    Philadelphia roll
    Tara G.

    We ate here on Mother's Day. Food was good but not fabulous. I will say the best things we had were the gyoza (dumplings) which were the best dumplings we have ever had, and the sweet potato tempura roll. My son got a cooked salmon teriyaki he loved. His only complaint was the broccoli was overcooked and had too much teriyaki sauce on it. The salmon on top of our rolls was very mushy. Made them unappetizing to eat. We took most of them home to our daughter but I don't think she liked them either.

    The mochis we were served.

    To be honest? The outside is not much (besides the cute decorations on the tree) it looks like you'd get mediocre food here. But the moment you walk in, everything changes. The low lighting was wonderful for my sensitive eyes. The smell was clean, but not too strong. They were open late, which was wonderful for me and my friends, for we were craving ramen at around 9:30. After we were seated, the service was quick (but that could be due to the late hours.) The first server seemed a bit quiet, but like a wonderful person. Our second server was no doubt one of the sweetest people I have ever met. We had a wonderful conversation about how the small restaurants are always wonderful. She was radiating positive but gentle vibes, so I felt my nerves slip away. By her, I was informed that the owner was usually in (most likely he wasn't there then because of the hour), which only proved that this food had and will always be cooked with love. And after my friends mentioned I was writing a review, she was eager to hear it. At the time it was just notes I took, but she was so pleased and that entire night I received so much praise. I had ordered the strawberry ramune, in which I was most shocked at how it tasted like true strawberry. But the lychee...it was on a whole other level. I had never had anything lychee flavored, but I felt as if I was soaring in the sky and diving in the deepest ocean. Then for starters we had edamame and pork gyoza. The edamame was well salted, and I had found usually edamame is either too salted, or not salted enough, but this edamame stayed in the sweet middle and tasted like it was straight from the Earth itself. The gyoza is most wonderfully cooked, and it feels as if I was floating upon the clouds, looking down on the world. The flavors were subtle, but so delicious. I got the spicy noodles, (but I have forgotten the name), The noodles are creamy, and I can only describe this feeling close akin to an enchanted forest. The pork was meaty, and the fat is easy to seperate if you are not for the fatty part. But then...the broth. In an instant I am shocked, frozen in pure awe at the flavors that danced in my tongue, and that most wonderful burn of spice, no doubt, they knew how to use spices perfectly. Overall, the ramen felt like what one would call a home, warm and comforting, as the tastes embrace you with open arms. With the atmosphere and taste combined (as well as the wonderful Japanese music that played), I felt transported to my own world, one without the stress of life and worries of future. Just great food, and a smile on your face. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. No doubt deserves praise, and it almost makes me sad how unnoticed this hidden gem is. The noodles would soak in the flavora of spice so perfectly, I found myself addicted. For a desert, we ordered strawberry and mango mochis. The wonderful server brought us multiple, because she knew what our stomachs -satisfied, but not full- craved. The Strawberry mochi was wonderful, and tastes refreshingly authentic. And it felt as if I was just a slight cloud which reflected a rainbow. And now, the mango mochi. I'm not a mango person, but this tasted like no less than a sunset, with the beauty, the feeling, the overall bliss. I leave with the most wonderful taste in my mouth, and an undeniable want for more. I must thank all of the workers who made this place so special, for this is the first time I've had proper ramen, and this was no doubt the best provider for that satisfying first bite.

    Out of Control Roll, Alaskan Roll and I'm Im So Hot Roll
    Patience W.

    Consistently some of the best takeout sushi I've had! I can't believe I just started ordering from here. Quick, fresh ingredients and the rolls are something different than the usual sushi roll. The staff are super friendly and although we haven't dined in yet, the place looks great with a nice, big bar. Definitely get the I'm So Hot roll, the jalapeño puree is a great touch!

    Kifah A.

    The sushi here was absolutely amazing! I tried the Lobster Samba, Tuna Fantasy, and Out of Control rolls and every single one was bursting with flavor. Super fresh, beautifully presented, and so satisfying. Definitely one of the best sushi spots around--I'll be coming back for sure!

    Salmon Belly Sashimi
    Kemsey M.

