Asian Street Food Restaurant Sweet Octopus with Poke Burri and Lifting Noodles Ramen Opens at Parsons Alley, Duluth, Georgia | Eater Atlanta

"Opened in Duluth’s Parsons Alley, Sweet Octopus is a nearly 4,000-square-foot, two-story Thai and Asian street-food restaurant from Paul Yuwachit. I found the first floor focused on Thai street foods such as Nakhon shrimp and massaman curry while also housing poke bowls and ramen from Poke Burri and Lifting Noodles Ramen (owned by Seven Chan and Ken Yu); all three operations share a kitchen and diners order from all three menus at a single counter in the dining room. The second floor includes a coffee, boba tea, and smoothie bar alongside a variety of Asian empanadas from Empanada House—bulgogi, spinach and ricotta, and pear and cheese—with cocktails expected to be served upstairs eventually." - Beth McKibben

Sweet Octopus Opening for Thai, Ramen, and Poke at Parsons Alley in Duluth, Gwinnett County, Georgia | Eater Atlanta

"Opening in October in Duluth’s Parsons Alley and led by Paul Yuwachit of Thai and Sushi EAV, this evolved concept occupies a nearly 4,000-square-foot, two-story space and functions as a 100-seat, counter-serve restaurant that intentionally feels food-hall-like while operating under a single name. The first floor offers Yuwachit's Thai street food alongside a small menu of poke and ramen items from partner concepts that share the kitchen, enabling patrons to order from all three at one counter. The second floor houses a bubble-tea bar plus a quick-serve pastry and empanada station, and the proprietors have emphasized that the operation is one vendor with many options rather than a mini food hall." - Beth McKibben

Thai Restaurant and Bubble Tea Bar Sweet Octopus Opening at Parsons Alley in Duluth, Georgia | Eater Atlanta

"Opening later this summer in Parsons Alley in downtown Duluth, this two-floor Thai restaurant and bubble-tea bar from Paul Yuwachit (owner of Thai and Sushi EAV and Donkey Mexican Bar and Grill) pairs a counter-serve first floor of Thai-style street food—rice dishes, soups and salads reminiscent of his East Atlanta Village menu—with a healthier focus using quinoa, brown rice and cauliflower rice. The upstairs bubble-tea bar is designed as a cafe/lounge for working or hanging out, serving snacks throughout the day and offering alcohol-infused boba; the downstairs bar will also carry sake, beer, wine and cocktails. The operation emphasizes sustainability with biodegradable straws, utensils and plates, and the owner plans to publish a magazine to share recipes and explore Asian culture, from travel to sake-making." - Beth McKibben

10/10 would recommend & try again! Atmosphere was chill & laid back. Gave me homie vibes. Service was top notch; young lady at the counter was nice & informative. Food was very flavorful! I got the drunken noodle pad Thai with the sweet octopus combo (Beef, chicken & shrimp). Also for starters I got the cheese rolls & tokyo fries.

We ate there late on a Friday night. There was very few people there. I asked for a recommendation and was told for spicy, try the Pad Mama noodles. I ordered them with shrimp. It was excellent. Not too spicy. Everything was cooked perfectly. My son and his friend ordered a Devil Roll and. Demogorgon Roll. They looked amazing. They both said they were very good. The portions were big. The three of us only ate half of our food and took the rest home. We will definitely go back again.

Food was so damn good, I’m not going to lie, I overdid it with my eyes but everything got ate up. I got the tuna donut and Pad Mama Noodle with shrimp. Omg, first time for both & I loved it.

The food here is amazing! I got the dynamite sushi burrito roll which was so good and fresh. I’ve also had the Thai dishes which are just as great! The service is very quick and staff are very friendly! This is arguably one of the best Asian spots in the Atlanta and Metro area.

I recently dined at Sweet Octopus, and I must say, the taste of the food was absolutely fantastic! Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The variety on the menu is impressive, offering something for everyone. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a great meal!

Came here yesterday for lunch and really enjoyed myself. This is not a full service restaurant you order at the front and wait for your food to be delivered. They have a nice outside area to enjoy the view of downtown Duluth which is where I like to seat also more food options offered upstairs with I nicer view if interested. They have hot and cold options and loads of variety. I ordered the volcano roll, Alaskan roll and the salmon sushi donut. Took only a few minutes to be delivered to my table, the sushi is very unique also very flavorful. I strongly recommend trying the sushi donuts three is definitely enough to share. Will be back very soon to try more options!

