Okiboru - Sandy Springs

I decided to have dinner at Okiboru in Sandy Springs, GA at the recommendation of a friend who said this was his favorite ramen restaurant. My partner and I were definitely not disappointed. We went on a Friday evening for dinner and was surprised the place was not too crowded yet when we arrived around 5:30pm. We were seated immeadiately and chose the bar. Service was fast and we got our appetizer, which was the Okiboru Pork Buns. I was very surprised at how different this style of pork buns were. It wasn't an enclosed bun, but the meat was folded, which was very unique. The Pork bun was sweet, yet savory. As for my entree, I ordered the Tori Chintan which had fried Chicken Karaage, a half soft-boiled egg, and other toppings. The price was very affordable at $13.50, tasted great, and had enough that I was full once finished. Okiboru has a "homebody" feel that is very different than larger franchised-owned ramen restaurants. I'd definitely want to eat here again in the future! Parking: You'll either drive around until a free parking spot opens up in the parking garage behind the building Okiboru is in, or you'll have to use the Valet service which only accepts Cash or PayPal/Venmo. Make sure to have the app setup beforehand with a credit card if you don't want to use a linked bank/checking account. Could be very inconvenient if you're not prepared.

Delicious food. Quick.

Been there a couple times and their ramen are always good. The chasu rice was ok, the taste was kinda overwhelming. I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought. FYI - They charged $2 to change thin noodles to think noodles.

Flavourful broth which is what matters the most. There is a parking garage but it usually is full. Fortunately valet parking is right outside.

Pros • Casual hangout ramen place :) • a quick walk-in • authentic ramen broth with experimental ingredients • Crispy Gyoza shape and its skin is not what you imagined? But Its filling was satisfying Cons • Chashus should be at least three slices or be bigger! • no excuse for charging garlic Hope to see diff level of spiciness options in the future :)

Amazingggg staff, amazingggg food!

I’ve been here several times now and I’m a huge fan. The dipping ramen is incredible. I highly recommend it! Personally, I like it even more hot but normal is great too
