Exceptional dining experience overall! Opted for the 16 course omakase ($78). Pros: * I like that the reservation process is very quick and easy to navigate. * The service was amazing; they were quick to refill waters and take away dishes. * The entire dining experience is about 1 hour so you can easily plan the rest of your day. * Selection of fish is great and love the different toppings they pair with the fish * The price cannot be beat! Such a good deal for the quality and service. I was also very impressed by the customer service. At the end of our meal, I had noted that we only received 15/16 courses. This was because I happened to be documenting each bite and when I raised it to the servers, after investigating, they were very kind to offer us the last course. They brought us back to the dining room and even gave us an additional piece for the mishap. Was very grateful for the kindness and service. I will be back again! read more

Food was amazing, super fresh of course! Very intimate setting there were only four of us total. I'd definitely recommend the YUZU cocktail, it was amazing, amazing. If you wanna drink, please get that one. WENT FOR LUNCH. Also, the service was amazing. The staff made sure I was okay, offered me more, and was really knowledgeable when I had questions. read more

Wanted to try a straight forward omakase spot and this was a good location. PARKING: was a bit challenging but there are a couple 1-2 hr spots that we were able to find on a busy Friday afternoon. FOOD: food was very tasty. There were some items that I would have not really expected such as the black miso cod (which was probably my least favorite). Favorite: king salmon, akami and the ebi. 16 course line up: Hamachi Ika Albacore tuna Salmon roe kanpachi * (amberjack) Botan ebi * Hirami Hokkaido Scallop Madai sea bream King salmon with yuzu pepper Akami with pickled wasabi Otoro with caviar Miso cod Wagyu with uni Spicy toro Unagi EXPERIENCE: When we entered, felt like we were being led through a dark maze... our sushi chef, Yohan, did not say much but once we started asking questions, he was super helpful in explaining menu items. Highly recommend service with him! ATMOSPHERE: they seem to want to be "traditional" in decor but there are different areas that have different feels. The music is loud/retro and not the typical Japanese calm aesthetic that they were going for. *** their co-Ed bathrooms were not the cleanest/felt more like a storage closet with toilet paper/cleaning supplies stored there. In order to be classified and have the feel of an "upscale" location, there is some room for improvement. *** Also *** if there was a menu with all the items + customization, will help the experience to be better *** read more

-- FOOD -- For the price the fish quality was good. It was very apparent that the fish used was very fresh and it did not have a fishy smell or taste. I do wish they included a miso soup and/or dessert though as it felt like not a complete meal with just the nigiri. -- SERVICE -- The service was good and the sushi chef was skilled even though the nigiri served was very classic and not creative. The server was attentively refilling our water's. I wish they provided a printed menu on what the order of the fish served for the nice was, and I wish we were provided with a drink menu when we were seated. -- AMBIANCE -- Absolutely loved the interior of the restaurant. Several intimate sushi bars create a nice quiet atmosphere. The decorations in the lounge area is nice too. Overall I think this is a good deal and a safe choice if people are looking to try their first Omakase experience in Atlanta. read more

Great introduction to an Omakase experience!! Everything was fresh, tasted amazing, and presented well. You cannot be the price. On Mondays they have free warm saki which paired well with experience. Service was on point, the chef explained everything through the whole process. Will definitely go back! read more

$78 for 16 courses but they also offer a 12 course option for slightly cheaper ($65?) The chef didn't talk too much other than when he gave us our pieces to explain what it was. I would say that the price is definitely good for the quality of the fish. Each slice was thick so you could really tell how great the quality was. Each piece was flavored in some way, either slightly with a soy sauce or topping. I will say that most of the pieces were on the saltier side. read more

