    Chicken soup
    Katherine F.

    I found a hidden jewel on books and brew. I found their soup the most delicious I have ever tried. With a generous portion too. I enjoyed reading some of the "incarceration nation" book that caught my eye, while drinking my nice and warm mint tea. I love this place and I hope them to grow. Excuse my half way eaten chicken soup... yum!

    Fabulous bookstore and more! Came here with a friend for a happy hour brew and some reading time. They didn't have one of the books I was looking for, but recommended another that I'm very excited about. If you're looking for a place to hangout and read, delicious homemade cookies, or a solid book recommendations, go here!

    Quiet table in front.

We love grabbing drinks here, playing games from their huge selection, or catching a game on one of their TVs. It's extremely family-friendly--you'll see plenty of parents with babies and kids--but it's also a great hangout for singles and groups, with a crowd that ranges from 20s to 50s. They offer a vast selection of beer, IPAs, and sours on tap, plus a solid handful of wine options. There's also a refrigerated section on the right with canned drinks, including hemp, CBD, and THC-infused options, and even kombucha for those skipping alcohol. We've been coming since they opened, and it's been fun to watch the concept evolve. Most recently, a barbecue spot opened inside, and it looks like more food options are coming--think food hall vibes off to the right. There's also a cute coffee shop that opened in the same building. Bonus PSA: Chamblee has an open container law, so you can walk around with your drink and bop to other nearby spots with ease. Love that

But nothing at all other than the beer list makes it feel 'brewery', it's very much an upscale interior, fanstic layout of sushi bar, regular bar, open air dining and outdoor patio. The food - wow. very unique flavor profiles, hearty, lots of great options between samplers, sushi, and main courses. Pro Tip - if you feel overwhelemed about the menu, most of the staff that i meet here know it very well and have worked here for a very long time, so feel free to ask, we were suprised by such a good selection of options by our bartender.

The interior has an open concept - cool to see in open view the whole kitchen. Fresh seafood and sushi. All made/prepped in house. The hand rolls were great, as well as shrimp roll, which had interesting curry fries that came along it, which I thought was nice. I didn't try any of the noodle type dishes so can't comment on those. I enjoyed it! However.... The dessert was horrible. Overpriced gas station dessert (actually, gas station dessert is probably better and cheaper). All brought in from an outside commercial vendor/wholesaler (confirmed upon asking). Specifically, I ordered 2 desserts: one resembling something like a creme brûlée and one that was a layered chocolate cake/tart. Both were shockingly bad, and you don't want that especially after a good meal. Maybe they were old? Regardless, either don't serve any of these desserts, or offer like 2 options that are made in house.

It's not just a one-time standout; the consistency is what really sets it apart. What stood out more this time was the overall experience around it. Sitting at the bar with a drink in hand, in a bright and calm setting, made it easy to slow down and really enjoy the food. The space feels clean and polished, yet relaxed enough to have a conversation without distraction. Service continues to reflect the same level of care and attention I noticed on my previous visit--attentive, personal, and thoughtfully done without being over the top. Tsion and Hana were especially welcoming and made sure everything was just right, adding to the overall experience. That consistency across both the food and the experience is what keeps bringing me back.

We had a vegetarian platter with several dishes: there was a cold salad of lettuce and tomato, some lentils, something yellow, cabbage, and some greens. We also had a raw ground beef dish and a hot beef and onion dish that was served separately in a clever pot that had a compartment within for a heat source. There was a small bowl of crumbled white cheese and a bowl of spice for condiments along with lots of injera. I tried everything and found I didn't care for the spice (too hot for me) but everything else was tasty! The restaurant has a bar. Besides the conventional booths and tables, there's a seating area for traditional coffee service that has couches. The dining room is open, brightly lit, and clean. It was surprisingly quiet, with only a few diners. Large tvs showed sports and Fox News with the sound off. The wait staff was attentive and welcoming. They spoke Ethiopian also.

The drinks are good but they tack on a gratuity so watch for that. Their food looked good, I didnt order but my friend did. Now for the karaoke room. I checked out the menu before entering and seen it is VERY expensive per hour...... this is definitely a place you need to come with a group of at least 6 ppl...... The karaoke rooms have their own unisex bathroom inside so you dont need to leave the room unless you wanna get a drink directly from the bar. All it all, this was pretty expensive, with my group's bill totaling to over $600 plus some food and drinks...

