Alex was our bartender and he, alone, was AMAZING, let alone the cocktails he was serving!! The Yuzu was INCREDIBLE. 12/10 recommend! ??? The food sushi was perfect, we had zero complaints. SO GOOD! And fast service! But the cocktails are 1009% what sets this pace (once/if you get in) apart! SO. SO good!!!idk if I would have ordered the Yuzu without Alex convincing me that I would love it, and THANK GOODNESS I listed because DAYUUUM!??????

Drinks were perfect. The ambiance is intimate. Drinks are pricey but worth it in my opinion. They have a great collection of whiskeys and bourbons that is served in exquisite glassware by knowledgeable bartenders.

Himitzu, Atlanta's hidden gem of a lounge, is celebrated for serving some of the city's finest cocktails, a perfect follow-up to a superb dinner after UMI. This speakeasy distinguishes itself with elegant decor and a cozy atmosphere, providing a unique setting for socializing with an impressive crowd. It's a must-visit destination in Atlanta. Secure a dining experience at UMI first, then politely request the secret code for Himitzu access. If it's a quieter night, you might just get the code, or alternatively, you can make a reservation via email. A little charisma can go a long way while making that reservation :)

My friend and I chose Chai Yo for a pre-birthday celebration dinner. Towards the end of our dining experience, we noticed an adjacent establishment that caught our interest -- HIMITSU (speak easy). Curious, my friend approached the host at the neighboring place -- HIMITSU to inquire about it. However, the host's response left much to be desired in terms of professionalism. He mentioned that a group of 40 people, whom he referred to as "members," (Caucasian people) would be arriving shortly, and they had priority seating (over us). He suggested we return around 11:15 pm if we wanted to be accommodated. Before settling our bill, we noticed several people attempting to enter HIMITSU, with a notable trend: those who were accepted appeared to be predominantly white, while those who were denied entry were from diverse racial backgrounds. These observations only served to confirm our suspicions of discrimination taking place at HIMITSU. As the clock neared 11:00 pm, we settled our bill with our server at Chai YO and I approached the host (hoping he really wasn't a racist) for further information. The host informed us that entry to HIMITSU was typically reserved for special (white people) individuals in the film or sports industry who had been invited by the owner. I inquired if my film industry affiliation would grant us access, to which he replied negatively. I then asked about making a reservation, and he advised us to do so for the following week. The host's response was highly unsatisfactory, especially since we had no intention of waiting until the following week for a reservation. AND this seemed contradictory to the "members only" policy he initially mentioned. In frustration, I sought clarification on their standards, to which he responded by claiming our server Bryan at HIMITSU had informed the host Kevin that our tip did not meet their 20% standard. This left me baffled, as our check totaled approximately $290, and we had tipped around $360, well above the 20% threshold. It became apparent that the host's explanation was inconsistent and lacked professionalism. It's unfortunate to say, but his actions and comments strongly suggested racial bias. In summary, it appeared that the host had no valid reason to deny us access, and the decision seemed to be rooted in racial profiling and stereotypes. Please be cautious and consider your choices carefully when dining here, as we experienced prejudiced behavior from the host. Hindsight, I should have immediately ask for the manager's assistance to address the biased behavior exhibited by the host. #racists #prejudice #disgusting #shutitdown

I brought another out-of-town guest to Himitsu last night and another home run by the staff! Eric, as always, thank you for making this happen and I hope to see you soon -

I absolutely love this trendy, energetic, and fun spot! Very classy. After leaving Umi (the sushi is the best), Himitsu was the icing on the cake of a wonderful evening. Just exquisite. The service was next level. White glove from beginning to end. Thanks for a wonderful time! Always a great choice.

Brilliant concept, but can be very noisy at full capacity. Come early and enjoy one of the more fun-decorated speakeasies in Atlanta.

Nice cocktail lounge with some Japanese whiskies, good bartenders and excellent food from Umi.
Espresso Martinis were perfect, service was spot on, doorman were very friendly. Love everything about the vibe and crowd.

Service was impeccable -- everything from the host to server highly polished. Sushi menu was limited but the high quality made up for it. Everything was a hit with our table. Would happily return!

We were here Friday night for a corporate Christmas party. We started with cocktails then our bartender gave us about a 30--45min mixology class which was cool...after we headed upstairs for "snacks" from Umi next door & more drinks. I was very impressed with the attention to detail, awesome staff, the beautiful interior & the drinks were really very impressive. We really enjoyed the sushi plates from Umi. I think everyone really enjoyed themselves!!

So pricey it’s ridiculous. Spent almost $400 on drinks and wasn’t tipsy. Not worth it

If you want to impress your date or have a great night out with your close friends Himitsu is the place you need to attempt to get into. It's a password required speakeasy that's not only parallel to Umi Sushi, but they share the same kitchen!! You'll have access to the most popular items on the menu while also having exclusive access to their signature cocktails. The dim lights, Vegas like music and the overall ambiance makes this space extremely sexy. This establishment is only open Thursday through Saturday.