Found this new omakase spot that opened in December 2025 through Instagram lol and their main differentiator is the $78 price point for 16 courses. Given the high quality of the fish and generous portion sizes I'd say it was a relatively good deal! The bar / waiting area is super dark and had a strange ambiance before we got ushered into the dining area which has 8 seats that are right next to each other (so not much personal space ). Each party got seated right to left in order of who got there first which maybe isn't great for people who made it a point to get there early. My boyfriend and I got slightly lost trying to find the location inside the plaza since the storefront is very unassuming and showed up 3rd but I somehow got the prime viewing point of the chef making everything which was really cool! The fish was all presliced which was a slight bummer since I would've loved to see them slice it right before it was served but still got to see the assembly. Some of the garnishes were on the experimental side (like chili crisp) but somehow the flavors worked alright with each other. The nigiris started out on the gentle flavor side and gradually became more pronounced in later courses. I thought the wasabi was too strong and drowned out the fish flavor for some of the earlier courses but maybe that's because I don't typically like wasabi. I felt the wagyu didn't need uni on top and perhaps even would've been a disappointment for uni fans since the wagyu flavor overpowered the uni but I'm not complaining since I don't like uni by itself. Spicy tuna roll was an odd follow up to the wagyu which felt like the main character of all the courses and it was a bit on the spicy side. That said, I really enjoyed the nigiris that I favorited in the photos! They were really delicious and memorable A couple of service mishaps that could be easily fixed and greatly elevated the experience are: - Rolled up hand towel is set at each place setting before you arrive. Unclear when you're supposed to use it, and if they came around with a tea pot of hot water that would unfurl the towel for you, that would easily level up the experience there. - Water kept getting refilled right when I was grabbing the nigiri with my chopsticks. Pretty bad timing especially since they have to precariously reach in between people to do so. Guy next to me ordered a drink which was filled to the brim and it was hard for him to get it behind his shoulder. - They were playing EDM which didn't match the vibe at all - Chef didn't explain any of the philosophy behind each course, he was pretty quiet and just announced what each item was before handing it to us and that was it Overall I'd come back if I was craving high quality nigiri but I do wish they improved their service to make the experience more elevated! read more

It seems like the front and back room experiences are very different in terms of ambiance. I specifically requested the front room and we were still seated in the back room with the weird curtain. I peaked in to the front while waiting on my husband and they looked like they were enjoying their experience a lot more. Our chef didn't really have much personality and we barely understood what each course was. It felt rushed. We did the 12 course lunch menu. The fish was high quality and we enjoyed all of them. The standouts were the salmon, scallop, and tuna. I am not sure if we would be back to try dinner. There are so many other omakase options in Atlanta now, I think you would probably get a better experience at a different location. read more

Yelper Kaylee and I decided to have a mom date. We went for lunch and basically got a private omakase experience since no one else RSVP'd, which honestly was a dream. The chef walked us through each course, explaining where the fish was sourced and how it was prepared. My favorites were the uni and toro. The fish is sourced from the Toysu market in Japan. The ambiance is very dark and cozy, which adds to that elevated, almost exclusive feel. Fortunate to find parking since it is in the Brookhaven area. read more

The staff here is delightful. The older lady hostess is so sweet and customer friendly. I started in the bar while waiting on my other friends. I've been to a LOT of omakase across ATL, NYC, and CHI. And Michelin star omakase. Love omakase. I found the fish to be fresh, but it's not the best omakase I've had. I think more hype than anything imo. The handing of the sushi through a little opening is odd to me. The chef, while friendly, didn't go into much detail about the fish. They should likely have a menu so you know the fish for each course. You can barely see the chef. I did find their bar menu to be VERY offputting. I was charged $39 for a g4 reposado bartenders special that was well balanced but not spirit forward. In no world should a drink be that pricey. IF I return I wouldn't drink. Things like this (bar greed) turn me off about places. My gf ordered 2 and was shocked when she had a $80 bar tab alone. You can also order other nigiri and my friend ordered a hand roll. There was no matcha or dessert offered fyi so maybe that's changed. But I am now read ing when you go to the back room they cut those things out yet still charge the same. I don't think I would return for $120 - this was not the experience. read more