This place was clean and the food was delicious. The reason why i am giving 4 stars is due to pricing. For some dishes that pricing was much higher than other place which made me feel like i would rather Dine somewhere else with better value. Overall, i would still recommend this place for whoever is willing to try it. You would not be sorry. Burrito was good and the sushi. I would return back to this place but i am not in any rush.

I came here for the first time today! Food: I only ordered one dish, the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen! It was so delicious and honestly really exceeded my expectations! I will say, it was not the slightest bit spicy in my opinion, but the flavor was outstanding. I would 100% come back here to order the same dish or try something new! I highly highly recommend this place! Service: Everyone was super friendly here! No complaints about the service. They also brought out the food relatively quickly. Atmosphere: Nothing super special about the interior. Very relaxed environment. Chill place to grab a bite!

Another delicious visit! Got my fave starter- spicy tuna nachos- and this time got the fresh tuna poke bowl as the main. Both so fresh and so good. I have been many times and will be back!

Decided to try this place as it's been on my bookmark for a while and I happened to be in the area. It was a Thursday afternoon during lunchtime. There were a few other patrons but the place is not packed. Food is ordered at the counter and then they deliver the food to you, so it is not a traditional sit down restaurant. I ordered the spicy seafood ramen. It was decent. I can tell that the seafoods are all from packed/frozen seafood. Soup tasted alright as well. The ramen model was cool to property consistency. I have nothing bad to say, but it's not overly memorable nor out of this world.

Right in the center of cute Duluth! Beautiful building beautiful outside. Casual almost like a hangout spot. Easy to order and pretty quick service. Yummy food! Fresh ingredients and delicious choices. I had the Bangkok Ribs. SO tender! Fall off the bone with a beautiful Thai curry. I could have eaten 20! Pad Thai was also excellent and they have a fun Sushi Doughnut. We will be back!

I recently placed an order on uber eats and was very disappointed with the quality of the food. All of the appetizers were overcooked, except for the French fries. Additionally, I specifically requested my order not to be spicy, but it arrived spicy and was inedible. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, and unfortunately, it will also be my last.

I've been here somuch they should be paying me to review, LOl!! This time I am reviewing my friends & family perspectives. The ONLY issue we had was the crazy spice level of the Spicy Tuna Roll- that slow BURN will knock you out! Otherwise EVERYTHING, as always, was amazing & so was the service! The Cashew Chicken was very good, said my friend!!

We had a party of 4 for dinner on Friday, 6/7/24, at 5:30 pm. They have high chairs! But the high chair was a little too short for the tables outside. We sat outside and it was lovely. They have a giant menu, with Thai, sushi, ramen, and more. The staff was very nice! We all split the nachos and gyoza. I split the burrito roll and sushi donut with my husband. Here's what we got: - Spicy Tuna Nachos ($8.50): Tasted good, but the wontons were super fragile and broke whenever we tried to pick them up. - Fried Pork Gyoza ($5): Good! - Best of the Best Burrito Roll ($16): Tasty! - Salmon Donut ($8.50): Good deal! I liked how saucy it was. The presentation was fun. The food came out pretty quickly, but the donuts came out a lot later than our other dishes. Overall, pretty solid food and very reasonably priced! If we're in the area again, we would go back!

The food is really quite tasty. It is counter service which makes it casual. I like that sometimes. I had the ginger side salad. This was very delicious and large. I would get this again. The shrimp wonton soup is very good. I love their soft boiled eggs. They are made perfectly. I'm excited to try other things here.

While visiting family over the holidays, we stopped by for a a light bite before dinner. Service The staff was nice and was able to answer some inquiries about some of the vegetarian options. I'm vegan, so I appreciated they took the time to help me figure out the item that would work for me. Food I got the "Fried Tofu" and asked for it to be fried extra crispy. It came with a Thai chili and chopped peanuts sauce. It was a solid 3 stars out of 5. I was expecting the sauce to be more of a creamy, peanut sauce with their chili. I also thought the tofu would be tossed in the sauce. That was my own expectations though. Now that I know how it comes, I may not request it extra crispy. The tofu had a nice crunch on the outside with a little softness on the inside, but you really needed the sauce to give it the extra flavor. I would like to return and try out their other menu options. Especially the Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, and Pad See-Ew (my favorite Thai dish). Ambiance I loved how clean it was in there! They have an upstairs rooftop and a patio I would like to sit on in the warmer months.

