My family and I enjoyed our recent dinner at Nakato (2nd time to visit). HIghly recommend tatami room even though there may be a slight upcharge. Staff is friendly and attentive. I believe that we were there for at least 2.5 hours and were never hurried. Their sake selection is good and they carry some beers that are still imported... More

I love sushi and I am spoiled by the fact that we have so many wonderful options for amazing sushi on Buford Hwy. After reading the reviews on here, I was excited about having an option closer to Midtown. The sushi here was not bad, but it was't great either. There was no 'WOW' factor. It was just your run...

Traditional, not trendy- but excellent sushi bar! Japanese chefs, ultra fresh traditional sushi in a tranquil setting. If you want more excitement, try the teppan rooms. You can also order sushi from the dining room or one of the lovely private tatami rooms. For a special treat call ahead for an "Omakase" dinner of the chef's special selections. You will... More

Good chef specials. Good service and atmosphere. Had a difficult time finding the place with imap. Yelp was much more helpful. Average wine list.

They each do what they do really well, consistently and that is why this is a create... More

We travel up and down the east coast and frequent many japanese Restaraunts. This one has to be in our top 5! Loved it!!

I thought the restaurant was nice, but to me the food was just okay. I also did not feel like the service was the best as I was out of a beverage for awhile before the waiter came by to fill it up. I had sushi with a friend and we ordered 3 rolls. I only liked 1 of the... More

My wife and I have had dinner at Nakato about a dozen times over the last six months. Inevitably, we sit at the sushi bar and have head chef Yoshiharu “Kaki” Kakinuma serve us omakase-style, choosing our dishes for us. Having tried just about all of the top-tier sushi places in Atlanta, I can confidently say that Kaki prepares the... More

One night we got out of a meeting extremely late and had a craving for Hibachi and Sushi. We headed over to Benihana and it was closed. So, myself and some other patrons in the parking lot brainstormed and came up with Nakato on Cheshire Bridge. We immediately called to see what time they closed and they said 10 PM.... More
