Really enjoyed my experience at NoriFish. The omakase felt very thoughtful and well balanced, with fresh fish and unique flavor combinations that still let the quality of the seafood stand out. The atmosphere felt intimate and elevated, making it a great spot for date nights or special occasions. read more

Yes it was fantastic! I'd definitely go back. The staff was awesome and extremely helpful. The food!!! We had the omakase the bougie one and let's just say it did not disappoint either one of us. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures I'll do better next time. Please tell Calvin I said hello! read more

Just moved to Atlanta from California and haven't been impressed with the sushi options here, until now!! The fish was fresh, prepared perfectly, and the omakase was unique to the restaurant. Drinks were delicious and service was excellent. I loved how small and intimate the restaurant was. Will be back soon! read more

It doesn't get much better in Atlanta than Norifish. Every single time we go, it feels just as special as the first. The omakase is consistently exceptional, each course is beautifully prepared, thoughtfully paced, and somehow manages to surprise us every visit. It's one of those rare places that never disappoints and keeps us coming back. read more

BIRTHDAY SUSHI | whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just wanting to treat yourself, Norifish is the perfect spot without COMPLETELY breaking the bank. Choose the omakase standard or upgrade to the omakase premium to treat yourself! Located inside the same building as Bishop Apartments, Norifish is the perfect addition to the Dunwoody/Sandy Springs area. Parking was easy in the covered parking deck that is shared with the apartments. It's dark and intimate inside, perfect for small groups. I chose Norifish for my small family birthday dinner and my parents loved it, too. After starting with hot tea ($4 for 4 people), we ordered a few share plates and the omakase petite for $60 per person (unfortunately no longer an option, but it was seriously SUCH a steal). It's missing almost half the items offered in Standard and Premium menus, but since we already selected two orders of Yuzu Ponzu Oysters, Ceviche and the Chu Toro Quail Egg Toast to start, we figured we didn't need that much more, which ended up being accurate. The Yuzu Ponzu Oysters are a MUST and if you love ceviche, be sure to add a share plate portion. The Chu Toro Quail Egg toast is rich and luscious - since it's a little heavy, I would recommend it eating it first as a share plate versus in the omakase. The flavors are so unique and fun compared to the traditional omakases I've tried. My favorite bites were the [salmon] belly rice and the sake aburi. Every bite and dish are beautifully plated and taste as good as they good. Overall, a great dining experience! I will definitely be back next time to try the Omakase Premium, and also hope to stop into the Norifish Sushi & Izakaya Buckhead location again soon!! read more

NoriFish is a great spot to get your omakase fix at a decent price (standard for $115 and premium for $170). The waitresses were very attentive, making sure that we had enough water and explained each piece of the omakase menu as they served it to us. We sat at the bar so we could watch the chefs create each piece which is always entertaining. They did not lay each piece in front of us, rather they had the waitresses serve it to us in 5 courses. The first seasonal sashimi was a great start. For the first set of 3 piece nigiri, the fish tasted great but a bit on the saucier side compared to what I'm used to. The yuzu flavor really packed a punch in the madai. The second set of nigiri was my favorite, with the chutoro standing out. The third set was also good, with the sake as the stand out. I loved the last set for its creativity, with the soup warming my soul. Overall, this is a great spot if you like flavorful nigiri. The service was amazing and parking is indeed extended for free at the restaurant. read more

Came for a special occasion celebration for the first time to the spot and it did not disappoint. They are a good spot for all things sushi and fish. They are actually especially known for their omakase pairings. We tried the omakase and were deliciously surprised by the quality of the food and the variety of the food. The service is excellent and the staff is very attentive. They have their own parking lot and it's very well connected to public transit too. Definitely stop by here for special occasions or just for the love of omakase. We tried the regular omakase and it came with different dishes and each of them were perfectly done. The lichi martini is also very well balanced and stiff. read more

Food first, thoughts later... This was mine and my husband's first omakase experience. It was truly phenomenal. The staff were very knowledgable and friendly. The ingredients were all so fresh and I love the flavors and textures. Each piece was decorated towards perfection and I appreciated that very much. We got the premium omakase. read more

