Bishoku

Such a cute sushi spot! Little details like the napkins, house made soy sauce, and comfy couches for seating. The rolls were delicious! We tried a double shrimp, a rainbow roll and some sashimi. Everything was fresh and tasty!! And you get a complimentary dessert at the end. I had chocolate mousse. It was very yummy!

This is an amazing sushi restaurant! The soft shell crab tempura was sooo good, and loved the cucumber salad and crab roll. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting, with a sushi bar in the middle and cozy alcoves for seating. Plus, dessert is complimentary. My sister has been coming here for years, this was my first time and I highly recommend!!

First timer. Was in the mood for sushi and it was right near the office. Walked in right after 5p so it was still quiet. No wait. Nice ambiance and decor. Chill vibe. Sandy Springs roll (spicy tuna) was to die for! Also had a great crunchy crab roll. My sweet server brought me a sweet treat on the house. Will definitely visit again soon with a date.

Delicious sushi and we had our wonderful server Em who gave us great recommendations! The seared salmon nigiri is a must and the salmon sashimi is delicious as well. Delicious lychee martinis too!

This place has amazing service and food! Their sushi is always so fresh and delicious, and there’s a great variety on their menu. I love the owner who makes you feel so welcome. My family come here frequently and are so grateful this restaurant is near our home! Love this place, you cannot go wrong coming here!

I never leave reviews but I felt so compelled to leave one after my experience here tonight. We did not have reservations, but they still accommodated us even though they were very busy. The service was excellent and you can tell that everyone works well together as a team. We were offered complementary dessert and I’m not sure if that is a thing for everyone but we really appreciated it! Everyone welcomes you and wishes you goodbye as you leave. Highly highly recommend!

This was an incredible experience. Food was fabulous- quality was superb. Service- made us feel welcome, we will be coming back. Thanks to the owner for her care and attention to detail, and never letting a customer walk away without a smile!!

the food and setting was lovely but our server, Emily, was absolutely fabulous. I can’t wait to go back and try more items. My Ahi tuna was delicious and my girlfriend’s fried oysters, were reportedly great..

Oh my goodness! Everything was amazing-- service, ambiance , and especially the food! We had been there once before on a busy weekend night- without reservations-- and the staff found l us a lovely table without rushing us in the process. Bishoku is a gem: the waitstaff is lovely and so helpful! The second time we came, we asked our server for her suggestion for an appetizer, and she informed us that "hands down" their most popular dish was the tuna and salmon with roe over crispy rice cakes. This dish is --wow!! I'm still thinking about what an epic combination of flavors it is: sweet and savory, crunchy and silky. It is also a work of art. (See below ) The other entrees and soups were delicious as well, including a simple miso presented in a wooden bowl which , my husband pronounced, was "the best miso soup " he'd ever had. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, as was the soft shell crab entree. This time we had no dessert, but the staff offers a free small sweet dessert and the end of the meal. Can't wait to go back-- and bring our friends!!

Found this gem via yelp and it did not disappoint. Fresh sushi, cute ambiance, great service, delicious rolls.

Awesome dining experience at Bishoku. The Hakkainsan sake was delicious. Nigiri was fresh. I ordered the Sandy Springs roll and it was divine! Absolutely would get again. Service was excellent too. Loved the furniture in the restaurant. It was a fantastic experience and I am looking forward to visiting again.

Everything at this location is terrific. The food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere. I especially want to commend the service. The folks who run this restaurant are extremely friendly and very helpful. So many restaurants these days lack even decent customer service. But not Bishoku. The service alone makes me want to come back. But the sushi is also fantastic. Our server even recommended a role that wasn't on the menu and it was great.

