“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“Tuna cutting omakase - wonderful experience“

“Japanese with a Korean flair. Great prices + great quality + _extremely_ great service. Surprisingly, they’ve been a “near-kept secret” in Atlanta for nearly 50 years. (Since 1970?)We’ve been eating here & picking up more-and-more regularly for only the past 3 years.“

“Good stuffs, good service“

“Wow - didn’t even know about this place, but it’s going to the top of the rotation. Lower key than UMI or Brush, but the omakase was terrific and the service was exceptional at describing every course and going deep on the sake pairings. Very rarely this surprised.“

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

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

“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!“

“My wife and I went here on Sunday night. We have relatively high sushi standards, and this place actually did great! We ordered the Osho Supreme and finished the whole thing aside from the squid (we’re not too big on squid). The service was very good, but it was a quiet night. Might have been 2 other occupied tables there. Reasonable prices as well! We will be back.“

“We ate here after seeing Cirque du Soleil nearby with our two kids, 10 & 11. The restaurant was clean, and comfortably decorated. I wasn't worried too much about having what amounts to a grill in the middle of our table with the kids. It's obviously hot, but it's not like you'll lose a hand if you get too close here and there. Service was great. Our server was Yuki. He was very attentive, and explained how it worked, and answered any questions. When our food arrived, Yuki told us exactly what each item was, and exactly how long to cook it per side. Not a cheap place to go, especially with kids, but a nice treat after an otherwise fun-filled day with other new first experiences.“

“Had an incredible meal at One Sushi! Tried the pork ramen and lobster Rangoon, and both dishes were delicious. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming thanks to the wonderful staff and the owner, who has such a kind, genuine personality. It was exactly the kind of dining experience I was hoping for. Can’t wait to return and bring friends with me next time!“

“Good food,great people,fantastic atmosphere 🍻“

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

“The food is fabulous and highly recommend“

“At this point, MF sushi has become a Friday night tradition. My friend and I are addicted to their Avocado caviar appetizer. We love to sit at the bar for dinner & cocktails.

It's such a great date night spot because the ambiance. I love the elegant decor and the service is always wonderful.

See you tomorrow!“

“Our first visit to Tomo was remarkable. The sushi tasted fresh and delicious, with outstanding quality throughout every dish. Our server May was pleasant and attentive; she was exceptionally knowledgeable, and her recommendations impressed us. The welcoming energy from everyone felt rare and valuable in Atlanta. Our first visit was so favorable that we returned two days later. The bartender, Joe, was phenomenal.“

“Decided to try this spot for an early, very casual dinner while in the area and was pleasantly impressed with the service, food, and atmosphere. We ordered the shrimp bowl and it was delicious! The food came out quick and service was excellent. It’s a small very casual spot, so it was perfect for us. They offer authentic food, drinks, and even snacks/goodies. Definitely recommend!“

“Calvin ensured our group had the most amazing experience. From cocktails, to Sake, to the food… omg the food. Freshest sushi I’ve ever had in the city. The flavors were balanced and yet explosive. Literally everything was incredible. Make sure you try the lychee martini! If sake is what you’re craving, order a bottle of the Big Hawk. It pairs perfectly with everything on their menu.“

“It's good amount of food. You get a paper and you order what you like. I have a lot of big respect for local restaurant and small business because it's not easy out there. For our experience, service was nice. Sushi and hibachi rice, wings were okay. They need more seasoning. The hibachi meat need to be cook better; Sushi needs to have more flavor. Just work on it and may your business last long.“

“Great sushi! Love the chef. Always friendly and thoughtful.“

“Every piece of sushi they have is so fresh and the specialty pieces are absolutely exquisite. 10/10 can’t recommend this place enough“

“The attention to detail from everyone worling here is a work of art within itself that needs to be brought attention to and sincerely appreciated. If you don't know what to order here, the Toro is the one thing you need to try here! This fatty tuna is so buttery and smooth to the point where it melts in your mouth when you bite into it.“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Wasn’t able to take a picture of the tonkotsu ramen and tonkatsu set because I got too excited to eat it! Would definitely come back ❤️“

“Big “Thank you” to Dave (Manager) for his generosity in donating gift cards to Girl Scout Troop # 19799 at Dolvin Elementary in John’s Creek GA. This group is working to achieve their Bronze Service Award by collecting toiletries and birthday supplies for charity. This is one of the many reasons why we love our local Mellow Mushroom and appreciate their support in the community.“

“A true hidden gem. Went here with friends this year and last year. Overall the seating inside is small only 8 tables but the service is great and the food is tasty. The wait time for the food can be long but it is worth it. Food comes piping hot and is fresh. I got the vegetable curry which was cooked perfectly, not spicy, and went well with white rice. Actually needed to order 2 more orders of white rice to make sure I used all of the sauce because it was so good. Highly recommend this place. Tempura is tasty is too. Prices are very reasonable.“

“Japanese Sushi Menu with a creative flare!“

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“Just had lunch with friends. The food was incredible and the staff very friendly. The interior design is amazing. If you love yakitori you won’t be disappointed. If you’ve never tried it, you really should. The miso soup is very good and the post meal Japanese melon is a surprising finish to a great meal. Looking forward to trying out the dinner menu. Full cocktail bar on the way! 10 out of 10.“

