Hotto Hotto Ramen & Teppanyaki

Unfortunately this restaurant was one of the biggest disappointments. Food wasn’t very good and service was friendly but not quick. Our spicy chicken karaage didn’t taste very “made from scratch” at all - tasted like frozen packaged karaage that was drowned in a sweet spicy sauce. Too salty for our taste but was probably the best thing we had today. Hotto tonkotsu ramen noodles were overcooked (more about this later) with a very bland flavor and not plated with any care at all. Where was the garlic tare we see in pictures? The roasted seaweed was completely soggy when we got the ramen as well. Omurice - well, at least the rice was half decent. The egg had a few crunchy bits which I assume were egg shells. The “spicy mayo” didn’t taste like spicy mayo at all, more of a sweet yuzu jam. The plates we were given for our appetizers had black dusty bits all over it which put us off as well. We also witnessed a waitress peeling eggs while eating her food and coughing using her personal phone (no gloves or hand washing in between). This put us off big time. We witnessed my wife’s ramen being ready and sitting under a hot lamp for 5 minutes until my omurice was ready which lead to overcooked noodles and soggy seaweed. We took a few bites of our mains and took it home (unfortunately we won’t be eating them). Hopefully this is a one-off experience for us and everyone else has better experiences here.

Recommended by a friend, we decided to give it a try. Wow! The bao buns were amazing. We also enjoyed pork potstickers and ramen. The spicy shaved ribeye ramen bowl was delicious. Our server, Dana helped us to make our first visit choices. The atmosphere is very artsy and upbeat. I highly recommend.

This is my first ever review because my wife and I absolutely loved this place and we’ll definitely be coming back. They were very accommodating to some allergies and the food was served very promptly. Really attentive and the service was truly great. I highly recommend the pork fried rice and the spicy thinly sliced ribeye (brothless) ramen. These pictures don’t do it justice!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Outstanding Service from Matthew! I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Matthew during my recent visit to Hotto Hotto, and I can honestly say he made the entire dining experience exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we were seated, Matthew was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. He took the time to walk us through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made sure every detail of our order was just right. His timing was perfect—always there when we needed something but never intrusive. What really stood out was his genuine enthusiasm for the food and the restaurant itself. You can tell Matthew truly enjoys what he does. He even checked in mid-meal to make sure everything was to our liking (it was more than that—it was delicious!), and when we asked for extra spice and a couple of substitutions, he handled it with ease and a smile. The vibe at Hotto Hotto is already great—cozy, flavorful, and full of energy—but Matthew elevated it even more with his professionalism and charisma. It’s rare to find service that feels both friendly and flawless, but Matthew nails it. If you’re dining at Hotto Hotto, do yourself a favor and ask for Matthew. He’s a standout in hospitality and made our meal one to remember. Can’t wait to come back!

This place and especially the food is always great and really yummy. We had Ramen soup and a fried rice, they make delicious cocktails too that you can sip outside at the bar or at your table. The staff is very friendly and nice. When you go there you definitely have to try their Ramen soups. The portions are huge so you can always take the rest home for a next day lunch.

OMG, this Ramen was so good. We also got appetizers, the dumplings were impeccable! Make sure you order them! And dessert was everything just amazing. Chefs Kiss! I would highly recommend it was a great price rate as well 10/10.

Hotto Hotto offers a delightful and authentic dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you're transported with the decor and ambiance. The food is flavorful, the service is attentive, and the overall value is excellent. The red snapper, the freshness of the fish, combined with the simple yet flavorful accompaniments, makes for a satisfying and wholesome meal! Loved our drinks made by Liana!

I love the atmosphere, the superb service, the delicious cuisine! Oh my! I could visit weekly! My waitress helped me select a yummy, fresh salad, since I am a raw foodist! I will definitely return!

