Josh WeissJuly 6, 2018A 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.Upvoted Dec 31, 2024- Peter G McDermottApril 24, 2011Off 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!!
Cassie XieJuly 13, 2015Great service, sushi rolls were very fresh and the hot pot was tons of fun, great for a small group!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Shea SteedFebruary 14, 2022I 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.
Sissi ChenJune 25, 2016Love the white kelp rolls!! Sit at the sushi bar and the chefs will recommend what's fresh for the day
Dolores LoudermilkMarch 11, 2017Their 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.
Watch their website and facebook for 'name that fish' Fridays. Be the first to get the correct answer to get a discount on your next meal.
Nicole ReardonNovember 10, 2011not just a grill- also has fine dining (but you can still order from the grill).
Absolute best sushi hands down! And authentic. A great family owned restaurant.

Robert BerrisJuly 9, 2017Very 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.
Christopher JulianoNovember 2, 2010Try the filet and chicken combo with a golden oolong tea which needs a little splenda.
Hersh AgarwalNovember 18, 2012Horrible 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.
Specials available if you order before 6:30 M-Thur. Good deal.

"True fusion of a Japanese and Southwestern flavors done expertly. Try the *amazing* Tomo uni, sea urchin wrapped in a shiso leaf and tempura fried."

"The chicken fried rice and the filet are always good. I can't get enough of the whipped garlic butter!"

"Salmon rice. It's rice with grilled salmon, butter, salmon roe and a spicy sauce served in a hot stone bowl so the rice get crispy at the bottom. So good!"