Heard a lot of amazing reviews about this place that recently opened and was lucky to get a reservation. If you love sushi, 1678 Omakase is a must, especially for the price. Every course was -- super fresh fish, clean flavors, and perfectly balanced bites. Our Chef, Chef Joe took a lot of time and effort to curated a lot of care into each piece, from the knife work to the seasoning. Chef Joe explained what each piece was paired with without being over the top, which made it easy to appreciate the different fish and textures. The progression of the courses was spot on, and nothing felt rushed. The vibe is relaxed, with a separate waiting room which they plan to turn into a hand roll bar. They have super limited seating, 8 guest at most, making the experience super intimate. Hands down one of the best omakase experiences I've had. Already made another reservation for this weekend! At $78 for a 16 course omakase, this price can't be beat here in Atlanta. Here are the ones that were included in the course + I ordered a Kani Nigiri as well: 1. Hamachi - Yellow Tail 2. Squid - Ika 3. Albacore with Ponzu Sauce & Scallion 4. Botan Ebi - Sweet Prawn 5. Kanpachi - Amberjack with Ginger Scallion Sauce (reminded me of the Ginger Scallion Sauce for Hainanese Chicken) 6. Hirame - Fluke with Lime Zest 7. Madai - Sea Bream with a Chili Crisp Sauce 8. Ikura - Salmon Roe 9. Hotate - Hokkaido Scallop with Charcoal Salt 10. Miso Black cod with Yuzu Miso Sauce 11. King salmon with Yuzu Pepper Sauce 12. Akami - Bluefin Lean Tuna with Pickled Wasabi (had a kick to it) 13. Chutoro - Applewood Smoked Fatty Tuna with Caviar) 14. Otoro - Fatty Tuna with Pickled Daikon) 15. Wagyu with Uni (Uni from California) 16. Toro Hand Roll 17. Unagi - BBQ Eel 18. Kani -Blue Crab read more

U N I 2gether 4ever Check out 1678 Omakase, Brookhaven's first Omakase spot. 16-course for $78, hence the name lol. They also have 12 or 20-course option available. We opt'd for the Signature 16 course & it was the perfect portion. The freshly whisked matcha compliments it well since they don't have drinks menu for now so you can BYOB. Intimate 8 counter seatings w/ Chef Johan, a must visit before they change the name to 16100 or something higher LMAO :P Here's our line-up: 1. Hamachi (Yellowtail) 2. Ika (Squid) 3.

I've been to a lot of omakase, some VERY pricey, but this was hands down the best experience I've had! It's a very intimate dining experience, max seating is only 8 people per group. Definitely an upscale experience, so dress nice! They have deep house music playing which gives it a chic vibe. We came early and the staff were all super polite and professional. Our sushi chef, chef Joe, was funny, and very talented. Every course of the 16 course meal was hand made right in front of us and served by the chef straight to our plate. The food was phenomenal. Each hand crafted course had distinct and vibrant flavor profiles. We did the 16 course experience (which only cost 78$ per person! So affordable!), and chef Joe added the unagi nigiri on the house. We ordered the Kani to as extra. 1. Hamachi yellow tail 2. Squid ika 3. Albacore ponzu sauce with scallion 4. Botan ebi (sweet prawn) 5. Kanpachi (amberjack with ginger scallion sauce) 6. Hirame (fluke with lime zest) 7. Madai (sea bream with chili sauce) 8. Ikura (salmon roe) 9. Hotate (Hokkaido scallop with charcoal salt) 10. Miso Black cod with yuzu miso sauce 11. King salmon with yuzu pepper sauce 12. Akami (bluefin lean tuna with pickled wasabi) 13. Chutoro (apple wood smoked fatty tuna with caviar) 14. Otoro (fatty tuna with pickled daikon) 15. Wagyu with uni 16. Toro hand roll 17. Unagi bbq eel 18. Kani (blue crab) I cannot stress each course was sensational in presentation, flavor, and freshness. As I'm writing this review I'm already looking to book another reservation! read more

Great place for lunch omakase! Came here on a Saturday lunch and did the 16 course omakase. Was planning to do the 12 course but everything was so great that we decided to do 16. The quality of the fish was amazing and it was a nice 8 person setting. Took around an hour or so for the whole meal and the chef was very knowledgeable about the fish and had worked at omakase and restaurants for over 10 years. There were some fun bonuses like matcha cheesecake and matcha with our meal. All in all I was super impressed by everything especially the otoro hand roll. Will definitely be back! read more

16 pieces for $78 is a good deal for the amount of pieces you get. I loved the Wagyu and uni hand roll as well as the squid nigiri. Unique flavor pairings, not sure if I liked some of them such as the salmon with citrus. Slices were on the thinner side for me. Loved the miso cod hand roll as well. read more

