Makimono

Makimono has grown to be my one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Last weekend I was in Atlanta visiting family and I went to Makimono twice. My favorite dish is the Makimono fried chicken. I also really love the tofu soups. Every roll I’ve tried is fantastic too. The restaurant atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff is attentive and helpful. My partner has some allergy restrictions and the staff was very helpful about what was available for her to eat. We can’t wait to go back.

Walked in, felt like a Japanese Film Set, great lighting. Sat down and was recommended a fantastic roll that was fun to eat and pretty dang tasty. ie; Black Spider Roll Then the waffles fries came, and layers of layers of meat and cheese interwoven into the fries. Also not sure what days, but $5 margs today! Oh and our servers were not only friendly, but had a good sense of humor.

This spot is an absolute 10/10 and a must-visit while in Atlanta! The food is incredibly satisfying—portions are generous, and every bite feels worth the price. The staff? Simply amazing! They’re not just friendly but super knowledgeable, answering all of our questions with patience and care. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, giving off cozy, homey vibes that make you feel right at ease. Plus, it’s totally Instagram-worthy! Whether you’re looking for a filling meal or a great dining experience, this place has it all. Highly recommended!

Uncomfortable experience. This was our second time coming to eat and definitely our last. One of the workers ( he's always taking orders) is so rude its unbearable. It wasnt kist with us but with every person who approached to order. The sushi is good but for the prices they charge, not worth it.

I visited Makimono and ordered a combination fried rice with chicken, beef, and shrimp and an order of spring rolls. The fried rice was quite tasty. However, when I bit into the shrimp, I realized that they were not deveined. I found this to be quite gross. I ended up picking out all the shrimp. The spring rolls were expensive for a side and just ok.

Came after biking the beltline and I got the Lion King sushi. Has to be the one of, if not the best sushi I’ve had. The texture, taste, and amount was outstanding. Definitely coming back when I’m back in ATL

Went there on a Saturday at 5:30. Great vibes! $5 margs, $6 mixed drinks. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Apparently the place only opens on the weekend so felt almost like an exclusive speak easy behind the bar at Krog. You walk to the left of the counter and find a super cute sushi restaurant with perfectly priced drinks and food. And no crowds! Unheard of! Will be back again

Omg! If you are thinking about dining in please do not hesitate to!!! Great service, Vicky was amazing! Food was ready quickly. Fresh and tasty, We ordered sushi; Lambada, Makimono were superb. House fried rice was delicious per my hubby. Really enjoyed our time here. Nice bar, besides near by the Beltline. All staff was friendly! Lovely we will come back

MAKE your own call about Makimono... located inside Krog Street Market, I believe they used to be Craft Izakaya, which I did enjoy a lot when it was a full dine in restaurant, but they shut down and reopened as a smaller scale sushi bar counter. After making a circle around the food hall, we were most curious about Makimono. They were close to closing time but luckily not super busy so we took a seat and chatted with some of the guys behind the bar. We asked for suggestions on the best two rolls so they recommended the Ellie and the Lambada, which also happened to be the two sushi rolls on the menu we were eyeing. I'm pretty particular about my sushi and I wasn't expecting much from the rolls. However, they were pretty large and tasty. The Ellie came out nice in photos - the Lambada was probably my favorite of the two, but not as photogenic. Rolls here were a-ok. Nothing special, maybe a step up from grocery store sushi? There are tons of restaurants in Atlanta to grab a mediocre sushi roll from so go ahead and add Makimono to the list if you're craving it while at Krog.

Welll id probably recommend anywhere else in Krog st. The food wasn't bad necessarily but it wasn't super good and it definitely did not meet up to the price. Save your time and your coins ladies and gents

Came here for a quick bite white at Krog Street. The crunch roll was really good and so was the $5 watermelon margarita! The crunch roll was perfect; it was fresh, crunchy, and delicious. I wasn't expecting the watermelon margarita to be so good but it shockingly was, especially with the real pieces of watermelon inside!

