Wanted to try a straight forward omakase spot and this was a good location. PARKING: was a bit challenging but there are a couple 1-2 hr spots that we were able to find on a busy Friday afternoon. FOOD: food was very tasty. There were some items that I would have not really expected such as the black miso cod (which was probably my least favorite). Favorite: king salmon, akami and the ebi. 16 course line up: Hamachi Ika Albacore tuna Salmon roe kanpachi * (amberjack) Botan ebi * Hirami Hokkaido Scallop Madai sea bream King salmon with yuzu pepper Akami with pickled wasabi Otoro with caviar Miso cod Wagyu with uni Spicy toro Unagi EXPERIENCE: When we entered, felt like we were being led through a dark maze... our sushi chef, Yohan, did not say much but once we started asking questions, he was super helpful in explaining menu items. Highly recommend service with him! ATMOSPHERE: they seem to want to be "traditional" in decor but there are different areas that have different feels. The music is loud/retro and not the typical Japanese calm aesthetic that they were going for. *** their co-Ed bathrooms were not the cleanest/felt more like a storage closet with toilet paper/cleaning supplies stored there. In order to be classified and have the feel of an "upscale" location, there is some room for improvement. *** Also *** if there was a menu with all the items + customization, will help the experience to be better ***

-- FOOD -- For the price the fish quality was good. It was very apparent that the fish used was very fresh and it did not have a fishy smell or taste. I do wish they included a miso soup and/or dessert though as it felt like not a complete meal with just the nigiri. -- SERVICE -- The service was good and the sushi chef was skilled even though the nigiri served was very classic and not creative. The server was attentively refilling our water's. I wish they provided a printed menu on what the order of the fish served for the nice was, and I wish we were provided with a drink menu when we were seated. -- AMBIANCE -- Absolutely loved the interior of the restaurant. Several intimate sushi bars create a nice quiet atmosphere. The decorations in the lounge area is nice too. Overall I think this is a good deal and a safe choice if people are looking to try their first Omakase experience in Atlanta.

Spicy tuna hand roll

Found this new omakase spot that opened in December 2025 through Instagram lol and their main differentiator is the $78 price point for 16 courses. Given the high quality of the fish and generous portion sizes I'd say it was a relatively good deal! The bar / waiting area is super dark and had a strange ambiance before we got ushered into the dining area which has 8 seats that are right next to each other (so not much personal space ). Each party got seated right to left in order of who got there first which maybe isn't great for people who made it a point to get there early. My boyfriend and I got slightly lost trying to find the location inside the plaza since the storefront is very unassuming and showed up 3rd but I somehow got the prime viewing point of the chef making everything which was really cool! The fish was all presliced which was a slight bummer since I would've loved to see them slice it right before it was served but still got to see the assembly. Some of the garnishes were on the experimental side (like chili crisp) but somehow the flavors worked alright with each other. The nigiris started out on the gentle flavor side and gradually became more pronounced in later courses. I thought the wasabi was too strong and drowned out the fish flavor for some of the earlier courses but maybe that's because I don't typically like wasabi. I felt the wagyu didn't need uni on top and perhaps even would've been a disappointment for uni fans since the wagyu flavor overpowered the uni but I'm not complaining since I don't like uni by itself. Spicy tuna roll was an odd follow up to the wagyu which felt like the main character of all the courses and it was a bit on the spicy side. That said, I really enjoyed the nigiris that I favorited in the photos! They were really delicious and memorable A couple of service mishaps that could be easily fixed and greatly elevated the experience are: - Rolled up hand towel is set at each place setting before you arrive. Unclear when you're supposed to use it, and if they came around with a tea pot of hot water that would unfurl the towel for you, that would easily level up the experience there. - Water kept getting refilled right when I was grabbing the nigiri with my chopsticks. Pretty bad timing especially since they have to precariously reach in between people to do so. Guy next to me ordered a drink which was filled to the brim and it was hard for him to get it behind his shoulder. - They were playing EDM which didn't match the vibe at all - Chef didn't explain any of the philosophy behind each course, he was pretty quiet and just announced what each item was before handing it to us and that was it Overall I'd come back if I was craving high quality nigiri but I do wish they improved their service to make the experience more elevated!

$78 for 16 courses but they also offer a 12 course option for slightly cheaper ($65?) The chef didn't talk too much other than when he gave us our pieces to explain what it was. I would say that the price is definitely good for the quality of the fish. Each slice was thick so you could really tell how great the quality was. Each piece was flavored in some way, either slightly with a soy sauce or topping. I will say that most of the pieces were on the saltier side.

It seems like the front and back room experiences are very different in terms of ambiance. I specifically requested the front room and we were still seated in the back room with the weird curtain. I peaked in to the front while waiting on my husband and they looked like they were enjoying their experience a lot more. Our chef didn't really have much personality and we barely understood what each course was. It felt rushed. We did the 12 course lunch menu. The fish was high quality and we enjoyed all of them. The standouts were the salmon, scallop, and tuna. I am not sure if we would be back to try dinner. There are so many other omakase options in Atlanta now, I think you would probably get a better experience at a different location.

