The Green tea wasn't that hot or strong enough according to my husband. We got the big California roll that is deep-fried. It was huge and delicious. I will say it tasted a bit fishy at first bite like maybe the oil needed to be changed or that they fried it with other items that were fishy. The French kiss roll is still my favorite! There was only one server with lots of to-go orders (Sunday at 630) but thankfully we weren't in a rush. Still a favorite for sushi!

Specifically the rice lacked moisture and the fish wasn't particularly fresh. Maybe not fair because I've lived in Japan and have definitely been spoiled. All said, decent strip mall sushi but keep your expectations in check. The waitress was nice and friendly and that's the reason I'm rounding up.

We stopped into Wicked Sushi on a Saturday night after a neighbor recommended it, and it ended up…read morebeing such a good find. We tried three specialty rolls and one cooked roll, and everything tasted really fresh. The miso soup was authentic and comforting, and the cucumber salad had a fun, unique presentation. The edamame was simple but done right -- fresh, not soggy. It's not a super fancy place, but we actually like that. The service was fast, and the whole experience felt easy and relaxed. We're newer to the area from NJ and still on the hunt for real, delicious sushi for our date nights, and this spot definitely hit the mark. We'll be back for more sushi soon.

I really wanted to love this place since it had a lot of good reviews but NOTHING was good…read more The Ginger salad dressing was runny & sweet. The salad had too much shreeded carrots and cabbage, and needed more lettuce (looks like coleslaw mix)-not worth $5 The Miso soup was not hot (lukewarm) with no flavor. The Broth was weak. More than half of the menu options are spicy. It was Cold inside & we didn't have a definite server. Both girls kept waiting on us which kind of got annoying because both of them would ask over and over if you were ready to order and then both of them brought the check. The Double tiger sushi was roll kinda fishy tasting (crab meat) and the shrimp looked raw. It was $1.50 extra for cream cheese The chicken Katsu came with the sauce already on it so then it's soggy if you wanna eat it later, but without it, it really had no flavor. Overall, it was not a great experience and I felt like it was a waste of $50.

You have the option of choosing between an All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) menu or ordering à la carte. I'd…read moredefinitely recommend the AYCE experience. We went for the dinner AYCE at $29.99 per person, and kids under 3 eat free. Our toddler (3) and baby, free of costs. But our toddler did have his own meal (chicken nuggies and fries...what a plus!) Keep in mind that some items are included in the per-person price, while others come with an additional charge. For example, the fried ice cream dessert was $1 per serving on top of the AYCE cost. Not a huge deal, but worth noting. Now, onto the revolving sushi belt experience. The bottom belt is full of pre-made sushi, circulating around, while the top belt carries the sushi you've specifically ordered via iPad. This is where a few concerns come in. Since the pre-made sushi is constantly circulating, you don't always know if someone has fiddled with it. As for the iPad ordering system, it was placed up above the top sushi belt, which was a bit of a nuisance. It would have been easier to use if it was within arm's reach, but again, not a major issue. We opted to order items that would take time to prepare and came directly to our table, so we could avoid the pre-made conveyor. The fried ice cream dessert was great, tasty--but the spoon they gave me was dirty and sticky. It honestly felt like it had been used by a kid before being handed to me. Needless to say, I didn't use it. Service was solid. Our server was helpful, especially since it was our first time, and walked us through the process. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are a few things that could be improved, particularly with cleanliness and the setup of the revolving belts.

Arita Ramen & Sushi | Buford, GA…read more If you're a salmon lover, this spot might be your next obsession ! We finally checked out Arita Ramen & Sushi and here's everything we tried Salmon Flight (recommend ) 6 pieces of salmon nigiri with evenly thick cuts and beautiful marbling. The texture was incredibly fresh, buttery, and had that rich, creamy finish. Sushi Guoba (recommend) Not on the menu, special. I expected something crispy, but it's actually more like a soft rice cake texture (not chewy). Topped with avocado + spicy tuna, super unique. Beef Shank Ramen Comes with 4 thick cuts of tender marinated beef shank in a rich bone broth. Flavorful and comforting, but I did notice a slightly sweet aftertaste, found it to be weird. BOGO Sushi Deal Rocky Shrimp was our favorite. The eel roll wasn't really for us. Chicken Hibachi Solid and the yum yum sauce was extra thick (which we loved). Yuzu Sake (recommend) Light, citrusy, and super refreshing , highly recommend if you like fruity drinks.

They gave huge pieces of sashimi and a variety of cuts but I wasn't a fan of a few of them so would probably just do a la carte next time but the presentation was so cute. Flashing lights & dry ice smoke Their menu is huge with a vast selection so take your time to go through it lol the rolls start to sound the same after awhile and they all have interesting names The inside is bigger than it looks outside and service was prompt Plenty of parking outside

I really want to give this Kura a high rating, because... it's Kura! Kura is an actual Japanese…read morechain of conveyor sushi restaurants that is worldwide. The quality and flavor is the same as the locations I have visited in Japan. In Japan, Kura is very touristy now and known for being the lower quality of all of the larger conveyor sushi restaurants, in comparison to Sushiro and the growing Hama Sushi. However, we only have Kura in the area, so I have to celebrate even having the option in Buford, GA. The main issue here is not the locations fault, the supply chain has been suffering, so many menu items are missing or sold out. Even when they have special promotions, some of those items that customers drive from miles away are missing. Also, depending on the time of day and who is working, food quality can be hit or miss. Not consistent. That is why I try to visit during hours when I think there would be a manager on duty, like weekends for lunch. What makes Kura special? 1. Vibe - the vibe, sounds, and experience is exactly the same as Japan. Except the prices are about 5x higher because we are in the US. 2. You can get half rolls, to try more and they are currently about $3.70/plate. Compared to a local restaurant that would charge about $14/roll = $7 half plate. 3. Gyudon and Beef udon - taste and flavor are same quality and delicious as Japan. 4. Seasonal promotions - This is something that Japan does well and the US does not, which is exciting promotions based on seasonal cusines with fresh ingredients in season. Not only is it great for marketing, but it is exciting to see what's new. There are some items here that are just not worth the money, like $4 cup of soda, or overpriced shrimp tempura.

