    This was a nice break from cooking Christmas dinner! The noise level was extremely loud due to lots of large parties and the birthday drum. I should’ve known better to bring my Mom here who has dementia; she enjoyed until the loudest part of the afternoon. Nonetheless - the staff were super accommodating and nice! I will be back again for sure

    Great food and fun. We got a new chef so our hibachi experience was not as fun as usual.

    We have been coming to Nakato for many years, like 30!! The food & service are always delicious. However, the physical space is in need of a facelift!

    I absolutely love everything about Nakatos ATL. Im not being bias either. I moved here 17 years ago and been coming for 15 years. Management has changed and went through the pandemic and yet the food is still the best in the city for Hibachi.

    Great experience start to finish. Only thing I noticed though I didn’t order it was the crab meat looked like processed (not real) in the display.
