Arita Ramen & Sushi | Buford, GA If you're a salmon lover, this spot might be your next obsession ! We finally checked out Arita Ramen & Sushi and here's everything we tried Salmon Flight (recommend ) 6 pieces of salmon nigiri with evenly thick cuts and beautiful marbling. The texture was incredibly fresh, buttery, and had that rich, creamy finish. Sushi Guoba (recommend) Not on the menu, special. I expected something crispy, but it's actually more like a soft rice cake texture (not chewy). Topped with avocado + spicy tuna, super unique. Beef Shank Ramen Comes with 4 thick cuts of tender marinated beef shank in a rich bone broth. Flavorful and comforting, but I did notice a slightly sweet aftertaste, found it to be weird. BOGO Sushi Deal Rocky Shrimp was our favorite. The eel roll wasn't really for us. Chicken Hibachi Solid and the yum yum sauce was extra thick (which we loved). Yuzu Sake (recommend) Light, citrusy, and super refreshing , highly recommend if you like fruity drinks. read more

We came here after seeing a movie at the IMAX nearby and wanted a quick dinner on our way home There were 3 of us & we got Bogo $20 rolls & BOGO $17 rolls & one nuka sashimi platter That was plenty of food for 3 people, slightly less would've prob been more comfortable tbh. They gave huge pieces of sashimi and a variety of cuts but I wasn't a fan of a few of them so would probably just do a la carte next time but the presentation was so cute. Flashing lights & dry ice smoke Their menu is huge with a vast selection so take your time to go through it lol the rolls start to sound the same after awhile and they all have interesting names The inside is bigger than it looks outside and service was prompt Plenty of parking outside read more

Arita - Buford, GA Cherry blossom Japanese-style ambiance that feels soft, intimate, and aesthetic -- perfect for a romantic date night. The sushi is fresh and buttery, truly melt-in-your-mouth quality. The food presentation is beautiful and thoughtfully plated -- every dish looks as good as it tastes. The ramen is authentic with a rich, slow-simmered broth and perfectly cooked noodles -- comforting and full of depth. Their drinks are delicious and strong -- perfectly balanced but definitely not watered down. Service was warm, attentive, and welcoming -- they really make you feel taken care of. Their BOGO ($20, $17, $11 options) makes it even sweeter. Quality, presentation, service, and value all in one spot. read more

I was so impressed with this sushi spot! The sushi was affordably priced 11$ for 12 pieces of veggie sushi. The sake had lots of variety including my favorite the strawberry! We also tried the mango sake which was tasty too. Nice ambiance and great service! For two bottles of sake and 4 types of rolls it was 60$ plus tip. Can't be beat! Nice quality of food! read more

Great decor, delcious sushi rolls, and great service. What more could you ask for? Oddly we weren't served soy sauce or wasabi. Not sure if this was intended. read more

Buy 1 get 1?!! Say less -- we were in immediately. I ordered the Yazuka roll and another one with shrimp tempura (the name escapes me), but the Yazuka... wow. Absolutely incredible. We also split the bao. It was decent, nothing mind‑blowing. Service was solid. Our server checked on us often, and since we came during a slower time, everything came out fast. No complaints there. Menu option is pretty wide & so gotta be something for everyone! read more

The decor is beautiful and they play upbeat music. The service was excellent, even with an almost full restaurant. I ordered the shrimp shumai as an appetizer and the shoyu ramen, not spicy. There were so many noodles in the ramen and the pork was extremely tender! I was very full. Both items were delicious and warmed me up on a cold winter's day. Will definitely go back! read more

What a gem! We went to check out them out after driving by a few times and wondering how it is. Boy oh boy were we in for a treat! My partner is a huge sushi fan and while I'm allergic to seafood, ramen is my favorite food. At Arita, we can both get what we want without having to sacrifice quality of either. Their sushi rolls are BOGO, they have tempura vegetables and many vegetarian and vegan options. The food is always fresh and you can watch the chefs make the sushi from your table. The servicing sizes are pretty large and even the appetizers are pretty sizable. The restaurant is very clean, spacious and very well decorated. The staff is always friendly and answer any questions you have. We love it so much that we've planned my birthday dinner there next month! read more

BOGO sushi rolls? Yes please! AND delicious Ramen? AND pretty pink decor everywhere?? There's even a sink outside of the bathrooms for folks who just want to wash hands and not have to go into the bathroom (which was so convenient). I also loved that they put their soy sauce in cute containers that reminded me of little tea canisters. My husband and I arrived after 1 pm on a Wednesday and we were able to order and receive our food quickly. We got the Mango Tango roll and the Baller roll and we honestly were surprised at the freshly sliced jalapeños on top of them. A lot of the time at other places, it's just pickled jalapeño and not spicy at al. We split a bowl of the Shoyu ramen and were brought 2 bowls to divide it. It tasted very good and it felt so nice on such a chilly, windy day. read more