Check your take-out!, Open each container. It was awful. Really awful. It was really really awful. I threw it all away and had a bowl of cereal for dinner instead. I can only recommend the cereal. The Roll is sloppy with old rice and "bits" of fish not slices. Not worth the $18. This Yakisoba is gummy noodles (not soba noodles) with a salty, I mean inedibly salty, sauce. Whether or not it is teriyaki is debatable. I am a black woman from Brooklyn and I've made better Yakisoba at home. There is no steak, just bits of mystery beef for $22. The assorted vegetables are stringy sliced onions and green pepper with slivers of carrot. (See photos below) P.S. Sent a letter and a pre-stamped return envelop to Makimono with the recipt and pics asking for a refund but what I got was an email saying they appreciate the feedback. Update to Orig. post in Nov. 2023

This was our first time at Krog Street Market and we decided to try a couple of places. First up sushi...this is an Excellent sushi counter! We loved creating our own roll and we highly recommend the addition of pickled daikon and carrots to your roll. We did not try any of the hot dishes - maybe next time; but with sushi as good as this though, why would we???

$30 bento box is not worth it and we could not change an item after we realized we ordered the wrong thing. Host was rude. Food took so long we had to get it to-go because our parking was running out.

This is been my favorite sushi spot over the past few years. I just hate that the prices keep increasing, but the quality of food has not changed. I always order an island roll and try something different. The island roll is top-tier.

Always like going to Krog City market. Lively environment. My initial thought while visiting this place was that it's expensive. And it is! BUT the rolls and the sushi pieces are large and delicious. Almost twice the size than a traditional sushi restaurant. Food was delicious. Service was blah. And no fresh black or green iced tea. Seems like that should be a sushi staple! I had a Diet Coke. In a can. No cups or ice. If the staff were a even a little friendly and they had fresh iced tea, I would have given 5 stars.

Overpriced mediocre food, but giving it 2 stars because only the lion king roll was good. My partner and I ordered yakisoba, the 1 sushi roll, and a bento box for $70! It wasn't bad but it wasn't the best! I could get the same items for cheaper elsewhere and it would also probably taste better too.

Watermelon margs so so yummy. Shrimp crunch sushi( shrimp tempura) also delicious I will be back!

Todays lunch break consisted of sushi from Makimono at Krog Street Market. Very dope and mellow vibe especially during the week. Not as much traffic which is my vibe. Makimono is a place for a nice date for sushi, a solo outing or a place you and friends can go to but it's not much room outside of the bar, but if you've been to Krog Street Market you know there's plenty of room. I ordered the Spider Roll ($16) which consists of deep fried soft shell crab, crab salad, avocado, and cucumber topped with masago eel sauce. After a walk around the market my rolls were ready. I sat at a nearby table and enjoyed my rolls. The Spider Rolls were good. The End. Very fresh but you can taste more vegetables than anything which wasn't an issue. But from a informing standpoint I think it's important you know that when considering which rolls you want. Overall, a great place for sushi. I recommend it to any sushi lover. I'll definitely go back to try other things on the menu.

My vegetable roll was good but nothing to write home about. I found the prices relatively high for just average tasting sushi. There was nothing about it that made my mouth water. It's conveniently located in Krog street market but there are definitely better options to pick from.

Overpriced. Mediocre sushi. Much better options in the area. Each roll was just under $20. Ultimately the sushi just tasted like salty mush. No real fish flavor. Do not recommend.

Wow, all I have to say is wow. This was the most seductive Japanese food experience I've ever had. Every bite was like an orgasm in my mouth and it was constantly followed by laughs. The host micki and Miguel were wonderful. Epic. Stunning. 10/10 would recommend

This little sushi window is by far my favorite sushi restaurant in Atlanta! Makimono is located in the Krog St Food Hall with both a quick, take-out window and nice, indoor seating in the back. While the rolls are each about $20, they are very large and leave you extremely full, which is rare for sushi. My go-to roll is the Lion King, all ingredients are so fresh and flavorful. I truly have yet to find a sushi place that compares!

We had a pretty early dinner so it wasn't crowded at all. It is a sit-down restaurant inside Krog. Our waitress was still in training so she messed up a couple things, but the staff was super nice and got everything corrected. It is a bit pricier than I think it should be, so that was my only critique. Gyoza was really good. Yaki Udon was basic, but good. Lion King Roll was DELICIOUS! My favorite was the Beef Bulgogi Stone Pot! Very flavorful and a pretty good portion. One of the best places I've had in Krog, so I would definitely recommend.

