50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Dunwoody

“Mikata is my favorite sushi spot! I come here for my birthday, date nights, and without any occasion! The staff is nice but the food is crazy good. My favorite is the Snow White roll and the rainbow roll. I have never had to wait super long either. Atmosphere is nice and classy too.“

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

“My first time at the stall in Politan Row.
The customer service was good. I ordered hibachi fried rice and veggies (pictured) and the California roll. The California roll was really good, I forgot to get a picture lol
I asked for the rice and veggies to be cooked together, however they weren’t and so I added them together. I didn’t like the rice and veggies too much. The sushi was really good! I’ll return again for sushi only.“

“First time there. Had a great 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.“

“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!“

“Best portions & friendliest wait staff/chefs we’ve ever had! Sushi is always excellent & the staff treats us like we’re family. Each time we go, the chefs give us complimentary extra food. Minato is a hidden gem & never disappoints :) Our go-to for sushi for many years.“

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

“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.“

“First time eating here, the sushi and gyoza were amazing. The food is so delicious and the service is fast and attentive. The atmosphere is very laidback, but the food is next level. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend giving this place a try.“

“Good stuffs, good service“

“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!“

“Tried out the place for a celebration dinner. The food and service were great. The shrimp roll appetizer was perfect, the crab rolled up in cucumber very light, the ritz roll was yum, and sashimi fresh. Definitely try the black sesame ice cream 👍 the only thing I didn’t care for was the sports playing on the tv, it changed the vibe for the evening.“

“The NoriFish experience was exquisite. We opted for the standard omakase option, and the chef did not disappoint. Each dish was thoughtfully curated and delectable. The space itself felt intimate with a small number of tables available. We were well cared for and had a wonderful evening enjoying both familiar and new flavor profiles. The meal felt complete without leaving you feeling overstuffed.“

“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.“

“The udon noodle soup stood out for how clean the broth tasted.. Everything seemed very fresh. the shrimp and veggies had nice texture and flavor. They don't skimp on the shrimp which I appreciate! The spicy bluefin tuna rolls were apparently good as well. The gyoza was slightly better than the sushi however, although marginally. We also had the edamame. I would highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Been coming here for many years and have always had a great experience with their food and staff. The tuna sashimi is always super fresh along with their other sushi dishes.Take out orders have always been correctly filled. Highly recommended.“

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

“I’ve been twice in a week, and all I can say is wow. Since visiting Japan two years ago, only one other place has compared to the authenticity, vibrant colors, elevated flavors, and expertly crafted plating. Hands down the best in the Atlanta area.“

“A must visit. You are missing out =)“

“NoriFish was a great omakase experience. I've tried several high-end omakase restaurants, so I was excited to see how this one compared, especially at its lower price point. It held its own: the food was delicious and the service was attentive and warm.

They offer two omakase options. We chose the smaller one and still left full. With a drink and tip, it came to about $150 per person, a solid value for the quality. Free 3-hour parking is a nice bonus too.

If you enjoy trying different flavors and taking your time over a great meal with good company, I'd definitely recommend NoriFish!“

“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.“

“Oh my goodness!!! Such a great spot !! So much flavor in everything!! Very friendly & attentive server . Must try the carbonara udon , it’s absolutely incredible. I loved the tempura shrimp and veggies as well. Absolutely recommend!“

“I've been coming here often for lunch break. The hibachi is always cooked perfectly and everything taste so fresh, especially the sushi. The spring rolls are a standout: crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Friendly service and great atmosphere too.“

“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“

“Best Korean food I’ve had at a restaurant! I’ve been a customer of Jang Su Jang for years and it never disappoints. Every dish I’ve tried is delicious and like eating at grandma’s. Highly recommend the LA galbi!
The interior is spacious and modern, creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere. Tends to get busy on the weekends, so you might want to make a reservation if you have a larger party.“

“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!“

“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 food at reasonable prices.“

“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.“

“Fantastic sushi! I have only tried two rolls, miso soup, and gyoza here when I visited for the first time. Everything I tried is very flavorful without being overly seasoned. A difficult balance to strike, and they did it very well. The service was quick and polite. Great experience. Will definitely return.“

“Japanese Sushi Menu with a creative flare!“

“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.“

“Simply the BEST Ramen Soup ever 😎“

“My husband and I are Chinese, and we drove about 30 minutes just to try this restaurant. It was also our very first Omakase experience, and we absolutely loved it!

Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious, and we enjoyed every course. Toward the end of the evening, my husband and I were the only two guests left with the chef. It felt so peaceful, intimate, and romantic—almost like we had the whole place to ourselves. ❤️

It was such a special experience and definitely worth the drive. We’re so glad we came and will definitely be back! 🍣✨“

“Great experience! The staff were very nice and the food came out in a timely manner. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The tonkatsu was delicious and juicy—not dry at all! I also tried eating it with the matcha salt, which was very different but surprisingly delicious. Would definitely come back!“

“I actually found Bobo Izakaya through TikTok! While I was looking for new places to celebrate for a birthday dinner date, Bobo Izakaya intrigued me with their private tatami rooms and amazing prices. Though we opted against selecting the private room this go-round, I'm definitely looking forward to returning for the full experience as I haven't found many places in Metro ATL that have them.

The Chicken Tempura Udon was great and flavorful, and my date really enjoyed the Bobo Roll and Yellow Jacket roll, inspired by Georgia Tech of course. As it was his birthday, the restaurant truly made the night special by generously giving us our dessert (the Matcha Ice Cream) on the house.

The staff was super attentive throughout the night and the ambiance was truly unmatched, making it a special selection in North Druid Hills. I definitely recommend for a date night or low-key night out. Thanks to the Bobo Izakaya team!“

“Such a great experience at Umi! We came for our anniversary and everything was excellent, from the quality of the food to the warm, attentive service. The Hurricane Roll and Typhoon Roll were standouts, and the Sake Aioli and Hamachi Nigiri were both amazing. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“The food is as delicious and unique as it is beautifully plated. Amazing experience!“

“So glad I finally had a chance to try Koshu Club! Beautiful space, delicious cocktails & food. Everyone there was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Favorites were the white rabbit cocktail, otoro aburi, potato mochi, and coconut ice cream, but definitely will be back to try more!“

“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.“

“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!“

“we had a sushi combo sashimi and gyoza. everything was perfection!“

“I absolutely love this place! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The guy who usually works there and offers samples to everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming,he always makes the experience even better. This spot is truly a hidden gem inside Cumberland Mall, and I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re there!“

“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.“

“I gave this place 5 stars because it's usually excellent, and I've consistently had positive experiences here. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because the new young woman working the front desk on 8/3 wasn't very welcoming. She spoke very little, didn't greet or engage with customers, and mostly just stared, which came across as unfriendly. I hope this was just an off day, because the rest of the staff and my experiences here have always been great.“