Great tonkotsu ramen and seaweed salad. Jeremy was super friendly and provided great service! Highly recommend for getting your fix of ramen

Today was my treat yourself day and I was on the quest for something familiar but at a new spot, which led me to try ramen but with gluten free noodles. I came at lunch so service wasn't too bad. However, there 1 one front house staff, 1 cook, and 1 person I guess bringing out the food. My wait time was longer than I expected being that the restaurant wasn't crowded but I could also chalk that up to being hungry and impatient. The vibes of the restaurant were nice and with nice views. After a thorough review of the menu, I came for ramen so I wanted to try the ramen, but with gluten free noodles of course. The curry seafood ramen is very flavorful! Everything I imagined so I highly recommend. However, the noodles were bland and for the cost of the dish, I did not appreciate the fact I got 3 jumbo shrimp and 3 mussels. Overall, I would recommend but if you need gluten free, I do not recommend the noodles. If you have a good gluten free ramen place, please inbox me :)

I enjoy the Curry Vegan Ramen and order it a lot. It has great flavor and the ingredients are fresh!

Stumbled upon this place as I was actually planning on dining at a nearby spot that was too packed. Lucky me, Hotto Hotto was right next door! It was a super hot day so we initially didn't plan on eating here simply because of the weather, and being on the hunt for what we considered "refreshing". Well, we got that and more by choosing to dine here instead. There were only a few others in the restaurant when we visited one Sunday afternoon, but I loved how they had the windows and doors opened, allowing the sunshine to flow in. (Also the flies, but that's life lol) We were quickly seated and I chose a table in the corner with the sun. (I wanted lunch al fresco but with ac). Our waitress was super patient and even told me her personal faves when I couldn't figure out what I wanted because everything sounded really delicious or too hot for me on that day. My partner opted for a big bowl of ramen (on that hot af day, omg) and I went for the brothless shaved ribeye ramen as recommended by our waitress. Our food came out in minutes, but was obviously fresh so major love to the kitchen. I feel like before I could look up, his ramen was gone so I'm going to say that he enjoyed. My dish was delicious! The ribeye was so flavorful, with hints of sweet and savory all in one. The cucumbers were a refreshing pairing and the noodles were on point. I think I could have only wished to have some spicy sauce on it, but I always want some extra spice. The portion was so generous as well, I'm absolutely returning to have another bowl!

First time. First impression. Nice looking place with indoor and outdoor options. It wasn't a great day so we chose to hang inside. No menu, you have to scroll on your phone through a very long menu, I hate that $#!+!!! I didn't come to a restaurant to play on my phone. Our server was pleasant but kept hanging out in the back so she was never available when we wanted her. Asian Sesame Coleslaw: very good Seaweed Salad: excellent! Vegan Pot Stickers: nothing spectacular but they hit the spot Limoncello Cake: to die for! We have returned since.

Really enjoyed this ramen place near the beltline. Lots of vegan options. Everything was super tasty. One of the best ramen we've had in Atlanta.

We waited over 15 minutes before my husband asked if we should sit ourselves. We waited 45 minutes for water and decided to walk out before other restaurants closed in 50 minutes. Very bad service. We had a hungry child with us. Our water cup came out dirty with particles floating inside of them. We've been looking forward to trying this restaurant and we were very disappointed.

Phenomenal experience. Came with a group of 3 on Saturday afternoon and were able to be seated right away. Our server Cici was friendly and helpful. they helped me decide on the pork belly fried rice and it was extraordinary. I could barely put my fork down! Great flavors and portion size. I also tried my friends chicken dumplings and they were great as well. I can't wait to come back and try other dishes! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options too

So lean in... I have a confession... Hubby and I ate HOTTO HOTTO two days in a row. Yesterday I was feeling like I needed some comfort food. We ordered take out from here. Today after cycling I was in need of something great and we ended up back here. Service is always top tier. Our waiter was super nice and helpful. He made suggestions and was attentive. The atmosphere was bright and a bit noisy... but not loud enough to interfere with conversation. The food was fresh and came out quickly. I got shrimp fried rice... and my hubby got chicken fried rice. The portions were large and super flavorful. I HIGHLY recommend... and definitely will be back. Parking is available road side or in a small lot on the side. Do your tastebuds a favor and check 'em out!

YUM! How awesome is this gem in Grant Park! I ordered the cucumber salad, veggie spring rolls & pork pot stickers...none of it disappointed! Will be headed back to this place again and again!