Came here for the omakase to celebrate my belated birthday and balled out. No notes. Just pure perfection. Everything from the presentation, the fish, the service--just awesome. The place wasn't pretentious; it actually felt like a standard sushi place at first. But no, the quality of the fish and the wagyu was sooooo high grade. I don't know much about grades of fish and wagyu, but you know when you eat something and there's just a subtle fresh flavor. just had amazing quality fish. BF and I sat at the bar and watched everyone work their magic. My favorite was the otoro (fatty tuna). read more

Having gone to multiple omakase places both in and outside of Atlanta, my husband and I wanted to just spend whatever we would have spent on omakase but just ordering whatever we wanted. We went with 2 other friends where we split the small plates and just ordered whatever nigiri pieces we wanted. The quality of the fish was amazing and each of the pieces were flavored in a way that made you appreciate it. Great place to go if you want to splurge and have a very nice meal. Small plates: all of them were excellent - Chu Toro and Quail Egg Toast: medium fatty tuna, nikiri, sunny side up quail egg, truffle aioli, pecorino romano. - Yuzu Ponzu Oysters: half dozen oysters, yuzu honey ponzu, blood orange, serrano relish - Crab OshiZushi: crab, sushi rice, avocado cream, lemon aioli, niki, rice pearls, roasted garlic salt, chive Sushi: the price comes with 2 nigiri pieces - Madai: sea brea, sudachi, yuzu sal, ginger - Kinmedai: golden eye snapper, yuzu, pink salt, shallot oil - Kanpachi: young yellowtail, yuzu wasabi dressing, nikiri, nori dust, chive - Chu Toro: nikiri, truffle aiol, garlic salt, crispy shallot - Otoro: blue fin tuna belly, nikiri, truffle salt, caviar - Hotate: seared scallop, lime, nori aioli, orange zest, pink salt - Uni: sea urchin, nikiri, toasted nori, chive To give an idea, the price of at least 22 pieces of nigiri (lost count lol) + splitting the small plates + 1 cocktail tax/tip was $352 for 2 people read more

Came back 2 years later and the food is just as amazing if not better. We did the KATAYABURI OMAKASE this time and it was the perfect amount of food. Everything was super fresh and tasted delicious. My husband is not a fan of the uni so the chef switched it to a tuna, which he loved. Chef Calvin was super friendly and very personable. Our server was warm and sweet. We had a 5:45PM reservation and sat at the bar. When we walked in, there were a few tables. Atmosphere was inviting and intimate. By the time we left, the place was full, but it didn't feel crowded. We loved our experience and will be visiting again. Hopefully they open a location in Alpharetta soon! read more

Y'all. Y'ALL. I knew this was gonna be good when our Uber driver had no idea where his GPS was taking us, but I wasn't ready for just how good. I was in Atlanta for a few days. Eight of us decided at 7pm one night to try to grab a sushi reso - the restaurant was super gracious and accommodating and got us a table at 8pm! We were a group of big sushi addicts and decided to jump in on the omakase. This was nerve-wracking for me because I'm a control freak and I have food allergies but I let Sushi Jesus take the wheel. Tuna and yellowfish are my favorites so the menu was absolute fire for me. Every course was better than the last until we hit this insane tuna trio that literally rendered every single person mute, it was so good. I was sitting among friends from Seattle and Manhattan who are known and proud food snobs who reject most anything we've fed them in the southeast, but all of them rated NoriFish a top 3 sushi experience for them. I have only had omakase one other time and it was at the Vegas Nobu during the Super Bowl, so I figured it was something I'd never have at that echelon again but damned if lil NoriFish wasn't better tasting across the board! The only miss for me was the very very very pungent consommé course, but fortunately my buddy loved it so much that he traded me his matcha "sundae" and a future round draft pick for my consommé - win. We also found our favorite rice beer on tap, so was a great experience in every category (except I think I lost my favorite leopard gloves there and that's very sad). read more

