    Lychee Martini
    Alexandra S.

    On a slow Tuesday night, I was greeted promptly upon arrival and seated at a bar table. My bartender was attentive, quickly serving my lychee martini and water. I asked for recommendations on popular menu items and received excellent suggestions. My appetizer, the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, arrived promptly and was delicious. However, over 50 minutes passed and my entrée sushi roll still had not arrived. To make matters worse, other guests who ordered after me received their meals, requested condiments or water refills, and even had special revisions completed--while my roll never came. I spoke with the hostess to involve the manager. The manager apologized profusely but did not offer to comp any part of my bill. By the time any effort was made to prepare my roll, my appetite was gone, and the experience left a negative impression. Overall, while the staff was friendly and my appetizer was good, the extended delay and lack of proper resolution for my entrée made this visit disappointing.

    The atmosphere is very nice. Spacious and very well designed. Thats where it all ends. The food has no flavor. The hibachi is SO bland. I mean everything from the shrimp to the chicken. No flavor whatsoever. I saw the cook add butter to the steak so that may have some but nothing else did. The rice was BLAND. The vegetable were overcooked and ate the portions are VERY SMALL. There are a thousand hibachi places in Atl. Find another one because this isn't it.

    Great ambience, good service and awesome food. It's right on powers ferry and conveniently located. Decent price and nice ambiance. I have tried the place for few times with my friends and we all liked it. Recently ordered Orange chicken and it was fabulous! Freshly made with tender and juicy chicken and real orange mix. A place to try sushi and all the Chinese dishes.

    I came here with a friend and we enjoyed it! The ambiance was nice, the menu was huge, and our bar tenders were friendly (we sat at the bar outside.) I liked the miso soup but the tiger roll could have been better. It wasn't bad by any means but it didn't seem to have much flavor. I had the chocolate dome for dessert and that tasted amazing. The drink I ordered (I'm forgetting the name but I know "dragon" was in it) was pretty good. It seemed like the alcohol kept separating out because some of the sips had a bit of a bite to them when others didn't lol. The presentation was nice, it's very pretty. My friend ordered the Lychee drink and she liked it. I tried it as well and thought it tasted great. I might order it next time! My friend got a sushi roll (forgetting name) and the seafood fried rice. The portion for the fried rice was huge! She was happy with her meal. We were here on a Friday evening around 7:30-9:30ish and there was activity but it wasn't super busy. There was tons of parking available. I live nearby and have definitely seen it packed before. I'm assuming Saturday and Sunday evenings get busier, and if there is a Braves game it probably gets a bit crazy pre and post game. We had no wait tonight. We sat at the bar but I don't think we would've had to wait for a table inside either. Overall I'm giving a 4 because I really loved the vibes here :) I was a little disappointed in their tiger roll but my friend and I had a great evening at The Orient. I'd happily come again and try some of their other items.

    Came for lunch, there was a short wait but still pretty fast service. I got the Bento box. Came with fried rice, miso soup, tempura, beef teriyaki, small salad and 4 pieces of California roll. The California roll but slim and not packed with much crab meat. The beef teriyaki was okay, a little dry in my opinion. The tempura was good tho, it was fried well and came with a nice dipping sauce. I also enjoyed the miso soup and salad. The fried rice was okay, a little salty but still pretty flavorful. This was a good deal since it came with so many items but quality could be improved.

    So this year we channeled our inner Christmas Story characters and ventured out to The Orient for our Christmas Dinner. I had called ahead to see if they were open and if they may have a table and a very friendly woman told us "come on in, we're a huge restaurant and we'll find you a table!" Still... when we pulled up we were concerned about the sheer amount of cars in the parking lot and the large amount of people dwelling near the door. Worried for no reason, we were seated within 5 minutes and even had a view of the game on tv, which my bf was very happy about. We ordered the Mongolian Beef, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and House Fried Rice. I'm a little (lot) picky about my chinese food having grown up near NYC with access to some of the best chinese in the country (arguably) but I'm so happy - I finally found a Chinese place in Atlanta that was actually GREAT! It's hard to say why, more flavor? better flavor? my kind of flavor? Don't know, don't care, I'll be going back to try to figure it out often. Oh, they also have hibachi and sushi - maybe someday I'll try it - but there's so many more Chinese dishes that I want to try first! Also, we saw several tables had the PU PU platter, which is not my jam - but looked fun for a big table. Enjoy!

    Came to The Orient for a Saturday lunch. You have the option to sit on the restaurant or hibachi side. If you choose hibachi, the Chinese menu isn't available. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, we ended up sitting at our hibachi table alone. The service was quick. Our hibachi chef was really great and entertaining. I took a star away because the tap water didn't taste fresh and the food could've used just a tad more seasoning. The music and set up was really nice - they have a ton of windows that does really well with bringing the natural light in. I'd come back and try the other side of the restaurant.

