Okiboru Duluth

I visited Okiboru for the first time this Sunday and the experience was absolutely amazing. We were sat as soon as we entered and promptly given drinks while we browsed the online menu. The service was equally amazing throughout the night and thank you so much to Aaliyah, Josh, and John for making it a great experience. The ambience of the restaurant is super chill and they actually sell their own tee-shirts with amazing designs, definitely worth visiting again just for the shirt lol. As for the food, it got out extremely quickly and the presentation was just as gorgeous as the flavor.

This place is a hidden treasure!!! When I walked in I didn't know what to expect but I was blown away. The service is fast, prompt and very friendly!!!The dishes are simple yet contain so much flavor and development. The bao bun sandwiches were a delight, the potstickers so crispy and tender and then ramen was AMAZING!!! The menu was designed by a Michelin star chef and the prices are fantastic!! For 3 apps, green tea, two drinks and two ramen with pickled radish we only spent $90.00. Do NOT sleep on this place!!!!!

The Ramen location is definitely worth a try! The interior is small but very nicely decorated and simplistic! And parking is a shared space with other vendors so be prepared to look for a spot. I tried various items from the menu and was satisfied with every one of them! The first two were small plates ( Garlic Nori Fries & okibora Bun chicken) the fries were a little salty due to the bamboo salt but was still so good and great to share! It also comes with a small garlic aoli dip that was more like a garlic kewpi mayo. The Buns were AMAZING! The Buns are super fluffy and soft, while the chicken was nice and crunchy! The mix of garlic aoli and soy sauce topped with a slightly marinated cucumber and chives paired SO well with chicken and bun! The last part was the Ramen, my partner and I got a Tonkatsu and chicken ramen. The broth for the Tonkatsu is heartier and rich in flavor (kind of like a bone broth), where as the chicken broth was lighter and slightly greasy. Both have their own charm but broth good! The service was also pretty good considering there were only 3 people working. They always made sure I had more water without asking and checked in on my and my partner if everything was satisfactory! Overall, good food and service!

A buddy of mine said I should try this place, so I went for lunch. I’m not a huge ramen connoisseur but Woah!!! Big flavor and the spice level wasn’t overpowering. The buns were excellent as well. I’ll for sure be coming back with my wife and friends. The service was great too, lots of suggestions and kept checking to see how everything was tasting. Good job there

Location is good, plenty of parking as it is a shopping center. The location stays a little slow compared to Sandy Springs one but regardless the service is great! Plenty of space inside for any size party! A place that does Ramen right! Their spicy is actually spicy. Their vegan option are actually tasty and I love the broth. I highly recommend!

The garlic nori fries were AMAZING!!! The spicy tori paitan was super yummy , and the karaage in the ramen complimented it so well

Okiboru in Duluth, serves some of the best ramen in Atlanta that very close to ramen in Japan. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful, with layers of umami that leave you savoring every spoonful. You can tell they put a lot of time and care into perfecting their soup base. I ordered the Spicy Tori Paitan ramen, and it was outstanding. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned, while the spicy broth had a creamy depth with just the right amount of heat. The noodles had the perfect texture, making each bite a delight. On top of the amazing food, the presentation is top-notch, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. If you’re a ramen lover, Okiboru is a must-try spot in Duluth. It’s clear why they have such a great reputation—you won’t leave disappointed!

Went there with 3 friends today and it was amazing! Definitely the best Ramen I ever had. Both waiters were amazing, very helpful and friendly. Wish I got their names to give them a personal shout out! The atmosphere is great too. I highly recommend going :)

Hands down 5 stars! Best vegetarian ramen, best Brussel sprout side dish with plenty, best quality of filtered drinking water which they also use for their soups and cooking! Moreover outstanding service! I am visiting this are outside of Atlanta. GA but I made sure that I came back 2 days in a row and will return again!

The ramen was good ! Definitely would've liked more toppings however. The service was also very good, always coming to the table and checking on us but not interrupting our conversations. The place was very nice and organized. Open restaurant with a nice customer touch to it. Overall do recommend for a nice sit down and lunch date.

