    I stopped by Sushi Ave after I had an event nearby. I ordered their fried sushi roll and devoured it in the car on the way home. The service was fast, the staff were welcoming and the restaurant was clean. I look forward to returning for an in dining experience.

    A great location for lunch- I ran in 30mins before closing and the staff was excellent, accommodating, did not make me feel rushed or unwanted. My friend and I were the last to leave- the staff went to have lunch in the back, but often checked if we wanted more tea.. I felt every bit welcomed and it was greatly appreciated as I was having a hard day. I recommend the five herb tea- you'll enjoy the entire top and feel healthier with every sip. The menu has extensive Sushi options, however I opted for shrimp tempura and salad which came with rice and small miso soup- the shrimp were perfect! Golden brown, crispy- not oily.. the salad was made with the asian ginger dressing (my favorite, I wanted more). Lunch was enough to fill me but not cause me to feel stuffed- so I could get back to shopping. The beautiful asian decor is filled with many interesting art pieces and designs such as hanging paper umbrellas, and origami. The open concept kitchen is very entertaining to watch your sushi being made. Looking forward to impressing other friends with this experience.

    Halfway thru the BEST sushi ever!!

    The BEST Sushi in the area since the 90s. Cold Kirin! Been coming here since 97. They know our family, and bring Miso soup n rice for Cavin before we are comfortable. Love this place!

    Spicy shrimp roll and salmon skin roll
    Tiffani C.

    3/5 Service: Stopped by for lunch today, this is my first time trying this place. Upon entering, I was greeted and told to sit anywhere I wanted. I opted for take-out instead and was given the lunch and sushi menu. I wanted to see the pricing of the sushi, and the host was nice enough to help me with a sheet that had pricing. Once I received my order, I realized they had forgot my miso soup. I got it once I went back in but then I had to ask for a spoon. Food: The miso soup was honestly the star of the entire meal. I was not impressed with the rolls at all. The salmon skin roll was just okay, but better than the spicy crunchy shrimp roll. For one, it was not spicy at all, secondly the seafood it was wrapped it was basically inedible. I literally could not chew it, which is the first time that's happened. I wish I could've gotten a refund to the food alone, $19 down the drain. Ambiance: The restaurant was nice, clean, and quiet. Would be nice for lunch or dinner, especially since they have plenty of seating. Overall: I will not be returning, although the service was decent. They food turned me away; this was definitely a one and done for me.

    Last of the fried oysters

    Been going back and forth in regards to this spot. Location is cool. Food is so-so. It's tough for me to be critical of someone who opens their restaurant and tries to provide their gifts. I can make up a bunch of stuff about what happened to the restaurant, but what I can report on is only what we tried. For our experience, we're one and done. The quality of the fish is not there and the presentation isn't classic. It's Americanized or Supersized...and that's not traditional cuts or preparation. The sushi rice may have just been rice because we tasted nothing of what should be in the rice. The slices were huge, not complaining about the offering, just recognizing that it changes the taste and the experience. Fried oysters were actually very good! Full disclosure, served in a 5 star restaurant with incredibly fresh fish and a disciplined presentation bringing traditional Japanese to the States without compromise. The back and forth in my mind was due to the fact that if I ever give less than 4-5 STARS, I usually decide based on a feeling if this will even matter to the proprietor and if improvement is on the radar. Not sure, yet willing to try.

    Tempura shrimp
    JaNeese G.

    I had the tempura shrimp, various kinds of sushi, plum wine, and green tea. Everything was amazing!! I got there between 5 and 6 which was perfect because I obviously beat the mad rush. Bonus points for it being within walking distance of my hotel. I would definitely eat here again.

    This is a GREAT sushi place. Don't let the other reviews put you off. Service was spectacular, with staff checking on everything from the green tea flavor, to prompt service. Prices are excellent, and there's a great variety of non-sushi menu choices.

    Sushi Ave has two locations, one right on Decatur Square and the other on Ponce. You can find tables outside in the courtyard, there's a sushi bar and of course seating inside. I was looking forward to dining outside but there were too many flies in the area so I decided to dine inside. The sushi was just okay for me at 4 stars but the service is outstanding at 5 stars. I was immediately welcomed, checked on periodically while I was waiting for a friend by the hostess. Our waiter was very pleasant, answered our questions with a smile, gave honest recommendations and didn't rush us. Everyone was very friendly, even the Sushi Chefs greeted us. It's a very warm and welcoming environment. I love sushi and was looking forward to this meal for a few days so I ordered my favorites: Tempura Shrimp - $6.50 it tasted like something was missing, nothing special and tasted like TJs brand Seaweed Salad - $3.50 tasted fresh and good taste One cool thing about their menu is that they have pictures of all of their items which makes it helpful with ordering, especially if it's something you're not familiar with. They even have drawings of their rolls which lists the ingredients, it's like a sushi diagram. Love it! Rainbow Roll - 8 pieces - large pieces of fish and large rolls Shrimp Tempura Roll - 8 pieces Yellowtail Shashimi - 2 large meaty pieces Overall it's a decent spot in the area, honestly the service is what would have me coming back as a repeat customer. In addition to sushi and sashimi offerings, Sushi Ave serves traditional Japanese cuisine. These dishes include teriyaki plates and Japanese noodles such as soba and udon.

