    Food was great. Better than other normal sushi places for sure. Their roll portion is rather smaller so expect to order at least two rolls per adult. Their unagi don was amazing, which I don't have a picture of but definitely will come back again just for it. Reason for 4 star is because their miso soup tasted really bad. Don't know how to describe it but it is very bad... it's hard to get bad miso from sushi places so I was surprised haha..

    I have gone to Circle Sushi since they opened over 20 years ago. I have never had a meal there that was anything less than wonderful. The fish is always perfectly fresh and well prepared. Highly recommended!

    Crazy Spicy Tuna Roll was so yummy 10/10 salmon nigiri was 10/10  Salmon creamcheese avocado 10/10

    Fish was super fresh and delicious in the chirashi. However, portions were small. And this place had one of the worst miso soups I've ever had before. It just tasted like bland hot water. Also you only get soup or salad here instead of both. I saw mediocre other reviews for both the soup and salad so take your pick I guess. The chirashi I found very authentic. Rolls were good but small. Service was alright. Seats were packed kind of close together like I could hear neighbor's conversation like they are talking to me. Not sure I'd recommend it for a date night. I do think there are things on this menu that are authentic and delicious. The fish was good quality. There are just sushi places I like better for either the value or ambiance. There are places with better sushi or a better value. So I'd say I overall enjoyed this place and I'd return if in the area. Otherwise, I'd probably stick to other places. Would recommend if you are looking for authenticity in the area.

    My new favorite Japanese restaurant in the area! Great roomy interior, excellent service, reasonable prices, and very fresh and delicious fish sourced straight from Tokyo. We walked in around 5:45pm on a Thursday evening and were the first ones there. When we left, there were still tables open. I would definitely order the omakase sushi ($36) set again which had 5pc nigiri + 6pc roll with fatty tuna belly and tuna. The hamachi, tuna, and otoro was amazing. I was eyeing the omakase nigiri set which is $30-$40 for 5pc and ~$50 for 8pc with more elevated nigiri, but the omakase sushi option was a fantastic and delicious set. I wish the shrimp tempura was crispier, but it was still great. The dream roll was yummy because their tuna is 10/10 but I do want to try their other rolls next time. I will definitely be back!

    Fish quality is so good! It's getting busier lately which I really good for business. The rice here is perfect. Environment is nice, feels like a nice place you can catch up with friends.

    Found thanks to Yelp! Met my daughter for Sushi night we asked the server for recommendations and he was very helpful. We enjoyed every bite. The ginger salad was good, water glass stayed full, the sushi was bite size and fresh. We enjoyed it. When we got check we asked what the person next to us was having and the server said it was $65 pile of fish, locals get it. He mentioned the name but we will have to try next time, It looked awesome. But we were pleased we didn't spend $65, we for our sushi fix and walked out happy! if we are in the area, we will "circle" back!

    This Japanese restaurant is truly a hidden gem of Atlanta! It's hard to find Japanese food let along Japanese food with great value, but I think this might be the one. We ordered the Chirashi Don, and they definitely did not shy away from giving generous portion of sashimi. We also got a separate order of sashimi, which all pieces tasting fresh and delicious. The soft shell crab was quite different from what I would expect. They deep fried the crab first, then placed it in a thickened soup; surprisingly the crab was still crispy yet balanced well with the soup "sauce". I would definitely revisit this spot whenever I crave Japanese food!

    LOVE THIS SPOT! The sushi here is always fresh. The service is top notch. Fast, efficient, and they are so informative about what to order. It is a small shop and they are always busy. Seems kind of like a small mom and pop shop. The sashimi slices are thick and fresh. The rolls we ordered were also great and flavorful. The seared taste on the scallop was amazing! The rolls here are on the smaller side thought but packed with flavor. There is plenty of parking located here as it is in the same plaza as a Publix. Overall, I would recommend and this place is so worth the drive for me.

We ordered: Exceptional (A+): Tuna Crisps Excellent/Very Good (A/A-): A5 Wagyu Sando, The Monroe Tuna (crispy rice), Burlesque Roll, Bluefin Maguro (nigiri), Seared Scallops Good (B+/B): Pork Ramen OK (B-/C+/C): Yuzu Cheesecake, Orange is the New Black (salmon) So most dishes we sampled were excellent. Their tuna crisps are to die for. But their acclaimed and award-winning pork ramen was merely decent. Before tipping, we paid $215 for a two-person meal (no alcohol, only water, 8 small dishes, and 1 dessert). If they had charged us at least 20% less, this would have been a 5-star meal.

I had the Casanova roll, the Linguinstuno roll, and the miso steak, and every single dish was flavorful and well-executed. I also tried the sea bass, and it was hands down one of the best things I tasted that night. Overall, if you're looking for a nice, upscale dining experience with great service, amazing food, and top-tier drinks, 8 Sushi is definitely the place to go.

Definitely a winner, salmon was very fresh and serving was very big. Also got an ochazuke which was refreshing and flavorful! Tasted kinda like a more savory genmaicha with salmon inside. I already come here pretty often and will definitely be adding the salmon bowl into my rotation. I think it's better than the one at shoya, and with a much better wait.

