Just as the name suggests, this restaurant serves scrumptious seafood - and it's all fresh and of good quality.

Other recommendations include Fresh Fish steamed in Bamboo, Duck Egg Roll and the New York Strip Steak Sandwich. For those with a sweet tooth, try the Bread Pudding or Hot Fudge Sundae.

A tasty cultural clash |
2183 Roswell Road (East Lake Shopping Center) Atlanta, GA 30062 United States +1 770 560 1738 |
This unusual eatery blends the influences of three cultures to produce one fantastic menu. Not quite a Chinese bistro or Japanese steakhouse, Classic Gourmet is classic American in a melting pot sort of way. If the menu hasn't quite made up its mind, the decor leaves no doubt as to the Oriental leanings. Seafood, chicken, and steak selections are prepared in the customary Chinese, Japanese, and American fashions. For a sampling of all three cultures, take a trip through Classics's diverse buffet, which runs $7 at lunchtime, $11 for dinner. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cross-Cultural Asian Cuisine |
1424 North Highland Avenue Atlanta, GA 30306 United States +1 404 888 0777 http://www.doccheys.com |
Popular for Asian fusion at shoestring prices, this trendy spot blends elements from the cuisine of many Asian nations to produce a truly unique menu. The noodle soups and mixed Asian pastas are great, or try one of several cabbage wraps or the Chinese scallion pancakes as an appetizer. Don't let the crowd scare you away; the line moves quickly. The cozy interior features tiny tables arranged with little elbowroom. For more space, wait a few minutes for a seat on the elevated patio that looks out over Highland Avenue.

For those in search of a dining experience focused on contemporary fare and top-notch service, Eurasian Bistro is high on the list for Decatur residents. The menu specializes in the pairing of traditional flavors and Asian-inspired sauces. Some of the stand-out favorites include Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb with Thai Basil Sauce and Pan Seared Salmon in Choo Chee Curry with Asparagus. The dining rooms are open and airy, with seating arrangements that also offer privacy for a more intimate setting.