    Wonton Soup
    Elizabeth Y.

    Walked in with my husband for the first time on a weeknight for dinner. I will say parking was a bit difficult so be prepared to potentially look for a spot for a while. There was a very short wait, but we were able to get seated within a couple of minutes. Our server greeted us very quickly and got us started off with waters. He was very kind and attentive throughout the entire experience, which was greatly appreciated. For my starter, I got the wonton soup, followed by a volcano roll and the fried beef with peppers as my entrée. All of the food came out with rapid speed and was absolutely delicious! I particularly loved how fresh the sushi tasted and how unbelievably crispy beef was that they had in my main course. I think the portions are very fair for the price as well. We can't wait to come back!

    This place is such a staple in our friend group. The food is always delicious and the cocktails on point. Today was a wind down day with my friends so we sat on the patio with some sangrias, Palomas & lychee martinis. We ordered a chicken fried rice and Jessica albacore roll (tuna is not my fav in sushi) and it was better than I expected. Our server was very attentive and charismatic - he kept us entertained all evening. The vibe is always inviting, clean and friendly. Everybody seems to go with the flow (and it's a nice flow) so it's not so rigid

    The food is amazing! Very authentic and delicious Our server was amazing as well. The restaurant has regular seating and hibachi and also they have inside and outside dining.

    As always excellent food. And quite possibly the best egg rolls in the area. Light and crispy!!! Great service and the music was perfect for the meal. Not too loud and great variety of genres. Just come by and if you have any wait (not that we ever have) there is a great koi pond that you can enjoy- and feed the fish.

    Very nice outside and a lot of space inside! The service was good and also the laid back vibe. The food was good and pricing is reasonable for dinner! I recommend trying it for sure!

At first, I didn't think I was going to like it, but it ended up being sooo flavorful and incredibly easy to eat. If you have a smaller mouth like me, you don't have to worry about making a mess because the sushi was so soft and practically melted with every bite. Of course, I had to order their Casanova Roll since it's what they're best known for, and it definitely did not disappoint! It was on the sweeter side with plenty of sauce, which was perfect for my palate. Now onto the Miso Steak. I ordered it medium, but some bites toward the end were more well done. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either, so I personally wouldn't recommend it. Overall, I had a great experience here, but I do think the food is overpriced. Also, be prepared to squint a little at the menu because it is very dark inside!

Law of supply and demand. But given the elevation in quality of life this establishment has provided me with across the years, I feel I owe them some good marketing through a review. If there was a sushi coefficient of freshness, quality, quantity, and cost, this place wins everyday. C= (Fr*Q*q*c) Fr: 9 Q: 8 q: 10 c: 10 C(Yokohama)= 7200 Don't get me wrong - the competition is fierce for delicious sushi (Fudo, MF sushi, Nobu, all the Omakase scenarios popping up in town). What this means is the cost (c) is way too high, giving it a low 1-5 in the equation. Also, quantity (q) is low, about 4-6. So, the resulting coefficient is very low overall. From my understanding, the fish here only comes from Japan, so it's good stuff - and they really load up the rolls (a lot of the time), and they have this deal on weekend for special rolls (25% off I think). So you do get the quality, quantity, and decent price (about $12-15 per specialty roll). The regular rolls are good too, and loaded with fish. E.g. spicy salmon/tuna. So, if you're looking to go crazy on some good sushi without restraint and without breaking the bank completely, this is your spot. family owned I believe, very nice and efficient service. Cozy/casual, not too fancy, but feels comfortable to dine in. No delivery unfortunately on any app, but that makes quality control better IMO. Thank you for your attention to this manner.

What a great deal - my friends and I decided to check it out and we had a great dinner. Servers were attentive and the food came out in a timely manner. I ordered the Samurai Roll, as well as the Chicken Karaage appetizer. The chicken was sooo good - perfectly, lightly fried with sauce to dip. Tender and flavorful! The Samurai Roll was substantial and I appreciate the generosity of the roll. It was topped with salmon, and usually when rolls are topped with fish, it's usually a pretty thin slice of fish, but these slices of salmon were quite thick in my opinion. The pieces of sushi themselves are also fairly thick - it was a big bite for me to eat each piece in one. I made a reservation in advance and the staff already had my table ready even though I was a little early. The table was already dressed with menus, chopsticks, and some small plates/sauce dishes. Love it when restaurants are on top of it!

When the bill came, I realized this probably wasn't the best choice for a quick, light meal. The prices were comparable to California, but the quality didn't quite match.
