As expected at this price point, every course was well thought out and unique and decadent We got the 8 course ($165/pp) and tbh it was a little too much food but everything was so good anyway! Zensai course was 3 bite app with scallop with caviar, korrokke & wagyu taco. The korrokke was creamy and bursting with flavor - loved it! My fav was the taco, it was both decadent and didn't feel heavy but it was delicious! I loved the spinalis course especially the winter melon puree - it was such an unexpected flavor combo and just a little tang. The ribeye course was aka meat butter haha and ofc it was good but I need to take a walk after that Sashimi was madai, hamachi and kampachi and they were so fresh and came from the toyosu fish market but the in house ponzu paired so well! The chocolates they gave at the end melted in your mouth and were a great contrast to the raspberry sorbet The wagyu slider was so good, we almost got a few orders to have for the next day but didn't think we'd be able to get up after the food coma took us out Everything was executed well & staff were friendly & knowledgeable. Vibe is upscale so you're not having a convo with your server about anything extraneous. Actually, it was pretty quiet in general in there with mood lighting so just a quiet night out Big plus though is it's attached to a parking deck with free parking for the retail shops in the area. They also have valet though We got the yuzu margarita which was very refreshing and gingery & my husband got an old fashioned and seemed to enjoy it + an echigo beer which tastes like a light, easy drinking beer Total bill was about $500 with the auto grat read more

Prefecture is now called NoriFish Sushi & Izakaya. My husband and dined here after the rebranding and my husband has claimed it to be the best sushi/Japanese food he has ever had in his entire life. I also thought it was very good but I wouldn't go as far as to say it is the best I personally have ever had. If you're the type to let the chef serve what he believes is the best, then this is the place for you. Soy sauce isn't even served in this restaurant as the chef is truly confident that his dishes are seasoned to perfection. If you want to explore new and different taste sensations, then definitely check this spot out. read more

This restaurant is actually named Norifish now. My husband and I went for dinner and really enjoyed it. We brought our small daughters, but fed them before knowing they probably wouldn't have a kids menu. We ordered a bottle of the sparkling rosè which was delicious! The ambiance is very much giving date night with the dimmed lights. It was freezing in the restaurant so bring a jacket! Our favorite menu item was the hotate aburi roll and the lobster dynamite. Lots of complex flavors and textures! Can't wait to go back. read more

When I went in mid-2024 the tasting menu consisted of: San kuchi zensai (3 bite appetizer), A5 Ribeye Cap, Sashimi Moriawase, A5 NY Striploin, Crab rice, and sorbet. (I also ordered the truffle wagyu slider, I mean come on I had to try them) The omakase menu started off great with the small bites to start the appetite going, then hit hard with the A5 Ribeye Cap (literally just melts in the mouth), gives you a little breather with the sashimi... and then hits hard again with the A5 NY Striploin (my favorite). Finally the meal ended with a nice crab rice (great texture, sweet, love carbs), and a nice sorbet to cleanse the pallet. The food was perfect for someone that wants to try an omakase menu that highlights Japanese steak. The ambiance was dark and moody, perfect for a nice date night. read more

One of the owners for the Okiboro and Nori Fish has opened this new spot that specializes in Wagyu. It's something that I thought ATL was missing although I wanted it to be little less formal or set menu. Prefecture is located across from Buckhead Okiboro that used to be H&F spot. At the time of our visit, they didn't start valet but was told that it would start the week after for parking. Drink wise, the blue bird drink is very tempting for pics but taste wise, not so great. My husband and I both did the omakase and couple off menu items but it ended up being duplicated. Omakase wise, the meat and presentation gets better and better as the course progresses! To my surprise I actually really liked the wagyu slider as that was my least favorite item at Nori Fish and was not looking forward to it. I would definitely just come back just to have couple of the sliders! Great wagyu spot but wish we can just come back to pick and choose and cook in front of us. read more

Really wanted to try the omoakase experience, but because I don't eat beef it didn't make sense. However the tapas were such a delight, I would still recommend this place highly. The ambiance and service matched the five star cuisine I experienced. Loved the lobster rice and kani avocado maki roll. The hamachi was so fresh and melted in your mouth. I can't wait to try the sister property, Nori Sushi, and will definitely return here. read more

