Editorial Review for Sushi-Huku Japanese Restaurant – by Hannah Fischer
The Scene
Steaming warm towels appear before the meal; cold towels and hot tea appear afterward. Small booths, suggestive of rice paper walls, make up most of the seating. Authentic or not, Sushi-Huku satisfies the Asian fantasies of Westerners and Japanese alike.
The Food
Some of the freshest, most authentic sushi in Atlanta is served here. Maguro (tuna) sashimi shines with a nearly florescent hue. Ebi (shrimp) is simultaneously crisp and tender. Tempura, both in one of the steaming noodle broths and on its own, transforms the skill of frying into a light, graceful art. For something a little more exotic, try one of the appetizer assortments of Japanese pickled vegetables.

This sushi place is awesome. It was literally the best sushi I've ever had. Some sushi I've had elsewhere have been sub-par or not fresh, but this place had very fresh sushi and it tasted great. The customer service was great and quick, very polite and accommodating. They really cared about the customers, constantly making sure that I was taken care of. If you miss this place, you're missing out.
Pros: Service

i know how it is to read rants &ravings, and when you dine there yourself, you're dismayed. People have such different tastes, i understand that. but the disparity in MY dining experience to those of the avid. Ugh i feel fooled too often. Sushi huku is definitely worth my first rant on citysearch! (beat that) I was visiting atl and wanted a nice jap restaurant (regardless any price) and a friend led me to this place and the reviews werent that bad. The restaurant is literally hidden and even then, there was a line. Good sign #1. Once we walked in, the sushi chefs yelled out something in japanese and ladies in kimonos came to greet us. Surprise #1. The place is niche and homey with awesome private rooms where people seem to elevate from their seats COOL #1. Once seated we got hot towels to wash up. GREAT sign #2. We sat at the sushi bar and the sushi chef told us the fresh fish of the day and even while we dined, gave us background info on how everything was prepared COOL #2. On to the food or mouth luxuries as this would be. the sushi was the freshest I've ever eaten (i eat a lot of sushi too). it literally melted in my mouth and it was like pringles after that. (once you pop, cant stop). I had the pink lady roll and that was AH MAZING! the sauce is just right. tangy, sweet, spicy but not at all overpowering. then you get the nice crunch in between the rightly seasoned sushi rice and all of the tastes dancing in my mouth. My friend and i shared a salmon collar bone. That was to die for. The sushi chef was delighting in my oos and aahs and offered to make me something special. it had cream cheese, salmon, cucumber and a few other things but REALLY REALLY GOOD! Best rolls ever hands down. (i come from LA and SF, that's big!) I ranted to the owner, youngest sushi chef about how good the food was (they have a wall of fan photos including famous celebs & CEOs who dine there regularly). believe the hype. you'll love it. THE ROLLS! - avid fan
Pros: Unique service (servers in kimonos), plenty parking, very cool privite rooms, and AMAZING FOOD!
Cons: can be a bit pricey compared to other places but you really do get value
