50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Sandy Springs

“After trying so many other omakase's, even some that are Michelin rated, I find myself still continuing to crave NoriFish! The flavors are just so unique and the omakase experience truly tells a story. The fish just melts in your mouth and you can really taste the quality. Out of the five times I've been now for the Premium Omakase, I have always had such amazing service that has been consistent with every visit. This may not be the most "traditional" way of serving omakase if that is what you're looking for, but in terms of price point and for the delicious food you get, I think it is money well spent. I always rave about NoriFish and this is definitely one of my favoritest restaurants of all time.“

“Great sushi 🍣 we love Taka! They have delivery on Postmates too.“

“Good stuffs, good service“

“I love this place! Such a diverse menu and delicious flavors.“

“Amazing food and Jackie is wonderful“

“Met a friend for lunch and it was a great experience. Fresh to order rolls, well done and generous sizing. The house salad alone was crisp, abundant and full of color which is not the norm. Dressing was a perfect amount. Ordered 3 rolls and they were executed well. Everything came out orderly and on time. Our server Carolina was wonderful and attentive. Aesthetic is top notch, surrounded by cherry blossoms and lanterns with ambient lighting. Insta worthy! Will definitely be back!“

“We drive over an hour to come to this place. By far the best sushi in town and even out of town!!! All kinds of seafood very fresh. Great salads, wonderful crepe bar. Fun place for all.“

“AMAZING!!! Everything we ordered was phenomenal. The service was above and beyond. 20 out of 10 experience. Definitely will return.“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“Exceptional service, delicious food and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“really amazing food. so fast and delicious! wonderful experience! Kaya Signature with the Karaage ...perfect spice, flavor, texture, broth. we were here at noon and had our food in 15 min from the moment we walked in the door and we did not rush to order.“

“Sushi Hut & Hibachi has been my go-to for takeout, and they continue to impress me with their exceptional customer service. I regularly place and pay for my orders through their convenient online portal, and the process is always smooth and easy.

During my last visit, I sent my teenager in to pick up our order, and instead of her coming back with the food, she returned with a message from the staff. They noticed I normally order hibachi shrimp and wanted to double-check if my order of shrimp fried rice was intentional or a mistake. Sure enough, I had ordered the wrong thing!

The fact that they paid attention to such a detail and took the time to confirm with me shows the level of care they put into their service. They kindly remade the order without any hassle, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. It’s rare to find a place that genuinely cares about ensuring their customers are satisfied.

Thank you, Sushi Hut & Hibachi, for going above and beyond! You’ve earned a loyal customer.“

“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.“

“Tenya is one of my favorite spots to go! Their udon is so fresh and good here, I recommend the Mazeudon!

The team here so so nice and friendly as well, they make the experience such a good time!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Japanese with a Korean flair. Great prices + great quality + _extremely_ great service. Surprisingly, they’ve been a “near-kept secret” in Atlanta for nearly 50 years. (Since 1970?)We’ve been eating here & picking up more-and-more regularly for only the past 3 years.“

“My daughter absouletly loves Japanese cuisine. We took her to TOMO to celebrate her 21st BDay. I must say all the reviews online did not come close to capturing the undeniable reality, TOMO is simply the best Japanese resturant in Atlanta if not the entire US. If you are debating between TOMO and anywhere else, stop wasting your time and book a reservation. You will thank me for it“

“Super great experience!! Love it here:)“

“The sashimi piece on top of the nigiri is larger than most traditional sushi so it’s a happy place here. Service is good too. Only thing is the place is hidden and a little hard to find. It’s on the back side of a building down a steep parking lot hill.“

“Classic Japanese restaurant. The fish quality is on par with the very expensive restaurants in town. This is just a no frills really solid sushi spot.

We typically order the fried octopus appetizer and 21 pieces of Sashimi. We get out the door for around $100.

I'd be willing to bet they have the same fish suppliers as Umai and Eight.

