Just to be clear this is not a spot you would go to watch a game or bring a large party so don't do that lol. The parking lot that they have is very small so keep that in mind. You can see signs that point to around the neighborhood, which is around the corner. It's in a strip mall so it shares a lot with a few other places. It's not surprising that the lot is going to be full of homeless people if you try to go. When you come in, you have to wait until you're seated and once you get greeted it's usually pretty cool. Everybody else is pretty friendly and they keep coming up to the table to make sure you're good. Well that was my first time experience at least. Handmade gyoza - the gyoza was really good and it had a very savory flavor and taste to it. It felt like they were very fresh and they filled them to the brim and you could taste it. I got the pork ones because I wasn't getting tofu lol and they were really really good and I would actually go back for those when I go back. Okonomiyaki - this one is a weird one so it's a pancake type of situation but it's more cabbage than pancake. I'm not sure how I feel about it but it wasn't terrible but it wasn't really good either. Now I will say that the fact that what sent this over was all the sauces that they put on it. I'm not sure what the brown sauce was but at the same time I know that the mayo was basically drenching it as well. You can get one topping on there and the selected topping was steak. The flavor of the sauces and the steak pretty much carried the pancake because it didn't have a lot on its own. I am glad I tried it but I probably would not rush back for this. Karaage - it's fried chicken. It's not like it's anything earth-changing or somebody's auntie or grandma making it but it was pretty decent fried chicken. It came with mayo that you can dip it in but it wasn't anything life changing to me. Japanese curry (steak) - the Japanese curry was good but it was just curry. It wasn't anything that I couldn't get anywhere else at another type of restaurant but it was good and it was savory and it gave me exactly what I needed. When I ordered curry it came with rice, which was also nice that you could use as part of the meal as well, but it was just pretty good curry. Just if you need options... It comes in vegetarian if you want to do that because they have a tofu version as well but I didn't get that at all LOL! Overall I would give this another go but it wasn't a complete five star thing for me. It wasn't bad but at the same time it wasn't life-changing. I'd have to try a couple more things just to make sure. It was worth my time and effort and it will be worth my time to give it another go when I go on that side of town.

What a great experience this was. Nothing fancy walking up to or into the doors, but it was really…read morea pleasant, delicious dinner. I read all these reviews about "J" being a good server, and there is no exaggerating about her at all. She greeted me like she knew me when I walked in, and it just continued the whole meal. Lots of seating inside, and a great patio area outside. Comfortable seating for a party of two, and lots of room for larger groups and families. The menu was small but full of really amazing sounding flavors. I'd call it a mixture of Asian-fusion take on some traditional foods. My friend and I shared some Tuna Poke and KFC Bao Buns--yum!! I wanted a sake that wasn't too sweet and asked J for her recommendation. The very unique Matcha Sake was perfect!! Wish I didn't have y buy the bottle, but glad to take it home too. For entrees, my friend ordered the Bibimbap with Beef in the hot stone bowl (+$), and I tried the Garlic Noodles with shrimp (adding mushrooms and spinach for some veggies+$). Both were UH-mazing! The dishes weren't too big, but we still had enough to take home. We'll be back to try some of the other dishes. If you go, tell J ("like the letter") that she's Yelp famous.

Roasted pork belly bento: The pork belly was really scrumptious. I really like the bento box idea as it provided a balance of other items to round out the pork belly. The kimchi fried rice was spectacular along with the x3 dumpling pieces. The radish cubes and greens definitely balanced out the meal. The classic bento box also came in Korean fried chicken or bulgogi beef. They have this on both the weekend and weekday at varying prices. KFC pizza: This pizza blend was really interesting. The blend of corn and pickle slices were interesting ingredients. But also the Korean fried chicken flavoring is also unique in itself. The base was a red sauce and KFC sauce, not my favored white version, but it wasn't too bizarre tasting. It was okay in my books. The bento box was great. That particular pizza was okay. I'd love to come and visit again whenever we're back in that area.

Exceptional service, nice ambience and authentic Japanese dishes…read more So glad we checked this place out during our overnight stay in Atlanta. The service was impeccable and there's even a call button at your booth to discretely call your server. Our Japanese waiter was so friendly and very helpful. Oh and the booths are the way to go. Cozy and intimate so you feel like you're just with the company you came with. Haven't really seen many places like this lately and I must say, it's very appealing. And then there's the food. Every single dish that we had was a wonderful. My Japanese mother thoroughly enjoyed her meal at Nagomiya and commented that it was all very authentic. Her favorite is always chawanmushi (steamed egg) which is usually rare to find at restaurants. And the fish was all very melt in your mouth fresh. But not only do they do sushi well, their tempura was perfectly battered and fried and the hamachi kana was cooked just right. Highly recommend!

The restaurant itself is charming as they have private booths with curtains, which makes for a cozy dining experience. I ordered the sukiyaki with a mini chirashi and shared the okonomiyaki. The chirashi was the really good because the fish was fresh and flavorful. However, the sukiyaki was a bit too salty for my palate, and the beef was slightly overcooked. The okonomiyaki was enjoyable, though I personally would have loved a bit more sauce to round it out. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but there is definitely some room for refinement with their main dishes.

