First, there's a huge free parking lot with spaces galore since the other businesses in the shopping area are closed by the time this one opens. There was no line at the door, and security was quick, polite, and professional. They also seem to accommodate large parties very well, as we came through for our friend's birthday. The DJ was amazing, too! All the southern classics. I thought the cocktail menu was unique because of how many Jameson cocktails there were, as opposed to what you normally see, but I liked it! I am not mad at a little Jameson at all. The wings and eggrolls were pretty decent, and the space was clean even though it was PACKED (it was a Saturday by the way). I enjoyed myself and would definitely recommend to others.

I thought it was cool that they have themed bathrooms, too. Food: Focaccia We received a good portion for the price ($5). Our waitress also provided oil to go with the focaccia, but I mostly dipped mine in the tomato sauce that came with the risotto balls. The focaccia tasted amazing! Risotto Balls We received three to four in total. They were a decent size and a light, tasty appetizer. Salmon Puttanesca I received a decent portion of salmon on top of the pasta and the dish itself arrived piping hot (go back and rewatch)! ‍ The seasoning used on the salmon didn't overpower the dish as a whole and the pasta had enough sauce to coat. It overall was an amazing dish. Service: We had a very attentive server! One of the managers came by and checked on us as well, which doesn't always happen at restaurants.

This is a Small seafood spot that has apparently been known to have food food. I went and I only…read moredrank so I can't speak on that. So let's cover the ambience and service. Again,it's small venue: you really shouldn't come here with a slew of people if you can help it. They have some outdoor seating as well, but not a lot, so you don't want to count on that, but it's kind of intimate. The bar fits maybe six to eight seats at most, and the general seating probably no more than 20 people. It's in a shopping center area, so it's free parking when you go, and there's a number of other things there. You could easily start with this spot and then go to a show and then end up in a cigar lounge, so at least that's a little bit of flexibility. I had the House malbac which was pretty good. I'm looking around, though, and I noticed that the food looks amazing. It made me feel bad for not eating, LOL. Everybody says that it is good, but I just can't speak on it. It looks amazing, so I wanted to make sure I say that. I sat at the bar, and the bartenders kind of were in and out. There were maybe four people at the bar aside from myself. The bartenders kept disappearing, so I wasn't sure about the whole service component with this place. Once you get their attention, you're good, but it just seemed like there were a lot of disappearing acts. I gotta give them grace because it looked like the bartender was dropping off food as well, so I can't wholly take off for that because it looks like they had him doing double duty. If you're into seafood and you want some crab cakes or some salmon, you should probably at least take a look at the menu. It's a good stop-off point, so I would definitely suggest giving it a shot if you're in the area.

But of course we couldn't sit upstairs?! What's the point of a rooftop if you can't even use it 90% off the time. Then we chose our table as it was empty downstairs other than the waiters/waitresses significant others. Waiting 10 min to get water we already knew this was going to be a disaster. Little did I know the service would be worse than a disaster. We ordered drinks and food all at once with the knowledge that Indy the waitress was bound to give us no attention. Our drinks were at the bar waiting and waiting for us to just have a sip. The bartender on her phone speaking to her friend... I decided I'll grab my own drinks since they sat there no less than 15 minutes melting away. She still did not notice. Wild. Strike 2 Now we go back to our table to receive half our food that came out with the appetizers- not typically how it should be but I will give them a break since there was 3 other people at tables LOL. As the rest of our food came she did not check on us but instead would bring water and food to what I assume was her boyfriend since she was all over him at the bar. Not one person filled our waters. Every person working there was on their phone. On top of that the hostess asked the bartender "would you like to take this table (our table)" she loudly said NO. The manager we overheard I want to say his name is Malcolm was complaining about how he doesn't get paid enough and doesn't want to be there. Last but not least- my side salad was $10... it was the size of my fist. I am beyond disappointed in the service. Food was ok.

There's plenty of places nearby for a pre or post dinner drink or both (S/O Halfway Crooks and Redacted). My husband and I came at the beginning of August, and the prix fixe menu was Burmese cuisine. We both got the prix fixe menu + the drink pairing. I'm no expert on Burmese cuisine, but the menu was immaculate. It was one of those meals where both of us ranked our favorite courses, and the rankings were completely opposite of each other. That's when you know every dish was amazing!! Even the dessert which had a salty basil component to it was just spectacular. The only thing we didn't love was the last cocktail on the drink menu, which was supposed to be a White Russian with crab Rangoon flavors. It wasn't terrible but not great either. Service was a tiny bit slow, but we didn't mind because we were looking for a longer dining experience. Can't wait to come back and try other menus in the future!!