The food, the service, and the vibes were unmatched! Cozy and charming. The food was incredible. We started off with two delicious drinks, the old fashioned and the peche. We had the yellowtail carpaccio which was delicious. We then had a nigiri board with 5 different types of nigiris. And to the end the night we had a matcha sundae which was soo good. Can't wait to be back and recommend it to others read more

Norifish stays on top of my list of best Japanese spots! This was my 3rd time coming back for my best friend's birthday in January (and we came back again in April for mine) and it still remains incredible in taste, quality, and service. Food: - Fresh, no fishy smell (of course), and perfectly complementary flavors. - Each course progressively gets better than the last once, which they masterfully curated so make sure you listen to the wait staff's recommendations of where to start (usually from left to right). - Norifish has my favorite kind of real wasabi (not green horseradish) -- kizami (or pickled). It comes complimentary unlike other places that only give you fresh wasabi for an additional fee, and it's so addicting! - You will be full by the end of the dining experience! Drinks: - Always gotta order a lychee martini at Norifish! Light and delicious but still packs a punch. Service: - The staff are friendly and accommodating! Ambiance: - Not an overly stuffy place so you can kick back and enjoy yourself (but of course, remain courteous to others around you!) - If you're wanting omakase without brushing elbows with your neighbor, this is the place for you! Most omakase places can be very intimate so if you have social anxiety, it can be a bit daunting. At Norifish, you don't have to worry about that. You can have omakase either at the bar or your own table for privacy. read more

Heard great things about this place! Great omakase at its price point and you are actually full after. Seems like there are a lot of citrus elements so just fyi if you are or aren't into that. All fish was so tender and fresh. We got the standard omakase at $110/pp. Last course has some rice so we were quite full after that. Dessert not bad, but would have liked red bean to go with the matcha ice cream rather than chocolate for a more classic pairing. Couldn't take too many pictures bc I was too busy eating! Service is great and looking forward to taking friends here someday. read more

We didn't have a reservation and decided to take a chance walking in. They were able to squeeze us in luckily for a quick omakase. Norifish is very trendy and fun place to take out of town guests or impress your date! I was looking forward to more of a "traditional" omakase where the chef prepares each piece at a time but NoriFish serves a few pieces at a time; it makes sense given how intricate each of their pieces are. The fish is very fresh and the flavors are delicious. I do wish they included a few pieces that didn't have all the extra flavors so that the quality of the fish could really shine through instead of getting drowned out by all the toppings and flavors. Overall, this was a great omakase experience but definitely a less "traditional" omakase with more toppings on each piece. read more

Norifish is an omakase roll model! Last week I made by way to Sandy Springs and got treated to the decadent premium omakase experience from Norifish! It is exquisite. They offer this premium experience, as well as a regular omakase, a la carte dishes, and a full bar! It's SOY good! Take my favorite plate of the night, Chutoro uzura toast! It is beautifully charred toro with a decadent quality egg, creamy sauce, creamy sharp pecorino Romano and an earthy truffle oil. Or don't miss their A5 Wagyu sushi is so tender it melts in your mouth, earthy truffle pate, savory cured egg, topped with roasted garlic salt and a hint of ginger. My favorite sips included the First greetings, a cool cucumber and Ketel one vodka cocktail with a hint of mint and sweet yuzu. Or the Norifish old fashioned, a boozy Japanese whiskey with some delicious sweetness on the back for balance! My favorite bites of the rest of the experience includes the Chu-toro sushi. It is seared tuna with tangy nikiri, garlicky salt and crunchy shallots. While the OToro sushi is hearty and tender tuna belly with earthy truffle and topped with caviar gives it a pop of salt. One of my favorites was the Sake. Amazing! Seared salmon with Crunchy garlic tons of flavors from umami aioli to chili ponzu! But my favorite of the sushi is the Harami. Epic seared salmon belly, hints of garlic and crunchiness on top. Of the appetizers, the Salmon belly was my favorite behind the toast. It is very tasty dish stuffed with bold flavors, quail egg, salmon belly that's tender and delicious and topped with a citrus vinaigrette! The service is impeccable, and the ambiance is cozy and clean. I don't know why they are not Michelin recommended. read more

