James was an amazing server, and the food as amazing! This is by far the most amazing restaurant I've ever been too!

My partner and I came across Yuji while walking along the Beltline and decided to stop in for a quick dinner. We were seated immediately, likely because the restaurant was fairly quiet at the time. The decor was absolutely beautiful. I especially loved the subtle Japanese-inspired design elements and the decorative wood branches extending from the walls, which gave the space an elegant feel. My partner and I ordered the Otoro Uni ($25), Yuji Roll ($22), and Shrimp & Eel Roll ($21). The uni had a stronger seafood flavor than I typically prefer, but it tasted better than the uni I've had at other restaurants. Both specialty rolls were flavorful, and the ingredients complemented each other well without any one component overpowering the others. Each dish was also plated beautifully. To top it off, our waitress was attentive throughout the meal. read more

Gorgeoussssss! I had my monthly girls' night out at Yuji, and I'm so glad we voted on this spot. I've passed it on the Beltline way too many times. It's in a very walkable area if you happen to be day-chilling on the Beltline, so parking is truly up to you. BUT if you're coming specifically for Yuji, there's a paid parking deck right next door with decent pricing (if memory serves, the first 2 hours are free, then maybe $10 after?). And if you get lucky, there's street parking! A friend and I arrived a little earlier than our group and sat at the bar for our first drink. The decor is so soft and modern, and the plush bar seats were definitely a plus. The cocktail menu was very balanced in my opinion, with something for everyone. If you have a specific taste, definitely talk to the bartender or server for guidance before ordering. I believe I had a cocktail called Smoking Jacket that was delicious! We were seated promptly at our reservation time and had a great time. I'll need to go back to try the rolls because I was too caught up in the miso soup with crab meat, the baked lobster tempura, and the fatty salmon sashimi. The only thing I would say is that service dragged near the end when we had to wait a while before receiving our checks. Everyone had been done for a while, but I also understand that restaurants have pops of business and volume, so it wasn't a big deal. Still one of my favorite sushi experiences this year! read more

Yuji is the most amazing sushi spot on the Atlanta beltline!! Its both gorgeous and moody. The food is perfect and the cocktails are creative. The hand rolls aren't pictured here but I also love those. The Otoro tuna is INSANE. If there's anything you have to try on the menu it's that!! It melts in your mouth. Parking isn't validated, but you might be able to find street parking in the area. Right in the middle of everything on the Beltline, which makes it a perfect stop. Get a reservation! read more

We did the chef's tasting. The pros: Gorgeous setting. Really beautiful bar. Mostly tasty drinks (the highball was meh, but the yuzu smash and the lychee martini were good). The chefs sashimi bites and the cooked fish were delicious, and the cheesecake is nice. The cons: For $187/per person, I just expected a more put-together experience. The server didn't know what a chef's tasting was, and had to go talk to the manager when we ordered it. It took an hour+ to get any food. Everyone around us at other tables was eating and we were so hungry. I think the kicker for me was when the server came back to argue twice with us about extra drink charges that we didn't order. It was eventually resolved, but the whole experience was too trying for the high cost. The chef's tasting sometimes came with a passing description of the food, but sometimes we didn't know what we were eating. We also had one food aversion request that I know was input because it showed on the receipt, and it was not honored. So for anyone with an allergy, just make sure you are checking. I do suspect we had an out of ordinary experience and that our server was new. I saw other tables having very different evenings. But the general front of house vibe was chaotic. read more

Yuji is gorgeous and in an ideal location on the Beltline. However, on Sunday night the service was extremely slow and the food lacked flavor. We ordered the mushroom medley and the tuna tartare along with miso soup. Additionally, we were swatting away gnats throughout our conversation and meal. The mocktail was delicious. read more

Absolutely loved this place. Coming back from Japan a few months ago I've been looking for a comparable sushi/sashimi place, this is it. Cocktails were amazing. Vibe was right. Service was great. Got the wagu roll to start.. very good. Did the sashimi tasting with my guest, one tuna, one salmon.. best I've had maybe ever in the US. read more