Kind of a generous 4 stars but I feel like 3 is more inaccurate. I also feel like the Michelin star is extremely inaccurate but in fairness, I didn't have the ramen since it wasn't gluten free. Which brings me to my first point-nothing is gluten free here. Nothing. The server even told us that but I thought-stupidly-he was referring to the ramen only. However, nothing on the menu is gluten free. I tried though and got the Brussels sprouts and the rice bowl with chicken. Brussels were 5 stars easy. The sauce was superb. Not sure what made them gluten full, but whatever, they were delicious. The rice bowl was much less impressive. Fried chicken, which I missed on the menu if it even said fried, and really bland ingredients. I added some leftover sauce from the Brussels which helped immensely, but a Michelin restaurant shouldn't need me to mix sauces from dishes. Maybe our expectations were too high, but I'm not impressed. Oh well, removing that bookmark.

This is Michelin rated? Yelpers need a hostile take over of Michelin bc I've had better ramen than this. It isnt bad ramen of course, it was nothing impressive. First we ordered 2 appetizers - the truffle garlic edamame and the Brussel sprouts. Edamame - 3 stars bc i couldn't taste the garlic much less the truffle oil. Tasted like a rip off. If there's truffle oil in there it must be diluted with mostly vegetable oil. Brussel sprouts- 5 stars bc the sauce was so good and the pickled onions were the perfect accompaniment. Next came our entrees. I ordered the tofu ramen and my husband ordered the chicken and rice dish. Tofu Ramen - 4 stars bc the noodles were the highlight and the broth though good was not exceptional much less Michelin level good. I couldn't rate how authentic it is but I know I've had better in GA, NY & even FL ffs. Chicken & rice bowl - 3 stars per my Yelp Elite husband. We knew they didn't have gluten free noodles so he went with this option and it was painfully average to him (from NY). So just manage your expectations here. Yay for vegans ans vegetarians bc we all get to try it and kudos to Okiboru for its veg*n friendly options. Service was very prompt and friendly. We came in on Saturday but at an off hour of 400 and there was no wait. By the time 500 rolled around the place was almost full but no wait yet.

Cute little spot in Duluth with ample parking since it's located in a shopping center. Unfortunately, stting is limited and not good for large groups but the staff is nice. This is a mainly ramen spot but they do have other dishes that are good. The ramen itself is delicious but regrettably, there are few options for topping and their spicy is not very spicy. I was pleasantly surprised by their Brussel sprouts appetizer and all the other ones were good too.

I revisited this place...this time, to try their Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen. Well, the ramen was good...spicy, but not overly so. It was also unusual in that they used a much thinner noodle. Not sure if it was the best ramen I've had, but it was solid. I also tried their Gyoza...and although crudely made (not shapely at all!), they tasted quite good. Very crispy! Service was quick and fairly attentive as well. Just like last time, I was perplexed with their decor...an odd mix of prettiness and grittiness. Pretty with their floral decor...then these gritty graffiti-comic style wall "art" throughout. I just don't get it. Overall, a very interesting ramen bar.

Okiboru Tsukemen & Ramen is a must-visit for ramen lovers! I tried the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, Regular Tonkotsu Ramen, and the Truffle Oil Garlic Edamame, and everything was absolutely fantastic. The Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen had the perfect amount of heat, with a rich and creamy broth that felt like a warm hug. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the toppings complemented the dish beautifully. The Regular Tonkotsu Ramen was just as flavorful--silky, savory, and deeply satisfying. It's an excellent choice for those who prefer a classic ramen experience. The Truffle Oil Garlic Edamame was a standout appetizer. The truffle aroma paired with the garlicky flavor made it incredibly addictive. It's a great way to kick off the meal. One thing that really impressed me was how fast the service was! It only took about 5 minutes to receive our food, which is amazing for such high-quality dishes. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, with ample parking available, making it super convenient to visit. They offer dining tables for groups and a cozy ramen bar that's ideal for solo diners. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or a sit-down meal, Okiboru delivers on all fronts. If you're in the area and craving ramen, this spot won't disappoint! Highly recommend it for a hearty, flavorful meal served with lightning-fast efficiency.

Okiboru is amazing! The service is quick and friendly,, the establishment is clean and safe. The food is amazing! Great for individual meals or big groups. I always get the spicy chicken ramen. The portions are huge and very flavorful. Everyone working is so kind as well!

