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.

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!

When it is busy it is loud. The food was very good, ceviche, duck, & lobster Brie Mac and Cheese. The service was great too, especially how busy it was. On the expensive side for drinks but worth it.

Great overall experience. Sushi was fresh and met expectations. It wasn't very busy that evening and service was friendly and prompt. Definitely a whiskey bar type atmosphere with dim lighting, which is not a bad thing. Prices are what I'd expect for the locale. Otoro carpaccio was probably the highlight of the dishes ordered.
