    Got the zaru udon and one of the modern udons. We also ordered appetizers, we got the potstickers and the chicken karage. I really enjoyed the udon! It was so chewy and fresh. The tempura was also great. The sauce for the tempura could've been a little saltier but it was very refreshing. The dumplings coudlve been a little crispier but the purple cabbage was unique. The karage was a little oily. Overall the service was really nice. I also enjoyed the small mom and pop shop feel to it. Will definitely be back to try the soup ramens in the winter.

    Carbonara udon

    Viral Japanese Carbonara Udon in Metro Atlanta Why fly to Japan to wait 3 hours in line for udon carbonara when we have it in Metro Atlanta ? Udon Shin Shibuya or Menchirashi Harajuku doesn't have anything on this spot IYKYK. Hands down best udon and tempura in the Atlanta area. I see why ya'll are keeping this place a secret, Atlanta... All of the noodles are perfectly toothsome and never too startchy at this must-try. Definitely in the top 3 best noodles in Metro Atlanta. The tempura at this shop is by far my favorite in the area. Light, crispy, and never too oily. Using the freshest Japanese style ingredients, like; okra オクラ , kabocha カボチャ , and shiitake 椎茸 . The unassuming cafe setup, kind Japanese staff, and SHOCKINGLY LOW PRICES are why I would consider this noodle shop massively underrated. Do yourself a favor and eat here. As someone that visits Japan annually just to create food content, I could not recommend this local spot for an authentic Japan experience. 1 うどんカルボナーラ Udon Carbonara $15 2 Purple Kari Kari Gyoza $5 Lacey gyoza 3 天ぷら Assorted Tempura $7 includes fried shrimp 4 稲庭うどん Inaniwa Udon $8 - Thinner, flatter udon. Amazing slippery texture. 5 Circle Q Cucumber pickles with ume ( plum ) frangrance.

    A hidden gem of a restaurant and incredibly deserving of five stars. If I could give them more stars, I would. Upon walking in I was greeted by a kind and attentive server. She immediately brought me water and a menu. She also graciously answered my questions on different soup bases and ensured my glass of ice cold water was refilled consistently throughout the meal. I ended up ordering the agedashi tofu appetizer and the soft shell crab udon for my entree. The tofu appetizer was a perfect way to start off my meal - lightly fried, and served with delicious sauce. My entree came shortly after. The noodles were cooked to perfection, the portion was well worth the price, and the soft shell crab packed the entire dish with flavor. The interior is cozy and they have limited seating. I'm excited to return and try all the other udon options!

    If you want enjoy authentic Japanese food, you will love circle noodle. When I saw the reviews, I was a bit swayed but wanted to try this place anyways since I truly enjoy circle sushi and circle sushi h. The food did not disappoint. The agedashi tofu's broth was so flavorful and the tofu batter was new. The tofu's texture was good. The shrimp tempura was so good. The quality of the shrimp is good. The broth for the udon was light, yet VERY flavorful. The beef was super tender. The ambiance is very cozy and the service was fast considering we were first. If you are in the area and are looking for yummy lunch please go here. Next time we will come in again and order more tempura bc it's so addicting!

    Cozy hidden Japanese udon restaurant in Roswell. At first I thought it was something like Marugame udon but it's not. They offer more than the traditional udon, but fusion dishes. Love the cold Bukkake udon in Japanese styles. This one is very refreshing and comforting especially in the summer. Cold udon just done right, cold and chewy. Pescatore is a modern fusion Italian seafood udon. Interesting but I guess it's my least favor. The homemade tomato sauce can be a little thicker and umami to bring out the flavor. Also the udon is overcooked, it became too soft and loose the al dente. Assorted tempuras are standard. I like all assorted vegetables and shrimp tempuras. Purple Kari Kari gyozas are something not so usual. Purple cabbage with ground pork, nicely wrapped and fried.

    Este lugar me hace sentir como en casa de mi abuela, la comida,el ambiente del lugar y el servicio al cliente son cosas muy importantes las cuales ellos tienen.

    Back again for lunch. It did not disappoint! We got the udon with assorted vegetables and gyoza.

    Zenbu Udon ($15) - all toppings
    Michael K.

    We had high hopes for Circle Noodle. The Zenbu Udon, which comes with everything, looked kinda meh. It came with a bunch of different types of karaage, which were a bit bland and not worth it. The udon was bland as well. They were understaffed, which made ordering and getting our food take a long time. For the two of us, it took over an hour to order and eat our food. I'd stick with their more traditional udon noodles rather than their karaage ones.

    Okra and Assorted Tempura
    Caroline K.