Location is good, plenty of parking as it is a shopping center. The location stays a little slow compared to Sandy Springs one but regardless the service is great! Plenty of space inside for any size party! A place that does Ramen right! Their spicy is actually spicy. Their vegan option are actually tasty and I love the broth. I highly recommend!

There are many ramen places near me and I finally tried Okiboru. The decor is pretty in the middle and graffiti in the sides. Quite a juxtaposition. I was seated quickly in the small dining area. The staff was attentive and helpful throughout. I ordered the garlic nori fries as a starter which was so delicious! Then I got the Tori Paitan which was a delicious rich chicken broth with karage and thin noodles. A nice warm evening on a cold night. I will be back.

It's always like family here! We are regulars here especially with the weather being trash lately. This time I got a drink (Sorry Yuzu Citrus & Salt Ale) which was really mild in a good way and tasty with my Truffke ramen (which was obviously tasty too lol!!) I learned recently they had removed the bar area because no one was using it and instead replaced it with tables to give the customers more regular seating. They are very attentive to our needs and we love coming before an event or show. We pop in and then pop out.

My friend recommended Okiboru and it was a blast! I was excited since they received the Michelin Bib in California, so I was expecting a good experience. Our waiter was very nice and attentive, he answered all of our questions and joked around with us! After we ordered, they kept reminding us about the kitchen closing - I appreciated that they checked in with us. We got the garlic fries to share and I got the truffle ramen with thick noodles. I thought the garlic fries were great, especially the aioli that it came with. The truffle ramen was also awesome! I thought it was the perfect broth, not too heavy and not too light. The truffle was strong but not overpowering, and the thick noodles were a great choice! Would definitely come back :)

A casual sit down restaurant that serves mainly ramen. The broth was rich, but not spicy enough. There was seasoning on the side to make your broth spicier. I wished they had more toppings aside from green onions and spinach. The chicken was also not very crisp, but the overall flavor of the meal was pretty good. I'm not dying to go back but this place will suffice if you have a ramen craving.

I've been meaning to try this place and they did not disappoint. Food we ordered was delicious and staff was fast. Tip: I'm not sure how it is all the time in Duluth area. I'm used to tip being automatically added for parties bigger than six. However, I ordered for three of us and the tip was already included. Typically I tip more than what's recommended but when establishments do that, I just stick to the minimum. They also have some cool T-shirt merch for sale!

Okiboru seriously never disappoints! This was my first time at the Duluth location and the service was fast, food was delicious, & everything was GREAT! Loved the refreshing matcha udon dipping noodles! Perfect for the summer time! One of my all time favorite ramen/tsukemen spots!!!

Love the one in Sandy Springs location. Probably the best Japense Ramen in Georgia. One is Duluth is worse than other mediocre Japanese Ramen places. Will never go to the Duluth location.

Food was great. Spicy Tonkotsu was probably mild at best. The protein were cooked perfectly and extremely tender. Service, not so hot.. Told the server I was ready for the bill and made me wait ten minutes to pay and tip. Kinda rude when handing the receipt.

Get the fries!!!! The fries are definitely my favorite thing to order here even though it's a ramen spot. I get them every time and they never disappoint. The sauce pairs really well with it. The ramen here is definitely my favorite ramen spots. The spicy ramen is my favorite and I always get it with thick noodles instead of thin!! I also love the chicken it comes with, super flavorful and isn't soggy even-though it's in the broth. The soup isn't too spicy and I really enjoy the food here. The service is fast and friendly !

Hi Okiboru in Duluth! This is my second time trying Okiboru (first I tried was in the Sandy Springs area) and everything was great. Me and hubs are pretty consistent with what we eat so we ordered tonkotsu and spicy tonkotsu, same ramen we got from the other location. We found the ramen is consistent and the broth is oh so flavorful and service was quick. Ambiance is cute also, I love the decor inside with the cherry blossoms and the artwork. Overall, a great ramen pick when you're in the ATL area.

