I ordered sushi for a lunch meeting, one set for myself and one for my boss. When we received the…read moreorder, all of the sushi was placed together in one large container as if it were meant for one person to eat. My boss had three rolls and I only had one, so it should have been packaged separately or at least more thoughtfully. But hey, at least they gave us 5 chopsticks, so clearly they knew it was for more than one person. On top of that, the yellowtail scallion rolls were not properly wrapped, a few pieces had completely fallen apart. Presentation matters, especially for a business lunch, and this was disappointing. The taste was also underwhelming. It had an odd flavor and wasn't very enjoyable. Overall, between the poor packaging, messy presentation, and lackluster taste, I'm not sure I'll be coming back.

Yakitori Jinbei was an ok option that seemed to have more misses than hits…read more While the inside is cool with a sushi bar and some solid service, I think the meal itself was where something was missing. I shared the Karaage and Korean fried chicken with my friends and didn't find either to be something I would reorder, however I will say that my friends all spoke highly of the Korean fried chicken. For my main, I had the Wagyu Maki and it didn't live up to the expectations or price at all. We finished off with the mochi which was very tasty. I'll caveat this all with adding my friends who had the ramen and fried rice enjoyed their meals a lot more than mine. This could be a result of just ordering better items or just having a one-off bad experience myself. Overall, I think if you're avoiding seafood then Yakitori Jinbei might not be the best place to try in my personal experience.

5/5 Yakitori Janbeli…read moreI was in town for a business trip and decided to give Yakitori Janbeli a try after seeing all the glowing online reviews and the Food Network hype. I stopped by on a Tuesday evening around 8 PM, placed a call-in order, and it was ready in about 20 minutes--super convenient! I went with the fried rice and the Korean-style fried chicken. The place has a nice moderate-sized space with pleasant outdoor seating, and the staff was really friendly when I picked up my order. Once I got back and dug in, it was clear they use super fresh ingredients, and everything tasted like it was made to order. The fried rice had nice, layered flavors, and the chicken had a clean, crisp bite with a tasty sauce drizzled on top. Honestly, I couldn't quite see what all the major hype was about, but it was still a solid, good-quality meal with great presentation. That said, given the other more affordable options in the area with better portions, I probably wouldn't go back on my next visit. Would recommend if you're looking for fresh, quality ingredients in a convenient spot!

Ingredients were NOT fresh, really it wouldn't surprise me if it had been in a display case all day, that's about what it felt like to eat it. The price was higher than most other sushi places I've been to in the Marietta area so I was hoping for fresh and delicious sushi, but it was actually unappetizing and presentation was sloppy and disproportionate. One roll was basically empty, just rice and seaweed. Certainly not appropriate for a Japanese dish! Can't say I am excited to try this place again. I know several other sushi spots that are consistent and reliable! Save your appetite for a better restaurant. This was a takeout order, nothing to report for service and ambiance.

They were offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal on the chicken fried rice, which we decided to take advantage of so we could have leftovers. The portions were huge, which was definitely a plus. The chicken fried rice tasted good and was made fresh, but it could have used a bit more seasoning. It felt like something was missing, though I couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. Since the delivery took about an hour, I did have to reheat the food once it arrived. Overall, the price was great, especially considering the portion sizes. However, because the restaurant is a bit farther out, I did end up paying extra for delivery due to the distance.

Looks are deceiving from the outside but don't let it fool you. This place was 10/10!!! Amazing, delicious food!!!! The size portion didn't disappoint and the flavors were incredible! The person who helped us was so sweet too and the cook even noticed we were new and was attentive to tell the cashier that we needed guidance. I do wish there was options for a fountain drink rather than buying individual bottled drinks but over all, I was happy my husband found this location.

Each plate will have three pieces of a roll or two pieces of nigiri, so you can experiment. My favorite is probably the phoenix roll. We also like the factory roll, and my friends all love the Dynamite roll (I just like it). You can also order off the touchscreen menu if you want something that isn't on the carousel - my friend always gets a bagel roll, and another friend often gets ramen (the shoyu is delicious!). Those come out on their own track in a little express train! So cute. The service is great too. Never had a bad experience. They check in, but don't hover bc there's a call button on your touch screen and they are always quickly responsive to it. They have some lovely adult beverages too. We always get warm sake and Sapporo beer, but sometimes my friends get the plum wine or these GLORIOUS fruity (peach?) cold sake cocktails. Seriously, find what I'm talking about in the menu and get one. Yummy! When you're done, they just count your plates and calculate your bill. We really love this place and go there often.

