Hokido Japanese Restaurant - Review - Smyrna - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"If you’re in Smyrna and need sushi, there are admittedly better spots to get it than here. But their sushi menu has some winners and their dining room has a fancy-chill aesthetic that works great for dates, so there are enough reasons to keep Hokido in your sushi playbook. Tucked away in an unassuming shopping plaza next to a Five Guys, this Japanese restaurant has a crisp, white-walled dining room with a sushi counter where you can watch chefs slicing up your sashimi appetizer right in front of you. It’s easy to fit in with the Smyrna locals taking a long lunch or couples looking for a quick dinner-and-drinks escape. The menu has standards like a few bowls of just-OK ramen and proteins drizzled in teriyaki. But every table has sushi on it for a reason (it’s what they do best). So snag a few rolls. And just make sure one of them is the Hokido Dynamite—our favorite thanks to the sweet and spicy sauces that brighten up the flash fried salmon. Food Rundown Gyoza These aren’t very consistent. Sometimes they work. Sometimes there’s barely a hint of a sear on these pan-fried gyoza. It’s safer to just skip. Hokido Dynamite Roll It comes flash fried with a little bit of salmon and crab and a sprig of asparagus inside. A hefty drizzle of eel sauce and spicy mayo keep things tangy and play along nicely with the fried exterior. photo credit: Juli Horsford Crispy Spicy Tuna Skip this. The rice comes out a little too crispy, and the spicy tuna mash on top doesn’t taste as fresh as we would like. Wagyu Surf And Turf Roll You get slivers of A5 Miyazaki wagyu beef on top and shrimp tempura and crab salad inside this roll. The beef has a nice char, but other than that, the whole thing is underwhelming, especially for the $29 price tag. Tonkotsu Ramen Even if you opt for the spicy route, don't expect much flavor in this broth. The pork belly helps things out with a nice smoky taste. And the noodles have that chewy texture we love, so it’s suitable if you really want a bowl of ramen with your sushi, but you’re not here for this. photo credit: Juli Horsford Beef Teriyaki The beef is chewy and overcooked. Not even the decent teriyaki glaze can save it." - Juli Horsford

Located in near walkable shops in an apartment complex. Dishes were average price for a fancy place. The crispy calamari was under seasoned but had a nice crisp. Tried the uni ravioli, I hated uni the first time I tried it, but I will have to say that this was delicious. The uni was sandwiched between a sliced scallop, def must try there. We also had an assortment of sashimi, not the best fish I’ve had but still good. And ended with the Angel Roll, it was really good! The service was good and food came out really quick. Again, you must try the uni ravioli when you’re there.

First Visit—Definitely Not the Last! We stopped into Hokido Japanese Restaurant in Smyrna Village for the first time, and it was such a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and the service throughout our meal was top-notch. We tried a couple of sushi rolls, and they were fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. Everything tasted high-quality and well-prepared. We finished with the matcha tiramisu, and wow—such a unique and delightful twist on a classic dessert. Whether you’re a sushi lover or just looking for a warm, inviting spot for dinner, Hokido is definitely worth a visit. We’ll absolutely be back!

Did not have any expectations when we came here but boy were we not disappointed. Sushi was very tasty and large. Salmon was ultra buttery. Wife said it was the most buttery she ever had. Wish they had more choices for appetizers like agedashi too, and some typical rolls we see as staples at other sushi places were missing like futomaki. Those gripes are very minor though and we will definitely be back here often for a quick sushi bite.

So happy to find this place! Our kids had ramen and we got some sushi and gyoza. Everything was so well executed. Service was excellent. Price was great, even with wagyu sushi! Only gripe: a wobbly chair and table 🤣. Otherwise, perfect

The ambiance is calm with classic dinner music. The sushi is absolutely amazing. And the server was attentive and patient with my indecisive party. I will definitely return. What could be better? More tender chicken in the spicy chicken ramen. Sadly there were only 2 thinly sliced pieces of chicken in it, and they were over cooked and tough to chew. But the flavors were awesome.

The food was great. Very flavorful and the portions are very generous. If you like alcohol, the hot sake is a must!!