Yuji is our new favorite fancy sushi. We also love that we can walk to it because it is on the beltline. The more people you go with and the more food you can try, which is what I recommend, because there are very few things I don't want to eat every time I come here. If you want to be outside and watch TV, you can enjoy sitting at the outdoor bar or on the patio and eating some sushi, too. Most days, I prefer dining inside because their decor and bar are so beautiful. They have an excellent cocktail menu, but I usually get the drink. It's like an old-fashioned because it comes in a cute old box with ice and the rest of your drink in a little flask, so that we can say cold. I've also had their espresso martini, and I'm sure a few other beverages from the menu. I've even had some sake. As for the food, you cannot go wrong. I have been here at least four times and have not had anything I wouldn't order immediately again. My favorite nigiri would be otoro, salmon, or scallop (disclaimer: I don't eat beef, so I wouldn't order it). For the appetizers, I would keep the Otoro and the salmon, then add the yellowtail as my favorite. My favorite rolls are the lobster roll, the salmon roll, the crispy spicy tuna or salmon box, the Yuji roll, and the Kyoto roll. read more

I made a reservation to try out this new spot right on the beltline! They have a huge bar outside where you can get drinks and some menu items. We arrived early so we had an espresso martini outside. At the time they were served in plastic cups and I kind of wish they were served in normal glasses but maybe it's because it is outside and they don't want to have broken glass. When we moved inside we ordered a few different rolls/nigiri. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The aesthetics of the restaurant was also very beautiful. I would stop by again if I were craving sushi! Full overview on my tiktok: @vivadanielle read more

I've been eyeing this place for a while, and finally decided to try it out for lunch while strolling on the beltline with my sister. It was chilly outside, so we were hoping for it to be warm inside, but it was pretty chilly inside as well. We quickly realized that it must be cold due to making sure that the sushi grade fish they prepare at the sushi counter stays fresh and safe, so be aware of this just in case! We shared salmon crudo as an appetizer, and ordered the tuna poke bowl each. The salmon crudo was insanely fresh, but the flavor was just ok. The sauce didn't really do anything to enhance the flavor of the salmon like I'm used to. As for the tuna poke bowl, it was one of the best poke bowls we've ever had! The tuna was fresh, and all of the ingredients were super simple yet complemented the tuna. It honestly reminded us a bit of poke in Hawai'i due to its simple freshness! read more

Sat at the bar and was looking forward to it! But pretty quickly after ordering drinks and miso soup the menus got taken and it was clear the staff had other interests. Shame. I'm sure the sushi is good. read more

Food is okay but soooo expensive! How can 2pc nigiri cost $15 or more?! Their non-sushi food was hit or miss. For example the grilled whole squid was oddly spicy, I think too much spice mix on it. The grilled mushrooms on the other hand were quite good. Portions are small though. For rolls our server suggested the salmon box. Which is really pressed crunchy rice nigiri kinda thing. The rice was very hard to chew. I would not recommend that. Thankfully I wasn't paying. I would not pay this much money to eat just okay sushi. read more

We found street parking. There's a parking garage attached, but not sure if they validate parking. We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon our arrival. Our server was great, she had amazing recommendations. We did wait a little bit for our drinks but it was worth it! The Yuzu Ginger Smash had quite a unique taste to it, it grew on me the more sips that I took. I LOVED the Old Ward, it was very strong, but just amazing quality. I truly enjoyed every single bite. The appetizers were awesome. I loved the tempura breading, and the sauces were divine. The shishito peppers were SO GOOD. My Boyfriend said--don't go here if you're hungry, go if you want to be dazzled and delighted (lol). He said that the quality of the fish is extraordinary for Atlanta. He also said that the service is some of the best he has had in Atlanta, and I agree:) This was a really nice date night spot, with a great atmosphere. read more

I've always been curious about Yuji along the beltline, and I finally gave them a visit today. For lunch, I had a great experience with both front and back of house staff! My server was very sweet and friendly, and service was great. The food was also really good, I had the shrimp tempura roll which comes with eel sauce. The ambiance is very pretty and there is a lot of different seating options. I was sat by the sushi bar, which was a fun experience of its own. I also liked that they have an outdoor bar area, though it was closed due to the cold weather. I definitely need to give it a visit once it gets warmer!! read more

