Incredible rolls and great atmosphere. Such a unique experience. You start with the 5 course omakase followed by à la carte. read more

I was recently saddened to hear that Chef Jak passed away after battling cancer and that Chef Jeff has since taken over. I've had previous experience with Chef Jeff at another sushi spot and he is truly amazing. His skill and consistency definitely shines here. The food is excellent, with fresh fish, well seasoned rice, and handrolls that are thoughtfully prepared and beautifully balanced. The 5 handroll omakase is an absolute steal at $38 and leaves you more than satisfied. Service is friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The ambiance is modern and intimate, perfect for a casual night out or a low key date. Don't skip the drinks. Kitta makes really good cocktails that pair perfectly with the handrolls and elevate the overall experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend to any sushi lover. read more

I am really disappointed in my second trip to Jak. The first time I did think the prices were high for the amount of food you get, as the rolls are very small. I had done the 5 roll initially when I was there, and then this time I wanted to choose my own rolls. First, I was given a bit of a hard time because I wanted to do a la carte. I don't understand why because the menu literally says "a la carte". Then I was told, well then you HAVE to order at least four rolls. I had planned on that anyway, but it's a definite turnoff to be told I must order a certain number of rolls. Last time I had asked for a side of spicy mayo, and it was no issue. This time the chef told me they don't offer that. I insisted last time I had gotten it, and then he said, oh well that must be from downstairs and told the server to go get it. The look on her face was complete annoyance that she had to walk downstairs. Geez, I just wanted to leave at that point. Then we were the only two in the restaurant and yet I had to remind her twice to get more water. I will say I think their fish is pretty fresh, but I don't care to ever step foot in here again. read more

I saw this place on Instagram and knew I had to check it out. Reservation were easily made on resy. The parking lot is small and it doesn't get full around lunch time. You walk up the stairs and it's a cute rooftop area (covered and inside). I think they are renovating so the rooftop (open) will be a cool place to hang out. It's a small place with seating around the bar. 5 handroll is chef's choice and there's a small beverage menu. Every roll was made fresh in front of you and all the ingredients are fresh. My favorite from the omakase is the toro with truffle and caviar. I also got the uni in addition and that was so delicious! The chef and server were so friendly and attentive. I will be back! read more

I had to give this place two tries before leaving a review! The first time I came was for lunch on a Friday, it wasn't busy at all, just me and my friends. The chef was super nice and talkative, and the servers were also really attentive. Second visit was a Friday night, and it was much busier, but the service was still awesome! Pricing & Quality: 5 hand rolls for $38 is pretty decent. It wasn't a mind-blowing experience, but for the price, it's solid. The quality is basic but reasonable for what you pay. I'd definitely come back as long as they don't raise the prices! The Rolls: 1 Spicy Tuna - First visit, it was super flavorful. Second visit, it was a bit bland, but the rolls were bigger. 2 Creamy Crab - Just okay. I felt like they skimped on the crab and gave more rice instead. Mostly tasted the seaweed. 3 Salmon - Flavor was better the first time. Second visit, it was a little bland. I'm also not a fan of the crunch, so next time, I'd skip that. 4 Toro - Pretty basic. Good, but nothing too special. 5 Spicy Scallop - Personally, not my favorite, but that's just my preference. Gave mine to my friend, and she loved it! Add-Ons: Uni - A must! $15 well spent because the chef was generous with the portion! Big Mac - My absolute favorite! The Uni was surprisingly sweet and sooo good! The chef did not skimp he gave a big chunk! Hamachi - Normally, I don't care for Hamachi, but this was my second favorite! It had a nice citrusy flavor, super fresh. Wagyu - Not sure what type of Wagyu they use, but it's definitely not A5 Japanese. It was a little tough to bite into. That said, the sauce was amazing! And OMG... the MISO SOUP!!! Hands down, the best miso soup I've ever had. I even asked for a second bowl it was ! Overall, I'd definitely come back if they keep the prices the same! read more

I was in the area and craving some really good sushi. This spot came up and instantly knew I had to check it out. I visited Jak Handroll solo, just as they were opening. It's situated above Jak Omakase; you'll want to use the stairs on the left hand side to get there. When I walked in the set up was beautiful! It's a smaller restaurant but very fitting for the omakase style. As I was seated, the waitress explained how Jak Handroll works and the chef got started immediately. Each roll was better than the next and paired with the Yuzu the experience was great! Your experience comes with 5 rolls and then you have the option to add additional rolls a la carte once the last one comes out. You'll also get a cup of miso soup. My server was attentive, the chef was friendly and we had a nice chat in between rolls. Overall 10/10 experience and I plan to return with some friends. read more

I love me a good handroll spot! This is a straightforward sushi restaurant specializing in handrolls. Atmosphere was calm and quiet, service was fantastic and food (in my opinion) was good for the price. Heads up that parking can be limited if you go on the weekends and bring a sweater because the AC was blasting. I also heard from the chef that they're trying to open two more locations in the future (Midtown and Doraville). read more

