“ Best ramen in Gwinnett county! Great service always. It's in walking distance to shops downtown & convenient parking lots all around. ”
“ The Uncle Iroh roll is crackdelicous food for good prices. Great customer service & I love the atmosphere. Perfect spot to visit on a sunny day especially since it's located at the center. Highly recommended place! ”
“ Been here a few times now, and food has always been good, fresh, and flavorful!! Plenty of tables to sit at, enough menu items to choose from (sushi burritos, sushi donuts, ramen, thai...), within a reasonable price with their portions. Staff is always friendly, and is a perfect place for lunch when you're in downtown Duluth!! ”
“ Located Downtown Duluth, it's a good place to eat when you're in the area and need a quick bite. There are menus at the door when you walk in, and you choose a free table to sit at, either upstairs (Empanada House) or downstairs (Sweet Octopus), before going to the counter and placing an order. You'll be given a number, and they'll bring your food out when it's ready. Food is served relatively quick and tasted pretty good. I love fried shallots, and I was happy with my Pokebowl for that reason. I do remember having eaten here previously and finding the ramen lackluster, which influences my review now, but the Pokebowl was filling and tasty. It's kinda funny how my friends and I have been here on different occasions, forgot all about it until hanging out here, and we each remember the ramen being meh. ”

Shrimp Rolls - Light, fresh, and the perfect little bite to start with. Chicken Empanada - Crispy, golden perfection with juicy, flavorful chicken inside.

“ 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! ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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!! ”
