50 Best Japanese Restaurants near East Point

“Love the food but not our chef!“

“My fellow traveler and I stopped by on our way home to Virginia. It was a long day of travel, delayed flights, we just wanted to sit down and chill. We didn’t expect much out of an airport restaurant… But we were both blown away. Our server, Tarvis, was charming, professional, knowledgeable, and exceptional. The BLT with bacon jam, and the rice pudding with cinnamon and peaches was superb. (I could’ve eaten a whole jar of the bacon jam.) Tarvis, thank you for making two weary travelers leave your restaurant with pep in their step Keep on shining your light. And to any traveler who is leery of a place that serves a hamburger and a sushi roll… Fear not. This place is great.“

“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.“

“Tuna cutting omakase - wonderful experience“

“Incredible quality creativity presentation and authentic Japanese dishes. Over the top omakase and just brimming with freshness sashimi and sushi. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I really enjoyed my experience here as a black man. The owners were respectful and the food was made fresh to order (very good also). The parking was a little challenging but it is worth the effort. I tried a few different things here for the first time and it was very satisfying. I recommend a google search to learn what food here is being served and the owner educated me very well on the Japanese food culture.“

“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!“

“Fantastic omakase experience! Nothing over the top. Very fantastic cuts and I didn't leave hungry, even with the standard omakase. Only really 1 item my wife wasn't a fan of, which is winning. The cocktails were amazing. Kudos to the bar program, because those flavors and presentations were top notch. We will definitely be back.“

“It was a great experience dining at MF sushi. It was my 2nd time going. This time was for my wife's bday. They welcomed us as we are entering and asked whose bday it was. All the staff greeted us by saying happy bday. Food was great but bit pricey for some rolls we ordered. Overall experience was good that I would go back.“

“I enjoyed my shrimp and chicken hibachi. It was fresh and hot had just the rite amount of seasoning“

“This place is located in the Hub food court. It is connected to Hyatt Regency & Marriott Marquis through the Skywalk. We came every night of our stay & it was always fresh & the staff was great. The Dream Crab and Peachtree rolls were our fave! We also had the Dragon roll, miso soup & the sesame chicken. The price was about $10 per roll. It is amazing & prices are great!! Closes at 7pm! Must visit when in Atlanta!“

“The food at Ru San’s is inexpensive and plentiful. There are several dishes I really enjoy - the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer is yum, and I love the eggplant tempura. Age tofu hits the spot. The sushi is decent, and they offer quite a few sushi fusion options, as well as some bargain-priced 3-piece rolls. Like many Southern fusion Asian restaurants serving sushi rolls, the excess of sweet, sticky sauces drowning the delicate flavors of raw seafood is not appealing to me. But MOST people do like that, and I just ask for them to omit the sauce, which works well. This restaurant caters to its clientele, and the menu reflects that choice. Ru San’s will not be getting a Michelin star for sushi, but if you want that, there are at least 3 other restaurants in the A where you can find that. I keep coming back because it is easy, inexpensive, nearby, and generally tasty. Try it.“

“the atmosphere is great and the food is awesome“

“Customer service too tier they even gave customers free bottles of hand sanitizer I always rub the big pink pink quarts for good luck when I leave out the door lol I never have to wait for my online order 🙃 always promptly ready and yummy of course“

“This teriyaki joint is becoming one of my go to spots! Food is consistently good, fast service, reasonable price and well portioned. I get the chicken teriyaki with shrimp. I’ve gotten their tofu teriyaki and that is also bangin. It’s simple, they don’t have a big menu and don’t need one. Go for the teriyaki. If you have kids they have a very well priced kids teriyaki as well.“

“nothing short of awesome...food ..and service“

“Ordered from there twice in a week. Food was tasty and portions were good. Biggest difference from other Poke places was it wasn’t drowning in sauce, often making it too salty for my taste.

They got one start docked because my second order had seriously spoiled ginger. It was rank, so I’m not sure how it wasn’t caught. Luckily, it didn’t spoil the entire bowl.“

“The manager was very nice!!“

“Wonderful music on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday“

“Wasnt expecting such a small place, but those can be some of the best. Got the daily deal of 3 regular rolls (philly, eel-avo, spicy-tuna) for 14.99, and added a seaweed salad. $23 after tax well spent it was perfect for me and mom to share. Really wanted to give a full 5star but the wakame was a little too salty, spicy tuna had no spicy sauce(added sriracha at home), but all the rolls were more than decent. The guy at the register was nice so I asked about tip. There wasn't even a tip option like real japan lol! Not many good sushi options in the area, but this IS one.👍“

“This place is my go-to anytime I'm near the area. The price is right, and the food is so freaking good. I just had teriyaki shrimp and chicken, and it was fantastic!
Definitely recommend this place if you want your hibachi fix without hibachi prices!“

“I have been here twice now and can say this is just a really fun experience. If you enjoy craft cocktails, or just even something different than the usual fine dining scene GO! You will not regret it.

Onto the details! (without giving too much away). Prepare for like a tasting menu of cocktails. The times I have been there have been 4 cocktails, each paired with a bite of food, and an amuse-bouche. The experience is themed around a 70s-90s cult classic movie that rotates a couple times a year. So far I have been to Karate Kid and Pulp Fiction. They try to do everything they can to lean into the themes, which makes for some really fun drinks (and glasses).