Ian was an amazing bartender and gave great feedback on drink options and even mentioned Atlanta's go-to shopping spots when I asked. Very personable with each customer who stopped by. I appreciated their welcoming and pleasant attitude, Ian. He made this experience a 5-star. There was a cute outside patio bar where I sat. It wasn't the most beautiful and sunny day, but decent. I wanted to try something different, so I ordered a sake-based sparkling jelly drink. Ikezo Sake drink reminded me of boozy boba tea with a fizzy sparkle. A different semi-sweet than what I usually order. It was different and very good.

Overall the food was pretty good. The problem was the wait time for food. We were waiting for food for about 45minutes before our appetizer came and then another 30min for the main course. The waitress was cool and she checked on us a few times but failed to mention anything about why the food was taking so long. The restaurant wasn't specially decorated but it was nice. if you want a good flavorful dish order the ribeye ramen.

For anyone who loves seasoned cucumbers, you will really enjoy these. They can sometimes be a little sweet but as long as they aren't too heavy handed with it, it's really good. Their drinks are also good and they have a nice 360 bar that offers both in and out door seating. I gotta be honest, I only get the broth-less ribeye roman, it made me a regular customer! I highly recommend. The service is great too :).

Hands down the worst ramen I've ever had in my life. I'm not even trying to be funny when I say that I'd rather have cup ramen. I took one sip of the broth and it tasted gamey and super salty. Of the 5 people that also ordered from here, 4/5 also said that it was a bad meal. We ordered takeout and despite the restaurant not being busy, my food was 15 minutes late. The guy in the kitchen was cooking things once at a time even though he had this whole griddle, and the kid packing the to-go boxes was not all there. Floors were disgustingly sticky. Wanted to try this place because it had decent ratings but yall must not know what ramen is supposed to taste like because this place is a 0/10 for me - and I have low expectations. For reference, here are places of similar price points that I think have good ramen (note: not all are in ATL): Ramen Tatsuya, Jinya Ramen

I dont know what happened here. Weve been to this place a few times and it was good, but not anything particularly noteworthy. We went last night and both my chicken curry ramen and my wifes spicy vegan ramen were PHENOMENAL. As in, one of the best things weve ever had in the city. Really really good. The service was also great. I almost don't want to jinx this, but i feel obligated to give it a shout. (For ambience, it's a chill, family friendly casual restaurant).

I happened to be in the area and was referred by a friend to check this spot out. It was on a Tuesday evening, near closing time so it was pretty empty. I just want to start off by saying this by far has been the best ramen spot I've been to. I don't know if it was because I was starving prior to arriving to the restaurant or the food was actually really that good! I started with the calamari which was beyond amazing. It wasn't dry and it wasn't too crispy it was damn near perfect. With the dipping sauce too, chef kiss. For the main I had the spicy seafood ramen with broth.I also requested the spicy sauce for spice. Another amazing dish! The mussels, the shrimp, everything was so good. My friend ordered the spicy shaved ribeye (no broth) which was also good! I'm actually going back today to take my brother since he love ramen. So yeah...highly rec.

I had high hopes for the place since it's so close to home. However, the ramen is pretty bad. I've had better ramen out of a package from the local Publix. Service is slow and prices are high. Not even worth taking home as leftovers. Would not recommend.

Tried Hotto Hotto for the first time last night. Wow, I was missing out. My friend and I both ordered Vegan Ramen. She got the creamy ramen and I got the curry. They both had fresh mushrooms, greens, noodles, corn, onions and tofu. Neither dishes were too salty which is my biggest pet peeve with ramen. Perfectly seasoned and really, really good. We will be back very soon to try some other dishes. Good craft beer selection as well which is always a plus.

I eat a lot of ramen, and this was absolutely next level. Got the spicy miso and it was transcendent. Staff were beyond lovely, and you the spot can't be beat. Get there early and you can pull up a chair and eat at the bar while still outside? C'mon, do yourself a favor and go.

Food is amazing ‍, The service is very slow!! I've been over 10 times and only 2 of those times my food came quickly.. almost walked out about 4 times. Great food tho!!

