50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Chamblee

“Exceptional service, delicious food and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Omg. Probably the best sushi experience I have had in a long time. They were super busy and out of bunch of things we ordered, but what we got was executed perfectly. Can’t wait to go there again.“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“Good stuffs, good service“

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

“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!“

“This is some of the best Japanese food I have ever had in Atlanta, and I lived in Okinawa for 2½ years. It is limited menu and they concentrate on doing those dishes very well. It's very casual. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Their shrimp appetizer is amazing. It is light and crispy and the sauce they serve with is very flavorful. I order the spicy miso ramen with grilled chicken and a side of soy egg. It has a perfect level of heat that costs the back of your throat but it doesn't linger too long. Plus, they give you a large portion. My son got the curried udon noodles with fried chicken. I could tell it was good by the foodgasm face he made while eating it. I highly recommend this place. They take pride in their food and it definitely shows.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Tuna cutting omakase - wonderful experience“

“Went for Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend for the first time and was blown away by how good the food was. The appetizers and Signature Chef Rolls were out of this world and genuinely some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Our server Tommy was awesome and Keith was very helpful too. Will definately be coming back soon!“

“They have a delicious lychee Martini worth the try. Sushi is fresh. Service is attentive. Hand rolls are my go to. Tonight the table had the sushi dinner, hand rolls and sushi rolls, lo mein from kids menu and everything was delectable.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Viral Japanese Carbonara Udon in Metro Atlanta

Why fly to Japan to wait 3 hours in line for udon carbonara when we have it in Metro Atlanta ?
Udon Shin Shibuya or Menchirashi Harajuku doesn't have anything on this spot IYKYK.

Hands down best udon and tempura in the Atlanta area.

I see why ya'll are keeping this place a secret, Atlanta...

All of the noodles are perfectly toothsome and never too startchy at this must-try. Definitely in the top 3 best noodles in Metro Atlanta.

The tempura at this shop is by far my favorite in the area. Light, crispy, and never too oily. Using the freshest Japanese style ingredients, like; okra オクラ , kabocha カボチャ , and shiitake 椎茸 .

The unassuming cafe setup, kind Japanese staff, and SHOCKINGLY LOW PRICES are why I would consider this noodle shop massively underrated.

Do yourself a favor and eat here.

As someone that visits Japan annually just to create food content, I could not recommend this local spot for an authentic Japan experience.

1 うどんカルボナーラ Udon Carbonara $15
2 Purple Kari Kari Gyoza $5 Lacey gyoza
3 天ぷら Assorted Tempura $7 includes fried shrimp
4 稲庭うどん Inaniwa Udon $8 - Thinner, flatter udon. Amazing slippery texture.
5 Circle Q Cucumber pickles with ume ( plum ) fragrance.“

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“Japanese Sushi Menu with a creative flare!“

“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“

“This was the best meal I’ve ever had, and our server Danh made it the best experience ever!! He was so nice and attentive and funny and ensures that you get your money’s worth, and if you get him as your server, just know you’re about to have the best time!! Danh + the food was so great, we definitely would come back again in the near future! :))“

“Good food,great people,fantastic atmosphere 🍻“

“By far the best Japanese restaurant I've been to in Atlanta. Even compared to restaurants in Japan, Tokyo Shokudo would still be one of the best. Starting with appetizers, the skewers were amazing, the yakitori and shiitake mushrooms were some of the best I've ever had. For the entree, we ordered the Take Chirashi Don, and the sashimi was all incredibly fresh and high quality, with the rice and other assortments perfectly complimenting the fish. A vegetarian in our party ordered the agedashi tofu, and although I wasn't expecting much, the dish turned out to be a surprising favorite. The sauce is light yet fragrant and was absorbed into the tofu, giving it a very complex umami flavor. Would highly recommend going out of your way to visit.“

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

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

“My wife and I went for lunch and had a truly great meal and excellent service! The fish was fresh and well cut and the rice was well prepared. The shrimp tempura was excellent!! This is not cheap sushi but in this case you get what you pay for. Thank you!“

