But it is a romantic place for adults. ”
- “
Highly recommend this unique romantic sushi restaurant! ”
- “
It was rated number five on one of Atlanta's most romantic places to dine. ”
- “
It's super expensive for what you get (try the $40 deluxe meal - you don't get but a morsel of the cheapest, crappiest fish), fish were not fresh, and the modern, hip, midtown decor just doesn't mesh well with traditional food like sushi. ”
- “
The ambiance was great, and everyone was very friendly. ”
- “
The ambiance was great - down to the smallest detail, but the food was nothing to write home about. ”

The decor is nice, nothing to wet your pants over. ”

The food is excellent, the service is great, and the atmosphere is trendy and intimate. ”

If you would like eating mediocre sushi in a loud,claustrophobic,and expensive disco,by all means go here for a meal! ”
- “
For those of us who actually care about, you know, the food, MF's is among, if not THE, best sushi in the Southeast. ”
- “
The restaurant was pretty, the service was good, and the sushi was very tasty, but it's no better than what they have at RuSan's or Kampai, and it's more expensive. ”
- “
Overrated - Overpriced - Fish not fresh ”

travel a ton as an auditor, and I am here to tell you this is the best sushi in Atlanta. ”

MF used to be great--- however, service is terrible now and you will wait nearly 2 hours for your food -- yes two hours. ”

The sushi is by far the best quality and taste in town. ”

The best experience here is the fish, and that becomes hidden the the so-so rolls with lettuce and avocado. ”
- “
You will not find any restaurant that delivers high quality food, great service, and ambience like of MF Sushibar. ”
- “
Service was not bad but food was not great. ”
- “
Chef with a mind set of most people are stupid about sushi. ”
- “
Very fresh, very tasty fish in a smaller but fashionable restaurant ”
- “
really felt people here came to enjoy something diffrent not for food. ”
- “
there are better places in town where the service, wait time and food are good. ”
- “
Skip the menu and ask the sushi-san to suggest a course. ”
- “
The fish here is phenomenal and one of the best things they have that not many other places offer is fresh grated wasabi root. ”
- “
awesome sushi ”
- “
MF has great fish and a wide variety of it. ”

- “
The atmosphere is shiek, the fish is super fresh, and the service is near perfect. ”
- “
MF Sushi is the absolute best sushi in Atlanta. ”

You get more sushi for your money and the quality is excellent esp if you time your visit right after they get a fresh batch in (important to develop a relationship w/ the chef so he'll tell you when). ”

MF sushi was the big word in japanese restaurants of atlanta but being a person knowledgeable in sushi, this was a very big upset! ”
- “
extremely mediocre sushi for people who don't know any better ”

Well, unfortunately the sushi weren't as great as I had expected ! ”

Anyone that compares MF to Nickiemoto's, RuSan's, etc. doesn't know good sushi. ”
- “
We were going to order more sushi as we ate, but considering how long it took to get our first order we stopped. ”
- “
The sushi was very fresh and the place was really nice. ”
- “
If you want to pay for overpriced sushi and not be full or satisfied afterwards, then come here. ”
- “
few years older and a few good sushi restaurants under my belt I can say not worth it! ”
- “
the unforunate aspect was the food was good but the overall experience and treatment by the staff will keep me and many others away from this overly hyped fish bait. ”
- “
I'd like to rate lower than 2 stars but considering there are globs of mediocre sushi houses in ATL that ppl rave about but really deserve 1 star (i.e. Nickimoto, Harry & Sons, Rusans to name a few...) ”
- “
Both of us moved down from NY and heard a lot about MF and thought the sushi here would be outstanding. ”
- “
have never had sushi that was as fresh or as good as MF sushi. ”
- “
The service was mediocre at best and the quality of the sushi did not meet up to the price of the package. ”
- “
It's sad to see that people think this place is any good - it only means that they've never had good sushi before, and are unable to judge the quality of the fish. ”
- “
am an individual whom cannot eat seafood that is not fresh, i will get allergic and needs pills or injection to stop my shortage breathing and rashes. ”

However, it's still our favorite sushi restaurant. ”
- “
Highly recommend this unique romantic sushi restaurant! ”
- “
best sushi in town ”
- “
know the fish, especially the sashimi, was very fresh and tasty. ”
- “
Each dish has its own unique flavor and the fishes are always fresh and delicious. ”
- “
the sushi was pretty good, not worth the wait (20 minutes for 3 nigiri orders, ridiculous). ”
- “
Our benchmark for great, consistent sushi in the area is Harry & Sons, and we found that this sushi was no better quality, but higher priced. ”
- “
Good sushi but kind of pretentious and the tables are really crowded in there so I wouldn't recommend it for a date or intimate dinner. ”
- “
Compared to other higher quality sushi restaurants, MF offers small rolls for expensive prices. ”
- “
Let me start by saying, I love Japanese food and would drive 20-25 miles to have some good sushi. ”
- “
The sushi is great, but it is ruined by the slow waitstaff and rude managers. ”
- “
It is in the upper price range but after having bad sushi in cheap places and getting sick, I am happy to pay for the fresh fish they fly in straight from Toyko and not out of some warehouse. ”
- “
The sushi at this place was not that good. ”
- “
MF is the best sushi restaurant we have found in the metro Atlanta area and one of the best I have tried in the whole US. ”
- “
The fish is mediocre and overpriced. ”
- “
the servers were nice, and at least they were prompt at bringing us more sake, but we were there for about three and a half hours, and only had food for half that time. ”
- “
finally after i ate at MF , i just got the best sushi ever in my life. ”

Nice place for sushi ”

Our best sushi restaurant ”

The service was VERY fast and the quality still the same, the best sushi in Atlanta. ”
- “
The food was excellent and the waiters were very helpful. ”
- “
went at lunch and the prices were not bad, I think I spent around $8 and that included the ginger salad, soup and I got rolls-- spicy tuna, california rolls, and cucumber rolls. ”
- “
the fish was fantastic. ”
- “
My favorite sushi ”
- “
The rolls were small to me, but I am also 220 pounds with a big appetite, so a lot of food items appear small to me. ”
- “
May not get the best sushi but certainly better than many and much of the crowd is Japanese. ”
- “
The sushi is great & The waitress is attentive, ”
- “
Excellent food, great atmosphere, passionate artists - a clear winner in Atlanta that I would put up against any sushi bar, anywhere. ”
- “

- “
But to those who knows sushi, this place looks pretty and the food is so so. ”
- “
MF Sushi is one of the most satisfying sushi experiences I've had. ”
- “
But even after all this I think the fish was fresh and good, atmosphere was good, staff was good and I'll go back again with some girlfriends. ”
- “
Beyond that, there was nothing incredible about MF, just good sushi. ”
- “
can't say that i hated it, because the fish was really good, the sake selection was excellent, and the servers *were* actually nice -- but jeez. ”
- “
However, the sushi taste fresh and absolutely delicious, the service is good hence the driving is all worth it! ”
- “
The Ginger salad was a little old, Miso was excellent. ”
- “
You just don't get deliveries of fresh fish every day. ”
- “
The ambiance was great - down to the smallest detail, but the food was nothing to write home about. ”
