“I hardly write reviews, but had to give a huge shoutout to our favorite sushi spot in Atlanta for their incredible service last night. I’m gluten free and 4 months pregnant so with those two things combined most sushi places would be off limits but not Eight! Our server took the time to walk me through everything on the menu I could still order and even things off menu they could make for me. We landed on the king crab nigiri and off menu avocado shrimp roll with gluten free soy sauce. Both items were fantastic. Our sweet server even brought out this adorable congratulatory dessert at the end! Thanks for another great meal Eight!“
“O-Ku never misses, and this restaurant is literally my favorite place in Atlanta. My fiance and I were celebrating our Birthdays and Joe and Jazmine really made this birthday special for us. We were greeted by Joe, who is always super friendly and inviting. He also added beautiful flowers to the table due to the occasion. Our waitress, Jazmine, was also super friendly and knowledgeable and added the final touches to a perfect date night/celebration. As always, thanks for the great time =D“
“The food was great and the service was exceptional. Compared to Hayakawa, Mujo seems to have a bit more of a modern take. The ambience was moody and the restaurant was constantly buzzing with conversation and laughs. I loved the presentation, the staff, and the quality.“
“Really special experience, unmatched in Atlanta. Pricey, obviously, but it almost transcends dining.The food quality can't be overstated. Sake recs were top notch. The kind of "above and beyond" service you only get at a place like this. The chef is so personable and engaging.“
“Ate here tonight! Such a cute & decently priced place. The appetizer (spicy cheese karaage) I got was absolutely delicious and the matcha cheesecake was perfect. I can’t wait to come back again! Our server wasn’t the most present but it was quite busy (even on a Wednesday night).Parking: You can pay to park in a nearby lot but can get it validated!“
“Literally the best sushi I've ever had!!! The sake we had was magnificent, if you are in Atlanta you need to visit The Kinjo Room!! We were absolutely blown away, we will be coming back to Atlanta just for this restaurant. Our waitress was phenomenal, the food was majestic, and the all around atmosphere was marvelous!“
“I loved the food, the service was excellent, but I have to note something that I had to bring up with the manager, who by the way was our waitress as well. When I arrived with my husband the restaurant was at about half capacity. We were promptly seated at a small table near the rear. As the capacity grew, I noticed that 2 additional couples had been seated in the same section at the same type of smaller table. I mention this because, the only 3 African American couples in the restaurant were seated near the rear, at these smaller tables, while other couples were seated at larger tables near the rear or at tables closer to the front of the restaurant. Maybe this was a huge coincidence, but none the less I brought this to the attention of the manager, who immediately stated that the restaurant was not racist. I informed her that I was not stating that. The service and food were great, but the optics of the situation did not look good and that they should acknowledge that behavior and correct it in the future.“
“Tastiest airport food I've ever had. Can be a pretty penny, but it was worth it for me (a traveler who was getting sick and tired of greasy food). I had the salmon and a glass of sake. SO good. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Atlanta looking to treat myself.“
“My dinner at Ray's was a simply magical! Tee was our waitress and she was superb! Tee communicated clearly, got all of the meals delivered at almost the same time for our party of 15. All drink orders were correct and she even delivered hot towels after dinner.“
“Nice place. Enjoyed everything I ate. I think the spider roll was a bit bland, maybe not enough sauce, but not completely sure what was missing. Other than that, seemed like a nice place. Nice selection as well. They have Uni, which I find to be a little more rare lately, so that was a plus. But I didn’t get it since it was a tad out of my price range.Service was good, the server made sure to stop by periodically to check on me. I would go again, but will try other things to see how some cooked items are, as well as other rolls.“
“Stopped by for lunch and ordered a falafel sandwich. It was delicious!!! The falafel was fresh and had a nice crunch to it!! The bread, along with the vegetables, was fresh. Service was fast. Enjoyed the nice kick of spice in the sauce. The sandwich was sooo good and I will definitely return to try it again. Yum!“
“Had last minute dinner here while passing by and it was a great choice! The combo dinners are a great deal and you get a decent amount of food for the price, especially for Japanese cuisine. The only hiccup was they got our order wrong but was quickly fixed, but we had also seen a table next to us get the wrong order. Very small space but we were seated quickly on a Sunday night. Space is tight so it was awkward to balance a purse in the seat and also make sure it won’t get knocked over. There’s a designated parking lot in the back and other parking options nearby.Parking: Tight lot in the back. Host can tell you more options at a nearby restaurant/street.“
“We came here for a lunch with work colleagues and I had an amazing time. The food was good. The service was good. The prices were good. I got sesame chicken and fried rice, dumplings as an appetizer, with a Thai tea. My total was right at $35. Everything tasted amazing. The portions were good enough that I was full and didn’t need to eat again until dinner. The restaurant was open and inviting. There are really big windows that look out onto the street and the area they are in is pretty. It’s walking distance to a lot of other things as well, so if you’re out and want to explore the area this is a good spot to stop at for food. Parking is just down the street and only a few dollars. The restaurant also validates. There is enough space in here for a group to eat comfortably. The decor is authentic and beautiful as well. You’ll enjoy your experience here.“