Overpriced. Slow. Rude. Not sure what the 5 star reviewers would consider a 1 star. Much better food and much kinder service available nearby. Give ur money to a different vendor at Krog.

Absolute FAVORITE sushi restaurant !! Amazing ambiance, GREAT food, even better service! Drinks and food are HIGHLY RECOMMEND

ordered the gyoza as an appetizer and island roll which is one of their popular rolls and it was really good. good food and I liked their sushi rolls

Are you kidding me?this is the Korean tofu soup,is the worst tofu soup I've ever eaten,and the service is bad, I definitely don't recommend this place

They rush you to order and then walk away mid order when you're not even done to go do something else. There's too many places to eat here to deal with someone being rude.

Great sushi bar in Krog Market! Probably the best Shrimp Tempura Roll I have had ever. It was rolled and made to perfection. This place serves big sushi rolls and they are very feeling. The miso soup was not too bad. The restaurant is located in Krog Market which is like of a food court but they also have an entrance to the outside so you don't have to walk through the market to come inside. They have a full service bar with reasonably priced cocktails, beer and specialty drinks. The drinks are great! The dining room is spacious with a large TV. You can also sit at the bar and watch as the sushi chef prepares your roll. Great ambiance- cool and chill vibe and nice upbeat music pipes inside. Excellent service and the waiter was helpful deciding our selections. I highly recommend and will come back again.

$60 bill. $17 a roll for counter sushi in a high end food hall, but wouldn't give us a glass of ice water. Food was ok enough but not for the price & the ethics behind not sharing their FREE water. Also the tofu soup was bland. Seriously, don't get that.

my friend and I ordered 2 rolls and it took awhile to make. food tastes good. it is a little bit on the pricy side but a nice treat. cashier was friendly. they do have dine in space, but I didn't get a chance to check it out.

On last Sunday I took a Trip to Krog Street Market. I was in the mood for sushi snd wanted to try out Makimono. I ordered One of the signature rolls called the " Crunch Roll." I love Shrimp and this roll was covered in shrimp. ( doesn't get much better than that). Your items are made to order so I waited awhile, but that wasn't a Problem for me. Normally, I would wait until I make it home to eat my food, but those rolls ( all 10) didn't stand a chance. Everything about that roll was amazing !!! It was so good I wanted to order another one but I didn't. Enough about how good it was let me show you the pictures!!!!

The vegan roll was absolutely delicious! It had veggies, mango, avocado, and seaweed salad and was very fresh and filling. It would be nice if the menu indicated if options like the tofu soup, tempera, etc. are vegan too.

The one star is simply for the guy who takes the orders. He needs to be fired. He literally told potential customers "F you" as they left- in front of me as I was eating. They sat at the bar not knowing to order at the register. He could have easily said "you all need to order here" but didn't. Outrageously bad. I was thinking before that happened that the guy is not friendly. And then the cursing at customers happened. Your establishment will not last with that BS going on. It's shame because the sushi was great. I hope the owner is reading this and takes his business seriously.

Absolutely poor service from cashier / waitress who sees me sitting 3 feet from her on the stool. Unfortunately, it feels particularly familiar as I have had service this poor as I am Ordering While Black. Absolutely disgusting behavior in tue current day and age we're living in. No apology necessary, they won't change. So no more patronage from me.

Makimono have been on my list to try for a long time but it seems that every time I wanted to visit, it didn't happen. Well I finally had a chance to go here couple of weeks ago and I am glad I finally got to taste their sushi. We order the following: -Build your own roll -Fish Cake Soup -Wonton Shumai My friend liked the shu mai, but it could have been more flavorful. My built my own sushi had salmon, eggs, avocado and fried garlic on top. It was really good. The fish cake soup was very lackluster, I do not recommend it. Overall, I would definitely come back for more sushi.

Impromptu trip to Krog St Market and this spot caught my eye. Initially I thought that I'd build my own roll. I love that they have that option but the Shrimp Crunch sounded really good. And guess what, it really was. I had the roll with everything except cucumber and green onion. The shrimp and the crunch topper made this roll so outstanding for me. Each order consists of 10 pieces and that was more than enough. My daughter had the chicken fried rice. I wasn't as impressed with it. It lacked the savory factor for me but I think the corn kernels made it taste sweeter to me. But I'll definitely be back for more sushi and the fried chicken.

