PaoPao Ramen Factory & BoBa

I used to love eating here, but recently the ramen has gone kind of downhill. The simply chicken used to have so much flavor and had me stopping here to eat every week, now we only eat here once in a blue moon and when we do we’re disappointed. It’s like they cut cost and took away 50% of the flavor, but still charge more than they used to. Probably won’t be eating here again sadly :(

I ordered ramen via UberEats from this place. I got ramen with chicken katsu. Even though I knew the chicken was stale I proceeded to eat it which i utterly regret. Something also didn’t taste right about the noddles. It was the only thing i ate that day and within 2 hours i was sick all night and the next day. It wasn’t even authentic ramen. I won’t be returning.

I will be back.

I was having a bad day and then they gave me my boba fruit tea with a Hello Kitty top on it

First time trying this place, and I had the calmest dining experience ever. I was seated within 30 seconds of walking through the door, and the server was very attentive throughout the whole experience. Aside from that, the portion and taste of my food was amazing. Safe to say that I’ll be back!

I have no idea how this place has above 4 star for reviews. This place was terrible.

My husband and I went here for a late lunch on a Wednesday and the place was near empty besides 1 or 2 people at any given time. We sat and waited for our order to be taken, only to realize that all 4 workers at the establishment were doing nothing but standing behind the bar and one waiter actually sitting at the bar.

When we finally got our orders taken, I mentioned I had a pepper allergy (black and white pepper is the only exception) and the waiter told me that the ramen I wanted could only come in mild, medium, or spicy. That was until my husband asked what make the ramen spicy (i.e. the broth, chili paste in it, or the meat) and the waiter didn’t give us a direct answer as to what make the ramen spicy. My husband then asked if they could just substitute the broth and our order was finally placed.

Our food arrived and it looked fantastic. Presentation was 10/10. However, the taste was not what should have been expected. The egg texture was mushy, like it had been sitting in soy sauce until near degradation, the noodles were soggy and definitely did not taste fresh (kinda like premade store bought noodles) they only gave me 2 bok choy leaves on the side, the corn tasted like they were straight out of the can, the beef and the pork ribs were incredibly salty. So much so my husband had to spit it out. The broth was also extremely watery, basically water with some sesame oil on top. The green beans were good though, roasted very well. We also got the fried pork wrap which was actually just fried pork belly on top of some lettuce (not even wrapped) with some salt on it and no other flavor present.

We didn’t even bother to finish the first few sips of ramen, got the check, paid and left. The staff didn’t ask what they could improve on or what we didn’t like about it. $60 for the both of us wasted. Heed my warning: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.

Like the food and ambience but hope the lunch special comes with a soft drink or soup considered the price (or at least make it cheaper to order a boba tea with the meal). Spending over $20 (not including tax and tips) for eating lunch alone on a weekday seems a little bit much.😆

Great spot! There's a lil fountain in front and a spot for cornhole. The staff were great and friendly, table was a little sticky but fine. The broth was perfect! Not too salty and not underseasoned didnt take too long to be made the only complaint I had was the meat serving we barely had any only bits other than that if ever I find myself in the area im sure to stop by.

Came here for my birthday visiting georgia and I have to say this is the best ramen I had in a while.

Great experience

I will say that I did not enjoy the ramen, for which this restaurant is known for. I ordered the Tonkatsu Black. I would expect the soup itself to be rich and black, but it was closer to a clear broth / miso soup without much flavor. The noodles have the consistency of store bought ramen, and the there are too many vegetables in the soup.

My partner ordered the chicken teriyaki dish, which was a bit better, but nothing to rave about.

The price is high for what is offered, I'd recommend going to a better known ramen shop in Atlanta overall.