We visited this place while taking a break from a local con. We were seated immediately, and found the place to be buzzing with a little vibe you might expect of a trendy ramen establishment. I immediately got lost in the "graffiti" on the walls. Staff was pretty quick and made some good recommendations. I had the Tonkotsu, made with a traditional rich pork broth. It was delicious. The noodles were perfect. I wish the dish had been bigger. Next time I'm going to try the bao/buns. Holler if you're coming with.

The food here was fantastic. The food was quick and fresh and flavorful. Our service was great. The team kept our drinks filled, and attended our needs immediately. The overall vibe in there is really nice. Love the giant floral centerpiece above the seating area!

Service was very quick which was great! I was seated right away. I've tried the Sandy's Springs location so decided to try the Duluth location today. The food was very good. The spicy tonkatsu ramen was really good, but, I felt the okiboru braised ribs were a bit salty. Overall the ambiance was dope! The experience was good overall. I'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

Okiboru came highly recommended - and rightly so. Decided to try this place out for a date with my wife and we were not disappointed. The ramen was delicious - I partially liked the noodles and the broth. The noodles were al dente to the perfect level and the broth was extremely flavorful but not too salty. We also got the edamame, pork buns, and shrimp for appetizers. All of them were delicious but I think the shrimp was my favorite.. to be more specific, the sauce that came with the shrimp was my favorite. To add to the positive experience, the staff was so good. Friendly, efficient, and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

I've been to the Sandy Springs location many times. I figured I'd try the one by my home. It's pretty consistent with the Sandy Springs location. It's a lot bigger too! The staff was great here. They seem to be able to be paying attention because my husband thought he could use chopsticks (spoiler alert: he couldn't) and they saw he was getting ready to ask a question and they walked up to see if everything was okay. Food was great here! We ordered the Tori Paitan and the Spicy Tori Paitan. The regular one was so flavorful-the broth was perfect. My husband really loves spicy stuff so he enjoyed the spicy tori Paitan.

Okiboru is my favourite ramen joint in the city. There are a few locations, and they've all been consistent. Their marinated eggs a are the best and I'm a huge fan of the Tsukemen (dipping ramen) although it's not for everyone as it has a strong flavour.

Loved everything we ordered and service was great. Favorite was Tori Paitan. Definitely coming back.

A casual hidden spot in a strip mall, but definitely worth a visit! We started with the fried gyoza and french fries. The garlic aïoli dip was to die for!! I just about filled up on appetizers before I even got my noodles. I ordered the truffle Ramen bowl with thick noodles and it was really tasty. The service was very good. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful being it was our first time. Plenty of parking and seating. It got pretty crowded by the time we left.

Cute little Japanese style ambiance, the foods were delicious and clean. The food came out very fast and the servers were nice and attentive

We came here for a quick dinner before going to an event closeby. The spicy tonkatsu ramen was delicious. It had only broth, noodles, pork pieces, half egg, and green onions. No extra toppings like other places. The fries were crunchy with a great aioli. Part of the restaurant looked like it was under construction still. Service was fast. We will be back!

Okiboru is amazing! The service is so friendly, and the food, from the ebi karaage to the gyoza and perfectly crispy fries to the ramen that is so rich, so delicious it is life changing. The new location at MOG is beautiful! Oh and it's Michelin rated - you can thank me later.

Service was quick our server was good, inside is clean and new, food is good. The spicy tonkatsu was a bit more spicy than usual but still good

I have to say that this must now be the most delicious ramen I've had in Atlanta. First, the restaurant is a nice little dive with a very aesthetic ramen bar where solo eaters are encouraged to pull up a seat and dive into the wonderful world of expertly crafted ramen broth. With or without friends this is a wonderful experience. The service was extremely good as well as fast. It almost felt as though there was no wait time and our waiter was funny, efficient, and made some excellent recommendations as well as knowing everything there is to know about the menu. Today I was able to try the tori paitan (chicken broth and chicken karaage with scallions and spinach) and the spicy tonkatsu (spicy pork broth and pork char sui). The Tori paitan broth was gushing with flavor and washes your tongue over with the flavor of pure chicken and fatty goodness. In fact, it feels as though the soup is as creamy as a sauce despite it just being broth and so this must be because the fattiness of the chicken broth was so rich. The scallions add a nice vegetable taste to the broth although in my opinion it could have been a little stronger but excellent nevertheless. The surprising part is when it is served the chicken karaage it's still extremely crispy and plays with the textures and softness of the other ingredients in the ramen. The spicy pork tonkatsu was excellent. The spiciness of the broth did nothing to quell the flavor of the pork broth and just like the chicken ramen, the flavor of the pork was extremely rich and The soup itself could be the meal. The char sui was So tender that it just falls apart in your chopsticks almost, and the flavor brings out the saltiness and succulentness of the meat. In this soup the green onion stand out a little bit more and find a perfect balance between the sweetness and crispness of the scallions, and the spiciness and umami of the pork broth. The noodles were perfectly cooked in my opinion, neither too soft or hard, tender but firm and absorbed the flavors of the soup well without becoming soggy. If you are truly looking for a delicious ramen bar that will blow your expectations this is the one. I hope this restaurant sets your standards high for ramen because it definitely blew me away.

