50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Sandy Springs

“Had an incredible meal at One Sushi! Tried the pork ramen and lobster Rangoon, and both dishes were delicious. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming thanks to the wonderful staff and the owner, who has such a kind, genuine personality. It was exactly the kind of dining experience I was hoping for. Can’t wait to return and bring friends with me next time!“

“Calvin ensured our group had the most amazing experience. From cocktails, to Sake, to the food… omg the food. Freshest sushi I’ve ever had in the city. The flavors were balanced and yet explosive. Literally everything was incredible. Make sure you try the lychee martini! If sake is what you’re craving, order a bottle of the Big Hawk. It pairs perfectly with everything on their menu.“

“Always amazing food and service!! It's definitely my go-to sushi spot, everytime! I love the complimentary dessert they serve at the end as well, its just icing on the cake!! xoxoxo“

“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!“

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

“Amazing Selection. Freshly prepared, with Chefs visibly working right in front of you. Hibachi, Soup, Sushi, Sashimi, Nigiri, Oysters, Shrimp, Crab legs, and even a Crepe action station.“

“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!“

“Great Experience, excellent sushi and the Baos are amazing.“

“This place is really good. Do not let the location fool you. The sushi is as good if not better than several upscale Buckhead Japanese restaurants. Always fresh and consistent. Customer service is friendly and attentive. This is a Roswell gem!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good stuffs, good service“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“My wife and I went here on Sunday night. We have relatively high sushi standards, and this place actually did great! We ordered the Osho Supreme and finished the whole thing aside from the squid (we’re not too big on squid). The service was very good, but it was a quiet night. Might have been 2 other occupied tables there. Reasonable prices as well! We will be back.“

“Best portions & friendliest wait staff/chefs we’ve ever had! Sushi is always excellent & the staff treats us like we’re family. Each time we go, the chefs give us complimentary extra food. Minato is a hidden gem & never disappoints :) Our go-to for sushi for many years.“

“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.“

“Good food,great people,fantastic atmosphere 🍻“

“We stopped in here on a whim... spontaneous night out. The place has japanese vibes inside and was quite comfortable. They appeared busy and our food still came out fast. Food..... was GREAT. Best fried rice we have ever had. We did the large sashimi platter, and some Nigiri blue fin Toro and wagyu A5. I see a bad review or two in the reviews.... not sure if they caught them on a bad night or something but, for us.... this was great. Added to our list we would consider becoming regulars.“

“Our first visit to Tomo was remarkable. The sushi tasted fresh and delicious, with outstanding quality throughout every dish. Our server May was pleasant and attentive; she was exceptionally knowledgeable, and her recommendations impressed us. The welcoming energy from everyone felt rare and valuable in Atlanta. Our first visit was so favorable that we returned two days later. The bartender, Joe, was phenomenal.“

“Decided to try this spot for an early, very casual dinner while in the area and was pleasantly impressed with the service, food, and atmosphere. We ordered the shrimp bowl and it was delicious! The food came out quick and service was excellent. It’s a small very casual spot, so it was perfect for us. They offer authentic food, drinks, and even snacks/goodies. Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“It's good amount of food. You get a paper and you order what you like. I have a lot of big respect for local restaurant and small business because it's not easy out there. For our experience, service was nice. Sushi and hibachi rice, wings were okay. They need more seasoning. The hibachi meat need to be cook better; Sushi needs to have more flavor. Just work on it and may your business last long.“

“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.“

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

“If you haven't tried Mika's for great sushi, please give them a try. Richard and Anna are always helpful and deliver a fantastic product. And check out their HH specials!“

“A true hidden gem. Went here with friends this year and last year. Overall the seating inside is small only 8 tables but the service is great and the food is tasty. The wait time for the food can be long but it is worth it. Food comes piping hot and is fresh. I got the vegetable curry which was cooked perfectly, not spicy, and went well with white rice. Actually needed to order 2 more orders of white rice to make sure I used all of the sauce because it was so good. Highly recommend this place. Tempura is tasty is too. Prices are very reasonable.“

“Japanese Sushi Menu with a creative flare!“

“Great food at reasonable prices.“

“This review is for my Mom who won't write one because she's lazy. But she said, and I quote, I wanna keep chewing on this piece of sushi forever because I just want to keep experiencing this flavor and what was the second thing that she said was that she wanted to live there so that she could just eat sushi every day.“

“Great ramen, hospitable staff, and great time. Will definitely come back again. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.“

“The food at Mikata was absolutely out of this world—without a doubt, the best sushi I’ve ever had! The enoki mushroom chips are a must-try. They’re unique and unlike anything I’ve had before, but they are SO good. The cocktails were top-notch and perfectly crafted as well.

A special thank you to Brian and Julia for providing such a wonderful birthday lunch experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Mikata to anyone looking for exceptional sushi and drinks in Atlanta!“

“This was my first time eating at JP’s. By far, the best sushi experience I have had at any sushi restaurants I have ever eaten at in Georgia. The restaurant is comfortable and spacious inside. The service is excellent, very attentive and kind hostess and waitresses. The menu also offers so many creative dishes and sushi rolls. The absolute must try is the Rambada roll. Absolutely delicious. Rolls are all quite large and reasonably priced. This is now my favorite sushi place and one we will be frequenting more often.“

“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.“

“We love this place and have been going for years. The atmosphere is great, food is excellent, and we are always served with a smile. My daughter believes this place has the BEST sushi around. They treat regulars like family and really take care of you. Highly recommend!“

“Very good food, reasonable prices, fast service and friendly staff.

I had eaten at the old place (Korean chicken) and I was interested in the express hibachi for dinner tonight. From the time I walked in until I left with my food was under 10 minutes. Everything appeared to be cooked fresh and they used all white meat chicken. The egg rolls were fine as was the rice and vegetables - but overall the taste wasn’t as rich as I’d hoped.“

“We had a wonderful birthday celebration here tonight. Thanks to my sweet daughter.
She made the reservation. Love it. The music and atmosphere and ambience is absolutely amazing.
Service and attention is absolutely top n amazing. Jeff and his team made it wonderful all the way. Thank you very much!
The lobster tempura roll and spider roll were very disappointing because all the other food was super delicious and top notch. Thank you for my birthday dessert.“

“We love this place. The food is great and the staff is super friendly. ❤️❤️“

“We had the best dinner at sushi tong tonight!!! Our daughter went with a friend recently and has been begging us to go back and now I know why! Staff is so friendly and helpful (and patient - lots of kids can be chaotic) and the food is great! We will be adding this to our regular rotation!“

“Wow ! Absolutely blew me away ! Me and my wife ordered an online order just a little before closing time and wow! The food was incredible , everything we ate had so much flavor , the amount of food we received was incredible and the staff was very friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do . If you’re reading this review it’s me telling you to go try UFO Hibachhi ASAP , you definitely won’t be disappointed !“

“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!“

“グレードの高い刺身が沢山。 オーナーさんもとても親切で居心地が良いです。“

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

“I came here on a recent date night, and the restaurant was pretty quiet. We had some great sushi rolls and lots to choose from. We also got some cold saki and the saki sangria, which was surprisingly good.

The service could have been a little more attentive I thought with the restaurant not being very busy.“

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

“Simply the BEST Ramen Soup ever 😎“

“we had a sushi combo sashimi and gyoza. everything was perfection!“