First time trying omakase and Norifish was a great option to start with!! The restaurant is super snazzy and imo is a great place for a date night. The service was pretty good too and I think it was a decent price for how much food we got! We started with drinks and I really liked the lychee martini! The pacing of the courses was pretty good too, and I liked that they eased into the sushi with a lighter start and fattier cuts at the end. All of the sushi was so fresh and I dream of the tuna trio! The main three entree dishes were just alright, but I think if I had a whole meal of just sushi, I would have been super pleased. The courses ended with matcha ice cream that was soooo good, maybe even the best matcha ice cream I've ever had! I'd like to try some other omakase restaurants around Atlanta, but I think Norifish was a strong start! read more

Had another incredible dinner here. Brought a friend who was also very impressed! I sat at a regular table this time, and I think sitting at the counter and watching the preparation is better, but I also had a lot to catch up on with my friend so the privacy was more appropriate. The drinks were delicious, the service was lovely. Will definitely be back! read more

We had a great experience at NoriFish. Everyone in our party of four got the "Omakase Premium" and we all loved it. Really good stuff. Excellent sushi. Service was on point as well. I recommend this place. During our visit, the restaurant offered three levels of omakase (Japanese version of a prix fixe meal consisting mostly of sushi). The levels were Omakase Petite with three courses for $60, Omakase Standard with four courses for $95, and Omakase Premium with five courses for $150. Japanese food is my favorite type of cuisine and omakase is one of my favorite types of meals, and I think NoriFish does it well. Below is what our omakase came with. English translations and additional detail added by me. 1st Course - Sushi * Choice of Uni Caviar Rice or Otoro Caviar Rice (our table got both) 2nd Course - Sushi * Madai (Kagoshima, Japan) - red seabream, sudachi (Japanese green citrus), yuzu salt, ginger, lime zest * Hirame (Jejudo, South Korea) - olive flounder (flatfish), yuzu kosho (Japanese citrus-chili condiment) vinaigrette, Himalayan pink salt, chive * Buri (Mie, Japan) - adult yellowtail (Japanese amberjack), yuzu ponzu, orange, serrano * Kanpachi (Kagoshima, Japan) - young yellowtail (great amberjack), yuzu wasabi dressing, nikiri (brush-on sweet soy sauce), nori dust (dried seaweed dust), chive * Hon Maguro (Mexico) - bluefin tuna, nikiri, honey wasabi aioli, lemon zest, chive * Shima-aji (Ehime, Japan) - striped jack, nikiri, Pecorino Romano, lime zest 3rd Course - Sushi * Special - Yuki Masu - Japanese snow trout * Otoro (Mexico) - fattiest bluefin tuna belly, nikiri, truffle salt, caviar, lime zest * Sake Aburi (Scotland) - salmon, flame-seared, "umami aioli," chili ponzu, lime zest, garlic chip * Hotate Aburi (Hokkaido, Japan) - sea scallop, flame-seared, sudachi, nori aioli, orange zest, yuzu salt * Chu Toro Aburi (Mexico) - medium fatty bluefin tuna belly, flame-seared, nikiri, tomato, lemon aioli, roasted garlic salt, lime * A5 Wagyu - highest yield and meat grade of Japanese beef 4th Course - Specialties * Hotate Uni - sea scallop and sea urchin (Hokkaido) combined * Lobster Rice - lobster, nikiri, chive, nori dust, rice pearls * Ceviche (substitute for my lobster allergy) - assorted fish, avocado cream, aji amarillo citrus, orange, tomato, yuzu salt, cilantro * Chu Toro Quail Egg Toast - medium fatty bluefin tuna, nikiri, sunny-side-up quali egg, truffle aioli, Pecorino Romano 5th Course - Dessert * Matcha Sundae Signature Cocktails * Lychee Garden ($15) - Ketel One vodka, fresh lychee press, Aperol, citrus * Fool Me Twice cocktail ($15) - Roku Japanese gin, Chinola passionfruit, citrus My omakase experiences have varied from sitting at a sushi bar and eating whatever the chef puts in front of me (no menu) to sitting in a dining room and eating from a set menu. The latter is how it was at NoriFish. It doesn't matter to me as long as the food and service are good. A detail I liked about NoriFish is for the 2nd and 3rd courses, which were the nigiri courses, the pieces of nigiri were laid out in the order they were printed on the menu. Everything was outstanding. As my wife said, "There wasn't a single bad bite." The ingredients were fresh and terrific quality. The execution was top-notch. All of the flavor combinations worked. In general, the dishes and pieces of sushi were packed with umami. Several items had delectable, melt-in-your-mouth textures, especially the otoro, chu toro, and uni; almost all the fish, really. We also loved how tasty the cocktails were and the generous portion sizes (glass + bottle for each drink). NoriFish opened in Sandy Springs in May 2022. Off the top of my head, I think this is the best sushi restaurant in Sandy Springs. It's from some of the same folks behind Okiboru Tsukemen & Ramen, Scoville Hot Chicken, and Tum Pok Pok -- Justin Lim, Sean Park, and Jakkrit "Jack" Tuanphakdee. The original Okiboru and Scoville locations are also in Sandy Springs. The restaurant is located on the ground level of The Bishop apartment building. You can park for free in The Bishop deck. The entrance to the deck is on Springwood Connector, adjacent to NoriFish's low-key storefront. This place is popular. When we visited on a Friday night, at its peak, both the sushi bar and dining room appeared full. That said, I was able to book our dinner reservations only two days out (via Resy), so not that far in advance. Inside, the atmosphere is casual/sophisticated casual. This isn't one of those pretentious sushi restaurants that tries to be swanky and upscale. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just a different vibe. The dining room and bar here aren't terribly big either. No outdoor seating/patio. Service was fantastic. Adrian and Jenny were our hosts/servers/food runners while Sean (co-owner) and Calvin were the sushi chefs. Everyone was great. Adrian and Jenny were very friendly and hospitable. They were able to answer every question we had. Thanks, guys! read more