The staff here is delightful. The older lady hostess is so sweet and customer friendly. I started in the bar while waiting on my other friends. I've been to a LOT of omakase across ATL, NYC, and CHI. And Michelin star omakase. Love omakase. I found the fish to be fresh, but it's not the best omakase I've had. I think more hype than anything imo. The handing of the sushi through a little opening is odd to me. The chef, while friendly, didn't go into much detail about the fish. They should likely have a menu so you know the fish for each course. You can barely see the chef. I did find their bar menu to be VERY offputting. I was charged $39 for a g4 reposado bartenders special that was well balanced but not spirit forward. In no world should a drink be that pricey. IF I return I wouldn't drink. Things like this (bar greed) turn me off about places. My gf ordered 2 and was shocked when she had a $80 bar tab alone. You can also order other nigiri and my friend ordered a hand roll. There was no matcha or dessert offered fyi so maybe that's changed. But I am now read ing when you go to the back room they cut those things out yet still charge the same. I don't think I would return for $120 - this was not the experience.

Jeff was my chef and he was great! Their prices are crazy good! I loved their uni especially! The vibe was good as well. All in all good experience!

Heard a lot of amazing reviews about this place that recently opened and was lucky to get a reservation. If you love sushi, 1678 Omakase is a must, especially for the price. Every course was -- super fresh fish, clean flavors, and perfectly balanced bites. Our Chef, Chef Joe took a lot of time and effort to curated a lot of care into each piece, from the knife work to the seasoning. Chef Joe explained what each piece was paired with without being over the top, which made it easy to appreciate the different fish and textures. The progression of the courses was spot on, and nothing felt rushed. The vibe is relaxed, with a separate waiting room which they plan to turn into a hand roll bar. They have super limited seating, 8 guest at most, making the experience super intimate. Hands down one of the best omakase experiences I've had. Already made another reservation for this weekend! At $78 for a 16 course omakase, this price can't be beat here in Atlanta. Here are the ones that were included in the course + I ordered a Kani Nigiri as well: 1. Hamachi - Yellow Tail 2. Squid - Ika 3. Albacore with Ponzu Sauce & Scallion 4. Botan Ebi - Sweet Prawn 5. Kanpachi - Amberjack with Ginger Scallion Sauce (reminded me of the Ginger Scallion Sauce for Hainanese Chicken) 6. Hirame - Fluke with Lime Zest 7. Madai - Sea Bream with a Chili Crisp Sauce 8. Ikura - Salmon Roe 9. Hotate - Hokkaido Scallop with Charcoal Salt 10. Miso Black cod with Yuzu Miso Sauce 11. King salmon with Yuzu Pepper Sauce 12. Akami - Bluefin Lean Tuna with Pickled Wasabi (had a kick to it) 13. Chutoro - Applewood Smoked Fatty Tuna with Caviar) 14. Otoro - Fatty Tuna with Pickled Daikon) 15. Wagyu with Uni (Uni from California) 16. Toro Hand Roll 17. Unagi - BBQ Eel 18. Kani -Blue Crab

U N I 2gether 4ever Check out 1678 Omakase, Brookhaven's first Omakase spot. 16-course for $78, hence the name lol. They also have 12 or 20-course option available. We opt'd for the Signature 16 course & it was the perfect portion. The freshly whisked matcha compliments it well since they don't have drinks menu for now so you can BYOB. Intimate 8 counter seatings w/ Chef Johan, a must visit before they change the name to 16100 or something higher LMAO :P Here's our line-up: 1. Hamachi (Yellowtail) 2. Ika (Squid) 3. Kanpachi (Amberjack) 4. Botan Ebi (sweet shrimp) 5. Albacore 6. Ikura (Salmon Roe) 7. Shima Aji (Striped Jack) 8. Hotate (Scallops) 9. Madai (Sea Bream) 10. Salmon 11. Akami (Lean Tuna) 12. Smoked Otoro (Fatty Tuna) 13. Miso Black Cod 14. Wagyu w/ Uni (Sea Urchin) 15. Kani Handroll (Blue Crab) 16. Unagi (Eel)

Hokkaido scallop with charcoal salt

I've been to a lot of omakase, some VERY pricey, but this was hands down the best experience I've had! It's a very intimate dining experience, max seating is only 8 people per group. Definitely an upscale experience, so dress nice! They have deep house music playing which gives it a chic vibe. We came early and the staff were all super polite and professional. Our sushi chef, chef Joe, was funny, and very talented. Every course of the 16 course meal was hand made right in front of us and served by the chef straight to our plate. The food was phenomenal. Each hand crafted course had distinct and vibrant flavor profiles. We did the 16 course experience (which only cost 78$ per person! So affordable!), and chef Joe added the unagi nigiri on the house. We ordered the Kani to as extra. 1. Hamachi yellow tail 2. Squid ika 3. Albacore ponzu sauce with scallion 4. Botan ebi (sweet prawn) 5. Kanpachi (amberjack with ginger scallion sauce) 6. Hirame (fluke with lime zest) 7. Madai (sea bream with chili sauce) 8. Ikura (salmon roe) 9. Hotate (Hokkaido scallop with charcoal salt) 10. Miso Black cod with yuzu miso sauce 11. King salmon with yuzu pepper sauce 12. Akami (bluefin lean tuna with pickled wasabi) 13. Chutoro (apple wood smoked fatty tuna with caviar) 14. Otoro (fatty tuna with pickled daikon) 15. Wagyu with uni 16. Toro hand roll 17. Unagi bbq eel 18. Kani (blue crab) I cannot stress each course was sensational in presentation, flavor, and freshness. As I'm writing this review I'm already looking to book another reservation!

