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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“The fact that this, at the cheapest level, is $50 for all you can eat wagyu ($58 for non members) plus other sides, is great. The food quality was great. The atmosphere and service were on point. We got taken care of for sure. The rooftop area is crazy! with a wonderful view of Atlanta. Had some friends go there on a separate day for a rooftop party so that's cool.

We had gone first to Chubby Cattle in Duluth out of the blue and enjoyed it so much that when we heard they were opening up a wagyu steakhouse 10 minutes from our house we were definitely excited. I saw people on dates here, but I personally would do groups of 6 or more. That's the vibe of the place. With that price tag also, for unlimited wagyu, it definitely makes it pretty affordable compared to other restaurants in the area, depending on how much you eat, and my group could eat! We will be going back to try other tiers soon.“

“Tuna cutting omakase - wonderful experience“

“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.“

“Great cocktails and tasty food. Definitely going to become a local favorite“

“Good food,great people,fantastic atmosphere 🍻“

“We had the best time and the dishes were all amazing! Can’t wait to go back!“

“We had an amazing experience here! Loved the design, the atmosphere and Chef was AMAZING! Spectacular 16 course meal he made! The sale was on point and the staff was all so nice! Will definitely come back!“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Wasn’t able to take a picture of the tonkotsu ramen and tonkatsu set because I got too excited to eat it! Would definitely come back ❤️“

“The food is fabulous and highly recommend“

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“Kevin was the best server you could ask for. He went up and beyond in taking care of his guest even when we ask for weird request. Like finding a charger for our phone. Would highly recommend
THANKS KEVIN FOR THE GREAT DINING EXPERIENCE“

“We love sushi and had eaten at all the nicest sushi restaurants in Atlanta except for this one, so we decided to try it. We had the premium omakase and it was AMAZING. This was both of our favorite experience - usually I prefer more fun and flavorful rolls (ie like Eight) and my husband likes his sushi more pared down (ie Tomo, Nobu, Mujo), but the sushi struck the perfect balance of letting the fish shine without being boring, adding a hint of flavor to enhance. I never eat wasabi but the wasabi relish was incredible - I put on every bite! John, our server, was professional and personable and made our dinner very special - great recs and accommodations! We usually dine out on special occasions (bdays, anniversaries) and it’s not uncommon for it to go unrecognized.. this was the opposite experience. Just a night out but it felt very special. We also loved the vibe- not stuffy or pretentious (some babies even which I don’t think is common but we didn’t care, they didn’t detract!) while maintaining high caliber of service and food. Overall, 10/10 and we will definitely be back. Our new favorite sushi restaurant!“

“I came to Avenue specifically to review it! It did not disappoint! The pictures I’m adding don’t do it justice because the lighting is just something you have to see in real time. Let’s start with the Dj he was great! You can vibe but also still hear yourself think. The food was so good I had the seafood wontons 10/10 I was very pleased. It was crispy but not to hard it was perfect. I also had the steak and without even telling them the cook I wanted it came out perfect!! PERFECT! Now the service was so good I’ve already decided that I’ll be back next Sunday. Izgen is the perfect host she’s so sweet and kind and attentive without being overbearing. You guys I don’t just give a 10/10 for nothing this place has the makings of something great. Meet me there Sunday. Also the parking FREE! The Entry FREE!! Come on now! This spot is it.“

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“Loved our first experience at Bachi Box! I got the chicken hibachi and my husband got the steak hibachi, both had great flavor. The food came out fast and the portion sizees were huge. Please go try it and keep them in business, we need more casual and affordable food options in the area.“

“I had an amazing experience at Yami Sushi in Decatur! I ordered the salmon bento box along with the super crunchy roll, and both were absolutely delicious. The salmon was fresh and flavorful, and the roll had the perfect balance of crunch and taste. On top of that, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and fast. This spot is definitely a gem in Decatur, and I’ll be coming back again soon!“

“You can never go wrong with Ru San's. Went here for a solo date just to get out, and I loved every bit of my meal. The inside has changed since I last visited, but it's kept its beautiful aesthetic nonetheless. The food was good, as always, wish I could buy an entire pot of their Miso Soup 😭 their Miso Soup has alwaysssssss been bomb!!!“

“Fantastic food and service! 2.5 miles from our house!!!“

“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!“

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

“Elegance, ambience, impeccable service, flawless menu, thoughtful consideration of every single detail all make a memorable experience at Mujo.
Thank you to Chef/Partner Jordan Harris and his exceptional staff including Katy and Mike for treating us to a perfect evening. Look forward to returning soon .