My partner and I had an amazing time at NoriFish. The ambiance was spectacular and staff were so friendly! We ordered the Omakase 18 Item ($165), as well as the Lychee Garden Cocktail. Each plate was presented elegantly, and every single item we tasted was fresh and absolutely delicious. My favorites were the Sake, Harami, O-Toro, and A5 Wagyu nigiris, and the Amaebi Ceviche Tostada. We also received complimentary soup that was made from Madai fish, and it was hands down the best soup I've had in a while. The broth was clean, yet rich in flavor; I'm convinced it could cure any cold! I also enjoyed the Matcha Sundae, but it was surprisingly very petite. read more

Having a first date in several months really was nice. We went to NoriFish for an Omakase meal as we were craving for it. We haven't had omakase in a really long time, and we only have had it in other cities and not in Atlanta. So, looking for a place to eat we settled here with a fellow Yelper and wanted to see if this could be a place where we could come back to for their omakase. We settled on getting the Omakase Premium, which came out to be a 5 course meal that came out to be 150 at the time. We decided that since we haven't had so many dates, that we should go all out because who knows the next time we will have time? Note, that there are other sizes/choices of omakase you can get. There's the Omakase Petite (60), which is only a 3 course meal, an Omakase Standard (95) which is a 4 course meal and lastly the Premium. With the Premium, the only differences are higher quality items along with just more in food wise. So for instance between the Standard, the Premium gets you Caviar, Wagyu, Chu Toro, Hotate, and also Egg Toast. Let's just say you get a several more pieces. The food was great! The chef did check in on us as far as how the food was, but there wasn't much of a conversation as a usual omakase. The waiter brought it out to us even though we were sitting at the bar and then explained which order to eat the pieces in. I would definitely recommend Norifish as a spot to go to eat Omakase. I thought the pricing wasn't bad and we did leave the place full. The fish was fresh and also had different types of ways of presenting with the flavor matching. The very first fish that you get is very light and refreshing with lemon, and then you would get garlic in another bite, so on and so forth. I enjoyed my time here and can see myself coming back and getting the omakase or other dishes that they offer in the future. This definitely was a good experience as the first time to get omakase in Atlanta! read more

