The food was exquisite and the service impecable. A wide variety of things to choose from and there is something for everyone.
The food was fabulous - a lot of it too. There were food items in the menu that I would not have known could be cooked by hibachi, the variety was really great. The service even better. A fabulous experience.
Simply the best authentic Japanese restaurant in Atlanta. I have taken several Japanese colleagues, expatriates and customers to this restaurant...always top notch, very attentive service and delicious food choices to experience numerous Japanese dishes. Highly recommended!
I always enjoy this place! Never been let down! I recommend people here all the time!
Absolutely the best waitress and customer care. The food was absolutely great!

I've been going here monthly for about 15 years. The sushi is always consistent & outstanding!!! Best sushi in Atlanta, hands down!!!!!
The best hibachi place, ever the food is great!!!!!
I was ridding with a friend and we decided we wanted to eat hibachi, we stoped at benihana but they had a two hour wait so we went to Google and found this place which was a better choice..... Everything was good
When you make a reservation, you don’t have to wait to be seated. The food is amazing and the portions more than justify the price. We enjoyed our date night and had food leftover for the next day! �
My favorite restaurant in Atlanta! Always go there to celebrate special occasions. Sometimes it's just the right place to enjoy a wonderful meal and visit with friends.
This is a great spot. I’ve been going here for years. Their sushi is fresh but I go for the shabu which is a fun dish to share and has great dipping sauces which I’m a fan of but the sushi is really good too so you can’t go wrong
You can find Nakato at 1776 Cheshire Bridge Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 near the corner of Cheshire Bridge Rd and Piedmont Rd - the main entry is on Cheshire Bridge where you can valet, or there's an overflow lot on Piedmont where you can park and walk through Nakato's beautiful Japanese gardens. I'm hesitant to write about Nakato - how do you review an institution?
I had the Pleasure of enjoying your Take-Out service amazing staff!! The food stayed fresh on the 20 minute ride home. Super impressed 1st time visitor My husband and I will return for sure!
Thank You! Absolutely Amazing!!
I've been dining here since the late 70's and Nakato's is consistently great! just recently had sushi there for the first time and it was exceptional. They also have early bird specials if you're on a budget.
This restaurant is the best!!! I had my birthday here and everything was so nice! :)
Great. Always good food at Nakato, I can bring my whole family here and always feel welcome. Always great food and service

Delicious food and a comfortable environment! The "McCartney" Roll was to die for!
Dragon Slayer Roll!. Every time I get sushi, I always get my fave, dragon roll or sushi with eel and avocado and lemme tell this place tops all the places I have been to and it's been a lot. Price is worth it too. Love this!
This place was great. Food was fantastic, hell ova wine list and how can you not love the onion volcano!
To make it clear, Nakato’s menu is 7 pages long, full of appetizers and entrees, sushi, hibachi favorites and of course, the one pot dishes. I’ve been to Nakato twice. Both times I had nabemono. Once it was shabu-shabu, and perhaps yosenabe the second tim
Birthday dinner at this location with my family. The waitress was very nice and friendly. The chef was funny and entertaining!! The food was okay … I was kind of disappointed. I had the hibachi steak and scallops which were okay!! The decor was very nice. Our favorite part was the video/picture area. That was fun and different
I've had sushi all over the world, including in Japan, and the food here is just about the best I've ever had. The specials for the sushi and the mushrooms were one in a million, great Bento menu, and incredible selection of fish. This is a place I'd come back to again and again!!
The hospitality is good..service with a smile. Although pricey for a habachi grill the portion size on the lobster and steak are the biggest I have ever experienced...8 oz for both. The shrimp were the best quality I have ever seen at hibachi. So you definitely get what you pay for. Now for the seasoning...I'm a extra garlic butter on everything type chic and even with that the food lacked salt. So if you like that heavy handed southern seasoning...remember this is a Japanese restaurant sooo bring some salt packets. Oh I forgot they will serve browned fried rice if you ask...which was a first for me...usually only steamed.
Great service and great food! Everything starting from the valet to the drinks to the hibachi was good! Loved the atmosphere and the service and the pricing wasn’t bad
$150 for two people including 4 alcoholic drinks and an appetizer
Will definitely be back

