    Bulgogi and the traditional beef empanada
    Dana O.

    I've been here many times for empanadas and the menu has grown so much over the years and so have their empanadas. These empanadas have a great chewy texture in addition to the crunch that is flaky and really yummy. overtime, they've gotten smaller (which is understandable) but the recipe for the bulgogi is different too based on my and other's experiences. They are $4.75 and about 4 inches wide. I usually get 3 to share which is good for a small meal/appetizer for me. We mix and match with food from sweet octopus downstairs often! My usual go tos are the pulled pork and the bulgogi one. I noticed the bulgogi one tasted differently this time, more minced and in a sweet sauce. I preferred the texture and taste of it before better because it tasted more like bulgogi texture and taste wise but now I can't tell it's bulgogi. If you like sweet flavors, that one may be a good fit for you. The traditional beef is more balanced in comparison with boiled eggs and olives inside- unique and tasty. the pulled pork comes with a delish guava sauce that we really like! Love that there's a lot of seating upstairs where the empanada house is located and lots of bubble tea and acai bowls. Food comes out relatively quickly within 10 minutes! I've always had good customer service too.

    The bubble tea at this place was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. The ambiance was enhanced by the lovely music playing in the background. I ordered a 24 oz. Thai tea with coffee jelly and it was amazing. My only criticism would be that the coffee jelly could have had a stronger flavor, and I wish there was less ice as I felt like I only got a few sips before it was finished.

    Impossible Empanada New Size
    Riya P.

    Right above Sweet Octopus, have to go inside and up the stairs! The upstairs seating and balcony is always quiet and has a really nice view of the town center. They serve different empanadas, boba, smoothies and milkshakes upstairs. I ordered the impossible empanada which was $5 and this is what it came out looking like. It was much smaller than what I thought and was just really underwhelming. There was no sort of seasoning or really any flavor from the empanada at all, it was just the typical impossible burger flavor put inside of the flaky empanada dough. Would not recommend getting this particular empanada, maybe the other types are better! Everyone working there were super friendly and the vibes were just chill.

    Empanadas cooked to perfection

    First time at this spot and the food was AMAZING. The bulgogi empanada was my favorite. They offer a couple of sauces that complement these so well. I definitely recommend their smoothies as well they're delicious. It's a nice comfortable atmosphere with a small patio for seating! Food was so yummy I'll be back for more!

    Hawaiian Empanada

    I was in town for a conference and ordered Door Dash. My food came really quick and was still warm. I, however, could not finish my food. I ordered the Hawaiian and the bulgogi. Both were so bad. The bulgogi was too sweet, and the Hawaiian the flavors just did not mesh. Unfortunately I had to spend money and buy more food.

    We've come to Sweet Octopus for Poke Bowls & Sushi Burritos & they've been delicious. Today we tried the empanada restaurant located upstairs. They just remodeled. The place looks fresh & has comfortable seating inside & outside. The register/ server was pleasant to talk to & gave us her recommendations of the most popular empanadas. We opted to sit outside since the weather was beautiful. The food was ordered at the register & brought to our table. FOOD: We ordered the Traditional Beef & Bulgogi empanadas with a passion fruit mango sakirita slushie to share between 2 people. Everything was fresh & delicious. I preferred the Bulgagi flavor which was an Asian bbq flavor. The server was kind & we enjoyed people watching from the top deck while eating our meal. The Sakirita was strong Lol get ready to get loose if you don't share they're $9. Glad we finally tried this spot. Definitely will be back.

    First time coming to Duluth downtown during daytime. I'm here on a nice Sunday noonish, parked at the public parking lot for free there are also parking spots nearby the restaurants for free as well, but we wanted to take a walk and enjoy the nice fall weather. This area is fun for snack/quick bites and drinks/bubble tea while sunbathing or simply people watching or watching leaves falling. The price is decent, similar to typical bubble tea/bakery place. Had the bulgogi and Bacon Egg &cheese empanadas with mango bubble tea with matcha crystal bubbles. Everything tasted great IMO, really enjoyed it. Great service & clean as well. Would definitely coming back again!

