Okiboru Ramen & Tsukemen Buford

Some of the best ramen in the entire Metro Atlanta area. Multiple locations. We have tried them all. Nothing beats this one.

Great Tsukemen. We had it for the first time in Japan earlier this year and could not believe we found it again in Buford!! Tasted very authentic.

I strongly advise against wasting your money at this establishment. The value for the price is subpar, and there are far superior ramen options in the area.
The portion size is disappointingly small, and the ingredients used are not typical of a traditional ramen experience. Notably absent are common additions like sprouts, bok choy, radish, or corn. Furthermore, the noodles served were angel hair spaghetti, which is not authentic ramen.
For a truly satisfying and affordable ramen experience, I recommend visiting Pao Pao Ramen down the street. They take pride in making their noodles fresh in-house, providing generous portions that justify the cost.

Yummy! Stopped here for a bowl of tofu ramen. The tofu was so flavorful! The broth was delicious and soothing. Great service and atmosphere, clean and tidy, no bad smells.

Food and drinks were 5 out of 5 it did not disappoint!

Food is amazing. I've been to other locations and the food never disappoints. Service was highly lacking and they weren't even busy when we went. Waiters hardly ever make eye contact. They'll walk past your table several times without offering to fill your clearly empty drinks. And then they cop an attitude after you try waving them down for refills.

This place was just okay. The food was a bit bland. I did not like the dumplings 🥟 they tasted like frozen dumplings I could get at a grocery store. The ponzu sauce was not good. The ramen was decent but the broth was too oily. The ramen eggs were bland. I would expect to pay about $40 for what we got. It was almost $100. Not worth the money in my opinion. I probably won’t go back.

Just okay. Visited mid August after seeing the great reviews. Got the Brussels and fried gyoza to start - both tasted good but could have been cooked longer. The gyoza seemed plastic-y. For entrees, got the truffle ramen and tonkotsu ramen, and neither had much flavor. Maybe would try a spicier option next time. Otherwise, service was quick and attentive, and environment was great.

I had such a pleasant experience with this place! I was looking for something to grab after work and settled on Okiboru and i’m very glad I did, the girl that helped me at the front was so sweet and my food only took about 10 or so minutes for togo. The food is also amazing, I got the tonkatsu ramen with udon noodles and it’s definitely a new favorite.

This place is not my first choice for ramen within fifteen minute drive of here, but if you are stuck at the mall, it's better than the other medicore chain restaurants around.

The ramen was great! No complaints. Gave a 4 star review because y’all need a baby changing table! It’s insane not to have one. Are families with children not welcome??
