Awesome food, most delicious sushi and I usually don't love sushi. Check it out at Avalon. Look forward to going back. read more

This is the worst restaurant I have ever seen in the US. I ordered sushi and one fish dish. Sushi was horrible taste. We told them that we didn't like it but shelf said that we are not going to replace it. Customer service was also bad as they did not give the spoon or folk even after asking for that. How can you eat rice without spoon or folk. read more

Took my Mrs here for date night. Sat at the bar. Bartender forgot to put in our order. Took an hour to get our app which was 4 pieces of sashimi. We ordered a four course special. The food was pretty good. After we had the special we decided we wanted another roll. We ordered our roll and about 15 minutes later our bartender delivers the wrong roll. This was my first and last experience with this place too many good sushi places out there. The bartender also was wearing a mask that was too big and 50% of the time we were there her nose and mouth were exposed. read more

Sushi/drinks were amazing. The waiter was amazing, ask to sit in Tan's section Great atmosphere Prices were reasonable. Great location read more

I've been coming here as a get away and treat to myself for many years and I always get the Otoro which is simply divine! The service is great and the place is clean. However on this particular occasion, I noticed there were several tables that needed cleaning and there was only one waiter servicing the entire restaurant, in addition to bussing the tables. This was unusual and uncharacteristic for this restaurant. Hoping this was a one off situation. read more

This was one of he best sushi places that I have ever been to but your going to pay a hefty price. Great for a holiday or birthday but not a place to frequent if your frugal. Enjoy! read more

Sad to say I was disappointed. Beautiful restaurant with overpriced mediocre sushi. I don't mind $$$ if it's worth it. I would pay 10-20 dollars easily for a delicate one of a kind sushi PER nigiri, not a roll at a sushi place if it's worth it. Not this place. read more

Between us we had three appetizers, two soups, three rolls, one wine and still left hungry after paying the $130 tab (with tip). There was a constant, annoying electronica beat that did not add to the otherwise nice ambience. Service was good, presentation was good, food was all good. Just sayin' you'll pay a lot and get a little here. We got the soups just to try to fill up. read more

The most amazing sushi in town! SO fresh and tasty. Service is exceptional. Modern clean dinning. read more

It is a cool looking Japanese establishment for people who has $$$ to blow. Brand new Japanese spot inside of new holy fancy Avalon Phase II offers expensive food that doesn't taste good. Pretty waitress and nice bar will attract the customers, definitely not the food. The next door Vietnamese food is a lot better. read more

What a wonderful addition to Avalon! I used to visit MF Sushi back in the day when there was a location on Ponce de Leon and I loved it! I was excited to see MF Bar in Avalon. We arrived at around 7:30 pm on a Friday. The place was packed, but the hostess found us two seats at the bar. We were seated promptly and greeted by the bartenders. I was happy to see one of my fav wines on the list and it was available by the glass. We ordered the Volcano Roll, the Tuna Paradise and the Dynamite roll. All were extremely fresh and tasty. My favorite was the Dynamite roll!! My friend remarked that the Volcano roll was one of the better versions of the roll she's had. She mentioned that the sauce was lighter but delicious. Overall, I will give MF Bar 4.5 stars for a wonderful night. The servers were amazingly sweet but the service was slow. Otherwise, they would have received 5 stars. I will return (but maybe not on a Friday night)! read more

Stopped in for a business lunch today. Food was ok, but service was quite bad, with not many people in the restaurant. They didn't bring my rice with my salmon, and I let them know twice that I was in a hurry, took their sweet time and brought my rice after I paid my check. Slow with everything, taking orders, bringing food out, the only thing they were quick with was bringing the check. read more

The service was slow and not attentive. I tried to return an item that I did not want to eat bc it tasted bad and the staff argued with me about removing it from my bill. I'm only going to the Inman park location from now on - or kona. read more

Food was good. Didn't quite like the service. Server was extremely busy and maybe why the service suffered.

What a rip-off and horrible service! We wandered in here after seeing the sign and got excited thinking it was the old MF Sushi in buckhead that closed.... The old buckhead location with namesake was what drew me here, thinking it was a reincarnation of that restaurant. Wow, was I mistaken! This restaurant was nothing like that restaurant... Instead, overpriced menu items were very mediocre or down right inedible (stay away from the jellyfish salad - not good at all and it left a strange aftertaste - floral notes were strong and overpowering). The scallop appetizer was ok but not worth the trip here. Pretty presentation, restaurant decor, and plating of food.... too bad the taste and service couldn't follow. Don't get me started on service - our drinks came halfway through our meal, and some of us never even received the beers we ordered... dishes came sporadically, the waiter was very disorganized and couldn't keep up with what was served or ordered (maybe he drank all our beers? - who knows but he definitely couldn't get our orders straight). For a restaurant in the Avalon, you really need to do better! Not impressed at all, we ended up at another restaurant afterwards to fill up - as we left disappointed and hungry. What a let down! An expensive lesson for all of us... save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Sushi is great and prices are more than fair! Gave it 4 stars only because the service is not always the best.