With Omakase being blowing up right now.. THIS IS A MUST TRY!!! there are all types of experiences for your budget! $60-150, on top of that the drinks are so good!! What they could improve on is that if i am going to try omakase, and pay $150, i would like the experience where they give you piece by piece, instead of a block with the sushi coming in sets of 6*, especially if we were sitting at the sushi bar. Though server was wonderful, it was disappointing that we didn't have a real authentic omakase experience. For the food, we all decided to try the premium omakase option, definitely amazing!! the quality of the sushi and the attention to detail on every single piece was so intricate and delicious. I cant say more other than go try it for yourself!!! read more

We had dinner with friends at NoriFish on New Years Eve, and it was one of the best dinner experiences I have ever had! I only recently started ordering sushi rolls with raw fish, and prior to our dinner at NoriFish, I had never had sushi like this, so I was nervous but very excited to try something new. And it definitely did not disappoint! We all ordered the Omakase Standard tasting menu. This included three courses and dessert: two courses of 5 pieces of sushi each, and one course of scallops, a lobster bowl, and ceviche. Their fish is flown in from Japan, which is amazing. Every bite was a work of art and so delicious! We all paired our meals with sake tastings, which was fun, too. Our waitress was the best! She was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The restaurant has an elegant vibe that I loved. I can't recommend NoriFish enough!! I can't wait to go back for a special occasion (because it is definitely pricey to have the full experience of the tasting menu - $95pp). read more

You HAVE to try Nori Fish. One warning though, they changed their menu so they no longer have their baby omakase offering (which was the big reason why I made a reservation there). But it was an amazing experience otherwise. I went with their 14 course omakase and it was sooo good. The fish was fresh, great rice to fish ratio, and the menu was curated so that you had sashimi, nigiri and then a tasting of their most popular apps. I ate everything so fast I only got a photo of their dessert which was a matcha ice cream Sunday. Our server John was amazing. He answered all of our questions and was really attentive without being obstructive of our experience. The ambiance was modern and cozy with bright lights by the bar and dimmer lights at tables. Parking is free with lots of spots in the deck, a short walk from the restaurant. read more

You can pick from 3 omakase experiences to fit your budget. If you have the opportunity, I would go for the premium ($150). We made reservations for the bar thinking that the chef would explain their process for each piece. Instead, we got served multiple pieces at once, and the waitress told us what each piece was. The food was still amazing. I would recommend sitting at a table vs the bar, especially if you come here with friends. It's just easier to hold conversations. Just a small detail, but I love the wooden check presenter box and the small pen. read more

Overall, food was good. All dishes had high end ingredients. Omakase for that day seemed to have a love affair with lime. Not a typical application for sushi, mileage may vary on that. Not a place to bring kids, no options for them. So hopefully they like sushi. Menu is very concise with little choice. Nice place to go out for drinks and casual conversations. It is quite expensive, however, the ingredients do appear to match. read more

This was not your typical omakase experience since there were no basic nigiris. Each fish was prepared with many sauces and topping ingredients, which made each bite unlike anything else I've had before. I enjoyed it, but don't come expecting more simple sushi rolls. I was celebrating an anniversary with my girlfriend and they prepared an extra piece of sushi for us, on the house. I loved the sushi and dessert was amazing too, just a perfect experience from start to finish. read more

Be prepared to spend quite a bit to get the full experience here at NoriFish. That's not to say it isn't worth it though. The restaurant has an upscale and modern decor with seating options at booths and at the bar itself. Definitely make a reservation if you prefer the table over the bar. The menu is mixed of shared plates, sushi, and of course the chef choice omakase which ranges from 10, 14, and 17 course options. I ended up getting the 17 course premium omakase and also some extra caviar on the side. Each course is a single piece sushi or small dish as you can see in my photos. I would say besides the dessert at the very end everything tasted of the highest quality and flavor. It's a journey for your taste buds as you work your way through all the courses. Don't expect to truly get "full" eating the omakase even after 17 courses but you definitely will be leaving satisfied. Definitely worth checking out NoriFish if you want some premium grade sushi. read more

