Le Fat

$$$$

Vietnamese

West Midtown

4.5

876 reviews

Guy Wong’s famous restaurant, Le Fat, is a modern Vietnamese restaurant with roots in the country’s French-colonial influences. The restaurant itself is stunning, with design that pulls from the 1920s Saigon and other parts of Southeast Asia and works to recapture the beauty, romance and devil-may-care attitude of the time. Located in the West Midtown area of Atlanta, it’s a convenient stop for diners coming from Georgia Tech or offices in Midtown. Try the delicious hot and flavorful noodle soups as an alternative to ramen, such as the Bun, made with vermicelli noodles and a clear broth.

Beetlecat

Seafood

Inman Park

2460 reviews

Atlanta might be a few hours away from the nearest ocean, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know all about fresh fish. Located right off North Highland, Beetlecat features raw oysters and fresh seafood that rank up there with offerings in any coastal town. The vibe here is upscale and trendy, so grab a table to impress your date or bring a group of friends. The upstairs dining room and oyster bar feels like a seaside fish camp while the below deck in the Den has more of a surf shack vibe. You can also hang out in the open air on the patio while you dine! If you’re a ramen lover, try their spice udon soup - it’s the same idea but topped with sticky glazed beef brisket, bonito flakes and an egg yolk.

Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar

Seafood

Marietta

2980 reviews

If you’re in the mood for flavorful and creative cuisine in a light, beacy setting, come one down to Drift Fish House and Oyster Bar in Northwest Atlanta. Owner Doug Turbush owns a number of other restaurants in the city but this one specifically focuses on seafood and fish flavors. The interio has oars and paddles hanging from the ceiling, a cool, lengthy bar area and plenty of seating in the big, open dining room. You can find a little bit of everything on the menu, including oysters, deviled eggs, Ani Tuna and more. But if you want a warm bowl of soup like ramen, try the specialty Bouillabaise Stew made in lobster broth and served with sourdough bread.

Muss & Turner's - Smyrna

1796 reviews

Muss & Turner’s has a pretty simple practice - they buy the freshest ingredients they can find, cook seasonally and support local farmers and businesses. Oh and they like to make people feel good. They are big on creating a warm, natural setting where people can gather and enjoy each other and excellent food. It’s a loca fuss-free joint with a deli counter that serves giant sandwiches, house-roasted and cooked meats and homemade bread. An awesome alternative to ramen is the Wafuu Spaghetti, which consists of homemade pasta, tobiko and shiso leaf.

Hopstix is a serious brewery and Japanese restaurant located in an old building in Chamblee that locals are raving about. It’s like a gastropub meets Izakaya and they have a dizzying menu with about a half-dozen sections including starters, grilled skewers, entrees, sushi rolls, raw fish, nigiri and crudo. It can feel overwhelming but know that you are in good hands here and you can’t make a bad choice. Try their super bowl, a heaping mix of sashimi, grilled pork belly, unagi and spices that is filling enough to be a whole meal. And make sure to sample their awesome Miso Ramen - the main reason many locals come here.

Haru Ichiban Japanese Restaurant

$$$$

Japanese

Duluth

4.8

16 reviews

Ichiban means Number One is Japanese and that’s no lie when it comes to the ramen here. They were serving the trendy bowls of noodles before they were trendy and afficionados claim it it the best ramen in Atlanta. The restaurant is in the crook of a nondescript shopping complex not too far from Gwinnett Place Mall. Slip into the long, narrow dining room and settle in for a delicious meal. Their ramen sticks to the classic model, which means it’s amazing, and you can add chili power to it for an extra kick. Plus, their sushi is to-die-for.