    Atrocious experience this Saturday 4/25/26…read more We were actually over at sweet hut around 9pm and decided to check out Sapphire Karaoke since they were close by. At 9:26pm, we sent 2 people from our group of 6 to go by Sapphire to see if they had availability for us. The manager told them "yes, we will have a room in 5 minutes" so the rest of our group showed up excited and ready to karaoke. We waiting patiently 10-15 minutes and the manager came by again with "I'm sorry but someone messed up reservations and we won't have a room until 10pm". It was 9:44 pm at this point. The manager could tell we were about to leave and she comes back and says "oh good news, this group is checking out now. I'll have a room ready in 10 minutes". 2 from our group couldn't wait longer so they left. The rest of us decided to wait and got 2 bottles of Soju. It's $15 a bottle and THEY WILL CHARGE YOU A NON OPTIONAL GRATUITY so keep that in mind if you want to leave a tip, it's additional. Our total for the soju ended up averaging $20 a bottle. I asked the manager at 10pm what's going on and she just cuts me off and keeps walking with a "hold on". 10:15pm rolls around and the manager was no where to be seen. At this point we have been waiting 45 minutes with no updates when the original wait quote was FIVE minutes. We saw 3-4 parties come in and get seated. I'm not sure what kind of business they're trying to run but we sure felt BAMBOOZLED out of $50 for 2 bottles of soju and wasted 45 minutes of our time. They clearly have to figure out their scheduling/reservation system if the staff are making multiple errors. Don't lie to patrons that you have a room available when you don't. This felt like the equivalent of an overbooked/oversold flight and they were hoping they could get more clients to cover no shows- at least be honest and say we were on a waitlist.

We went with a friend and none of us had ever been. I was convinced before we arrived that I was NOT going to get what I wanted. I WAS WRONG. We each ordered a small one patty smashed burger, all with cheese, one with Smiley's sauce one it, one with the sauce on the side and one no sauce. We then ordered an order of fries and requested no spice. No problem. Then the homemade chips and no special sauce. Again, no problem. The homemade potato chips and fries came with Smiley's special sauce. Other condiments were on a table for your taking. Then the food arrived. The three of us just looked at this amazing plating of food. It was beautiful and we hoped it would taste half as good as it looked. We were in awe. All agreed it was the best burger we had eaten in a very long time. Would put it above other burgers in the Atlanta area and we have tried most of them. Service was some of the best.

The inside has a lot of One Piece (Anime) decorations and toys. The theme is log pirate ship on the inside. I ordered the Shoyu Spicy Pork and Chicken Kaarage. The Chicken Kaarage is fried chicken with a little hot Korean chili sauce. The Shoyu Spicy Pork was the right level of spice. There was a $2 off special for ordering the Chicken Kaarage with the Ramen but next time I will add protein to the Ramen instead. They were also running a 3 for $10 deal. I got a Japanese draft beer, bottle Blue Moon, and hot sake. This is a great deal. Coming here is worth this deal alone.

Look it up if you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. :) My friend said the ramen was a B+. I had the French kiss sushi burrito with an additional side of the California roll. We also shared the peach Kiri which wasn't that sweet. But then again, sweetness implies too much sugar. He wanted the more authentic thing which this did the trick. The sushi wrapping was not what I expected with the sushi burrito. It wasn't made with a tortilla of sorts nor was it seaweed. It was made with a thin radish-like wrapping. Because of the wrapping, the burrito didn't feel firm. But all the right ingredients were there to add to this fresh tasting burrito. There was a kick due to the kimchi sauce and spicy mayo that spiced things up - literally and figuratively. The salmon, shrimp, crab salad, and avocado were all delicious. I really enjoyed this unique sushi burrito as it didn't feel heavy but healthier. The California roll was so so. It was a bit soggy. Yeah. Soggy isn't a word to describe sushi, but that was what the roll's texture felt like. It wasn't a firm roll when you picked it up. It's like what I would describe as soggy or even squishy. As for the taste, it was just okay. Nothing wowing that comes to mind. I think the texture was more on my mind like the sushi rice was recently made, and it still hadn't settled yet. Would I come back? Yes, I would. Even my friend said he'd come back again. So there's my verdict: Give this place a try. Maybe I'll try the vampire ramen next time. Yes, I said vampire ramen. ;)
