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 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!“

“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!“

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

“This place is really good. Do not let the location fool you. The sushi is as good if not better than several upscale Buckhead Japanese restaurants. Always fresh and consistent. Customer service is friendly and attentive. This is a Roswell gem!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Unforgettable experience! I most enjoyed the lobster toban yaki and A5 wagyu nigiri (even picky eaters will love these), as well as the king salmon and sea bass nigiri (so very buttery!). Michelle—our server—was kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and really elevated the experience to something truly exceptional. We went later in service and were never made to feel rushed. Plus, the matcha tiramisu was smooth with a balanced earthy taste—perfect for someone like myself who doesn’t adore super sweet deserts. Delightful!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Japanese Sushi Menu with a creative flare!“

“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.“

“This was hands down the best sushi we’ve ever had. Every roll was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was amazing from the moment we walked in, and the staff made us feel welcome the entire time. The atmosphere was great too—clean, comfortable, and the perfect place to enjoy a meal. If you’re a sushi fan, this is a spot you absolutely need to try. We will definitely be coming back!“

“My boyfriend always brought me takeout from this place. Finally got to eat at the restaurant. EVERYTHING was soooo fresh and delicious. I got sashimi appetizer, uni, sweet shrimp, and grilled saba. Good portion, good service, and reasonable price. Everyone always smiles. Will definitely come back!“

“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“

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

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

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

“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 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 :)“

“Wow ! Absolutely blew me away ! Me and my wife ordered an online order just a little before closing time and wow! The food was incredible , everything we ate had so much flavor , the amount of food we received was incredible and the staff was very friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do . If you’re reading this review it’s me telling you to go try UFO Hibachhi ASAP , you definitely won’t be disappointed !“

“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’ve eaten sushi all over Atlanta, and NoriFish stands in a different category.

The fish is flown in from Japan, and it shows. More importantly, it tastes like it.

Every course felt intentional—from the pristine nigiri to the beautifully plated seasonal bites and hand rolls. The quality of the fish was immediately apparent: rich, clean, buttery, and incredibly fresh. Several pieces were among the best I’ve had anywhere, not just in Georgia but New York as well.

What made this experience even more special was sharing it with my wife. Before NoriFish, sushi was never really her thing. She would go with me because she knew I enjoyed it, but it was never something she actively craved. Since our meal, she hasn’t stopped talking about it and keeps asking when we’re going back. That alone says more than any review I could write.

As someone who hopes to take my wife to Japan one day, seeing her genuinely fall in love with this style of dining made me incredibly happy. NoriFish didn’t just serve us an amazing meal—it opened the door to an experience I can’t wait to share with her again in the future.

The service was polished, the pacing was perfect, and every course felt like it belonged in a much larger food city than Atlanta. You can tell there is real care behind every detail.

If you appreciate true omakase and want to understand what premium Japanese seafood tastes like when treated with respect, book a seat at NoriFish.

Absolutely worth it. Five stars.“

“Simply the BEST Ramen Soup ever 😎“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.)“

“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.“

“Our family has been loyal customers of Asahi for close to twenty years and were so sad to find out that it sold. Once we realized that the entire staff (and menu) has moved to Sake, we just had to follow.

We were greeted by our favorite familiar faces (who even remembered us instantly!) and couldn’t believe our luck. The food was the same delicious and amazing quality (especially their signature ginger dressing!), the chefs had their classic show, and the atmosphere was even better than it was before.

Thank you for a lovely evening and we are so happy to make Sake our new hibachi home!“

“Amazing take out tonight! Our first time— we tried the steak hibachi dinner, cheese wontons, 92 roll, phoenix roll, and angel roll. The waitress helped us pick out the rolls based on what we like which was super helpful. Our order was ready quick and everything tasted 10/10. Will definitely be back to this neighborhood spot!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Really enjoy my experience every time I visit. Food is awesome and the price is great.“
