    I’ve been coming to Nakato for over a decade and today was just as phenomenal as previous visits! The service was outstanding and the food was exceptional. We ordered a wide variety of dishes and each one was prepared with incredible attention to detail and flavor. The sushi was fresh and artfully presented, especially the chef’s special tuna cheek, which was a standout. The tempura was light and crispy, and the miso-glazed black cod practically melted in our mouths. Even the simple dishes, like the miso soup and house salad, were elevated by the quality of ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Nakato continues to be a perfect blend of tradition and innovation — a true gem that never disappoints. Thank you everyone for a beautiful evening and memorable experience. :)

    I’ve been going to Nakato since it opened as the first Japanese restaurant in Atlanta and commend them on maintaining the highest level of quality and authenticity ever since.
