Kang Nam

This is my new favorite Japanese restaurant. The food, the service, the atmosphere was phenomenal. I had the seaweed salad, steam dumplings, dragon role, and monster roll. Portions and flavor were great. Dish was fresh and rolls were great size. I will definitely be coming back. This is a hidden gem.

We had a wonderful experience! It was 5 of us and we were seated in a nice private space! Eric our waiter was so nice! He was fast and prepared! We had our 3 year old wiith us so Eric brought him some treats! The food! Amazing!big portions and full of flavor! We will be back soon! The chef was so kind he came out to greet everyone! Great experience we will be back!

This is the best Japanese restaurant in Georgia, let alone, metro-Atlanta! The sushi and sashimi are fresh and everything is well-cooked. The staff are very considerate about what you want. My parents wanted a whole meal for 2 not spicy at all, and the waiter was happily able to make substitutions and let the kitchen staff know of our needs.
They had forgotten one of the sushi rolls we ordered. When we let them know, they were very respectful and kind about it. Though I guess we can say that the food was so good, we almost forgot about it.
Quick Tip: Be sure to let the waiter/waitress know that you filled out the sushi order form.
The only concern I have is for the staff to ask about potential allergies. When we had received our banchan, we were given a dish with peanuts, so that made my family and I hesitant to try any of the yummy food since most of us are allergic to peanuts. Nevertheless, we left that dish alone, everything else was great, especially the pumpkin porridge and sushi. The kalbi hit so good too. I’ve never tasted kalbi that good outside of Asia.
PLEASE NEVER CLOSE DOWN OR CHANGE KANG NAM! YOU ARE LOVED!!!

This place is such a gem!! I am pleasantly surprised by the high quality food and plethora of delicious side dishes, the price is very reasonable as well. Atmosphere and service quality are also top notch. Will definitely be coming back again!

As always, Kang Nam has the absolute best sushi, presentation, friendliness, service, and staff!
There are so many sushi options - we try at least one new roll every time we go but the Mango is our favorite!

10/10 ⭐

I was blown away. The food was phenomenal. I got the #1 lunch special and it was so much food. The salmon and tuna were both amazing. Tried some fatty tuna and it was heaven. Melted in my mouth. It got very busy on a Saturday. We got there right when it opened and man was I impressed. Wish I could go back right now

Been coming here for 10 years and I absolutely love it! This time I got the Shrimp Tempura roll and Volcano roll. My new favorite is now the Volcano. Very good! The only negative would be their "tea" it's served in an IKEA glass instead of tea pot and taste like burnt coffee water... So bad... They also have a variety of non sushi options- udon, fried rice...

Kang Nam Japanese is undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Atlanta, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating from me, the highest possible. Their food is exceptional, but allow me to share a personal experience before delving into their culinary delights.

On a recent Monday evening, I dined at Kang Nam and accidentally left my shoulder bag, which contained a luxury brand purse, behind. The realization struck me on Tuesday afternoon. After searching everywhere at home and in my car to no avail, I called Kang Nam in a last-ditch effort. To my immense relief, they informed me that they had safely kept my bag. This was more than just finding lost items; it was about recovering my ID, student card, library card, shopping cards, and crucial credit cards, including irreplaceable foreign ones. Their honesty and professionalism deserve more than just stars – they deserve immense gratitude.

Now, about their food: Kang Nam's portions are incredibly generous. We ordered abundantly, yet couldn't finish everything.

First, their dinner combo featured some of the freshest sashimi in the Atlanta area at a comparable price. In cities like New York, such a sashimi dish alone might cost around $45. The sushi combo is substantial enough to satisfy two people, especially if they've had a late lunch.

Second, their Chicken Don is a must-try. What sets it apart is its unique sauce, creating a comforting, homely flavor reminiscent of "meat over rice" dishes or the Chinese "Ban Fan (拌饭)." We couldn't finish it in one sitting, and it generously served as lunch for me and my husband the next day.

