Some Healthy Japanese I


When we are sick of oily restaurant food, healthy Japanese is Always a good option. Fortunately, Atlanta got a bunch of them. This list is more focused on OTP, I need to do another one later.

1 Sushi House Hayakawa
Address: 5979 Buford Hwy Atlanta GA 30340
Phone: 770-986-0010
Website: http://www.atlantasushibar.com/
Sushi House Hayakawa is a staple on Buford Highway. They keep the restaurant small enough (35 people at the same time), to make sure the chef can complete every job impeccable. You can definitely have an intimate dinner with good vibes. Their sashimi plate (omakase) is out of this world.

2 Tomo Japanese Restaurant
Address: 3630 Peachtree Rd Ste 140 Atlanta GA 30326
Phone: 404-835-2708
Website: http://www.tomorestaurant.com/index.html
While Hayakawa is a solid old-fashioned Japanese food, Tomo is more about modern Japanese. Located in Buckhead, it presents elegant, subtle and sometimes innovative dishes. The dessert Mango Sunny is my all time favorite, which uses healthy ingredients to imitate breakfast.

Let's Grab a Cup of Coffee

Weekends are always good time to hop on coffee shops. So follow me, and jump onto any one of them, you'll get your caffein fixed. Who wants to go to Starbucks if you have those choices.

1 Octane

Address: 1009 Marietta Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
Phone: 404-815-9886
Website: http://octanecoffee.com/
Hands down, best coffee in town. Their barista actually won the national coffee roasting competition.  They also sell King of Pops and other pastries. Parking of the one that is close to Georgia Tech is really tough, more than likely, you need to park somewhere else. There's a new Octane in Buckhead!

2 Condesa Coffee

Address: 480 John Wesley Dobbs Ave, Ste 100, Atlanta, GA 30312
Phone: 404-524-5054
Website: http://condesacoffee.com/
Condesa is also a contender for the best coffee. Great customer services, pastries from Alon's market, and free board games. You can also get cocktails, beers and wines like Octane. It's just too far away from me...