Amazing food, great service. Shout out to Nate for great customer service and knowledge of the menu. The entire atmosphere of this place is so chill that it makes eating here peaceful and enjoyable. The food is very filling and delectable. My girlfriend and I will definitely be back with more people in the future.

First of all - my lack of stars have NOTHING to do with service. My waitress was attentive and friendly and helpful the entire time. Parking was convenient and the overall setting was modern and cool. The ramen - this aint it. I dont know where these other reviewers have been eating, but this NOT good ramen. Beyond basic and somewhat salty. Just wack. The edamame was good. Lots of sesame for a diff flavor. Margarita was strong but again, very basic. I wouldn't return here for a fix of a ramen craving.

The service is okay, I would say there's only one server who runs the bar and the tables so it's hard to have them give you any attention. The food is great I'm presentation but taste not so much. There is an off putting amount of sweetness in ramen and all their sauces. This is true across stir fry/ fried rice. Ordered a couple of apps and couldn't say I liked any of them either. The ambiance is great and the location can be seen from regular traffic. I wouldn't recommend it if your looking for authentic ramen tried their Pot Stickers, Vegan Ramen, Fries, Fried rice, and spring rolls. I had a lot of hope but alas.

OMG 10/10 for meeee! The customer service TOP TIER, not crowded at all ( went on a Wednesday) nice area, and the food was sooooo flavorful!! We were in the mood for mocktails and they were fire as well! This place deserves 5 stars

The food tasted good, but there was always an issue getting it. At visit: 1: We waited outside the restaurant for about 15 minutes before their stated opening time of noon. They saw us, but said nothing. At 12:10 we asked when they'd open and then said they were running late, they'll open at 12:30. We went to the restaurant next door. 2: I ordered online with Toast for pickup. The food was OK. 3: I ordered online, the order was wrong but it still wasn't bad. 4. I ordered online for a 2:20 pickup, but got a text at 2:00 that it was ready so I rushed over to pick it up (so the food wouldn't get soggy). When I opened the bag, I saw it had eggs (I asked for them to be omitted and the receipt noted that) plus 2 drinks were missing. I immediately called and let them know, they asked me to come back and get them. I told them that wasn't possible and I wanted a credit -- rep had no apology and told me they didn't know how to do that and had to call the owner. By 5pm there was no call back so I called. The rep old told me they couldn't do it without the owner...both times I called there was no apology or offer of help. At 6pm I took out the what was left over from my 2pm order and bit down on a hard object -- there was a rock in the noodles. I will never order from this place again!

One of the best ramen places in Atlanta and only a short walk from the BeltLine! Our server (Nick) was super nice and attentive. He made us feel comfortable and taken care of. Lots of seating, cute decor, and a clean bar. It's part of a trendy area with bars and shops nearby. We thought the seasoning on the edamame was good. The hotto tonkotsu ramen was rich and creamy. I especially liked the curry chicken ramen. I'm always interested in plant-based options so I really appreciate that they have vegan potstickers and ramens. Hope to come back and try the other fusion ramens!

Alright Hotto Hotto, some time had passed and I decided to give your spot a second chance. I held my breath walking in hoping I had not made the wrong decision. I am happy to say that I am glad I did give HH another chance. My partner told me about a meal he ate from HH (thank the Mastodon/WES guys) and how delicious it was. He couldn't believe it was the same spot we had such a bad experience at. So basically for the past year+ he's been slowly wearing me down. On this occasion we had just left my grandmother's funeral fairly nearby and had my sister in from out of town. We wanted to take her to eat something she couldn't eat in SSI. So we decided HH was the spot. Everything we ordered was delicious. Honestly a lot of the menu options looked different than my last visit. My sister ordered one of the specialty cocktails and loved it. The service was really good. It seemed like there was only one or two servers working but they were cool as cucumbers and didn't keep anyone waiting. I'm glad my partner made me give this spot another chance. My sister talked about her meal for several days afterwards. I'm certain she'll also want to return when she visits again. Thanks Hotto Hotto for a good experience on a tough day.