Sweet Octopus is a great spot to try out if you're in downtown Duluth and want some good, affordable, and vegetarian friendly options in the area. A lot of other options nearby are outright inflated for what you get for the sake of being "in downtown" but Sweet Octopus has your average 10-15 dollar plates you'd expect. They offer a variety of different foods and they do some well and some not so well. When you go to a spot that does "a little bit of everything," they usually don't nail any of those things perfectly. Regardless, we enjoyed our meals and the food isn't bad. This time around, I ordered the tofu spicy basil fried rice which was definitely worth getting - it has that smokiness that you crave in some fried rices. It was delicious with generous portion sizes. My girlfriend tried some of the sushi and with it being her favorite food, she was a bit harsher on the critique and said it was all right. In the past, I've ordered their 1-up vegan ramen and their pad thai. While convenient, there are options nearby that blow these two out of the water with spots that specialize in Thai food and ramen bowls. If you're interested, feel free to send me a message and I can direct you accordingly or view my previous reviews. To summarize, Sweet Octopus is a decent choice for food if you're in the downtown area and don't want to spend an excessive amount of money in the nearby spots like Nacho Daddy or Dreamland. The food's good, the staff is kind, and it's a convenient spot for dinner or some treats.

Stopped by real quick with a friend who was looking for a snack and we ended up getting the fried tofu starter. It's just exactly how it sounds. Just fried tofu, no seasoning or anything but I do wish there was some salt on it. The sauce however was a BANGER. It was this thin sweet chili sauce with cucumber and crushed peanuts. It was the perfect flavor pop with the tofu. Perfect snack moment and with quick service. Love coming to this place!

Sushi and sushi burrito were definitely not something that blew me away but as expected I guess. I would pass on the tuna but the salmon and spicy tuna was good. Cool spot though with a lot of options in one spot. Ramen, sushi, sushi burritos, poke, appetizers, plus empanadas and açaí bowls upsta

Back again! And I got something other than a poke bowl! Finally got to try a burrito roll and it was so yum! I got the best of the best roll with a side of eel sauce. Very filling and the size of an actual burrito. The waiter compared it to eating two large sushi rolls and it was just that. Sweet Octopus will forever be a staple!

My husband and I were very excited to give Sweet Octopus a try as he is a huge ramen lover. We parked in the public lot across the street from the restaurant. Once you enter there are menus available on the wall near the door for your convenience and there are a plethora of options from ramen to sushi to Thai. The food hall is cozy but comfortably spacious in seating. Food and beverages are ordered at the cashier, you're given a number and then food is brought to your table. The service was very efficient and the staff was very kind. We ordered the miso ramen, Village classic ramen and fried pork gyoza. The fried pork gyoza was very good but both the miso and village classic ramen left much to be desired. The pork belly in the miso ramen was very tender but the overall dish lacked in flavor as well as the village classic. We plan to give Sweet Octopus another try and check out some of the other cuisine.

This was such a cute little spot. The sushi donuts were so tasty. The person that took our order was very helpful and gave us the full rundown on what was most popular dishes. We ordered the Duluth curry and chicken noodle, the dishes were very tasty. After we were done eating, we went upstairs for some bubble tea. I got the brown sugar and caramel mix bubble tea with coffee jellies. We we're definitely in a good coma afterwards.

All of the sushi items we got were 10/10 + 5 stars!! Delicious, fresh, and fun to eat! My daughter loved her California Roll and we housed two sushi donuts and spicy tuna nachos. My MIL looooved the chicken curry and the coconut shrimp was top notch. We didn't love the flavor of the chicken broth used for the ramen -- it had a strange underlying taste that was funky. The texture of the egg noodles, however, was amazing. L just the right amount of bite/chewiness. Outdoor seating wasn't super comfortable but the overall location is awesome. We will be back!!

I ordered the volcano roll and coconut shrimp. The roll was fresh and well made - it didn't fall apart when using chopsticks which happens at some places I've been to. The coconut shrimp was tasty but a bit over cooked. Portion sizes are on the smaller side which was fine with us because we also wanted to try to empanadas at the restaurant located on the upper level. This is a great place for a quick lunch or casual date, especially if you go during warmer months and sit outside or stroll around in the park afterwards.

Food here is not worth 4 starts as the others have rated. It is solid 2 stars considering everything: - Food: I ordered padthai and it was too salty and sweet. It was almost like they put a double amount of sauce or seasoning compared to other padthai dishes I've had at different restaurants. The lime that came with it was also so dry that it was almost like jerky where its edges were curled in. It was just not good at all overall. The only thing good was the portion of it which was a lot. - Service: Can't complain. Not too friendly, not too rude. - Ambiance & etc: Table was dirty where the soy sauce splashed everywhere. I think they just rely solely on previous customers to clean up after their meal. Table surface was sticky and things didn't feel organized and clean. Will I go back? Absolutely not.

