I came into Brush with high expectations and was severely let down. I arrived with a 6 top reservation, we were seated and were so excited to celebrate our friends birthday. Upon sitting we were greeted, given water and told the server it was our first time. We received no explanation of the menu or dishes and were left alone for roughly 15 minutes. We finally were able to put drinks in, only after our server was rude about the type of sake my friend was trying to order. We let it slide but we waited another 30+ minutes before we were able to put in food! We had already been sitting at the table for nearly an hour. The food however, arrived promptly and was delicious. We enjoyed everything we ate. We did have to ask to receive refills on our waters and to have our plates cleared. Overall our experience felt disjointed and incredibly unorganized. If it weren't for the food being excellent this would be a one star review. Beauty full space, excellent food, abhorrent service. read more

Brush is so good and Jordyn at the bar is amazing ! Shout out to her and her great service. Now the food.. 10/10 I had some delicious sashimi (can't remember the details) but I think it was a yellowtail situation. Croissant service Wagyu smash burger espresso soft serve Great spot read more

Came Sunday morning when they first opened and got seated quickly at the bar. Staff were friendly and service was great! Interior was nice. Bara chirashi box comes with edamame and miso soup. Both edamame and miso soup were too salty for my liking and wasn't all that impressed with the bara chirashi box. Was expecting more raw fish and it was difficult eating with chopsticks since the rice was that sticky and would quickly fall apart. Will have to come back and try other dishes since it's so highly rated. The Hokkaido milk soft serve was really good though and can really taste the black truffle which was surprisingly good! read more

I'm always skeptical of restaurants in this area of Buckhead but Brush was excellent. I got a reservation on a Friday night for 4 of us and we got this super cute booth which was very roomy and cozy. Had to get some drinks of course and I am a sucker for a lychee martini which was delish. To start we got some classic edamame. We also decided to try the croissant with the mapo tofu which was essentially a spread but yum. We got the scallion pancake as well which was so good we got 2. For sushi we did the yellowtail jalapeno the wagyu and the spicy tuna. While I love the yellowtail the spicy tuna was my fave. And wagyu is always great! The negitoro was good but maybe not worth the splurge Make sure to save room for dessert because they have so many sweet treats. We of course had to another pastry and the espresso martini soft serve which was stunning!!! And then the matcha brownie for the show. They validate parking as well so overall such a great experience read more

My husband and I visited Brush Sushi on Friday night. When we arrived, we waited a few minutes to be seated. It seemed like the hostess was also acting as the server, which caused a line at the door. Once seated, it took a while for our waiter to come to us. We were first greeted by the sommelier, Bre, who gave us water and mentioned that if we ordered any wine, she would be serving us. Our waiter finally arrived, and he was a bit disheveled. Maybe he was juggling too many tables, but he seemed scattered and wasn't attentive. We decided to place our order for food and cocktails. I had a lychee martini, and my husband had a Manhattan. Since we arrived during happy hour, we ordered a few bites from that menu to share. We ordered the smashed wagyu brioche, the yellowtail jalapeno and black pepper temaki, and the truffle duck shoyu ramen. While everything tasted good, most of our food arrived lukewarm, as if it had been sitting out for a while. The hottest dish we ate was the ramen. Additionally, we ordered the Hay-smoked miso duck breast and an espresso martini. Overall, it was a decent experience, and the decor is beautiful, but the service, food temperature, and cocktails fell short for us. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and this was such a great spot to celebrate. We parked in the Buckhead Village parking deck and walked over (they validate for 2 hours). Inside, the space is very cozy, quiet, and upscale. The bar and dining room area were absolutely gorgeous and we especially loved their glassware and serving ware. The staff was very attentive as well, coming by often to check on us, clean the table between courses, and replenish water. For drinks, I got the Blooming Bokuso-chi which was very strawberry and floral forward and delicious. My friends got the lychee martini which was definitely strong. We loved all their gin-based drinks. For food, we got edamame, scallion pancake, crispy tofu and a croissant with mapo tofu for starters. The edamame was classic, the scallion pancake was SO delicious and the croissant was delightlfully light and fluffy. The mapo tofu was interesting but very similar to a hummus and great to dip our breads in. The crispy tofu took a while to arrive and honestly wasn't the most flavorful so I'd skip. We also got a few rolls: the yellowtail Jalapeno, aburi spicy tuna, black pepper wagyu, and negitoro ikura. All the rolls were great, but the spicy tuna was the fan favorite, with so much herby flavor and an interesting sauce. The wagyu was juicy and the yellowtail had a good kick. The negitoro had roe on top which was a fun texture but I'd try that as a hand roll instead the next time. It was also super fun to brush soy sauce onto all our rolls! We finished out with the espresso martini soft serve, cinnamon mocha cruffin, and the sizzling matcha for dessert. Everything was SO delicious, and we loved the table side experience of the sizzling matcha. Overall, such a wonderful evening, good options for nonsushi eaters, and great pastries! can't wait to go back! read more

