    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.

    Had a very nice dinner with visiting family. We were seated out in the atrium area which is nice except we were near the bar area and they played the music a little loud. So it was hard to hear conversations at the table at times. That was our only negative. Our server was extremely nice , friendly and knew what she was doing. Everyone enjoyed their meals and desserts. All staff we met there were very friendly and helpful. They have decorated the atrium for Christmas with a very large tree. We had a toddler with us and they were very gracious and helped us get some great photos in front of the tree.
