The SceneThe interior runs to blond wood, minimalist watercolors and sliding rice-paper doors. One dining room offers traditional seating and a sushi menu. In the other, knives flash and oils are juggled over a sizzling hibachi table. Patrons--heavy on kids, tourists and business travelers--are seated in groups of eight around the black marble-topped table.The FoodThe sushi menu is limited--maybe two dozen selections--but it's all ultra-fresh and skillfully executed. The tuna has a bit more berry to it, the rolls are tighter and hold together neatly, and the shrimp tempura is perfectly crunchy. Entrees, accompanied by vegetables and steamed or fried rice, include a lobster and filet mignon combination, along with shrimp and chicken.

Best Sushi around
By lostintransit144 on 06/18/2008
I never really eat sushi but I had to eat it here it was so good. My girlfriend loves sushi and she said its the best place she has ever been. We also brought our friend from overseas and she said it was the best sushi she has had in the world. Fantastic atmosphere and service. The hostess were phenomenal. Would recommend to anyone in the area or driving through Atlanta like we were.

Very reasonably priced, amazing quality, very good servers. Comparable to sushi around the Tsukiji market in Tokyo and in Torrance in LA. Good sake list.

Best Sushi Hands Down
By olily1023 on 06/18/2008
This is the best kept secret in town!!! I've been to sushi restaurants around town but only a few are Japanese owned and operated. To some people, I'm sure that doesn't matter, but it's nice to see someone take pride in their culture and keep it authentic. The Nakato family is in it's third generation and has been in Atlanta for over 35 years now. The service is super friendly every time we go in and the food is always wonderful. If you haven't been, you need to give it a try!
