What People Are Saying About Sushi-Huku Japanese Restaurant

Featured Review

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,…

Very rushed

by GatorGirl89

Two of my friends and myself had a girls night out recently. We decide on Sushi Huku based on the rave reviews.

We walk in and yes, it was crowded, but there were open tables. The greeter told us they were reserved for people with reservations. We asked to sit at the sushi bar which was completely open instead. As we sat down, the waitress comes over and screams NO NO NO SIT AT THE END! and ushers us next to the wall, all crammed together. I could not move my left arm because we were so crowded together next to the wall!

I just don't understand why they thought at 9:30pm there would be some GREAT rush of people wanting to sit at the sushi bar! However, we certainly would have moved down IF there was.

So we order our sushi and soup and the waitress just kept rushing around with our water and our soup and reaching to get our sushi for us.

We literally were fed in under six minutes. I certainly would have ordered something else had I not felt so rushed! The waitress kept saying anything else? anything else? like we were being a huge imposition.

We said, no, paid and left after about 13 minutes.

I honestly cannot remember if the sushi was good or not because of us being crammed in, rushed, and ushered out. Weird! PS the tables that had the "reservations?" still empty as we left...

I became a sushi lover...

by jcruz10

I am really not a sushi fan, but when my sister brought me here, I became one. It's not just a few pieces of fish - it was art on a plate. The atmosphere was also definitely a plus.