    Took me a little bit to find this place, but it's located in Sweet Octopus. There is plenty of outdoor seating if you're not comfortable with indoor dining quite yet. My boyfriend and I got the pulled pork, bulgogi, and fig & mascarpone empanadas. They have a good variety of savory and sweet empanadas. The portion size is also generous (we were stuffed after eating three). Unlike some of the other empanadas I've had before, the encasing used for the empanadas are more pastry like, which makes them a little more buttery. We really enjoyed them and would definitely come back for more!

    We've been going to Empanada House for several years now and always excited to dine in when we get the chance. Best place for empanadas.

    Churros
    Lauren J.

    5/5 recommend - best empanadas I've ever had. The empanadas are light and flaky, but not at all flimsy. They're stuffed with fillings and super affordable. The flavors are great! I had the Hawaiian (pineapple, ham and cheese) and the guava and cheese. Service is great. The guys who took our order brought our food downstairs to us when we told him we also ordered from sweet octopus (the restaurant on the lower level). Drinks are refreshing and customizable. The only thing that wasn't amazing was the churros, they seemed to be fried a tad too long for my liking but the flavor was still superb and I would definitely order again!

    Located in downtown Duluth., of the upstairs level of Sweet Octopus. Nice chill vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends and family. Has a little outdoor patio that over look shops nearby. I wasn't too satisfied with the fruit bar., maybe I had different expectations of it. But it' was like trying to chew on a flavor ice cube stick. The other items we ordered were good tho. Def a spot to check out. Recommend, and Will come back.

    Consistently, fresh and flavorful. Empanadas stuffed with delicious ingredients. I appreciate the friendliness and warmth of the owners how they take pride in their restaurant and their food. It is so good that nowadays every time I ask my kids what they want as a treat they ask for the Empanada House!

    We discovered this place by accident while contemplating waiting in line for another restaurant in the town center. It's on the second floor inside Sweet Octopus. We ordered one cheese, one BE&C, and one pork empanada along with taro milk tea with tapioca. Everything was delicious! The dough for the empanadas was perfect I wish I could get the recipe to make at home honestly. My personal favorite was the pork because it came with guava BBQ sauce! the milk tea wasn't overly sweet which I loved. The staff was friendly and the food was prepared in a timely manner. I even order extra to take home after. I will definitely be returning!

    The empanadas are huge and tasty. I think it's so cute and such a great idea to stamp the flavor on the dough so you know which are which.

The ambiance is great, and there are plenty of things to do around the area, which makes it even better. I'd definitely recommend it! I usually order the Nutella Acai Bowl and substitute the banana for mango. The only downside is that the fruit quality can sometimes be inconsistent. Occasionally the fruit seems mushy, like it may have been sitting out for a while, or it's unripe. I've also noticed during my recent visits that the acai itself was a bit runny. Aside from that, it's still my favorite spot for an acai bowl!

The drinks are not overly sweet which is nice and the products give off a healthy vibe which is becoming a little bit rare in the market today which often prioritizes sweetness and taste over quality and health. The service is friendly enough albeit I think the pick up process can be improved a little. We came with a decently sized group after having lunch next door at pokeworks and most of our guests were a little oblivious to the fact each of our respective drinks came out. The only way you will know if your drink is ready is if you are paying attention to their team members calling out your name in a somewhat lively atmosphere. I would suggest possibly writing the name on the cup if it is possible so guests are not left guessing if their drink is ready in somewhat a group of drinks on the pick up counter. What makes this location stand out is its location. The back door leads out to a gorgeous public space where there is a beautiful park and seating for guests to enjoy and just mingle. We spent a good 2-3 hours out there just soaking in the beautiful weather and enjoying our smoothies and drinks. 5 solid stars for Playa Bowls in Peachtree Corners and a thank you to the staff and owners for being here.

I kid you not, it makes you feel like you're sitting inside a real-life geode! The walls are lined with the cutest shelves and unique little trinkets.
