Lifting Noodles Ramen

came in around lunchtime (12 PM) with my four-year-old son, and unfortunately, the customer service was extremely rude and unwelcoming. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt hostile. Instead of asking if we wanted to dine in, they immediately asked if we were doing takeout or pickup…as if dining in wasn’t even an option. The restaurant was completely empty, yet no one offered us a drink or came to take our order for several minutes. When they finally did, I still tried to be polite because I didn’t want any confrontation, but the whole experience felt cold and dismissive. When the bill came, I was shocked to see an 18% charge for a “large party.” I asked the server how that made sense since it was only my son and me sharing one bowl of ramen. He said it was a “tip” but refused to correct it or label it properly as gratuity. (I usually tip servers great! He doesn’t know that.So, Maybe he felt like he wasn’t going to get a tip because of his rude customer service. Therefore he stole the tip) What really hurt me most was that I couldn’t help but notice how differently we were treated compared to everyone else who came in after us. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a Black woman, but it seemed obvious. Everyone else, who happened to be of other races, was greeted warmly, immediately seated, and offered drinks right away. As my son and I sat and ate, I watched this happen again and again. It honestly broke my heart and made me feel out of place and unwelcome. Like I said before, I should’ve left, but I tried to be understanding and give them a chance. I really regret that decision. The experience was terrible, and the food definitely didn’t make up for it. The only good thing was it was affordable. I hope management or the Owner takes this seriously, because no one deserves to feel uncomfortable or treated differently when simply trying to enjoy a meal with their child.

This location in PH'EAST offers a nice dining option in the Battery. The service was very pleasant. I ordered the tonkotsu "black," ramen in pork broth with chasu pork, assorted vegetables, and dressed in a flavorful garlic oil. You are able to specify the level of spiciness on a scale of 10. The 5 was perfect for me. The bowl was beautifully presented. The food hall was doing a brisk business, and seating was ample for such a busy day. I highly recommend Lifting Noodles Ramen!

This place is great however that is usually only if Neil is working. We eat here all the time and the issue is that if he is not working the effort put into the food is slack. Broth does not have any flavor, fatty meats are given instead of decent cuts. Presentation is done with little to no effort. Save your money if you go there and Neil is not working!!!! If the staff upheld Neil’s standards this place would be the one to beat!

Didn’t get to eat the ramen, long piece of hair was found embedded in my noodles, faulty and dusty packaging, lint was wrapped around the loops of the bag, dust was seen in the styrofoam where the spring rolls was packed in, the sauce spilled all in the bag before I even walked out the door, I got the seafood ramen and veggie spring roll, the spring roll was okay but I ordered for the ramen and couldn’t even eat it cuz the long peace of hair turned me all the way off. I tried calling the store to see if I can get the ramen remade or a refund but they sent me to voicemail, I left a voicemail but I don’t think they’re gonna get back to me. I will be stopping by after work to bring the food back and get a refund I hope all goes well

Delicious ramen that certainly surpasses the options in many states. Light Noodles Ramen was a pleasant surprise and we visited for the second day today.

Decent Ramen.. Am I running back kicking and screaming for it. Eh but it had a good taste. In a cool food Hall and prices are ok. Worth trying

I tried to order here after having a great time at the battery and Ph’East. As I walked up to the counter, read the menu and tired to order, no one was present. I saw someone in the back and tried to get their attention. To no avail, I started looking for other places to dine. I then spoke a bit louder to try to get the persons attention. The woman then noticed me and said “we are on break”…. The time is 7:00pm on and Sunday..!I’ve never experienced this at this establishment as this is a “food hall” type environment. I was so taken back that I ordered from somewhere else. Lifting Noodles Ramen, you have lost several customers . Just RUDE

I am not sure how this place has 4 stars but I did not have a 4 star experience. The young lady that took my order stared at me like she was lost until it dawned on her that I wanted order. I ordered the chicken ramen and when I got it home it was really gross. The chicken was brown, I thought they made a mistake and gave me beef! The food was a bowl full of salt, I couldn’t eat 2 bites. I went to get something to help with me being sick but that was unbearable.