I'm a big Brush Sushi fan as I live nearby and find their food high quality and refreshing. I never leave feeling heavy so always enjoy my meal there. This time I ordered the yellowtail jalapeño and miso eggplant and shrimp dish and Black Forest Mille Feuille. I liked the freshness and spiciness of the yellow tail japaleno but would have preferred the sauce to be less sweet. The eggplant with miso dressing was filling and unique. I liked the combination of shrimp plus vegetables between eggplant, zucchini and mushroom. All the vegetables were well cooked and moist without feeling heavy with oil. And the miso dressing was lovely. The chocolate dessert was soft and perfectly balanced in texture and sweetness. Service was top notch as always. And ambiance was high end read more

Happy hour 5-7pm, they validate 2 hour parking at either South or north garage - don't forget to bring your parking g ticket! The HH menu includes 2 cocktails ($5 off from original price), $6 hand rolls, sake, and 2 ramens. The space is beautiful and so aesthetic and elegant. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some of the items from the HH and regular menu Truffle duck ramen ($20): the noodles were nice and chewy. The broth was very umami and some might say salty but I think it was great with the noodles. You get 3 pieces of duck meat that was super tender and a whole soft boiled egg. The ramen was great Tried all of the hand rolls (shared w my husband lol). I think the standout was the seasonal veggie and shrimp tempura one. The others were just okay. Their cocktails are absolutely amazing and so unique. The Mr miyagi is on the HH menu and was a sesame vodka, wasab, ginger and lime drink that was just so incredibly good. You can smell the sesame before you take a sip. We also ordered 2 other cocktails from their regular menu which were all great. I would come back again for the drinks alone! read more

Went in on a Saturday night and found a few seats at the bar. We were just planning on trying the espresso martini soft serve we had seen online. We ordered two and it took maybe 10-15 minutes before they came out. We were in no rush, the bar was full and there were a decent amount of tables full of other patrons. We got our desserts and they were really good. When we asked the bartender to close out our tab, he told us we did not have one and that the two ice creams were on them. Definitely want to return again to try the food and get another round of ice cream read more

Stumbled upon Brush sushi on accident. I ordered dry aged Otoro nigiri, Bara Chirashi box, Stir fried Mentaiko noodles, and Truffle Duck Shoyu ramen. The highlight of the meal is definitely their dry aged Otoro (14 days), where the pieces are a little firmer than your regular Otoro pieces, but still have the fattiness that melt in your mouth. Bara Chirashi box has fun little cubes of different types of fish and vegetables that taste fresh, in terms of the taste and the freshness of the ingredients. Stir fried Mentaiko noodles tastes quite underwhelming like your normal stir fried noodle, but to me, the scallops save the dish because they go well with thr creaminess of Mentaiko sauce. The most dissappointing dish is the Truffle Duck Shoyu ramen, because while the combination of the ingredients go well together, the broth is too salty for my taste. I expected the broth to be a little bit lighter and more delicate, and not a punch-in-the-face soy sauce broth. Will be a pass from me next visit. Lunch time is probably one of the best time to visit because it's not too crowded, but still is a good enough spot for a group hangout. Our waistress is helpful and knowledgeable in her recommendation for dry aged nigiris, which has became my must-have when I'm here. read more