Hands down my favorite Atlanta dining experience! One of the only Japanese omakase steakhouses in the US, the courses feature the best of beef from the different "prefectures" of Japan. Start to finish the courses are each unique in flavor and texture. The staff is truly passionate about the food they offer and the chef seems to always be pushing to make things better. The atmosphere is elegant and not too crowded. While less known than some other great Japanese restaurants in Atlanta, in my opinion, this is the one you have been waiting for. read more

Had the pleasure of going to the soft opening for Okiboru's sister restaurant, Prefecture Japanese Steakhouse. They are promoting their omakase, but the steak version. FOOD: The omakase tasting menu offers an 8 course experience for $175. Miso Pork Belly/Braised Short Ribs - They accommodated the pork belly with the braised short ribs if you are unable to eat pork. I loved how soft it was and that it had a kick from the gochujang (red pepper paste) marinade. My bf said he liked the pork belly better though so both seem to be solid choices. Zabuton Chuck Center - The portion size is very generous. Wasn't the most soft, but really enjoyed the flavors. A5 Ribeye - I absolutely love ribeye so was looking forward to this one. It was a little heavy for me after already having a fatty, buttery wagyu and then getting a cut that was even more fatty. I enjoyed the roasted garlic pairing and love the uniqueness of their wasabi relish. Sashimi Moriawase - The sashimi was all incredibly fresh and presented beautifully! It comes with a ponzu trio that includes yuzu ponzu, ponzu with garlic oil, and a last one I unfortunately do not remember. My favorite was the Hokkaido scallops! Absolutely amazing! A5 NY Strip Aburi - I loved the presentation of this dish and the taste was even better. Aburi means to flame-sear, which I believe means they torched the meat to sear it. It added a nice crust and rendered the fat well to keep the meat juicy. Lobster rice - Lobster + rice, what's not to love about these together? They season the lobster and place it on top of sushi rice. Love the rice pearls as they add a nice crunch. Truffle Wagyu Slider - I was super stuffed at this point, but still really enjoyed the slider. I only wished that it had some kind of spice to it, such as jalapeño or gochujang sauce, since everything was very fatty and oily. Raspberry sorbet - I appreciate the fact that they make the sorbet in house. It was a nice refreshing finish to the meal. SERVICE: Andrew was amazing! Super attentive, fun, and not too overbearing but always making sure we had water, had enough salad, etc. VIBE: The inside is pretty dark and intimate, so seems like it would be really nice for a date night dinner or girls night out! OVERALL: It was a 5-star experience, but I docked a star because I enjoyed the seafood entrees a lot more unfortunately. The meat quality and taste are all good and these plates are crafted like art, but it was all too fatty for me. I think there needs to be a side of spicy ramen or some kind of spice/citrus taste in the middle to break up the fattiness. Definitely a personal preference though. I would highly recommend the omakase for a special occasion, but they also have the omakase a la carte which is a great option if you don't want to break the bank. read more

Went to Prefecture for an anniversary dinner. $185 later, the two of us had each had roughly ten small bites of food (no drinks, no dessert). So this is not a place to come for a meal... it's a place for people who have never been to Japan to feel like they've had an "authentic" Japanese meal (with none of the experience that goes along with it). They'd be wrong. First things first: the food is fine, and prepared well enough, though one piece of A5 wagyu had a tough and fatty edge that was quite unpleasant to chew and swallow. At these prices, one has a right to expect better than that. Second, my issue isn't the cost per se -- I have had many far more expensive meals, and some very high-end tasting menu experiences. I'm happy to pay for the extraordinary. But Prefecture is not that. In fact, there's an equally pricey sushi lounge elsewhere in Atlanta that I would gladly give five stars to, because their flavors, inventiveness and preparation are superb. Prefecture is just teensy-tiny pieces of expensive beef and fish prepared in fairly ordinary ways. Service was... equally ordinary. A slightly nervous waiter who appeared to have minimal training other than having memorized some extremely basic facts about each dish, and who seemed ill-suited to what's supposed to be a high-end restaurant. There are numerous steakhouses in town with equally good beef where a meal of the same price will actually be a steak, not a cruel joke on the gullible. read more

