Well, well, well, they have done it again. I'm a huge fan of consistency. Consistency for an individual is difficult. Therefore, consistency in a business is always an exceptional feat. So many facets, variables, and moving parts within a business must align and work in harmony and unison, synchronistically. It takes discipline, motivation, and desire for every individual within that business to pull it off and work together to reach their shared goals, which is a reflection of each employee and the leadership. The Sandy Springs location is a favorite for me. I love it there. The food, the vibe (transports me to another place), and the service do it for me every.single.time. For my daughter's 16th birthday, she wanted her birthday dinner with her friends to be at Okiboru Ramen, and we decided to try something different and go to the Buckhead location. They did not let us down for this special occasion. I was familiar with the layout from dining at the establishments that previously owned the space. They have made it their own, and it is visually beautiful. The service at both locations is impeccable. Whoever is choosing the talent and however the talent is being found, I don't know, but the formula is working. Yes, I am using the word talent because these are talented individuals who are providing amazing service. I do not know the names of the individuals who have provided service to me at the Sandy Springs location, but they always, always, always do a fantastic job. I am unsure who served my daughter and her friends at the Buckhead location, but she repeatedly said she had a wonderful time and birthday dinner. My sister and I sat at the bar to give my daughter and her friends space, and Joseph and Irene provided exemplary service to us. In the midst of being extremely busy, the service never wavered. Joseph mixed up excellent libations and was extremely patient with my indecisiveness, helping to guide me in my decision to try something new in addition to my favorites, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Irene assisted in coordinating and sending a beautifully decorated plate of strawberry mochi to the table for my daughter and her friends. The food is always absolutely divine; no matter what I try, that high level of thoughtfulness and quality permeates everything. I cannot thank the establishment and staff enough for making this a wonderful and memorable milestone birthday for my daughter and all of us, and, as my daughter put it, "the best birthday yet." Each visit to Okiboru Ramen, no matter the location and who I have the pleasure to interact with, consistently allows me to have the omentashi experience, which is a true testament to the owners and the talent there, and I am always grateful to have the opportunity to dine here. I will always come back. Much love and respect (deeply bows).
