We tried out some rolls and the fried rice, and it was all so good. The hot-ta-te roll was really tasty and definitely a unique roll I haven't seen before; the flavors all worked well together. Also got chicken karage as a starter, and it was a pretty good-sized portion and had a nice taste. I definitely suggest this place out. We got takeout, and it was really good, but I think it is also a great spot for a special-occasion dinner.

Tenya Japanese Eatery is one of those hidden gems you'd easily miss if you weren't looking for it…read more Located on N. Decatur Rd. at a very busy intersection, it sits tucked into a tiny shopping center, blink and you will drive right past it. Parking is limited, and you can immediately tell the small lot fills up fast, especially during peak hours. I stumbled upon Tenya while in town on a Tuesday, scrolling Yelp in search of a solid lunch spot, and I'm glad I did. This is a family-owned Japanese eatery that specializes in comfort food, and according to their website, everything is made from scratch, which absolutely shows in the quality. I placed my order online and picked it up with ease. I ordered the Shrimp Saku Saku appetizer along with a fresh garden Tenya salad. The shrimp were excellent, perfectly crispy with a flavorful panko coating that didn't feel heavy or greasy. The salad was impressively fresh and came with their house-made ginger dressing, which paired beautifully with the crisp greens and added just the right balance of sweetness and tang. Inside, the restaurant is quaint and cozy, with a decent amount of seating for its size. The customer service was warm and welcoming; the lady at the counter greeted me kindly and had my order ready shortly after I arrived, making the pickup process smooth and pleasant. A nice bonus is the selection of packaged Japanese snacks and drinks available at the counter, always a fun touch and something you don't see everywhere. Next time, I plan to dine in and explore more of the menu, along with sampling some of those snacks and drinks. Tenya is a great example of simple, thoughtfully prepared food done right. I'll definitely be back.

We were first offered a comfy seat in the middle of the restaurant, but I asked if we could have a cozy corner table instead. The staff gladly accommodated us. After just a few minutes, they let us know a table in the back had opened up, and we immediately agreed. It ended up being the perfect, quaint spot for our dinner date. I had my usual seafood mix along with edamame, soup, and salad, everything was fresh and delicious. My husband enjoyed a beautiful assortment of sushi, which he absolutely loved. Sushi Avenue is simply amazing and continues to impress us even after four years of being loyal customers. Sushi Avenue is a beautiful gem! We want to thank the wonderful staff for their hard work and the talented chefs for consistently creating such delicious sushi.

They offer some outside tables which are a nice touch especially on days when it is beautiful outside. Inside they have booths a tables upstairs and then down the 2 stairs, you have the sushi bar that is always fun to sit at, as well as some tables in the back. While I could write all about our amazing dining experiences in house, I'm going to make this a "to-go" review because most of the time, I am picking food up from here to eat at home or elsewhere. Bento Box lunch deal- BEST DEAL ever! This lunch deal comes with soup or salad, rice, edename, broccoli, and an orange Slice. You choose 2 of the following: California roll, gyoza (veg, chicken, or pork), tempura (shrimp and veg), or teriyaki chicken or salmon. The portion is so filling! My order is the veg gyoza and the teriyaki salmon. Both are super flavorful and I usually don't finish it all. My teens go for the sushi of course! The other items that we love is the Octopus salad (which they only offer in the evening when available), eel roll, spicy crunchy tuna roll, super veg roll (for me!), north roll, scorpion roll, miso soup, and the green salad with ginger dressing. Honestly, everything here is great! This is a true "locals" spot. We usually pick this up and bring it to the park to eat it.

The delivery was fast and smooth and the hot foods stayed hot and the sushi stayed fresh. While in Covington I had to order their Covington roll and even though I like my sushi sashimi style I really enjoyed it. The fish was fresh and the whole roll just melted in my mouth with every bite. The rainbow roll and California roll were good too! We ordered a large bowl of steak and noodles and it was a good portion. You get plenty of noodles and steak and the steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender and flavorful. The pork gyozas were also delicious. The pork was flavorful and it was perfectly fried. The crab rangoon was amazing! I've never had a crab random so creamy and oozing with filling. It was definitely a favorite and a must order every time! We really enjoyed everything we ordered and when we visit Covington again we will definitely stop by to try more of their menu items.

The decor and atmosphere really make you feel like you've been transported to a lively izakaya in Japan--it's the perfect spot for sharing a wide variety of small plates. The Tapas & Kitchen: * Ankimo (Monkfish Liver): This was a standout. It was prepared perfectly--rich, velvety, and a great start to the meal. * Grilled Highlights: The kitchen really excels with the grill. The chicken skin is crispy and decadent, and the chicken liver is another major hit--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. * Seafood Favorites: My wife absolutely loved the steamed clams, and the grilled oysters were a hit as well. The octopus salad was also very fresh and well-balanced. The Sushi Bar: * Fish Selection: The quality and variety here are impressive. We ordered a mix of rolls and nigiri, including scallop, sweet shrimp, and tuna maki. * Quality: Every piece of fish was notably fresh. The only minor critique was the sushi rice--it was a bit dry for my personal taste, but the quality of the seafood more than made up for it. * Snail (Tsubugai): It's great to see more unique options like snail on the menu; it's a nice touch for those who appreciate traditional Japanese variety. The Experience: The menu is huge and well-rounded, offering something for everyone. Despite being our first time, the service was efficient and the pricing felt very fair for the quality and portion sizes provided.

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!