So this is in the battery in a food hall that's kind of tucked away. But it's still pretty good. You can't really go wrong with this area and you especially can't go wrong with this food Hall. It's not big like you would find in krog Street market, But it's still solid and it's still good. You will come into the battery and you'll park somewhere and it is a short walk from everything else in the battery district. You do have to pay to park though so just keep that in mind. It's not like you're going to go ahead and stop and eat here for an hour for free. Well you actually may because a lot of times on the battery the first couple hours are free so never mind LOL. I like this specific food hall situation because everybody so close since it's very small and you can talk to the bartenders at the bar while you are waiting for your food. Everybody is super nice and super friendly there. In any event, I got the Spicy tan tan and it was damn good. I got some extra chicken and some extra vegetables in mine but it came pretty spicy even though it wasn't actually spicy. So you can select if you want spice on the menu but this didn't need any. I would definitely suggest giving it a shot because I have quite a few other things that you can try as well.

I visited Lifting Noodles @ the Battery with little expectations. We didn't realize that Ph'East was a small food hall, but we went for it anyway. The food here is a bit overpriced (IMO). I ordered the Angry Zuko, without the egg & Bean Sprouts & added chicken. I assumed (which is on me), that the broth would be creamy, but it wasn't. It wasn't bad, it was just a bit greasy. The flavor was tasty and the corn was sweet, which is a plus in my book lol. Unfortunately the chicken was DRYYY, but expected from chicken breast. I also ordered the veggie spring rolls, which were tasty hot & fresh! And you get 5 pretty big ones! Overall the service was nice, the food was decent but I'd much rather visit a ramen restaurant. Nothing against the restaurant, I think there would just be more options available. But the vibe is nice if you like food hall's, but the price was just a bit too high for my liking.

Delicious pork gyoza! Great size to snack on. My son and I tried their beef pho. It was our first time and it was pretty good. One order was more than enough for my son and I to share. We could not finish it all!

Love the option to build your own bowl - we've been a few times and everything we've had has been tasty! Typically service is quick, and you'll only wait about 10 minutes for your meal. We especially Love making the broth spicy - it adds a great flavor without being overpowering! Ph'east is a great spot to grab lunch with tons of options for groups to pick what they want and grab a drink at Taps.

I was in the mood for ramen and saw that Lifting Noodles was open until 10pm, so I decided to check them out. The restaurant is located in the Ph'East food hall in the Battery. It was pretty slow so I was able to walk right up and place my order. I ordered the chicken ramen and a Thai tea. The tea was already pre made in the fridge. My food was prepared quickly. I'll just say that the ramen did not satisfy my ramen craving. It was bland and cold.

Very disappointing! The noodles had 0 spice or flavor. Just reddish color and the broth tasted like water. I'm not sure how this qualifies as ramen! The place was also a little tough to locate. They also charged $5 for takeout cutlery and paperware, which was not properly closed and spilled all over our vehicle on the ride home. I will not be returning.

Location is in the Ph'East food hall at the Battery where there is a full bar & multiple Asian cuisines to choose from. Cafeteria-like seating and the bar area has seating too. My review is solely based on the vegetarian ramen which was flavorless, unfortunately. It came with a good amount of veggies but the broth was water, no flavor at all. The cooks were nice enough to give me some sesame oil & a chili paste to help it so wouldn't be a total waste of money. The additions did help but it shouldn't take all the extra to give ramen flavor. Perhaps their ramens that have meat are more rich & flavorful but the veggie ramen is garbage. For my vegan / vegetarians I'd recommend Jinya's vegan ramen which is very good, don't waste your coin here.

The flavors of the ramen were very good. The staff were friendly and the first to talk to me when i came in so i elected to eat here. Would definitely come back again. Thank you!!

