50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Smyrna

“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.“

“This place is a great small business, I believe it's ran by husband and wife. In terms of service they are so kind and accommodating. I ordered online and didn't realize they had a lunch special, so I ordered something that would be considered the lunch special w/o the soup and salad + rate. When I went to pick up the kinda lady informed me to order the lunch special and even offered to get me a soup and salad.

Food is 10/10. I love the sushi it taste fresh and authentic. I enjoy it every time I've ordered from here!“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“Best ramen I’ve ever had! Every time I tried ramen before, something always felt a bit off,even in places known for great food. But here, everything was perfect. The pork was incredibly tender, the eggs were cooked just right, and the spicy broth was amazing. I had squid balls for the first time here, and they were so delicious!!!I’ll definitely be coming back. Can’t wait!“

Thanks again, Jason, and thanks for writing in my notebook!! 100% recommended ✨“

“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!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Umi! Four of us went and we decided to everything so that we could try multiple food items. We started wtih the Shrimp tempura and the Spicy tuna/crispy rice and they were both delicious. We moved on the avocado wasabi salads, wagyu beef appetizer, and several rolls topped off with the sea bass. Everything we tasted was outstanding - my two faves were the avocado salad and the wagyu beef! Our waitstaff were fun and attentive - we had a great time all the way around! We can't wait to go back :)“

“My friends and I came and all got multiple things. The salmon sushi burrito was so good! They enjoyed the pho, not too spicy. My absolute favorite though was the ramen. The closest to authentic Japanese I have found in GA! So so good! Will be back!“

“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‼️‼️‼️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Not only does the place smell so good inside… food is hot crisp and delicious!“

“I'm in a nursing home and once a month we coordinate a big takeout order with various places. We have used Okinawa Austell 3 times now, and everytime, without fail, they have given us delicious perfection! And their lunch prices are extremely affordable, even for us! We average 30 to 35 orders each time! Everything is always packaged so we can identify each order easily, and there have been ZERO mistakes or complaints. Zero complaints! Chase is always spectacular with his customer service and attention to detail. I wish i could remember the names of the other people whom ive interacted with. They were just as pleasant and helpful. I cant say enough about how much we love Okinawa Austell! Their Dallas Hwy location is also a gem. My sister and I used to go there at least once a month. It was our favorite sushi spot! It appears that Okinawa provides excellence no matter which location you go to! I would give more stars if I could!“

“We have enjoyed dining at Nagoya for at least 30 years ( including the former location) and highly recommend it. Among our favorites are the Ebi Ebi roll and Spider roll.“

“Had a little mix-up with my drive-thru order, but the Paris team handled it amazingly! They were super apologetic, quickly remade the food, and even gave me a voucher without me asking. Everyone makes mistakes, what really matters is how you handle them, and this team handled it with professionalism and kindness. You can tell there’s strong leadership behind the scenes. Great customer service goes a long way. Thank you!“

“Simplified menu, fantastic Hibachi for the price. No dessert menu, but they definitely focus more on their core experience and menu. Low lighting is good for those with light sensitivity, can be loud if there are birthday celebrations, but that's true of nearly all restaurants.“

“the atmosphere is great and the food is awesome“

“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.“

“Was surprised, very nice.“

“I come to Atlanta for business and stay close to this restaurant. This is my favourite restaurant by far. Love the food, it is very price worthy and the portions are huge (by European standards) I have had Hibachi in Japan but this is almost as good. I really recommend this place. Everything is so good. Service is excellent.“

“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!“

“I love dinning at this restaurant, always a great place to get delicious food with friends and family. Mrs. Chen always makes me feel like a king.“

“I stop by HibachiMan every time I’m in the area. The Japanese-style hibachi, not your typical Chinese fried rice, along with their homemade secret sauces, is absolutely amazing. My kid even uses HibachiMan’s sauces on everything at home!“

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

“The best Chinese food I’ve had in 20yrs, came in town for a wedding, looked up gluten free restaurants, hit the more button, they popped up, I talked everyone in trying them, and wow it was awesome, everybody loved it. Thanks for doing an excellent job, the spicy teriyaki chicken was off the chain, & the veggie was cook to perfection. Just try it and leave your review !“
