Neko is a chill step into the high-budget omakase scene - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Dinner for two at the city’s top omakase counters can cost as much as a sale fare from Hartsfield to Haneda. So at $150 per person, Westside’s Neko is a smart deal—especially since their 13-course meal cherry-picks from the most popular dishes from Omakase Table and Ryokou (both from the same team). Consider it a teaser to the more exciting feature-length films—there are fewer courses and slightly lower-grade ingredients. You might not get enough food to fill you up, but the experience is still charming. The chef spreads his attention to everyone at the 12-seat counter, while he filets, grills, and plates. The nigiri is sliced and scored in a manner that makes it almost liquefy once it hits your tongue. And between the spacious room, gorgeous ceramic plates, and a waitstaff so attentive they probably dabble in telepathy, Neko is a good choice. Come for a special date or celebration since there are few places that offer this type of VIP treatment for the price. photo credit: Tabia S.

All the nigiri, which change by the season, are good, as expected. But the seared awabi course brings out the most flavors with a nice mix of savory chewiness from the abalone, sweetness from lime, and a little heat from a dap of chili oil on dry-roasted mushrooms. photo credit: Nina Reeder" - Nina Reeder

Overall great food and chef, but we left with a little bit of a bad feeling after getting the bill - enough so, that we won't recommend to others. We were ready for 150 pp cost, and cost of extras (drinks and extra sushi). What was upsetting was them offering a different beer that "wasn't on the menu yet" then being charged $20 (when every other beer was around 10 bucks). And them pushing a whiskey on to my wife (suggesting a taste after my wife mentioned the pretty bottle and liking Japanese whiskey when walking by the display) then charging $34 for a single serving. Again this was off menu, not something we actively asked for, and not in line with the rest of their similar menu items. Just felt skeezy the way it happened. If items aren't comparably priced then say so. Even the water was annoying, we just wanted tap ... But okay "still" for 9 bucks a bottle. They even popped open the second bottle without checking or asking if we wanted another. This was like Switzerland, just in Atlanta. Based on the constant upsell and pushing off high priced items I just can't recommend Neko when there are other great sushi omakasi spots in Atlanta that don't behave this way with their customers and provide amazing sushi. Heck even high end sushi in DC is better and more adorable.

My wife and I dined here for our anniversary and the experience was great. Chef Johan Lestari did an amazing job preparing the food and informing us about everything we saw and ate. The dinning staff was very attentive and well prepared for our every need.

Came to try this restaurant and as always, was so delighted! Set at a very approachable price point for delicious omakase, easy to find, nice ambiance, and very friendly chef and staff :) Every bite was super yummy and it was crazy to see the attention to detail that went into it all. Everything was fresh, the rice was delicious, and I left very happy and excited for next time!