Brush is located on the corner of Buckhead Village so parking is available in parking deck or limited street. The ambiance is definitely luxury and I greatly enjoyed my time seated at the bar. It was fairly empty when I dined which I feel also allowed more interaction/personable moments that added to the meal. The meal was superb and as always, I will break it down below: 1. Duckfat Scallion Pancakes 10/10: so crispy, thin, and a nice saltiness from the duck fat that is rich but not overpowering 2. Tuna Tasting 10/10: I didn't actually eat this, my guest did, but the fish looked amazing. I loved how the server was able to explain each fish, origin, and expected experience. 3. Waygu Fried Rice + Ikura: 9/10: great cook on the rice, not a huge amount of Waygu pieces, but I loved that salty pop of the Ikura with the rice. It was a pleasant addition that made the rice even better 4. Yellowtail Jalapeño 9/10: THAT SAUCE! Omg...I could lather that on everything. No notes. Super fresh, sauce was a super nice blend of vinegar and chili notes. 5. 12pc Nigiri Tasting 10/10: I definitely had a couple favorites, but again, the servers knowledge of each piece, where the fish origins from, and explanation of the chef's choices made it even more enjoyable! Now on to drinks: 1. Mr. Miyagi 7/10: the lower rating is not because of the quality or the drink itself, just not my preference. It leaned a bit more savory with the wasabi notes which confused my palette but I could absolutely see why this is a best seller because of how unique and refreshing this cocktail is despite the unconventional flavors, 2. Strawberry Velvet 9/10: that vanilla cognac foam was a true surprise! The actual cocktail lends a bit sweeter, but that darker & deeper notes of the foam almost cut that more concentrated strawberry note. I also loved the amount of bubble in the foam. 3 Li-Ly Martni 10/10: I mean...absolutely divine. No notes. For dessert, I can't recall the name but it was just okay, 3/10. Definitely not my favorite. The "stewed apples" were very light, more citrusy than the spice I was expecting. It in general didn't have much flavor at all. Also, fun add...whoever is in charge of choosing the glassware, silverware, and dishwater is doing amazing. These were some of the most unique, elegant, and gorgeous pieces across the full meal. Brush, I can't wait to visit again & hopefully snag an Omakase experience. read more

My husband and I stopped in for lunch and were seated right away. We both chose the lunch pre-fix menu, which includes three courses: an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $45 per person. We started with the Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashimi appetizer which was good, but didn't quite stand out. For the main course we had the Bara Chirashi Box. While the small cubes of fish were a bit tricky to pick up, the flavors blended beautifully. The combination of fresh fish, sweet tamago, salty roe, and umami-rich bits of shiitake mushroom created a wonderful balance. It was delicious. We finished up with the Seasonal Croissant Cube for dessert which was perfectly flaky on the outside with a soft, airy interior and a creamy filling topped with a glossy chocolate dip and crispy chocolate rice pearls. It was absolutely delightful. All in all, from the food to the friendly service and inviting ambiance, everything made our lunch a real treat. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Brush Sushi is an elevated restaurant perfect for date night or girls night. The restaurant has a coat check and provided us with storage for purses which was a nice touch. It's called Brush Sushi because they actually give you little brushes to paint soy sauce onto your sushi. As someone easing into sushi, I went during happy hour for their $6 hand rolls. I tried the salmon, spicy tuna, and wagyu. My favorite was definitely the spicy tuna -- super flavorful. The wagyu wasn't worth it to me since there was barely any meat inside and I could hardly taste it. The yellowtail with jalapeño (not part of the happy hour menu) was soft, buttery, and perfectly paired with its sauce. Everyone working there was friendly and welcoming. I would come back, definitely worth it during happy hour! read more

Brush Sushi - Top: Yellowtail Jalapeno Maki Bottom (left to right): Salmon Handroll, Spicy Tuna Handroll, Wagyu Handroll - Japanese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've had some good sushi in Atlanta, but this may have been my favorite place yet. I came in at 10:15 just looking for a quick meal. I sat at the bar and Stephanie was my bartender. She made great recommendations, 2 of which I ordered. She also informed me about their omakase and filled me in on some cooking techniques they used. I was very pleased. The sashimi was fresh and the soy sauce is made in house. I loved everything down to the bowls and plates that were imported from Japan. It was clean and they had a nice playlist going.