“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.“

“the atmosphere is great and the food is awesome“

“We've been making our way through Halidom Food Hall and tonight's new try was Wasabi Sushi & Ramen. It did not disappoint! All the dishes were beautifully presented. Unfortunately, we dug in before remembering to take pics, so please take that into account.

First, the staff was very welcoming, helped explain and recommend items, and said please and thank you, which I appreciate. A+ for service.

I had the steak hibachi and it was delicious - packed with steak and loads of mixed veggies. Salty, savory, sweet, soy goodness! Hubby and son split some California rolls and a tuna poke bowl, all were excellent. My son mentioned that the tuna bowl was loaded with fish. We also had some gyozas dumplings and they were super yummy too.

As for the price, it's a food hall, so let's be honest, they are never cheap. But considering the food and service were excellent, and I supported a family run business in my community - it was worth it and I'll be back.

Highly recommend!“

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

“The manager was very nice!!“

“We ordered last Saturday, late at night, and requested as special favor knowing that may not be possible: was my son’s birthday and I ordered a piece of cake and asked them that if they have a candle please include it. I honestly didn’t spect that was possible because of the time and you know, such a random request, but when the order arrived not only they sent a beautiful candle, they send another piece of cake (btw sooo delicious chocolate mouse cake) and with a very very nice handwritten message written on top of the box!
Food was great! Really good, but service… hats off!
Thanks, you made our night very special!“

“We had a reservation but unfortunately my Fiance had to get a last minute biopsy and was told not to drink any alcohol for 24 to 48 hrs. We went to Tiger Sun anyways expecting to just have to go to the reservation (since theres a charge for canceling) and when we explained the situation they were SO NICE. As the cocktails are really part of the experience they did not hesitate for one second to move our reservation and not charge us the fee!! We really expected for my Fiance to either have mocktails or just forego the cocktails in general and were sad about this since cocktails are our thing.. but now we don't even have to worry about that because they were so accommodating! We cannot wait to come back and get the full experience because I am totally sold on the dedication to the customer!“

“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 like the poke here and get it once a month or so for lunch. The fish always tastes fresh and the sauces and toppings are flavorful. I get mine over salad greens and make sure the fish is tossed with at least soy sauce and sesame oil; can’t go wrong with poke ponzu and spicy mayo too. The seaweed salad is $2 extra but worth it in my opinion for that extra sesame flavor.“

“Best chicken I ever had. The service was fantastic and every dish was delicious. The desserts were amazing.“

“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 🖤🖤🖤“

“I wanted to give them a try in comparison to Extreme Teriyaki. First off, the young lady who greeted and served me today (Sep 1, 2025) was phenomenal! She explained how they prepare the bowls and what all comes with them. I was pleasantly surprised and love the fact that you can have noodles as a base with your choice of bowl. The quality of the ingedients are definitely top choice. I can truly appreciate that they aren't so big of chain which typically makes fast food(s) become very commercial with taste. It is well worth the drive for me and I see and love the value that the Teriyaki Madness establishment offers. I'm SOLD! I will be highly recommending to friends, family and anyone looking for exceptional Teriyaki fast food. Apologies, no pictures. I was very hungry and it was just that good. See you soon!“

“Upscale food court style along with other restaurants - so food is a little more expensive compared to suburbs. Very nice staff. Good sushi.

The place (maybe like a mini Hudson Yard in New York? ) has garage parking free for 2 hours with parking ticket validated with a restaurant - I did not do the homework so it took some time to figure out where to park.“

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

“Ordered the steak and chicken hibachi bowl for lunch on a Sunday. Huge portion, delicious sauce, perfectly steamed veggies and rice. Very quick and excellent service all in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend visiting this spot in Politan Row“

“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.👍“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“
