Best Japanese Restaurants in College Park

Beautiful restaurant that’s decor is more on the modern side. Went on a Saturday nite and there was not a lot of patrons so we were a little worried about the quality of food and service especially since neighboring restaurants seemed packed. Much to our delight the sashimi was fresh and tasty and the shrimp and grits entree and the short rib entree met our expectations!

Good The aroma of fresh seafood fills the air, creating a truly enticing dining experience. The dishes are prepared with care, highlighting the natural flavors of the ocean's bounty. Each bite is a delightful journey for the palate, leaving a lasting impression. The elegant ambiance adds a touch of sophistication to the overall experience. It's a culinary adventure worth savoring.

Our family with 2 college aged kids had a fabulous and fun experience dining at O-Ku as part of our holiday celebrations together. We had the Osusume chef tasting menu and loved every bit of it. Our outstanding server Elena described it as a tour of the menu. It included sushi and sashimi courses as well as delicious braised beef and dessert. We also enjoyed tasting different sake's and learning more about the flavor profiles. A great experience overall!

This was our third visit to UMI and they continue to exceed our expectations on every visit. Along with a couple of dishes we knew, we tried some new items. The tuna tartare with crispy rice was amazing. The New Page roll continued to be our favorite; the lemon slices make it so unique and refreshing. The cocktails were also excellent. Our servers were professional but friendly, and were very attentive to our needs. I spilled some dipping sauce on the table and before we could even say anything, the team swooped in to clean up, replace our placemats, and get us resettled. UMI is unquestionably the best restaurant we have experienced in Atlanta.
