Chinese, sushi and hibachi under one roof

Asian taste in Atlanta

The Orient

The Orient brings three kitchens under one roof in Atlanta. A Chinese kitchen, a sushi bar and a room of teppanyaki grills, each with its own cooks and its own repertoire, and one dining room where a single table can order from all three. That is why no two visits here look quite the same.

Three kitchens, one table

Order dumplings and Mongolian beef from the Chinese menu, nigiri cut to order at the sushi bar, or take a hibachi table and watch dinner cooked in front of you. None of it is a separate restaurant with a separate booking. It is one menu, one room and one bill.

The simplicity of Japanese cuisine is what makes it so elegant. It’s about using the best ingredients and bringing out their natural flavors.

Seasonal

In season, or not at all

Produce that is used out of season will always leave you wanting. So the menu follows what is good right now, and what is not good right now waits until it is. It is the least glamorous decision a kitchen makes and the one you taste first.

The room

Where you will sit

Velvet armchairs and marble-topped tables in the main dining room. A bar lit blue after dark, hibachi tables along the windows, and a patio of fire tables and wicker chairs beside the garden pond. Come for lunch and it is one room; come at night and it is another.
