I've been wanting to try this place for some time now and just generally do not find myself in this…read morepart of town very often. We went out of our way to visit and it was so worth it! The place is non-descript and the parking lot is small, but it works. The menu had lots of good options, but is basic at the same time. The place was pretty full on a Saturday around 5:30pm, but there was no line to order at the counter. I got the burrito (bowl or taco are the other options) and filled it with bulgogi. The pineapple soy was amazing and it had the perfect amount of spice. The fries were great as well, with unique seasoning. We also got the Kokuma, which was fried sweet potato. This was a good side for those who didn't get fries with their meal. The service was friendly and we topped off our meal with some Yom ice cream they sold there.

This place is clearly a favorite among people who work in the area. It was packed during the lunch…read morerush, which is always a good sign. Parking is limited, so plan accordingly. If you're dining in, they'll bring your food to the table, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't for me. I ordered the Bowl Combo with bulgogi, kimchi rice, salad, and sriracha, and the combination of flavors felt overwhelming rather than complementary. The bulgogi itself was well cooked, but the overall bowl lacked balance. The dumplings were also disappointing--they were dry and didn't have much flavor. Based on how busy the restaurant was, I'd be willing to give it another try and order something different. My experience may have been more about my menu choices than the restaurant itself.

My first visit to Sweet Auburn BBQ was long overdue, and I honestly left wondering why it took me…read moreso long to make it there. What initially brought me in was Atlanta Burger Week, and I ordered their featured burger to take advantage of the special. While the burger was good, the real star of the meal was the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket. It was absolutely fantastic. The brisket was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The fried rice itself was packed with flavor and had such a unique, smoky taste that perfectly complemented the barbecue. It is not often that a side dish completely steals the show, but this one certainly did. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food arrived promptly, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. It is always exciting to discover a restaurant that delivers something a little different, and Sweet Auburn BBQ does exactly that by blending flavors and cuisines in a way that feels both creative and comforting. I left full, impressed, and honestly a little disappointed in myself for waiting so long to visit. This definitely will not be my last trip, and I already know the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket will be ordered again.

We visited Sweet Auburn on a Sunday afternoon with a group of 10. Parking was a little confusing…read moresince it's in a parking deck shared with an apartment building, but the restaurant will validate parking for up to two hours, which was a nice perk. A few of us shared the BBQ Omakase, and I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and the amount of food. The appetizers were a great start, the brisket egg rolls were crispy, packed with meat, and easily an 8.5/10. I also really enjoyed the pimento wontons. The standouts for me were the mac and cheese, baby back ribs, and brisket. I also ordered the fried rice, and it honestly tasted just like hibachi-style fried rice, so good! The only item that fell a little flat for me was the wings. That said, both my sister and my spouse really enjoyed them, so it may have just come down to personal preference. The service was a little slow, and it took a while before we were able to place our orders, but our server was pleasant and friendly throughout the meal. Overall, I was very impressed. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and everyone in our group left full with enough leftovers for the next day. I'd definitely come back!

If you're a Dragon Ball Z fan, Buffalo Bar is absolutely worth checking out. The attention to…read moredetail in the decor is honestly next level.They really went above and beyond with the theme. Even the bathroom was part of the experience, which was a fun surprise. A few things to know before you go: seating inside is very limited, and there are no servers. You place your order through a kiosk, which was easy enough to use. They also have a really cool outdoor seating area, but unfortunately there weren't any chairs available during our visit. The bartender was incredibly friendly and helped make the experience even better. The drinks were solid, well-made, and definitely added to the overall vibe. If you're looking for a unique themed bar experience and don't mind a more casual, self-service setup, Buffalo Bar delivers on atmosphere in a big way.

