I've tried alot of sushi restaurants in Atlanta and Yami definitely is one of my top picks for freshness. Their sushi menu and combinations are very unique and the best part is you can create your own sushi roll! Whatever type of fish you want in a roll, they will make it for you. The prices aren't expensive at all- you won't pay more than $10 for 8 HUGE rolls of sushi. Their crab stick tempura is the best I've ever tasted!!! It's real crab not some imitation crab. And their ginger salads are to die for- the best ginger dressing ever, tomatoes and cucumbers.\r

But there are definitely some cons.\r

First of all, their service is TERRIBLE. I'm a regular customer, they already know what I'm going to order when I walk in and on more than one occasion I waited 45 minutes before getting my sushi. AND THERE WERE NO OTHER CUSTOMERS IN THERE! They put delivery and take out orders before their in-store customers, and when you ask whats taking so long they are quick to be rude. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt by going again but every time their services fails. Also, their ""hibachi"" hardly tastes like hibachi, its not even spelled right on the menu and you cant see the grill, its in the kitchen so who knows if its really hibachi or what. It doesnt taste good at all!\r

Great location for Emory students/Decatur residents. Don't waste your time eating there, just order it to go. Don't knock it all together because it is DEFINITELY some of the freshest sushi I've had.