The inside of the restaurant was a nice, quiet vibe with a music selection that fit, perfectly. The server was very friendly and she made some very dope suggestions that would prove epic. I got the Airline Chicken which was a new selection to the menu. Now, as a suggestion, if you are hungry, I would advise that you get an appetizer. I saw people getting, and seemingly, enjoying the oysters. I say that because, as the menu states, items are made cool to order so getting your entree could take some time. However, don't fret! The time that they are taking to prepare your food will be well worth it. The chicken was great. But, the Rustic Mashed Potatoes were the best I've ever had. (Sorry Grandma). I'm looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu items because this was so good. Also, they'll see me there for brunch because I can only imagine how good their menu is.

Back in April 2020, when COVID-19 restrictions had just taken hold in America, my wife walked from…read moreour home in Atlantic Station to nearby Wagaya Japanese restaurant to pick up takeout for dinner. Due to the pandemic, indoor dining at restaurants was closed. On her way home, she noticed that sister restaurant Chirori next door (https://www.yelp.com/biz/chirori-yakitori-and-kushikatsu-atlanta) had converted into a Japanese grocery store: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wagaya-japanese-groceries-atlanta-2?select=OJdGMHY4IZsMeQWEhGzmsw&userid=j14WgRoU_-2ZE1aw1dXrJg. She stopped in, ran into owner/acquaintance Takashi Otsuka, and purchased some items. Well into its fourth year in business, Wagaya Grocery Store is still kicking. I believe this store was a direct result of the pandemic. I thought its existence might be temporary; for example, it would only be around until restrictions were lifted and dine-in was back in full force. Well, it looks like this store is here to stay. A while back, it moved into a hidden space downstairs, on the same level as Trio Custom Clothiers: https://www.yelp.com/biz/trio-custom-clothiers-atlanta-5. As a regular customer at all of these businesses for many years now, I remember when this space used to be storage for Trio and/or other businesses at this property (if I recall correctly) as well as, at one point, a dance studio - the Burke Connolly Academy of Irish Dance. I highly recommend Trio for custom suits and tuxes, by the way. This is a great, fun little store for Japanese and other Asian food and drink. It's convenient for those living/working in Atlantic Station, Home Park, and Georgia Tech, as well as the wider Midtown and Westside neighborhoods. These parts of Atlanta are Japanese/Asian grocery deserts. Wagaya Grocery Store can save you a trip to Tomato Japanese Grocery Store in Marietta or Norcross, or H Mart or Buford Highway Farmers Market in Doraville. This is nowhere near the size of those stores and the prices are understandably a bit higher, but this place still has plenty to offer and it works in a pinch. For example, I've come here for their house brand kimchi as opposed to driving to Costco or H Mart. It's good. It was $5.49 per pound last time I bought it, with a small container typically costing less than $5. They have different kinds too. My wife and I have purchased an assortment of items here including Alfort Mini Chocolates, Imuraya Frozen Wafer Sandwiches in different flavors (e.g., matcha, strawberry), Kracie Popin' Cookin' Tanoshii Sushi DIY candy for kids (we got those for my nieces), bags of Kit Kat wafers in unique flavors (e.g., milk tea, melon; $13.99 each), and soy milk daifukumochi ($2.49 each). I've also gotten various drinks here, from Pocari Sweat sports drinks ($3.99 per bottle) and Kimono brand sparkling Yuzu ($4.49 per bottle) to Calpico in different flavors (e.g., melon; $3.99 per bottle) and Korean Binggrae Banana-flavored boxed milk drinks ($1.99 each). Overall, there's a very nice variety of Japanese snacks, candy, drinks, condiments, frozen treats, etc. I will say this is not the best place to buy some products, like drinks and ramen, in bulk since most of what they sell is in singles and not in packs/boxes. It's less economic. However, this place is perfect for things like condiments (e.g., Kewpie mayo, Korean BBQ sauce, ponzu sauce) and special produce (e.g., certain types of mushrooms and greens, fresh local yuzu $3.99 each). In addition to produce, they have everything you need to make basic sushi including fresh raw fish, roe (masago and ikura), and pickled ginger and wasabi; ingredients for nabemono, like shabu-shabu and sukiyaki (Japanese hot pot), including thin-sliced beef brisket ($18.50 per pound), ribeye ($22.50 per pound), and pork belly ($17.50 per pound); and even different types of broth -- ramen shoyu, udon/soba, spicy curry. Also, they have a fridge with a decent selection of sake and wine which, for some reason, must be ordered using a phone by scanning a QR code on the fridge door. The beer you can buy same as everything else. The store has a cute, amusing atmosphere to it, befitting of Japanese culture. Everything from the colorful canned drinks with anime characters on them to details like little foldable instructions on "How to Cook Okonomiyaki" just really add charm to the place. Service is excellent from manager Chi to employee Tim. They're really friendly. I was curious about the demand in this area for this type of store and they told me they really had to fine-tune the inventory levels so they didn't have a lot of product expiring on them. I believe it. Like some things I've had to do at my job, it sounds like more of an art than a science. Chi told me she goes to Georgia Tech regularly to sell groceries from Wagaya Grocery Store too, on certain days near the Student Center. The neighborhood is lucky to have this place.
