“This is a very enjoyable establishment. Atmosphere was peaceful. The tables were a little close together and a group behind us talked a little too loud.
The sushi was excellent. Easy to order and the menu gave a lot of information to help us make our choices. They have a very large menu selection and the sushi we ordered was made quickly and delicious.
The restaurant seemed clean and the staff were polite. The next time we're in flowery branch, we will stop by again! I hope to try their hibachi!“

“Umami Tavern – Braselton

Stopped in on a whim and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The menu is huge—six full pages of sushi rolls alone, plus ramen, rice dishes, udon, lo mein, and plenty more. The drink selection is just as impressive, with beer, wine, sake, a variety of teas, and other options.

We only tried three items this visit, but we’ll definitely be back to explore more.

Pimp Daddy Roll:
Shrimp tempura and cream cheese, topped with avocado, spicy imitation crab, eel sauce, and crunch. This roll was made fresh and really delivered—crispy tempura, sweet eel sauce, and great texture throughout. Fantastic.

Crab Rangoon:
Fresh, hot, and a step above your typical Chinese takeout version. The sauce was especially good—more like a sweet chili sauce rather than the usual overly sweet red sauce.

Shrimp Fried Rice:
A solid, well-executed classic. The shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked, the rice was tender and well-seasoned, and it included fresh vegetables and scallions. Simple and satisfying.

Overall, a great first visit with lots of promise. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.“

“Everything was amazing from the volcano sushi roll and bang bang shrimp to the three different ramen bowls we had. Can’t wait to go back! Service was fantastic!“

“My wife and I absolutley loved the food, huge portions, great atmosphere, and super friendly staff!“

“Fresh sushi, good quality AYCE — service could be friendlier

We came here for AYCE sushi and the food was honestly really good — fresh fish and the rice portion was not overly heavy (which I really appreciate compared to some other sushi places). Everything tasted clean and well-balanced.

That said, the service wasn’t very welcoming. There wasn’t much greeting or friendliness, and when we asked a simple question about holiday pricing, the response felt a bit cold and rushed. The food also came out automatically, so there wasn’t much table service besides clearing plates.

Overall, great sushi quality and a solid AYCE option, but I wish the customer service was warmer. I’d still come back for the food, just with lower expectations on service.“

“Great food at reasonable price. Quick service, made to order food.“

“Whether her you’re going for a date night, a family dinner, or just treating yourself, this spot delivers. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and great service in one. Food was excellent and the Lychee Martini hands down the best!!!!“

“We were incredibly pleased with the food and will absolutely return again - so much so that I’m actually writing a review which I haven’t done in years just because of how great that meal was. The Chicken Pad Thai was perfectly seasoned and a great blend of sweet and spicy and the Red Curry was creamy and rich, also highly recommend the pork gyoza which was actually crispy on the bottom (hard to find in my experience) and juicy! We also got the Shrimp Tempura roll which was delicious! We also thought the portion sizes were very generous and both had enough for leftovers. Anyone looking for a fresh new Asian food spot has got to come try Akami!“

“People were so nice and the food came out fast and was delicious 😋 I will definitely be back. I was kinda skeptical because wasnt many people there but I just dont think many people know about the place. Definitely check this place out!!“

“They best burger 🍔 in Buford ga !“

“Muy Rico , 😋 Lo mejor que probado“

“5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!! By far the best fried rice in town! Everything is made & cooked to order. Our 9 year old always gets a sushi roll everytime we come here. We are pretty partial to the beef fried rice, but everything we get here is fantastic! It is a small space to dine-in but we always do. Most people get to-go! We like to eat in because the service is great and they already know what we are going to order!“

“This is our favorite go to hibachi restaurant. The yum yum sauce is what keeps us coming back. We tried something new this time and got the bento box. I could not believe how much food we got in the bento box. It was all prepared very well and was so tasty. We will definitely be back“

“Wow, just wow. I love this place. We got the Viking and the tempura cheesecake. Absolutely delicious. Staff is super friendly. Everyone has to go.“

“I went here earlier and the food was honestly soo good! The owner was so kind and happily got me my extra sauce 🥰 I had to come back and buy me some extra yum yum and teriyaki sauce! I like Asian food that reminds me of mall style food court food. This was like that but better! My husband got the steak and shrimp plate and I got the steak plate with shrimp fried rice. I hate to be a fatty but I’m so picky with my food and it’s been so long since I cleared a plate of outside food happily!!!“

“Food here is excellent! It’s my new favorite place to grab sushi. Their Chinese is phenomenal also! The wife and kids love coming here and enjoying a good meal together. The staff is super friendly and the manager is always walking around and checking in. They bring out little cakes at the end (which are so tasty). I can honestly say we haven’t had a bad experience since we’ve been going here. Highly recommend to others!“

“Wonderful staff, food, and an overall amazing experience. 10/10 recommend!“

“Tonight was my first experience at Kenzo Sushi. It was, hands down, the best sushi I’ve ever had. Service was stellar. Thank you Kenzo Sushi.“

“Big portions for great prices and delicious“

“One of our top spots to visit when we are feeling Chinese and my oh my, let me tell you about the SpIcy Honey Glazed Beef I ordered?! Oh yea I tore. It. Up. It was delicious in all the best ways possible, the beef cooked to perfection, the vegetables were such a nice touch, but star has got to be the sauce. Sweet & spicy & flavorful. This will be go-to from now.“

“Best and easiest way to get mall food without needing to go the mall.

There isn’t a single thing I’ve had so far that’s disappointed me and they’re super fast with their orders even during busy times. Will continue coming here for as long as I can!“

“Ninja Steakhouse in Braselton is one of those rare spots that’s always reliable and always delicious. My wife’s go-to is the steak (sometimes she adds shrimp), and I stick to chicken with double fried rice—they put bacon in the rice, and it’s amazing. We usually double up on the ginger salads because they’re that good. Sushi is a great starter here when we’re in the mood. Service is top-notch, and we’re usually seated within 5–10 minutes even on weekend nights. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“My family and I love this place, the customer service is outstanding!!!“
