Japanese wagyu omakase with creative cocktails and intimate ambiance
"The team behind NoriFish Sushi & Izakaya in Sandy Springs is opening a second location in Buckhead. They'll be taking over the space formerly occupied by the omakase steakhouse Prefecture (from the same team). We'll be pouring one out for Prefecture, which made an appearance on our best steakhouses guide before its demise. Luckily it looks like some form of beef will be on the menu at NoriFish with their wagyu tacos and sliders." - juli horsford, jacinta howard

"Backed by the team behind Okiboru Tsukemen and Ramen and chef Sean Park of NoriFish, Prefecture Japanese Steakhouse pays homage to the various cattle-raising districts in Japan with a six or eight-course tasting menu centered around wagyu-breed beef and its spread across the world. Rare cuts and unique preparations tell its story, from Zabuton chuck center with Fuji apple ponzu, garlic oil, crispy shallots, and chives to a New York strip aburi with caviar and a truffle wagyu slider. Add-ons and self-designed tastings are also available at what is only the second steak omakase in the country. Reservations highly encouraged." - Su-Jit Lin
"This isn’t your grandparents' steakhouse. Electronica tunes coming from the speakers reinforce that, but the omakase-style Japanese steakhouse should cement a slot on your big steak dinner rotation. Prefecture in Buckhead offers a tasting menu of all their best dishes, including lobster rice, a cheesy wagyu slider, and three other steak dishes. The “I’ll leave it up to you” doesn’t work quite as well for steak—we wish we would’ve been able to select the temps ourselves. But the quality and tastiness of every dish earns a solid A (or should we say A5). " - nina reeder, juli horsford
"Prefecture Japanese Steakhouse offers a tasting menu featuring cuts of wagyu beef prepared in a variety of ways. Think course after course of Zabuton chuck center with Fuji apple ponzu, garlic oil, crispy shallots, and chives, New York strip aburi with caviar and chips, and a truffle wagyu slider for $175 per person. Prefecture also features a la carte dishes of wagyu beef, pork belly, and fresh fish flown in from ports around the world, as well as sushi and sashimi." - Beth McKibben, Sarra Sedghi