    Honestly, just deliciousness. I wasn't really feeling sushi this night but decided to impulsively for for the sushi and I could not be happier.

    Nabeyaki Udon (next time I'll request the shrimp tempura be on the side)

    I really enjoyed my experience at this eatery. The service was nice and timely. The food was exquisite. I highly recommend it for anyone, especially if you enjoy Japanese cuisine.

    Crunchy Spicy tuna roll and Takoyaki
    Jessica Z.

    The Crunchy Spicy tuna roll and Takoyaki was one of the best I've had in Atlanta so far! Only been here around 6 months but this has quickly become one of my favorite places to go. Wait staff was very friendly, sat my friend and I down quickly and reviewed the menu and specials with us.

    Super Crunchy Roll is in the building.

    I love eating here. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is courteous and friendly.

    97A health inspection as of May 2014. Although this restaurant has a good health inspection score, it was a horrible dining experience. A friend and I dined on a weekday evening for dinner. We entered and the waiter yelled across the room to tell us to sit at the table right next to the door. We waited for a good 10 minutes until another server came and brought us menus and ask if we needed drinks. When the water finally came, I asked for straws. The waiter said she'll bring some out after taking our orders. The straws never came. My friend waved the waiter down and asked for straws and she turned around to a stand with utensils and handed us two straws (why didn't this happen initially if the straws were right there?). To continue the service here, our food took about 15-20 minutes to be served CONSIDERING there were only 3 other tables dining that finished their entrees already. The waiters seemed in a rush to clean up and close the store when there was clearly 35-40minutes left until closing time. Never again. Aside from the service, the food was okay. Sushi rice was mushy and wet. Probably too much sushi vinegar used. The raw fish (salmon/tuna) was not fresh. My friend's roll with raw tuna bled color onto the sushi rice. I expected a little more from this restaurant being the only sushi within downtown Decatur.

I didn't enjoy any on this visit, but my buddies really enjoyed the 4 varieties they tried. Despite the menu being largely seafood oriented, I already knew I was ordering the "Kirkwood Smash" burger after my friend said it was prob his favorite burger in the area. The burger did not disappoint! The burger is not your traditional smash burger (in style or size) but was so good! The simplicity of the meat, cheese, and Calabrian mayo on that soft, brioche bun was perfect. It's one of the best burgers I've had in a while. The chips were really tasty too. The bathrooms had one of my favorite features - sinks outside the bathrooms. I know it's a small thing, but I like not having to wait for a free bathroom if I'm just washing my hands before a meal. The only downside is that our server seemed to be new. Almost every question, from "what's on draft" to "what's that Oyster's flavor like" was met with an unknowing stare and a trip to go ask someone else. She was really nice, just not very knowledgeable. I can't wait to go back when I'm in ATL next.

    My mother wanted seafood for her birthday, and after hearing so many great things about this…read morerestaurant, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to finally give it a try. Making reservations was incredibly easy through OpenTable, and I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient valet service for only $3. It was an effortless start to what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the host and promptly escorted to our table without any wait. Our waiter, Kevin, was phenomenal. He did an excellent job explaining the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations, and making sure everyone's needs were attended to throughout the afternoon. The service was attentive without being overbearing--truly excellent and unforgettable hospitality. We started with the Chargrilled Oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, and Calamari. Everything was satisfying, but the calamari was the standout for me. It had the perfect crunch and was quite literally fried to perfection. I would absolutely order it again. These appetizers are true staples and a great way to start the meal. We also enjoyed several rounds of cocktails. The bartender was able to execute a few off-menu, custom cocktails perfectly, and there were absolutely no complaints from our table. Everything was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared. For my entrée, I ordered the Blackened Branzino with lemon-herb beurre blanc, paired with whipped potatoes and Vichy carrots. By far, this is one of the best seafood entrées I've had in Atlanta. I've had branzino at plenty of other restaurants, but this one? It clears the competition and has officially claimed the #1 spot on my list. The fish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the sauce and sides. The rest of our party had equally impressive meals. I had the opportunity to sample the 12 oz. Prime NY Strip, Blackened Salmon, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Brussels Sprouts, Green Beans, and Clam Chowder, and everything was amazing. There wasn't a single dish that disappointed. Overall, this was truly an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Great food, phenomenal hospitality, attentive service, and an atmosphere that made celebrating my mother's birthday feel special. I'm already looking forward to returning--and next time, I definitely want to check out the patio! A true standout for seafood in Atlanta. Highly recommend.

I came on a Friday afternoon during oyster happy hour, and it was packed. There's plenty of tables. However, because it was so busy, I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. I made one and came 5-10 min earlier and we were seated right away. But they gave us the table right next to the door so we'd feel the door opening and closing throughout our dinner. As for food, the $2 oyster deal applies to their regular oysters where you can get them grilled or raw and in either half a dozen or a dozen pieces. The oysters were overall kind of small. Honestly, the grilled oysters were better tasting than raw to me. The calamari was great though. However, the breading easily fell off. The garlic aioli is a good addition for more flavor combos. I wish the sauce could have been a little bit spicier but that's a personal preference. I tried their draftburger beer which on happy hour is $5. It's a good light beer if that's what you're into. Not bad. Cocktails were ranging $10-20. This place takes pride in their service and attitude - and you can tell from how they dress and how they run things. It's definitely a place to come back for whether it's for the oysters again or other entrees.