All I can say is incredible! We were instantly greeted by Alex, the owner, who tended to us the entire time. He recommended menu items for us and placed the order of items for us. He was extremely personable, friendly, and genuine. The entire staff was eager to help and friendly. The atmosphere, excellent food, music, and staff made it a dining experience to remember! We will definitely be back. read more

This is a new location for the MF group, located in the new section of The Avalon Shopping/Lifestyle Mecca. They also own and operate District 3, located right next door, which is a Vietnamese style eatery. This particular MF, is a smaller, very trendy and chic restaurant, with a central oval shaped bar and booth and bench style seating on three sides of the interior. The noise level was above normal, with a large group at the opposite wall, and I felt the tables were really small and it suffered the typical rocking, because the feet of the table were uneven. Our first two sushi rolls were good. However, just like the MF location in Inman Park area, the portions are not tremendous. Therefore, I felt compelled to order another Roll, going with a familiar stand by, Spider Roll. Which is of course, tempura style, fried Softshell Crab. Big mistake! It was DRY, I mean Desert Dry, No flavor, No Seasoning and the Crab itself was over Fried and Chewy. Service was lacking. They were busy and I get it, but I had So much time, I was literally sitting there watching the server and conversing with my friends. There was one server assigned to us, but really I only noticed the one server. The bartender actually came over to help take orders and give table side service. At one point, even the young hostess assisted. We were there with another Meet Up group and through our Organizer, we were given complimentary Miso Soup and Edamame and 10% off our bill. Well, the 10% was not offered, until after I had asked for it. The server said that she would have to check with the Manager first. They honored it, but we shouldn't have to ask. But, She did point out that she did NOT add the tip on the bill (We had 15 people), and that she "Trusts us", was her words. Which is TACKY in my book of Restaurant and Dining Etiquette. Overall, needs work. Needs to be more like MF in Inman Park. And definitely "beat up" the guy who made that terrible Spider Roll. One last note, they served one of us, a glass of water that had a folded/crumbled piece of paper floating in it. It was the size of the ice cube. Attention to detail would be greatly appreciated. read more

This is my go to when I'm looking for a sushi/sashimi fix. I've loved MF since MF Sushi in Buckhead years ago and multiple iterations ago. My favorites: Lobster tempura - rich and decadent Truffle aioli salmon - savory, very flavorful Yellow tail app - spicy, savory and very flavorful Chilean sea bass robata - light and flaky. Hint of sweetness and smoke flavor Spicy yellow tail roll Spicy rainbow roll Fresh wasabi - expensive but much better than regular. It's hard to choose regular wasabi once you've had it. The sushi and sashimi are extremely fresh here. I don't bother with soup or salad here and go straight to a really good app. Next I'm trying the wagyu beef robata. read more

Food was amazing. Chef Sam created an individual tasting based on his freshest fish! Sweetheart, kamikaze And Sapphire rolls where the best. Our waitress, Celina, made great recommendations! MF Lychees are a must try. read more

The best sushi I have had in/around Atlanta. I go just about every week and get the same roll every time with an addition to an appetizer, skewer, and second roll to split. The price is right for the quality of sushi. I have a shellfish allergy and they are very knowledgeable and aware when I tell them. read more

Good sushi especially nigiri! Recommend All the signature nigiri! Otoro and a5 wagyu are some of my favorites! They do have sashimi as well just ask your server! Yellowtail jalapeño and baked lobster are must try apps! read more