Had a lovely solo dinner here on a Saturday night. The restaurant was full, but the staff was super friendly and attentive. I sat at the sushi bar and watched the chef carefully prepare the sushi orders. They also have a full menu of kitchen appetizers and cooked options. I ordered the miso eggplant appetizer. It was a lot for one person, but was definitely tasty. I think it would make a delicious entree with rice as well. I had the Chirashi for my entree. The presentation was beautiful, and the fish was fresh and delicious. They give a complementary dessert of your choice, and I had the house made chocolate mousse. It was the perfect bite to end the meal. I will definitely be back!

This restaurant has been named the best in Sandy Springs. I really can't believe I never tried this little gem before. It really is all that and more. My daughter and I went with the sushi rolls. I had the Sandy Springs roll. Crispy tuna role topped with spicy tuna. Very good. I also had the fried oysters appetizer also very nice. I brought a Teriyaki Salmon dinner home to my wife and it too was very good as well. After the food and the very good service, the main takeaway was it is a very welcoming, comfortable place. They have this very warm, comfortable bar as well that I plan on visiting next time I'm eating alone. I am embarrassed I never tried this place before. It deserves to be ranked as one of Sandy Springs' really special places. I'm looking forward to visiting again.

If you want the best sushi in Sandy Springs - look no further than Bishoku. Excellent food, absolutely friendly service and the owner Jackie makes you feel like family. I highly recommend the crispy rice appetizer and the Jackie's roll.

Best sushi in Atlanta - definitely try the Terry Roll! Outstanding! Service is great as well

Excellent taste, bit high priced. Excellent service. Prices listed on the website are much less than in restaurant charges. Ie:nabeyaki udon 14.50 vs 18.50. Take sashimi 28 95 vs 33.95 Best sashimi I've had since before pandemic. Miso and udon soup very flavorable! Shrimp gyoza wow taste. Complimented owner/mgr on good tasting food, but Chicken teriyaki was small portion. She explained it was more like appetizer size. Complimentary small cake desserts. Will be back periodically, but not as often

We enjoyed the decor just as much as the ambiance in this establishment, jazz played as we enter the building with a lighting that elegantly set an amazing mood for us. As our table was set we were directed to a quaint bar to the left of the main entrance, as we approached the bar we were once again greeting by the bar keep who provided us with excellent service. The food was amazing from the appetizers to the entrees and rolls. Everything we ordered was delicious and filling. We will certainly recommend to friends and will be back to try new items on the menu. Easily our new favorite sushi spot! We went to celebrate a birthday, we found a place well most definitely become regulars of.

What a lovely restaurant in the middle of the plaza I've never been to before. every dish was super and very fresh. miso soup has lots of taste to it. a bit pricey, nice atmosphere, even with the tables as close to each other there is no blasting music, so it's reasonable to have a conversation. Great service

2 hours of almost nonexistent service and sour attitudes from staff put a stain on an otherwise tasty dinner. We were a party of 3 coming together to cheer up a friend who had recently lost a loved one. One of my friends enthusiastically recommended this place, which she frequented before the pandemic. The restaurant was quaint and felt like an ideal place to unwind and forget about our troubles, even if just for a short while. We were seated promptly at 6 pm at a corner table near the front with a window view. From that point on, the evening took a bizarre turn. We felt rushed to order. I appreciated our server coming over promptly to take our order; however, we let her know that a couple of us were first timers there and needed time to review the menu. She proceeded to try and take our order several more times just minutes apart before we were ready. Our waitress then walked away, and we never saw her again. We waited about 10-15 minutes and flagged someone down, who turned out to be one of the owners, and asked to place our order. The positives -- the food came out in a timely manner, was well-executed, and a man refilled our waters before we noticed the need for more. I especially enjoyed the Agedashi Tofu and the Nasu Karashi (grilled eggplant cooked in house miso sauce). The eggplant came with three wooden spoons for sharing, and you could see the steam escape from the hot, fleshy tender eggplant. Unfortunately, aside from the water, we received zero attention from the staff, much less our initial server, to see if we needed anything, were interested in dessert or were ready for the check. When we flagged down one of the staff members to ask a question, he looked annoyed and stood 6+ feet away expecting us to tell him what we needed from a distance. When we asked another young lady if she could tell us who our server, she was unfriendly and said 'well, the owner took your order, right?'. A non-answer to our question as we were looking to order dessert and get some basic service. She rattled off dessert choices, and her attitude was the reason I passed on any sweet treats. I try to be understanding in these scenarios when staff are serving a full house; however, the complete disregard and staff attitude made this experience my first and final visit.

