Atlanta Foodies

Sushi Hayakawa 1055 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta GA 30318 (770) 986-0010 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐  5-Stars UPDATE: This restaurant has moved from its original location on Buford Hwy and since then has been awarded their first Michelin Star. This restaurant is my favorite sushi house of all time, the chef, Atsushi (Art) Hayakawa was the sushi chef at Atlanta's MF Sushi bar in Midtown. www.sushihayakawa.com At the moment I step through the doors and pull the curtain to walk in everyone yells Greetings in Japanese. I always sit at my table and order unlimited refills of hot green tea and start eating away at my delicious dinner. On this trip to the restaurant, I again brought in a newbie; it was just after Christmas and the restaurant was so full there were patrons waiting in line at the door. Good thing we had reservations so we could deliver this review on the blog! We got seated at the sushi bar, and decided on what to drink, I always got my green tea, but asked if they had the Koji Blueberry s

J Alexander's Restaurant 5245 Peachtree Parkway Norcross, GA 30092 (770) 263-9755 This is my first time to J Alexanders. I've passed by the restaurant many times and even asked fellow friends to meet me there for dinner. I finally got to experience the food. We were greeted by our Hostess, and then proceeded to be serviced by four waitresses, by the end of the night I was totally confused, but over all we all had a good time. The restaurant is decorated with warm colors and it feels very comfortable, like a steak house slash lounge. I (Jenn) had my super large Mandarin Martini and shared a Steak and Baked Potato with Ms. Lu Anh. We talked and laughed all night while I stole bites of Greg's fish and kept the staff way beyond the hours of operation. Greg had the fish, which Lu Anh and Jenn stole many bites off the plate because it was so delicious we couldn't hold our forks back.

Tadka   Bamboo Gardens 11105 State Bridge Rd , Alpharetta, GA 30022. 770-622-1445 ⭐⭐⭐⭐4 Stars Tadka is connected Bamboo Garden, so it allows for the clients to choose their delights according to the menu. Tadka is Indian cuisine and Bamboo Garden is Chinese cuisine done Indian style. We ended up staying in the Tadka section only because we got all comfy on the sofa seats and were warming up by the fireplace. Tadka is decorated very rustic and very simple but comfortable. I ordered a Mango Martini, since mangos are a favorite of the Indians. Since I always order Mango lassi at restaurants I wanted to play it up.  I ordered a main course to share of course: the lamb biryani. It was heavenly, so good that I hoped that no one finished it all so that I could have some to take home in a doggie bag. I also wanted to comment that the Indochinese fried rice from Bamboo Gardens is also a great choice, they have four to choose from and are quite spicy, delicious and also has the satisf
