I highly recommend Bully Boy--it's a fantastic restaurant, once you're able to find it! Just a heads-up: the entrance is a little hidden. As you drive through the shared lot (with several businesses), look to the left near the valet for Two Urban Licks. The sign is only visible as you exit the lot, so it's easy to miss. Also, parking isn't free--you'll need to scan a QR code or text to pay. We made online reservations to celebrate my husband's birthday and were glad we did. Our server, Robert, was fantastic--attentive without being overbearing. He made great recommendations and was happy to move us from a small table to a more comfortable booth when we asked. They offer a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, but we opted for "Mocktail #2," which was pink, fruity, and refreshing with watermelon, mint, and lime soda. We started with the Chargrilled Louisiana Oysters, which were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious--honestly, the best I've ever had. The Volcano Roll was also great--generous in size and perfect for sharing. It's listed as having "spicy crab," but I didn't find it spicy at all (a plus for me!). If you want more heat, wasabi is served on the side. For entrees, I had the Salmon Teriyaki and my husband had the Braised Beef. My salmon was perfectly cooked and came with fluffy white rice and mixed vegetables. But he definitely won the entree round--his beef was tender, flavorful, and served with what tasted like sweet mashed potatoes (the menu said red potatoes). The glazed carrots were slightly firm but still tasty. To top it all off, we were served a mini chocolate cake with whipped vanilla icing--soft, rich, and perfect for sharing. The inside isn't the largest resource been to, but has plenty of seating. The atmosphere is relaxed and we saw people dressed up and down. Overall, we had a great experience. Bully Boy is a gem, and I hope you're lucky enough to have Robert as your server! read more

Sad to see this restaurant permanently closed. The sushi and sushi making class were both great. Not sure if they have fortune plans for another location. Those that had an opportunity to experience dining at this establishment appreciate what was and will miss it tremendously. read more

Bully Boy is an incredible addition to the O4W neighborhood tucked behind Two Urban Licks. My friend and I had dinner at the bar & were pleasantly surprised with diverse menu, there's something for everyone. The service was great, we made fun small talk with the bartender and kept order more plates throughout the night. I was impressed with their fresh sushi options! Also the ambiance is simply cool. Surrounded with windows & greenery. It's a vibe & must see if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Bully Boy - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Took myself on a solo date to decompress from the work day. I decided to go to Bully Boy because I was craving some sushi and wanted something new. I made a reservation but ended up sitting at the bar upon my arrival. The music inside was a vibe and when I arrived it was busy but not packed. The bartender for the night was amazing and super helpful. Everything across the board was really good. I would order the duck spring rolls and chargrilled oysters again for sure. The highlight of my night was the Godzilla roll! I was stuck between ordering the Godzilla or the Spicy Yellowtail rolls. With the bartenders help I decided on the Godzilla and she did not steer me wrong! It was exactly what I needed. I'll be back to order the Yellowtail and try it out. read more

Highly recommend sharing plates with friends! The food here is excellent and the mezcal drink is superb. My faves were the brussel sprouts, the cocktail, and the assortment of sushi we tried. The volcano and yellowtail roll were top but honestly the firecracker and dragon were close 2nd. You can't go wrong with any. We also tried the beef gyoza and rock shrimp tempura. Those two were okay but more like standard not super notable. The service was quite fast and the ambience is nice. Very earthy feel, the music is the perfect volume & they had a great Playlist. PS the front door is facing the two urban locks valet, it's red. read more

Came in here last Friday for dinner. We made a reservation for 6pm. It wasn't too crowded when we got there, but it started filling up as the night went on. The inside of this restaurant is gorgeous! So many windows and lots of natural light. A great date night spot! I loved the tapas style menu they have. We go the duck spring rolls, the King Kong roll and the chicken fried rice. Everything was so good! read more