This is a hole in the wall restaurant. This shopping center is next to a busy intersection and is adjacent to a Chipotle. The shopping center looks like it was built in the 80-90s and could definitely help with a power wash. Restaurant is packed for no reason likely because there are higher concentration of people in this area. I have been to many Japanese restaurant (Japanese owned) in the area and Michelin starred in New York and LA, and this place is overpriced for no particular reason. Just having some dim fluorescent lights don't make a restaurant high end or using towel to wrap your chopsticks. I ordered a take 10 (10 small piece of sashimi) that came with no salad or soup and two rolls approximately 20 each. The total plus tip (20% on the machine is really 22% due to post tax calculation) came out to $100+. We waited for about 45-55 minutes for just these rolls and a 10 piece sashimi. The pictures attached are what we ordered you judge for yourself. Sushi mito, circle sushi, Mf sushi, ginya, Hayakawa, Tanaka seem to be better priced and have better services. Sushi is acceptable at best at least it wasn't fishy.

A Hidden Gem! I found this spot, while looking for dinner late one evening. It's cutely nestled in the same plaza as Cinema Springs Taphouse. What struck straight away, was the tranquil, jazz vibe and demure lighting. My server was very attentive, and helpful in my menu selections, as well & the FRESHNESS of the sushi raises the bar, IMHO, for other area sushi restaurants! My selections arrived very quickly, and left to savor them, my palate was in heaven! And lest we forget the ample wine selection, which is sure to please varied tastes. All in all, Bishoku is perfect for friends-catching-up... to couples dates. I'll definitely return to try some of their other fare and would highly recommend.

Easy Parking . Intimate dining room plus First Class sushi. Incredible service even though they were busy . Strong drinks from a friendly bartender. The most comfortable seating in town . Excellent find !

Our favorite neighborhood sushi restaurant! Been going with my kids for years and the staff is the best! Noriko gives little treats to the girls for dessert and we love her :)

I liked 2 of the rolls I had at Bishoku, but one was just okay. The ones we liked were Heavenly ($15.95) and Jackie's ($15.95). The one I could've done without was the Husney ($20.95). The sauce that came with it was interesting. I think there is better sushi in the area.

We found this place for sushi in Sandy Springs, Georgia! We had the 20 piece sashimi, it was a chef special picks, so you really don't know exactly what you get! The pieces were too thick! We had spicy salmon roll, shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura! The shrimp tempura was good but expected a little larger, the flavor was good! The spicy salmon roll was pretty tasty and had just the right amount of rice! The service was great!

Good food and location. Only ordered takeout, but I will be coming back in the near future.

We decided to try Bishoku on a a Thursday night at around 7:50pm. We were seated promptly without a reservation but that was the end of the good experience. It wasn't super crowded but the service was soooo slow. It took our waitress at least 15 minutes to ask if we wanted a drink but by that time we were ready to order. I asked the waitress what the crunchy shrimp roll was and I didn't really get an explanation. When it came out I was surprised to find it was panko bread crumbs wrapped in rice with a thin piece of cooked shrimp on top. It did not taste good and the texture was disappointing. I asked for a different sushi roll instead (the double shrimp) with avocado added since I've never had sushi with nothing but the fish in it. The second roll tasted better but came out with no avocado. The waitress also seemed extremely annoyed and short. We felt that more attention was paid to the larger parties or the parties that had ordered more food. The chicken teriyaki took 40 minutes to come out which seemed pretty long given the number of tables sat (4 max). It was a nice sized potion but it seemed a bit unreasonable to charge $3 for a side of plain steamed rice. Our waitress brought out complimentary small slices of chocolate cake at the end which was a nice surprise. I'm not sure if this is standard or because she realized we were unhappy with the experience. Overall, we wouldn't return. I think there are better Japanese restaurants in the area, especially for sushi.

