Amazing sushi near Midtown, Virginia Highlands & Briarcliff

This is a really wonderful restaurant. My initial interest was the clever name and convenient, however off the beaten path, location. After my first bite of sashimi I knew I had found a jewel. With a softly lit, comfortable ambiance and quick, pleasant service this restaurant is sure to please. I especially suggest the Sushi and Sashimi Boat Dinner for Two as it is a great deal and allows you to enjoy a wide variety of foods. My favorite waitress, May, is almost always there and simply one of my very favorite waitresses in the city. Even on evenings that I am not particularly in the mood for sushi I'll come in to see her. She has memorized my tastes and always has my drink in hand when she realizes I'm at her table. She even remembers most of my friend's preferences. All around this is a grand restaurant and you have every reason to go check it out.

• Pros: Best sushi I've had in town
• Cons: Location

Two Fav's in one Spot!

by Hotlanta at Citysearch

Dined as lunch for two for under $40.

Pad Thai with Shrimp was very tasty and they kicked it up a notch just enough per our request. We shared the dish and cleared the plate bone dry. :)

Ordered three rolls including the Thaicoon Roll which made our taste-buds dance. Would order it again. Spider Roll was pretty good -- we have fav's elsewhere, but still not bad and it had good portions compared to what we've experienced elsewhere.

Delighted surprise: Diet Coke ordered was not a typical fountain drink -- came in the old style glass bottle with a glass of ice.

The atmosphere was pretty basic, but the service was prompt and friendly.

Left completely stuffed. Felt good value for the dollar and we loved browsing the shops in the area afterwards.

Would eat here again -- just wished it was closer to home. :)

• Pros: Sushi and Thai on the same menu.
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

My Opinion: Atlantas Best Sushi

by jbrown472 at Citysearch

The Thaicoon would have to be my favorite sushi resturant. The quality is AMAZING, the rice is Fresh and the staff is friendly. Your water is never below the half-way mark, they give great beer suggestions and have several varieties, including hot and cold saki's. Monday and Tuesday nights are their "Dollar" sushi night, the price isnt a dollar, its like a $1.25, but still a good deal. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

• Pros: Food, environment, staff and quality
• Cons: none