Hands-down, the best sushi experience I have had across several cities in the country. The place is newly opened and beautiful, with attention to detail in decor. Yes, the lights are low, and I enjoyed that as we ate our relaxing dinner with good friends. Our server, Eko, was attentive and courteous, and made sure we were always comfortable and had everything we needed. The sushi itself was incredibly fresh, perfectly executed, and tasted fantastic! We were served hot green tea in a larger ceramic cup instead of a typical tiny little vessel. We didn’t try the desserts, but they offered tiramisu among other selections. We were visiting the area with a friend who had recently moved to Atlanta, and she said she would definitely continue to go there. Loved it!

Hokido's weekend Supreme Box is a solid way to get a feel for the menu -- great portions, good quality fish, and a little bit of everything. The sashimi was thick and fresh, and the Super Sake roll definitely stood out. Some of the hot apps (tempura and gyoza) came out cold, which was a bit of a downer. Still, it's a strong value and a great intro for first-timers. Next time, I'll skip the box and go for one of their signature rolls -- or maybe try the ramen. The service was friendly, and I liked the environment of the place. I'll definitely be back. For more food recaps and scores like this, follow along @notanother.foodie

First things first--the Blue Fin Sampler. Hands down one of the best I've ever had. Every cut of bluefin was there: akami, chu‑toro, o‑toro... and each one was perfectly done. You could taste the quality immediately--nothing masked, nothing overdone, just clean, honest, gorgeous fish. The o‑toro was so rich it felt like it melted on contact. The fresh grated wasabi (yes, the real stuff--not that dyed-green paste) added just enough bite to highlight the flavor without ever taking away from it. That alone would've been worth the visit. But the rest of the nigiri lineup? Just as impressive. Every single piece was thoughtful and precise. The rice was warm, lightly seasoned, and held together just enough to do its job. You can tell they care about balance and timing--nothing sat too long, nothing felt rushed. Even the simpler cuts--like salmon or snapper--were top-tier, and that's when you know a sushi spot is doing it right. Service was friendly and attentive without hovering. The whole night just felt smooth and effortless in the best way. If you're serious about sushi--or even just curious what excellent sushi should taste like--the Blue Fin Sampler is your starting point. But honestly, you can't go wrong here. I'll be back the next time I want to treat myself.

I will start this out by saying we eat a lot of sushi. This is by far the worst sushi we have had. The fish still had silver skin on it. When asked why it still had silver skin the waiter said "this is how we serve it here"...it was nasty, chewy, tough. We literally sent $100 worth of fish back to the kitchen and left....they gave us 10% off our bill.... I ordered tempura green beans (that were still frozen) and fried dumplings that were cold. I asked if this is how they were supposed to be served and he said "oh no they are supposed to be hot"....appetite was instantly gone. We also ordered 4 orders of masago (fish eggs) the put all 4 orders for (4 different people) in 2 bowls....I've never been to a family style sushi restaurant and that's what this dish was....not appealing. We will never be back to this restaurant and would highly discourage anyone to eat here.

Such a lovely little restaurant tucked away in Smyrna. As my partner, our newborn and I had been hiding away in our house for the first 2 months of his life, as soon as he got his shots I was ready to get some sun as a family. To mark the occasion I thought we would feed my sushi craving and see how our son handled being in a public restaurant. Hokido is located in a shopping plaza and if you blink you'll miss it. I was lucky enough to come across it on Yelp and the reviews stood out enough that we were in the car minutes after I read them. There's some great parking right outside of the restaurant and throughout the plaza, we were lucky enough to get a spot only steps away from the door so we could fast track it to our lunch. The restaurant itself isn't massive, but it's beautifully decorated and laid out without cramping guests in. It wasn't loud at all but very peaceful in there, so peaceful that our baby slept through 95% of the visit! We visited on a Sunday afternoon and joined 3 or 4 other parties that were already indulging in their meals. The host was kind enough to help us get settled at the table with our son's car seat before we took some time to look at the menu. We decided to start with an Angel Fish and the Hokido Dynamite to start and, wow - what a great first impression. Both rolls were delicious! Incredibly fresh, stuffed with ingredients and so tasty. For round two, my partner ordered chicken fried rice and I got another roll by a name that totally escapes me. My 3rd roll was so good! My boyfriend didn't love the chicken in the rice as he was hoping for more flavor, but he did really enjoy the rice itself. Truly a great experience from start to finish and a wonderful way for us to be introduced back into public dining with our little one!

