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!

Buckhead

About the restaurant

Nobu Atlanta is situated at Phipps Plaza in the affluent Buckhead neighborhood. With influence from Atlanta's lush canopy of trees and Japanese arts and crafts, the bar and lounge area features a white onyx bar volume that sits in front of a 12-foot-long river rock art installation while folded cast glass pendants cast a soft glow on the bar. The dining room takes you to traditional Japanese garden pavilions that were often used for ceremonies and rituals while overscale pendants made from shoji paper create the look of elongated, abstracted paper lanterns. Design language that is a continuation of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's imaginative and innovative culinary offerings celebrates nature and is integrated through the use of different wood tones

Great food, wait staff was excellent! Atmosphere lively, but not loud. Checkin staff needs training on how to greet people in a friendly, helpful, and caring way.

What a turnaround. We have been going to Benihana for over 15 years, and my last visit reminded me of why we love it. The chef, Chris, was excellent and brought back memories of how the food used to taste. He could tell we were vets, so he introduced a few new tricks, and the food was cooked to the finest!!! Service was outstanding as well. Our server was ahead of the game on everything. We never had to wait or ask for anything. We also got to speak to the new GM, Frank, to thank him for the amazing experience. You can tell there has been a change in the energy and attitude of the staff. We definitely will be coming back.