Got take out and food was amazing. Will add to the review when we go back to eat inside.

Really enjoyed dinner here. NIGIRI We loved all the nigiri we got from the sushi bar. We got toro tuna, salmon, hamachi, and sweet shrimp. All were fresh and delicious, sushi rice also good. SPECIAL MENU ROLLS they were apparently very popular with the dinner guests all around us, so we ordered two rolls. The DUO SALMON and the POV rolls. Both were very mediocre and i would do without them next time, and just spend the money on nigiri and sashimi. AGEDASHI TOFU i get agedashi tofu wherever i see it and this didn't disappoint. It's light, yummy and the tofu was soft and delicious, but fried nicely on the outside. I would get this again, and dipping other things into the sauce is yummy too!

The ambiance is amazing! Somehow it fits both casual but also nice? The service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious and so fresh.

This place was great! We came without a reservation & were seated pretty quickly at the sushi bar. Seating was comfy, service was pretty quick & the food was tasty! Lots of free parking. Will definitely be back!

The service was exceptional and very friendly. The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. This place has a family friendly atmosphere that is very inviting.

You will meet the nicest people you have ever met! (the owners of the restaurant) never disappointed!

We visited this restaurant for the second time tonight. It's a great place and we can't wait to go back! The rolls are good, the beef teriyaki was tender and the sauce was delicious. The ambiance is fantastic and all the staff is so friendly. Would highly recommend making a reservation unless you are walking in early in the evening. Also, the lychee martini is a must!

Overpriced for no good reason. The inside of the restaurant isn't particularly glamorous - the sushi menu was just a piece of paper in black and white small font with sushi options in a long list and the cloth napkins looked like dishrags your cleaners would use. I've seen nicer menus at Chinese takeout restaurants. Sushi rolls were all at least $16. I got 2 that were at the $20 price point (can't remember the names). They were good but not worth $20 per roll and certainly didn't feel worth the experience since the restaurant didn't feel particularly nice. I've had better sushi at a better price point.

Been wanting to visit here for 2 years now and finally decided to try their sushi. The selection of good sushi in this state is lacking so I had zero expectations. Upon walking in, we were greeted right away. We deciding whether to do the bar or table and the hostess guided us to the best seats in the quietest area. It's like she knew us! Lol. We had a little cozy corner booth and the ambiance of the area was so cute. Oh and she was super friendly and all smiles. We order the smoked salmon special, udon, beef teriyaki, an assortment of nigiri, sashimi and white rice. Normally I don't like smoked salmon but we went for it and so glad we did. The salmon had a hint of smokiness and was absolutely delightful! The caviar on top was a great compliment. Finally a legit sushi spot.

I normally don't give five stars after the first visit but this place hit so many marks and once again I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner even though Ive lived in the area for several years. It's located in the same plaza as chipotle, Egg Harbor Cafe, Catch Air and a ton of other places right off of exit 25 from 285. It's a very elegant space which I absolutely didn't expect because it's in a strip of several other businesses including subway and phone repair shop and you can't see much from the outside. When you walk in it's low lighting with a cute little flower vase on each table and partitions between tables. It's not a place for big crowds but for a date night or a girls night it's perfect! Also there's more than enough parking so you'll have no trouble finding it with that which is always a plus. Every single staff person is friendly and straight to the point. It took almost no time for our food to come out once we ordered. A friend and I went and tried four different roles between us - hamachi, crunchy salmon, Jackie's and the Sandy Springs roll. Everything was amazing! I'm actually shocked by how fresh the food tasted. It's not always easy to come by good quality sushi in Atlanta. To top it off, they give complimentary dessert which was a cute surprise! This place didn't disappoint at all and might even be my new favorite sushi spot. I'm planning to go back very very soon. I can't believe I've been missing out all this time!

