Fukulala is probably one of the better sushi restaurants in the area. A little hard to find if you…read moredon't know where you are going. I have never been here when there were more than just a couple of tables seated in the restaurant. Not sure if it's because of the location or what, but I love everything about this place. First of all it's beautiful inside. Warm dark tones and modern. This place can be classy at night I'm sure. The staff are very friendly. We come here for the sushi although there are other offerings. The sushi is skillfully made and the items are unique. You know the sushi restaurants that have the "standard" rolls you can find anywhere? This isn't it. We got two rolls but honestly I don't remember what they had in them. But they were pretty and very fresh! We also got the Bang Bang Shrimp which was excellent! The sauce is on the side so you actually get to taste the shrimp and the sauce had a nice Kick. Perfectly fried, well seasoned and fresh. We loved this!! If you can find this place, definitely give it a try! GET HERE for the Bang Bang Shrimp!

You probably know places like these are generally good finds. :-) No exception here. It's kind of wild what they can do in their tiny kitchen. Aside from sushi, you can get stuff like hibachi, noodles, etc. I went with several rolls and vegetable tempura. Everything was good though not notably exceptional. However, the real gem here is the price point ... which hit as *reasonable* by today's inflation standards. Interior dining space only ... and that isn't much to speak of, but it's functional and holds the stream of customers they get. It seems like they do a lot of carryout orders. Anyway, it's a spot worth checking out if you haven't been.

The hostess was so kind in her communications over the phone and in person, and we were able to get a spot at the sushi bar (which was ideal for us sushi lovers anyway). We both ordered cocktails that we enjoyed thoroughly (the laughing horse and 160 rabbit). I was a little bit disappointed that they were seemingly unable to switch out any of the ingredients or liquors in the cocktails, especially since I don't like whiskey but some of the yummy cocktails had that as the listed liquor. Regardless, the cocktails we got were delicious. We got the sesame asparagus fries with white truffle aioli, the yellowtail jalapeño carpaccio, and the smoked toro. They were all literally out of this world and delivered with a smile. We then ordered the picante roll and she-sho fresh roll. They were both amazing including the sauces that came with each roll. All the fish we had was fresh. Our waitress was SPECTACTULAR. She was helpful, kind, funny, everything we could've asked for. We will be returning to Monkey 68 probably way too soon and often. Thank you truly for such a wonderful date night with amazing service where we felt so special.

We had a late lunch/early dinner at Zest Sushi & Small Plates in downtown Roswell yesterday. We…read moreenjoyed it. I give this restaurant three to four stars. Our friend, who joined us and has lived in Roswell for decades, recommended it. I booked our reservation using Resy. Zest qualifies for the American Express Resy Credit, if you have a qualifying card. This is a casual joint. It's spacious, with a bar, dining room, and outdoor brick sidewalk patio. At 3:30pm on a Saturday, the bar was mostly full, and by the time we left around 5:00pm, the dining room had already gotten decently busy. This place fits in nicely with walkable downtown Roswell. $5 paid parking is available in a surface lot directly across the street from the restaurant. Here's what four of us had: Cocktails * Pretty in Purple ($15) - Empress 1908 Gin, triple sec, cranberry juice, yuzu juice, simple syrup, dehydrated lemon Mocktails * Strawberry Basil Fizz ($7) - fresh lemon juice, strawberry puree, fresh basil, club soda, lemon wedge Sushi - Specialty Rolls * Allyson Roll ($16) - shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, topped with eel, spicy mayo, soy glaze, tempura flakes, masago * Super Crunch Roll ($14) - masago, tempura flakes, spicy mayo, topped with steamed shrimp, soy glaze Oysters * Raw Gulf Oysters (6 for $11) - cocktail sauce, fresh horseradish, mignonette sauce Small Plates Graze * Edamame ($6) with garlic (+$1.50) - steamed soybeans, sea salt * Parmesan Truffle Fries ($7) - wasabi mayo, ketchup Surf * Salmon Poke Crunch ($15) - diced salmon, avocado, yuzu tobiko, spicy mayo, green onions, wonton crisps Turf * Thai Lettuce Wraps ($14) - chopped chicken, water chestnuts, red bell peppers, red onions, sesame seeds, carrot nest, Thai plum sauce * C.A.B. Steak Skewers ($16) - beef tenderloin, grilled red peppers, onions, zest sauce, sesame seeds In general, the food was fresh and tasty. There was not a single bad item. The menu has a good variety of options and my wife and I appreciated the lighter and healthier dishes. I thought the oysters were a decent value. I wouldn't say this is a "proper" sushi or tapas restaurant, but the food is good for what it is, which I'd describe as Americanized casual. Megumi was our server and she took great care of us. The floor was sticky. Zest opened in 2011, so it's stood the test of time. A second location opened in Cary, North Carolina in 2024.

So I just happened to be walking around in the area looking for food and I decided to stop in. I've…read moreactually never been here as many times as I've been to this specific district. I was not disappointed at all. Getting here you have to worry about parking because it's not free parking. There are spots and places around but generally speaking you have to either do street, lot, or parking garage parking. The parking garage is a little bit further away so I would not suggest that but there is plenty of parking lot parking. I'm just saying this because you're going to have to walk no matter what happens. There's a lot basically across the street and a lot basically on the block next to it but they are around $5 to $10. I didn't have a reservation but I still went in and got seated immediately. We got a seat in the back of the restaurant where they make and prepare the sushi so that was a good view. It's very nice and very clean there and the service was great. Mario was a server and took really good care of the table. He was definitely a boon and I would have no problem with him waiting on the same table that I was at again! Super cool guy. Diablo roll - So the roll was very good and very tasty. It was a nice sized roll and it had a really good flavor to it. Would I get it again? I would. Ramen - The ramen was good. It had very good presentation and everything like that, the only thing I needed was to add a little razzle dazzle to it. So the ramen itself was savory but it didn't have a punch like I would like. So I just asked them for some chili oil and that took it right where it needed to be. If you don't like spiced then that's not applicable to you LOL. But I like savory and heat and this fixed everything and made it right with the world! I thought this was a really good place and I would love to go again. Actually. They have a couple of other rolls that I would like to try.

Don't judge this place by its exterior. The inside is absolutely beautiful--homey, welcoming, and…read moresurprisingly refined. There are so many thoughtful little details in the décor that make it feel special. Every server and staff member was genuinely kind and impressively hospitable, offering a level of service that honestly surpasses some higher-end restaurants I've been to. Now, the food. Their ginger salad might be the best I've ever had. They use romaine and green leaf lettuce instead of the typical iceberg, which gives it far more flavor and texture. The dressing was smooth and creamy--not broken, watery, or overly acidic like so many ginger dressings tend to be. The miso soup also had more depth of flavor than most versions I've tried. A bonus surprise: they have more lunch options than what's listed online, and the in-person prices are actually cheaper. So don't rely on the website--come in and look for yourself. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and sushi roll combo. They offer a generous selection of rolls to choose from, and I went with the Alaskan roll. The filling was plentiful and well-balanced. The rice on the outside was slightly thin in a few bites where the seaweed peeked through, but the overall flavor was excellent. The chicken teriyaki was outstanding--juicy, tender, perfectly seared, and full of rich teriyaki flavor. I also appreciated the unexpected cold bean sprout salad on the side, which added a nice contrast to the meal. Overall, this was a wonderful lunch at a very fair price--only $15. I'd happily return and highly recommend stopping in rather than making assumptions based on appearances or online listings.