Been seeing the buzz about this place. It happened that we are celebrating a friend's birthday here and was really looking forward to it. The space is modern and beautiful, right on the beltline. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Since it was group of us (12 total), we were seated inside. Forgot our server's name but she was fine. She took our drink orders but not sure what order of direction she was going but she skipped me at first and I was sitting in the middle. I thought she purposely avoided me until I just stared at her to take my order. I ordered the Sakura spritz and it was super refreshing on a hot day. Thought the blue pea flower tea ice cubes was really clever! We then placed our food order, and undeniably, food here is good. Is it the best sushi in ATL? Nope but it was really good and fresh. I ordered the calamari kaarage (perfectly fried but they used panko and it was too heavy - couldn't eat more than 2 pieces), uni hand roll (whopping $32 just because it's uni. It was delicious though and you get quite a decent amount) and the negitoro maki (served with 6 pieces, it was okay and nothing memorable about it. Unfortunately, this place only gets 3 stars for me because of their service. It was a real bummer since the birthday girl got her sushi roll last. It wasn't a special roll either - quite literally 2 other people had ordered it but for some reason she didn't get hers at the same time as everyone else did. They did offer a free birthday dessert. In addition, it was warm in that restaurant. I was told their AC was broken so it was warm. I would not recommend this restaurant for big groups, definitely more of a date night kind of place. read more

Everything was great! The only thing that bothered me was Emet (however you spell his name). Was just trying to direct him to the correct remote for the TVs cause he was interrupting our tv thinking it was working for his tv. Gave me a nasty response when I was literally trying to be nice saying it works for all the TVs, SIR when clearly it wasn't. He frustrated that it wasn't working on his tv but still disturbing ours, he slammed the remote on the bar and left. Literally everything was great except him. He needs a crash course on customer service and how to talk to customers. If he apologizes through here I'll bring the rating to a 5 star. read more

Everything was super yummy except for the green cocktail which we sent back because it had a weird aftertaste. I swapped it for the rose, which was much better. The vibe was clean and modern, very cute spot on the beltline. Standouts: lobster and salmon roll, the lemongrass chicken gyoza, calamari and snow crab kaarage ... super unique flavors that I haven't experienced before. read more

Yuji is such a beautiful dining experience. The sushi is incredibly fresh, prepared right in front of you with a level of care and precision that feels like art in motion. Every bite is clean, balanced, and full of flavor. You can truly taste the craftsmanship and respect for the ingredients. It's elegant yet relaxed -- the kind of place that reminds you why you fell in love with sushi in the first place. read more

The salmon nigiri had to be my fave but anything you choose will be good! I will be back whenever I visit ATL! read more

Obsessed with Yuji, Alex Kinjo's newest sushi spot on the Atlanta Beltline. The nigiri is clean, fresh, and balanced with perfectly seasoned rice. The Sakura Spritz completely stole the show.

One of those drinks you order because it's pretty and end up loving because it actually tastes incredible read more

The vibe and decor is really pretty and comfortable. The service was very good, the manager even came over to chat about what we liked and what could be improved. She comped our dessert because she needed our table for the next reservation. The seafood bisque was amazing, but might come off the menu until the weather gets cold again. The miso black cod was delicious and the lobster salmon roll was amazing. The maki rolls were a really good price, though I do think most of the specialty rolls sounded pretty basic for the price. The ube cheesecake was good (and I don't even like cheesecake). The cocktails were solid as well. It was a little loud but we had a lot of fun. read more

Sunday afternoon chill day date and what a perfect spot to be. Location is right in the belt line by Krog Market. Next to Brash coffee with an amazing out door bar where you can enjoy the weather sheltered. We went around 3pm and the main restaurant doesn't open until 5pm however the out door bar is open all day with a small menu of fried dumplings, hamburger, edamame etc.... We had those 3 items to share and it was delicious the pre-made cocktails are delicious and on tap and they are good! Definately will go back and sit in the main dining area read more

I came for lunch on a Sunday. The inside area was really cold So we opted to sit outside. when you sit outside, you order at the bar and then your food is brought to you. We decided to sit at the bar to avoid some of this. We ordered the sangria which is freshly made and it was really good. It came in a plastic cup. That is something about the drinks outside. They generally come in plastic cups. We ordered the tempura lobster appetizer. I wouldn't order it again. It was covered with a lot of sauce. I almost couldn't even find the lobster. My friend ordered the gyoza. It was just okay, it was deep fried and it just didn't taste fresh but frozen. I ordered the spicy tuna roll. It didn't come with a side of wasabi or ginger but when I asked for it, it was easily brought to us with plenty of it. The roll was really good.I definitely would order it again. Overall, I definitely would come to ug again.I want to try some of the other rolls and the ramen and some of the other drinks.It's a great atmosphere. read more

