Unfortunately, this will be our last time going to this restaurant. Food was terrible. Chef was heavy handed with the pepper on the noodles and fried rice. Asked for well done filet mignon for me and my kid. Most of the meat was medium rare. By that time my kid was disgusted and ready to leave. Server was polite and he even noticed it. Doesn't matter if you don't think it should be cooked a certain way. I'm a paying customer and expected my food to be cooked how I ordered it.

We went to celebrate an anniversary. The service was slow, and not particularly helpful or warm. The restaurant itself was a bit scruffy and not totally clean (an absolute no-no for a Japanese restaurant!). The soy sauce container on the table was empty so had to grab one off another table. The tempura shrimp served 'on top' of the udon noodles was soggy when it arrived. The inari were good. The main positive point was that the actual sashimi and sushi, once served, was excellent. Dessert was mediocre. Meal was very expensive. Bottom line: the sashimi and sushi was the best I've had in Atlanta, but the overall experience was not great and price was high, so not sure we will be back soon.

They did say short staff so even after reservations we waited 15 mins. It was my mother’s bday dinner so we noted when we made reservations. I was expecting like birthday dessert but nope, not even a happy birthday wish. Also they forgot one of our meal and we tried to get someone for the longest time and no one would’ve come to out table. I was so upset and I felt so bad to my mom. I told my parents this place is so good and it’s one of our favorite spot, but that saying is no longer in thought and will no longer say it anymore. We told them to go ahead and cancel, they just blamed it on the kitchen saying they must have forgotten. I was expecting an apology but nope! I was just so disappointed! I loved this place but the waiter and the waitress was just not IT! Btw, food is good. However it doesn’t matter if the food was made from 3 star michelin reservations if the service is bad, EVERYTHING seems awful! Atmosphere, staffs, and food. If the food is bad but the service is good, you still leave the restaurant with good feelings have something good to say about.

wow, not the Nakato I remember from my last special day. Noisy children, people in tshirts and shorts, didn't even feel like I was in a Japanese restaurant. The food was still really good, but wasn't the experience I had remembered from prior visits, now it's just not special. My server was excellent and attended to everything with good timing the entire night. The mixed tempura was done perfectly, a nice assortment of veggies and seafood. The Wagyu on hot stone was incredible, man that was good. They were out of the matcha creme bruleee so I had a scoop of ice cream to end my birthday. Still great food, just not a great experience. Oh, and it's mandatory valet now and they left my car unlocked the whole time, not cool.

Dinner and service was great! However, I was a little startled at the attire of some patrons as we continued to dined. The attire suggested on the site states business casual. We we’re dressed as such. It was disappointing to see patrons walking in with workout attire, sneakers and thigh high ripped shorts. I do believe dress code policies should be enforced especially when it’s clearly defined on the website

We were excited to finally dine at this Atlanta staple. I will save the issues with timing and service because in the world we live in, it is to be expected. But the food!? Cold cooked frozen frozen generic gyoza. The edamame was oily, the sushi was just ok. Nothing special and the chefs special Wagyu was just an overcooked 80/20 burger! The pepper it was served in was filled with grease. Overall not worth the trip or the $180. Sad.

My 4s are 4 1/2s. We are not connoisseurs of sushi and sashimi, so what we tried was limited. A Chef starter, with five different cuts of tuna, was excellent, as was the salad trio. After that it was tempura, all of which was very good. The lobster tail selection was cooked perfectly, with the lightest batter. Same for the soft-shelled crab. Just ice cream for dessert. We preferred the ginger over the green tea; the latter was good, but more of a bitter green tea flavor than I’m used to. Overall, it was a very nice experience. Unfortunately, getting there was much more difficult because of the road works. If you are traveling from the north side, you have Cheshire Bridge closed, and Piedmont Road a two-lane disaster. It took nearly an hour from Buckhead. After dinner the gridlock at the Monroe Drive entrance to I-85 had cleared, so that provided a faster return trip.

My daughter and I had a great experience. We went early and had reservations. We ordered the Take Ume sushi, drinks and shared the combination tempura shrimp and teriyaki chicken. We were stuffed. Drinks are strong but big for the 13 dollar price tag. Definitely be prepared to spend money. A nice night out.