Not what it use to be. I'm disappointed for that matter because this restaurant isn't around the corner from us. I want it to be worth the inconvenience of the travel. It use to be. For some reason they only give you a small amount of vegetables. If you're vegetarian, it frustrating. It is what it is. Plus the price is higher than what it use to be. The shows are basic now. The experience isn't what you expect from hibachi anymore. It went from being great to okay in my opinion.
*******************UPDATE****************
After my review I was contacted by Debbie about my response. My experience was not the reputation and integrity of the services and quality of food they offer. Saddened by my review I was asked for a redo. I thought on it and decided to take them up on their offer. In the past I've had a terrific experience so they were worth another attempt. When I tell you....we completely enjoyed ourselves, we did indeed! The food was amazing and service was phenomenal. There's not too many businesses that stand by their product. Restaurants forgot about the customer experience. Repeat business is how your success in this industry. I really appreciate everyone at Nakato for leaving a great impression on my family and I. Making it right and ensuring they've met our expectations means a lot. We'll be back and we'll be sure to share our feedback with others!

You can get hibachi at a lot of places but what sets this place apart is the overall great food and the delicious garlic noodles. A lot of times the vegetables at Hibachi are very hard and can taste undercooked, but these vegetables are cooked to perfection. Everything we ordered was delicious, we were a party of seven so that included a variety of all of their options. They have a great sushi selection. They offer the traditional Asian seating on the floor where you take your shoes off, or the Hibachi area, or table and chair service and see you. They have a delicious Moscato if wine is your thing along with a list of many other spirits. Will definitely be going back. The traditional salad and soup that is served is better than most, the salad is better anyway. I believe you can attribute that to the fresh ginger salad dressing, I happen to love ginger. The soup is pretty standard but everything else is definitely better than the other Hibachi places I've visited, and I've visited several.
This is THE BEST hibachi in town!!! Jianelle greeted us at the door, and I already knew it was gonna be a great experience. Our chef was Tim - he was just UH-mazing!!! Unlike a loooot of hibachi chefs, Tim cooks with passion, that’s why his food was just so wonderful! He was also funny as hell. Cheng was our waiter, he was SO well-mannered with true Asian etiquettes, and the service he provided was absolutely top notch. Make sure you come on over and have a great time here at Nakato!!!
Great food options, can do hibachi and everything from the menu. There are semi private hibachi rooms that can host up to 20 people. Service is excellent. Sachi (I think she runs the family business) is super helpful and very accommodating to our needs for our private event. Will definitely come back. Highly recommended.
We came back for non-hibachi dinner. It was excellent and worth the price. We had combination dinner, Waygu beef bell pepper, some rolls, and Kaisen don. The don was expensive ($80) but worth the money and has uni, toro, and a bunch of specialty fish. I chose this over the Chirashi bowl ($55).
Such a great experience. Didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat us at the sushi bar. Intimate vibe even at the sushi bar. The drinks were wonderful! The sushi was perfect and our server was kind, quick and accurate. I can't say enough good things about the experience.
We had a great time celebrating a friends birthday. It was perfect for a large group. The service was impeccable! They were very very efficient and attentive. The food was also fantastic. I would highly recommend and a look forward to coming back.
As an often repeat customer I must say Justin has outstanding service. He is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. If you sit on the dining/sushi side request to sit with Justin! He made our date night very pleasant!
Awesome place! The staff is super friendly and very expressive in there Japanese tradition which to me is what made the experience totally special. Our server gave us hand towels when we arrived to clean our hands and would even bow after every interaction with us. The food was absolutely delicious! Authentic! And free valet parking.