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

“I’m not sure why this isn’t the most hyped restaurant in Atlanta. The ambience, service, drinks, and cuisine are truly top tier; the wagyu taco is the unexpected best bite of food I’ve had in this city. NoriFish is a true gem and I hope to keep coming back for every special occasion.“

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

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“We had a wonderful experience at Umi! Four of us went and we decided to everything so that we could try multiple food items. We started wtih the Shrimp tempura and the Spicy tuna/crispy rice and they were both delicious. We moved on the avocado wasabi salads, wagyu beef appetizer, and several rolls topped off with the sea bass. Everything we tasted was outstanding - my two faves were the avocado salad and the wagyu beef! Our waitstaff were fun and attentive - we had a great time all the way around! We can't wait to go back :)“

“I went to Georgia business trip few days, I was disappointed in every restaurant but I found Soul Food. As expected from the reviews, it was fresh and the sauce was especially delicious!! The staff were very friendly and it was clean. Of course I would give it five stars, but I also want to give it ten stars!! I highly recommend Inoko!!!!😄“

“The food is fabulous and highly recommend“

“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!“

“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 used to go to the other venue of the MF when it was on Ponce, but it closed there, and I hadn't looked for another of its venues in years. Then a suggestion from Open Table popped into my email, and I decided, why not? I am so glad I did. The sushi was delicious, lovingly prepared and fresh as all get out! Though I was a solo diner, I was seated at a table and treated very well, which is not always the case everywhere. I will definitely come back to this welcoming place.“

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

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“Went to this place in Doraville, GA called Yebisuya where I had Omurice for the first time along with a Yebisuya Bun that I also got and tried for the first time. Omurice: although this wasn't the Omurice I was expecting this was definitely still a very delicious version. Underneath is a bed of fried rice that was just so good with an omelet layered on top of it. They give you 3 sauce choices Spicy Kewpie Mayo, Ketchup, and Tonkatsu sauce. I chose the spicy mayo which by the way wasn't spicy at all I could have ate a ton of that stuff with no problem and those that know me know I don't handle spice well lol. Yebisuya Bun: is basically a steamed bun with chicory, scallion, and I got it with Tonkatsu pork in it and yall when I tell yall I could have ate 10 of these bad boys. The bun was so soft and the filling was sooooo flavorful like you just have to try it. Go check these guys out the next time you're in Georgia or if you live in Georgia. 8.9/10 6035 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, Doraville, GA 30360“

“Fantastic food. Their sushi sashimi is incredibly fresh! The quality of food is unmatched and unexpected for GEORGIA quality sushi without hurting your pockets. Don’t underestimate this pocket friendly restaurant. The food is affordable, has great taste, and cooked to perfection. The interior is very relaxed and casual. Resembles the small town cafe’s you’d find in japan. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a traditional Japanese meal.“

“Sitting in the car writing this review immediately after dinner, which is something I’ve never done so quickly. This place is a GEM. The impeccable/kind service, the quality of the food, and the inventiveness of the dishes (the salts/sauces used) blew my mind. I’ve had omakase in a hole in the wall in Kyoto that this truly rivaled. They are doing something so special here and I can’t WAIT to go back!

Highlights: The Yuzu Ginger margarita, On Your Mark old fashioned, O-Toro, and Hotate Aburi were instant favorites.“

“1st time eating here and I Uber eat to my workplace and OMG it was worth it my coworker told me about it and I'm glad!! The price reasonable, great quality, good eats, I will be returning and just wow i had the half rice halve noodles, steak, shrimp, and vegetables it was good real good‼️‼️‼️“

“Fantastic experience at Mujo! Everything was impeccable. The food, drinks, and service. Although quite pricey (as are most sushi restaurants), I thought the experience was worth it. I had a wagyu tataki and a foie gras mini sandwhich that were both just spectacular as an add on to the omakase.“