I honestly thought I had the best ramen in Atlanta a few months ago; however, on Wednesday, October 18 I went to this restaurant and had the most delicious, most flavorful, most filling ramen experience ever. The spicy tan tan ramen was excellent! I don't even know how to fully put the taste into words. Just know it was delicious and an absolutely perfect portion that does fill you up! I will be returning to the battery to get this exact meal again and again. I receive my meal fairly quickly. It was a Wednesday so it wasn't super busy.

This Amazing Asian Foodie Market had me in a choke hold for 3 days straight! I ate at every single tiny storefront for 3 days. To be clear The Battery has many food options over 15 to choose from so with that said This place was amazing! I ordered the chicken ramen it came wit pickled ginger, crispy seaweed, corn and a perfectly cooked egg. The broth was the star of the bowl. I literally bent my head 2 inches above a barely cleaned surface just to slurp the broth out of the bowl. I don't know how this restaurant was able to elevate such an inexpensive meal but it was EVERYTHING!

Certainly a little on the pricey side, but you're at the Battery, so that is expected! I got the Village Classic bowl which is a pork tonkatsu broth filled with all the standard ramen items. A plus is there was no additional charge for the egg, as it true for many other ramen places. The bowl was huge and plenty filling, not just all broth with a few noodles and very small pieces of everything else. It was worth what you paid for it, considering the location. Next time, if I'm looking to nibble rather than eat, I will definitely try the brussels sprouts - they sound amazing!

This place is a solid ramen spot located in the battery area in an open concept restaurant. It's a pretty cool spot with a bar located in the center surrounded by 6 or so other food spots. I have now been here a few times and each time service is just ok and this is really based on the front counter help because I have talked to the guy making the ramen a few times and he is totally nice. Making this change would make a huge difference. The other night was a great example. Walked up the employee didn't even make eye contact at all...ordered my food no thank or anything. Sat down and waited a solid 20+ minutes which was odd for this place. But the food was so delicious and had great flavors. Everything I have tried so far has really been solid and has great flavors. My favorite has to be their crispy brussel sprouts and their spicy tan tan ramen noodles. Hoping on my next visit they fix the front counter help and this place would go to a 5 star.

Excellent ramen with all the right toppings and a spice that has a nice kick. With got the tan tan ramen and it did not disappoint. The pork broth that great flavor with a nice creamy consistency which is desired in ramen. Located in Ph'east food hall for convenience right by Truist park and with so many other options nearby whats not to like? If you are in the area, do try this spot.

It was ok. Starting off with the cashier guy, he was so underwhelmed that I wanted to order ramen from them, but whatever, you don't have to love your job... However, next thing I knew, my ramen was charged extra when I asked them to make my ramen extra spicy, and again when you order takeout for "plastic ware(?)" for to-go orders? Which is pretty much just for the heck of charging you because they give you a plastic spoon and chopsticks when you eat there anyways. Why! The best part of ramen is to eat the noodles with the broth, but a small ahh plastic spoon (vs the traditional ramen scoop spoon you usually given when you eat in-house) was a joke. I got the chicken ramen. Too much ginger IMO, the broth was also thick, not like typical soupy broth, and the lack of a ladle spoon was a drag, but the chicken... like literal pieces of chicken was good. I'd say the broth wasn't terrible either, but after paying extra to make my ramen spicy (literally asked for the spice level to make me cry lol yes, I came for the flavor).......... not spicy. I usually eat my ramen to the bottom, broth and all, but the bottom was thick and gunky, probably from excessive ginger, and I didn't care for it at all. I also came half-full, so not very hungry, yet still ate all of it if that tells you anything about portion size. Otherwise, the atmosphere was pretty cool. Live music, accessible bar, and other Asian cuisines right there in the food court space. Cool concept. I grabbed a oolong milk tea at the KungFu Tea boba spot in the same area, in schmedium size (medium is their smallest size but it's definitely a small) that cost $18. I added classic boba and aloe Vera jelly, which took up half the cup with no ice, so I'd hate to have ordered it with ice and had a total of three sips total. Also ok. Some places let you choose sweetness level or things like that, I didn't see that option and mine wasn't very sweet/good. I was in and out in under an hour, paid $40 for both, a sub par dining experience.