My nephew picked this place to eat for his 14th birthday, and it was so much fun…read more It is next to Dixie Tavern, so there is a parking lot for your car, but some nights it may be busier than others. There is a revolving belt where you can pick sushi; each plate is $3.50. The nigiri comes in pairs, and the sushi rolls come in sets of 3 or 4. I love that they are small portions so that you can try a variety of the rolls. There is also a menu on the iPad at your table that you can use to order. If you order from the iPad, it comes on the top revolving belt in these cute little, smiling, spaceship-like containers that stop and open at your seat. If you ever need help, you can click on the service button on the iPad. We ordered edamma as our starter and it came iin the smiley train. I had some unfilted sake and water with lemon. The first sushi plate I grabbed was salmon nigiri, and it was very tasty and fresh. My nephew grabbed a salmon nigiri and a California roll. He probably ate three salmon nigiri and three orders of California roll. I also grabbed a salmon, avocado, and cream cheese roll, a spicy yellowtail, and ordered a spicy kanji as they stopped revolving. It's fun while my brother got the tiger and super roll, along with a few other things, for dessert w got chocolate and strawberry mochi. It was lots of fun and good. I will definitely be back.

After moving to the area, I was hoping to find a great local spot for Chinese takeout, and The…read moreOrient absolutely delivered. I ordered the lo mein with a side of yum yum sauce, and from the first bite, I knew I'd be ordering from here again. The food arrived surprisingly hot, which says a lot about both the restaurant and the delivery service. Everything tasted fresh, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the flavor was exactly what I was hoping for. The yum yum sauce was a great addition and paired really well with the meal. The portion size was generous--honestly more than I would normally eat in one sitting. But it was one of those meals where I kept telling myself, "Just one more bite," until I realized I'd eaten almost all of it. That's always a good sign. If the lo mein is any indication of the quality of the rest of their menu, I'm excited to come back and try more dishes. Finding a dependable takeout restaurant can be tough, but I think I found one. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful Chinese food with generous portions, The Orient is definitely worth a try.

5/5 stars I was in town for a business trip and decided to…read morestop by The Orient on a Wednesday evening after a long day of meetings. Since I wasn't in the mood to sit down and eat, I went ahead and placed a call-ahead order for their House Lo Mein along with an order of fried chicken wings. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious with a nice, welcoming atmosphere once you step inside. The décor gives off a classic Chinese restaurant vibe that feels comfortable and relaxing. Parking, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. The spots right in front of the building are limited, so I ended up using the extended parking lot, which was a little dark and had that slightly eerie feeling at night -- nothing too wild or dangerous, but definitely not the most well-lit area I've seen. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was pleasantly greeted right at the door by the staff, who provided genuinely friendly and efficient customer service. That warm welcome made the whole pickup process smooth and quick. Once I got back to my hotel room and finally dug into the food, I have to say the House Lo Mein was prepared with fresh ingredients and good quality noodles and vegetables. It wasn't the most outstanding lo mein I've ever tasted in my life -- I've had versions that were more flavorful and better seasoned -- but it certainly wasn't the worst either. I'd honestly describe it as pretty mid-tier: solid, reliable, and worth what I paid for it on that particular evening. The fried chicken wings, on the other hand, really stood out to me. They were extra crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and actually had some noticeable flavor and seasoning, which made them quite enjoyable. All in all, it was a decent and satisfying meal that hit the spot after a tiring day. The portions were generous enough, and the value felt reasonable. I could definitely see myself returning to The Orient sometime in the future if I find myself back in the area and in need of a quick Chinese takeout option. That said, with plenty of other restaurants nearby that offer more affordable prices and bolder flavors, it probably wouldn't be my absolute first choice the next time I'm craving something similar. Still, if you're looking for a convenient, no-fuss spot with friendly service and consistently okay-to-good food, The Orient is worth considering.

We got the sushi and sashimi lunch and a bento box which was enough for 2 adults and a hungry toddler Each lunch comes with soup or salad & both were delicious. They have a mayo-y ginger dressing similar to yum yum sauce. I prefer vinegar based but it was good! The nigiri had a little flair which I love! And everything was so fresh and soft pieces of fish. Very good quality for this price point! Sashimi had some nice cuts & generous pieces & plate presentation was Instagram ready The bento came with California roll, yakitori stick, tons of veggies, fried rice (+$1 but worth), huge portion of meat of choice, and shumai (or gyoza).
