Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Using the crabs, a couple eggs, a slice of bacon, & a couple of handy techniques, Wong makes a variation on the traditional Japanese egg custard that is as complex as it is comforting. Read more
- Creative Loafing AtlantaJuly 15, 2016Miso's menu spans a variety of mini-genres: Japanese standards, Mantou-style steamed buns, fusion-y salads, Chinese veggie dishes, Korea-by-way-of-Japan grilled meats, and typical sushi bar maki. Read more
Hayley LangleyApril 27, 2017We mixed and matched and everything was fabulous! The best gyoza!! Duck bun and Ramen were great and oh my lord the sushi rolls!! Definitely hit the spot and we will be back to try more!- Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013Roasted duck confit, shredded and crisp around the edges, is tucked into the fold of a delicate steamed rice-flour bun, make the crispy duck buns one of CL's 100 Dishes to try before you die.

Sareh BacaApril 8, 2014This place is great for sharing. Everything we ordered was delicious. Table favorites were Dan Dan Ramen, Pork Kimchi Rice, And Kale salad. Best Moscow Mule and Tom Collins around.- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014More fun arrives in the form of steak and eggs kushiyaki — two skewers with alternating bites of tender short rib meat and whole, hard-boiled quail eggs. Read more
highly recommend duck buns and shoyu tomago (egg on crispy rice). Sushi is fantastic. Walk in and grab a seat at sushi bar or bar area. Reasonably priced cocktails.
Kailee CrawfordJune 24, 2016AMAZING sushi and other Japanese dishes. The eggplant is amazing, I'd go back just for that. Mushrooms are also delicious. Try the Nigori cloudy sake
Romain VezirianOctober 10, 2017Everything on the menu is worth trying. Very affordable too. The crab noodles were amazing.
- Creative Loafing AtlantaJanuary 30, 2012If Hello Kitty had a mouth, she'd take great pleasure in this Japanese version of a slider named Hamburg bun. The bun is folded over and pinned to contain a patty of freshly ground pork belly and beef Read more
Spoon UniversityMay 6, 2016Miso is a classic go-to for sushi lovers. If you don’t Instagram the shoyu tamago or the oshi sushi, then you’re not doing it right. Read more
- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Dishes like Berkshire pork kakuni over stone-ground grits evoked an ode to creative use of Southern influence from the AJC's John Kessler. Read more
The shoyu tamago is a must, and you can get those cool t-shirts for just $10. But please, for the love of all that is holy, bring back the heated pineapple.- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014A revamped signature cocktail list helps smooth things over (though these cocktails come in more expensive than most of the dishes).

Tim BallJuly 13, 2013Here's a tip: If you want cocktails, look for the menu hanging from your table. Don't ask your server, because if you get ours, he'll "explain" the sake menu by "reading" it aloud to you.
Chris KonecnyOctober 3, 2013Cool place off beaten path. Shochu menu is fantastic, learned something new today. Sashimi is good nothing special. They were out of my sushi barometer, Uni.
The Hitachino Nipponian beer is a MUST!!! It's a pricey beer, but it's high gravity, in a large bottle, and worth every penny--and then some.
Available beginning at 10PM. This is gourmet ramen: top-notch toppings, amazing noodles. Clean, fantastic broth with depth of flavor that develops character as toppings soak over time.
get the soft-boiled egg over the rice, the sake crunch roll, black edamame & salt & pepper quail. oooh, and the grapefruit/ginger drink! so refreshing...
They have amazing cocktails, play great music, and it's some of the best sushi I've had in the Atlanta area. YUM.
Honestly you could get anything and it would be amazing. The spicy sashimi salad as well as the Karubi are both amazing.
Rafael FerreiraSeptember 6, 2012It has an awesome Katsu Bun, which is definitely a must, and to start a Gyoza.
RichJune 15, 2015Pretty good food, but the service was a bit strange. Attentive while around, but didn't come by often. Food comes out randomly so that some people may be done eating before others even start.
Guy Wong is on the map! This place is awesome! Try the buns!!...and I don't mean his.
Love everything about this place. Gear food, pretty decor and BANGING cocktails!
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Todd Richards, chef of The Shed at Glenwood, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Kakuni bun. Read more
Delicious food and awesome staff. The perfect combo.
Brett MMarch 21, 2010Salt & pepper quail, duck buns, spicy pork buns, shashimi was pretty solid, chicken karagae, garlic edemane ... Barley shochu on the rocks ... All solid dishes.- Creative Loafing AtlantaNovember 29, 2011One of Cliff's top 10 restaurants. There is nothing on his menu he would not recommend. But the slider-like steamed buns and late-night ramens are favorites.
The spring maki roll is one of the best sushi rolls I have had. The fried fish cheek is great too!
- The sake choices here are the absolute best in the area. Try them in an overflowing glass.
- Everything here is amazing. The pork belly bun especially.

"Great brewery in the front - grab a beer and stroll along all the food stalls. They have both sit down restaurants and casual pick up spots. Definitely try Yalla and Superica"