While dinner here is obviously amazing, happy hour and brunch are both really special. Happy hour drinks are absolutely delightful, especially the Mr Miagi. I thought I didn't like sesame until I had this drink and it completely changed my mind. The hand rolls are delicious and fresh and such a good deal at happy hour. The brunch menu really spotlights the skills of the pastry chef. Don't sleep on the desserts and breads here. The croissant service is a must because the croissants here are perfect, and the snow crab/marscapone dip completes it. The croissant burger is also one of the best burgers I've ever had. You can still get sushi at brunch too! The yellowtail has a crunchy leek on top and is served with a yuzu aioli that is delicious. They also serve coffees and teas for brunch and have an espresso martini tasting. read more

Honestly I would give BRUSH a one star if it wasn't for the decent service and nice server. Was out on the town for a special sushi fest with two friends, and couldn't have been more disappointed with Brush. From the moment we walked in it just didn't feel like a sushi restaurant. More like a bougie upscale restaurant trying to be something it's not. That aside, let's talk about why people go to sushi restaurants........ TO HAVE GREAT SUSHI. And for a very expensive spot like this, you 100% expect perfection. It was far far from what we expected. Way overpriced, tiny and quite honestly very poor quality fish for the most part. Also way too saucy for a legit sushi restaurant. And let's talk about the "brush" aspect of the dinner. So apparently some genius came up with the clever idea to call the restaurant "brush" because instead of a small soy dish to dip your fish in, you get a tiny cup and a tiny brush to coat your fish with. Absolutely ridiculous idea. Not only is it a lame way to put a dab of soy on your sushi, it also contaminates every single piece of fish you touch with the last fish you brushed. As well as your table mates. Hard pass for all of us on this place. Sorry to be so harsh. This was a "one and done" experience. read more

I returned to Brush Sushi with some friends for dinner. It's located at the corner of the Buckhead Shops and the across from Shake Shack. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and we ordered the Mr. Miyagi cocktail. The server offers a warm towel to clean your hands in the wintertime too. Out cocktail was perfectly spicy and went well with Negitori Ikura box. The restaurant is small and intimate, with a tasting room and a private party room too. We will return again next month. read more

Brush Sushi - The Negotori Ikura Box - Japanese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

So what do you do when Atlanta gets multiple snow days and snow weekends. I landed up at brush sushi as they were open on a icy cold winter evening. We were pleasantly surprised that they had a happy hour and we tried a bunch of their hand rolls and their ramen. Everything was amazing and The vibes are fantastic. Our favorite hand rolls were you, spicy tuna, tuna with avocado. The chicken ramen is also excellent and I'm definitely coming back to try the duck one next time. Don't miss out on the cocktails they are very well balanced speakeasy style and stiff in the liquor content. One star less just because I thought the hand rolls had a higher rice to fish ratio which meant there wasn't just enough fish. Would be interesting to see if their regular menu is better balanced. read more

We came here to celebrate my daughter's birthday with brunch. The place is small but nicely decorated and the seats aren't too close together. Service was very good and the chilled towel on a hot day was much appreciated. We got the duck pancakes, shrimp and grits and the salmon croissant. All were delicious and perfectly prepared. The reason for my 4 star review is that nothing comes with the brunch dishes and for the price I think a little side of some sort would be appropriate. We also ordered the pastry basket, it was terrific but word of caution, it's really mostly sweets and would make a great shareable dessert. We were all expecting more non-sweet pastries so were a little surprised at the selection. Delicious though they were! Loved it and can't wait to try lunch. read more

