For lovers of sushi, few dining experiences are as indulgent and exciting than an omakase (“I’ll leave it up to you” or chef’s choice.) It’s often an interactive experience, too, where people sit at the sushi bar engaging with and watching the chef meticulously prepare each course. Until recently, only a few restaurants around Atlanta offered omakase as an option on the menu. Now the omakase is a serious trend in Atlanta, with new restaurants opening focused on providing nothing but these chef’s choice dining experiences. Former omakase pop-ups are also transforming into permanent restaurants in Atlanta, including Omakase Table and Omakase by Yun. Here are just 12 restaurants offering omakase experiences to try, ranging from budget-friendly four-course meals to splurge-worthy feasts of up to 20 courses. Most restaurants listed on this map serve fish flown in weekly from Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo.
