Man cook the chicken first. It needs to hit 165. The steaks and everything else don’t. Got people sitting around with cold vegetables and rice while the unseasoned chicken just sits there slowly simmering because they put it on late. I ended up just getting a to go box with just chicken in it. And then you want an 18% charge for the chef then a tip for the “server”? Man how about you get the server cooking chicken on one side and the chef doing the rest on the other.Look if Mikata can deliver this product perfectly every time and taste amazing so can they. I’m not being unreasonable. I just want my food at a reasonable time.I probably won’t go back.

Ordered edamame and an Auburn roll to go ($25 later..) and the portions were SMALL. Worst of all, I woke up sick to my stomach in the early hours of the morning. After being sick, spending $25 bucks on super small portions and not really good food - I won't return.

Food was great service was excellent and my daughter was pleased with the dinner she chose for her birthday!Price wise I was worried after reading reviews but it honestly is about the same as all the others in the area. Our meal was $111 tonight at other restaurants that are similar locally we spend $100 to $115. Food quality is great and the habitch task better then others. We will definitely be back. If your on the fence about trying this place just bite the bullet and do it, you will be glad you did.Kid-friendliness: They talked to the kids more then the Adults and made my daughter feel special for her birthday.
We stopped for the first time while in the area and everything we had was great! Amazing service!

This place was amazing because it’s looked really cool on the inside and service was great and a man who i forgot the name of but he had black glasses and was very nice he helped me learn how to use chopsticks and now I can impress my friends when we ever go to a Chinese restaurant or hibachi or anywhere that lets you use chopsticks for food plus i really liked the windows because they had little ghosts on them and when you walk in they have a sign that says “help mrs. PAC man find the blue ghosts” there were four ghosts and I found them all! Overall I would give this place 10 stars if I could ☺️⭐️ - Nora, 10 years old

We stopped by this place on the way back to Atlanta. The sushi is fresh and nicely made. My yakisoba has much vegetable and is a well balanced meal. I would recommend this place.

We have been at this restaurant several times and it never disappoints . Sushi is the freshest I have had, hibachi portions are super good and the food is delicious. It might be more expensive than other sushi and hibachi places in this area but it is worth it. The staff is also super nice and welcoming.

The place is nice and the atmosphere is good. The food was amazing and the sushi was fresh. The greeter lacked personality and was very nonchalant. She would flourish in a more behind the scenes role.

First and foremost, I do not by any means enjoy giving bad reviews. BUT if it helps other hard working patrons from waiting their hard earned money and time then by all means, I will do so.Honestly, I don't know where to begin. LOLUpon entering the restaurant for the 1st time we noticed the place was completely empty. (first red flag). Secondly, We waited over ten minutes for someone to take our drink order. (Remember the place is empty), (lol) Thirdly, the food had a gassy petro taste to it. (We did eat off the hibachi grill, though). My wife and 2 children and myself ate a couple of bites and THAT WAS IT, WE WERE DONE! LOTS OF FOOD STILL ON OUR PLATES THOUGH. AND FOR THE TIME EVER, We left all the food on the table and asked for our check. Fourth and finally, To our amazement it cost 100 dollars for 4 waters 2 sushi rolls ( buy one get one half off) 2 kids meals and ONE adult combo hibachi meal (my wife and I shared) for the first time ever AGAIN, they added a 14 dollar service fee TO PAY THE HIBACHI CHEF (SEPARATELY) AND this was WITH A MILITARY DISCOUNT!!! We were flabbergasted, to say the least. At least now we knew why the place was empty. lol As always, this food critique isn't meant to bash the restaurant but hopefully to be used as a lesson learned for both parties.
Great show, great presentation!And the food is very good!

Pretty quality experience at zen. Tried multiple rolls and they were all fantastic and we enjoyed the fried calamari as well. They were a little short staffed and covered up but still did an excellent job of taking care of their customers. We’ll definitely be back.

We used to love this place. It seems to have gone downhill. The wait staff needs a lot of tranining. They shared details about the chefs that were frustrating them (apparently one quit and that's why it was taking so long) that made me feel uncomfortable. I waited an hour for my meal. The salad was drenched in sauce. The meat was overcooked and the vegetables were soaking in sauce. Also, the restroom was very dirty. There was a lot of dust built up, the sink was dirty, and one of the soap dispensers was empty. Probably won't go back.

Best Hibachi place ever! Reasonable prices, great service, and great atmosphere. Not super dark inside like most hibachi places.