Stopped in for lunch at Brush Sushi and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. Madai (2 pieces) - 10/10 I'm a big fan of white fish, and this was exceptional. Beautifully cut, clean flavor, and perfect texture. I'm already planning to come back just to explore more of the Daily Fish menu. Spicy Tuna Tartare - 9/10 Delicious and thoughtfully composed. The root chips were a smart textural choice, and the light horseradish dressing added a fresh, bright contrast without overpowering the fish. Spicy Miso Chicken Ramen - 8/10 Very flavorful with noodles cooked to that ideal chewy/al dente bite. I personally prefer a bit more heat, but the spice level will appeal to most people. The chicken breast was cooked surprisingly well--tender and not dry at all. Soft Serve Tried the matcha swirl with hokkamilk soft serve. Simple, refreshing, and a great finish to the meal. Overall, Brush Sushi's pre-fix lunch menu has me excited to return for dinner. I want to dive deeper into the Daily Fish selections and try some of their sushi rolls next time. A strong Buckhead spot worth revisiting. Solid service as well. read more

I'm not even sure where to start. This place is terrible. I'm honestly not sure how they are still open for business. Waited one hour thirty minutes for raw temaki. Steak and rice was served cold(came out thirty minutes before the raw temaki). Miso and edamame also cold. Service extremely sub par( you'd get better service at chic fil a). Would give this place 0 stars if I could. Definitely would not recommend and will not be coming back. read more

I am SO happy I gave Brush Sushi another chance -- what a complete 180! This experience was a home run across the board... Highlights: * Service: Everything was prompt and seamless. Our waitress was super attentive, and the manager even stopped by to check in and make sure this visit was better than the last -- a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed * Ambiance: The restaurant is filled with natural light, creating a bright and beautiful atmosphere. * Yellowtail Jalapeño Starter: Hands down the best yellowtail I've ever had. The presentation was stunning, the fish quality was next level, and the umami-rich chili ponzu sauce deserves to be bottled and sold. * Happy Hour: It's hard to beat $6 hand rolls. Our favorites were the Wagyu, spicy tuna with avocado, shrimp tempura, and the duck -- all excellent. Thrilled I gave this place another shot. Can't wait to come back! read more

Was feeling hungry and decided to finally try Brush in their new location. The décor is beautifully done and very inviting. Sat at the bar and ordered a few hand rolls (Yellowtail Scallion + Cucumber and Avocado, Spicy Tuna + Cucumber and Avocado, Aburi American Wagyu) to eat. Everything was fresh and delicious! For drinks I started with the Yuzu Shuwah sparkling sake and then moved on to the Mr. Miyagi. Both were good, but the Mr. Miyagi was a very tasty combination of Sesame Vodka, ginger, wasabi, and lime. Tiffany also provided stellar service so all in all, it was a great experience and I will be back to try some other menu items. read more

Super cute ambiance with aesthetic food. We came for brunch and I thought the menu was interesting. Not your usual brunch menu but the vibe and the aesthetic was nice. If you're into sushi or just Japanese cuisine in general you'll find something you like. For one, our waitress (wish I could remember her name!) was super knowledgeable of the entire menu. I find that commendable because I was able to ask for opinions and advice and she was able to give them to me. I opted to order the Uni Snow Crab Ikura Croissiant. Our waitress prefaced by saying the uni was an acquired taste so I got it on the side cause I was scared but I liked it! She described it as ocean-y which was very accurate. The croissant was decent. A bit awkward to eat but it was alright. I will say, the portion sizes are small for the price, in my opinion. This is definitely a cute brunch--not a brunch you come to starving. My presentation was nice but my friend order the miso duck croffle and it literally just looked like a waffle and a side of slice duck. Her duck came cold, like deli cold, but the kitchen was quick to fix that. We split the scallion pancakes which was DELICIOUS. Honestly could see myself coming back and getting just the scallion pancakes, some eggs, and maybe a roll on the side. The matcha brownie was a bit underwhelming so I would skip that. Overall, I think this is a decent restaurant. Definitely think it's a nice place to go to treat someone to something different and like I said, service was amazing! I think I'd like to come back to try the Michelin rate omakase or at the very least come by for happy hour. 3.5 stars but rounding up because amazing service! read more