Service is generally quick and the service is good.“

“Amazing experience! The food is SO incredibly fresh and delicious! This is the best sushi I have had in Cherokee county, no doubt.“

“The food is so good and warming. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. I have been going here often for months and it has been wonderful every time.

If you are looking for a warm bowl served with a warm smile, this is the place.“

“Good food,great people,fantastic atmosphere 🍻“

“Hands down, the best sushi I've ever had. They incorporate truffle oil in some of their rolls and if you like truffle, you cannot go wrong. Very savory. I'd recommend the avocado balls, crunchy spicy tuna roll and the snow crab in miso soup. The truffle aioli salmon appetizer is another hit. The cocktails - Wow! Thai Me Up is a their version of a spicy margarita but they use some sort of oil and it is delicious! I'll be craving that drink for a long time. It's not cheap but if you're looking for a treat or have a special occasion, it's a full recommend from me! Thank you goes out to Kelly, our server, who steered us towards the fantastic dish selections.“

“We loved this. I hope it becomes an Atlanta institution where we're still going here 20 years from now. This restaurant is a bit of a splurge or special occasion type place but totally worth it.

Our server Andrew was great. Everything we ate was delicious and the drinks were fabulous. It scored top points in all categories. My only complaint was that even though the restaurant wasn't full it is very loud in the space. As a coursed meal the pace was great and on the faster side, which I loved.

We both did the 8 course Omesake. My husband's favorite course was the final steak prepped with the cavier and garlic chip. I liked the steak with the egg yolk, ginger, chive the best. The Slider was perfection and a really fun way to end a meal. The only disappointment was the Lobster rice. It was a delicious dish with potential but a little dry and rubbery. I think this one needs work. The sashimi was so fresh and the accompinmets were awesome. Loved the starter trio, I could eat a million of the tacos. So many stars across this meal!

Based on all the bad/mediocre restaurants in Atlanta this is a standout and should go on your list.“

“Simply worth the drive and money. Since Covid my husband and I eat out very selectively. Most of the time restaurants are overcharging, understaffed, unclean and service is less than standard. They look at you crazy if you ask for hot food and clean utensils. Well at The Bowl all is well! The service is top notch from placing your order to the moment you leave. The food is savory, clean, made to order with perfection! I highly recommend this restaurant anytime of the day.“

“Recently renovated, Kumo is a gem! They are very helpful for gluten friendly options! They have gluten free soy sauce. It’s a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. The food is fast and the presentation is good. They have great sushi! The 3VS3 roll is amazing. My husband and kids enjoy the hibachi. They don’t cook in front of you but we actually prefer that.“

“Great service, hot seasoned food, very impressive. Sushi was great! Hibachi was great! Salt and pepper shrimp great!“

“Spicy tuna poke bowl w/seaweed salad was excellent.“

“it is hard to find Sushi places with Uni and Toro on the menu. it is expensive but worth it! I am a huge fan!“

“Literally the best sushi in Georgia - if not the best sushi I have ever had in the states. Grew up going here and you get an authentic experience with FRESH sushi. ? bento box is also top notch if you’re not feeling sushi. Would recommend to anyone but be careful - Tanaka will get you hooked. Great food and very reasonable prices for what you get.“

“Phenomenal food. We are regulars and we love it here.

The ones who complain about the wait time just go to a fast food restaurant. Sushi Tong is a restaurant meaning you are going to wait more than 15 to 20 for food. The local Mickey D's and Wendy's are up the street (LOL) if you want the food given to you in a 60-90 second time span. If you do not have the patience for actual restaurant food do not come, if you have patience yes please check them out totally worth the wait :)“

“The food exceeded expectations. The nigiri and shashimi slices were thicker than other places, fresh, and tender. Service was great as well.“

