Nagomiya

"Takashi Otsuka (Wagaya, Chirori, Wagaya Groceries) opened this restaurant at the Tens on West complex on West Peachtree Street. Nagomiya translates to “house of tranquility,” and Otsuka wants to provide a peaceful dining experience for guests at his new Japanese restaurant in Midtown. Serving both lunch and dinner, the menu here features ramen, rice bowls, and a large selection of sushi, and sashimi as well as dishes like karaage fried chicken, teppan hamburg steak, and panko prawns." - Eater Staff, Henna Bakshi

"A reservation guarantees you a private booth in Nagomiya, but you can also likely grab one if you just walk into this Midtown izakaya during lunch hours. Draw the yellow curtain to close your private dining booth, so you can tune out the outside world and even eat your giant lobster tempura rolls with a fork if you desire. Then take out a book. Hell, start a new television series since their giant menu of solid Japanese small plates, ramen, and sushi options give you every reason to make this a long, multicourse meal. A button discreetly summons the wait staff if and when you decide you’re ready for another Sapporo beer.  " - juli horsford, nina reeder

"If Nagomiya’s logo font looks a little familiar, it’s because this Midtown izakaya is run by the owners of the Wagaya sushi restaurants. And you’ll find a similar menu with Japanese small plates, decent ramen, and lots of solid sushi options. But Nagomiya is where we prefer to go for solo lunches and special date nights. Draw the yellow curtain to close off your private dining booth, and it might as well be one of those romantic, dimly lit wine cellar setups. Now prying eyes can’t judge you for eating your giant lobster tempura rolls with a fork. And a button discreetly summons the wait staff when you want to add more to your order." - Nina Reeder