Tuna Cutting & Tasting - not your usual omakase and well worth the wait for reservations and experience. First off - you are presented with the Tuna in its entirety. Not cut. You watch AND participate in the cutting. You see all the presentation of the select pieces paraded in front of you and watch the chef and the expert team prepare each course. There are 9 courses and some repeat with each visit while others are new. Some of the more unique dishes are the dry-aged toro, direct charcoal seared toro, tuna marrow shooters. I would have had seconds of the marrow if offered! Unexpected items not usual seen at omakase and prepared so much better than normal are a tuna katsu sando and tuna cheek mazemen. I love any kind of katsu sando but this was unexpected and next level fresh and delicious. And who doesn't love mazemen noodles prepared with fresh tuna cheek. I cannot say enough about all the dishes and want to give Chef Liang a huge shout out for his amazing prep and flavors. His team also deserve a huge shoutout for all they do in the prep, presentation, and providing so many photo ops. Last but not least, the staff and ambiance of the room was just superb. They couldn't be more attentive. I flew from Los Angeles to Atlanta just to experience this Tuna Cutting and Tasting and it was worth the trip! I know other cities, including Los Angeles, are catching onto this experience but Brush Sushi in Atlanta has perfected it. Finally when you leave, they give you a party bag with the menu, special tea blend, and the most delicious chocolate chip cookies. Wow! read more

With an unassuming sign and subtle entrance this place is easy to miss. But you love sushi, you shouldn't. Fresh is an understatement to describe the quality of ingredients used. I had a poke over rice dish for lunch which was outstanding. It had tuna salmon, and white fish with avocado. The portion size was just right for me. I've also had the Bara Chirashi Box, which is similar is style, but double the size with multiple kinds of sushi grade fish, mushrooms, other chef selected seafood, and veggies. It was a beautiful dish. Why the name Brush? Well, they allow you to adorn your selection with house made soy sauce using an Endo Shoji brush. Lovely. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. I went on a Thursday for a date night and everything was amazing from the staff at the front to the last bite on our plates. I started with the Li-ly Martini, which is their floral take on a lychee martini and was super delicious and hit the spot. We had one of the boxes for our starter (the raw one). It was super delicious and an unexpected way. For the entrées, I had the Wagyu steak and my partner had the Wagyu steak fried rice, both super delicious and flavorful. We literally cleaned our plates. While we didn't get dessert, they had quite an extensive dessert menu in an array of teas to choose from if you like to have tea after dinner. 10 out of 10 highly recommend and did I mention the decor is beautiful. read more

A rainy day, a big window, a fresh fish. It's these patterns and moments that pass by, usually with minimal human regard for their precious beauty. This atmosphere was effervescent during a Wednesday night visit to Brush Sushi. One might find themselves stumbling into the space formerly occupied by American Cut to discover a rebirth into something very beautiful, authentic and special. Ran by Chef Jason Liang, a man whose name has become associated with several establishments in the city like Mononoki and Cuttlefish, Brush sushi has an unmistakable level of focus on freshness and quality. Experiences like the tuna tasting are fun, followed by a speciality of smoked fish, chased with sake and finishing with the matcha brownie. These is a sense of flow, calmness and presence to Brush. The design could be mistaken for a lobby of a luxury hotel in Singapore, protruding elegance. One thing that's a bit extreme is the up-charge of sake bottles relative to retail, with many being placed at a x3 to x4 multiple, which is certainly higher than most restaurants in the city. But, most bitterness go out the window quickly once the guest sees the breathtaking glassware in which it's served. Brush manages to top expectations in other ways as well. There is jazz, there is perfection in service and a set of unusual fish that can difficult to get in Atlanta. Brush is an undeniably sensory experience. read more