Zensai course was 3 bite app with scallop with caviar, korrokke & wagyu taco. The korrokke was creamy and bursting with flavor - loved it! My fav was the taco, it was both decadent and didn't feel heavy but it was delicious! I loved the spinalis course especially the winter melon puree - it was such an unexpected flavor combo and just a little tang. The ribeye course was aka meat butter haha and ofc it was good but I need to take a walk after that Sashimi was madai, hamachi and kampachi and they were so fresh and came from the toyosu fish market but the in house ponzu paired so well! The chocolates they gave at the end melted in your mouth and were a great contrast to the raspberry sorbet The wagyu slider was so good, we almost got a few orders to have for the next day but didn't think we'd be able to get up after the food coma took us out Everything was executed well & staff were friendly & knowledgeable. Vibe is upscale so you're not having a convo with your server about anything extraneous. Actually, it was pretty quiet in general in there with mood lighting so just a quiet night out Big plus though is it's attached to a parking deck with free parking for the retail shops in the area. They also have valet though We got the yuzu margarita which was very refreshing and gingery & my husband got an old fashioned and seemed to enjoy it + an echigo beer which tastes like a light, easy drinking beer Total bill was about $500 with the auto grat

I also thought it was very good but I wouldn't go as far as to say it is the best I personally have ever had. If you're the type to let the chef serve what he believes is the best, then this is the place for you. Soy sauce isn't even served in this restaurant as the chef is truly confident that his dishes are seasoned to perfection.

We started with the Harajuku Girl cocktail, which was excellent. For food, the salmon avocado balls and lobster box were the standouts. The avocado balls had a little kick, and both dishes were equally good. We also tried the A5 Wagyu beef roll. It was good, but not quite on the same level as the first two. The Chef's Choice Nigiri Deluxe was another highlight. Every piece was delicious and incredibly tender -- the fish really melted in my mouth. We also had a bottle of Hana Saku Sakura Junmai Ginjo, which was light, refreshing, and easy to drink. The service was a big part of the experience. They brought out a birthday shot at the end, and it was excellent. They also gave one to my partner, which was a really thoughtful touch and made the night feel more celebratory. Overall, this was a strong experience from start to finish. I'd absolutely order the salmon avocado balls, lobster box, and nigiri again.

I'm elated that I can give this place 5 stars without compromise. We came in between lunch and…read moredinner so it wasn't packed when we arrived. Parking was simple enough and free, albeit a little tight. I love the moody but light interior of this restaurant. It's not particularly upscale, but it is on the nicer end of a casual restaurant. Seating is tight but it didn't detract from the experience. Our table was a little wobbly, though. The bathrooms are tucked away in the very back of the restaurant and were tidy and clean with a nice design. The food was truly delicious. The bao duo was a great starter. We got one with pork, the other chicken. I appreciated that the flavor profiles of each were so different! We also tried the umami rice bowl... perfect seasoning and portion for an app. For ramen I had the truffle shoyu and husband had a spicy tonkotsu. We both added extra protein (pork) because most ramen places play around with the meat portion LOL. But the noodles, the egg, and all the accoutrements were texturally excellent. SO GOOD. They have a few beers on tap, a decent cocktail menu and wine. I grabbed a SauviB and hubs had a beer. It was the perfect balance to all the delicious umami flavors we experienced. Service was lovely as the place is small, and everything was clean. Our tab ran us about $88 before tip so come ready to spend. But the quality was worth it! I'll return when I'm craving ramen.

The broth was flavorful, the noodles were good, and the pork was delicious. My issue was that there was barely any broth -- maybe about a cup -- and it didn't even fill the bowl halfway. For the price, I definitely expected more broth and a little more pork. The flavor was absolutely there, but the portion just didn't match what I paid. I'd probably order it again because it tasted good, but I'd hope for a more generous serving next time.

The flavor changes depending on the chef, which I thought was a nice change. Also the shishito peppers were tasty with the cream sauce. We also got the salmon poke bowl, spicy tuna roll. Both were delish with just the right amount of spice. Also on Tuesday's they have different specials, this one was buy a chicken skewer (2) get one free. So 4 skewers for the price of one! Also delish. The cocktails were also very well balanced. Service was great. The star of the show for me was the spicy salmon crunchy roll - it was on a crusty crispy rice cube which was delish. Would certainly return.

There was also something going on where there were other guests waiting with us, but they seemed to know the staff and were being generally rowdy and disruptive at the counter once we got inside. Service took quite a long time to get us food and check in on us - I think something had happened and their chef was getting in late. In terms of food, everything we had was really good. Well flavored and balanced. The atmosphere is dark cozy bar vibes and Japanese lanterns and drinks. Very clean inside. Parking can be a little tricky in the overall neighborhood, but there's usually street parking. Would be interested in going again to see if service might have improved since our last visit.

Gotta keep it real for a moment...bringing a large group there can be a tad more complicated, so plan accordingly. I would recommend it more for intimate occasions and gatherings. That said, there are plenty of paid lots surrounding the restaurant if you can't find street parking, so at least that part is easy! I loved my experience, and I can't wait to return.

Our server was helpful with their recommendations and was attentive the entire time we were there. To start off with the appetizers, the fried tempura appetizers were just okay. The star of the show was definitely the truffle aioli fresh salmon appetizer! The flavors paired so nicely with the fresh salmon cuts. What's keeping me from giving them 5 stars is, despite having a great time and experience, I didn't truly enjoy the rolls as much even though they were good. There were a few unique rolls, but when it came to flavor profiles and uniqueness, it lacked a lot. The appetizers and the sashimi fish are what did a lot of the heavy work, in my opinion. I would still recommend this place to all raw seafood lovers.