This is an Atlanta hidden gem (literally). Located behind the belt line and Two Urban Licks, this industrial and cozy design Asian restaurant is a must try. Perfect for date nights or smaller groups, they crank out Japanese inflicted dishes tapas style. They have this amazing cocktail (Nigori Spritz) that I'd happily go back for. My favorite dishes of the night were the mussels, oysters from Virginia and their spicy yellowtail roll. Service was fantastic and everything that we ordered came out perfectly. We even got a cake to celebrate our engagement!! Please give this a shot and keep Bully Boy alive!! Parking: they have valet, but we didn't know where to pull up, so we parked at self parking and walked over. It was $4 for three hours and you pay via app or scanning the QT code provided. read more

I heard about this place through unintentional eavesdropping in on conversations that were being had in the Buckhead Business District. I should have know from that alone that it would be a three star experience. Let's start with the positives. This place is located a stones throw from the East Atlanta Beltline in what used to be a storage shed for the half dozen manufacturing operations that once existed in this part of town. The space is beautifully thought out and composed - serious kudos to their interior designer. The cocktail menu was carefully crafted yet simple. They did highlight subtle, Asian influenced flavors in their drinks and I give them credit for that. Food wise, I'd inhale four or five of their SPAM musubis if given a private room away from the what would be the horrified looks of fellow diners. As a certified SPAM slut I was impressed with what they did with the ingredient. The yellowfish roll was also fresh and perfectly seasoned. Now for the negatives. To me, it seemed like the only "fusion" that was occurring here is placing Whole Foods radish microgreens on every plate of Japanese food that comes out of the kitchen. I'm serious - look at the photos. It reached comical levels of biophilic absurdity - almost to the point where I had to stop and reflect deeply on all the poor vegetables that could have been. The tuna roll annihilated my palate with a level of saltiness that's akin to dropping a thermobaric bomb filled with the stuff directly on my tongue. I feel like I was forcefully transported back in time to the days of eating canned tuna in a middle school cafeteria lunchroom. Although back then, I didn't have to fork over $18. A real miss. If I come back, I'm sticking to the SPAM and those Rum #2s! read more

Nobody would have to bully this boy to come back here. We had a great experience here on a Friday night. After we got stuck in a little traffic, we called the restaurant to let them know we were running late for our reservation and they were more than happy to hold it for us. We're so glad they did! Service was prompt and great. We ordered three appetizers and all was just fantastic. Wings were thoroughly seasoned and the sauce to accompany was sweet and delicious. The sprouts (which I feel are served at every millennial-friendly restaurant these days) were perfect. The oysters were great and served wirh two mignonettes (garlic and pomegranate) and they went down easy. Get the spicy tuna avocado bomb. It's exactly what you expect and despite my deftness with chopsticks, I recommend getting at it with a fork and knife. Sashimi was fresh and cut thick to get our money's worth. The dragon roll used real crab which was a nice touch. Drink selection was great with an impressive wine list (much like sister restaurant two urban licks). This restaurant is styled in a very industrial manner without feeling cold. Love a big, open kitchen and the whole place smells like good food being prepared. Love paying my check by phone especially when pricing is fair. No doubt this is a pricier spot but I feel like we got a lot for the money. This place is a winner - 5/5 we'll be back. read more