I just happened to be in the area again and in the mood for ramen I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to go very far. I have been to this shopping area on multiple occasions and never realized Hokido was steps away. Inside was quiet and relaxing, although being 6'4 the bar was higher than expected had me a bit self conscious lol, the stools could use a few inches though. Enough of that the food was really good and the service was on time on point. I ordered the chicken ramen, Hokido Dynamite roll and Toyosu. Just look at the images it's mouth watering they were all exceptional. You should definitely stop in for a bite.

Ehh...it's okay. For the price and having seen 4+ stars, I expected better. Nothing was above a 3. The service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant. I don't really do raw anything...So, I made the request for cooked salmon and they still made it medium rare . If you're trying to be fancy and want to impress someone, spend the extra $50 for a meal for two...or, go to another spot and have a take home box too. Service was a 4/5 Food was a 2.5/5 (tempura wasn't cooked through and through and the pieces were huge.

Honestly, this place was such a pleasant surprise. When you walk in, the ambiance is very calm but the inside was beautiful. The wait staff was amazing and very attentive. The sushi, was so fresh it tasted like they went and caught it that morning. Everything was delicious, but the tuna was our favorite. Just found our new favorite spot!

Free parking for 2 hours right outside the restaurant! First time here and I ordered the agedashi tofu appetizer and the volcano roll. The tofu itself was so soft and it was fried in a light batter that was super crunchy, so good!! The only downside was the broth was quite salty, but the fried tofu itself was perfection! The volcano roll was also really good, the sauce was spicy and creamy, and the sushi was nice and fresh! Overall really good. The service was awesome, my server was super friendly and they were very fast! Probably one of the best service I have had. Would give it a 4.5 overall, great sushi in the area!

Stopped in here for lunch after a friend recommended it, since there aren't many good sushi spots in this area. We were blown away with how great everything was! The gyoza was cooked in a way we've never tasted, it was a combo of steamed and char grilled but incredible. The fried rice was the best fried rice I've ever had. And their rolls are hand crafted perfectly with unique flavors! The service was also great, they were very attentive. 10/10 would recommend!

After moving to GA, we wanted to find a great sushi and ramen spot. We were in luck when we found this cute little gem tucked away. It's very warm and cozy with a touch of elegance. I told my husband we had to come back for a date night. The atmosphere is of average noise level. The staff were ever welcoming and patient with me and my friends 6 kids (collectively). The kids enjoyed the house fried ramen, chicken fried ramen (pictured), and chicken teriyaki. They left nothing to take home. So I'd say it's safe to say they enjoyed it. The adults had the spicy ramen (good), the GA and MJ roll (very good), and my friend had two rolls pictured that were very delicious. I believe one was the volcano roll (but I may be mistaken with the name). I wanted to send my mine back to get hers, but they were all very good. My husband had the sushi negri, and it was very delicious. My son gad the regular tonkotsu, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be back soon for more sushi oh and gyoza. Most definitely a go-to spot.

I took my kids to Hokido after reading good reviews. The location is a little tucked away, but is next to Five Guys. We went on a week night so the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. However, there was a somewhat slow vibe to the service. For example after our waiter brought drinks, we were ready to order but he said he'd come back...had to find him to ask for the check...that kind of thing (which happens generally on slower nights.) We all ordered various rolls and honestly, after reading such great reviews, we were all slightly disappointed. The price point was pretty on par with other sushi spots like O-Ku. My volcano roll had the potential to be great, but wasn't. I can't recall what was on top of the roll but it was like eating delicate burnt pieces of tissue paper. It gave the roll a smoky flavor that took away from the sushi. I can't recall which roll my daughter ordered but it was slightly better than mine. My son had a basic spicy salmon roll and it was fine. I'd come back to try the ramen, which also has great reviews, but I'm not a fan of the sushi.