Delicious ramen and great people. Fun time in the Battery. Ph'East is the spot for great food.

This place is small feed court. The taste was good. I ate black tonkotsu ramen. Not bad.

Soooo good. The broth wasn't bland and the toppings were my favorite part. The ramen was good as well. I got full fast.

Phenomenal food and atmosphere. Staff is friendly as elves in Santa's workshop. Bowls are filled to the brim with fresh and delicious ramen. Great choices for ramen lovers. Stop by after a Braves game and enjoy the live music or just people watch around the Battery.

We went for dinner and it did not disappoint. I got the spicy ramen and the kimchi was phenomenal. It has just the right amount of spice. My only 2 complaints are it wasn't hot (temperature wise) and the noodles were a little too firm for my liking. Almost like if the broth had been hotter the noodles would have been a little softer. I would certainly go back and just ask for my food to be a little hotter.

Came here on a random Thursday and ordered the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen without seaweed (my preference). 10/10 recommend. Absolutely delicious! The spot was located inside a small food hall with about 4 other take out food services. There was seating inside and outside, though the standing heaters were not on outside (there was a covering outside with heaters on the ceiling but only covered about two tables). The overall Covid precautions in ATL are revolting and seeing so many people without masks sucks but they do have signs saying that masks should be worn. The one hand sanitizer stand I saw did not have any alcohol in it. This isn't unique to this location FYI. Would definitely return though and maintain all social distance and Covid precautions I will say seeing the cook without a hair bet definitely was a turn off. I've never seen that. Did I check my food to make sure no hair had dropped in? Absolutely

The Ramen was flavor and spicy like I like. I thought the establishment was a restaurant, but it's actually in an enclosed food court.

Order chicken bowl. Very good. Right balance of flavor. Friendly staff. Lots of food. Quick service and good little spot.

Absolutely good eats !!!! So , my friend and I both came to this booth with the intentions of good ramen. Never the least we were impressed starting from the welcoming hosts , the chef prepping and preparing our food , and the quality of the food . We both ordered chicken ramen , extra spicy and shrimp for me . The bowl was flavorful , robust aroma , and a healthy size portion . I admired how they don't short you on the protein , and how the veggies are quite plentiful . Another visit coming soon ' Bravo

Lifting noodles is a ramen shop located in Ph'east at the Atlanta Battery. It has many eastern style food and desserts with long tables in the middle. I got the tonkotsu black ($15) on a Monday evening. The place wasn't crowded, and the food came out quick within 10~15 minutes. The broth was hot and flavorful. Although the price is a bit high, it came with lots of noodles and vegetables, neatly presented in the bowl. The pork was tender and juicy. Overall, pretty good ramen option in the area!

Awesome place to eat at and the location is great. Delicious food, customer service was awesome and will come back again for sure

Where do I start... hmmm.. how about ... Disappointing??? One of us actually said let's hold hands when they went and back from picking up the bowls of noodles... n.. I like ok.. She then said.. ok let's pray.. I like oh no.. Why? wait?? No egg?? Where was the half egg? Or was it not supposed to come with egg? I read up on ingredients, it should come with half an egg.. None of our ramen came with the egg. Then another went back to the stall, and back with a bowl with 3 half eggs. I started eating.. ayyyy.. why was the broth luke warm? The meat (though tasty) was cold according to one of us. I blurted I would drown those meat inside the lukewarm broth. Then I was told "you can't put something cold in something cold to make it hot". Ugh!! The generous two stars here was because the meat was tasty (though cold) and the broth has the potential to be better if it was served piping hot. Not likely to return. Not worth my time and drive here.