Bully Boy - Brussels, yuzu wings, and blackberry point oysters on deck - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Bully Boy is a trendy Japanese-fusion concept offering a plethora of shareable plates. We had an enjoyable experience and ordered 13 dishes for a party of three. First, let me say their service was superb. We were very well taken care of, and they even offered us complementary dessert. Quality-wise it was a mixed bag; here are all the dishes we ate, in order of preference: * Charbroiled Naked Jade Oysters (A+): Exceptional. The yuzu siracha butter and avocado emulsion make all the difference * Hamachi Crudo (A): A real highlight. Refreshing! And the watermelon radish and grapefruit are a nice touch! * Bacon Belly Bites (A): Excellent. Extremely flavorful * Calamari Fries (A-): Innovative! * Corn Tempura Fritters (B+): Very good * Beef Gyoza (B+): Very creative. Covered in edamame, bell peppers, and chili sauce * Godzilla Roll (B): Nice but not special. Spicy Salmon, Cucumber, Salmon Aburi, Lemon, Spicy Mayo, Eel Sauce, and Cilantro * Kalbi Ribs (B): Solid, but I've had much better * Veggie Spring Rolls (B-): Decent * Tuna Nigiri (B-): Did not meet expectations considering the high price point (18 bucks for 2 pieces) * Mochi Ice Cream (C+): Just OK * Yuzu Pepper Wings (C-): Pedestrian hence disappointing * Duck Spring Roll (D): Very bland Before tipping, we paid $258 for a 3-person meal (12 shareable dishes, 1 complementary dessert, only water, no alcohol). Overall, I'd give Bully Boy a solid B. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta now! I had seen a video of the tuna avocado bomb on tik tok and immediately added this place to my restaurant bucket list. All of the food was so good, the fish was so fresh and the sauces added sweetness and spicyness. Bully boy serves fun dishes that have the ingredients of sushi, but serve it in different forms. So unique. Interior was very nice! Our waitress was great and moved us to the booth right when we asked. Will definitely be coming back here many times. read more

I've visited BB multiple times and it hasn't disappointed me yet. The volcano roll is my absolute favorite, but it is pretty large so bring your appetite if you're going to order that. The service is always great. My one and only issue is that it doesn't have great parking and it shares a valet with two urban licks, so you have to either walk down a car ramp with oncoming traffic or a wheelchair ramp with trees coming at you to get to the restaurant from the valet. read more

Very cute and intimate spot that's perfect for date night! Met a friend here for a quick meet up and we have a great time. We both got the mocktail number 1. It was beautifully presented but a tad sweet so if you order it be prepared for that. To eat I got the king kong roll- Salmon,Yellowtail, Spicy Tuna, Avocado, Eel Sauce, Spicy Mayo- and it was absolutely delicious. I would order this 10000x over. I did have a little trouble finding them but they are located right in front of Two Urban Licks. We did go right at opening so it was pretty empty but the staff was very kind and provided wonderful recommendations which both my friend and I loved! read more

This has quickly become my go-to date night spot. The location couldn't be more convenient--right by the Beltline, which makes the whole experience even better. While the menu isn't huge, every dish they do have is so well thought out and executed that it honestly doesn't need to be. It gives off a bit of a Nobu vibe, but at a more approachable price point, and it's absolutely worth it. Perfect for a night out that feels special without being over the top. Service is great and the servers are attentive! read more

I love the name. A friend wanted to try them because they are affiliated with Two Urban Licks I ordered the whole fish which was covered in peppers and pineapple. I love peppers and pineapple but the fish itself was not seasoned. If it wasn't for the peppers and pineapples. I wouldn't have enjoyed the fish. We also order the salmon. I was disappointed with the flavor or lack there of. It was super hot and flies were everywhere, We also ordered the chicken fried rice, which was ok. The food was hard to enjoy with the flies landing on our food every chance they got plus it not being seasoned. Our waitress was nice. I probably wont return. read more

My sister-in-law came in town, so I booked Bully Boy after hearing great reviews from a friend. I think the location is convenient, they even have valet plus self parking. The ambiance is nice, tables nicely positioned. I enjoyed the space between tables, it wasn't overly crowded. Our service was great. The waiter, I believe his name was Bee, was very knowledgeable of the menu. We tried many things, and loved them all. However, the rock shrimp did not stand out like the others. My absolute favorites were the brussel sprouts and both sushi rolls! Overall, great experience! I would recommend this place for small groups and dates. I would also return. I am interested to experience the menu changes, as I noticed a few photos from previous reviews were not on the menu anymore. read more