    I'm so glad we found this place! We moved from Smyrna to Marietta and the options for good Asian are more limited. The sushi and ramen here were on point. The salmon belly nigiri was to die for! My husband and I shared the ramen and they kindly put it in two bowls for us. It wasn't as spicy as a normal spicy ramen but still delicious with fantastic tonkotsu broth. The inside was a lot more upscale than I was expecting. They had a large sushi bar too. The service was impeccable. Very nice people with very good food! We will be back!

    Mochi ice cream
    Ronita B.

    Fukulala sushi iazakaya was busy and buzzing by local patrons (?) on a Friday evening when we were driving by and got bitten by a sudden sushi craving. I'll be honest my first impression of the izakaya wasn't great as the service started out very very VERY slow although we were right on the bar! The bar tender noticed us probably after 20 minutes, as they seemed overwhelmed and backed up with prior orderers and right off the bat we were advised not to order too many hot plates. So we didn't. Having said all that ... our lychee martinis and all the cold/ shareable seafood dishes were superlative in aesthetics and taste! Kanpachi and truffle salmon needs special mention and last but not the least, the mochi ice cream was a perfect sweet finale.

    Nigiri!
    Olivia S.

    Wow. My family and I have searched far and wide to find a quality, local sushi restaurant. Tonight, on a whim we stopped by Fukulala and have officially found our new favorite spot. We tried the Bluefin Chutoro, salmon belly, mackerel nigiri (and some others) the "haru roll" and the "i'm so hot" roll. We were blown away. The portions are amazing, the quality of the fish is incredible, nothing tasted "fishy" but instead was very fresh. The miso soup was also wonderful. The ambiance is great and feels more upscale, the hospitality and service is wonderful. The price is incredible and 1000% worth it for the quality and experience. If you are a sushi lover, this is the place for you! (For reference my family really enjoyed Monkey 68 prior to their sharp price increase.)

    Crispy Duck Wrap
    Holly G.

    Delicious food. Good service! Miso soup had great flavor. The sushi was fresh and very tasty. They had some fun rolls, it was hard to select what ones to get! I was so pleased with their chef nigiri, each piece was great in size - not like some where the bite is very tiny. This will likely become a go to spot for us!

    Blue Ocean
    Jordon H.

    First I can confirm this place also had a second location in Swanee. I had yet to try them at the initial location but I regret not getting over there now. The Blue ocean roll was probably one of if not the best sushi roll I've ever had. I came for lunch, 3 weeks after opening. We had the chicken teriyaki bento, ocean roll, miso soup and salad. Everything tasted good, the sushi was outstanding and for that reason alone I'm leaving a 5 star even if premature. I'll update as needed as we plan to be back!

    Spider roll?
    Fran R.

    Food was excellent. We had the King salmon appetizer that was melt in your mouth. Had a lychee margarita, which was delish. Had a spider roll with spicy tuna... spicy. Had the chirashi bowl... awesome. Son had the sashimi dinner... outstanding! Husband had the steak on rice, which was mouth watering! Anniversary dessert was strawberry mochi ice cream... yummy & refreshing! Will try their ramen, next time!

He checked on nearly every table around us multiple times but rarely came by ours. We ordered over $150 worth of food for just the two of us, yet received very little service. Despite that, we still left a 20% tip. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing as well. A lot of the food arrived cold. The quality and taste were nowhere near as good as what we remembered from previous visits. After giving this restaurant multiple chances, we can confidently say we will not be returning.

Just let the sushi chef know how many pieces, amount you would like to spend, and types of seafood you like and dislike.

The batter is light, fluffy, and perfectly salted. 3 Desserts ! - Yes!!! This spot is famous for their handmade desserts, like their coffee jelly parfait as well as their rich matcha creme brulee.

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.

Warm, fun, putting on a real show, searing the fish tableside and plating it beautifully, clearly wanting us to film and enjoy it. They were great. Everything around them was where it fell apart.

I've done omakase in a lot of places and I came in knowing what it can be. This didn't get there. The part that actually soured it: we were taking photos because we were thrilled to be there, doing exactly what the chefs were encouraging. A nearby guest seemed annoyed that we were enjoying ourselves, and instead of anything being said to her, a server came over and singled me out. In a bright, loud room, while the chefs were actively performing for the cameras, that felt backwards. It made the happiest, most engaged people at the counter feel like the problem. I wanted this to be a special night for my friend, and the chefs did their part. The restaurant around them just didn't protect it.