Hands down the best sushi place - food and staff are awesome. Why did we wait so long to visit this place. We can't wait to return - one of the few places I brag about. The "Sandy Springs Roll" is outstanding. Kudos to the stafff

The food is quite tasty and the ambiance is nice. It is a quaint and cozy neighborhood spot that doesn't feel like you are in a strip mall once inside. The service was a bit spotty - the waitress seemed to bounce from table to table but apparently forgot to either get our order in or follow up with kitchen/sushi chef, leaving us with an abnormally long wait for our sushi. The sushi chef was quite attentive and recognized that we were waiting abnormally long - he noticed us and inquired what we had ordered and he then expedited it - we were most appreciative of his diligence. Everything was delicious and fresh. I would give 3 1/2 stars if half stars were allowed- primarily due to waitress attentiveness.

We showed up without a reservation but they were able to seat us at the bar, which I prefer anyway. I was surprised how busy they were in the middle of the week. Sushi was good. All fresh and service attentive. Will go back.

This is a nice sushi restaurant, but I was a little disappointed in the quality, not as good as others, and quite crowded

Bishoku has been on my to-do list for so long, and after going for dinner last night, I'm so mad at myself for not going sooner! When we walked in, my first impression was how classy it was, especially considering it's location in a shopping center. It's very small, but cozy with candlelight. We were asked if we had a reservation...uh oh. No, we didn't. The lady proceeded to tell me that we could sit at the sushi bar if we didn't. Fine by us. (Although I will make a reservation next time to sit at one of their cute little table nooks). The workers were busy, especially with to-go orders, but I feel like we were checked on just the right amount. We had the beef dumplings, miso soup, and yellowtail nigiri as appetizers, all of which were great. My husband is pretty picky about his nigiri and he said it was one of the best he's had in Atlanta. For sushi, we got the Heavenly Roll, Spicy Tuna roll, Crunchy Crab roll, and Shrimp Tempura roll. All were really good. Probably could've done with a touch less mayo on the crab roll, but that's just me being nitpicky. And finally: COMPLIMENTARY DESSERT! Who does that anymore? They gave us cute little dishes of some kind of Angel food cake at the end of our meal. So yummy and I thought this was such a nice touch that it really just hit it out of the park for me. Again, so upset that I waited this long to try this place. We will be back!

Women coming to see Jacque at Bishoku since 2009 and truly deliver some of the best sushi in Atlanta bar none. Her team of dedicated staff are truly one of a kind.. Fresh Sushi Great Service and solid cocktails puts in the top sushi restaurants in all of the ATL

ridiculous. we waited for 20 minutes and were never told how long the wait was going to be, then a blonde white woman waltzes in and says "you have two for me?" (referring to seats) and they were sat immediately. i don't care if they are regulars, that is unacceptable. we walked out.

Excellent sushi and a nice setting with a Covid reopening done right. Friendly staff, superb sushi and beef dumplings, and no headaches that so many are experiencing re: staffing issues and long wait times/quality control issues. The Sandy Springs Roll is especially delicious

This was a good spot! The sushi and apps was good. They were out of tako wasi which I was excited to order. But the sake came in a cool fish carafe.

