagel roll. They wouldn’t come check on us after that so we had to walk to the register area and get our own to-go plates. We paid our tab and left. It looks like other reviews have touched on how the quality of the food and service has gone down and we wish we’d read through it before sitting down. Update: 😬 the manager’s response is….forceful. The way they respond to non Black customers who are dissatisfied or don’t respond at all is telling. It’s feeling a bit anti-black over here. Just to clarify, we had 3 sushi orders and only asked to exchange one. Even though they literally had just taken off the hibachi because it didn’t “suit our taste” they refused to exchange the bagel roll, so we *asked* - not demanded - for a refund. When they refused we paid and left the plate 90% uneaten. This place is not worth the headache.

I went here for the first time and enjoyed my Black Garlic Tonkatsu ramen bowl. The veggies spring rolls were nothing special. They were also out of the Ginger Pork appetizer. (Apparently, there’s a lot of change happening here- especially on the menu. They are the new owners.) I’ll give it another few weeks before I come back but I will be back. HIGHS: Flavorful yummy broth, plated beautifully, tasty pork and veggies. I didn’t expect to like bamboo shoots in ramen as much I enjoyed it here. LOWS: Menu is changing so some items weren’t available, veggie spring rolls should’ve been cooked longer to ensure thorough crispness. NEXT TIME? Yes I’d eat here again and will consider the tea selection!

Lovely new eateries in Decatur area. Ramen is fresh and tasty. Definitely coming back to try more. Tea bar is next door and their boba drink is so 👍 good. Totally recommend!😍👍👍