Great place for lunch omakase! Came here on a Saturday lunch and did the 16 course omakase. Was planning to do the 12 course but everything was so great that we decided to do 16. The quality of the fish was amazing and it was a nice 8 person setting. Took around an hour or so for the whole meal and the chef was very knowledgeable about the fish and had worked at omakase and restaurants for over 10 years. There were some fun bonuses like matcha cheesecake and matcha with our meal. All in all I was super impressed by everything especially the otoro hand roll. Will definitely be back!

Great introduction to an Omakase experience!! Everything was fresh, tasted amazing, and presented well. You cannot be the price. On Mondays they have free warm saki which paired well with experience. Service was on point, the chef explained everything through the whole process. Will definitely go back!

Alexandra R.

Incredible service, one of a kind omakase that was carefully crafted. Food was incredible, though it's really only nigiri sushi and a couple hand rolls. Drinks are expensive but good quality. I was full by the end but my husband was still hungry!

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants!!…read more Super unique selections like deep fried tomato as the sushi wrap to more traditional options like California rolls.

Rusan's is one of those places. I have been several times, and writing this review to share new additions to their menu offerings. Karen at this location shared the addition of alcoholic beverages to the menu. The rollout was not fully completed when I visited, but they were a few things offered. The upcoming lineup included several unique concoctions that I look forward to having with future meals. Selected dinner options included, Ru San seafood nachos, an avocado/tuna maki, and House fried rice. Paired with a margarita alcoholic beverage. The nachos must include the Ru San name as the style was different from any other type of nachos previously eaten. They were individual large sized nacho chips with avocado, shrimp and tuna and accompanied with a sauce. The taste was delicious and noticed that many people ordered. Portion size was large enough to share. The sushi roll tuna was tender and perfect with the avocado - obviously I cannot get enough avocados! Was extremely pleased to learn fresh fish arrived daily and was a point of pride for Ru San. Karen always provides the best service! She assisted Alan, our fairly new waiter, by checking on us consistently as she did with her assigned tables inside and in patio seating area. Service was excellent by both individuals and look forward to my next visit.

We were greeted upon arrival and everyone was so nice! Their service is top tier no complaints. We ended up getting various items from their menu. Starting off with Appetizers: Hanabi was delicious, the crunchiness of the rice and the tuna was well seasoned. Murasaki Truffle Fries unfortunately were a miss for me. They landed a little heavier than I expected and I did not want to keep eating it. They could have been a bit more crispier but overall not bad. Entrees: We ended up getting their signature Nigiris (toro & yellowtail) they were absolutely delicious! Honestly what made us like Tomo more. We ended up getting their 8 nigiri entree with California roll. I would give it 7/10. Dessert: we got their chocolate crepe cake and they gave us a bread pudding. The bread pudding was a bit too eggy for me but the chocolate crepe cake was absolutely rich & phenomenal. Overall we had a great time and they offer free valet! We will be back

We had the mapo tofu, it was a mild, slow spice. It was good but I wished there was ground pork in the dish as the original would have ground pork. The veggie spring rolls are fine. I think they're not made in house as they are all uniformly shaped. FIsh & sour cabbage soup. We started with this soup, everyone liked it. I grew up with this soup and think it's good except maybe cut down a little on the sourness(?) Soup dumplings. These were nice, the skin's a little thick but it's not Ding Tai Fung, therefore can't complain. The filling was good, the soup inside was sufficient. I wished it came with julienne ginger in the dipping sauce. Bok Choy & shitake mushroom. Everyone in my group loved this dish. The shitake were the fresh ones, not those dried and rehydrated. The sauce was ok, not terribly sweet. Overall a good dish. Yang Chow fried rice had shrimp and small fried pieces of chicken in it. It was pale looking but fragrant and flavorful. No complains there, Sichuan string beans with beef. I personally loved this dish even though it's not the usual with ground pork minus beef. I could've polished this off by myself but had to share with my 5 other friends. Hot & numbing combination. I love this dish, it had a bit of everything (protein), napa cabbage, black fungus, mungbean noodles. It was not too numbing. Flavor was mild, if you are keen to try a szechuan dish, start with this mild version. Overall, we had a good meal, everyone went home feeling satisfied and some of us took some home. So, everything said, there's something for everyone on this menu! Will definitely come here again.
