    5. Healthy Veggie Pot
    Colbie S.

    The Vegan Chef Challenge inspired me to give this restaurant a try, and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the Healthy Veggie Pot and the Tofu Tempeh Sushi Roll. Both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I really hope they keep these vegan options on the menu, because I'd love to come back and explore the rest. My server was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. At the end of dinner, she gave us a coin to go play the claw machine.

    We celebrated a friend birthday here recently, and got a chance to try a variety of their menu. First of all the ambience is inviting & modern. Our server was super nice & knowledgeable. Sushi rolls, chicken skewers, appetizers all are on point. Flavorful with a touch of fusion- She even brought out a birthday ice cream with a candle and sang us a birthday song, it was a pleasant surprise!

    NEW FAVE!!! great food, fair prices, and the sushi is so fresh and delicious!!!! Love the ramen, love the steak and sausage skewers so much!! Although, they have been out of sausage lately, and I can only hope they can get more soon. :'( We really can't stop eating here; they have so many yummy options! (don't get the jalapeño poppers though) We haven't had a chance to try drinks yet, and soon I hope to try the seafood boil!

    Came here for a lunch and wow it was so cute! The waitress was super sweet and attentive. The decor is adorable! We got yummy lavender lemonades to start. Love the presentation. I got the sweet potato roll and a spicy Hawaiian role? It was delicious. I will definitely come back.

    A Mother's day treat! My littles and their grownups took me to Oola Mala for Mother day. Delicious! I had a crab boil, while my DIL had Ramen. My son tried Sushi. All was reported as fantastic! Our waitress was nice and helpful. My littles enjoyed their chicken tenders and loved that it was delivered by a robot. The place had a friendly fun feel to it. It was a good time.

    We ate dinner here last night. Loved the food, got the tempura fried stuffed jalapeños and they were very tasty. We got a few sushi rolls, the matador was amazing. Overall super happy with our experience. The server was great. The restaurant had a cute interior and comfortable chairs.

    Oola Mala was really good. The atmosphere is bright, playful and cute. The sushi was delicious and the servers were very pleasant to be around. Some of our items were delivered by the robot, another cute touch! Can't wait to go again for date night.

    This place is a 10! It's truly a hidden gem in St. Johns/Durbin area. Modern atmosphere and the service is great. The food is absolutely delicious. Had the Crab Boil and Chicken Teriyaki dinner. Y'all need to check out this place.

    I saw Oola Mala mentioned on a TikTok of the Durbin area and thought it looked fun, so I took my teenager for lunch on our day off. It's a new space and the vibe is super cute. We were seated quickly and served promptly. While they do have a bar with some really pretty cocktails, we stuck with iced tea and a blueberry soda. After all, it was lunch on a Monday. He ordered one of the ramen dishes and I had the udon noodles. Both were huge and came steaming hot. I had my noodles with just veggies which was perfect, and the ramen was loaded with pork, mushrooms, corn, and noodles. We didn't have sushi this time, but I saw several orders go by and it looks absolutely fresh and gorgeous. I can't wait to go back to try it!

    This place is such a hip, cool, and entertaining place! I love how everything here is themed. From the chopsticks, to the napkins, to the takeout bag, when I say everything has the logo printed on it. I mean everything. They also have 2 claw machines in the front that are super cute too. As far as the food goes, I ordered the oola mala pot and my friend ordered the ramen. The oola mala pot had a wonderful soup base that you can tell took a lot of time to make. You get to choose how spicy the food you get too. The eggs are stewed with a little bit of your onsen egg runny middle, which could be a little less hard boiled, but the flavor is fantastic. The meatballs are all store bought and they're standard. The ramen has a lighter tasting broth and the meat is very well stewed. The service here is really good. They hire a bunch of what seems like either high school or college students and they all seem very genuine and eager. This place also does a great job of advertising on social media. Ok, well now there are some realistic reviews. The most competitive place against oola mala is the chain tasty pot off Southside. They sell very similar items, but the difference is that oola has sushi too but they don't have boba tea, but they do offer a selection of cocktails. I think this place is geared towards more western and aesthetic tastes. It's also a little more expensive here than it is a tasty pot, and Tastypot has more food and dipping sauces, whereas oola mala doesn't. I can see this place really thriving in the future when the area is built out.

    We wanted to try this place. The reviews looked good, so off we went. We walked in and the place seemed relatively empty. It was a Monday night, so that wasn't a big surprise. The restaurant is actually pretty big with 3 different sections. It is decorated very nicely. When you walk in, you are seeing a few tables and the bar area. Just beyond that is the sushi bar. We were promptly escorted to a table. Sat down, received our utensils and drinks. We had some questions and those were answered. Started with a couple of appetizers. The spring rolls were okay. The spicy mussels were really good. For our entrees, we ordered the special hot pot and some sushi. We ordered the hot pot mild but it was still kind of spicy. While spicy, it did seem a little bland. The sushi was pretty good. The downside started before we received our meal. In case a family. The kids were really loud at the entrance. They continued to be quite loud throughout the balance of our meal. They were also climbing up on the furniture. Surprisingly, the staff didn't do anything to try to call the young boys down. We asked if they could do something but got a quick reply of "I wish". Atmosphere - 5 Feed - 3+ Service - 3 Overall - 3

    Came for the Galaxy drink and stayed for the lamb hotpot. The Galaxy is a gorgeous shimmery tequila cocktail that tastes as good as it looks. They have a selection of hot pot combos, and I was very happy with the lamb hot pot. It was savory with a rich broth full of accompaniments that could easy become two meals. The price was reasonable and the ambiance was energetic and clean. It would make a fun date night or night out with friends.

    Varied menu offering Spicy hot pot, seafood boils, sushi and more. They give a kids a token to play the claw game which is nice. The staff is great and helpful to pick out meals. We enjoy trying new foods and this place offers a lot.

    Over the weekend we made another stop at Nori, and this time we decided to start with one of our…read morefamily's all-time favorite appetizers, Crab Rangoon. To be completely honest, it was the best we have had in a very long time. Our family takes Crab Rangoon seriously. Over the years we have probably ordered it in more than a thousand restaurants, and according to my mother, I have been eating it since the moment I could chew. One thing that immediately stood out at Nori was that they do not cut corners on the ingredients. The balance between the cream cheese and the crab was absolutely perfect, which is surprisingly rare. Too often restaurants overload the cream cheese and you can barely taste the crab. At Nori, the crab flavor actually shines through, which is exactly how it should be. The texture was just as impressive. Each piece was perfectly fried, light, crispy, and golden without being greasy. You could tell right away that the kitchen takes real pride in how they prepare their food. For anyone who loves Crab Rangoon the way our family does, this appetizer alone is worth the visit. The Culinary Duo officially gives it two very enthusiastic thumbs up. If you stop by Nori, make sure this is the first thing you order.
