Honestly go somewhere else. It isn't worth it. We came here Mother's Day evening for our anniversary. We were seated with two other families. We ordered our food and...,.first off the waiter put in our order wrong, we did not receive three of the things we ordered. One half of the table were clearly regulars, a family of 5. They asked for a specific chef. The chef comes and sees them and tells them welcome back, then proceeds to start doing excessive customizations to their orders. Which is fine, but then he shorts the other half of the table. The family of five were all given triple rice while the other half of the table were given one serving of rice even though two of us ordered double. The family of 5 were treated like kings. The rest of us, what food we did get was overcooked, under seasoned, and barely portioned, except for veggies which we got more of because the family of 5 didn't want them. However it just.....felt very unfortunate to pay so much money only to leave with barely any food and without having received all we paid for, I won't be coming back again. Customer retention is important but it's nice to extend that attitude to new customers as well. I did call and speak to the manager to see if we were overcharged. He said no and I was going to let it go. Originally I wasn't going to write a review, but after we found the receipt and seeing we WERE charged for food we did not receive? It's just poor customer service. In this economy I can't justify coming back or trying again. read more

Dined here three times in the last few weeks. The first time was excellent. The food was great and the staff seemed friendly, so we return a couple of weeks later on a Sunday and it was night and day different. Sure, the food was still good, but there was a male server who was obnoxiously loud and trying to impress one of the female servers, at one pointing standing at our table and shouting "God D--n It" for some unknown reason. The female server suggested he apologize, but he kind of shrugged it off. If we didn't already have our food, I would've walked out. He didn't check on us very much during our visit and it wasn't busy, so not sure what his deal was. My wife really liked their food and as our area doesn't offer much variety other than Mexican, we went back a third time. It was busy but not quite packed just yet. She took our order, but gave it to another server to enter into their system, so my wife's order was wrong. I decided to try the ramen and it was subpar. Definitely not worth $16.99. Instead of a soft boiled egg like those served with real Japanese style ramen, they fried an egg over hard and tossed it on top. It continued to cook in the hot broth while my wife's replacement order took about 20 minutes to land at the table. The food was bad and the server blamed it on another employee. To boot, this restaurant is surrounded by neighborhoods with young parents, so there's a ton of kids in there. Between disappointing food, bad service, and noisy brats with tuned-out parents, we won't be back. read more

This place was such surprise, in the best way! I was really craving sushi and hibachi and decided to try out Atami and it didn't disappoint. Even though it was just two of us sitting at the hibachi grill, the chef still put on a great show and we had a lot of fun. They also have a great deal on sushi where it's 40% off on all sushi rolls on Tues/Sat. We were a huge fan of specifically the Phoenix roll. Definitely will be coming back! read more

I went there and waited 30 minutes after they opened just to order takeout. No one was eating there and the staff said "we just opened". They told me to wait another 15 minutes to place an order. I left at that point. read more

Good food, good service. The salmon skin roll was made very well. I had sushi and also some appetizers. I especially enjoyed the tempura and my wife said the miso soup and spider roll were great. They also offer a kids menu! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The whole experience was a disaster from start to finish. We waited 45 minutes for a table even though there were empty ones everywhere. When we finally sat down, our chef looked like he'd rather be anywhere else. He didn't do any of the cool tricks--no onion volcano, no shrimp toss, not even a smile. The food? Bland, overcooked, and greasy. My chicken tasted like rubber, the rice was swimming in oil, and the veggies were so soggy they could've been soup. The "yum yum sauce" was more like "no no sauce." To top it off, the place smelled like burnt soy sauce and the music was blasting some random techno remix that made my head hurt. I left hungry, disappointed, and smelling like I rolled in a fryer. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. read more

The food is delicious and the portions were very large and filling, would recommend. Also I really like the habachi grill and that they do a show before you eat! read more

We have been ordering delivery from Atami for years, but had never stepped foot inside the place. Well it's my birthday and we made a rare trip out to eat, and it was worth the wait! Our server, Renee, could not have been nicer or more accommodating. She understood that we were there specifically for the stuff we hadn't ordered/couldn't order for delivery. We started with a punch bowl cocktail for two. It was served in a Scorpion bowl with a ceramic volcano filled with 151 rum and set ablaze. It was kitschy and magnificent. Also pretty tasty, and not as strong as we were afraid it would be. For dinner we went with appetizers, since we'd had most of the sushi menu over the years (delivered). Highly recommend the tuna tartare! It was cool and tasty, served with four types of tobiko and a yuzu sauce. The presentation was really on point. We followed with pan-fried gyoza. We ordered Yellowtail and jalapeño, which as again presented beautifully with a ponzu sauce for dipping. Finally, we ordered the shrimp and vegetable tempura appetizer, and I am glad that we stopped there. All the food was fresh and well presented, and Renee was super helpful and patient as we gushed over the stuff. We don't get out often these days, so I guess we are at the same time really easily awed and yet also have fairly high standards. Atami more than met them. They also have a busy hibachi area and we were entertained by the chefs from a distance. Next time we go we are absolutely getting a sushi boat. Never had one. Bucket list. But the next time? I see an onion volcano in our future (assuming they do that). As a special bonus, Renee brought us a beautifully presented piece of chocolate cheesecake with a chocolate cookie crust. Even lit a candle! I made a wish, but at that point a wish seemed redundant. This was a great choice and a great night, and we might have found our new special place. read more

