They have over 50 taps that you can choose from. Every beer style was well represented. The bartender let me taste a couple samples before I made a final decision. The place is called Barleygarden Kitchen, but it's also affiliated with Hop City. In addition to all the beers they have a full bar. Barleygarden is a winner and in a great location. It is a great option if you are looking for craft beer in the Avalon area.

Was told today that I had to pay $2 per 2oz cup of the exact amount of toppings for two salads so that's $20 additional dollars, per the cashier & person over the phone due to "cost" issues, anyone knows not only do these come packaged 1000s per pack but how many of these or the the tiny lids for them fall onto the floor everyday at any establishment, the effort that was put forth to not accomodate this request was FAR more than was required to fufill it! QT has these for free like do I need to bring my own or GD WW ? Needless to say will not be back

The servers behind the bar tend to be energetic, friendly students from the nearby high school. The owner is also friendly. Everything is fresh. They have vegetables, fruits, nuts, proteins, and anything else that might go on a salad. Some categories of ingredients are extra, such as proteins. These are clearly marked so there are no surprises. They are generous with whatever toppings are requested. Ask for more of what you like. They do not weigh the salads they combine for you. They sell by container. Fill it as you will. I've seen people take advantage to the point where the container will barely close but the server just smiles. It must even out. The restaurant is spacious and well lit. Plenty of natural light during the day. The minimalistic design just feels right. Value is great. You really can't go wrong.

We came here exactly the same time last year...but I remember we were bit disappointed in how…read moreridiculously spicy-hot the Galbijiim was! Still, I really liked the vibe of the restaurant, and all that they had to offer, so we decided to try again. Well, again, we ordered the Galbijjim...and this time, there wasn't a Regular or Spicy like last time. We also ordered a small size of Seafood Pancake. Well...Gotta be frank. This time, the Galbijjim was TOO mild. In fact, it even had this brown watery soup base (which I don't remember was a thing with Galbijjim??). WOW. Just can't seem to find the right balance here. Quite disappointing because we both were knocked over by just how AMAZING it was in the original Duluth location. Unfortunately, the Galbijjim at this location is just not the same. It's either too hot-spicy...or too mild (and soupy?!?). Also, the portion is WAY smaller...almost too small. If you look at the hot pot, it barely fills the bowl (?!?). Too mild...too soupy...and too skimpy. So again, we were quite disappointed. We agreed that if we're to have Galbijjim, we'll be going to the Duluth location over this one. Two Strikes, and OUT for me! Their side dishes were good...but again, I felt that the Duluth location offers a much more spirited variety of sides as well. Not sure why this is the case? I found this surprising as well...given how high the ratings were here?? Luckily, there was something we were impressed with...and that was their Seafood Pancake. It was MUCH crunchier than how I remembered it in the past...and both my husband and I agreed that this was THE best version we've had to date! We regretted not ordering the large size of this...as we enjoyed this more than the Galbijjim! It's so unfortunate that I'm still not able to upgrade the review to 5 stars...especially given how I love the vibe of this restaurant! Service is quite good too. But their Galbijjim continues to disappoint...so must dock another star. Maybe if I/we revisit, I'll order something else from their menu...and hopefully, it'll be better than their version of Galbijjim???

It was flavorful, chunky, and very filling. Also ordered a ham and Gruyère panini that was tasty too. I can't wait for my next trip to try another yummy soup!! This location is a little larger than the one in Chamblee. It has a decent sized interior dining area, with table tables that can seat up to six. Outside (although it was a little cold to attempt sitting out there during our visit) there are many small patio tables to choose from. Parking is the only thing to keep an eye out for. There are a cluster of small shops and restaurants that share a small parking area. During busy times, it might be a challenge.

We decided to try Slurpin' Ramen Bar first. I had read that they originally started in California so I had a good feeling about it and I'm so glad we went! Their tonkotsu broth was probably the best I've had in the US. It was rich and full of flavor without feeling overly heavy. It was so good that we didn't want to leave any behind so we actually took the leftover broth with us for the 5-hour drive home (thankfully we had a cooler bag!). I immediately had to tell my son who's currently living in LA for college so he can visit one there too. This place is definitely going on our must-visit restaurant list from now on.

First, when you walk into the restaurant, it is very cute, has a bar for solo diners and booths incase you are in a group. The location is very cozy and the employees were great! Our server was very patient and had no problem explaining, re-explaining, and confirming with the chef if he wasn't 100% on an answer. I got a tofu rice bowl, which I typically don't get and it was delicious! I asked if the salad could be put on the side rather than in the bowl and was given a full side salad that I wound up mixing into my rice lol. I also added broccoli to the bowl, which I probably wouldn't do again because it was pretty bland, but overall the bowl was good. Now the vegan dumplings... were FANTASTIC! We shared the dumplings and everyone agreed that they were easily the best thing that we had eaten the whole day. The green color threw me off at first, but the crispiness and texture of the dumpling was amazing. I would love to go back and try the ramen to see how it measures up, but again, great experience. Also, when you are paying the check, they bring you a small bucket full of dum dum lollipops, which I thought was a great touch. Me and my adult guests all left like happy children, which is exactly how eating out should make you feel.

I've had Mama's Kitchen on my list for a while once it popped up on my Taiwanese cuisine radar. It looks like the menu has expanded to included non-Taiwanese dishes, maybe to suit the tastes of the other cultures in the area. However, I was going straight for the Taiwanese favorites, including the Braised Minced Pork over Rice (滷肉飯), fried chicken cutlet over rice and of course the classic beef noodle soup. Everything was a-ok! Service was friendly, even inside the H-Mart food court.
