We had an amazing experience at MF sushi Atlanta. Everything about the meal was flawless. The baked lobster tempura was a standout—flavorful, and absolutely delicious. It was the perfect blend of textures and flavors, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting. The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented, and every dish felt like it was crafted with care. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. One of the good sushi spots we go to, and will continue to come back.

I have not been to Atlanta Fish Market in probably a decade and the quality has not declined at all. I got the Apple Kale Salad and Jumbo Fried Shrimp. My friend got the lobster scampi and shrimp cocktail. Both delicious. He did not enjoy the mocktail

Caleb was phenomenal. Unobtrusive, but still very present. If you want to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, come early. Coursing was perfect after we asked to slow it down. Value has slightly declined, but Umi will always be a favorite in Atlanta. A5 Wagyu Roll was a complete miss this time, but everything else was phenomenal. The Otoro Caviar is a must try!