This is based on an Uber eats delivery. Everything was delivered fresh and in a timely manner. The Georgia roll and Indian rolls were delicious. The chicken wings were good but for 7.99 you only get 4 so I don't think they are worth it. read more

We were really wanting Chinese but our favorite place was closed. Went here thinking we could do hibachi. We did get takeout which I understand can be tough to do with hibachi. That being said, they didn't give us one of our dishes and we had to make another trip out to get it. No apologies, free egg roll, nothing. Then the soup literally tasted like dirt and the warm salads had horrible dressing. Will not be going here again! The only nice thing I can say is that the hostess was kind. Big disappointment! read more

honestly just super mid food. boring, oversized sushi rolls and burnt tasting fried rice. Waiter forgot to put an item in and stood there on his phone. No apology. And then he didn't take the forgotten item off and still charged for it. not a busy night at all either. ambience was good. read more

Food is ok, but DO NOT order online for pick up. You will get charged almost $20 or more for ordering through their website. We will not be going back to a restaurant that does that to their customers. read more

Customer service is terrible. Food is good. My family and I visited for lunch hibachi and it was great ambiance, but the server was not friendly which made our experience unpleasant. She was not a great listener and only checked back once to see if we needed anything. She did not bother to take away finished plates or offer any needed refills. read more

Very clean, efficient, great staff. Even with them hiring currently, never felt understaffed. They seem super organized and the manager is actually paying attention to the floor and kitchen. read more

Just had lunch at Atami. I always enjoy the Chicken Hibachi. The lunch portion is perfect and the food is always delicious. But today, I was waited on by a lady named Ava. She was by far the most attentive and kind server I've ever experienced here. She kept my glass full and made sure I was enjoying the meal. Great job by this young lady. read more

Best hibachi food near to our home. We ordered to our home through Uber eats, the delivery was perfect and the food arrived in perfect condition and superb packaging with enough care so that nothing spills out. About the food everything was up to our liking and there is no difference in their quality. Every time we order they have been consistent all along. Good job guys. read more

Went to this restaurant for lunch today. Ordered scallops, the smell arrived at the table before the plate was set down. I tried them - they were so "fishy" they were not edible. I explained they might want to taste before they serve this batch again-they offered a substitute however 20 minutes later the taste of that fish was a bit off as well. I left it all... paid my 20. Lunch bill and a 20 percent tip because no issue with waitress But made them aware. I'll miss you Atami. read more

So went here service was good. Waitress very attentive and friendly. The food was alright I had the Bison brisket with mash potatoes and carrots. The brisket was not flavorful it was very bland. The mashed potatoes had no flavor as well. If I ever visit again I know not to get that. The hubby got the cod fish sandwich and he said it had no flavor as well. We need some more seasoning cooks. The setting was nice,dark and quiet the place was clean and not too busy so we were in and out. The dessert was the best I had the strawberry shortcake. read more

Can you say mushy sushi? Well, that is what I experienced. Mushy and tasteless. They also serve hibachi style food, but our friends said the fried rice was not good either. Since that is a big part of the hibachi experience, I wouldn't go there to give them a second chance for my business. UPDATE: I have been fighting a upset stomach all night! I suspect the fish was not as fresh as it should have been. read more

I'm 3 weeks new to the Marietta area and Atami was my partners and I's first choice. I started with a delicious mango margarita and a scallion pancake. Although it arrived late, the pancake was crispy and tasty as I imagined. For dinner, I decided on the chicken and scallop hibachi. Catching the dirt underneath our chefs nails before he prepared our meal was the most disappointing part of the visit. Other than, hibachi cuisine is traditional in taste and the taste was spot on; I lived for the perfectly seared scallops. I'm contemplating my next visit. I'm seriously interested in their sushi menu. Til next time Atami... read more

This dinner for the six of us on New Year's Eve was amazing and very entertaining. All of us loved our seafood to steaks combinations. The fried rice had us all saying best we ever had. We also ordered two sushi rolls one amazing and the other so-so. The one negative that was shared cocktail bowl could have used a little more alcohol tasted more like a child's juice box. Our waiter and the chef both top notch. The ambiance for the festive holiday was perfect. We will definitely be back but probably won't order from the bar. read more

Amazing food, awesome service, clean facilities, good health rating and knowledgeable staff.

