A cut above most chain hibachi places. Great for a party of 6+ (or 10, 12+). It is LOUD and your clothes will be fragrant when you leave, but the chefs do a great show. Sirloin steak is great.

Off the beaten path, but elegant and friendly, this is a great restaurant. The Nakato Special with skewered chicken, sushi and filet mignon at $23 is the best deal in the house! One Word: Yummy!!

Try Cayrum, its a dark rum aged 3 years and then infused with all natural ginger and honey. Its great as a chilled shot, on the rocks, ginger ale/beer, juices or Red Bull. Theres nothing like it! Read more

Great service, sushi rolls were very fresh and the hot pot was tons of fun, great for a small group!

I had not been here in years but still good. I had shrimp/scallop hibachi. They give u a lot!

Great food—but as of 2014, table management and wait times are just ridiculous on even moderately-trafficked nights.

Love the white kelp rolls!! Sit at the sushi bar and the chefs will recommend what's fresh for the day

Their hot pot is really good here. Also ask for a pickle assortment and have it with a beer.

They have a great happy hour: 5 dishes plus a drink for $15 between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m.

Excellent traditional Shabou-Shabou & sukiyaki. Go for sure but avoid valet by using back parking lot. Worst Valet set up in Atlanta.

Very average, over priced hibachi. The chefs widely vary in skill, so with a bit of bad luck you'll be underwhelmed and over paying. A must skip.

Try the filet and chicken combo with a golden oolong tea which needs a little splenda.

Horrible management. Made a reservation for 9 PM, but weren't seated until 10 PM. Their excuse: we didn't think you would be here by then. Not very smart people running the place.
