This was by far the best poke I've had in ATL! Absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh and the chicken was perfectly crispy. Will be coming here again! The staff was very friendly, and it was clean and neat inside, a nice cool escape from the heat but outdoor seating if you want. read more

Still consistently WONDERFUL!!! I got my usual, Best of the Best Sushi Burrito. Salmon, Tuna, and all good things stuffed inside a sheet of nori. Also my guys got Spicy Seafood Ramen & our guest got a Shrimp Wanton Ramen. Literally you can scroll through my past posts & pics- everything looks the same as before. A new location opens soon in the city of Lawrenceville. Closer to us, so YAAAAY!! The Ginger Dressing/Salad is STILL my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!! We tried the Tokyo Fries- now I crave these. A great fry, wonderful flavor & piping hot/fresh. A beautiful night & great company to top off a delicious meal. read more

I appreciate how they give thick chunks of salmon for their poke. The spicy tuna nachos were good too. Given the variety of Asian cuisine offered at this place, it's not bad at all. You're able to get some Japanese and Thai food downstairs, while there's Mexican food options upstairs too. The service was fine, but as for parking, you'll need to roam around downtown Duluth to find a spot. read more

Sweet Octopus Atlanta - Salmon Poke - Asian Fusion Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

An unplanned stop in Duluth caused me to seek out lunch at Sweet Octopus. I only experienced the ground floor; apparently there is a different menu (empanadas, bubble tea) upstairs. The downstairs menu was plenty large with sushi, noodles, poke bowls, and ramen. I ordered the shrimp wonton ramen at the counter and settled in at one of the plain by comfortable tables. When I arrived there was only one other occupied table but the place soon filled up. If it had been a little warmer the outdoor patio would have been great. My food was delivered after a short wait. Drink choices were serve-yourself water or a variety of canned and bottled soft drinks from a refrigerator, and I think I saw some bottled sake also. I chose a ginger ale. The ramen was beautiful. It had a good broth and lots of vegetables in addition to half a boiled egg and about half a dozen shrimp wontons. Delicious! I would love to eat here again and try more of the menu. read more

Decided to try this place as it's been on my bookmark for a while and I happened to be in the area. It was a Thursday afternoon during lunchtime. There were a few other patrons but the place is not packed. Food is ordered at the counter and then they deliver the food to you, so it is not a traditional sit down restaurant. I ordered the spicy seafood ramen. It was decent. I can tell that the seafoods are all from packed/frozen seafood. Soup tasted alright as well. The ramen model was cool to property consistency. I have nothing bad to say, but it's not overly memorable nor out of this world. read more

Came to Duluth on a very rainy Friday and was craving Thai. We had a very group so had to kinda of move chairs around. Food was very yummy we had Penang curry, a sushi burrito, some fries, and drunken noddles. All were so tasty! The only thing is the lady that was taking the order was very rude. We saw our food on the counter top and she got busy so my husband went up with our number to get the food since we love it really hot and she kinda just blew my husband off. Even before the food came to our table, we had kid wagon next to the side of the restaurant and that was an issue for her. Service 2/5 Food 4/5 They def need more servers or someone that can multitask better read more

The food is good but it is self service seating and the servers are a little slow and not very enthusiastic about their jobs. They don't seem to be giving off great vibes and since their menu is pretty large, it is very imperative that the servers and staff are welcoming, approachable, and knowledgeable. The restaurant is small itself so hard with large crowds. read more

Right in the center of cute Duluth! Beautiful building beautiful outside. Casual almost like a hangout spot. Easy to order and pretty quick service. Yummy food! Fresh ingredients and delicious choices. I had the Bangkok Ribs. SO tender! Fall off the bone with a beautiful Thai curry. I could have eaten 20! Pad Thai was also excellent and they have a fun Sushi Doughnut. We will be back! read more

Sweet Octopus Atlanta - Pad Thai Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Located Downtown Duluth, it's a good place to eat when you're in the area and need a quick bite. There are menus at the door when you walk in, and you choose a free table to sit at, either upstairs (Empanada House) or downstairs (Sweet Octopus), before going to the counter and placing an order. You'll be given a number, and they'll bring your food out when it's ready. Food is served relatively quick and tasted pretty good. I love fried shallots, and I was happy with my Pokebowl for that reason. I do remember having eaten here previously and finding the ramen lackluster, which influences my review now, but the Pokebowl was filling and tasty. It's kinda funny how my friends and I have been here on different occasions, forgot all about it until hanging out here, and we each remember the ramen being meh. read more

We had a party of 4 for dinner on Friday, 6/7/24, at 5:30 pm. They have high chairs! But the high chair was a little too short for the tables outside. We sat outside and it was lovely. They have a giant menu, with Thai, sushi, ramen, and more. The staff was very nice! We all split the nachos and gyoza. I split the burrito roll and sushi donut with my husband. Here's what we got: - Spicy Tuna Nachos ($8.50): Tasted good, but the wontons were super fragile and broke whenever we tried to pick them up. - Fried Pork Gyoza ($5): Good! - Best of the Best Burrito Roll ($16): Tasty! - Salmon Donut ($8.50): Good deal! I liked how saucy it was. The presentation was fun. The food came out pretty quickly, but the donuts came out a lot later than our other dishes. Overall, pretty solid food and very reasonably priced! If we're in the area again, we would go back! read more