    We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was well balanced and cooked properly. Unless you are familiar with Japanese or Japanese fusion cuisine, this place may seem bland or just "okay"...but then all Japanese cuisine should be boring to you. Their dishes are about balance and simplicity of flavors. Proper cooking/prepping techniques...Nothing will be overly salted or packed full of spices and heat...you're not going to leave overly stuffed and needing a nap. That is the point of the cuisine-balance and attention to details. The place was clean and wait staff was attentive. The AC was not able to keep up with the heat of the day and all the heat from cooking-that was my only negative about the place. The Tempura was crispy and the batter was super light. Shrimp and crab were fresh-not briny at all. The okra was our favorite, but the squash and eggplant weren't too far behind. Kakuni Udon-The pork belly is braised until it basically falls apart, the broth is slightly smokey and slightly sweet...noodles were cooked perfectly. Pescatore-All of the seafood was fresh, the sauce was light but packed with flavor. Veggies were tender and soaked up the broth...This was probably my favorite dish in terms of flavor and variety over the course of eating it. Zenbu Udon-Simple and understated. This dish isn't going to wow you or punch you in the face with flavor. The ingredients are as they should be, so if you are looking for a break from all the spice and heat and just want to enjoy simplicity-this is your udon. Dumplings were cooked properly and the chili oil that came along side it was not a variety I'd had before, but ended up getting more and ate it with everything else. This veggie dumpling was a nice break from the meat filled dumplings we are so used to eating. Little on the plain side-but I enjoyed them.

    Zaru Inaniwa Udon
    Tina H.

    Def was worth the trek for us from ITP for some solid udon. Reminds me of udon from Japan actually! -Purple Kari Kari Gyoza: really unique and on the soft side on the inside -Zaru Inaniwa Udon: perfect dish for the summer! The Inaniwa udon was a great texture, consistency, and thinness! -Assorted tempura: solid, standard tempura -Niku udon: this was a huge portion! Beef was tender and the flavor was clean

    Soft shell crab udon
    Y Yelp Y.

    ***FOOD: Great Food. Tasty & Different. Soft Shell Crab-absolutely amazing, Chicken Cutlet Don (Oyako Don)- just the way I remember it when I was young juicy chicken over rice with sauce & mixed in egg major comfort food moment, zenbu-delish, purple kari kari gyoza - this was a little different for us but it was good-ok, hanjuku tomago tempura - so light and mouthwateringly good ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $ $ mains from $12-16 Ok cost ***DÉCOR: wood everywhere, very japanese homey feel, accent with circle art ***SERVICE: older lady server, attentive and friendly, food came out pretty fast ***RECOMMEND: Would Recommend and would definitely go back if we're in the area

    The only problem about this amazing small restaurant is that they are not open 24/7! It's great, the food is amazing, the lady hosting and serving is the kindest, what else?? Oh yes, prices are absolutely fair! This is true food! Authentic Japanese! Here are some more pics! Give Circle Noodle a try you won't regret it!

    Absolutely my favorite Japanese noodle shop in the whole state of Georgia! From the delicious consistent authentic Japan dishes to the impeccable and accommodating wait service this place is a 10/10. The lady who works there is so nice and knows me everytime when I come in and makes me feel like family. It gets quite busy on the weekends and they are only open for lunch so better get there early. The ambiance is very pleasant and it's a great place to go for lunch with friends or alone you will never leave hungry and without spending an arm and a leg.

    Ask the Community - Circle Noodle

    Are they closed permanently?

    No! But their hours have changed and are somewhat limited.

    Where are the noodles made?

    The udon noodles are made in-house.

    Are reservations recommended? How is the wait on the weekend?

    I think they do take reservations. We went on a Saturday at 5:00 and it wasn't busy, but the place became full within the hour. However, that's not hard to do because it's a small place.

    Do they serve beer or sake?

    the resturant is byob, theyll provide glasses and bottle openers

    Are there any vegan options @Circle Noodle? I so hope so!

    They use fish broth in all their ramen bowls. :-(

    Are there any gluten-free items on the menu? (question for a friend)

    I think there are very few gluten-free items since most of Circle Noodle's menu is comprised of udon. Udon is a wheat flour noodle. You might be able to eat some of their apps like agedashi tofu or edadame, but it'd be difficult to get full from…

This is not your typical sushi restaurant as evident from its long sushi bar to its upstairs private booths. We were one of the first to arrive for a weekday happy hour and enjoyed trying various sushi, miso cod, and cold Japanese beer. We wish that frenetic Lily's was not the next sushi exploration stop on our progressive activity as we were spoiled by Edo's tranquil environment and quality food at Edo. The hamachi kama yaki was a lovely presentation of a very large grilled collar. Our request to modify the orange blossom roll for regular tuna instead of spicy tuna and no mayo was not a problem either. The jalapeno yellow tail roll was generous portion and again- hold the mayo please! Very pleasant and non rushed service. Only odd note were the photos on the menu- guess that was needed before diners became more familiar with the cuisine. Plenty of parking in its private parking lot in the N. Point shopping area. Looking forward to our next visit!

The sushi rolls were made with rice that looked more like brown rice than traditional white sushi rice. When we asked our server about it, he explained that it was "caramelized rice" prepared with vinegar. Whatever the process was, it completely distorted the flavor of the rolls. The food also looked nothing like the photos, and the portions were surprisingly small. My lychee martini tasted like a lemon-drop martini and had to be returned and remade twice. Overall, the food and drinks simply were not good. For a Japanese restaurant, the quality and flavor of the sushi were especially disappointing. We would not return.
