46 Best Japanese Restaurants near East Point

“Love the food but not our chef!“

“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!“

“Tuna cutting omakase - wonderful experience“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

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

“This is some of the best Japanese food I have ever had in Atlanta, and I lived in Okinawa for 2½ years. It is limited menu and they concentrate on doing those dishes very well. It's very casual. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Their shrimp appetizer is amazing. It is light and crispy and the sauce they serve with is very flavorful. I order the spicy miso ramen with grilled chicken and a side of soy egg. It has a perfect level of heat that costs the back of your throat but it doesn't linger too long. Plus, they give you a large portion. My son got the curried udon noodles with fried chicken. I could tell it was good by the foodgasm face he made while eating it. I highly recommend this place. They take pride in their food and it definitely shows.“

“Good food,great people,fantastic atmosphere 🍻“

“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!“

“This was the best meal I’ve ever had, and our server Danh made it the best experience ever!! He was so nice and attentive and funny and ensures that you get your money’s worth, and if you get him as your server, just know you’re about to have the best time!! Danh + the food was so great, we definitely would come back again in the near future! :))“

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

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“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“

“I wrote an excellent review a long time ago, but it did not do MF Sushi justice, so I am editing my original review after eating there on my own at the sushi bar yesterday.
MF Sushi gives you the food, service, and vibe of a Michelin Star restaurant without actually having one. The sushi tastes like we were dining on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The servers are on top of EVERYTHING. They know when you need something by just your facial expressions and they know when to bring you the next dish. The vibe is casual elegance, which is right up my alley. Even though MF Sushi has been around for a long time, I still feel like it's a hidden gem and I hope is stays that way. The only thing I will suggest, and this is only because I have a habit of eating way too quickly, is that when you see I have finished the piece of sushi in front of me (Chef's special, kind of like Omakase, but not), wait 2-4 minutes before bringing the next piece out. It forces me to pause and enjoy what I just ate. I am not sure if others have the same issue I have, but this is more my issue and not MF's. I always tell myself I have to come to MF more often and then life happens, but this time I am hoping to follow through. Thank you MF Sushi for such a great experience!“

“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.“

“I had an incredible time at Yuji! I was visiting Atlanta for a concert, and decided to come here on my last night (March 3rd, 2026) before flying home as a treat. The food was absolutely fantastic. It was very high quality and the option for actual grated wasabi root really made me happy.

I have new mobility issues, yet look healthy, and I'm only 30, so I was concerned about bringing in my walker and where it could be stowed or how someone would perceive me with it.

Not only was the entire staff super accommodating, nobody batted an eye or mentioned it to me at all.

My waiter, who goes by Cooper, was an incredible person. He was super kind and was easy to have conversation with. We talked our sushi journeys and experiences, and I ended up moving to sit next to and having a conversation with another man, and Cooper as well, for at least an hour. It was an overall incredible night.

Highly recommend!“

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“Fantastic food. Their sushi sashimi is incredibly fresh! The quality of food is unmatched and unexpected for GEORGIA quality sushi without hurting your pockets. Don’t underestimate this pocket friendly restaurant. The food is affordable, has great taste, and cooked to perfection. The interior is very relaxed and casual. Resembles the small town cafe’s you’d find in japan. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a traditional Japanese meal.“

“Fantastic experience at Mujo! Everything was impeccable. The food, drinks, and service. Although quite pricey (as are most sushi restaurants), I thought the experience was worth it. I had a wagyu tataki and a foie gras mini sandwhich that were both just spectacular as an add on to the omakase.“

“This place has great vibes and more! The music is great. The bathrooms were well kept and the staff were great. Food was good. Sunny took great care of our group and we had a great time.

It’s a nice spot, I’d recommend and would return.“

“1st time eating here and I Uber eat to my workplace and OMG it was worth it my coworker told me about it and I'm glad!! The price reasonable, great quality, good eats, I will be returning and just wow i had the half rice halve noodles, steak, shrimp, and vegetables it was good real good‼️‼️‼️“

“My husband and I had an early Valentine's Day dinner her last evening. We absolutely loved it. Vicky and Nick were pleasant and just down right inviting. The meal was delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic. We will come again and next time we'll bring friends.“

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

“Good food at reasonable price. Based on security guard at MARTA Station, only few blocks away at INMAN Station.

Arrived about 5'ish pm. Ordered deluxe sashimi plate, $28 included salad and soup.
I ordered Happy Hour deep fried tofu. This had vegetables, $10. More of a stir fried Chinese dish, topped with Japanese green seaweed. Tasty! Enjoyed it. (Not the deep fried tofu with dipping sauce that I thought it was on menu).