My husband and I decided to check this fairly new sushi spot on a Wednesday night. We started off by having seaweed salad, which was a small portion for $8.00, but it was good. We also ordered the Popcorn Okra, which was lightly fried okra and came with a ponzu sauce. The Ponzu sauce seemed bland for us, but the okra was nicely fried. For dinner, I ordered the Pink Lady which was just okay for me. Lot's of items on the menu has "spicy tuna" on it and I am not a fan, but decided to try it anyway. I wish they would have less "spicy" items on the menu. I also ordered several pieces of sashimi, like octopus, squid and (sake) salmon. However, there is one comment about the octopus, they were very small pieces and that disappointed me as you can see in my picture. Everything seemed fresh and good. I'd come again and try the ramen since I am a sucker for ramen,

Very good sushi for the area, I was very happy with the quality and service. We split a few appetizers, the veggie tempura, dumplings and then had soup and salad. All were very good and came in a nice sized portion. I opted for the sashimi which was a large offering of very fresh tuna, salmon, hamachi, mackerel and snapper. I also requested uni and they had several types to choose from. I opted for the California uni and it was super fresh and delicious. Service was very good and the prices were reasonable.

Thee ware some delicious options on the menu at Hoikido. This place is a hidden gem in the heart of south Atlanta rd at 285. Inside the location in the evening are semi dimmer lights with classy piano playing in the background As I sit here solo sipping on hot sake, I taste the reminiscent of miso soup on my palate. The miso was fresh and had just enough clouds in the broth to elevate my taste buds for the next course. It was a simple choice for me, a signature roll with salmon, tuna green onions that inspired me to stop there before I ordered anything else delectable. They have a beautiful bar with lighting that overshadows the under-siding where the bottles rest casting shadows of wine options on the wall. The service was attentive. My food arrived in the perfect amount of time and it was pleasing to my eyes. I wanted to add that this roll was warm in some bites and cool in other. Very unique way of creating summer and winter rolled up into one. I'm not one that looks for sushi rolls that are flash fried. I guess I overlooked that on the menu. If I had caught if, I would have chosen another option. The server said this was a best seller... but that all he offered. I only consumed 3 slices before I realized the fry daddy was used. I am I looking forward to coming again and choosing carefully next time. There were some options that I would like to try in the future. Cheers

Food was good! Service not so much... No white rice with their chicken teriyaki, they realized it and still didn't bring it to my table. The sushi looked very good, but if they can't get orders fulfilled correctly, why bother. Ohhh and 10 min later we got our check

The restaurant although a smaller looking outside is very well decorated outside entrance and dining area. Inside is nice clean and the atmosphere and background music makes it very pleasant. I would like to see a few partitions to separate dinners so a bit of privacy and separation is provided. The employees are all so friendly and greet you coming in and goodbye when you leave. Waiter Joshua always provides excellent service quick and very friendly. The food is very good! I have lived and dined in Japan and they do a great job. Recommend this place. Ulysses

My wife and I had dinner at Hokido because it's very close to our house and we felt like Sushi. I had read all of the Google reviews and saw they were uniformly excellent. And I must say, we were not disappointed in the service or the quality of the food at Hokido. I had the sushi Bento box and my wife has the sashimi special. Each of these was accompanied by a bowl of Miso soup which was very tasty. We noticed the place was rather empty during our lunch. This was concerning because we wondered why the place want packed since the reviews were all perfect. Notwithstanding, the service was great, Our questions were answered quickly and the quality of the sushi and sashimi were beyond reproach. Because the place is elegant, our next visit to Hokido will be during the dinner hour. We sincerely hope this restaurant gets the attention it deserves so it will be around for many years to come.

A NEW MUST TRY SUSHI RESTAURANT! Let's start with the ambiance it's clean simple and pleasant lil place. There are multiple seating options from bar, hightop, to booth. Now the food is a bang for your buck! Once again staying on theme with clean and simple the food is absolutely that. No unnecessary frills or additives. The food is in its true form and we appreciate that. We ordered salmon Nagri, spicy tuna on crispy rice and chicken Ramen. The Nagri was perfect delicious and mouthwatering. The spicy tuna on crispy rice is an absolute treat mix of flavors and textures. Lastly the ramen tasted like a warm hug. It was once again clean and in its true form. The service was kind and attentive. Overall this is a great addition to the neighborhood and we can't wait to go back! It's located next to five guys.

