“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.“

“Wow - didn’t even know about this place, but it’s going to the top of the rotation. Lower key than UMI or Brush, but the omakase was terrific and the service was exceptional at describing every course and going deep on the sake pairings. Very rarely this surprised.“

“The food is fabulous and highly recommend“

“Good food,great people,fantastic atmosphere 🍻“

“We had an awesome time, friendly staff and the food and drinks were great, delicious and wish we could had more in one sitting. We shall return without a doubt. Thanks to everyone who helped me make a memorable day with the birthday lady. Oh and the surprise dessert was perfect for us all.“

“I have eaten here about 7 times over the last 3 years (I live 30 miles away). The staff is always friendly; Interior is clean & nice; food is freshly made and is tasty. I get the Gingeryaki Rice. I recommend this restaurant!“

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

“Emily was a great server!!! Aside from our reservation not being ready until 30 minutes after our scheduled time and management not accommodating us, we had a great experience overall. Emily was wonderful, and she really helped make our visit enjoyable!“

“The attention to detail from everyone worling here is a work of art within itself that needs to be brought attention to and sincerely appreciated. If you don't know what to order here, the Toro is the one thing you need to try here! This fatty tuna is so buttery and smooth to the point where it melts in your mouth when you bite into it.“

“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 ❤️“

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“This is my second time ordering from Bachi Box. The first time was a personal order and I got the streak, chicken and shrimp hibachi. Even though I ordered through Uber eats my food still arrived hot and delicious. Because of my great personal experience I decided for our office tailgate that I would have Bachi Box catered. Marco and his team went above and beyond to provide us with a great experience. This time we ordered the noodles with chicken and veggies, crab ragoons, sugar donuts and wings (lemon pepper, mala, and mild). Everything we ordered was 10/10. Our team’s favorites were the lemon pepper wings and the sugar donuts.

My only personal add would be for them to add a sweet and sour dipping sauce for the crab ragoons. And a more savory yum yum sauce instead of the sweeter yum yum sauce.Overall I can be a very picky eater and place a lot of value if the quality and taste of food. So if you are someone like me wondering if you are going to get your bang for your buck you most definitely will!!!“

“Avenue Kitchen & Cocktail was great. The service was top tier we did not have to wait long for our food and drinks. The atmosphere was chill and laid back. The belly dance cute touch. Their menu is reasonable and the food was tasty. Its a great spot for date night or even chilling with the girls.“

“Tiger Sun is, by far, one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. My son and I visited last Sunday, and I can honestly say every expectation was exceeded. From the moment we arrived, I was wowed in the best way possible. The food was absolutely amazing, the drinks were just as impressive, and the service made the experience even better.

One of my favorite touches happened before we even got on the bus. The staff took a photo of my son and me, and when I opened my tab at the end of the evening, they had included an AI-generated version of that photo showing us aged about 40 years. It was such a fun and unexpected surprise! It was the perfect way to end an already incredible evening and gave us a keepsake we'll always remember.

Every dollar was well spent, and I can't wait to go back. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with amazing food, creative drinks, and thoughtful attention to detail, Tiger Sun is a must-visit!“

“We love this small, family-owned restaurant. Both the cooked and raw sushi selections are super; we especially love the California Roll. The main dishes are always fresh, steaming hot and flavorful. The staff is efficient and cheerful! We like to bring friends and family because we can always count on Yami Sushi to be great.“

“Great product and owners are very nice people.“

“My home away from home 🖤🖤🖤“

“The food was amazing, and as someone with texture issues the texture was great! So was the customer service, they were very nice, and welcoming. The food is very fresh when you get it to, so you won't have to worry about it being cold. Overall, I definitely will revisit and I think if you like the kind of food they sell it's an AMAZING place to eat at!“

“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!“

“I had a great experience at Circle Poke. The ingredients were fresh, the bowl was full of flavor, and there were plenty of toppings to choose from. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the service was quick. It's a great place for a fresh and healthy meal, and I'll definitely be back.“

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

“My Daughter said she wanted Sushi for her birthday. My server was the best. I had 9 children with me. The experience was Awsome. My Daughter even got a piece of birthday cheese cake and a candle. Everyone was happy and satisfied. I will return.“

“the atmosphere is great and the food is awesome“

“Great lunch place with good specials! At the food court there are a million options, but I wanted some sushi. The staff were nice and the line moved quickly. I tried pretty much all their non-raw rolls, spring roll and cucumber salad. I really liked all of it and my Thai Iced Tea too. Would eat here again.“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at Wasabi Restaurant! From the moment we walked in with a large party, the service was nothing short of exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, making everything feel seamless and effortless.

I’ve dined at Michelin-star restaurants before, and I can honestly say the level of attention, care, and hospitality we received here exceeded those experiences. Every detail was handled with professionalism and warmth, and our entire group felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of.

If you’re looking for top-tier service and an unforgettable dining experience, Wasabi is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“The food is great here, and it's really consistent, filling chicken teriyaki. Service is always fast and the place is clean. Definitely one of my go to's in the area when I just want something filling. It's like Japanese (Chinese?) soul food.“

“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!“

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

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

“The manager was very nice!!“

“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.👍“

“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.“

“Excellent choice for sushi and some authentic thai. The only caveat is parking. It's free if you park on the garage only. Otherwise its $7/hr.
But, the thai was extremely good as were the soups. Also tried the spring rolls and they did not disappoint.“

“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!!“
