50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Dunwoody

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

“The food was delicious, and Patrick was such a wonderful server! He was so friendly and made sure we were taken care of. He was really good about the pacing, checking back just when we needed him. He'd definitely make an amazing manager! Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“really amazing food. so fast and delicious! wonderful experience! Kaya Signature with the Karaage ...perfect spice, flavor, texture, broth. we were here at noon and had our food in 15 min from the moment we walked in the door and we did not rush to order.“

“Cozy and unpretentious spot for great sushi and Japanese favorites. The jalapeno bombs are....the bomb. The prices are great, especially compared to Canton Street, with better quality and service. Two apps, four rolls and three beers for less than $100 including tax. The wait staff was amazing, friendly and attentive. I think we may have found our new go-to sushi spot in Roswell.“

“Good stuffs, good service“

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

“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!“

“The portions are generous and you definitely won't leave hungry. However, the quality of the sashimi doesn't quite reach the authentic Japanese standard. It’s a good spot if you value quantity, but might be a bit disappointing if you're looking for good sashimi quality.“

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

“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 stopped in here on a whim... spontaneous night out. The place has japanese vibes inside and was quite comfortable. They appeared busy and our food still came out fast. Food..... was GREAT. Best fried rice we have ever had. We did the large sashimi platter, and some Nigiri blue fin Toro and wagyu A5. I see a bad review or two in the reviews.... not sure if they caught them on a bad night or something but, for us.... this was great. Added to our list we would consider becoming regulars.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love this place! Such a diverse menu and delicious flavors.“

“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 ramen, hospitable staff, and great time. Will definitely come back again. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.“

“If you haven't tried Mika's for great sushi, please give them a try. Richard and Anna are always helpful and deliver a fantastic product. And check out their HH specials!“

“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“

“Japanese Sushi Menu with a creative flare!“

“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!“

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

“Worth the drive. I’d be a regular if I were closer. I’m part Japanese, from Hawaii, and picky, and they absolutely delivered. Excellent service, low key vibe, and quality that beats the overpriced, trendy places in Atlanta. Highly recommend. Two bottles of chilled saki and multiple orders. Two people under $200.“

“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!“

“Spicy tuna poke bowl w/seaweed salad was excellent.“

“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!!!!😄“

“My favorite sushi restaurant period. We have been going here almost weekly for the last 7-8 years. We prefer to sit at the sushi bar when it’s just the two of us and order as much as we can eat. Our usuals include yellowtail jalapeño, miso soup, spicy tuna crispy rice & edamame. This is all then followed with sashimi, nigiri, signature nigiri and sometimes a lobster tobanyaki. Everything… and I mean EVERYTHING is AMAZING. I can honestly say I’ve never had a single thing I didn’t like or a day when anything wasn’t beyond perfect.
The only downside is that I love every single dessert and have room for only 1 or 2 each time. The chocolate kyu, angel food cake, green tea ice cream + chocolate soufflé, donut… ALL THE BEST DESSERTS. Out of all the restaurants in Atlanta- Umi’s the best.

I’ve also been to M upstairs (10000000/10) and love Himitsu as well but I wanted this review to only be for Umi.“

“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。“

“This place is delicious, affordable and our new favorite. We love the hibachi and everything you get with it (salad, soup, grilled veggies, chicken, rice and an egg roll). The sauces are so yummy and everything is always perfectly cooked. The staff is so friendly and accommodating as well. We are so happy we tried this little gem.“

“Real Japanese - Peruvian fusion cuisine that can easily become a favorite spot.“

“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“

“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.“

“Hands down, the best sushi I've ever had. They incorporate truffle oil in some of their rolls and if you like truffle, you cannot go wrong. Very savory. I'd recommend the avocado balls, crunchy spicy tuna roll and the snow crab in miso soup. The truffle aioli salmon appetizer is another hit. The cocktails - Wow! Thai Me Up is a their version of a spicy margarita but they use some sort of oil and it is delicious! I'll be craving that drink for a long time. It's not cheap but if you're looking for a treat or have a special occasion, it's a full recommend from me! Thank you goes out to Kelly, our server, who steered us towards the fantastic dish selections.“

“My friends and I came and all got multiple things. The salmon sushi burrito was so good! They enjoyed the pho, not too spicy. My absolute favorite though was the ramen. The closest to authentic Japanese I have found in GA! So so good! Will be back!“

“This is the best hibachi takeout in Alpharetta. You can order for pick up directly on their website and the food is always hot when I pick up. The flavor is much better than other hibachi restaurants; it’s our go to for nights when we want to order food in.“

“Wow! The new management/owners of Wasabi have made great changes. The food (especially the sushi) is delicious - everything was fresh and presented in a lovely way. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The staff is efficient and the service is fast. We stopped in for a quick dinner and it was delicious and fast. It's still a great place for a relaxed dining experience, but the new team is really firing on all cylinders. Our server, Alex, was great. Highly recommend for a relaxed dining experience or a quick delicious dinner.“

“The place wasn't very busy when I visited, but since the reviews were good, I decided to try it, and I was pleasantly surprised. The prices are very reasonable and the sushi is pretty good. I think I'm going to be coming over here more often“

“I love the Yuzu sushi in Brookhaven/ Chamblee. The ambiance is nice. As an architect I love seeing the Japanese style in the interior design of this place. The food is great, and the staff are friendly with an amazing memory! They remembered us in the second visit!“

“Simply the BEST Ramen Soup ever 😎“

“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“

“Hidden gem with delicious food located inside a semi-abandoned mall. Whenever I’m in town for work, I stay nearby and often pick up their buffet style take-out for supper. The mixed vegetables are my favorite and the various chicken options I’ve had have always been tasty. I usually get the 1 meat + 2 side combo with an additional side and have enough food for at least 2 meals. The food is served hot and always tastes fresh during the times I’ve visited, usually weekdays after work or during lunchtime. All the staff is polite and personable and the older well-dressed lady is always so sweet and complimentary, even with a slight language barrier.

Because there is almost nothing else on that back side of the mall, there is no traffic and plenty of close parking so I am in and out in 5 minutes.

Why eat ultra-processed fast food when you can have nice-sized portions of better food served quickly and for a good price while also supporting a small local business? Ignore the shady bando-looking mall surroundings and don’t miss out on Tokyo Express!

(Note: I always get the buffet to go so I cannot comment on ordering off the menu or doing a call-in order.)“

“Met a friend for lunch and it was a great experience. Fresh to order rolls, well done and generous sizing. The house salad alone was crisp, abundant and full of color which is not the norm. Dressing was a perfect amount. Ordered 3 rolls and they were executed well. Everything came out orderly and on time. Our server Carolina was wonderful and attentive. Aesthetic is top notch, surrounded by cherry blossoms and lanterns with ambient lighting. Insta worthy! Will definitely be back!“

“Not only does the place smell so good inside… food is hot crisp and delicious!“

“We host a small car meet (approved permission by property owners) on Thursdays. We come in for sushi or hibachi at some point and I love this little spot. Great atmosphere and service. I got the black dragon roll. I'm not gonna lie, I thought I ordered something with shrimp in it. I wasn't paying attention when I ordered. The dragon roll came with eel. I didn't know till after I started eating it but I was taken aback by how good it was! I will definitely eat here more often and if you're on the fence about what to eat while you're out and about in Roswell... I highly recommend trying this place.“