I am forever ruined for Ramen because this family-run restaurant sets the bar for exceptional food and service. We ended up at Hotto Hotto later on a weekday evening and the tables were all filled. The owner rushed around and set up a table and chairs right in front of the restaurant, grabbing the chairs himself and making sure we were all comfortable. The food was as exceptional as the service. My daughter's family are regulars here and I certainly see why. I ordered the spicy chicken curry ramen and it was intensely flavorful and so comforting. The eggs were soft-boiled to perfection and the broth was so good I can't stop thinking about it. If we lived in the neighborhood I'd make this a weekly stop. Come for dinner and then take a walk on the beltline. You'll have a perfect evening.

The place was not crowded and you had to seat yourself. My drink was good I guess on the average price range. I didn't like the ramen and had to ask for chili oil to help elevate the flavor. I've had better ramen and the egg was kind of gross and I thought the ramen was pricey compared to other places I've been. The server was nice and helpful.

So delicious! I stumbled across this ramen place when looking through Uber eats. I looked up the reviews and realized it is a hidden gem! I got the sticky sesame fries - which were good. They were not what I had expected - they were thicker straight fries cooked in a greasy oil covered with sesame seeds, they were more on the soggy side which I didn't love. It was an interesting choice and I ate some of them but would opt for a different appetizer next time. For my main course I got the bbq pork broth less ramen, and this was amazing! The noodles were thicker, with no broth, green onions, cucumbers, one hard boiled egg and bbq pork slices. Full of flavor but not overwhelming, I loved it and would definitely order it again. After ordering this restaurant on UberEats, I cant wait to see the restaurant in person!

Server was good and tried hard. But food took 45 min, and when it arrived my ramen smelled bad, something was definitely off with one or more of the ingredients. Won't ever eat here again.

So, I am a huge ramen lover. I mostly get spicy miso ramen. This place had the absolute worst ramen I have ever had. It lacked all flavor. It tasted like oily water and hot sauce. I sent it back and didn't order anything else. The color was off. It was damn near clear and I stirred it several times. The manager told me the chef approves every dish with fresh ingredients. Yeah okay. I'll stick to Jinya and Yakatori Jenbai.

Curry ramen excellent dish. First time dinning there and I would say I enjoyed it. This is coming from a person who isn't big on ramen

Had a taste for ramen and looked up a few locations that ended me in this area. Service was quick and efficient. Suggestions the bartender Made were good. Would recommend

Good and service were good. The curry seafood Ramen bowl Was delicious. Nice location and cute place.

By far the BEST VEGAN RAMEN EVER! Finding good ramen is hard when you're not in Japan (home sweet home) but finding good VEGAN ramen is even harder to find. This place did not disappoint it actually went above and beyond my expectations! We tried the curry vegan and the spicy miso vegan but both were super delish! We also tried the cabbage wraps and the vegan potstickers. Both were super delicious! We can't wait to come back. Now we have a ramen joint in Atlanta our new home and I'm super stoked!!! And did I mention the staff? Omg super friendly and super great customer service! We had two dogs that were in a stroller and we were going to sit outside but it was a cold day and the heater were not working outside. The two that was working was already been taken and the sun was settling so they allowed us to come in with our stroller. We did settle in away from the rest of the people to be considerate but I thought that was such a sweet gesture! Thank you!

Convenient and tasty neighborhood restaurant. I usually come here after work and grab a drink at their outdoor bar seating and order some appetizers. The pork potstickers and spicy chicken dumplings never fail to impress. The owner is sometimes around and always makes sure the service is on point. Overall great local spot and highly recommended!

Not open 30 min after advertised schedule online and on the door. Gentleman at bar said it would be another 30-45 min before kitchen was ready to take orders. Just say you open at 2pm instead of 12pm.

This ramen place is mediocre at its best. I've dined here a few times and service is always super slow. Tonight, we decided to order our food for takeout. I do want to give them credit since our food was ready within 15 mins of ordering even though the expected time our order will be ready is 30 mins. I got the vegan ramen which was decent, nothing notable. Noodles had a nice chew and broth was flavorful but I felt as if they were skimpy with the toppings. I do like their chili oil here - it's nice and spicy with a kick that will for sure make you reach for a drink.