MF Bar - Grilled octopus yuzu salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Mother day Sushi... let's try a new spot I'm being generous with a two Set up is strange since the sushi prep area is in the kitchen . But nice and modern look . Similar to the other reviews, we where seated quickly based on a reservation. They brought our party water after about 10 minutes. Then the service ground to a halt. I understand that they are new. So a little leeway. However, it was obvious that the over worked servers had little training and in my assumption their biggest fault was they had no busboys. Nothing refilled and stuff on the table Menu - nice selection. On the pricey side However this place is not kid friendly ... they have no kids items...they have steak, duck and fish... no chicken... Ok it's Mother's Day... so let's splurge. However the steak is $26 bucks and it's tiny and al la carte. That was our one kids meal... We ordered all at once. However stuff came I'm small batches... When the meal came about 40 minutes later it was good. But the servings where very small... I will say the quality is excellent. Overall -- Pros Good fish Nice location Cons Service - slow disorganized and undertrained Price - if they had 5 $ signs it would be appropriate. $200 bucks for lunch with only 2 beers .. No kids options -- weird for being in the Avalon. Ie don't bring kids here ... it's a waste Time - 2 plus hours is not a great lunch option Overall much better sushi options close by read more

Extremely average sushi unfortunately. You literally get the same or better quality at a grocery store. So disappointed.

** EDIT: Have returned several times and have been a little disappointed. Natsu is now my go-to spot for sushi in Alpharetta ** The Signature O-Toro is elegantly built on top of some of the best, freshest, fattiest blue-fin I have found outside of NYC or the west coast. Melts in your mouth! The Avocado Ball (Ahi Poke) has just the right amount of acidity to cut through the richness of the avocado and marbled tuna. The truffle mousse on the Avocado Ball adds an insane twist that is very foreign to an Ahi Poke junkie at first, but brings that classic umami flavor (earthiness) that is as core to the Japanese as bacon is to the south. read more

This is my 2nd time here. This time I got sick from the food (REFUND PLEASE), and it had a strange after taste (really strange). I will go to Whole Foods for all of my sushi cravings from this day forward. read more

Oddly enough I find the best sushi In Atlanta. Why? I don't know. Well MF bar takes sushi to the next level. Not only is the sushi excellent, the service is too with eating instructions for every item you order. Great sushi with Southern charm and mannerism makes for a great experience here!! Will always return. read more

We have been here twice. The first time, they had just opened and it was the worst service ever. We swore we would never go back but after a couple months we decided to give them another shot - and we are glad we did! The lobster box is incredible. It was definitely our favorite thing we ordered, but all of the sushi was delicious! The miso soup was nice as well. We sat at the bar and the bartender Jena waited on us. She gave good recommendations and made me a tasty cocktail (called the Green Seed I think?). Jena was helpful and attentive. Much better than the service we experienced the first time we went. Yes, as others have commented, this is an expensive place. We went in starving and ordered several rolls and had 3 drinks plus soup and salad and our bill was about $180 for the two of us. If you want a cheaper sushi option nearby, RuSans is not far from here & yummy. However, the box style sushi at MF (seriously, try the lobster box!) and the fatty tuna nigiri is just so tasty! read more

Used to love this place until today. We are regulars and frequent MF almost 3-4 times a month. Sometimes just my family if 3 and sometimes 10 of us. My sons birthday dinner for the past 3 years has been MF - inviting 10-12 people. Well all this changed today. I called to add people to my reservation and they told me 7 or more people it is a minimum of $85 a person. So I asked when they started and he said it's been years. I said there's no way as we have NEVER BEEN TOLD THIS. The manager said "yes it has been but I guess you didn't notice on your bill". I said no sir it's never been like that and not have we been told this. The manager was a complete JERK - yes I said it. Clearly a new manager bc my husband walked in and didn't know 1 person working there as we go every single week to MF. So long story short - we said we will do 2 tables of 4 and 4 since he's being dumb about the 7 or more charge......mind you our table for 8 was already set up. So they separated the table of 8.......and put 4 on that table and 4 on another table!!!! What a pretentious MANAGER. So needless to say they lost all respect and definitely our business. I wish I got his name but all I know is he was the manager...:....working behind the bar. Oh well. Bye bye MF. Hopefully they can get back the original people that were much nicer and respected the regular clientele. Alpharetta had many other sushi spots that are amazing so we aren't worried and nobody else should be either!!!!! RIP MF (no pun intended) read more

Love MF ! Definitely expensive but worth it. I would have given 5 stars but some of the miso cod was a lil too charred. Rolls are fresh and delicious. Love how fresh the soups are. I'm very picky with miso soup and theirs was on point! You can taste the freshness. Seaweed salad were delicious and everyone was very mask and spacing out. Very elegant and eccentric restaurant. Staff are young but super sweet. read more

Sunday reso's at 7:00. Pretty easy right? Anything but. Food didn't touch our table till 8:05 and we had to ask for water on three separate occasions. Food quality was the only thing from keeping this from being a 1 star. Good luck. read more

