The Forks USA Self Ramen & PC Cafe — Restaurant in Suwanee

I came to know about The Forks USA from a TikTok video and the lady said it’s a late night Ramen shop, being a brown person late night in my mind starts from 11 PM, but I found out that they close at 10. That was just a cultural difference. Let’s now talk about my experience visiting here and having some ramen with my family.

As soon as you enter the owner hands you a tray and informs you about the process. The process is pretty simple, you select the Ramen you like to eat, select toppings, and keep everything in the tray. Go to the counter and pay for those, then they will hand over the big ramen bowl to you which you can take to the cooking station and they will help you cook it too as well.

First thing that I noticed is that they have a LOT of Ramen options I have ever seen anywhere (at least in the USA). Second thing that I noticed and it was kind of bothersome is that none of the ramen or anything has any price on it. We selected 4 ramens with 2 crab meat toppings, 1 egg and some kimchi. All that came out to whooping $50. I was shocked that a Ramen which costs $1.5 in any store is costing $12.5 each to have that experience. We cooked our ramen with the help of a server and ate it. It was honestly the same as cooking at home. Not a single bit difference.

IMHO I don’t think it’s worth spending that kind of money on something that is 5 times cheaper at home. Don’t get me wrong, the staff was nice, service was good, even food was good but I cannot wrap my head around the value for money part of it. I might not visit this restaurant again.

Pros:

LOT of Ramen Options Enough space for 08-12 people Friendly Staff

Cons:

Not worth it as all the Ramen are available in other stores. Prices are not mentioned properly.

Food Ratings:

Ramen: 8 / 10 Toppings: 6 / 10

Star Ratings:

Flavor: 8 / 10 - Star Authenticity of Flavor: 6 / 10 - No Star Cleanliness: 7 / 10 - Star Service: 5 / 10 - No Star Value for Money: 3 / 10 - No Star

Suggestion for owner: I think it would be good if you mention the price of Ramen, so someone can make up their mind before selecting anything if it’s worth for them or not.

Suggestion for customer: If you really think the experience of cooking Ramen worth 5 times, go nuts.

I believe this format best justifies my review, so I will hopefully continue using it for all my...

What an awesome experience! It was fun getting to select ramen flavors and drinks we had never tried before. There are two whole walls full of packaged ramen offerings to pick from. You also choose your own toppings (imitation grab, packaged vlboiled egg, packaged meat, etc ) and there are also a few fresh offerings as well (scallions, lettuce, eggs, etc.). There are also fun snacks, sweets, toys and gift like items. Once you select your ramen you head to the cooking wall where boiling water is added to your ramen. From there there is a long high top table and some seating in the back as well. We sat at the high top with another family which was very fun. Little fans were available to cool down ramen and salt, pepper, sauces, etc. Were also available at the table. Alyssa was working when we were there and she was phenomenal. This is a self serve shop but she knew who had been before and who had not. She guided you every step of the way. She also made reccomendations on ramen which we took and loved. Even the 4 year old lived the ramen she recommended for him. There were also a large selection of juices, his drinks, bubble teas, milk teas, energy drinks, sodas, etc. I did give only 4 stars because while it is a very fun experience fresh made ramen is much better. The ramen is also quite pricey. For our family of 4 to get two individual ramen packets, 1 boiled egg, 1 lack imitation grab, 1 pack chicken and 4 drinks it was over $60. We had such a fun experience and truly adored Alyssa. We will definitely be back. Forks also serves as a gaming and...

Saw this Fast Ramen Shop through a google search and decided to give it a try! Took our 14 year old boy - he is a RAMEN LOVER and was excited to go out for some Ramen! The Owner at the register was SUPER helpful! I told her this was our first time and she walked us through all the steps on how to do it. You go in to the wall o' ramen and pick out a package of what you want. They have mild, spicy, vegetarian options and more. Then you turn to the cooler and get your topping - the kid did scallions and kimchi and did scallions and corn and we both added eggs to it. Each meal came with a drink and the watermelon drink with Aloe is a two thumbs up according to the kid! We were then walked over to the cooking station and she basically did it for us so that we knew how to do it next time. Then we were shown to the back area where there are eight gaming chairs and computers and then a couple of tables with low stools, which is great for smaller kids who can't sit at the high tops in the front of the shop. We went around 12:30pm and there were a handful of people in the front, no one in the back. Once you are done with your meal, you then pay them. So two full meals with drinks and a extra drink came to $25 and some change. Which is much better than paying $16.00 for a bowl of ramen up the road and the boy was just as happy and next time wants to come back when he has some time to play games....LOL. Its a fun experience, you also get better ramen than at the grocery store and its a fun lunch experience. We will be back again...