I stopped by Buffalo Bar and ordered the 8-piece wing basket with garlic parmesan and honey lemon…read morepepper wings. The first thing I noticed was that both the wings and the fries were fried much harder than I prefer. They weren't burnt, but they were definitely overcooked for my taste, which took away from the overall meal. The honey lemon pepper sauce was the highlight. It was flavorful, sweet, tangy, and honestly so good that I could've eaten it on just about anything. Unfortunately, the garlic parmesan didn't live up to the name. I couldn't really taste the garlic or the parmesan, so that flavor was disappointing. Although the food wasn't my favorite, I did enjoy the atmosphere. The restaurant has a relaxed, family-friendly vibe with an anime theme throughout the space, which makes it a fun spot for anime fans or families with kids. The menu also offers more than just wings, including hibachi, rice bowls, Philly cheesesteaks, burgers, and salads. It's located in a shopping center, so parking was easy and plentiful. Service was straightforward. I placed my order using the self-service kiosk near the entrance and grabbed a seat at the bar while I waited. One of the employees came over to check if I wanted anything from the bar while I was waiting, which I appreciated. My food came out fairly quickly and was served hot. Overall, with all the wings placed in town, this just wasn't a meal I'd come back for. I finished most of my food, but I didn't really enjoy it. Based on my experience, I don't see myself returning, but if you're visiting for the first time, I'd definitely recommend trying the honey lemon pepper flavor.

As for the food: the ribs were the highlight, tender and flavorful. The brisket, however, was a bit dry and slightly too salty on the outside. Cooking it with a bit more BBQ sauce might have helped lock in moisture and boost the overall flavor. The baked beans were just okay. Definitely different,no meat, but they included pineapple, which I'm still undecided about. The potato salad was also average; it wasn't clear whether it leaned more mustard- or mayo-based, and it felt like it was missing something to tie it together. Overall, a decent experience and nice atmosphere with outdoor seating, but not one that would bring me back.

Lunch comes with soup, a wing, small eggroll and fortune cookie! Clean and spacious with a comfy temperature and nice staff. I appreciated them mentioning the validated parking which is an ATL miracle! But there's no signal in the covered lot so make sure to scan their URL code inside to validate. Dad enjoyed his Curry Shrimp ($13). Loads of veggies (which I approve of) were left on his plate, mostly onions. He rated it 6/10. CONS Where to begin? First of all, no-one told me about the buffet! It was literally pennies more than our entrees. Granted there is a sign out front but you'd only see it if you were driving down Peachtree passing the restaurant. It's not facing the Emory side. Buffet costs $13.99 (11-3) weekdays or about $8 per lb. to go. Food is extremely forgettable. Egg roll and wing lacked flavor. Egg Drop soup - thick and tasteless. Pops liked his Hot and Sour soup. As far as the entrees, when they say fried rice, they mean fried rice. There wasn't an onion, celery, nothing but rice that had been fried. General Tso's Chicken ($12) had a nice sauce, thick with a bit of a kick. But it tasted like it was poured directly from a bottle. There were about 3 tiny sprigs of broccoli, the chicken was tough and fried hard. It reminded me of mall Chinese Food 20+ years ago, "free samples!" Except that tasted better and was cheaper.. I'm not a fan of the TV being tuned to the news during my lunch. I don't want to enjoy the latest shooting or "boil water advisory" after I've downed a glass. Lastly, the manager was kind of a heel. When I asked why no-one (server or hostess) mentioned the buffet and why it's NOT on the menu, he said "there's a sign outside." No apology. Noted.. SUM In short, if you're a budget eater and want free parking and a sizeable, mediocre portion of food, Sunflower Kitchen might be for you. I won't return.

Now, I'll say this: the food is genuinely delicious. But the portion sizes are just absurd for the price. The first time, I spent around $20 on what felt like a small tray of food. This time, I thought I'd give them another chance. I ordered a large plate with an extra side of broccoli. I paid almost $30, and what I got was a bowl about the size of my hand. My hands aren't tiny either, but for $30? It was absurd. So, while the flavor is spot-on, the portions to pricing make it a hard no for me going forward.
