The internet has a huge influence on foodie culture from viral dishes that are constantly trending to new ways to dine. Each week brings something new that people are dying to try with the latest trend on TikTok being carbonara Bodak noodles with Wing Stop tenders and ranch to top it off… Anyways, as new advances continue to come out to make dining experiences both unique and innovative, restaurants are starting to reflect these futuristic changes. In Gwinnett, a new spot in particular known as The Forks has brought the popular Japanese dining trend of self-service ramen and an internet cafe to life!
Located in Suwanee, the concept of the restaurant itself is fairly simple. You walk in, choose from a wide selection of ramen varieties, choose the toppings to go with your ramen, a drink from the refrigerator area and you’re all set! You can either play it safe with a ramen brand you’ve tried before or use this as an opportunity to try something new! As for their topping selection, it’s similar to what you would typically find on a ramen menu ranging from soft-boiled eggs and mini sausages to fish cake and fresh green onion. Once you’ve selected your toppings and paid, it’s time to get your chef hat on and cook your ramen! The cafe has a row of instant cooking machines that work as fast as 5 minutes to fully cook your ramen. Instructions for how to operate are super easy to understand making the overall experience a fun one!
The Forks is open until 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday, making it the perfect grub spot with your friends! For those looking for a late-night gaming spot to enjoy after a delicious bowl of ramen, check out the cafe’s array of PC’s and X’Box’s for your gaming needs. You pay a flat rate of $5 per hour of gaming making it super affordable and a great way to meet fellow gamers in the area.