Third, the Spicy Tuna Sandwich was a novel experience. Imagine a sandwich with a crispy, fried exterior made of bread or cracker crumbs. It's not only delicious but also hard to find in other restaurants.

Lastly, the Gyeranjjim (Korean Steamed Eggs) was exceptional. Larger in portion than what other restaurants offer, it was silky and flavorsome, making it a must-order for me at Kang Nam.

In summary, Kang Nam Japanese doesn't just impress with its food; their service and integrity are equally commendable.

Attentive, courteous, and efficient service. It was a busy lunch, but the staff worked together. The experience took 30 min. Excellent price point! I will visit more often! Right on Buford Hwy NE. Lunch special - Sushi Box pictured/do. (Free Ice cream at the end.) Thank you!!!

Had a fantastic lunch here the other day. The tuna, salmon, and yellowtail sashimi were incredibly fresh and the udon was comforting with awesome fat chewy noodles. The bbq eel was tender and super flavorful, and the rolls we got were packed with fresh fish and just great.

The sashimi box lunch combo was $22 and came with a ton of high quality food. Definitely enough to be full and well satisfied. Service was great and very attentive!

We had a party of 3 for dinner at 7 pm on Saturday, 9/8/23. Service was great. Everyone made us feel so welcome. Sushi was delicious. The presentation on the boat was a definite bonus! The banchan was good—I liked the peanuts in particular.

The sushi came with soup and salad, which was really nice! Here’s what we got:
- Perfect Roll ($12.99): Good!
- Samurai Roll ($11.99): I think this was my favorite!
- Alaska Roll ($9.99): Straight mayo on top. Not my favorite.
- Spicy Tuna Sandwich Roll ($9.99): So fun and different!
- Yami Yami Roll ($12.99): Baked and very saucy.

The rolls were so cheap, compared to other sushi restaurants in the area, and the food was good! The prices and the service made this 5 stars. I would definitely go back!

This place is amazing. A hidden gem! Prices are awesome, food is fresh, and service is very welcoming. My new sushi spot

First time here but my father had picked up food here before for take out and recommended we give it a try. Immediately upon arrival we were greeted by one of the chefs and it was such a simple, cozy looking restaurant.

We arrived during lunch and at first the place looks small and packed, but they had seats hidden in the back as well which shows that there’s more than meets the eye.

If you go during lunch, then you have to get the bento box! It comes with extra sides prior to receiving your bento box (like soup, kimchi, noodles, and other items). My father got the galbi box which is the prime beef short rib while I got two sushi rolls. Both were huge portions and well worth the price. I will definitely order one of the bento boxes for my next visit!

Our only issue was since we were tucked in a hidden room in the back, we didn’t get as much service but when the server would come to the table they were attentive and the food arrived at a timely manner. A definite must visit if you’re in the Buford Hwy area (Doraville).

Fresh lobster and salads!! I strongly recommend it! They serve free ice cream in the end!

we went and it was amazing from beginning to end! we were able to reserve a table last minute- normally we try to go on fridays but it can be a bit busy so book a table on google! The food was amazing and the complimentary salad and soup was a pleasant surprise. everyone was so nice and checked on us throughout our meal. we never waited long for anything and the price was worth it!

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The entire experience was outstanding. The customer service and atmosphere were excellent, but the food was superb! You will not be disappointed if you visit this restaurant.

Satisfied quality of sushi &sashimi combination. Good service for a carry out order. I will try dinning at the restaurant.

One of the best little restaurants. An unassuming exterior hides this gem. The inside is warm and welcoming with excellent, attentive service. The sushi is expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The taste is extraordinarily delicious.

Everything we had today was fantastic!! Best steamed dumplings I’ve ever had! Sushi rolls were super fresh, delicious and well made! Udon noodle soup was great. Korean vegetable pancakes were delicious, light and not greasy or chewy! We will be back! Thank you so much!

Came here on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner. We were promptly seated at our 6pm reservation. Ordered the VIP sashimi and boy are we glad we did! It came with a crazy amount of side courses (see photos) and it was all good! I recommend this place for a special occasion or even a weekday lunch. Since 1970!
