    The hospital bed as a result of the sushi
    Mira L.

    Stopped by on a Monday evening. Ordered sushi and then BOOM! I'm at the ER. Fever, body chills and extreme diarrhea. GI test results confirmed a virus due to the sushi or roe. Spent 4 days admitted to the hospital, racked up thousands in medical bills and will NEVER eat sushi from this business again.

    It's been a while since I dined on the orient express for Chinese food. This experience was very pleasant. Food options are always in the best interest of of the people. I ordered the garlic chicken, general Tso's chicken, caterpillar roll. Everything came out as expected. The consistency of flavor is why I patronize this location. It always taste the same. Seating arrangements are comfortable and the design and decor of the space is aesthetically appealing. My order was customized because I am not a fan of broccoli so other veggies were added to my dish that made it extraordinary. Reservations are advised but not necessary

    I've dined here many times over the years and have enjoyed their sushi, Chinese, and hibachi menus. Orient Express is still one of my favorites! I recently ordered takeout and was disappointed to find that the food tasted like it had been refried or sitting out, even though we picked it up right away. The service has always been great, though the parking lot is very tight..

    What a fun evening! Came with a small group. This is a unique restaurant with 3 dining options in 1. The "Orient Express" is an old classic dining railroad cart and it is incorporated into a huge restaurant. As you enter to the left is an area where Chinese food is served. Straight ahead is a beautiful area for sushi/sashimi. Then if you walk down the railroad cart to the right is a habatchi restaurant. We sat here and had a fun tableside dining experience where a chef cooked steak, lobster, shrimp, scallops, and veggies in front of us. The chef put on a great show and interacted well with the group. Fresh high end ingredients were used and the food was delicious. A server came around and kept the drinks filled and made sure we were having a great experience. We had a wonderful and can't wait to come back.

    I love this place! I honestly think it is such a hidden gem. They have 3 menus a Chinese food men, sushi & hibachi. I've tried the Chinese and sushi and both were great. I love their Mongolian beef and their sushi. It's hard to find good sushi around here in my opinion. The service is pretty solid and the restaurant is super unique both inside and out,

    Came here for a birthday dinner and we had a very nice time. You walk up to the building and it indeed looks like a train in the front which is so cool. Parking in kind of a pain but once you're inside it's a vibe. There's a hallway that is very much like an old train, super cute area to have cocktails. To the left is more of a sit down family style. To the right is more bar. And then all the way down is hibachi. I've done sushi before at the bar which was fine. Habachi was a nice time. The food is always what's to be expected. Service was good and it went by very quickly. They only take reservations for hibachi for 6+ so otherwise it's walk in. On a Saturday at 7 we were seated right away. No food being thrown into mouths tho which was a little bit of a bummer. Overall if habachi is your thing check it out.

    I've eaten at no less than 4 other hibachi restaurants between Hawaii and Georgia and this is the first one wherein I enjoyed the food. A friend treated me for Veteran's Day. I love everything about this place. The ambiance is good whether you're at a regular table or the grill. The service was great. The food was great, too! It's so cool from the outside to walk into a train car. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend!

    The sesame chicken tastes like it was refried. The chicken was hard and chewy. The chips for the soup was stale. The seaweed on the Sushi Roll was so chewy you could barely bite through it. I used to love this place, I won't be back.

    Went for a celebration lunch with my daughter at almost 2pm end of lunchtime. Service was amazing and the food was also on point. I had the steak and shrimp medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The soup was so amazing with deep rich flavorful broth and the ginger salad looked overdressed but was actually just perfect. The Pom Pom margarita was also great!

    Food was fresh & hot. My buddies beef & rice was sooo good! My TSO ,chicken wasn't fried crisp as requested. I took it home & gave it to my nephew! The salad & soup was good. When I arrived, my buddy was sitting in the "Rosa Parks" section. It was depressing so I asked to move to the "Upper Room". It was so nice over there! The ambiance over there is nice! Anywhooooo..... I would not order the same thing again

    The restaurant is split into two sections (divided by walls and bathroom hallway): hibachi and sushi/chinese menu. We sat in the sushi/chinese menu side. The service was a bit slow as it looked like only a couple of servers for the entire restaurant; which meant they were going back and forth down the hallway to different tables. That being said, our server was still extremely nice and proactive. He immediately asked if there were any allergies at our table (which we did have). Most places aren't proactive, so we appreciated that a lot. The food portions were nice and everything was delicious. The decor was nice but the carpet and ceiling needs work (heavily stained and old). Parking is a bit tight. Prices were reasonable.

    This review is for my second visit. My first visit was fine and my sushi was decent. The only reason I went back though was for a friend's birthday dinner. I do acknowledge that it was a busy Saturday night, but the service was just not good. There were 5 of us and we all asked for water, but we only received 4. The next time the waiter came by we asked him for one more. He disappears and comes back with...soy sauce bowls for sushi. We did eventually get the 5th water. Two of us ordered sushi and the rest Chinese. Well the sushi came out a good 10+ minutes before the other dishes. And then one dish came out another 10+ minutes after the other Chinese dishes. When we asked the waiter, he said the kitchen was working on it and it would just be 5 minutes. My sushi rolls were yummy but nothing special. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food and had leftovers. At the end of the meal, he drops off one check (without asking) and disappears again - even if we didn't want it split, we still would've wanted to pay! After waiting a good while, we asked a waiter walking by if he could find our waiter for us, and we got a curt "he's on his way." He finally comes back and we ask if the bill can be split, and he got 3 of the 4 receipts wrong... We also had to ask if he could take some of the used plates to make more space on the table. I've noticed this at a lot of restaurants lately and it drives me bananas. Just clear some of the mess, please!

    Food is always good! Generous portions, I always end up with some to take home. Service is great, cooks are fun, bartenders make really good drinks!! I love this little place on the train tracks! It has so much character, various seating, and a beautiful koi pond out front.

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!

It is absolutely Instagram-worthy and honestly adds to the experience. I've been many times and usually the service is excellent but on a few recent lunch visits, not sure if a rude customer just left, if staff was ready to go or what, but service could have used some improvement. Not outright rude, just bare minimum effort and very inattentive I still say This is a great spot for lunch, a cute date, or when you want sushi that tastes good and looks good. I'd definitely go back, just maybe not during lunch for a while
