    Sushi and service was exceptional as usual. Umi does not disappoint!! We had a few dietary issues and everything was accommodated. We did the omakase and our final dish of lobster and scallop in an uni cream sauce was flat out amazing. We finished with dessert and had the crepe cake. Perfection! Loved our very kind server (I wish I could remember his name) but he went out of his way for us and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you!!

    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.