“Stopped in for dinner on vacation with my wife and two children. We were all incredibly impressed. We had the calamari, fried rice, and a few rolls; all of them were excellent. Teddy was fantastic at making suggestions and made the experience even more enjoyable.“
“Perfect restaurant with amazing service and delicious food! The staff gave great recommendations. Our food was prepared in a timely manner and the flavors were present! For entrees we ordered the lemongrass grilled chicken (Grilled chicken, marinated in fresh lemongrass. Served with sautéed mixed vegetables, bell peppers, mushrooms, and our sweet chili sauce) and the Massaman chicken *mild spice* (Mildly spiced sweet coconut Massaman curry with onions, avocado and cashews). They have a large menu that will satisfy anyone’s tastebuds. I love the neighborhood feel of this restaurant and the music selection. I will definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: The menu has a legend for different dietary needs“
“This is our second time visiting the restaurant and we are not disappointed. The entrees were delicious. The only odd thing was one of the sushi items was really small and we had thought we'd be sharing a roll. It was not really explained very well. Aside from that, everything else was terrific. I hope it's a success.“
“I never got any food poisoning and I tried 3 different items. I loved the creativity with the sushi. I got the sushi donut (salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, crab salad), sushi corndog, and sushi pizza (salmon). Service was good. Staff was nice. There are benches to sit at if you don’t come at a busy time. Prices are fair.“
“I'm so glad this restaurant was recommended to me. It's located in Truist Plaza. Great ambiance. There is a full bar here. Cute place for a date night or solo.There is a sushi and sashimi lunch available from 11:30am-2:00pm & Happy hour 4:00-6:00 pm with up to 50% off sushi rolls for DINE IN ONLY.The Spicy calamari was good. I did expect it to be a little more crisp on the outside. Very fresh.The Chicken Thai basil noodles had a nice flavor and a good portion. Really enjoyed the Phoenix roll. Brussel sprouts were delightful. Not everyone makes good brussel sprouts, but Pacific Rim nailed it. Thai yellow curry shrimp had a good flavor. Thoroughly enjoyed the Chirashi Don. Very fresh, and good assortment of fish.Overall, I would recommend this location and look forward to returning to try new items on the menu.“
“Stopped in just before a Shen Yuen performance...decided 5o stop in because it looked so inviting, vivacious colorw that pop and a cleanliness you can see and feel from outside the eatery. As we ordered, the cashier was suoer helpful with menu options and offered us ice cream samples which were to die for[a purple, caramel tasting icecream] then in no time at all we were being served our meals at our tables and it was exhibit worthy.... live the staff's friendliness, the taste of authentic raw sushi ? ? and the vibe that you feel within the Sukoshi house.“

“This has quickly become a go-to spot for sushi in my neighborhood. The menu is extensive so there’s always an opportunity to try something new and so far, everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. My only complaint is that I haven’t loved very many of the cocktails that I’ve ordered. They’re always incredibly strong (which is not always a complaint to everyone) but not to my taste personally. Otherwise, this is a restaurant that I recommend often and fervently.“
“Update 2024: Original review still mostly holds up. This is probably my family's favorite place to go regularly for casual sushi, though I do find the original midtown location superior to this one when I am able to get there. My main issue with this now is that it is small and with a very limited number of 4+ seat tables. It seems like it has gotten more popular, which is great, but when the outdoor seating isn't in play, be prepared to wait for a table especially if your party is larger than 2.Original Review: Really good Japanese food. They have good sushi and sashimi but what really sets them apart is their deeper Japanese fare. They have Ramen, but also Soba, Katsu, and Okonomyaki (and a good Takoyaki app). Back to the Sushi, it's always good to check their specials board (unfortunately located past most of the tables next to the Sushi bar) as they regularly have things like Toro/Otoro, Uni, and fresh Wasabi. It will cost you but is worth it if you are an aficianado.“
“For hibachi to go, you cannot beat this place. It's a special stop anytime I'm working on this side of town. I add a healthy amount of chili sauce for some kick. The portions are large and will fill you up. Price is less than most fast-food spots.“
“My Love and I visited this restaurant on a whim after seeing Jurassic Park. Wonderful decision! While always a sushi lover, never tried a hand roll. Had the spicy tuna one...superb! Also had Wonton soup and split the Hawaiian sushi roll ( after the waitress recommended. She was Great btw!). Will be going back! We've found a jewel!“
“Came in for a quick bite - we had already eaten dinner elsewhere. The reason we came was for dessert - I really like mango sticky rice and wanted to try theirs! I did like it, it had nice balance of flavors. I’m still most partial to Ruby Chows mango sticky rice, but this was a good runner up.My husband got the spring rolls for a snack and didn’t care for it.he was disappointed they didn’t have spicy mustard. He said he wouldn’t come back.Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options, but many meat entrees. The mango sticky rice is vegetarian! :)Parking: It can be hard to find (free) parking around here - you can if you go into neighborhood and walk. But most of the parking lots around are paid (and hefty prices! On weekends we saw signs of people asking for $20 to park!) luckily we bike many places so we don’t have to worry about car parking.Wheelchair accessibility: You have to climb some stairs to get up to the dining area, so that would make it hard for a wheelchair impaired person. I’m honestly not sure if they have elevator as we didn’t need so I didn’t look for it“
