    Reservations were made for a birthday gathering of friends and families and once all parties arrived we were seated promptly and tended to immediately. Daniela was our server and she grabbed all our drink and starter orders and we were on the way to a great experience! Food was exceptional, as always. Our chef was engaging and interactive with the entire group. There was never a feeling of being rushed or being just a number and a section of seats. I really could go on but feel it's enough to say this was a great, fun-filled and amazing experience.

    We've been to Nakato many many, times over the decades but it's been almost 15 years since we came to the hibachi room. We were celebrating the birthday of one of our adult children and came with three generations of folk ranging from 24 to 97 ... and we all had a blast! And we weren't alone! Almost every table around us was celebrating a birthday ... it seems to be the thing! Our chef and our server were amazing. And they even accomodate gluten free making it sure easy. There's a reason Nakato has been there since 1972!!

    We love coming here and asked our friends to try this out. We are a party of 6. Food and most of the service was good. They spilled my $32 bottle of sake all over my pants and just came to give me a napkin 5 min later. During dinner, they accidentally dropped the steak into my friends lap. I’m glad we went and I paid $32 to have my sake poured on my clothes

    Our Chef Ray-Ray was excellent. It would been nice if Nakatos still accepted cash. Nakatos is my favorite hibachi in Atlanta. The sushi was good also.