How does Prefecture not have a Michelin star or a recommendation? It was my favorite sushi and omakase experience of the year! It is perfection! I headed to south Buckhead to see if Prefecture was as good as I've heard. It's better. They are known for their Japanese omakase that heavily features A5 wagyu steak, and they've added a small plate and tapas menu that is just as amazing with everything from sushi rolls to ceviche to chicken wings! Plus, their Japanese inspired cocktail menu really shines when paired with their food. Here's the standouts of my dinner for Tapas and Small plates. The Sake Avocado Maki is "oh my word!!" So soft and melt in your mouth fish, creamy avocado, earthy umami aioli, a crispy garlic on top, surrounded by a spicy chili ponzu. One of the best rolls ever! Plus, the King salmon ceviche is super fresh salmon, a fantastic citrusy sauce with a hint of heat from the jalapeño and a hit of sweet orange and a good crunch on the top. Washed this down with a delicious Shogun cocktail. It is Bright champagne, sweet vermouth, floral gin, and a mint cordial My standouts from the 7-course Omakase. Of the Zensai apps the croquette was my favorite with wagyu beef, Japanese black futsu pumpkin, creamy, sweet, in a super crunchy croquette. Plus, of the wagyu/steak offerings my fave was the Zabuton. It's a delicate wagyu steak cut from the chuck center is so super tender and melts in your mouth. Delicate yet bold meat, buttery flavor, sweet and tangy apple ponzu and fried shallots for a little bit of crunch! The assorted sashimi was also a stunner. Hamachi, Amber Jack, and then red snapper. This beautiful dish is so fresh and served with a variety of ponzus. Favorite is the smokier and heartier red snapper! AND save room for the last meat course, the Wagyu slider! Delectable! It is perfectly cooked Wagyu beef topped with gruyere cheese, rich quail egg, toasted bun and a truffle aioli! Served with "chips and dip," crunchy chips and more truffle aioli! And the service is just top notch, white glove and you feel like a queen or king. read more

1000% enjoyed everythingggg!! Top tier restaurant. I wish i would have known about this place sooner!! My 10 year old ate every single thing on the 6 course! He's a bit different than your normal kid, obviously. The oysters here are like really amazing, comes already dressed to perfection, we actually had to get 2 orders as they come half dozen only. Shrimp tempura is sooo good as well. I truly enjoyed everything, half of the menu i wasn't really familiar with & took a chance as i always do & i have no regrets. Service was perfect, very informative on the menu as i asked a ton of questions to our waitress. It was very quiet & calm, more of a romantic type of vibe. Beautiful inside. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Will return very soon. Everyone was so accommodating & helping one another with the tables which i loved. Down to the valet 10/10!! read more

Prefecture continues to be one of the most unique dining experiences in Atlanta. Their 8 course omakase tasting menu is incredible and punches well above its weight compared to other omakase menus in the city. The ambiance is perfect for special occasions or a much needed personal night out. Definitely try their sake pairings with each course. All around one of the best meals I've had here! Could compete easily with any of the 1-2 Michelin star omakase joints in NYC read more

This was our first time at Prefecture and tried their 8 course omakase. The omakase menu features a lot of wagyu so I would recommend trying their a la carte menu if you think it could be too rich. Overall we felt like $185 for this menu was very worth it; we ended up adding truffle to one of our courses (+$20 to base price). After eating we didn't feel like the meal was overly heavy or rich. We definitely plan to return to try their a la carte menu now that we've tried their omakase menu. Our server was very friendly, the restaurant has great ambience and was perfect for date night. My favorite dishes are the A5 NY strip and wagyu slider. The A5 NY strip comes with 3 different types of pickles and they were delicious. Nicely pickled and paired well with the wagyu. Overall menu was delicious and we highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Came to Prefecture on my wife's birthday and were happy to dine at such a fine establishment in Atlanta. Our waiter was kind and made good recommendations and he suggested to us to go to with the Omakase menu but my wife and I opted for the Tapas and Small plates dishes. We ordered 7 dishes from there and felt happy with our choice. The cocktails were excellent and the seafood and wagyu dishes were wonderful. Since we didn't go with the Omakase meal I can't speak for the quality of that but the small dishes we ordered were all wonderful and full of flavor and quality. Our waiter gave us detailed descriptions of each dish and drinks we ordered and helped bring the meal together and made for a comfortable and well narrated meal. Don't think you can go wrong with any of the food options off the tapas menu and the drinks we ordered were all excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant is high class and a feeling of luxury and a well pampered meal and great for a special occasion as the prices were a bit high but well deservedly so. We came a bit early as our reservation was before 6 and had time to take some pictures in the restaurant which was nice. With regards to parking, we self parked in a covered parking lot directly adjacent to the entrance of Prefecture and while it is not officially Prefecture's parking lot, we were told it was fine to park there. Overall, my wife and I give Prefecture 5 stars and recommend them for a special occasion and give two thumbs up. Thank you! read more