“Really good customer service, and for inexpensive food court food, this is shockingly good. The noodles in particular are unusual but addictive. They have rather good customer service too; you see them really making an effort when the line gets long to make sure everyone's fairly served. The atmosphere is never going to impress - it's in a food court. This is a place where I'll normally eat a few times per visit to the city.Vegetarian options: I don't eat meat, and they usually have several rolls, noodles, and other things I'll like.“
“We went during the day and the lighting was very low. We initially thought the place was closed. They turned up the lighting once we were seated. The sushi was good and pics are provided. The tea wasn't good at all. The tea was like a blend of tea and coffee. The service was OK. I will probably come back and do takeout.“

“Ok.. This is my first time here. 11:22 on a Wednesday. The first thing I noticed is that the store is IMMACULATELY clean!!!!!I believe I beat the lunch rush but I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki special for 7.99. The chicken was cooked as soon as I ordered it and I like that it wasn’t just sitting there. It was fresh and piping hot.The food was great. .. I put some of that yum yum sauce on it and it set that thang off!!!I was so pleased with the experience I decided to write this review in the store. This is a lokey spot that you need to try out. I work 5 mins from here and I will be back.“
“The food was amazing, but didn't really fit the atmosphere. The restaurant was a bit small on the inside and seating was close to other customers. I thought the atmosphere didn't match the price of the food, that was on the more expensive side from other sushi restaurants that I've been to with similar atmosphere. However, THE FOOD WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. The portions of sushi was thickly cut and melted in my mouth. We ordered fatty tuna, yellowtail, tamago and salmon, and everything was delicious. We also ordered the miso ramen and soy sauce based one, and they were both really good. Absolutely would go again, but just giving a heads up that the food is worth the price, the atmosphere is not.Parking: There is street parking, but I'm not sure if it's free or not. We parked at the parking garage attached to The Pencil Factory and it was paid parking. The first 20 minutes were free I believe.“
“If you are looking for a nice and not too fancy place, this is the place for you. Waitress are super kind and friendly and food is good! Me and my wife we always enjoy our time here, the service is fast and also the pick up food is punctual and clean.“
“The food was tasty, but not exceptional. I tasted both the egg drop and sweet and sour soups, and the temperature was not hot. However, the egg drop was better.Food presentation was better than taste itself. One person ordered the shrimp fried rice, and it looked like it was just dumped onto the plate, while other rice dishes were shaped.???Ordered lemon pepper and braised wings dinners to go besides my meal, and received wrong meal. Didn't bother to contact restaurant due to distance it would take to return.Overall I think the meals were good, but could've been better“
“Solid hibachi bowl for a reasonable price! We grabbed hibachi for a quick, late lunch. It's great to be able to walk from nearby hotels to the cool food hall this is in. One of the bowls is for sure shareable or you'll have leftovers!“
“I LOVE Chin Chin 2 on Ponce. We've come here for years for both Chinese and Sushi. We only do takeout or delivery but the atmosphere is fine for a small Chinese/Sushi joint. Sushi is fresh and flavorful - chinese meals are always solid as well. After years eating here have never had an issue or a dropped ball which says alot. Plenty of parking but - be sure to be careful if you don't park in the spots just outside their door. On the other side of the lot it is paid parking and the "boot man" sits and waits for people to park and not pay. I've seen him boot people twice in the five mins it took to run in and pick up their food. Read signs carefully unless you park in the spots right in front of Chinchin/Verizon.“
“What made the whole experience was Lilly!This is someone you need to keep around!She was very attentive and very kind and patience with us while we skimmed the menus since we didn’t know what we want. She made recommendations and we went with them, and they were delicious. Will be back solely to have Lilly as our waitress!Thanks for making our experience awesome Lilly!“
“I picked up a Poke Burrito here and it was excellent!The Poke barista was very helpful and efficient.The atmosphere is really that of a food court - its located in a corporate food court area, so not like a cozy sit-down area unless you're aiming on getting work done or eat something quicklyThe food though is also great! Fresh fish, great quality veggies! Excellent!Parking: Better to walk to if you're already downtown/midtown“
“Overall the place is located on the second floor, place is not that big and not that small customer service was okay , the food for the price we pay was okay I had better. The bathroom smell good as soon as I walked in, has soap and paper towels wich for me is very important, I also order a piña colada with sake and it was good I also recommend it.“
“Today was my first time trying the thai food here and it was simply delicious!!♥️ The staff is super nice & the manager Shanty is so sweet! Will definitely ask my friends & family to eat here because they will love it!!Loved every last bite of it??“