January 9, 2020 I've passed by Hotto Hotto many times and knew one day things would click. Weather was chilly and a hot ramen bowl sounded about right. I ordered the Zha Jiang Ramen with a very unique beer to wash it down. The ramen were not in a broth but thick noodles smothered with ground chicken in a saucy black bean sauce. Yum. The beer was from Kyoto Japan and dubbed the first Japanese style IPA made with matcha. Well the first few sips were palatable but this was kind of like drinking an a kombucha with a heavy not of malt. At 8.5% ABV it was definitely a contender amongst the IPA class. The beer was $14 which is about double what a draft costs, but it is unique. Definitely a hit for St Patrick's day. We arrived shortly after opening hours and so no one else was here. We had excellent service. We will come back again to taste some of the other dishes.

Our favorite ramen spot so far and we drive from Fayetteville to have it! The ramen is great! The service is great! The atmosphere is GREAT! We usually sit at the outside bar area.

The messy fries and any of the ramen choices. Fully stocked bar and they make a great old fashion. The have seating outside at a table or the bar.

This place was great!! The vibe was wonderful, service was exceptional and the food was outstanding. Was not expecting such a great restaurant in the southern part of downtown. I had the wonton ramen and it was awesome!!! I'll most definitely be back.

I do not recommend this place. Service was horrible and the little food we got was burned. My husband and I went in at around 530-545 on a Sunday night. There were maybe six other tables occupied. It took 10-15 minutes before we were even acknowledged. We immediately put in our order for pot stickers and 2 bowls of ramen. After 45 minutes of waiting our pot stickers arrived and they were burned. We did eat them and they were mediocre to say the least. Dipping sauce was very bland. We waited another 20 minutes and still no ramen. Our waitress didn't check in on us once and we had to flag her down to finally get her attention. We ended up canceling our order and the manager said it was because they were slammed with to go orders. Mind you, we sat by the to go order door and saw one person come in and wait over thirty minutes for their order. This was probably one of our worst dining experiences we've had in the city ever. So disappointing.

One word: SALTY! Inedible due to saltiness of spicy ramen dish. Spring roll were tasty; hence the 1 star vs 0 stars

Ian, the bartender, was exceptional and provided excellent drink recommendations while also offering insight into Atlanta's popular shopping destinations. His welcoming and amiable demeanor towards customers added to the overall 5-star experience. I enjoyed sitting on the charming outside patio bar despite the mediocre weather. In an effort to try something new, I opted for the Ikezo Sake drink, a sparkling jelly drink with a sake base. The drink had a fizzy sparkle and resembled boozy boba tea with a semi-sweet taste, which differed from my usual preferences. Overall, it was a unique and delectable drink.

This restaurant was really nice. I just had one ramen and it was great and HUGE. Really recommended it. The only reason that I can't give the 5 stars it's because it took 45 minutes (I counted). Hopefully it's not always like that. I'd go again tho, just with a snack hahaha

The service is super friendly but a bit slow. If you love ramen, you gotta try it. I highly recommend the wings too.

We had the honey roasted Asian BBQ Char Siu and it was not whole pieces of meat, but chopped up it tiny bits like we were children. It was good however it did not look like the picture. We had the Spicy Seafood Ramen, it was good but the Shrimp fried rice was HORRIBLE!!! Paid too much money for it not to be good. The African American gentleman who took my to go order was FANTASTIC and friendly! He was great!!

Came to Atlanta for a weekend trip, and was really craving Asian food. We ended up coming here because it was close by our hotel! First impression: The area this building is in is so nice! I loved the area actually, and the restaurant was super nice inside and out as well! Service: The owner of the restaurant greeted us! He was super nice and friendly. Our waitress was okay, she seemed uninterested and unbothered, but did her job, so it was fun. Food: I will say that this isn't the most outstanding ramen I have ever had, HOWEVER, it's way better than a few I've been to. It was pretty good and I would definitely order it again if I was in the area. If your in the area or visiting, definitely come try out this place and see what you think!
