Top Best Japanese Restaurants in East Cobb

"West Midtown folks really are blessed with some of the finest restaurants in town, and Eight Sushi is up there in terms of sushi and just overall excellence. Order the tuna crisp appetizer, topped with truffle oil, which smells and tastes heavenly with the umami popping off with every bite. They’re a chic date night spot, with a hip and trendy ambiance, and they’ve got a patio too if you’re more comfortable dining al fresco at this time."

"Eight sushi may be the new kid on the block, but it is already making waves through the restaurant scene in Atlanta. People are flocking to this Westside sushi for its fresh and contemporary take on sushi dishes. WIth a family in the Japanese food industry, this restaurant is the next step in an evolution of a family owned skill."

"In a city that likes its sushi joints to have sex appeal (see: Umi), Sushi Hayakawa is a conservative outlier. Set in a strip mall on Atlanta’s Buford Highway, Sushi Hayakawa has simple green walls, a smattering of tables, and a thick wooden sushi bar. Behind that bar is chef Atsushi Hayakawa, his signature red towel rolled around his head, slicing chunks of abalone flown in from Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market."

"Chef Atsushi Hayakawa’s Buford Highway sushi house continues to dominate Atlanta’s sushi scene. Reservations are required and should be made well in advance; especially for those who want to watch Chef Hayakawa prepare dinner himself. The two-and-a-half hour honkaku omakase is a one-on-one, 14-course sushi extravaganza with the chef — a must for any sushi lover."

"DoravilleBuford Highway may not be the place you’d expect to find a high-end sushi bar. But really, it makes perfect sense: it’s tucked away from the hordes of Midtown and Buckhead, mostly frequented by Japanese families seeking authenticity. Go here for the real deal."

"BuckheadIf you have friends who won’t eat real sushi, Katana is the perfect group spot; it has an extensive teppanyaki menu, which is basically a fancy word for hibachi. Think filet mignon, sea bass, and organic chicken cooked tableside."

"Birthday Cakes don’t have to be layer cake, for a little something different try a beautifully decorated Bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. They come in a variety of sizes from tiny to massive but for a birthday party of up to 20 guests the 10 inch Bundt cake is perfect. For a larger party get an 8 inch Bundt cake stacked on top of a 10 inch Bundt cake to serve up to 30 guests www.nothingbundtcakes.com"

"If giants were real and they had a sweet tooth, they'd eat this indulgent creation. Bring a buddy or prepare for a severe sugar rush before sticking a fork into the two overgrown slices of massive challah bread slathered with peanut butter and encrusted with bran flakes, cut in half and swimming in a shallow pool of brown sugar butter and caramelized bananas."

"Multiple locations fuel Atlanta’s pastry loving taste buds with unbelievable baked goods. But the cinnamon rolls and dreamy Peanut Butter French Toast are where it’s at. The rolls are drenched in a gooey frosting-like glaze and have warm soft center, while the mile high French toast is satisfyingly hearty while bursting with nutty flavor."

"With full breakfast menus and coffee in tow, this bakery has expanded with multiple locations across the city and provides everything from fresh bread and bagels to sweeter muffins and cinnamon rolls. The decorative cakes will wow any party guest."

"This is the only free-standing restaurant in the Buckhead Atlanta development. They will showcase French fare and menu favorites from their original New York Location. Executive chef Julien Jouhannaud, who worked under Michelin star chef Alain Ducasse, oversees the "culinary direction" of the restau..."

"You’re going to be truly impressed by their crepes suzette, made with caramelized orange juice and grand marnier that smells just divine. Order up a baker’s basket of authentic French pastries to double up on carbs to start your Sunday funday!"

"This upscale French bistro has everything one would expect from a fancy eatery in Paris or Bordeaux. The yellow wine cart, the unique paintings, and even the outdoor heating pillar..."

"Nikolai’s Roof, which sits atop the Hilton Atlanta, boasts world-class dining: It was the first restaurant in the Southeastern U.S. to receive the coveted Four Star Award from AAA, and has held onto the honor for 27 consecutive years (longer than any other restaurant in Atlanta). The fine dining menu presents modern American cuisine with Russian influences, more than 900 wine options, and signature house-infused vodkas. Swanky sophisticated white-gloved dinner service with panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline is offered Tuesday through Saturday."

"When you think date night, you think Italian, you think French, but how does a bit of Russian flare sound?. Nikolai’s Roof on top of the Hilton in downtown boasts one of the most stunning views of Atlanta’s evergrowing skyline. The menu is ever-changing with the seasons as they source their ingredients from local purveyors, but you can expect only the best from this award-winning Atlanta institution."

"Nikolai’s Roof is the longest active restaurant in Atlanta to receive the AAA Four Diamond award for 27 consecutive years. It boasts a contemporary cuisine with a Russian influence. An example of this is their Braised Beef Tenderloin Piroshki."