Came here for a spontaneous lunch with my mom who was visiting from out of town. We shared 3 of the small appetizers and two rolls. Tuna tatami, spicy salmon, and kampachi appetizers were all perfect. The tuna rice box roll was amazing and the caterpillar roll was also delicious. Service was attentive and efficient. read more

Made reservations for a party of seven for Sunday night. It was my daughter's 21st birthday and we wanted to do something special, yet close to home. We had drinks, appetizers, soup, salads and a completely irresponsible number of different rolls and nigiri, and everything was just excellent. We loved the modern decor and intimate setting. Our server was so attentive and very helpful with the menu. We would definitely do this again and will probably make a tradition of having our special family celebrations at this spot. read more

We went to MF Bar last night and definitely had a MF good time!! The decor is very zen and comfortable. We ordered quite a few different offerings last night and while not everything wowed me a few things really stood out... Three words: Chilean Sea Bass. This was absolutely my favorite dish of the evening. The fish was cooked perfectly, and had a beautiful presentation. We compared the fish to the likeness of lobster, very buttery and tender; perfection!! The grilled octopus salad stood out but for all the wrong reasons. I was very disappointed with the consistency of the octopus, chewy and lacking flavor. Other than that everything was wonderful, especially our server whose name I cannot remember. I would love to go back to MF Bar for some fresh, delicious seafood!! read more

The only reason I gave it a four is I personally am not a sushi person. However my wife is so here I am. Since I am not I did order the Chilean Sea bass. I have to say it was the best cooked sea bass I have had. But more important, the bartender and our server Lauren were the hit. Not only do they remember you, they ensure your experience is a great one. Lauren the bartender has always been wonderful to my wife as she travels here often. Walks in the door and immediately she knows what my wife wants. Folger our server. Well let's just say I like to have fun. She is observant, kind and really witty. She knows how to make your experience enjoyable. I will be back! read more

Great server was fast and attentive. I sat outside so I could enjoy the breeze and Avalon's very nice ambiance. There happy hour menu is amazing. The prices are great and have good options. I asked the sushi to be cut thinly and it came in the perfect portions. hurry in before happy hour ends at 6:30pm you won't regret it! read more

Really excellent specialty sushi. Ordered the chefs tasting menu. Great portions, amazing flavors. Chef was watching our reactions which was fun. Bartender was on point, great personality, really enjoyed her and her service, and let us try a cocktail we ended up getting. Took away one star because it's overpriced, even if it is delicious with a great atmosphere. Spent over $200 for two people. read more

Really love this sushi place. I've gone here several times, the food is always really fresh, and the combinations are fantastic! The staff is courteous, attentive, and they make great recommendations. I would suggest you make a reservation for a weekend night, but you can usually find a seat at the bar if that's OK with you. I actually prefer to sit at a sushi bar when I'm at a sushi bar, so it always works out well for me. read more

We've been to MF Bar over a dozen times and have had a great experience every time. Really good sushi and a great sake selection. Our favorite server, Tan, makes our visits even more enjoyable! Make sure to ask for him when you're there. Great recommendations on sake, off menu items and specials. read more

Came here on a date. Social distancing in place, although halfway through our meal the seated someone right next to me at the bar. That-I didnt like so much. But everything else was amazing! From the hostess who greeted us to the bartender who served us. Sweet and welcoming. I wish I remembered the bartenders name. She was really great! Her suggestions were spot on. She gave her true reviews. She mad an Amazing lychee martini. Date opted for tasting menu for each of us and ordered us each miso soup. This most soup came with mushrooms. Our server informed us of this. I was happy, and it was delicious. I wish it was hotter. But it was delicious. The tasting menu starters (date and I got different items so we could share) were yellowtail with ponzu and green chili. I've tried other places. This one was more sublime and less punchy than others, but I like an aggressive ponzu. The tuna with truffle aioli...sexy. sexy dish, balanced flavors (not overly truffle-y) and sexy mouthfeel with that velvety tuna. Sashimi and and sushi was fresh and nice balanced amounts of rice to fish ratio for the sushi. We had a sushi roll with shrimp tempura and...tuna I believe? I cant remember the roll, but it was very yummy. For my tastebuds it was overshadowed by the tuna box sushi. Crispy rice with spicy tuna. I've had this other places and now look for it whenever I go to sushi establishments. This was a really delicious one. Textures, flavors. We contemplated ordering another one. So good. But, we were full and wanted to save room for Jeni's ice cream :) read more