This is the best sushi in Atlanta and likely the southeast United States. I first came on Valentine's Day and have returned at least once a month since. The rice is seasoned perfectly and each piece of fish is delicious. My favorite pieces of nigiri are the sake, botan ebi, and hirame. The fish is flown in from Toyosu and is FRESH. The atmosphere is cozy and--as an extremely tall woman--there is not much elbow room at the sushi bar, but I don't mind. The owners have clearly been working day and night on finishing the interior of the restaurant and it shows. I am over the moon that they have found success because I want 1678 to stick around. read more

1678 Omakase is an excellent value and a standout among omakase options in Atlanta. Sixteen courses for $78 is a fantastic price, and the quality of the fish easily holds its own against much more expensive experiences. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and thoughtfully presented. The chef was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does, which added to the overall experience. For the quality and variety offered, this ranks among the better omakase experiences in the city. This is a newer spot, having opened just within the last couple of months, but it's absolutely worth checking out. Highly recommend giving it a try at least once--especially if you enjoy omakase without the luxury price tag. read more

An absolute STEAL for omakase!!! 1678 offers a 12 course $58 lunch option which is one of the cheapest omakases I've seen in Atlanta. Seating is limited, so with a party of 5 we were sat in the back in the hand roll bar area, but we still had a sushi chef with us the whole time. The fish was super fresh and prepared amazingly! We didn't have anything super fancy, just 12 pieces of extremely fresh nigiri. My favorites were the otoro, salmon, eel, and scallop but my fiance and I rated each fish and everything was over a 7/10 with the worst being salmon roe and squid (still good but just personal taste lol) Overall I would highly recommend 1678 especially now when it's newer and not as established! read more

A crazy deal. 16-course nigiri-only omakase with a relaxed, modern ambience. The name 1678 comes from 16 courses for $78. The nigiri is pre-sliced, but fresh. They will also open a hand-roll bar adjacent to the omakase counter. Complimentary matcha and dessert. Course is not fixed, but upon my visit was: * Squid (torched, wasabi): Clean and lightly smoky. * Kanpachi (ginger scallion sauce): Bright and well-balanced. * Ikura: Fresh, though fairly standard. * Flatfish (soy brush, lime zest): Subtle and refreshing. * Torched Albacore: Sweet, clean, and not fishy at all. * Hokkaido Scallop (charcoal salt): Sweet scallop with pleasantly gritty charcoal salt. * Madai / Red Snapper (garlic chili crisp): Slightly fishy and ligament-heavy; chili crisp overpowered the fish. * Salmon (citrus accent): Excellent- bright, balanced, and memorable. * Akami (pickled wasabi): Delicious. Pickled wasabi is quite potent, may be too strong for some. * Chutoro w scallions * Otoro w caviar * Miso Black Cod: salty * A5 Wagyu with Uni: yummy, but the uni dominates and makes it hard to fully appreciate the wagyu. * Negitoro Hand Roll: Generous tuna portion, but salty with an imbalanced rice-to-fish ratio. * Eel: Served warm with good temperature, but otherwise unremarkable and slightly salty. read more

Really delicious. An overall lovely experience. I love that there's an option for an omakase lunch. There is a lot of parking around, but not many open spaces on a weekend afternoon in that busy shopping center. Give yourself extra time to park. I wish we lived closer so we could go back more often. The fish and shellfish were outstanding. The extra flavor touches were delightful as well. My favorite extra touches were pickled wasabi on one piece and a dab of a yuzu pepper sauce on another. read more

1678 Omakase - Johan the sushi chef and his beautiful box of fish. (Plus mini blowtorch!) - Japanese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Amazing and affordable omakase spot! It's a very cozy restaurant with an intimate 8-10 seater chef's counter! Our sushi chef was super friendly and easy going. We were seated for a 16 course omakase, but some of our party upgraded to the 20 course with no problem! Everything tasted fresh and yummy. The pricing was also very affordable compared to many other omakase spots I've been to, and the quality and craft did not drag! We also dined on a Monday which is unlimited sake night. Overall, great spot for date night or to share a celebratory dinner! I'd definitely come again! read more