A beautiful ambiance with very comfortable chairs actually lol. Service: friendly and water always full. Felt a bit pressured by some wait staff to continue to keep ordering additional items which i was not a fan of. Chef Sean is around and helps out and is always cordial and conversant with customers. Drinks: get the lychee vodka one. It's yummy without being too too sweet. The cardinal sin one was floral and came in a cool shaped glass. Food: did the signature omakase experience for $185. Bottom line is that i think it is overpriced for the experience. The food is well prepared but just not worth the cost in my opinion. The meat cuts are delicious and perfectly seared and the pairings are well thought out and unique. Favorites included the chuck center with the apple puree ponzu and the ny strip. The complements of the dishes heightened the cuts of the meat for sure. I was a bit disappointed because i felt that after the last wagyu cut, the last two dishes felt like a rushed afterthought. I was not a huge fan of the crab fried rice; there was so much rice and the crab was cold so it was an unpleasant temperature and texture pairing. The slider is decadent but borders on too heavy, especially to end the meal. Additionally i personally did not taste any truffle in the dish, only butter. Overall, i do not regret coming but do regret the price tag. Would probably not come again. Sister restaurant of norifish is much better in my opinion. Still need to try okiboru! read more

Ahhh finally a steak omakase done right in Atlanta! Service was impeccable, and the ambiance is perfect for date nights. I have been looking forward to their opening a while now, and it lived up to its hype. We chose the tasting menu of 8 courses for $175/person. every course was a delightful exploration of fusion flavors. I would take my family here on a nice occasion for sure. Let's dive a little deeper into each dish. Wagyu potato korokke - an unexpected surprise. I'm not a fan of croquettes but this one was so creamy and flavorful with just the right toppings. I was so sad because they did not have the pork belly, what I expected from other reviews, but this turned out very good so was not as bummed. 8/10 Zabuton chuck center - SO GOOD. The Apple ponzu and crispy shallot really accentuated the beefy flavors of this cut. 9/10 A5 Ribeye Cap - my least favorite cut of meat for the night, but was still good, maybe because it was chewier and rawer than I thought. 6/10 Sashimi moriawase- MY GOODNESS THE BEST SASHIMI plate I've ever had, and it's at a "steak omakase" restaurant, the irony haha. Better fish than what I've had at Nori Fish omakase, their sister restaurant. Salmon, scallops, and the most delicious hamachi I've ever tasted. This was so good, and it came at a perfect timing to cut the heaviness of the meat courses. I love the idea, kudos to whoever designed the course menu. 10000/10 A5 NY strip aburi- the explosion of flavor you'd expect if you ever had A5 Wagyu beef before. This was the most flavorful cut of meat for the night. It was cooked perfectly. My suggestion is to not dip it into the salt because the soy sauce and caviar already on it are salty enough, slightly saltier than I'd like actually, but the garlic chips and wasabi make for a great paring. 9/10 Lobster rice - love this dish. The cold lobster and warm rice are cooked to perfection. Very rich and decadent, and another nice break for them meat. 8/10 Wagyu sliders- my god the best sliders I've had, again. I've had some pretty life changing moments while dining here, and this was one of them. I don't think my palate can handle regular food again after tasting such an incredibly delicious mini burger. *cries in Vietnamese* this was a banging finale and I could not be happier by the end of the meal. 10000/10 Raspberry sorbet- done right. Refreshing with the right amount of sweetness and tartness. Beautiful ending. 9/10 Bonus dish- we ordered the oysters on top of the main courses and of course, they were very good as well, albeit the size of these are a little small. 8/10 We also had a cocktail for two in this fancy glass bottle. Delicious, boozy, and aesthetically pleasing. 10/10 read more

