As expected, the meal was phenomenal. What I wasn’t prepared for was the level of service. The whole team was amazing and provided one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had!

What a wonderful new restaurant by Chef Leonard Yu. Outstanding journey through Japan, as their name would imply. Wait staff were attentive and friendly, but authentically so. Really great vibes all around, and, of course, a fantastic meal. Congratulations Chef, and shout-out to our waiter Joseph :-)

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience at Ryokou. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something truly special. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between playfulness and intimacy—warm lighting, friendly smiles, and an effortlessly cool interior design that sets the stage for the remarkable meal to come.
But let’s talk about the star of the show: Chef Leo. His kaiseki-style approach is a love letter to traditional Japanese cuisine, and each dish feels like an artistic homage to Japan itself. What sets Chef Leo apart, however, is the personal twist he brings to every course. Borrowing elements from his primary omakase table concept, he’s created a more spirited and accessible experience here, where you can watch him work his magic up close and share in his excitement as each plate arrives.
Every course was breathtaking in presentation and bursting with flavor. From delicate sashimi garnished with unexpected ingredients, to meticulously crafted small bites that sing with freshness and innovation, you’ll quickly realize you’re on an unforgettable culinary journey. Chef Leo masterfully combines textures and temperatures in ways that surprise and delight, yet always honor the spirit of kaiseki dining.
The staff’s attentiveness and knowledge further enhanced the experience. They explained the story behind each dish and recommended the perfect pairings to complement every flavor profile. Their passion for the food and genuine enthusiasm made me feel like a cherished guest in their own home.
If you’re looking for a dining experience that marries tradition and creativity—one that surprises you at every turn—Ryokou is the place. It’s not just a meal; it’s a memory you’ll savor long after you’ve put down your chopsticks. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

An exceptional, creative, very fun, dining experience that is taking on a new edge of Omakase and luxury dining. The staff is so professional and attentive, they do not miss a single beat. Top-shelf service is rare to come by in hospitality these days, and its evident from the moment you walk inside that Ryokou has put service at the front of its operation. Chef Leonard Yu's carefully curated menu immerses you through several regions of Japan in a particularly flavorful and fun fashion. Additionally, the design and aesthetic of the restaurant deserves its own separate mention. The space is absolutely beautiful, located in the newly redeveloped Abrams Fixtures. Without a doubt, Ryokou is on track to make a very bold entrance into the Atlanta food scene in 2025. I hope all local foodies get the opportunity to dine here!

I was so excited to try this new sister restaurant of Omakase Table, and it did not disappoint! It was delicious, from start to finish, and I loved how much fun we had with each of the courses. Everything was pretty different from traditional nigiri omakase, but I enjoyed how creative the dishes were getting. And of course, all of the food was delicious, fresh, and I can't wait to go again! And service was as always, also excellent.