Provided huge ice filled cups of water. (Walked from MARTA Station was very warm. Needed the water!). Husband ordered a beer, $5.

Service good. Sashimi were large slices. Roll included on deluxe sashimi was a California Roll, topped with about 1/4 tsp of eel eggs. Nice touch!

Odd. The bill included 18% tip. We never seen it in a restaurant Bill. Since we liked the service, it paid the total $55+

Restaurant constantly played music bit loud, maybe to drown out the loud cooking clanging wok.

Overall. Would we come again? YES!“

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

“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!“

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

“I give 5 stars because of the great food, but the young lady that works the front counter has no enthusiasm working with the customer, it's as if you just woke her up from a nap. These places have to do better and stop just getting bodies.“

“Yumi Yami Yami
Read Time: 1 min

Yami Yami is a favorite of mine located inside of The Hub. The food is Americanized Asian food. It’s my go to when I’m craving a quickly prepared Asian meal. Everything is already prepared, even handmade sushi. If the already prepared sushi rolls aren’t what you’re in the mood for, they will make you sushi on the spot. There is always a great meal special and this even includes sushi. Please visit for yourself and give them a try, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.“

“The food was so good that I honestly forgot to take pictures until we were basically done eating 😂 That alone should tell you how much we enjoyed everything.

The tempura was super crispy on the outside and light, not greasy at all. You can really tell the ingredients were fresh, and the dipping sauces paired perfectly with everything. The other dishes we ordered were also well seasoned and really balanced. Nothing felt too heavy, and everything tasted clean and flavorful.

The restaurant itself had a nice, comfortable vibe, and the staff were friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. The food also came out at a good pace, so we didn’t feel rushed or stuck waiting around.

I actually wanted to take nice photos before eating, but once we started, we just couldn’t stop. By the time I remembered, most of the plates were already empty. Definitely a good sign!

I would 100% come back and would love to try more items next time. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and a chill dining experience.“

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

“The manager was very nice!!“

“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!“

“Enjoying some lunch from Teriyaki Madness 143 Clairemont Ave Decatur Georgia 30030 404-618-5141 you can place your order so you pick it up to go or dine in the food is very tasty 😋 and yes it's crazy delicious food keep up the good work stop by their restaurants and enjoy a great hot freshly cooked meal and say Keithchef recommended you try their delicious food. And everyone have a wonderful blessed 🙏💞🌹🥰🤗 day“

“Great experience for their Goodfellas theme. The food and cocktails were on point for each course. The service from the entire staff was phenomenal.

My favorites were the tuna tonnato, lobster tortellini, and tiramisu. My friend enjoyed all her courses as well.

All of the cocktails were amazing and so unique. The standouts were the funny how, cutty water, and no more shines.

We can’t wait to be back for their next theme.“

“Never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made fast without feeling rushed. The chicken teriyaki is perfectly grilled, tender, and coated in just the right amount of sauce not too sweet, not too heavy. Portions are generous for the price, and everything tastes clean and well-prepared. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the restaurant stays consistently clean. If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying meal that actually feels like real food, Teriyaki Madness is a great choice.“

“Forgot how good this place is for being rather inconspicuous.
I ordered both in person and via the app in the past week. Definitely prefer the app rather than the dry erasable menu method inside.
Very business like and efficient atmosphere, with all the effort going into prepping your food.
Since we're dealing with mostly raw fish, I appreciate the attention to detail, but a touch more of personality wouldn't hurt.
Take out vibe for sure, but I'm all about eating my fresh fish right after it's prepared, so I embrace the tiny doctors office cups for water, sit inside and smash those bowls! Delish.“

“This is my first time at Starfish & it was amazing. I came around 4pm so it was pretty empty, but the atmosphere is beautiful and clean! The service was very nice and the food was so fresh and delicious. The price was reasonable as well. I got the gyoza, miso soup, seaweed salad and the Cinderella Man till. I will definitely be back.“

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

“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.👍“

“Amazing sushi! I was nearby for a conference and discovered this place at the food hall in Colony Square. I wasn’t incredibly hungry and ordered the Sashimi sampler and miso soup. Both great! The sashimi sampler is a great choice when you can’t decide between which fish to order. My go-tos are yellowtail and tuna but man, the salmon was delicious and better than most places I’ve ordered salmon from. All the fish I had was super fresh! The staff was super friendly! Highly recommend this place!“

“My home away from home 🖤🖤🖤“

“I had food here many times. Like Poke bowl, shrimp tempura, ramen and more. They were quite okay for the taste but compare to the price might seem pricey for the quality of food and how they put in the plates - like just smash ingredients randomly. Anyway, the staffs were so nice and eating them in the food court was quite a good experience.“