By FAR my favorite spot for sushi in Atlanta. We always sit right at the bar but this place has a really good ambiance throughout the seating area as well. Service and food, all 5 stars!

Update: Omakase at Hokido Japanese Restaurant Omakase means "I'll leave it up to you" in Japanese. When in reference to eating sushi it means "chef's choice." To me, omakase is an experience: an opportunity to watch an experienced chef plate visually stunning and delightfully delicious servings of sushi. To celebrate my birthday, I decided to make a reservation at Hokido Japanese Restaurant to try their omakase. I was not disappointed. It was a wonderful experience on every level. Hokido Japanese Restaurant offers a four levels of omakase -- Regular, Silver, Gold, and Platinum -- so consider the number of courses listed for each level and how hungry you are when deciding which level you choose. Each level can be filling. For omakase, the chef assembles each course using the best selections of fish configured in imaginative ways. It takes time and effort. So, as you should expect, omakase is the most expensive item on the menu. The prices, per person, range between $125 to $200. Omakase at Hokido requires a reservation due to the necessary preparation. I believe they will want your reservation to be around 7PM. Also, the omakase meal takes time. Set aside plenty of time to leisurely enjoy the experience. And do take your time. Another matter to consider about omakase is where you sit during your meal. You will want to sit at the sushi bar so that you may watch your sushi chef work. It is definitely part of the experience to witness how a chef puts these visual and culinary masterpieces together. I chose the Platinum level, because of course I did. I had to fight my impulse to dig in to each course so that I could take a photo. In all seriousness, each course was almost -- really, almost -- too pretty to eat. But in consuming, the visual beauty combines with the textures and flavors to make a completely enjoyable experience.

I got the chicken ramen and I can truly say it was some of the worse ramen I've ever had. The broth was thick, the chicken was dry, and the overall dish was tasteless. I had to add a packet of soy sauce AND regular sea salt to get any flavor. I will not be back to Hokido!

We decided to try this new spot for an early Father's Day dinner since it was close to home and decent reviews The Pros: I was impressed with the ambiance, very nice relaxed vibe inside The service was great, our waiter was very attentive for the most part and everyone inside greeted us in and out the restaurant The Cons: The Food was trash!!! I ordered the NY Strip teriyaki, I'm pretty sure it's the same steak they serve at Waffle House with steak & eggs lol Maybe they got the steak from the Waffle House that closed for repairs around the corner, either way it was overcooked and just terrible not worth $8 let alone the $29 on the menu! My wife had the spicy tuna sushi from their specials menu, it was not that good. It's disappointing because we had high hopes going in to find a neighborhood sushi spot but that's not the case I wouldn't go back here even if it were free

Stopped in for a quick lunch date with family and the food was soooo good I couldn't even stop to snap a photo. I tried vegetable tempura with shrimp , spicy chicken ramen, angel roll, Tako sashimi and to top it off large Sapporo. All was hands down delicious. The server was excellent he even apologized for wait because kitchen was short staffed but honestly we didn't even notice wait time. The restaurant style was clean and calming. Oh and ladies the bathroom was very clean and had a place for you to sit your things. I'll be back with pictures next visit

Sad we didn't take pics. But everything was delicious and fresh! Burrito roll and MJ roll were great. Toddler only eats sashimi and hers was very fresh. Ginger salads and miso soup were yummy. My cousins rolls looked good and she loved hers (can't remember which ones though). We also tried bananas foster and the chocolate mousse both delicious. We will be back! Side note: service was wonderful. Very attentive! Thank you for a great lunch today!!

First, they accept reservations for people like me that don't like to wait and hope for a table. As soon as we entered we were greeted and the service was impeccable through the dinner. They have an expansive menu that includes typical Japanese cuisine as well as a solid selection of sushi rolls and fish. My wife and I shared a nice bottle of sake and the food was delicious. This is a neighborhood gem. Definitely worth a visit!