I've been here before, and it was fine. Stopped in just to get a quick spring roll appetizer yesterday. The young girl behind the counter was not enthused at all to be there. She rolled her eyes at me several times, and when I asked a question she would point, not actually answering me. She was very curt with her one-word answers. I'm assuming she's working for her family or she absolutely hates her job. Very disappointing. Her energy was so negative. I don't know if I'll ever come back.

This is a good place to go for Thai food and rolls in Downtown Duluth. Parking and seating can be tricky in front of the restaurant. But if you are willing to take a nice stroll you can find plenty of parking. There is seating on the second floor and they will bring your food upstairs, it took a little bit of time to get our dishes but everything was hot, flavorful and tasty.

Second time I've ordered Uber Eats from here and not disappointed. I've had the Angry Zuko Ramen and the Miso Ramen, spicy, both are delicious. Uber Eats is pricey but nice if you have a coupon. The pot stickers are tasty as well with a bit of heat up. My knock is they give you half an egg for your ramen. I get it, soft boiled takes time, but give the full egg. Serving size is larger than most local Ramen places. You can use the soup to make a second bowl. But cmon with the egg!

I was in Atlanta during one of the coldest day of this year so far. So I wanted a strong and savory ramen. What better then a hot steaming soup on a cold snowy night? So I went to this place. Now I am so glad they are there and not the business before them which burned down do to most disgusting food ever. Anyways back to what's there now. I ordered the Asian salad and Angry asian I thin was the name. It was the pork broth with all sorts of toppings. Everything was really tasty and well seasoned and huge portions. BUT.... I am taking one star for something very important for me. Now you might not care but I do. It was not steaming hot. It was lukewarm and I personally can't stand warm soup. Especially this kind of soups. But other than that, it's a five star food for sure. See for yourself in the pictures.

Nothing super special about this place. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable either. Everything came out a little on the lukewarm side, which was disappointing to me because I expect fresh and hot food. My sister ordered the drunken noodles and complained that the noodles were overly spicy. I had a bite and could see why she'd think that. The miso ramen broth was fine, but again it was lukewarm.

Empanadas never took off the way the donut and cupcake trends did, but if you're in to it, this is the best of breed. The weather is getting better everyday. Come hang out on the balcony and watch drunk people stumble. Downtown Duluth is getting slept on. No one really has Avalon money. Come have fun with the middle.

Great spot to grab some bubble tea while walking around downtown Duluth or to grab a meal. I ordered the soymate tofu bowl for a late lunch. I was starving after a long day and devoured the whole thing. Liked the sauce along with the veggies in the bowl. It was a large filling portion. The place was clean and not too crowded downstairs. It can get busier upstairs where the bubble tea and empanadas are.

What a cool concept 4 restaurants in one Thai, sushi and noodles Upstairs is empanadas restaurant-Yummy Big menu- will come back Order at counter, get a number.

Plenty of free party around downtown and fun on Friday evening Will come back

We came here on a Saturday for lunch and it was pretty empty. The weather was great so we sat outside in one of their many outdoor tables in the shade. It was good people watching and has a nice downtown vibe. There is so much on the menu including poke, thai, and ramen. Upstairs, which I wasn't able to tell if it is a separate restaurant, are empanadas. We got the build your own poke and it was a decent size. Everything was fresh and the selection of toppings was superb. We also got the build your own ramen and again, it was a good sized bowl with a good selection of toppings. Both were perfect for the kids! I got a Best of the Best sushi burrito for my meal and it was good, but fell apart too easily and ended up being a bit of a mess to eat. All that said, I would recommend this place for families or groups as they have a nice variety to suit everyone's wants.

There is some street parking available right by the store, or you can park by the park and walk. It's right in downtown Duluth, so there is quiet a few different restaurants and stores to walk to. Staff all wore masks. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Indoor there is an downstairs and upstairs. Upstairs primarily serves drinks. We had a to go order since we wanted to enjoy the weather and eat in the park. Thai fried rice: it was just average, bordering on the lacking flavor side. Wouldn't recommend. Shrimp roll: nice crisp and good flavor. Definitely eat it while it's still warm! Demogorgon Burrito Roll: very flavored and slightly spicy. All the ingredients taste very fresh. Be prepared to take big bites! Beef empanadas: it's a no go for me. Did not like the flavor. Only took 2 bites, wouldn't recommend. Thai tea (no picture): tasted like a Thai tea, would recommend! Would be curious to come back a try their ramen.