Actually learned about this place during my first Yelp Elite event where I was invited to try Lifting Noodles off of Flat Shoals Rd. This location sits in an Asian eatery at the Battery and has live music on certain nights (I think). There's a vast amount of seating and even a bar at the front where I think they offer tons of local beers which is always good. The vibe isn't too dive-y but just enough for a group of friends to come get something to eat and listen to a live performer over some sushi or in my case, Ramen. I got my favorite, the Angry Zuko ramen bowl that include a spicy pork broth with all of the fixings. I also got the Gyoza, which is filled with pork and comes with a dark sesame soy sauce. I got the green tea to wash it all down. A little pricey but it's very good and the food comes out fast. You can sit outside in the open and people watch or inside and catch the latest sports channel. Very neat spot to try on this side of Atlanta.

A little pricey but well worth it. I got the chicken and it was very tasty. Also got the Thai iced tea which was very good. Definitely recommend.

This is definitely a great spot for grabbing a bowl of ramen . I always go with the chicken ramen dish. It always satisfies & hits the spot . I always accompany it with a beer from the bar right across the food court. There's a lot of tasty ramen options to select from. Definitely worth a try.

Another surprisingly good meal at Ph'East in the Battery. We had the Spicy Seafood ramen bowl, the Chicken Bowl, and fried pork gyoza to start...all were excellent! The ramen bowl portions are huge so plan to have leftovers. So far, every stall we've tried at Ph'East has been outstanding, head down to the Battery for some Braves post season fun and great eats!

The food is always tasty!!!! Those Brussels sprouts are spectacular!!!! The ramen is flavorful. I always build a bowl but I'll try one of the advertised very soon! I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Oh! And the juices are good too

This place is great. Yummm the service was fast im happy Why else would you want to go anywhere

It is not too bad. We got the kimchi ramen and the spicy tan tan. My tan tan noodles came with a decent serving of pork.

Pho mazing!!! I've never had kale noodles so was Leary about everything. It was really good. I got the vegan creamy ramen. I'll be back for sure! My friend had the chicken ramen.

It was beautiful to look at and just as tasty! I had the angry zuko ramen. Highly highly recommend.

Can't comment on the food itself because we never got to complete the order. My fiancé and I have a dining out passbook which is full of restaurants that offer BOGO meals. We spent a good 30 minutes looking through the book when we decided on Lifting Noodles. We were excited to go try it out and take in the aftermath sights and sounds of the Braves parade. We arrived and there was nobody in line. We order and break out the passbook and the gentleman at the register states, "we aren't taking those tonight." We stepped to the side while we looked over the book for anything that suggested there may be dates that the offer wasn't available. Not finding any we went back to the counter and asked why they wouldn't honor the deal, and the gentleman stated, "there is an event going on and this is when we make money." We asked if we could speak to a manager, at which point, the gentleman stated he was the owner. We were very disappointed as we took time, decided on this place, drove there, and parked only to be turned away. For what would have been $15 savings to us, something the restaurant wouldn't even feel, the owner lost what could've been potential repeat customers. What a ridiculous business decision.

Amazing!!! Was feeling under the weather and these noodles were just what I needed. Fast and friendly service.

LOVE the service here! My daughter & I were very hungry and I was (per usual) indecisive. The cashier & manager were super helpful, friendly and patient! Great service makes Ramen taste even better!

"Love it" I visited during lunch with my wife. Love the fast-casual atmosphere. While standing in the line I was able to clearly see the menu to decide on what I wanted. While waiting in line I looked around the food court to see the serving portion of ramen. I was kind of disappointed to see that the portion wasn't what I thought it would be for $11. But I decided to give it a try anyway. Besides, $11 for a bowl of ramen is not bad. I would say it's kind of the average price these days. My wife got the Spicy Zuko Ramen and I got the Village Classic Ramen. It was pretty busy, but we received our food in about 10 minutes. For ramen, my go-to things are taste and temperature of broth and noodle texture throughout the meal. I think this place has checked all of my criteria. The broth was rich and flavorful. Its temperature was warm. I'd say it's acceptable for ramen (not an expert - just my preference). And the best part of all - the noodles stayed al dente throughout the meal. Very important to me. Because some places I've been to who state they specialize in ramen - got this part disappointingly wrong. Makes me sad to eat soggy noodles :( Yes - thank you Lifting Noodle Ramen for being 5 miles from my house and making a good bowl of ramen. Though the portion looked small - I was full and satisfied.

