We have not been on the south side of 85 in a while. Driving thru we saw many possible lunch…read morechoices. Megan wanted a dining room meal not fast foo, so we picked Jinya based on my experience at the Athens location. It was a good choice! There are many restaurants in this plaza, so there is plenty of good parking. We were in after 1pm so the lunch crowd was mostly gone. The restaurant has the somewhat standard contemporary asian restaurant look. We were quickly seated at a window table. The menu is small but has what you want for a ramen restaurant. I ordered the original tonkotsu with crispy chicken topping. Megan ordered the chicken ramen. The order arrived quickly at our table along with some additional sauces. My ramen was outstanding. The pork slices were tender and delicious. I don't know how they flavor that egg but it is good! The broth was tasty but aggressively salted. The chicken topping was just the over the top thing I like. Megan liked her chicken ramen quite a bit, so much so she ate it all, not bring anything home. Yes I would come back next time I am hungry in the area. It was $47 plus tip including soft drinks. Seems to be an extensive bar here too if you are looking for that. Hey if you are across 85 at Costco thinking about lunch, come over here! Even if you don't come to Jinya there are better choices here that you might miss if you stay over there!

Delish. I had the flying harvest veggie Ramen. Asked for it a little spicy and added hot sauce. It's got to be one of my favs. Again the broth is a little muddy for me and there are ramen place with a cleaner broth but very tasty. Love the broccolini and all the veggies. The raw onions are a bit much but good. I do like this place but again a bit pricey. For ramen and buns. But something you don't see often, cleaning. Owning a restaurant is 90% cleaning and 10% cooking. I know cuz we used to own a restaurant.

Arita Ramen & Sushi | Buford, GA…read more 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.

We came here after seeing a movie at the IMAX nearby and wanted a quick dinner on our way home…read more 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

TLDR: Food 3.5/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Service 1/5. Would pick up food to go but would not choose…read moreto dine in again. During my short time in the Buford area, I've come to this place twice in the last two days. The food brought me back as well as proximity to our hotel, however if I were local, the service would drive me away. The type of staff that seems more, interested in hanging out and talking with each other than actually serving the customers. First day I was here. I got the bulgogi Omurice dish and it was tasty. I expected the omelette actually cover the entire portion of rice (top and bottom like an omelette which it didn't. Nevertheless, served piping hot in the stone dish and the flavors were good and not overpowering, and the portion was large. A decent value. The second day, after learning a lesson from the previous one, my wife and I split the Bulgogi fried rice dish (which she had gotten the day before.) Again, the flavors did not disappoint. The rub came when my cousin and I, who have two Independent families and who paid separately, were bulked together as one large group so that a mandatory service fee could be tacked on. When I asked, they said the computer made them charge the service fee. This is in addition to having the system prompt for a tip in addition. The ironic part is that we weren't even standing next to each other in line. Then if you are going to charge a service fee, we would expect to have some solid service that is pretty prompt. Small things such as being able to get water when and as soon as you sit down (perhaps they were busy?), as well as having the sufficient amount of silverware (perhaps they just miscounted?) and actually people smile when they're helping you (perhaps it was the end of the day and they were tired?). Lots of hypotheticals. Just a higher expectation of service, especially when being subject to this service fee. Nevertheless, the family enjoyed the food. We are in and out and about 45 minutes and I'm leaving town today so it doesn't really matter but if you're looking for great service, this isn't the place for you but if you just need a quick bite to pick up and take back to your home or hotel,, go for it.

Also, tried their Cherry Blossom Jelly...which was good (but probably not enough to try again?). I regret not trying one of their Mille Crepe Cakes...but hopefully I'll get to try it next time?

Depending on time it does get busy which means you'll have to join the waitlist but overall everything's relatively fast wait time. When you walk in, you can sit at the ramen bar at the entrance if you don't want to sit at a table (if available), maybe 5-6 seats total at bar. You can ask for a ramen card, believe it's 10 stamps you need in order to get next visit with a free ramen bowl. I'm a regular so this comes in handy with a family of 3! They also had vegan options for anyone wondering! Overall great restaurant, friendly staff, and amazing food!

The broth was overwhelmingly salty, and I really didn't care for the noodles. They were thin, round, and stringy, and didn't seem homemade. Honestly, they were unlike any ramen noodles I've had anywhere, including loving years in Japan. I wanted to like this place. I even came back to make sure I hadn't just ordered the wrong thing the first time. Apparently I didn't. Two visits. Two strikes. I think I'm done.

Now that that is out of the way...... The food was excellent! We enjoyed the ginger salads. Fresh and tasty and very reasonably priced. All the menu items are reasonably priced. We also shared potstickers that were just ok, and we shared one bowl with steak and shrimp on top of fried rice. The rice was delicious. The portions of steak and shrimp were very generous with vegetables too. We were stuffed. Next time I will skip the potstickers. Didn't need them. The one bowl was more than enough for the two of us. I'm definitely going back. And soon! If it was a sit down restaurant it would have gotten 5 stars for sure.

Glad this popped in my memory, as I stopped by here with a buddy of mine earlier this year and got…read moreme a great Poké bowl with salmon and tuna, and kind of built my own, and it was fantastic! My phone was dead so I didn't get any pictures, but this is a great way to get fresh fish and other goodies but for me it's all about the tuna, the salmon, avocado, seaweed and squid salad. Gotta have Sriracha and the price points are pretty good for these times when Sushi grade tuna is priced out of the roof. Will try to come down again to that area from Athens before Christmas cause I want to take the kids, but Poké bowls have my heart and this is a great place to try them if you haven't. Highly recommend.!!!
