    Great food and fun. We got a new chef so our hibachi experience was not as fun as usual.

    We have been coming to Nakato for many years, like 30!! The food & service are always delicious. However, the physical space is in need of a facelift!

    I absolutely love everything about Nakatos ATL. Im not being bias either. I moved here 17 years ago and been coming for 15 years. Management has changed and went through the pandemic and yet the food is still the best in the city for Hibachi.

    Great experience start to finish. Only thing I noticed though I didn’t order it was the crab meat looked like processed (not real) in the display.