Excited to see a restaurant in the area that serves Japanese Wagyu! I went in thinking that I wouldn't be too full since the courses are small plates but I was surprisingly filled due to the fatty meats. I liked that there were sashimi and lobster rice in the course to break up the meat dishes. My favorites were the A5 Wagyu and Truffle Wagyu Sliders. The plating of each dish was artistic and I loved how each dish was described to us when we were served. Our server was very attentive and even gave us complimentary champagne since we were celebrating our anniversary! The interior is dark and moody. Perfect for special occasions, date night, and girl's night! Parking is easy to find since there is a free parking garage attached read more

I had the absolute pleasure of having Prefectures Omakase tasting and it did not disappoint. The sliders definitely stole the show as one of the tastiest things I've ever had. Prefecture is known for its wagyu and the chef absolutely delivered a banger tasting menu. Each course is better than the last, with a refreshing sashimi course in the middle between some amazing cuts of premium beef. The drinks were on point as well. The seasonal rum drink I had was amazing, so sweet and refreshing and paired well with all the savory dishes. I can't remember our servers name, but I can tell you the service was near Michelin. Very friendly, informative and attentive. Ambiance wise, this spot is perfect for a date night. The cherry blossoms pop and the lighting is low to set a perfect romantic tone. Long story long, if you like Wagyu, or enjoy Japanese steakhouses in general, do yourself a favor and go to Prefecture. read more

We visited Prefecture for my partner's birthday after seeing it on social media and could not have been more impressed with the ambience, service, and food. There are a few options for ordering, but this is a wagyu-based omakase restaurant. There are two omakase options (5 or 7 courses) and a small plates a la carte menu. We decided to both do the 7-course omakase and add the salmon ceviche as a starter. Each and every course was absolutely stunning visually and in terms of taste. The A5 Primal course was both of our favorite. It is served with a trio of pickled veggies and it was recommended that we alternate bites of wagyu with pickle as a palate cleanser since the wagyu is so rich. We didn't question them and were so glad because the pickle let us enjoy each and every bite of the wagyu, which was firing on all cylinders. My second favorite was the A5 Spinalis with the inventive cured egg shavings and his was the slider. The server also provided us with recommendations for cocktail timing in order to be harmonious with the coming courses and he did not miss, potentially because he was also the bartender. Every cocktail was a perfect pairing. The raspberry sorbet was the perfect ending to the umami of the night. In terms of ambiance, it was very dark, moody, and modern. We were really impressed with the low but enjoyable level of light they were able to achieve by using only small table lights and showcasing the dishes in the center of the restaurant, which caught the table lights and and resulted in beautiful reflection of dim light. Couldn't recommend more. Get in before this restaurant ends up with a Michelin star and you can't get a reservation. read more

Don't come here hungry. We did the 6 course meal and we were hungry and had to order tapas so we wouldn't leave starving. The drinks are way overpriced. $45 per cocktail? Robbery. Our bill was $500+.

Came for an anniversary dinner to try the first Wagyu Omakase experience in the south! Manager was really nice and gave us free champagne! The servers were super attentive and explained every dish that came out for Omakase. Purely food based review: For $175/person, the Omakase experience was definitely replicated well with Wagyu! I like that they started off with pork belly, then American Wagyu, then Japanese A5 Wagyu. Definitely ask for more sliced cucumbers to break the fat! They then switched into some fresh sashimi before the final three hitters, the NY steak (smaller portion than I expected but still very good), lobster rice (my favorite!) and a truffle Wagyu slider. Finally they brought out some ice cream. Overall, this is definitely a fancy occasion restaurant that's worth a try if you've never had Wagyu before! read more

Not the best. Food is not the best quality. I would not go back considering the price you pay and quality of the food. Sad.

