Atlanta's Best Kid-Friendly Restaurants - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"When you need a meal that will unglue little eyes from their tablets, hit the hibachi grill at The Orient. With 12 grill stations in the back of the enormous Japanese restaurant in Cumberland, there’s a good chance you can walk in (even on a Friday night). But if there is a wait, your kids can join the swarm of others dropping fish pellets into the koi pond near the entrance. Your kids might even forget to bug you amid the onion volcanoes and shrimp tossing showmanship. The Orient’s solid and reasonably priced surf and turf combos (starting at $30) should motivate the adults to consider replacing a few monthly pizza nights with hibachi." - demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