My husband and I travel to Japan yearly and are sticklers for chefs using the proper ingredients and the quality of the ingredients when making Japanese meals in America. That being said, this place is a gem and the quality of the food was excellent. The only thing we were disappointed by was there was no tamago on the menu but I get it you can't have everything. We're hoping this restaurant does well because we can see ourselves trying everything on the menu at least once.

Great experience here. They had several options. The sushi was super fresh. The service was good - they recently opened so they seem to still be working out the kinks which I expected. The place is cozy and clean. I'm excited to have good sushi less than 10 minutes from my house. I'll definitely be back.

I just moved from NY to GA and didn't know where to find a great sushi restaurant...so my friends came into town and they found one!! Yippee this is going to be MY sushi place from now on!!! I had 2 pieces of mackerel and ikura with a spicy salmon roll, it all was fresh and yummy in my tummy . The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Our waiter was Ecko and he was so friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back!!

Service was sub par. We were seated promptly. Drink orders and appetizers order was taken about 5-8min after being seated (good so far). About 20 min later our waiter can and took our order. In this time every 3 Min another waiter would come by and ask if we order some dish he had in his hand. This pretty much went on all night. Even after we ordered and got our food Now to the food. Honestly there was nothing special about any of the sushi we had. We had the tuna tataki. The spicy tuna roll, Caribbean, dynamite, ruby red and the tonkotsu ramen. The sushi rice was hard on some of the rolls. And overall very dry. Most of the rolls just fell apart. The ramen was okay. Broth was nice. But the egg was just a plain boiled egg. And the pork belly you can taste the butane/gas they used to "char" it up. The place is not worth the price they charge

Yelp
I like this place. Sushi is very good. Better than Publix, but not the best I have had. On the other hand, I do go back. I am working my way through the sushi menu, Every time I go,I order a different dish. I am going to go a few more times and then reevaluate. Service is very good, but again I go at lunch on my way home from Costco. Not crowded, but they have a delicacy I associate with restaurants, I visited in Japan. Perhaps, this is why I go back.

We popped in last minute/just before close and Hokido was very accommodating. I appreciate this so much! We ordered several items togo, and they were packaged beautifully and securely. A sushi roll, a fried rice dish, and salmon ikura don bowl. We finished everything in less than 10min because it was all so yummy. The ambiance is very relaxed and warm. We can't wait to come back and eat in next time. I think we will be regulars at Hokido.

The service is good. This place didn't have great ramen options and we went to find ramen but before we left we did have two sushi rolls which were decent. The ambiance is more personal, romantic in the evening hours.

Hands-down, the best sushi experience I have had across several cities in the country. The place is newly opened and beautiful, with attention to detail in decor. Yes, the lights are low, and I enjoyed that as we ate our relaxing dinner with good friends. Our server, Eko, was attentive and courteous, and made sure we were always comfortable and had everything we needed. The sushi itself was incredibly fresh, perfectly executed, and tasted fantastic! We were served hot green tea in a larger ceramic cup instead of a typical tiny little vessel. We didn't try the desserts, but they offered tiramisu among other selections. We were visiting the area with a friend who had recently moved to Atlanta, and she said she would definitely continue to go there. Loved it!

Need to return for dinner but my experience for a quick lunch was not what I was expecting. A miso soup, one order of: uni, amaebi, salmon & a california roll don't justify the $90 bill. Taste and quality did not justified the price.

Delicious new sushi place in Westside Village. Been to their original spot Hoki. Hokido did not disappoint - just open less than 2 weeks and had to stop in to try it. Had the Omakase menu - so many delicious bites - beautifully prepared. What a lovely evening

Alright - SO, this is our 3rd time visiting Hokido in the past 4months since moving from Alpharetta and I am SO thankful we found this spot. There's so many "sushi" restaurants everywhere and it's hard to trust / know when you've found an above average spot w/ so many options and reviews being all over the place... BUT, if you're looking for great sushi, fast service, and really good quality options w/ a nice ambiance, then look no further. So far the best sushi spot around (and we're pretty snobby about our sushi preferences) - well done Hokido, amazing experience and we'll be back / regulars moving forward).

In town for business. Found this place close by. Clean and bright. Good service. Seaweed salad was fresh. And, thankfully, the sushi was great.