“Joined birthday party here. First time to eat Japanese food in such high temperatures environment. The open windows bar looks pretty but eat inside is kind of disaster. Uni pasta tastes only creamy even you mix all the ingredients together. Nigiri looks pretty. BTW the service people is friendly.“

“We had an amazing time!! the food came out super fast and everything was delicious. A huge thanks to Jason for helping us cook and teaching us everything with a big smile and such kindness 😊 It was a moment I’ll always remember, and I hope to come back soon. Thanks again, Jason, and thanks for writing in my notebook!! 100% recommended ✨“

“My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday and we have nothing but good things to say! It’s run by a wife and husband and their daily hours are limited which allows for the food to be 10/10 also really recommended placing a reservation prior to going or else you might be turned away as they have only a limited amount of tables to also help the experience and be tended to in the best way. The sushi and sashimi is so fresh and delightful not in anyways fishy! We also had the beef skewer and that was also phenomenal! They knew we were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and brought out extra treats for us and made this experience 100 times better, if that’s even possible! We can’t wait to be back, we are already planning our next trip back!“

“I had an incredible time at Yuji! I was visiting Atlanta for a concert, and decided to come here on my last night (March 3rd, 2026) before flying home as a treat. The food was absolutely fantastic. It was very high quality and the option for actual grated wasabi root really made me happy.

I have new mobility issues, yet look healthy, and I'm only 30, so I was concerned about bringing in my walker and where it could be stowed or how someone would perceive me with it.

Not only was the entire staff super accommodating, nobody batted an eye or mentioned it to me at all.

My waiter, who goes by Cooper, was an incredible person. He was super kind and was easy to have conversation with. We talked our sushi journeys and experiences, and I ended up moving to sit next to and having a conversation with another man, and Cooper as well, for at least an hour. It was an overall incredible night.

Highly recommend!“

“The food exceeded expectations. The nigiri and shashimi slices were thicker than other places, fresh, and tender. Service was great as well.“

“Always amazing food and service!! It's definitely my go-to sushi spot, everytime! I love the complimentary dessert they serve at the end as well, its just icing on the cake!! xoxoxo“

“The food at Mikata was absolutely out of this world—without a doubt, the best sushi I’ve ever had! The enoki mushroom chips are a must-try. They’re unique and unlike anything I’ve had before, but they are SO good. The cocktails were top-notch and perfectly crafted as well.

A special thank you to Brian and Julia for providing such a wonderful birthday lunch experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Mikata to anyone looking for exceptional sushi and drinks in Atlanta!“

“Great service, hot seasoned food, very impressive. Sushi was great! Hibachi was great! Salt and pepper shrimp great!“

“My husband and I had an early Valentine's Day dinner her last evening. We absolutely loved it. Vicky and Nick were pleasant and just down right inviting. The meal was delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic. We will come again and next time we'll bring friends.“

“This was my first time eating at JP’s. By far, the best sushi experience I have had at any sushi restaurants I have ever eaten at in Georgia. The restaurant is comfortable and spacious inside. The service is excellent, very attentive and kind hostess and waitresses. The menu also offers so many creative dishes and sushi rolls. The absolute must try is the Rambada roll. Absolutely delicious. Rolls are all quite large and reasonably priced. This is now my favorite sushi place and one we will be frequenting more often.“

“Very good food, reasonable prices, fast service and friendly staff.

I had eaten at the old place (Korean chicken) and I was interested in the express hibachi for dinner tonight. From the time I walked in until I left with my food was under 10 minutes. Everything appeared to be cooked fresh and they used all white meat chicken. The egg rolls were fine as was the rice and vegetables - but overall the taste wasn’t as rich as I’d hoped.“

“We had a wonderful birthday celebration here tonight. Thanks to my sweet daughter.
She made the reservation. Love it. The music and atmosphere and ambience is absolutely amazing.
Service and attention is absolutely top n amazing. Jeff and his team made it wonderful all the way. Thank you very much!
The lobster tempura roll and spider roll were very disappointing because all the other food was super delicious and top notch. Thank you for my birthday dessert.“

“グレードの高い刺身が沢山。 オーナーさんもとても親切で居心地が良いです。“

“I had an excellent experience at Sayo. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and overall quality of the restaurant. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish was prepared with great attention to detail, and the service was professional and courteous throughout the entire visit.

It’s clear that Sayo takes pride in both the quality of their food and the experience they provide to their guests. I truly enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend Sayo to anyone looking for a great sushi restaurant with excellent food, service, and atmosphere. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“Food and serve were spectacular! We for a kiddos birthday that loves sushi, but he ended up more at the hot bar! 100% recommend!“

“Amazing food and friendly staff! I have visited twice and both times I've left full and happy.“

“I came here on a recent date night, and the restaurant was pretty quiet. We had some great sushi rolls and lots to choose from. We also got some cold saki and the saki sangria, which was surprisingly good.

The service could have been a little more attentive I thought with the restaurant not being very busy.“