    This place delivers with good sushi and sashimi!…read more We decided to check this place out this weekend based on the reviews and proximity to everyone. If you are close to Buford Hwy you should try this place. They have parking for a few cars right in front, a smallish restaurant inside with a full sushi bar. Their menu is pretty comprehensive and includes fried rice, noodles, sushi rolls, sashimi, soups etc. As we were a large group we ordered a bunch of things. Most of the entrees are served with a salad and soup making it quite the meal. We ordered the sashimi appetizer, the pork gyoza, shrimp shumai, omelette, combination fried rice, B-52 roll, sunrise roll, crunchy roll I think. Sashimi was fresh - yellowtail, tuna, salmon. The gyoza was delicious and table favorite Honestly, I even enjoyed the pork belly omelette. So flavorful... The fried rice was cooked well but was missing some seasoning/salt. Otherwise good. The rolls were great and we selected ones that had some spice. My favorite was the sunrise roll - a little crunchy inside yet with a slight kick. The staff felt a little overwhelmed with our group but they were polite and helpful. Food was prices reasonably and worth it (for the portion sizes).

That said, locals recommended it, and I usually love sushi as a post-flight meal since it's light and fresh. The ambiance is dreamy, and I really appreciated the attentive service and bar seating. I ordered an avocado ball with caviar and spicy tuna, which was lovely and beautifully plated. I'd also seen a foodie Instagrammer mention their off-menu crispy rice rolls, so I gave those a try. Unfortunately, they fell a bit flat for me. I ended up adding a lot of soy sauce since they sincerely lacked flavor. When the bill came, I realized this probably wasn't the best choice for a quick, light meal. The prices were comparable to California, but the quality didn't quite match. That said, the person sitting next to me mentioned she visits often and felt that the night was a bit off, so I'd be open to giving it another try next time I'm in town.

One of the highlights was the Kimi Oboro, prepared using a 200-year-old vinegar technique -- simply remarkable. My sister loved every dish, even falling in love with the pickled ginger! The service was outstanding as well -- two servers took care of us throughout the evening, always greeting us with genuine smiles and impeccable manners. This was probably the best omakase experience I've ever had -- and I've had over a hundred. I'm so glad my sister's first omakase turned into an unforgettable memory.

    Service? Excellent. Ambiance? Relaxed and enjoyable. Food? Oh...MAN. Wow…read more.. I came here about 8 years ago with the same family members +1 family friend and we enjoyed dinner then, but it truly didn't compare to this visit. Previously, I had Kang Nam slated as an overpriced, but decent sushi place that serves meals on a more robust scale if you're dining with a party. However, the sushi back then was somewhat underwhelming. Last night, we had a phenomenal set. Hamachi, Otoro, Unagi, Ebi, and more! Every piece was delicately balanced and beautifully arranged. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting too much going in- and I'd only chosen Kang Nam as a place where I could get some decent sushi while my family got something else entirely. My mom had Don Katsu (served with a small dish of Japanese style curry sauce). My uncle got the Tempura Udon, of which they served the tempura shrimp on the side in a bed of tempura flakes. This is kind of genius, because you can make the decision on when you want to dip in your tempura instead of them bringing it and you have to down the tempura fast in order to still have it be crunchy... NOT HERE! It stays crunchy since they serve it separately. Love that. We had refillable banchan: kimchi, king oyster mushrooms, and glass noodles- all of which were delicious. We all received bowls of deliciously simple miso soup and we ordered a set of fried dumplings. Everything was great! That is...until the sushi came out. Wow. Presentation: 10/10. Flavor? 10/10. Portion-size: TEN OUT OF TEN, Y'ALL. The sushi rice was fantastic and they didn't use too much like a lot of places do with their nigiri. The toppings were functionally decorative. The sweet shrimp was especially pretty with two different colors of roe on top. The yellowtail didn't need the toppings it had- green onion and fish/squid flakes(?)- in my opinion, but they added a dimension of texture to the initial bite and a hint of flavor to the finish. The fish was perfect in every way: not too thick, no too thin, overlapping the rice by double to allow for perfect soy sauce dips without soaking the rice, and I just CAN NOT EXPLAIN how good each piece was... The sushi rolls were so delicious and every bite had wonderful textures and flavors, but my absolute favorite roll was the one with the smoked tuna on top- WOW! Absolutely stunned. Never - EVER - have I actually tasted the smoke flavor so clearly and completely. I am a HUGE fan of that one and I can't even remember the name of it...it's in the picture on the plate behind the sweet shrimp. The eel nigiri was also a highlight for me- as it's one of my favorite pieces of sushi, I always order several pieces. I was happily surprised to see they were nearly twice the size I get at other restaurants. Hands-down, the best otoro (fatty tuna) I've had in Atlanta. The sushi chef here also believes in giving special service by preparing some extra pieces for the customers as well. I only ordered one set of otoro, but next time....oh my...my bill is gonna hurt next time. Each 2-piece set of otoro is set at $17, so...yeah... It's going to be SO WORTH IT though. I will 10000% be back- soon. I might just get some Otoro, Hamachi, and one of those smoked tuna rolls...man. SO. RIDICULOUSLY. GOOD. Get in there if you haven't been in a while. Trust me!