“One of the BEST dining experiences I have had in a long time. My husband and I went last night for our 2nd anniversary and everything from the ambiance, service, food was AMAZING. Our server Coy / Koi (sorry if misspelled) was absolutely amazing and made great recommendations to us. He was incredibly attentive and made sure we got all of our food and drinks in a timely manner. We started with the Rock Shrimp Tempura, Cucumber & Seaweed Salad, and Yellowtail Appetizer. This was our first time trying yellowtail and it did not disappoint. The salad was also INSANE - so refreshing and bright! For mains, we had the Lobster Tempura Roll, New Age Roll (hubby’s fave), and Surf & Turf Roll (my fave). We finished with the “Donut Touch my Donut” and Matcha Icecream. The donut had a nice chewy / mochi-like bite with a crispy exterior. Cannot express enough how great everything was - totally worth every penny!“

“Food and serve were spectacular! We for a kiddos birthday that loves sushi, but he ended up more at the hot bar! 100% recommend!“

“Our family has enjoyed this restaurant for 7 years at the old and new locations. The service is great, food is good and Michael makes hibachi fun for our kids.

Vegetarian options: Made to order

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly“

“Employee was friendly, it took a bit longer than we initially expected to receive the our food. But they gave you a pager so you know when to come back to pick up your food. Food is but pricey, considering the portion. But they all tasted good. Will recommend this place!“

“Solo date night vibes at Mikata ✨ Spoiling myself with a little bit of everything tonight: started with a glass of Trivento Malbec, then dove into a Baked Salmon Roll and Snow crab Roll (both Marla’s picks – she did not disappoint!). The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. For the main, I went big with a Shrimp, Lobster, and Chicken Rice Hibachi – packed with all the smoky, savory goodness you could dream of.

To top it off, Marla brought me hot water with lemon and honey to make my own tea. The teapot? Adorably perfect. This is what I call a quality night of self-care!

“Wow! The new management/owners of Wasabi have made great changes. The food (especially the sushi) is delicious - everything was fresh and presented in a lovely way. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The staff is efficient and the service is fast. We stopped in for a quick dinner and it was delicious and fast. It's still a great place for a relaxed dining experience, but the new team is really firing on all cylinders. Our server, Alex, was great. Highly recommend for a relaxed dining experience or a quick delicious dinner.“

“Simply the BEST Ramen Soup ever 😎“

“First time trying and Yuzu sushi is a solid spot with many rolls.
I started off with the tuna crisp which was pretty decent. I was expecting bigger chunks of tuna but it’s actually very fine pieces with tempura mixed in.
Then I had the scallop, yellowtail, and spider roll. I liked the yellowtail maki roll the most and it tasted fresh and fatty. However the scallop roll was just okay. I noticed they use the smaller scallop variety which is probably why. Overall solid meal with good ambiance“

“Went to this place in Doraville, GA called Yebisuya where I had Omurice for the first time along with a Yebisuya Bun that I also got and tried for the first time. Omurice: although this wasn't the Omurice I was expecting this was definitely still a very delicious version. Underneath is a bed of fried rice that was just so good with an omelet layered on top of it. They give you 3 sauce choices Spicy Kewpie Mayo, Ketchup, and Tonkatsu sauce. I chose the spicy mayo which by the way wasn't spicy at all I could have ate a ton of that stuff with no problem and those that know me know I don't handle spice well lol. Yebisuya Bun: is basically a steamed bun with chicory, scallion, and I got it with Tonkatsu pork in it and yall when I tell yall I could have ate 10 of these bad boys. The bun was so soft and the filling was sooooo flavorful like you just have to try it. Go check these guys out the next time you're in Georgia or if you live in Georgia. 8.9/10 6035 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, Doraville, GA 30360“

“This is an amazing woman-owned Hibachi restaurant! The owner, Alice, made my hibachi - it was the most delicious hibachi I have had in years, everything from the sauce to the cooking was just simply perfect. Congratulations, and I can’t wait to be back with all of my friends and family!“

“Really enjoy my experience every time I visit. Food is awesome and the price is great.“

“A must visit. You are missing out =)“

“Have been going to this place since they opened and have never been disappointed. Amazing customer service, everything on menu is delicious and the yum yum sauce is best I’ve had!

Parking: Right next to chevron. Not much parking but it’s never really super crowded.“
