27 Best Japanese Restaurants in Atlanta

“We had an amazing experience here! Loved the design, the atmosphere and Chef was AMAZING! Spectacular 16 course meal he made! The sale was on point and the staff was all so nice! Will definitely come back!“

“Great Experience, excellent sushi and the Baos are amazing.“

“We love sushi and had eaten at all the nicest sushi restaurants in Atlanta except for this one, so we decided to try it. We had the premium omakase and it was AMAZING. This was both of our favorite experience - usually I prefer more fun and flavorful rolls (ie like Eight) and my husband likes his sushi more pared down (ie Tomo, Nobu, Mujo), but the sushi struck the perfect balance of letting the fish shine without being boring, adding a hint of flavor to enhance. I never eat wasabi but the wasabi relish was incredible - I put on every bite! John, our server, was professional and personable and made our dinner very special - great recs and accommodations! We usually dine out on special occasions (bdays, anniversaries) and it’s not uncommon for it to go unrecognized.. this was the opposite experience. Just a night out but it felt very special. We also loved the vibe- not stuffy or pretentious (some babies even which I don’t think is common but we didn’t care, they didn’t detract!) while maintaining high caliber of service and food. Overall, 10/10 and we will definitely be back. Our new favorite sushi restaurant!“

“Elegance, ambience, impeccable service, flawless menu, thoughtful consideration of every single detail all make a memorable experience at Mujo.
Thank you to Chef/Partner Jordan Harris and his exceptional staff including Katy and Mike for treating us to a perfect evening. Look forward to returning soon .

“My fellow traveler and I stopped by on our way home to Virginia. It was a long day of travel, delayed flights, we just wanted to sit down and chill. We didn’t expect much out of an airport restaurant… But we were both blown away. Our server, Tarvis, was charming, professional, knowledgeable, and exceptional. The BLT with bacon jam, and the rice pudding with cinnamon and peaches was superb. (I could’ve eaten a whole jar of the bacon jam.) Tarvis, thank you for making two weary travelers leave your restaurant with pep in their step Keep on shining your light. And to any traveler who is leery of a place that serves a hamburger and a sushi roll… Fear not. This place is great.“

“We had a reservation but unfortunately my Fiance had to get a last minute biopsy and was told not to drink any alcohol for 24 to 48 hrs. We went to Tiger Sun anyways expecting to just have to go to the reservation (since theres a charge for canceling) and when we explained the situation they were SO NICE. As the cocktails are really part of the experience they did not hesitate for one second to move our reservation and not charge us the fee!! We really expected for my Fiance to either have mocktails or just forego the cocktails in general and were sad about this since cocktails are our thing.. but now we don't even have to worry about that because they were so accommodating! We cannot wait to come back and get the full experience because I am totally sold on the dedication to the customer!“

“I have been wanting to try Nakato for a long time. We finally had the chance this past Saturday. We loved everything 🥰I feel privileged to go to a distinct place like this 🙏Highly recommend!“

“Tuna cutting omakase - wonderful experience“

“Incredible quality creativity presentation and authentic Japanese dishes. Over the top omakase and just brimming with freshness sashimi and sushi. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“We had the best time and the dishes were all amazing! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Impeccable service and what a cute intimate spot. Not crowded at all on Friday night around 8:30/9p Our server was a true delight and his pleasant demeanor and energy added to our date night! My boyfriend and I enjoyed the eel and shrimp roll the best..the baked lobster was a bit more creamy than we would've liked but not horrible. I'm interested in trying the yellowtail, edamame and lychee martini next time.“

“Omakase? More like Omaorgasm because that’s what it sounded like every time 8 adults was given the next course or dish. Every time we took a bite of whatever Yun gave us we closed our eyes and sat back in our chairs and started moaning. Hell I don’t think I’ve heard my wife moan that much before but then again I don’t think I’ve moan that much either. Needless to say we can’t wait to come back and try it again and again and again...Mmmmmmm oooooooooo mmmmmmm lol“

“Just fantastic every time we go. Easy valet or self parking. Unpretentious staff that loves what they do. Every dish is done to perfection. This place is as good as the best of the best. It's lively enough without being too loud and it's our go-to for great Japanese!!!“

“Great cocktails and tasty food. Definitely going to become a local favorite“

“Good food,great people,fantastic atmosphere 🍻“

“Really good food and a pretty good price too. Though, one time we ordered food, then after ordering, we had an emergency we had to leave for. So, I let the staff know that we wanted that food to-go. They brought us twice the amount of food of the same order. One for dine in, and one for to-go and we got charged for both. Might've just been a miscommunication, but still.“

“The food is fabulous and highly recommend“

“Amazing! Can't wait to go back. Pro tip: if you order the lobster the grease splatters all over. A bit surprised as it is made to be cooked on your table. Next time we won't cook it on our table, but will ask for them to finish off table.“

“the atmosphere is great and the food is awesome“

“We've been making our way through Halidom Food Hall and tonight's new try was Wasabi Sushi & Ramen. It did not disappoint! All the dishes were beautifully presented. Unfortunately, we dug in before remembering to take pics, so please take that into account.

First, the staff was very welcoming, helped explain and recommend items, and said please and thank you, which I appreciate. A+ for service.

I had the steak hibachi and it was delicious - packed with steak and loads of mixed veggies. Salty, savory, sweet, soy goodness! Hubby and son split some California rolls and a tuna poke bowl, all were excellent. My son mentioned that the tuna bowl was loaded with fish. We also had some gyozas dumplings and they were super yummy too.

As for the price, it's a food hall, so let's be honest, they are never cheap. But considering the food and service were excellent, and I supported a family run business in my community - it was worth it and I'll be back.

Highly recommend!“

“This is one of the best Japanese restaurants I've experienced, alongside Sushi Yoko. While Sushi Yoko offers dishes closer to Japanese home cooking, this restaurant provides a more authentic dining experience. Although some menu items don't quite meet expectations, many dishes deliver what are likely the highest quality offerings in Atlanta, which justifies the premium pricing.“

“nothing short of awesome...food ..and service“

“Best chicken I ever had. The service was fantastic and every dish was delicious. The desserts were amazing.“

“My home away from home 🖤🖤🖤“

“Prices are amazing food is outstanding! Customer service is great we ordered the Black Spider Roll & Seafood Ramen xtra hot & spring rolls for the appetizer! Lily was our server go in & ask for her & Vicky made sure everything was great... 10/10 would highly recommend i'll be back soon“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“This place is effortlessly cool with a unique decor, killer cocktails and fun vibe. We have been a couple of times and rather enjoyed it after dinner so highly recommended if you can figure out how to get in. I was most impressed with the Japanese margarita which I have since worked hard to replicate at home and is now my go to for impressing friends.“