I wanted to like this place, as a quality sushi joint in Sandy Springs would have been great. Alas, the search continues. Easy enough to find in a large shopping center of Roswell, with Battle & Brew and Egg Harbor Cafe. Parking lot is large, but there's a lot of businesses here so you may have a hard time on certain days. Not an issue on a weekday night though. Vibe I got when I entered was lacking any excitement and very suburban. Took a while for a server to see us, greet us, and give us a seat. In retrospect, we should have opted for the sushi bar because we got seated at a 2 person table which had THE most awkward feeling chairs. They belonged at an antique store, not at a restaurant. The arm rests were way too high to comfortably eat. Also minus points for a poorly made menu. Side salad to start was OK, nothing standing out about the ginger dressing. I got my usual rainbow roll. Wasn't the freshest or best tasting, but just fine enough. Priced a little high for the quality you got. We also tried some pieces of salmon, eel, and egg, all of which was average.

You can find Bishoku at 5920 Roswell Rd NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30342 in the shopping center between Clifton and Hammond, sort of on the backbone of Whole Foods. Nearby is the excellent Egg Harbour Cafe and Chef Rob's Caribbean Cafe and down a level towards the back is one of the few remaining Lefont Theaters. I visited Bishoku with my friend Steven F who asked me about the restaurant - seems he had a conversation regarding the chef (who was looking at fish in a large seafood market) and was curious about the quality of the restaurant - of course my response was "Let's find out!" so we planned for a lunch outing. This shopping center is quite busy during lunch but there still seemed to be plenty of parking - it is a bit odd in that it's divided down the center and there are two lanes going down each row that loop around in the back. There are also speed bumps that you don't typically see in a parking lot, but I believe they are more for pedestrian access than anything else - still a bit odd. Bishoku can be found on the southern end of the rows of buildings that line the three sides of the "U" shaped center - the marquee features "BISHOKU" in tall letters that is hard to miss. The interior is very old-school and reminds me of some of the more traditional restaurants I visited while in Japan. We sat at the bar and looked over the menu - mostly sushi options and since I had no expectations I choose a bento box, as this usually provides the most variety and in general lunch bento boxes are a good deal. I selected the Bishoku Bento Box which included assorted sashimi and tempura - it also included soup, salad, rice and dessert at $16.95. Steve selected a Lunch Deluxe Combination (pick two items, comes with soup, salad, rice and dessert) with Grilled Salmon and a Spicy Tuna Roll at $13.95. I thought the salad quite good with a mix of spring greens - better than the usual mix you find in sushi or hibachi restaurants - the ginger dressing, more of a puree with light salad oil, was very rich with flavor, if a bit heavy handed. The miso shiru was good and freshly made. My bento seemed a bit light on the sashimi, however the quality was exceptional. I also liked the tempura quite a bit. Steven was quite satisfied with is combo and mentioned that he would be bringing his wife here. In all, a decent lunch with very good service (which you usually expect when sitting at a sushi bar). The chef didn't have much to say to us and pretty much ignored us - oh well, I guess we aren't regulars and it was a rather sleepy weekday. (also posted to my food blog)

Chef was friendly and good customer service also waitress. But price was little bit high for the quality of the food... nigiri was too small ( like your pinky finger size ) I love the dessert they served us!! I forgot to take a picture...

Small cozy restaurant with inviting ambiance. Full bar is available as well as selection of wines and draft beers. The restaurant was not busy and service was top notch. Basic menu selection with somewhat limited (and rather expensive for the value) "chef specialty" rolls.

I tried their sushi 2 years ago at an event and I've wanted to come in to try them ever since. My husband and I finally stopped in and loved every minute of it. We got 4 different rolls just to try out a little of everything and we we not disappointed. Everything tasted fresh and well made. The staff and owner were very inviting. We will definitely make this one of our regular places to come!! Also, we didn't get pictures cause we were so eager to get into everything!! But it all looked just as good as it tastes.

First time trying something other than California roll and I'm proud to say it was a success!! Not only was the sushi delicious they as had a wide array of sauces. I tried the wasabi sauce, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. They were all delicious!! I can't remember what the name of the roll I had but it had spicy tuna and avocado. I also had the beef gyoza which were really delicious as well. On top of all that, the service was great!! They were very attentive and very helpful!! I'll def be back !!

