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

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

    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.

    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.