Worst omakase I have ever been to in my entire life. I have had nearly every Omakase spot in the state of Georgia and this really is the worst. They deleted all there bad reviews on Google and Yelp somehow. Go to omakase table or Norifish instead. The food is tiny and the taste is terrible. It's not authentic and your money is better spent elsewhere. The ambiance is wack with loud music that isn't calming. It seems the high reviews on here are from the owners friends. Don't be fooled!! Will never come back here and you shouldn't either. Service bad too. The roll and pho across getting you triple the value with what you pay here and is just better. read more

I will be coming back and telling EVERYONE about this place even though I want to gatekeep it. The chef is so friendly and the way he rolls is truly satisfying to watch. The flow of the meal was perfect but I did notice others having to slow down or skip while others continued. My favorite is the hamachi by far but a close second is the toro. Wagyu melts in your mouth. The fish is incredibly fresh and all the flavors are balanced and don't overpower the fish itself. Rice was slightly sweet it was wonderful. We were full from the omakase but we did order more because we wanted to try some things that were not a part of tonight's selection. 1000000% recommend. You won't find a higher quality hand roll omakase for this price point literally anywhere except maybe Japan. read more

My very first experience at an omikase handroll bar was fantastic! Jak Handroll Bar in Duluth is a small rooftop location that has a relaxing intimate feel with seating at a bar overlooking the rolls being made. The five course omikase experience is $38 which also comes with a bowl of miso soup. There was a small number of us which resulted in a very accessible experience. I added a himachi roll at the end after the five courses. The ingredients were so fresh and the rolls so delicious. The staff was attentive and answered questions we had along the way. Heads up- it is a very swift moving experience so if you are not ready for your night out to come to an end so soon, there are little dessert/bakery places close by. I highly recommend this experience and look forward to a return visit. read more

Jak Hand Roll offers a solid hand roll experience with great seafood quality. The 5-course set for $36 was enjoyable, though fairly short. We arrived at 7:50 and left by 8:20. Miso soup was a nice touch to wash everything down, and the option to order from the menu added flexibility. Decorations were beautiful and fun to look at and it was more casual than the omakase. Service was very attentive, making for a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. read more

This was my first omakase experience, and I've got to say it was so WORTH IT!!! It's only one bar, and it's intimate and cozy. I love the vibes inside. It's five handrolls, and my favorite is definitely the sexy scallop, the scallop was SO FRESH, with yuzu and masago sparkle, ugh, I know I'll be thinking about it for a while. Would definitely recommend this spot for a date night or celebration! read more

So happy to have found a handroll bar near Atlanta. Don't really see much of them down south, let alone ones that is as good as Jak Handroll Bar. Loved the ambiance; since the bar was inside, it wasn't cold at all even though it's rooftop. The service was amazing, the chef prepared each out of course meticulously. Truly a great experience, lovely date night. read more

Really lovely experience here! The chef was super friendly. Service was prompt and the hand rolls were all very tasty! The only downside was 5 rolls was definitely not filling enough so we ordered two more rolls each. I love the uni roll. It's very good and the uni was fresh. read more

LOVED our experience and the amazing food. The Chef and server were both very friendly. We are from NC but will definitely stop by again the next time we're in town!! Wow! 10/10 would highly recommend. Ps we're not their friends as stated in the previous reviews. read more

Jak Handroll is continually improving the quality of their rolls and service! The ambience of the bar is like that of those in Japan with a Miami feel. Personally, I'd get the $38 handroll omakase with at least 1 premium handroll and a bottle of sake for a satisfying experience. read more

Never had a handroll bar experience like this. It was a special treat we were not expecting. Great location and excellent service. Will have to try their omakase restaurant next. read more

Went here for the first time for mother's day, both my wife and I really enjoyed the food. The presentation was great and I am glad to have found a new regular location for sushi/seafood I can visit near me! read more

I really, really wanted to love Jak Handroll. Whenever I go back home to NYC, I have been hitting up KazuNori with some regularity and I was excited to have a similar spot here in the Atlanta area. Sadly, I think my wife and I will mainly be doing handrolls when we go back home. Why is that? Because I'm spoiled by KazuNori. While I loved the vibe of the space at Jak Handroll, it's really hard to accept the value proposition here. We did the five roll omakase and then added on three extra rolls. After tip, that brought it to over $200 and we were no where near full. The rolls are pretty small compared to KazuNori and it costs more than KazuNori. We felt that the rolls should've been a little more substantial. This feels like a trend finally making it to the south (and you can 'at me' all you want, but even a recent Urbanize ATL article commented that trends seem to take a much longer time to make it to ATL than it should) but the execution is just a bit lacking. The other thing is since the place wasn't packed, the rolls came out a little too fast and we were in and out under 30 minutes, which doesn't feel good. We see dinner as a time where we linger and talk and that just didn't feel possible here. I would recommend Jak Handroll to someone that hasn't had this kind of dining experience, because there is a fun element to it. However, if more places start opening and compete with this joint, it'll be really easy to steal Jak Handroll's audience. Just come in a few dollars cheaper, offer rolls just a little bit bigger, and let diners savor the experience, then I probably recommend that other place to here. Which, again is a shame because I do like the handroll dining experience. I feel bad for leaving the first 3 star review because I want independent businesses to succeed, but it's hard not to when another place has already set a pretty high benchmark. read more

Good food great service. The food was out quickly. It tasted great and it's a different atmosphere. Everything is a little bit different than normal with the roles. read more