While visiting family over the holidays, we stopped by for a a light bite before dinner. Service The staff was nice and was able to answer some inquiries about some of the vegetarian options. I'm vegan, so I appreciated they took the time to help me figure out the item that would work for me. Food I got the "Fried Tofu" and asked for it to be fried extra crispy. It came with a Thai chili and chopped peanuts sauce. It was a solid 3 stars out of 5. I was expecting the sauce to be more of a creamy, peanut sauce with their chili. I also thought the tofu would be tossed in the sauce. That was my own expectations though. Now that I know how it comes, I may not request it extra crispy. The tofu had a nice crunch on the outside with a little softness on the inside, but you really needed the sauce to give it the extra flavor. I would like to return and try out their other menu options. Especially the Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, and Pad See-Ew (my favorite Thai dish). Ambiance I loved how clean it was in there! They have an upstairs rooftop and a patio I would like to sit on in the warmer months. read more

Sweet Octopus is a great spot to try out if you're in downtown Duluth and want some good, affordable, and vegetarian friendly options in the area. A lot of other options nearby are outright inflated for what you get for the sake of being "in downtown" but Sweet Octopus has your average 10-15 dollar plates you'd expect. They offer a variety of different foods and they do some well and some not so well. When you go to a spot that does "a little bit of everything," they usually don't nail any of those things perfectly. Regardless, we enjoyed our meals and the food isn't bad. This time around, I ordered the tofu spicy basil fried rice which was definitely worth getting - it has that smokiness that you crave in some fried rices. It was delicious with generous portion sizes. My girlfriend tried some of the sushi and with it being her favorite food, she was a bit harsher on the critique and said it was all right. In the past, I've ordered their 1-up vegan ramen and their pad thai. While convenient, there are options nearby that blow these two out of the water with spots that specialize in Thai food and ramen bowls. If you're interested, feel free to send me a message and I can direct you accordingly or view my previous reviews. To summarize, Sweet Octopus is a decent choice for food if you're in the downtown area and don't want to spend an excessive amount of money in the nearby spots like Nacho Daddy or Dreamland. The food's good, the staff is kind, and it's a convenient spot for dinner or some treats. read more

Back again! And I got something other than a poke bowl! Finally got to try a burrito roll and it was so yum! I got the best of the best roll with a side of eel sauce. Very filling and the size of an actual burrito. The waiter compared it to eating two large sushi rolls and it was just that. Sweet Octopus will forever be a staple! read more

Stopped by real quick with a friend who was looking for a snack and we ended up getting the fried tofu starter. It's just exactly how it sounds. Just fried tofu, no seasoning or anything but I do wish there was some salt on it. The sauce however was a BANGER. It was this thin sweet chili sauce with cucumber and crushed peanuts. It was the perfect flavor pop with the tofu. Perfect snack moment and with quick service. Love coming to this place! read more

My husband and I were very excited to give Sweet Octopus a try as he is a huge ramen lover. We parked in the public lot across the street from the restaurant. Once you enter there are menus available on the wall near the door for your convenience and there are a plethora of options from ramen to sushi to Thai. The food hall is cozy but comfortably spacious in seating. Food and beverages are ordered at the cashier, you're given a number and then food is brought to your table. The service was very efficient and the staff was very kind. We ordered the miso ramen, Village classic ramen and fried pork gyoza. The fried pork gyoza was very good but both the miso and village classic ramen left much to be desired. The pork belly in the miso ramen was very tender but the overall dish lacked in flavor as well as the village classic. We plan to give Sweet Octopus another try and check out some of the other cuisine. read more

Used to be a go to, but failing state inspection rating has given me pause. It was closed for a period of time, perhaps to correct these issues. I hope to give it another try if passing grade is given. It was always great food before. Counter service a bit slow but okay overall. Ambiance is fine, but not a date night vibe. Kid friendly. read more

All of the sushi items we got were 10/10 + 5 stars!! Delicious, fresh, and fun to eat! My daughter loved her California Roll and we housed two sushi donuts and spicy tuna nachos. My MIL looooved the chicken curry and the coconut shrimp was top notch. We didn't love the flavor of the chicken broth used for the ramen -- it had a strange underlying taste that was funky. The texture of the egg noodles, however, was amazing. L just the right amount of bite/chewiness. Outdoor seating wasn't super comfortable but the overall location is awesome. We will be back!! read more

Second time I've ordered Uber Eats from here and not disappointed. I've had the Angry Zuko Ramen and the Miso Ramen, spicy, both are delicious. Uber Eats is pricey but nice if you have a coupon. The pot stickers are tasty as well with a bit of heat up. My knock is they give you half an egg for your ramen. I get it, soft boiled takes time, but give the full egg. Serving size is larger than most local Ramen places. You can use the soup to make a second bowl. But cmon with the egg! read more

This was such a cute little spot. The sushi donuts were so tasty. The person that took our order was very helpful and gave us the full rundown on what was most popular dishes.

I got the brown sugar and caramel mix bubble tea with coffee jellies. We we're definitely in a good coma afterwards. read more

Great spot to grab some bubble tea while walking around downtown Duluth or to grab a meal. I ordered the soymate tofu bowl for a late lunch.

Nothing super special about this place. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable either. Everything came out a little on the lukewarm side, which was disappointing to me because I expect fresh and hot food. My sister ordered the drunken noodles and complained that the noodles were overly spicy. I had a bite and could see why she'd think that. The miso ramen broth was fine, but again it was lukewarm. read more

I ordered the volcano roll and coconut shrimp. The roll was fresh and well made - it didn't fall apart when using chopsticks which happens at some places I've been to. The coconut shrimp was tasty but a bit over cooked.