Paid $15 for 6 tiny little shumai and the service was incredible slow. 20% tip was secretly included and they ask for another tip on top of it. Slow, overpriced, and disappointing.

The cashier was Very unethical to me. I'm pretty sure that the cashier was racist. I'm not sure if he was slightly annoyed before clocking in but I was the first customer of the day. I greeted him. He responded yeah, what can I get for you? I told him my order and handed him my payment. He then sat my change on the counter and started to laugh and speak Spanish to the cooks. He greeted the next patron "aaaah my first customers of the day! Happy to see you. How can I help you?" I stepped to the side and watched him greet other patrons (not of my race) with politeness and place their change into their hands. I won't be back unfortunately.

I would give this place an easy five, but like so many locations they seem to be hit hard by Covid staffing problems. The nice gentleman who instructed us to seat ourselves seemed to be working the entire back section on his own. Taking our order took some time. After the order was put in, our food came out quickly. The beef bulgogi in a stone pot was absolutely delicious and the portions were so large. The takoyaki was equally delicious, covered in a sweet sauce and bursting with chewy octopus and sweet batter on the inside. Our friend got a sushi roll and said it was delicious and largely portioned as well. Would definitely go back to this Krog Street Market gem.

Four stars?? Wow. Are y'all desperate for Japanese food? High? Combo? Ha. This is horrible. Teriyaki shrimp was ok. Good portion but lots of green peppers and scallions. Can't say I've ever had that with "teriyaki" before but whatever. Teriyaki chicken was dry. Shumai had almost no shrimp in it and reminded me of stuff ya get In frozen section of supermarket and wasn't 10 bucks. Won't come here again.

Terrible service. We entered the Monday after the 4th of July, and it wasn't busy. We each ordered a roll. There were only 2 of us. The wait was agonizing. We waited an hour for our rolls, and my friend's roll had plastic on it. I don't know what else to say. I'm not coming back here. If you're craving sushi, go elsewhere.

Located in the Krog Street Market, Makimono is definitely a must-go for everyone who is a fan of Japanese cuisine. My parents and I ate here as dine-in. I had the udon, while my parents ordered the bento box. We all really enjoyed the food. The service here is very attentive and food was made to order very quickly, which was also impressive considering how long the take-out line was. The interior design was very Japanese-like keeping the dynamic consistent. They have a good selections of Japanese beers, which go very well with the dishes that they serve here. Price was not outrageous and portion sizes are very generous. Highly recommend this place for everyone exploring Krog Street Market!

the manager Vicki is so amazingly nice. She answered any questions I had about different food and made wonderful suggestions. We'll definitely come back and hope she's there.

Visited for the first time on Monday around 8pm. This place is inside of Krog Street Market. Parking can be a little difficult, but I circled the lots twice and found someone leaving. For a Monday the market was definitely busy! I can only imagine how crowded it would be on the weekend. Luckily they were still open late and ordered and grabbed 2 seats at the bar right there. I ordered the Lambada roll (Spicy tuna, salmon, avocado, cucumber topped with spicy mayo, masago, eel sauce, green onion & sesame seed -$14). Super super delicious roll! Would definitely return.

SLOW COUNTER SERVICE. Waited 30+ minutes for one roll standard menu roll on a Wednesday night when it's not busy. They also have machines to spread the rice on and cut the rolls so the time it took blew me away. Really not worth the price.

Checked out this place (Makimono)based on a recommendation from the group. I got the Babees signature roll and the beef fried rice. I also got a mango margarita from Bar Mercado. I did notice afterwards that Makimono had a $5 margarita special. My food was good. I would definitely come back. This location was perfect because I could walk the beltline after eating. It would be nice if the cashiers were a bit more helpful with suggestions and telling specials.

The food at this place is amazing! The sushi is the best for sure. We got the island, the crunchy shrimp and the lambada! Miso soup was hot and fresh. The service was the only reason for 4 stars, they only had ONE server on a Saturday night in the dining area. But he did a great job, didn't catch his name but had he a full dining room and got us everything we needed, just had to remind him a couple times ;)))) overall great!