Disappointed!! I wanted to like Lifting Noodle Ramen but couldn't. First of all, I ordered chicken ramen. Then I walked over to Snackboxe Bistro to order chicken curry puffs. Lastly, I walked over to Poke Burri to talk to my coworker who was still in line to order. He gets his poke bowl before my food. The chicken curry puffs was done before the ramen. I was shocked. I ate one curry puff and then the buzzer goes off to get the ramen. First of all, the soup is just lukewarm. Noodles was tasteless. I asked for spicy and there was no spice at all! The broth tasted like polluted water. Too much ginger in the soup. The way it was sliced, I thought it was bamboo. The meat was decent but I will not spend $11 for it ever again. Presentation looks good but taste wise, yuck! 6/2020

I really really want to like this place. Mainly because I worked around here and good Ramen place is at least 20 minutes drive away on good traffic day. This a a food court style eatery. Cashier was very friendly, wasn't very fast, but friendly. Ramen options are fairly standard; classic Tonkotsu, black, spicy, etc. I ordered the Tonkotsu black for $1 more than the classic. When I collected my ramen, I can't really tell which is my order. The reason? There is maybe one teaspoon of black garlic oil. Can't taste it, can't smell it. Not sure where my $1 went. My first sip of the soup base is as disappointing. The soup is at most lukewarm . After that it's just one disappointment after another. I'm just going to list it: * broth is lukewarm. * hardly any black garlic oil * chashu is cold - literally cold like out of the fridge cold * egg is cold - see chashu * noodle is just warm. I ate enough to write this review and hopefully not get sick. I guess driving 20 minutes is better than food poisoning.

At the newly opened Asian food hall at the Battery. Got the original with make it black extra $1 charge. It had a very deep and flavorful broth. Meat was not salty like other ramen places I tried. Didnt get to try the original place at the East Atlanta Village and now I want to go try the original place. I loved this more than other places here (except poke burri)

The ramen is incredible here. The service was fast and affordable. The vibe was fun and light. Kids approved!

the takeout service is so cute and very convenient. The staff is very sweet and very bubbly

I would leave less. Got two vegetarian options "1 Up" to go and they tried to charge me 3$ for to go containers. They stated they needed a special ones because the ramen was Hot. I asked them would they charge me if I got it for here and boxed it myself they said no. . Once I got it the veggies were all wilted or old. Mushrooms were tough and old and the sprouts were broken and wilted. The spinach and the egg noodles were extremely salty . When I asked for my money back they refused because they said they made it correctly and it's supposed to be salty. SOME BS. 30$ down the drain. Don't eat here.

WOW! Best Pho I have ever had in my life. If you need a new place to go or just interested in trying pho for the first time; check out this place! Great service, great food, and great vibes! Just make sure not to wear a white shirt if your a messy eater lol!

Great little Ramen restaurant. Community sea toting and a food court setting with other Asian flavors around.

This is one of my favorite Ramen places so when we were in the battery, I jumped at the chance. We only had ramen this go round so that's all I'm reviewing. With any ramen, the broth is boss. LNR's broth is fantastic - especially when it's spicy. It's loaded with all the veggies - corn, shrooms, scallions and the most perfectly cooked egg. This isn't a full service restaurant. It's a good hall with some community tables. The ramen is worth it though.

Food was delicious! Will definitely return to this place. The service left a bit to be desired but I enjoyed my meal so much it didn't seem fair to leave a 3 star review. I have had my fair share of Ramen. I don't care for the egg and usually request that it is left off. However, I even ate the egg this go around. And it was pretty good.