What a great place! It's a small, cozy place that has walls that you can draw on. The service is great and the people are friendly. We had 4 people in our party and all of our food came out quickly. For appetizers, we got Crispy Gyoza and Chicken Okiboru Buns. Both were absolutely amazing and very fresh. For dinner, I got the Spicy Tori Paitan and my partner got the Tonkotsu Ramen. We were extremely pleased with the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Everything was at the right temperature, the portions were just right and it came out quickly! The price was very fair, the service was great and it was exactly what you'd want at a ramen place. We'll definitely be back!

The texture of the noodles were delightful -- perfectly cooked with just the right amount thickness and chew. The dipping broth was packed with flavor. Overall an amazing experience! Awesome food combined with quick and efficient service.

Great food and service. We ordered the fries, the spicy tonkotsu ramen, and the regular tonkotsu ramen. Fries were delicious, hot and crispy and not too salty. The aioli that came with it was sweeter than I've ever had aioli which was a pleasant surprise and I am now obsessed with it. Both ramens were rich and flavorful. We had the standard thinner noodles but if you like thicker noodles, you can order that as well. We dropped a pair of chopsticks on the floor and someone was there instantly to give us another pair - it was quite impressive. Prices are also quite good. Definitely recommend.

This was a first time experience and it's a great ramen shop! We were quickly greeted and seated, and they were very timely with our orders and asked every once in a while if we needed anything. We got the Spicy Tonkotsu and Garlic Nori fries. I personally wish the the tonkotsu was a bit spicier, but that's a personal preference. I love how chill the vibe is, and the walls had so many drawings that I'm guessing from patrons that have visited. I would visit again and recommend them! Also note: they only take card payments!

Saw this place pop up on my recommended and wanted to try since there really isn't much ramen places, let alone Tsukemen, in Duluth. Located off of Satellite BLVD, right next to Glam Pocha, it is in the middle of Duluth near other restaurants/desert places. Upon entering, a friendly staff seated our party and answered a lot of our questions on recommendations. Service 5/5. Menu is on QR code and offers appetizers, ramen and tsukemen options. Ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and modern. Customers can write on the wall here. Food came out after 15 minutes (appetizer came out first) and noticed the ramen portion is smaller than other restaurants. Taste wise the Tonkotsu ramen and the tsukemen were good but a bit too salty. Im a huge fan of tsukemen, but I was reaching for the water a lot. This place has a lot of potential and can see it growing since its in the high traffic area of Duluth. Ample parking and they do to go orders (apps as well). Food wait time was around 10-15 min