My husband and I have been wanting to try this place out for a date night. I'm so glad we did because we really enjoyed this place. You don't find many places that serve ramen and sushi in the same place and if they do there isn't much of a selection when it comes to the sushi. But Arita has a variety of sushi items on their menu to choose from which we loved. Their specialty sushi was BOGO for $17.00 and their other sushi options were BOGO for $11.00. The restaurant was packed which let me know we were at the right place. We were seated immediately upon emerging and got the last booth that was available. It took about 8 mins for us to be checked in and asked for our drink order. My husband and I started off with their gyoza. It took a while to get to the table and once it did it wasn't hot like expected. It was more lukewarm. We ordered two orders of sushi: spicy tuna roll and their Spider-Man roll. We also ordered two orders of ramen. It took at least 15 mins before our food came out but was worth the wait. My husband ordered the Shoyu ramen and I ordered plain ramen and added bok choy, bean sprouts and a soft boiled egg. I really loved how you can customize your ramen dish. My husband and I really enjoyed our ramen. We really enjoyed the chili oil for spice because most ramen restaurants serve hot sauce or a paste with their ramen. We ordered the hibachi chicken with steamed rice for our little one and he enjoyed it. Our server Showtina was very nice and attentive. We were pleased with this restaurant as our date night choice in the New Year and we will definitely be back. read more

Arita never disappoints. I went with the Tiger and Volcano rolls; might've had them before, but when they hit this good, why change it up? Fresh, flavorful top-tier sushi and I'm hooked every time. If you haven't been here yet, fix that. If you have, you already know. Next time, trying more sushi is a must there's way too much on this menu I still need to explore Atmosphere and service always 11/10 read more

The food was absolutely amazing. We came with a large group and all had separate checks -- and the servers never gave us any problems. We had a small hiccup with our order just due to a communication error, but it was quickly fixed. We absolutely loved it and we will be back soon! read more

The ambiance is super cute! Nice place for a quick date night & big enough for large families. I had the tuna amazing sushi roll & captain crunch and they were very fresh ! Amazing Tuna amazing was my favorite !! Nothing about my roll tasted slimy. The service was quick & the staff was friendly. It was empty when we dined here, but it's because they are fairly new in town ! Give them a try, you won't regret it!! read more

Food was disappointing. The service was good at least. The ambiance is great, but it was quite stuffy when we were there. Thankfully the air conditioning finally came on after about 20 minutes. I want to like this place. I don't recommend the hibachi or the Katsu. read more

Super underrated for sushi! Their deals are amazing, very kind staff & pretty atmosphere. I love the Crazy Salmon Roll I get it every time, and my sister loves the Philadelphia. The takoyaki & yellowtail hand rolls are also delicious. Would highly recommend read more

I have no idea why this place is not more popular. Sushi is awesome and great drinks. Oh and the entire sushi menu is BOGO!

Great spot. Lots of space and seating for large parties. The staff was very nice. They have a few good deals on their menu. So we ended up getting two sushi dishes. They were very good! So looking for good Japanese food come here. The only thing was service to get the food was a little slow. read more

Service is fast & friendly. Prices are reasonable. Food was delicious and they have the Japanese sodas that my daughter loves. I had the curry w/pork. Daughter had sushi & ramen and loved it. Brought an avocado salad home for my wife. It was good but kind of small for $10. Pork bao had (I think) roast loin. Pork belly would be much better imo. We'll be back. read more

Very disappointing experience. I understand now why the place is so empty. The ramen is mediocre and pricey. The spring rolls were slimey and left a bad after taste. The sushi smelled funny, so I was afraid to eat it. I didn't even take a bite. They never asked why I didn't eat it, or why we only at one of the spring rolls. They just cleared the table with no questions or any show of concern. We paid more the full bill and had to leave to go elsewhere to eat. I didn't want to be rude, so I just paid the bill and won't ever go back. read more

The food was sooo tasty and the servers were extremely hospitable and attentive. We're definitely coming back and bringing friends. Loved the ambiance!!! read more

Food, service, and lychee martinis were amazing. Portions are huge and sushi was fresh and delicious.

Stopped by this new spot to check it out. And I was incredibly impressed. It's been months since I've had a good meal out somewhere. We obviously had some questions about how good this place could be since it was so new.. and 10 out of 10 would recommend this spot. The pork katsu bowl is DELICIOUS, the fried rice is top notch, it has so much flavor my jaw hit the floor when I tried it. I got a small side of just the tired rice because holy s#*t so good. Then we got the pork bao buns, and I loved them so much as the appetizer, I ended up ordering that as my entree. Hot, flavorful, and overall amazing. The shrimp tempura sushi was fresh, crunchy, and beautifully plated as there is soy on the table already. All of that for $50!!!! Please try this place if you're looking for a new date night spot, service was great as well. As we staggered ordered, the server was attentive to empty dishes. 10/10 will be back read more

Arita has only been open a month, but my family went and the food was great! The decor was really cute. The service was perfect as we wanted our sons to try a variety of things, so they gave us recommendations and kept a check on us without being pushy. One son likes spicy and even said the Yakuza was really spicy (he never admits this), but he loved his sushi. I loved the Rainbow Roll and cute presentation. The Unagi pieces were really big! My younger son doesn't care for sushi (yet) and really liked the Hibachi. Dad had a Ramen bowl made to order, which came in a huge bowl and he couldn't eat it all. Lots of appetizers and sides. If you're a novice, the menu has pictures of everything and a full description for every item. The owner came by and was super nice to talk to. We will definitely go back. read more
