Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015The spicy tuna crispy rice is extraordinary. The rice is lightly fried, then topped with spicy tuna tartare and jalapeño. The fresh fish, crunch, and spice all swirl into a heavenly bite. Read more
Yun Kyung JiMay 14, 2016Expect a lot of ppl even on weekdays. Get the avocado starter, tuna tartare, otoro nigiri w/ caviar, and the chocolate bento box (it's better than it looks)! Best sushi in ATL🍣🍴
Jihyun OhOctober 22, 2016Ito-Kase (Chef's choice omakase) at the bar is definitely recommended. Great service and conversation with the chefs and good food. Favorite nigiri: salmon with truffle cream, uni, Wagyu.
Chelsea BalkanOctober 8, 2014#DubiDO #FabuLIST Spicy tuna crispy rice, rock shrimp, preferred black cod over the sea bass, otoro caviar nigiri, shrimp tempura roll, and new page roll. For dessert get chocolate ball and bento box
Such fresh sushi. Loved the nigiri and and the chocolate bento box for dessert with green tea ice cream. Good sake selection too.
As of summer 2013, this place is brand new, and always on a wait, but it's worth it. Amazingly fresh sushi with wonderful textures and flavors. Certified Kobe beef to die for. Great drink selection.
Carly OrbonMarch 9, 2014I've been all over the country and this is the best Sushi I've had to date. The selections are brilliant. Try the Scallop appetizer, you will not be disappointed by the taste or the presentation!
The best Japanese restaurant in Atlanta -- there are NO others, trust me! Order the Omakase if you are feeling adventurous or just sit at the sushi bar & what the magestry!
Noemi RamosMarch 21, 2018Menu is great ! I have shellfish allergies and they accommodate my need ... looking forward to go again ..
MarialexandraFebruary 9, 2018The attention and service is superb and everything we ordered was amazing. The fish was incredibly fresh, just amazing.
Yufei JianSeptember 29, 2017NEVER GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! They have weird dress code and keep us from having dinner there, while we then proceeded to CHOPS, a more luxury restaurant, and were seated and served nicely.
Cliff SinonDecember 29, 2022I had a great time on my birthday. Fish sauce combos were great. Not much I didn’t like. Snapper potato dish was a little wonky.
AdrianFebruary 23, 2014This might sound weird, but their pickled ginger is really good! Ginger from other restaurants is too "soapy" and bitter, like Lemon Fresh Joy. Umi's seemed sweeter to me. Excellent!
Ryan MeanyAugust 4, 2013Omakase! The only way to go... Sit back relax, and enjoy something that has been reserved for the in the know crowd of NYC has found there spot here in ATL...
- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Each tiny bite-size piece of uni is dry with no traces of oil — a sign of a deft hand — and the flavors all melt together with a quick swipe in the accompanying lemony ponzu sauce. Read more
Kristin KellySeptember 28, 2014The spicy rock shrimp tempura, typhoon and kamikaze rolls are not to be missed.
JULIA CurranJuly 31, 2014Very loud but very good food! They don't let you take home left overs so don't over order like I did!!!
- David StreetFebruary 10, 2016Great food and service, however, waiting an hour for a table when we have a reservation is not up to our standards.
MiMi NNovember 22, 2013Not that good sushi quality, bet owner is not Japanese. We ordered "toro" but they served "maguro" they trick like this. B careful. Interior is nice if u feel fancy then good place. Not classy
Jason H.June 18, 2019Very dark, very loud, and very expensive - but the food is EXCELLENT! Mouthwatering sushi.
- Rose LoveOctober 29, 2020Racist, terrible service. Will only enforce policies towards black people. I do not recommend eating here.
Caitlin HJuly 18, 2013Service is horrible. Forgot to put in food order. Really, really loud. Hung up on when I called to ask where the place is located.- Rose LoveOctober 29, 2020Racist, terrible service. Will only enforce imaginary policies towards black people. I do not recommend eating here.