Ambience was good, so was the service. Food was overall good, but not for the price in general. I think this would be an absolute 4-star if the price level was just a bit lower. For the same price, I think there are many other strong restaurants in Midtown area. read more

Bully Boy is tucked tightly away next to Two Urban Licks and right by the belt line (Ponce City). We made a reservation randomly and they have plenty of times/reservations to choose from. Service was impeccable from start to finish. Not sure why it's called Bully when the service was nothing but nice folks. But I ain't complaining none. Parking can be iffy, but they do have valet and self parking areas. I chose to do self parking and found it pretty easy to navigate. Food was great, slightly salty in some bites but overall it was enjoyable. Dishes came out in a timely manner and the online menu made it easy to both order and pay at the end. Portions are meant to be shared, and that ain't an understatement. Between my wife and I, we chose different dishes to try and were not disappointed. Vibe is great, very chill or great for a dress up date spot. Plenty of drinks to choose from if that's your poison. Overall, definitely would like to come back and I can easily recommend this spot to others to try. read more

Decided to check this place out while strolling the Beltline. Parking was a challenge but found out later that you could valet there for a couple bucks. Cool ambiance filled w/ greeneries. Service was impeccable but the food was just mediocre imo.. the Brussels sprout was the only dish that stood out for me in terms of flavor. I wouldn't mind coming back to give it another try when I'm in the area tho. read more

This place is hit and miss. We had numerous issues with our food orders. Some items came out timely and were really good (Crispy Brussels, Fried Shrimp apps and sushi). But other items came out super late (chicken skewers app), not at all, lacked flavor and any seasoning (grilled mitake) or were inedibly salty (salmon entree). To top things off, service was poor. Or server rarely checked up on us and told us lies about why we were waiting so long for food items. At first she told us that the chicken skewers app took a long time to prepare, that's why we were still waiting for it 30 mins into our evening. Later, when we inquired again, she stated that the first one was burnt and had to be recooked. An hour later, after entrees were served they magically appeared. At the end of service, our server inquired how was everything despite all the food mishaps. I mentioned that her service was subpar. As empty dishes and glassed piled up and cluttered the table she never offered to remove them. I had to suggest she take them away so we'd have room for the next items. She was also very unattentive. We literally had to yell to get her attention so we could get service throughout the night. She did apologize and stated that this was not her best night and that she was dealing with some personal issues but that was not an excuse. She also suggested we come on a Wednesday or Sunday, we could get better service on those, days, I found that statement quite comical. Overall, I appreciate her owning up to her shortcomings and hope she grows from this experience. We will not be returning. read more

Bully Boy - Crispy Brussels no cashews - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

LOVED my experience at Bully Boy! The service is impeccable and the food is excellent! Our waiter, Robert, was so attentive and kind. He provided the best service I've had in a long time. He went out of his way to care for us and we never had to want for anything. The food is fresh here--you can tell everything is made fresh to order. We started the spring rolls and brussel sprouts. The spring rolls were cooked perfectly and paired with a spicy sweet chili sauce. The brussel sprouts were my favorite--roasted and crispy with a light sauce. For our entrees we had the fried rice and spicy shrimp noodles. Everything was complimented with such bold flavors. We enjoyed every bite! My partner was celebrating a birthday and they brought out cake and a signed card by some of the staff--WOW! Again, I've never had this type of service so I'm grateful for the experience. The restaurant is casual with open windows and seating. They can also accommodate large parties with a reservation. And it's also conveniently located on the belt line. Check this place out! read more

This place is very trendy with really good drinks. This was definitely expensive but to me it was worth it. I got a Vodka #6 but had Gin instead of Vodka. It was sweet and light and refreshing. There was peach and strawberry in it. The tuna tower was delicious, had some spice but great sauce. The King Kong roll was amazing, tasted fresh for sure. The Brussel sprouts were to die for. The right amount of crispy and tasty. Not super sweet so if you like sweet Brussel sprouts don't get this. These were more Smokey/bitter but in a good way. The servers were attentive and the food came out fast. Loved this! Also great location on the belt line. read more