Went here to celebrate my birthday in March with my best friend. We had 6pm reservations. I've had eaten here once before when they had first opened and loved it so I definitely wanted to return. We got the 8 courses and a drink each. Then our server told us about the sake or wine pairings they had for each dish (which is not on the menu). We added the sake pairings and had a wonderful time. We took our time eating the 8 beautiful prepared dishes. We savored each bite. Flavors were immaculate. We didn't leave the restaurant until 9pm. We did not feel rushed at all. I really appreciate that. And valet parking was available for $5. Would highly recommend. Will return soon. read more

Chef Park knocks it out of the park again with his latest vision come to life, Prefecture Japanese Steakhouse. It's one of a kind omakase experience is not to be missed. Chef Parks ability to tell a story through cuisine is nothing short of astounding. He takes you on a culinary journey that ebbs and flows, with build ups of bold flavors like the Kurabuta Pork Belly, interspersed with moments of levity from light and delicate dishes such as the amazing Moriawase Sashimi selection. There is a natural acceleration and crescendo to the flavor profiles presented that reaches its apex with the A5 New York Strip, at which point the flavors gently decend to bring you back down to Earth and conclude a highly satisfying and memorable meal. While the courses are mainly Japanese in inspiration you will notice some hints of Korean influence in a few of the dishes. Chef Park is truly a master of balancing flavors and ingredients. I do hope, as the name of the restaurant alludes to, that we will eventually be introduced to the award winning beefs of the different prefectures throughout Japan. I believe the Japanese A5 beef I was served was source from the Miyazaki prefecture. I would love to see some Kagoshima, Olive Wagyu, and Kobe beef showcased in the future. read more

Prefecture never disappoints! When you walk through the door of this hidden gem in Buckhead you are transported to a Japanese restaurant that would rival what one would find in NYC.

Daniel, our server, is gracious, knowledgeable and always greets us with a warm friendly welcome whether we are returning after a week away or a couple months!

Extremely delicious and unique. Came over after hearing from their sister restaurant Norifish (Sushi Omakase) and did not know what to expect. I was very surprised at the uniqueness of each dish and was in awe at the beauty of the plating. But most importantly the taste was phenomenal and unlike anything I have had before (Ordered the omakase). Despite many of the dishes being wagyu, they come in different forms that makes each dish distinct and memorable. The deliciousness of literally every dish while bringing a new concept to the area is what makes Prefecture truly unique. The most memorable restaurant. read more

My close friends and I decided to try out Prefecture and we were all blown away by the experience. The service from the beginning was super welcoming. The ambiance of the restaurant was low-lit, imitiate, and decorated with traditional Japanese accents. We all decided to do the Omakase course for $175/person with each course complimented by different types of Saké. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the sake flavors and names because, by the end of the night, I was very much buzzed. Grace was our server for the night and she was very warm/welcoming, attentive, and friendly. She was knowledgeable about the menu and sake options. Kani Korokke- As a starter plate, it was very crunchy, warm, and flavorful. The Umami Aioli and Chili Paste really gave this dish its character. Together they gave a burst of spice and creamy flavors with a kick of crunchy radishes on top. Japanese Wagyu and Potato Croquette | Pickled Radish | Umami Aioli Zabuton Chuck Center - This was one of my favorite dishes of the night. The meat was very soft and the fuji apple ponzu on top complimented the meat so well. It was very much a Unami flavor with a sweetened apple kick at the end. Sashimi Moriawase - This was a very refreshing dish/ palette cleanser from all the savory flavors. It came with three sauces that complemented the dish very well- yuzu ponzu, garlic oil, (forgot the third sauce), and cucumber slices at the end. A5 NY Strip Aburi - This was one of my top two dishes of the Omakase. The wagyu was so flavorful, savory, and melted in our mouths. Lobster Rice - The rice had a nice crunch to it that gave the whole dish its texture. The lobster was fresh, warm, and flavorful. Truffle Wagyu Slider - Absolutely loved how the egg oozed out of the slider. The wagyu, again, was very soft and rich in flavor. The potato chips are made fresh in-house and are super crispy. Sorbet- This was a delicious fruity end to the Omakase. At this point, I was very full but the sorbet wasn't too much. It was the perfect size and refreshing to counter all the Unami flavors. Overall 10/10 experience. I would definitely return and recommend it to everyone! read more