A girl friend I have not seen for a while decided to ask me to lunch and she picked Brush Sushi. Everything about this restaurant brought sushi to a whole new level of dining. The inside was carefully planned for maximum privacy and maximum number of diners. The wait staff wasn't rushed and we weren't either. In fact, it appeared that one gentleman took care of the entire restaurant quite efficiently as well. We ordered their duck fat scallion pancakes which were superb as well as two rolls. One roll was the yellowtail jalapeno sashimi and the other was the chili avocado roll. Both were beyond delicious, For our entree's we ordered the Wagyu steak with rice and a salad and the other entree was the miso duck breast. The duck breast was sliced and cooked to perfection. There was a poached egg, on the side of the bowl . All of this over rice. They served us their soy sauce in a small bowl with brushes to apply the sauce. Extra plates were supplied and their chop sticks were pointed at both ends. Parking is underground or by valet and efficiently run. This was a real eye opener and the level of mastery was something missing in the Atlanta food scene. They achieved a coveted Michelin Star recently and it was a no shock to see their sign prominently displayed. Kudos are well earned. read more

Tasting menu for valentines way over priced and not terribly special. Wanted to love it but...enjoyed the regular menu on other occasions.

Kind of a weird experience. We went in not knowing that the Michelin star was just awarded for the omakase portion of the restaurant, so our expectations may have been off. We came in for our brunch reservation right at opening (11am) and were greeted at the host stand by a used mop. Not a metaphor - just a mop leaning against the wall and no host/hostess. It took about 5 minutes for the hostess to notice that there were people in the place (we were the only table there the whole time we ate). She ran up to the desk and asked us if it was already 11...stowed the mop and said she was embarrassed. Not a huge deal, but remember, we thought this was supposed to be a Michelin star establishment. Ordered a couple of pieces of aged nigiri, the duck croffle (croissant crisped up with brown sugar in a waffle iron), and the uni & snow crab croissant. Nigiri was top notch. Croffle was a neat idea, but ate very sweet which didn't work too well with the nicely cooked duck. Crab croissant tasted very fishy - the uni took over everything and you could barely identify the delicate crab. We'll come back for the omakase at some point. Probably our last brunch there though. read more

What an amazing place. The food was incredible, but what takes a dining experience to the next level, is great staff. I was greeted by Mona on a late Sunday evening, when apparently most of Buckhead is closed. Fortunately two walking-distance restaurants from my hotel both closed earlier and I ended up at Brush. Turns out, Mona is also the bartender. I started with an Umami, which was great. While enjoying the Umami cocktail and my Yellowtail Jalapeno appetizer, I realized from both the menu, and the bottles behind the bar, that they seemed to have the ingredients for my favorite drink, the Singapore Sling. I asked Mona if she could make it, and rather than the typical dismissive we're missing this or that, or no we can't do that, she was like I haven't had someone request that in a few years but I'd love to give it a try. It turned out to be amazing. Similarly, the 15-piece Sashimi Chef Choice was also amazing. This was truly a great and memorable dinner. Mona was wonderful to talk to, the custom cocktails were perfect, the food was wonderful. I'm not sure if the work schedule will permit, but I'm hoping to do the Chef's Omakase dinner on Thursday. read more

This is for UberEats only. Ordered a few savories and sweets when brunch plans got canceled. Hunger ruled. Food...ok I guess...but definitely do not think it is worth the price, at least as far as delivery. The shrimp omelet croissant and the blue fin tuna katsu sando are just ok. Nothing special, and definitely should not be priced so high...very similar to street food egg sandwiches in Asia. Not sure why it is so expensive. Did not taste any better than the cheap sandwiches in Asia. Also, egg was overcooked like the street sandwiches, not creamy soft eggs. Confused as to why these are priced at $30 and $35 each. Maybe eating there is better...little miso soup is good, edamame is fine. But overall...the sandwiches are Not worth it. Sorry but to charge these prices for this quality of food...well...I.M the sucker...I blame hunger. read more