Okiboru. Duluth has a few bad reviews... I believe that the reason that it really has these bad reviews because people aren't ready to go just themselves. They are comparing them to other Okiboru's Okiboru's. In my opinion, their food was great, the service was excellent, and the speed at which the food came out was amazing too! I love the decor too! I definitely added to the walls that they painted white to allow customers to add their own artwork. Very cool! Let's start with the food. We had three appetizers: the ebi karaage , the crispy gyoza, and the nori fries. The crispy Gyoza were filled with piping hot juicy meat. They were served with a standard Gyoza dipping sauce. Good stuff the ebi karaage was very crunchy, but they still had plenty of shrimp on the inside, because the shrimp were nice big jumbos. I made sure that I took a picture to show that these are not all breading. They are definitely meaty fried shrimp. These are served with some kind of a mayo sauce - I'm not 100% sure what the twist was on it, but they were also served with two pieces of cucumber as a nice refresher between the fried shrimp. The nori fries were much like Checker's fries with that light touch of extra crunchy batter- but of course they were seasoned with nori and a small amount of garnish. I wasn't impressed with them- because they were served with plain Mayo. I ended up requesting some soy sauce and chili paste to make my own sauce. They were MUCH ELEVATED then. I highly recommend making the chili-soy-Mayo sauce. Or just the chili-soy sauce to dip your fries. Since we knew we were getting these appetizers, I let my sister choose the ramen and we requested 2 small bowls so we could share the ramen. She decided on regular Tonkatsu. I let her take the soft-boiled egg, which was definitely steeped in a soup/soy broth based on its coloring. I can't comment on the flavor of the egg, but she enjoyed it. The noodles definitely weren't handmade, but they could have been "house made" by the chain to stick to a recipe. So, they were just regular noodles. The pork chashu was on point. Whoever said it was falling apart in their review doesn't know anything about how it's made. It was delicious. The bone broth has the same issue I tasted before at the other Okkiboru location: it's too creamy to be just bone broth. They're definitely adding cream to the broth. It's not a bad thing at all, but it gives it an uncharacteristic thickness that was mentioned by another reviewer. They put a handful of green onion garnish (I think we got a little extra since they knew we were going to share it), but it was enough. All-in-all, I would definitely visit again. Give them a shot - and try not compare them to another Okiboru location, because they are different people! Ps- I'm going to attempt to upload more pictures after my review, but for now- the food and a couple wall shots will have to do.

It's a big plaza so plenty of parking. Since there're many restaurants next to each other in the same area, most parking spot in front of the restaurant would be taken. I have always wanted to try Okiboru out and this is the closet location to my house. It was not so crowded when we walked in on a Sunday night but most guests prefer table over the bar so the tables are mostly occupied. The bar area doesn't have actual kitchen or drink making area in the middle. Instead, the inside of the bar is used for utensil storage and more. The staff is very friendly. The drawings on the wall is fun, you have to bring your own sharpie or pen to be able to draw but most space on the wall is already filled up with doodles and drawings. The 3 stars is for the food. It's good enough but kind of underwhelmed. I probably expected more with all the 5 stars review. The wooden spoon they offer has the size of the ladle which make more sense for a pot, rather than a small bowl of ramen. I had to ask for a normal spoon to eat. We had 3 appetizers and 1 ramen but the quality is so so. - Crispy gyoza - Ebi Karaage: it's like fried ground shrimp but somehow the texture makes it hard to feel the shrimp taste in it; though it's only shrimp in there. - Okiboru chicken bun - Tonkotsu: the noodle is hot enough for ramen but the egg is kinda cold which feel kinda off. The broth is very creamy and milky. There're 2 slices of chahu and half an egg. If there was any kind of vegetables like seaweed or mushroom, that would be nice. Overall, the ramen is good enough but all the appetizers are only so so. Clean place and friendly staff. I would give it a try in a different location to see if they're the same or different quality.

We had great experiences at the Sandy Springs location, so I'm happy that there is one in Duluth. I got my usual here, the wafu tsukemen. Even though we had our meals to-go, it was still really good. The soft boiled egg was perfectly cooked. I would reheat the broth on the stove, if you are eating it at home. One thing that differs from the Sandy Springs location is that you have the option to get your tsukemen noodles hot or cold. We also got the crispy fries. They reheat very well in the air fryer.

Great food! Thanks to others for appetizer suggestions! Shrimp fry's,and Gyoza! Ramen was fun!!

