Nakato Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar

25 Classic Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"If walls could talk, Nakato’s traditional tatami-style private salon would tell the tales of many rowdy birthday celebrations. The Buckhead hibachi is always filled with couples and groups, and has been for the past 40 years. That’s because service is quick and the show (with knife skills and fiery bursts) is entertaining. And then, of course, the food never disappoints. Shrimp tempura is golden and fluffy. Garlic noodles have just the right kick. The steak is cooked to the appropriate sizzle. Sure, hibachi is hibachi, but there isn’t a cooler dining experience so close to a dancing flame." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