I had high hopes for this revolving sushi bar, but let's just say my nail tech's recommendation…read moreshould have come with a warning label! If you're in the mood for fresh fish, you might want to steer clear of this place. It felt more like a seafood museum than a sushi restaurant. My husband, who's usually great at impulse shopping, was grabbing plates like a kid in a candy store--only to experience instant buyer's remorse each time! We somehow ended up spending $80, which I can only assume went toward supporting the fish's retirement fund. Then came the ramen experience, or should I say *disappointment*. The meat and egg were colder than my ex's heart, the noodles had the texture of overcooked rubber bands, and the broth looked like it had seen better days. Do yourself a favor and avoid this sushi carousel of regret. There are plenty of other places around that won't leave you questioning your life choices. I definitely should have!

It was nearly full but the wood decor dampened it beautifully (aesthetically and audibly). The miso soup was traditional and delicious. The chicken hibachi was flavorful and generously portioned. The veggies (broccoli, carrot, mushrooms, zucchini and onions) were cooked to perfection tender with a little firmness. The chicken was at times dry and overcooked. I could've ordered all veggies and been perfectly happy. There was a lot of rice. A lot. I'll be bringing home leftovers! Overall, I enjoyed Kumo. If and when I come back this way, I won't hesitate to try it again.

We got a bunch of things including the hibachi (steak and shrimp), Tomiyama chicken, pad Thai, and spring rolls. While everything was just mid, I have to call out the pad Thai and spring rolls. The pad Thai was so incredibly sweet, it tasted of ketchup. The spring rolls were definitely frozen, I could taste freezer in every bite. The sushi was ok, probably the best of everything. The hibachi chef was also very nice and did a great job with the "show". I have to say - the place was not clean either. I know it was probably busier than usual due to Eid, but everything was a little dirty - from dishes to the table to the thing you get your check in, they all had something gross on it. We were able to flag the staff down at some point to clean the table and dishes, but it still felt gross. Super disappointing experience. I was here about a year ago, I think their standards have dropped significantly.

First, let me say that I love this restaurant. I live in South Metro Atlanta, so for me to come all the way up to Buford, Georgia to eat at this place, I really like it. My previous experience has been nothing short of excellent. Even on this visit, the food was excellent and I had no complaints with its quality or in the environment in the establishment. However, when I walked in, I was greeted my an extremely rude young man at the front counter. He was so rude that, I decided to leave and went back to my car. As I sat there, I had to remind myself that I had driven over an hour and it would have been foolish to leave at this point. So, I went back inside and ordered. Again, extremely rude to myself and my guest. It was so bad that my guest also noticed. Even in telling us where to sit, he acted as if I was bothering him by coming inside and ordering food. When our food arrived to the table, he just slammed it down and walked off like he was annoyed. What was even more telling about how, insanely, disturbing his behavior, was that when he and his 'shift' left and was replaced my some young ladies, the experience, completely changed! I mean, immediately changed. The young ladies were helpful, pleasant, and friendly. The mood changed so drastically like night and day. Again, this food is good! The environment is neat! But, if this young man is continued to be allowed to interact with customers, there will be some continued problems.

It is a sushi restaurant so it is not expected to be cheap, and this particular restaurant serves quality sushi. The prices are at par with the quality, and in the many years we've gone here we have always experienced respectful service. In one or two occasions, the food may be delaye because the place is packed. We made our visit quite late on a Friday night this time and we were promptly seated. Our orders were taken with no delay. Our food arrived earlier than we expected and we each got the food we ordered. We were helped by an older lady who made sure she clarified our orders, and who checked on us routinely. We will go back again, as we love supporting locally owned businesses. For us, Sushi Niko Niko remains the best sushi restaurant around the Buford area.

Sushi Niko Niko in Buford, GA was truly the highlight of my day! I've been here a few times before…read morewhen I used to live closer, so stopping by for lunch while I was near the Mall of Georgia felt like a little throwback moment. The restaurant is now dine-in only (no more hibachi tables), but the experience is still absolutely worth it. The ambiance was warm and cozy ; it honestly felt like walking into a family member's house for lunch, which made the experience even better. The servers were very sweet and attentive, checking in at the right moments and making us feel genuinely welcomed. One thing to note: parking is very limited. The lot is small and tight, so it can be a bit tricky, especially during busy hours. Now let's get into the food. The menu has so many options, from the sushi bar to kitchen meals, plus plenty of lunch specials. They even offer a build-your-own bento box, which is such a win. You can choose from about 9 selections ; 2 picks for $15 or 3 picks for $17. I created my own bento with white rice, chicken katsu, a sushi combo (salmon, crab, shrimp nigiri + 2-piece California roll), and fried shrimp & vegetable tempura. The lunch special also includes soup and salad. The miso soup was very salty; I'd rate that a 3/10. The salad was decent; the ginger dressing leaned more citrusy and very light on ginger, which made it different. I'd give that a 6.5/10. That said... the bento box itself was a solid 10/10. I got all of this for under $20, and every bite hit. I was starving, and this combo absolutely did the job; happy food dance included :) Great value, comforting atmosphere, kind service, and lots of options. I'll definitely be back to try more bento combinations whenever I'm in the area. Sushi Niko Niko is officially a lunch favorite again!