3.5 stars?! Are you people crazy?! Bishoku is not only delicious, it's a neighborhood institution! This is arguably one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been to in Atlanta. Reservations recommended; the restaurant is popular and not very large. We were seated at the sushi bar, which is not recommended for more petite folks as the chairs are a bit low for the countertop. I'm pretty tall but otherwise I think it might be uncomfortable. We went absolutely ham, and ordered every single thing that sounded good from the sushi menu and the nightly specials including Avocado and Lobster spring rolls, Chicken Livers, a massive variety of sushi rolls, Chicken Teriyaki skewers, and Fried Lobster and Avocado Hand Rolls (temaki). WOW. The standard sushi rolls were about what I expected... I mean how unique can a spicy tuna roll or a California roll be? Other than that though, the temaki and specialty rolls we tried were very impressive. Everything was very fresh and delivered as it was ready. Recommended!

We used to come here often prior to the pandemic because of the fresh sushi, gyoza, tempura, and complimentary (fragrant) matcha ice cream for dessert at dinner time. The staff were all wearing masks. People were seated a fair distance apart. The place is clean (as usual). The leading staff were thanking us for coming back. We are happy to be back. We can't come as often because we wfh and Bishoku is a far drive for us (40 minutes one-way). Today, we had four sushi rolls, salmon teriyaki, veg tempura, hot green tea, and plum wine. Everything was good. The green tea is delicious.

Bishoku is located in a strip mall off Roswell Road, near Hammond Drive. I've been to the neighboring Chipotle countless times, but didn't stop into this place for lunch until yesterday! Note that their lunch hours are 11:30-2:00, but that 2:00 is just last call for orders. They stay open for lingering patrons well after that. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated, spacious, and perfectly clean. We were seated right away, and service was excellent throughout our visit. They have a $14 lunch combo that includes your choice of two entrees (including sushi rolls, salmon, tempura vegetables, etc.), miso soup, a ginger-dressed salad, a bowl of white rice, and a square of yellow cake. It's A TON of food...couldn't finish it. Given the crazy low price, you know that the sushi is not going to be high-quality. I went with the salmon cucumber and spicy tuna rolls. The salmon cucumber was fine, but it was literally that: a piece of salmon and a little chunk of cucumber. Boring. The spicy tuna roll, on the other hand, was BAD...I'm assuming they use straight up tuna scrape, and should have taken the time to inquire. Tried some of the crunchy crab roll and shrimp & veggie tempura, as well. The roll was better than either of the ones I picked. The tempura was not my thing though...kind of bland. That being said...there aren't a whole lot of choices for lunch in this particular area of Sandy Springs, and I'll probably return to Bishoku for their lunch special one day (a great deal if you pick the right entrees, and the environment is so pleasant). However, I'll stick to their veggie, California, or avocado rolls next time.

Tonkotsu ramen - medium rich body, no egg and no option for an egg, decent chashu, tiny amount of nori. A nice touch are the sesame seeds sprinkled on the broth. Not the best tonkotsu in the city by any means but it's solid. The broth could have been served at a higher temperature. By the time I was near the bottom of the bowl, it was lukewarm (and I'm not a slow eater). Small salad - also solid, good greens and dressing. Better than what I've seen in other ramen joints, most of which don't give you anything else with an order of ramen. Besides the salad, a ramen lunch order also comes with a tasty little piece of cake with whipped topping. Sweet. Service was good because I got there early (first table) but the server started to get real busy by the time I left and I noticed a few tables had been waiting for one thing or another. Diet Coke - 8 oz bottle. Kinda chintzy. Ramen plus Coke ~$15 before tip. Nice ambiance - I want to think this was the old RiceSticks location but it seems bigger. I miss RiceSticks. I was seated against a wall even though I indicated a preference for their window table. I guess they wanted to save that for more than one person, which is fair. But the wall seat was uncomfortable. I wouldn't have wanted to sit there for a longer meal.