I've been to this place twice now, and came away happy both times! First time was to try the omakase menu; and I would argue it's a great one. Not the most traditional sense, as you're getting the pieces a few at a time, but still grouped together with intention. There's also a little more razzle dazzle on the pieces as opposed to a purist nigiri selection. Just keep that in mind. But they make great use of the artistic liberty and flavor combinations because just about every piece was full of flavor! Great service, with a modern, hip vibe inside, maybe without any pretentiousness you'd expect to find at a similar looking place in Buckhead. read more

NoriFish is a new addition (little less than a month) to Sandy Springs, located right before Starbucks on Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, intersecting Hammond Dr. For parking, you can park in the Bishop apartment complex parking deck and right as you exit the deck (free parking), the restaurant is next to the string lights. There's a tiny signage right above the door. We sat at the sushi bar but honestly you don't miss out too much if you sit on the regular table seating since the food comes out in courses and the sushi bar is set too high that the only way you can see the chefs making the food is through your phone, pointing down. Also, only if you're into talking to the chefs and felt like there was a bit of awkward interaction in the beginning but it was nice getting more insight on where he started and etc. Sean Park is the main chef for NoriFish and he is co-owner of Okiboro. Another joint that I love and saw that their second location is opening in Buckhead in the old H&F location. Okiboro's other co-owner opened up Scoville Hot Chicken that's been popping up like crazy all over Atlanta, again another staple place for me. Between the 2 chefs/owners, they're taking over Atlanta. I think the next on their list should be yakiniku and include miyazaki wagyu! The chef had asked what my favorite omakase place was in ATL and honestly it wasn't until recently until Mujo and Omakase by Yun had all opened up. OG was Sushi Hayakawa but I honestly don't have one until we tried this place and I'm not trying to spend double the amount of top sushi joints in NY at a place in Atlanta like Mujo. Also, for sushi, our usuals are One Sushi (original location), Kang Nam, MF, O-Ku and Umi. Food wise, everything was excellent. NoriFish offers 3 course menus and we chose to go with the Premium since it offered all the signature sushi from the al la carte menu. Premium came with 5 courses and while all were amazing, below were my favorites from each one. 1st course - Uni caviar (I'm a uni over toro person) 2nd course - Hirame, Buri, and Hon Maguro if I remember correctly but basically loved all the citrus flavors on these! So light, fresh, and refreshing! 3rd course - It got better and better as you move to the right but I believe Uni, Hotate, and surprisingly, the Chu-toro were most memorable. 4th course - My favorite was the ceviche as it had a hint of salt that drew you in with the citrus flavor. 5th course - Mango sorbet It may have been that we had saved our appetite for this meal, but we were still a tad hungry afterward and snacked back at home. As one reviewer said, this isn't a true omakase per se but still can't deny it has amazing food and wouldn't certainly give 1 star on that just alone. While content, I do agree that service can be heightened for an omakase as it wasn't a match to the places in NY but understandable. Also, I definitely think it should add purse hangers on the sushi bar. Other than these tiny misses, we will definitely come back and trust that it would perfect their opening bumps by our next visit but was still satisfactory for 3 weeks in! read more

Was in town for the holidays. Did the premium omakase for 3 people celebrating a birthday. Staff service is impeccable. I felt like it was the perfect amount of attention. They didn't hover either. Ambience was chic modern. Please get a bar seating to watch all the action. Food: the omakase is guaranteed to fill you up. I thought I'd be unsatisfied or hungry but damn they fill you up. All the pieces were amazing. It was a first experience with omakase for 2 people and they were blown away. This place is seasoned omakase approved and newbie approved. Only drawback was it was a cashless establishment. I had tons of cash to blow and couldn't but it def wasn't a negative it was only worth noting. Can't wait to come back here! read more

Consistently amazing everytime I come here. This is a great intro to omakases! The fish is always fresh and the sushi rice is made to perfection. My only complaint is that I wish I could eat more of their food and get bigger portions because everything is so good! They use real wasabi and the presentation is always immaculate! read more