My favorite sushi place in Atlanta! Definitely bigger than your average roll with ten big pieces.

Today I was treated to an experience and genuine greatness of culture and taste. This combination of Korean and Japanese palate combos was unique and yet so beautifully delicious. For starters I ordered the corn cheese which is a classic Korean side dish. This corn cheese was very unique, o have never had one with crab stick and it added a sweet but savory taste. The cheese was perfectly soft yet had a grilled flavor. Me and my partner shared the Island and Ellie roll. The tinge of lemon and spicy tuna on the Island roll was a nice touch to a classic sushi roll. The Ellie was my favorite. The nice flavor of the fish comes out perfectly and it was nicely accented by the avocado and scallion. 10/10

I love this spot they were very welcoming. This was our first time we were originally going to just get sushi but the waitress suggested the stone pot which was amazing. I love the option of creating your own sushi roll. Everyone was very nice and we will definitely be back!!

The second stop on our Tour de Krog Street Market (first was Gu's Dumplings), which added some freshness and seafood to our meal that we were craving from the hot weather. We got a specialty roll, and a side of kimchi, with some miso soup. The roll was my favorite, slightly more thinly sliced than some sushi, but the flavors were there and nicely presented. The wasabi was oddly more neon green but still tasted ok. The kimchi was a bit plain, with no other vegetables than the cabbage (like carrot, onion, green onion) and seemed to be more of the stem pieces than leaves; not the best part. The miso was good, not too salty or watery. We'd probably come here again and try some more sushi, and maybe other sides as well.

They have the best sushi and the customer service is always amazing. I recommend the island roll.

We stumbled upon this place after checking out Krog City Market on a rainy day. My bf LOVES sushi, I'm just meh about it. I could see a twinkle in his eye as he walked by so I suggested we try a roll since it wasn't quite dinner. We got the Island Roll and a tiger beer and it was AMAZING. The staff was SO friendly, the food was SO GOOD, service was super quick! Highly recommend.

This is absolutely my go to spot every time I'm at Krog's. It was maybe about after my 4th visit at Makimono when I found out that the restaurant actually extends further behind the sushi bar, which is the cool fact that many people don't know about. There's a door on the left side of the bar that you can enter in to the restaurant, and you wouldn't believe this cute cozy place is actually a 2-story restaurant with a sweet little attic/upstairs seatings! The menu has changed with the new management, and now Makimono offers a lot more than just sushi rolls. They have added tons of Korean dishes, which is SUPER EXCITING bc now that means I don't have to drive 40 min plus to Duluth to get quality korean food anymore! Before getting to food, let me just say their flavored margaritas are the BOMB. I've tried both strawberry marg and watermelon marg (only $5.50 each - say whaaaat) and now I'm hooked. You can even get the margaritas "to-go" if you want to walk around the Krog's market with your drink. Idk whether the watermelon margarita is a seasonal item or not, but you must get it if you're at Krog's!! Food. Their sushi never disappoint. I've pretty much tried almost all of their special rolls and they're all so delicious. Obviously the sushi is the main event, but their other entrees are top-notch as well. I've tried their bento box and bibimbop, which are highly recommended if you're feeling adventurous beyond sushi. I love all the servers and everyone at Makimono - they're super friendly and make sure you are taken care of and satisfied! Makimono continues to be my favorite at Krog's and will probably remain my fav for a while.

Silly me, I thought I was sitting at a sushi bar. It was odd that they made me pay for everything first at the register, as we usually order as our appetites dictate. I refused water, as I don't believe in single use plastic. So I was absolutely furious when they handed me a plastic bag for of plastic containers. I did not order the food to go. I never order food to go for this reason. I will never go back. Sad. I looking to splurge on nice early dinner out with my daughter.

this was my first time here and it was AMAZING. we sat on the bar area (as it's the only part of the establishment open during the week--the back restaurant is open on the weekend after 4pm) i ordered the salmon (sake) nigiri, the rainbow roll, and the calamari. the fish tasted so fresh and they made the sushi in front of you. the calamari was okay but the breading was a little thick. everything else in the photos was really good as well! they also have $3 shots of tequila and $5 margaritas. it was a great first time here & i cant wait to come back!!
