Nakato Japanese Restaurant
Owner
At Nakato, the oldest Japanese restaurant in Atlanta, there's something for everyone. Choose from a flaming culinary performance at the Hibachi Grill, where any dinner of chicken, vegetables, seafood or beef also includes soup, appetizer, salad and noodles/rice. A seat at the sushi bar features an extensive sushi, sashimi and vegetable roll menu. Relax at the bar and lounge with a Japanese beer or one of the many brands of sake. The Garden Dining room offers a traditional Japanese menu in a traditional restaurant setting. Call ahead for reservations: this place gets busy!

This is one of the more impressive hibachi restaurants that I have been to. Although my food was great (the little I did get to eat). I was in the restaurant not even 30 minutes before finding out that my car had been broken into which was parked in the restaurant's back lot. And after talking to some of the waitstaff, one reported seeing this same event happen twice already since they have been working there. So in my opinion, Nakato is a good Japanese restaurant, but they need to spruce up their security! They should seriously consider investing in some cameras for their parking lots.

well....there is a first and last time for most everything
by stejonski at Citysearch
My wife and I tried this place recently for dinner.the food was very generic and plain.But not only that...the portion size... if you blinked twice you'd miss it. And then, to top it off... they rushed us out. Not good value at all.
- Cons: food taste, portion size