Okibrou was a bit hard to find for me. They're nestled next to Melting Pot. Look for Melting Pot and you'll find it. It looks like a tiny place from the outside. But when you walk in, it looks much bigger. The place looks pretty trendy. It looks like a typical, hip, ramen place our of NYC. But unlike NYC, the staff is super nice and relaxed. They're pretty cool dudes. Their menu isn't different from their Roswell location. They have your ramens, your tsukemens and their apps. I tried their tonkotsu ramen. It was a solid tonkotsu. The broth was thick and creamy, with the right amount of salt and flavors. The noodles were springy with the right amount of chew. And the chashu was great. The egg was perfectly done too. The edamame was good. It's drizzled with truffle oil and soy sauce. I'm not sure if I like the drizzle. I would just prefer plain, salted edamame. I guess it gave it a nice touch. Their yasai (vegan) ramen was surprisingly good. The broth was mushroom based and it still had the good thick, creamy, salty, flavorful goodness to it. The noodles were on point like with the tonkotsu. The tofu was unique. If you're vegan, this is a solid option. My only complaint was the lack of menus. You have to pull them up from your phone using a QR code. Maybe this is a way to filter out tech-challenged boomers or whatever. But I'm old school and would've preferred a menu.

I prefer this location over the Sandy Springs one just for the convenience factor of not having to drive too far to get here. The interior decor is very similar to the other location, a mix of traditional Japanese with some modern. Lots of seating options with bar seating in the center. Menu isn't too big. Standard items you would find at any ramen restaurant. Overall, if you like the other location, you'll like this one too.

Happy to learn that the Okiboru in Sandy Springs is now closer to me. The decor is better than the other shop. This has more of a ramen-ya feeling. They have a center 'bar' with seating all around it. You perch yourself atop that chair and have your ramen at the bar. However, they don't cook the ramen in the middle. It would be cool, if they have an open kitchen in the middle and you can watch em make the ramen there. The menu is the same, but, the pricing seems higher, and the flavor different. I don't remember it being this pricy, but it was $85ish (including tips) for 4 of us. Wow... when did ramen get so pricy? Flavor wise, something is off. The noodles were fine. They did a good job there, but the dipping sauce is not the same as Sandy Springs. All 4 of us came to that conclusion, that it was kinda meh. We did enjoy the wall of drawings by each seat. Some of them are actually quite hillarious!

Still our favorite ramen spot. The staff is nice. The food lately haven't been consistent in regards to taste and flavor ever since their main manager left, but this place is better than most.

Getting to eat Tsukemen at Okiboru is definitely different than take out. As we have been taking out, we treated ourselves by going in and eating. I got the usual appetizer and entree, Nori Fries and the Spicy Paitan Tsukemen. I have been back to this location many times before writing this review, and I've tried both hot noodles along with the cold noodles. So what's the best or the go to? For me, the fries are an absolute have to. Tsukemen is also a have to, especially if it's you're first time. Everything else is up to you as far as what to get. Overall, if have not been to their Sandy springs location, the Duluth location has more seating and is a lot more spacious. Food is identical and service is always great. I know I will definitely be coming back here.

This location is rather new, and trying a different entree here. The tonkotsu ramen was really creamy and flavorful without too much sodium. My taste buds did an instant wow when I tasted the broth; there was a lot of body to it. Though the ramen was more on the simplistic side, the broth really made a difference. The pork chashu was rather thick versus being thinly sliced. The soft boiled egg and scallion pieces added to the textures and flavors of this ramen. The Okiboru buns with pork were pretty tasty. One order comes with two. It felt like I consume more of the cucumber than pork with my bites. The buns itself was soft, and the sauce added nice flavors. It was good but not worth the food portion:price ratio if that's what you're after. Okiboru is definitely a solid place for ramen. Hands down.

This place is THE ramen spot! I couldn't come up with a single complaint. The only thing "unexpected" was the giant hand carved ladle they give you with your ramen! But other than that, my Truffle ramen was delicious. My soft boiled egg was perfect. My friend tried the TSUKEMEN (dipping ramen). Review was that the broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, my friend did complain about the lack of veggies in the dipping ramen but aside from that it was great. I loved the drawings all over the walls. Every employee in there was on their A game! I will definitely be returning!

Seating is a bit of a challenge for big parties-- we showed up as a party of 5 and after half an hour, we were told that we were welcome to try to fit at a table meant for 4 or wait for a different table, so we squeezed in. After this hurdle, our experience was quite pleasant! Our server was very attendant and promptly brought out our appetizer (garlic nori fries) and meals. The spicy tori paitan is definitely spicy but delicious! Would recommend trying this place out if you're looking for a fun, new ramen restaurant in the area :)