Thank you to Savannah and the Yuji team! I saw reviews and figured it may be hit or miss but much like other reviews I had a great experience and I am really excited to come back! We sat at the 360 bar inside and had a beautiful view of the restaurant and outside bar. Sake to start, shishito peppers and mushroom on robata grill were a great light start to our meal. Chef's choice tuna sampler followed up my salmon hand roll and spicy salmon maki. Instantly added Yuji to my rotation for Inman park and off the belt line! Great food, drinks and service! read more

We have eaten at Yuji multiple times since it is a 5 minute walk from our house. We enjoy the drinks and the sushi. It's very good!! You are going to pay Beltline prices, but that is everywhere on the line. The reason for 3 stars is because of their service. Hostess' act as if you are bothering them. More importantly, do NOT let them sit you where Kyle is your server. He is slow, and only pays attention to his big tables. My wife and I ate there recently. It took him 20 minutes just to bring us water and get our order of drinks. Another employee brought our drinks because they had been sitting at the bar. We could see them. This happened twice. Another 20 to come back and get our food order. We went ahead and ordered everything we wanted because we weren't sure when he would come back. That was our experience the whole night. Then, he added money to his tip. It was only a few dollars so not easy to spot when using a credit card. If he did this to all of his tables, he would dramatically increase his tips. Again, food and drinks are good. DO NOT let Kyle serve you, and check your bill. read more

First time in Atlanta and I wanted to try sushi. I chose Yuji from Yelp due to the good reviews and ratings. The atmosphere of the restaurant was friendly and inviting, with tons of sake! If I was taking my wife on a date or going out with friends, this would be a great place to go. My server Jordyn was very friendly, courteous and made my dining experience great! She recommended the Tuna Spoons with truffles and at first I was hesitant, but after trying it, oh my goodness! It was delicious! I never would've thought I would like truffle on sushi, but this was amazing. The second part of my meal, I tried the Otoro nigiri, which was some of the freshest fish I have ever had, I've eaten it fresh caught off the boat in Hawaii and this tasted even better! The owner Alex Kinjo came in and was very friendly and I could tell he was very serious about his restaurant, cleaning up and helping his employees. Overall, the dinner was fantastic and I am so glad that I tried Yuji! I would recommend this place to anybody who loves Sushi or if you wanna try Sushi out! read more

I had a really great time here, the nigiri and sashimi is good. I tried this place out because it was MF sushi's sister and I love mf sushi!!! Their fish quality is really good, I like the way they age the fish. I love the otoro and salmon belly here. They do sell similar food items like the crab miso soup which was delicate and sweet, but what I really enjoyed was the Tokyo roll and the nigiri sashimi's. For the otoro it has a garlic crisp on top which was so yummy! And the salmon belly sashimi, they seared it perfectly! I also got the yuzu ginger drink (the one with the pandas aftertaste) and I enjoyed it. One thing that I was a little off about was that I ordered chutoro and otoro nigiri but I feel like I received the toro and chutoro nigiri instead. It's okay though! The service was really good and the ambiance was so modern and cute. The environment is great for girl's night or a date! I will be coming back!! read more

Yuji is set in a great location along the beltline. They built this area up really quickly and it's some of the only sushi around for miles. I ate here once before and enjoyed their calamari. The hand rolls I had were only ok as far as fish quality went, but I came back today to give it another try. Let's face it... Yuji is subpar at best The calamari was tough today and we ordered it twice and we had to fight through each bite. Tuna maki roll (6pcs) - reminded me of the tuna hand roll I had before coming back. Lack luster and just ok. Salmon maki (6pcs) - better than the tuna. We enjoyed it. Otoro Tuna Nigiri (2pcs) - this was by far the most disappointing thing we ordered. At $21 for 2 pieces, the otoro tuna was inedible. I love tuna and especially otoro, this raw fish tasted like it had been frozen and thawed several times and even appeared a bit brown on the edges. I'm sensitive to raw fish textures and this one was just not good. I spat it out. And it sucks because the taste after spitting was still pretty good, but I could not chew it. read more
