Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Marietta

"The Eight Sushi Lounge takes a modern approach to both not-so traditional and traditional dishes in an inviting space on the Westside of Atlanta. Eight Sushi Lounge aims to elevate the creation of sushi to an art form, taking a contemporary and innovative approach to sashimi, makis, sushi, and other Japanese specialities. Customers can dine on fresh sushi and other interesting menu options, such as miso-glazed steak and scallops seared with wasabi and sesame oil, in the dining room or outside on the restaurant’s patio."

"West Midtown folks really are blessed with some of the finest restaurants in town, and Eight Sushi is up there in terms of sushi and just overall excellence. Order the tuna crisp appetizer, topped with truffle oil, which smells and tastes heavenly with the umami popping off with every bite. They’re a chic date night spot, with a hip and trendy ambiance, and they’ve got a patio too if you’re more comfortable dining al fresco at this time."

"From elevated ingredients to creative presentation, it’s all about the art of expression at Eight Sushi Lounge, which fits perfectly in the trendy, West Midtown landscape. Explore innovative sushi rolls, iced-out platters of nigiri and sashimi or opt for the revered A5 wagyu."

"In a city that likes its sushi joints to have sex appeal (see: Umi), Sushi Hayakawa is a conservative outlier. Set in a strip mall on Atlanta’s Buford Highway, Sushi Hayakawa has simple green walls, a smattering of tables, and a thick wooden sushi bar. Behind that bar is chef Atsushi Hayakawa, his signature red towel rolled around his head, slicing chunks of abalone flown in from Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market."

"Chef Atsushi Hayakawa’s Buford Highway sushi house continues to dominate Atlanta’s sushi scene. Reservations are required and should be made well in advance; especially for those who want to watch Chef Hayakawa prepare dinner himself. The two-and-a-half hour honkaku omakase is a one-on-one, 14-course sushi extravaganza with the chef — a must for any sushi lover."

"DoravilleBuford Highway may not be the place you’d expect to find a high-end sushi bar. But really, it makes perfect sense: it’s tucked away from the hordes of Midtown and Buckhead, mostly frequented by Japanese families seeking authenticity. Go here for the real deal."

"BuckheadIf you have friends who won’t eat real sushi, Katana is the perfect group spot; it has an extensive teppanyaki menu, which is basically a fancy word for hibachi. Think filet mignon, sea bass, and organic chicken cooked tableside."

"Gyu-Kaku Japenese BBQ opened in Midtown’s Atlantic Station in January 2019 and is a tasteful option for those seeking Asian food. The restaurant is located in the space formerly occupied by Copeland’s Bistro. The Korean barbecue restaurant allows patrons to grill their own meats at their seat."

"This social dining experience focuses on yakiniku, a type of Japanese barbecue grill. Guests each have a barbecue in the middle ..."

"Owned and operated by chef Jason Liang, Brush Izakaya in downtown Decatur offers some of the most beautifully prepared (and presented) sushi in the Atlanta area. Order the omakase which begins with otsumani or small bites followed by 15 pieces of nigiri. The nigiri courses progress from lighter white fish and to fish with much stronger flavors like bluefin tuna or chub mackerel."

"Located in downtown Decatur, this gem feels like a neighborhood pub, but one that just happens to specialize in quality sushi and sake, not burgers and pints. Stop by on Friday or Saturday nights from 7 p.m. on for the omakase service, which includes small bites plus 15 pieces of nigiri and an optional wine or sake pairing."

"Located in Decatur, Brush promises simple flavors prepared with modern techniques. Stop by and enjoy a crab, tuna or eel roll. Website: Brush Sushi Izakaya"

"A rotating set of food trucks is featured at this outstandingly named brewery. Their beer names back up the theme, with the Double Jeopardy and Hooligan. Brewmaster Travis Herman and founder Matt Shirah have got a great thing going with Scofflaw Brewing."

"A post shared by Scofflaw Brewing Co. (@scofflawbeer) on Jan 31, 2020 at 9:05am PST. Here’s what one reviewer says about Scofflaw Brewing: “One of the best breweries in Atlanta. Always have a great time whenever I come."

"The highly rated 18,000-square-foot brewery in the Bolton area has a taproom that is open daily. Enjoy Scofflaw's popular Basement IPA at one of their events like yoga classes."

"Its SweetWater 420 is the standard for Atlanta craft beer, but it doesn’t rest on its laurels (don’t blame every barbecue and get-together for having 420, because it’s delicious). Even if you’ve tried all of SweetWater’s standard offerings, the brewery is always worth a visit thanks to the Woodlands, an experimental barrel-aged and sour beer-focused brewery. Where: 195 Ottley Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324"

"Sweetwater is the OG in town, founded in 1997 by two college buddies inspired by the beers they'd had in Colorado. Their ever-expanding taproom is where you can get their well-known beers as well as ones only found here. They also have events throughout the year like music festivals and river cleanups."

"SweetWater brewery has been makin’ tasty brews in the heart of the south since 1997. What started as a pipe dream of two college buddies has turned into a dream job full of great adventures and lip-smackin’ beers. What would you expect from a couple of boys with ..."

"Scofflaw’s original 18,000 square-foot facility and a tasting room, located in the Bolton neighborhood, is still a favorite among locals and westside residents, much like the POG Basement IPA. Now the brewery has a second location nearby at the Works in Underwood Hills. Currently open Thursday through Sunday, Dr. Scofflaws includes a huge rectangular bar of taps offering the brewery’s standards and special releases. Grab a seat on the outdoor patio featuring the jagged remains of an old brick wall, outdoor heaters, and games."

"Crawfish Shack Seafood is a casual Cajun-style restaurant that serves fresh seafood and Cajun food with a Vietnamese twist. The menu consists of dishes prepared with fresh seasonal seafood delivered daily, including boiled, steamed or Cajun-style cooked whole fish, shrimp, mussels, and crab as well as a variety of po'boys, served on crispy Gambino's French bread and dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, Boar's Head pickle, and remoulade sauce. If you can't decide what to have, simply have it all with the signature Shack-Tastic Platters, which come with crawfish, blue crab, Cajun boiled, or steamed snow crab, mussels, shrimp, Andouille sausage, corn, and red potatoes."

"A casual dining option, Crawfish Shack Seafood serves Cajun-style seafood with a Vietnamese twist. The large menu features whole fish, crab, shrimp, mussels, and many other seafood ingredients cooked in a variety of ways with Cajun and Vietnamese flavors. If you can’t make up your mind what to choose from the extensive menu, then try one of the signature platters to try a range of the dishes they have on offer."

"Owner Hieu Pham serves Louisiana seafood classics that incorporate a hint of Vietnamese cuisine. Delicious, somewhat unorthodox po’ boys and succulent, angry-red boiled crawfish go down easily. Neighborhood: Brookhaven, Northeast Metro"

"The Blue Ridge Grill has long been considered one of Atlanta, Georgia’s top restaurants, setting a standard in Buckhead for style. Paying a homage to Southern heritage and the Blue Ridge Mountains, signature dishes at the Blue Ridge Grill include hickory-grilled rib-eye steak, iron skillet-seared mussels, and grilled Georgia Trout. Along with main dining room, customers can relax before or after dinner at the bar or the enclosed porch."