Holy Goodness this place is the BEST!!! You gotta go!! I seriously cannot believe they do so many cuisines so well! It's magic! Their Super Poke Bowl is incredible, the Pork Ramen is amazing, and the calamari is freaking delicious too! My friends had their empanadas and said they were awesome too! I have a feeling every single thing on this menu is magnificent. I'm actually kinda hard to please with all of these cuisines and they were all so delicious! We just moved to Duluth and this will definitely be a staple for us from now on! Yay yay! Service is excellent. And the ambiance is fun!

This was my first time in the downtown Duluth area and it's such a cute town. So many food options to choose from and I made a fantastic choice by coming to Sweet Octopus. Fast service and delicious! Not a bite left to take home. Serving size was on point. It's also rare to find a place that has a variety of bubble tea along with great food - many times it's one or the other. I was mostly glad that I could find both here. The calamari and coconut shrimp were perfection and awesome appetizer options. This location has covered outdoor seating with fans. It is perfectly positioned on a corner for people watching.

I had the super poke bowl all salad no rice. It was amazing. You order at the counter and it's very easy. The food was prepared quickly and brought out to your table.

I'm always a little skeptical about Asian fusion places but this one hit the spot! The poke had so much fish and was absolutely delicious - definitely hit the spot on a very hot summer day. My partner also really enjoyed the ramen, which he says was extremely flavorful :)

Unfortunately, the poke at this place was quite average. It didn't have the fresh taste that I was hoping for, and the bowl size was disappointingly small for the unreasonably high price. There's plenty of seating at the establishment, and it's located at a very lively area. The combination of flavors was a bit confusing and didn't quite hit the spot. It's just not what I was looking for in a poke bowl. As a result, I'm not sure if I'll return to this restaurant in the future. If you're looking for an authentic poke experience, this might not be the best spot for you.

Bob C.

Yelp
Minimal service and plain inside, you order at the register and pay upfront, but the patio area is very nice with a beautiful view overlooking the Duluth green space. The serving portions for their Various ramen noodle selections are large, perhaps too large. They come in a large bowl with a good amount of liquid base (of your choice) and plenty of noodles and meat and vegetables of your choosing. I have a good appetite but it was too much for me. I would prefer a smaller portion at a reduced cost, although the price is still reasonable. The meat chunks should be smaller and cut in smaller bites. It makes it more difficult to eat. Delicious chicken and veggies. Overall a good experience and I recommend the place for their Asian fusion food.

I've ordered take-out & dined inside Sweet Octopus. The food was fresh & delicious. It can get a bit pricey for just an entree & it doesn't come with a side or drink. If you're a sushi lover you have to try this place. I recommend the sushi burrito & poke bowls. I've added double meat to my poke bowl & found it was too much for me. There's inside & outside seating to look over Duluth Green.

Food: 5/10 Presentation: 10/10 Service: 10/10 The poke bowl just tasted weird. I got Land of The Sea (something along those lines) and it came with strips of fried chicken and shrimp tempura. The presentation was amazing and it looked absolutely phenomenal, but the taste was just eh. Not impressed at all. By itself, I think the chicken and shrimp tempura would've been fine but combined with everything else inside the bowl, made it taste weird. There was no flavor to anything else. My boyfriend had the same thoughts for the Miso Ramen. It came out lukewarm and the noodles were a bit soggy to begin. We also tried the açai bowl and it wasn't terrible but it was a bit watery. I like the idea of how this place is fusion and offers a lot of dishes (even bubble tea), but the taste isn't on par with other places that also serve ramen, poke, açai, etc.

Sweet Octopus is an Asian Fusion restaurant located in Downtown Duluth. Plenty of seatings indoor & outdoor (preferably). Save room for snacks & desserts bc Empanada House is located right upstairs. The Spicy Tuna Nachos is BOMB!!! Prob. One of the best I've had so far w/ all those consistent flavors!!! I also liked the Fig & Mascarpone Empanada for dessert!! Mascarpone is an Italian cream cheese & OMG all that goodness squirted in my mouth!! Haha The beef Empanada was pretty good & juicy as well. We also ordered the Angry Zuko Noodles, Shrimp Pad Thai, Pulled Pork Empanada & Kungfu Rrito Roll. It was just alright, nothing I would come back for. It's weird but I actually liked the Angry Zuko Ramen more when it was delivered. LOL Love their packaging & how they separated the noodles & the soup. The noodles were still good the next day. Overall, I'll def come back again. Love the environment as well. (:

Overpriced now with tiny portions and Not great service as the cashier gave me an attitude and look. The way she so rudely tossed my change in my hands, I don't want to ever come back. That's why I always tip now after the service but bad service = no tip. Their burritos are the size of egg rolls and more pricey. Before you know it they'll be sushi taquitos. There are better options to check out like wow poke and juice and Lawrenceville and Pokeworks in Peachtree corners