Sushi for Your Soul |
3188 Roswell Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 869 8319 http://www.genki-inc.com/ |
A quaint little place attached to the Voodoo restaurant, this is the place to be for traditional Japanese and the area's best sushi menu. The tropical-themed front patio is the best seat in the house if the sun is shining. On cooler afternoons, the intimate indoor setting features bamboo and etchings reminiscent of Japanese artisans. The full sushi menu is carefully and artistically prepared, and the best-selling California rolls are sublime. Asahi and other Asian beers are available, plus select dinner wines and, of course, sake. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Authentic, Upscale Japanese |
3300 Peachtree Road (Grand Hyatt Hotel) Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 841 0314 |
For the ultimate in understated elegance and fine Japanese dining, try this popular Buckhead restaurant. The service is as gracious as the food is supreme, as servers arrive in kimono garb. The dining area, which overlooks a serene waterfall and garden, is of sukuya construction and was built by traditional craftsmen in Kyoto, Japan, before being disassembled and shipped to Atlanta in 1990. The menu is just as traditional, including kaiseki selections as well as the full range of sakes and Japanese beers and spirits. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Steaks, Japanese style |
5600 Roswell Road Atlanta, GA 30342 United States +1 404 256 0810 http://www.kobe-steaks.com/ |
This place is a cut above normal Japanese grill restaurants. In this authentic environment, the thrill of the preparation is almost as good as the actual food. Elegant, traditional Japanese decor hangs over the grills at almost every table in the main dining room. More private tables are also available, secluded in tatami rooms to the side. More than just a steakhouse, the Kobe masters also serve up chicken, seafood, and a pleasing variety of vegetarian dishes. A full wine and sake list is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fastest Knives in Town |
3861 Roswell Road Atlanta, GA 30342 United States +1 404 261 3777 http://www.momoyaga.com/momoya... |
Peacefully co-existing with Lee's Golden Buddha next door, Mo Mo Ya has been consistently rated the best place for sushi or Japanese steak in town for many years. Upscale but not stuffy, this is one steakhouse that never forgets that the show can be as important as the food. Sushi, sashimi and tempura are the most popular non hibachi selections, but most patrons opt for the traditional dining room show, with fast knives and hot cooking right at the table. Reservations are requested for parties of six or more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Chop-Chop |
1776 Cheshire Bridge Road Atlanta, GA 30324 United States +1 404 873 6582 http://www.nakatorestaurant.com |
This is really three Japanese joints in one. The restaurant is divided into a large, comfortable dining room for sit-down meals, a quiet sushi bar, and a hibachi bar where some of the best Samurai chefs wield fast knives for your amusement. A lovely Japanese garden sets the tone for the subdued, traditional atmosphere. A variety of specialty plates is offered, but most of the menu is served on an ala carte basis. Valet parking is available, as well as a full bar featuring sake and Kirin and Sapporo beers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A feast of Japan's finest |
4719 Ashwood-Dunwoody Road Atlanta, GA 30338 United States +1 770 392 9430 |
In Atlanta, Natori means sushi. The restaurant's traditional white walls, sectioned off by wooden dividers and shelving, set the stage for a truly Japanese experience. Waiters wear ornate garb and little white hats, and are friendly enough to explain the menu to novices. Full sushi and sashimi selections are offered, plus a wonderful selection of more intricate offerings, including steamed shrimp dumplings, teriyaki and tempura selections, and udon. Lunch and dinner boxes are available, or try the signature dinner specials for two. The nice children's menu is also a winner. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Delicious dinner |
2921 Paces Ferry Road Atlanta, GA 30339 United States +1 770 438 9090 http://www.orientexpressatlant... |
Located in the trendy Vinings area, this two-in-one bar offers a blend of the best of Japanese and Chinese delights. The rail-themed restaurant is split into two separate "stops" for the different menus, but any item may be ordered regardless of where you are seated. The "First Stop" features Chinese with Cantonese and Hong Kong specialties. The sushi bar at the Japanese "Second Stop" is perhaps the best spot on the North side for quick and fresh sushi. Full bar service available. See website for menu and online ordering. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Oriental Flavors in Peachtree Center |
303 Peachtree Center Avenue Atlanta, GA 30303 United States +1 404 893 0018 http://www.pacificrimbistro.com/ |
A favorite with the downtown lunch crowd, Pacific Rim serves everything from sushi to fried rice with the expertise of a local hand. A beautiful wooden sushi bar dominates the center of the restaurant. Browns and blacks are the central colors, giving the dining room a very Japanese feel. In fair weather, opt for a seat on the cordoned-off sidewalk section. The sushi is fantastic, while other dishes such as tempura and even some Korean and Malaysian favorites are good as well. Japanese beers and sake are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Attitude |
1529 Piedmont Ave NE (near Monroe Avenue) Atlanta, GA 30324 United States +1 404 875 7042 |
This is the kind of place some people love to whine and complain about. With its loud music and rude and rushed service, Ru San's is something you might expect in Manhattan's apparel district, but not in Atlanta. Nonetheless, the locals can't get enough of the place, and the brash dining room is usually packed. The inexpensive, expertly prepared sushi is what draws the crowds, although a few Asian entree items are also available. Alcoholic beverage choices are limited to beer and wine only.

Hats Off to the Chef |
3330 Piedmont Road North East (near Peachtree Street) Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 233 2005 http://www.chefsoto.com/ |
Chef Sotohiro Kosugi has been honored by Food & Wine magazine as one of the top 12 chefs in the country, becoming the first traditional Japanese chef to receive this honor. If you plan to visit this elegant steak and seafood house on the weekend, make reservations early, as Soto always draws a crowd. The best seat in the house is at the bar. From this vantage, you'll have a bird's eye view of Kosugi as the master works his magic in the kitchen. Full bar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sake, Teriyaki and Sushi, too |
308 West Ponce de Leon Avenue Atlanta, GA 30030 United States +1 404 378 8448 |
To date, this is suburban Decatur's only Japanese restaurant, and it's been well received by locals and visitors alike. The clientele at lunch is predominately business, while the dinner hour features a mix of professionals, area denizens and tourists. The traditional Japanese menu of teriyaki shrimp, chicken and other grilled favorites is nicely offset by a pleasing and diverse sushi alternative. The service is professional and cheerful, and the lively dining room makes for a pleasant visit anytime. Review © 2007, Wcities |