Excellent sushi, good service, good atmosphere. Similar to Benihana Japanese restaurant

Worked here a few years ago, they tried to pay me less than the legal minimum wage for tipped servers for my training period (which is $2.13, they literally tried to pay me less than $2.13 an hour). I had to threaten to contact the labor board to get a legal wage. At the time they also had the servers pool our tips and took a share from the pool. So yeah don't eat here, there are better options for sushi and hibachi from restraints that don't try to screw their employees out of every penny read more

In the beginning, I thought Atami Grill and Sushi to be a classy, genuine brand that sought to bring fresh asian fusion fare to the people of Marietta. Unfortunately, this impression has been greatly disproven over the last few months working for this establishment. As a waitress of two years at the store located on Dallas Highway, I'd like to take the time to illustrate the ways Atami's management has deteriorated to a degree that it is now not only disingenuous to its customer base, but also cuts corners when it comes to the staff they employ. To begin, I would like to address the misconduct by Atami management towards their employee base. Firstly, management at Atami began instituting a "bus tax" which means sacrificing 15% of our serving tips on our most lucrative nights (Friday, Saturday) to the busboy and management, without prior consent or notification of said change. The bussboy gets paid a higher hourly than serving positions (we get about $2 an hour more or less, bussboy gets around $8-9 to the best of my knowledge and talking with my coworkers) and is not defined as a tipped position by Atami. Tips from tipped positions may not be given to non-tipped positions without employee consent. Atami's tip distribution does not follow legal tip pooling practices of the state of Georgia and violates the Fair Labor Standards Act. As soon as I noticed the disparity, I began looking for a new position (my new employer was incredulous at these policies when I described it to him). This issue leaves me short $200 more or less on my paycheck every month, which in turn means I struggle with monthly expenses, including groceries. I am a student who can only work weekends part time with rent to pay, and this job yields ~$400 every week. This would be enough if a portion of it wasn't stolen from me weekly. I have had to supplement my lost pay with driving for DoorDash while searching for a new position which means even less time for schoolwork and personal priorities. As of today, it is my impression that Atami owes me roughly $1600+ in stolen pay. Secondly, Atami "incentivizes" employees to not make mistakes by threatening to take additional tips from servers earnings if they forget to do something or have to be reminded (picture of policy description as defined by management attached). This is yet another branch of blatant misconduct for the same illegal reasons outlined above. An employer may not take any amount of a servers tips for any reason besides as a way to make up minimum wage disparities (According to Section 203(m) of the FLSA). I have also more than once caught my managers pointing and gossiping about me and other coworkers in Chinese amongst themselves, which I find unbelievably unprofessional and doesn't make for a comfortable or pleasant work environment. In addition to the issues illustrated above, it would be in the public's interest to know that Atami does mislead its customers by stating many of their ingredients are fresh or high quality. This is not entirely true, some are and some aren't. For example, the salmon is fresh but the tuna is frozen and so is the crab (example attached). Most hot appetizers come from a package, including the spring rolls, gyoza, and the new takoyaki appetizer. I have been told on several occasions by my managers to tell customers that food is fresh when questioned (despite seeing food come out of packages and fish pulled out to defrost every evening). Additionally, customers cannot be entirely sure the food on their plate has not touched the floor, as I on many occasions have seen vegetables, meats, and other foods get dropped, even stepped on, and thrown back on the chopping block without a second thought. Sometimes food will go bad and they will STILL use it, I just recently saw a chef putting BROWN mango into a roll, which was most likely expired (image attached). Hairnets/gloves are not used regularly in the kitchen, I only really see the bussboy use them. Atami only is careful about health protocols when they expect a visit from an inspector, and they are not constantly maintained. To the management: I am highly disappointed, as I attempted several times to address the misconduct occurring and yet was brushed off and ignored. I am frustrated and angry at the treatment I received as someone trying to make an honest living by offering you my skills. Overall, thank you to the lovely customers I've served here, you made working here the highlight of my weekends, and I hope I may be able to serve you at a nearby establishment in the future. Thank you for reading. TLDR; -Atami steals pay off the top from it's servers -Atami does not follow health protocols unless they suspect the watchful eye of an inspector -Atami asserts freshness with some ingredients that are NOT fresh -Atami serves dropped/potentially expired food to it's customers -Atami management is unprofessional and disregards complaints of mistreatment read more