This place is a (somewhat) hidden gem right off the beltline for sushi and awesome small bites! On recommendation of our awesome server, after getting unfiltered (cold) sake which was refreshing but different, we got the duck spring rolls to start. These were perfectly crispy, a great size to share, and had a sweet and savory taste, 9/10. The spicy yellowtail roll with scallops and garlic aioli was amazing.. so clean tasting and flavorful with a little kick, 9/10. We finally got the rainbow roll, which was tasty as well, but pretty much a standard rainbow roll, 7/10. Our server was perfectly attentive and helpful in suggesting great items. The vibes were great, and it was beautiful inside with potted trees and hanging lights! Pro tip- there is free street parking nearby if you can snag it! read more

To start off, the food was amazing and worth the price you pay. I opted for the King Kong Roll and the starter or Beef Gyoza. The taste of the Gyoza's were amazing. Honestly wish I had ordered more. And the King Kong Roll was very tasty and crafted well. The service was great. The staff was very attentive and polite. Also the decor and the space entirely was very intimate. Loved every part of this done in experience. I cannot wait to come back to try some other menu items that peaked my interest. Two things that weren't too great was, the entrance to the restaurant was hard to find. My friends and I went back and forth trying to find the front which looked like an employee back door. And the worst part was the valet service. If I could leave them their own personal review I would. But valet was terrible! read more

Service: no bueno. It wasn't even busy, sat for 20mins the hostess ended up bringing us water and taking our order. Literally 5 tables in the whole restaurant. Food: dozen oysters. I chit you not, the meat was room temperature. That's means they were off ice for a WHILE. I should have left at this point, I should have know the rest of the raw menu was a danger. Sashimi was 3-4cm thick, I sh!t you not. Normally this would be fantastic, but it all smelt very fishy and not sushi's grade. Couldn't eat it. My date even turned up her nose to it. We ordered some rolls to try and get some substance. I should have known I was in for a joke when the I walked in at 7:30 and the restaurant was dead. After a $300 tab for 2 people I'm home and ordering Uber Eats. I've been in Atlanta for 10 years and have been to every sushi place you can name. This was bad. Bad bad. read more

Service was extremely slow all around. The food was decent and so were the drinks. The restaurant vibe was cosy and comfortable.

This was a 5 star meal that deserves to be known! From getting seated to service to food, everything was spectacular. Shout out to our server Beau (or Bo lol) as he was truly the best server! He was very attentive and was super friendly and made us feel welcome since this was our first time dining here. I guess when my husband made reservations, he notated that we're here celebrating my birthday and our server brought us 2 glasses of champagne, YAY! Our server also explained that everything on their menu is meant to be shared. We got 5 dishes - crispy Brussels, grilled mitake, spirited away roll, rainbow roll and miso cod. Everything was so good and on point. The crispy Brussels were fried to perfection and had a crispy exterior, plus loved the addition of green onions for an extra depth of flavor. The grilled mitake could be grilled more but loved the grana padana. The spirited away roll was divine - I loved the topped seared tuna (and it's a pretty hefty serving of seared tuna too). The rainbow roll was also pretty good with different fish toppings. Lastly, the miso cod was fork tender and tasty but best eaten with the side of pickled veggies it's served with. Honestly, I was super impressed with everything about this place. We hope to dine here again soon! read more

I tried this place out with a friend because someone suggested it to me. Although it's in a high traffic area, it is confusing to locate as it's in the center of 2 Urban Licks parking lot.

My fiancé ordered two sushi rolls. ALL of the food was tasty and fresh. My chicken was cooked to perfection. I would recommend the sushi is rolled tighter or spray the plate so the roll doesn't stick. Half of the rolls fell apart due to extreme stickiness with the plate and rice. The mimosas were a half glass full for $10. This is overpriced even for the area. Overall, we will be back. read more