I read some reviews for 1678 Omakase and they were so over the top amazing that I assumed friends of the owner had written them ... but still wanted to try it. The reviews are legit! I couldn't agree more! 1678 Omakase is not only the BEST sushi in Atlanta but the BEST I have ever eaten including in Japan and NYC. Wow! So fresh, so creative, so delicious! Friendly sushi chef... creative such as truffles on the melt in your mouth Otoro, charcoal salt on the scallop that is so soft but not chewy, perfectly fresh hamachi with wasabi all on warm sushi rice ... and each bite was perfect. The price is great too ... $78 for the 16 course ... (it's a Resy restaurant so if you have any of the AMEX cards that give you Resy credit, you can use that there ... which is what I did and split it between two cards.) i didn't realize they only opened 4 days ago. I feel lucky to have gotten a reservation. The woman next to me was there for her third time! There's only two sushi bars with seating for 8 people each. You have a specific time for a reservation. The matcha is freshly ground in front of you at the sushi bar for the tea. And to top it off at the end, they give you a little square of homemade Matcha cheesecake. Here's the list for the signature omakase. I don't like eel so they gave me another Cho toro. - [ ] Hamachi - [ ] Squid - warm rice fresh sprinkled with truffle salt - [ ] Albacore with scallion - [ ] Amberjack with scallion sauce - [ ] Striped jack - [ ] Salmon roe - ikura - [ ] Seabream with chili crunch - [ ] Scallop with charcoal salt - so fresh , a little spice - [ ] Black cod misu wrapped in crispy seaweed - [ ] Blue fin tuna - [ ] King salmon yuzu sauce - [ ] Fatty tuna and truffle - [ ] Uni - [ ] Toro handroll crispy seaweed warm rice.

Incredible food and service! The pleasant ambiance complements perfectly crafted drinks.

3.5 stars. This is my first omakase and I expected an experience, but 1678 didn't deliver. Sushi was good, and it seems to be a good deal for omakase, but there was no chef engagement- he didn't even listen when we asked for less wasabi, and we had to ask him again (in most dishes, wasabi was pretty overwhelming). We barely saw what the chef was doing from our spot at the left end of the counter near the bathroom, and he wasn't explaining anything, just put the dish in our plate stating which fish it was. The counter has 8 openings or "windows" in front of the chairs, which is a little odd, and behind the chef everything is covered in black cloth, so nothing noteworthy in terms of decor. We got to try some dishes that were very well-done, like the black cod or uni. Overall, I expected more. read more

I AM SO SO PUMPED THAT WE FINALLY HAVE AN OMAKASE SPOT IN BROOKHAVEN. located in town brookhaven with free parking. youll find a very chic speakeasy vibe storefront that looks unlike the rest. its very cozy the main room has only 8 seats and they have a side back room! Not only is this one of the first true omakase but this was the BEST omakase of my 2025. Miles ahead of the others ( no offense to them.) the price point was incredible and so worth it for the fresh fish and the selection! everything was absolutely incredible! my favorite was Hamachi- Yellowtail, Shima-Aji - Striped Jack then the Chu Toro A5 Wagyu with Toro and caviar handroll! the service was incredible! Thank you chef Jo, Jak, and Mo for incredible service! yall are the best and cant wait to come back! BEST OMAKASE EVER!!! read more

I would give it 3.5-4 stars, this is a good introductory place for Omakase to see if you'd enjoy a high-end experience. There were a few shining pieces, everything was good but there were a few that were forgettable or weren't the highest quality that you would want for an Omakase. We enjoyed our experience, but to make it great we would expect higher quality fish and more interaction from the chef. It was fun but we probably won't come back for another experience at this restaurant, it made me want to explore a higher-end experience. If your expectations are set correctly on that, you'll have a great time trying 1678. read more

Not real Japanese omakase, the chef is from Mexico. You get what you pay. Won't go back again!

Not the Omakase experience I was expecting. We were a party of 4 and was seated in the counter in the back room separated by a wall with small cut outs for individual seating where the chef would pass through the sushi, similar to being fed in a prison cell. We could barely see the chefs face and there was no conversation whatsoever. Once in a while, when he felt like it, he would let us know what fish we were eating. The sushi was tasty, but pieces were extremely small and does not meet my expectation for omakase. Dissappointed! read more
