We had an amazing experience at MF sushi Atlanta. Everything about the meal was flawless. The baked lobster tempura was a standout—flavorful, and absolutely delicious. It was the perfect blend of textures and flavors, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting. The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented, and every dish felt like it was crafted with care. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. One of the good sushi spots we go to, and will continue to come back.

Great overall experience. Sushi was fresh and met expectations. It wasn't very busy that evening and service was friendly and prompt. Definitely a whiskey bar type atmosphere with dim lighting, which is not a bad thing. Prices are what I'd expect for the locale. Otoro carpaccio was probably the highlight of the dishes ordered.