It takes about an hour and a half and there are add-ons as well, I would always recommend the bump, and they probably will too. If you are a big drinker you can supplement with an additional craft cocktail, which are also delicious. If you are a light weight no worries, the standard menu will treat you just right.

The food bites are usually really good for what you would expect out of a taco joint in a bus... Think a mix between bar food and fine dining while trying to adhere to the theme. All together really good flavors and fun bites.

The service, atmosphere, food, and drinks are all top notch. It is just a really fun night, this spot makes for a great date night. Let loose, get into it, and have a great time.

Some tips:
It is two to a table, probably not the place to crowd in with 12 of your friends, although apparently the later serving can get rowdy.
Get the bump
Bring someone you feel comfortable sharing with
It is very red

If Tiger Sun actually reads this please add Tron to your theme list! I will be back“

“This place is fabulous. I will definitely visit again on my next trip 😊“

“Prices are amazing food is outstanding! Customer service is great we ordered the Black Spider Roll & Seafood Ramen xtra hot & spring rolls for the appetizer! Lily was our server go in & ask for her & Vicky made sure everything was great... 10/10 would highly recommend i'll be back soon“

“This is the first time my family and I are visiting Atlanta for my birthday and we couldn’t have picked a better place for a sushi/hibachi dinner. Jay and Soyoun were very attentive and friendly with their service, they gave excellent recommendations for our first time here. The food itself exceeded our expectations and couldn’t compare to other things we’ve tried!“

“My home away from home 🖤🖤🖤“

“The taste of the teppanyaki is really great. Especially after adding the delicious sauce, it's extremely tasty. The portion is very generous and it's really a good deal. One person can hardly finish it. The service is excellent. They greet you warmly every time you pass by.“

“Teriyaki portions are large. Quite good quality for fast food.

However. I have to comment on the service. It was 8 pm on a Friday, the kitchen was a bit delayed, the orders were piling up, but the young man at the cash was running the place like he owned it. Every patron got personal attention. Expectations were set. He followed up repeatedly with each table to see if anyone needed anything. Swept the place. Phenomenal. It felt like a sit down restaurant.

I’d trust this man with my establishment in a heartbeat. Teach him hiring and finances and he’ll be running the place.

Amazing. Best fast food experience of my life.

People below who say the teriyaki is too sweet. It’s teriyaki! It’s soy and sugar. What did they expect?“

“We wanted to go there for Mother’s Day but we were on a tight schedule to catch our flight. I called & asked if they could have the sushi boat ready for us when we arrived & when we got there it was all prepared for us. We had a delicious meal & we were able to get to the airport on time. So accommodating & can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Atlanta!“

“YES! I absolutely recommend Sri Thai Atlanta, if want a meal with satisfaction, then get comfortable, and leave complete.“

“We have eaten there several times food and service were good. Today the carpet in dining area was filthy. Needs to be replaced.“

“I was in the area for a friend's birthday and I was hungryyyyyyyyy. As I was heading to my car I passed Wok Chi. Their QR menu was on the window so I scanned it. After taking a scroll I decided to place an order. Walking in, the restaurant is very clean and made great use of the space. The bar is directly in front of you and the tables are to your right. It’s very cute with a simple design and a few eye-catching placements throughout the area. I walked up to the ordering area and was immediately greeted. The young lady was very pleasant and welcoming. I placed my order for 6 Wings, Thai Chili, with Pork Fried Rice, paid and took a seat at the bar to wait on my food. The ambiance is very chill. The music was at a perfect volume as I was still able to hear my conversation, the staff was laughing and engaging with one another, and the bar seats were super comfortable. My food arrived and was super fresh. As I placed my order to go, I was excited that I could smell my food through the container. Opening my container, the visual appeal was nice. The plate was well packed and the portion size was perfect for the price point of the meal. Now… the Food! The wings were amazing. Though they were light in color, they were crispy on the outside and juicy and hot on the inside. The flavor profile of the Thai Chili sat well on the fresh wings. The sweetness wasn’t too sweet and put me in the mind of a honey glaze. The chili flakes were present but not too spicy. There were some good wings. I would definitely come back for more. The rice was a bit too eggy for me. I’m accustomed to egg being in fried rice, however, the eggs overpowered the rice and pork. After two bites I was unable to adjust to the over-powering egg presence and decided not to eat the rice. All in all, I’ll be back for the wings.“

“5⭐️ for our amazing server, Peter! He brought extra plates, napkins, refilled our water cups without hesitation, brought the pepper rack to the table and consistently checked to see if our food was ready. The kitchen was slow, considering we were the only table ordering at 4 pm in the afternoon and only three other tables eating. I ordered the Isan Combo and it was perfectly portioned and delicious. The only setback was the sticky rice hardened within minutes and I was disappointed because it was difficult to eat. The khao soi was beautifully presented and tasted pretty good. The lobster roll was perfect and delicious! The pricing is higher than normal for Thai food; understandably due to location, but I would definitely come back here to try other items.“

“Absolutely The Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Flying Fish Sushi at Chattahoochee Food Works in Atlanta is a hidden gem serving fresh sushi. The menu offers a diverse selection to cater to all tastes, from classic favorites to innovative rolls. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making every visit a memorable one. If you're in Atlanta and craving top-notch sushi, Flying Fish at Chattahoochee Food Works is a must-visit destination for a truly satisfying dining experience.“

“Without question, the best Thai food I have ever had, which is really saying something. Each dish was absolutely phenomenal. I will happily make the one hour trip to return asap! Wonderful and friendly service also!!“
