Decided to head to Alpharetta for a late Friday night dinner. Sushi sounded good and Lily got great reviews, so off we went! No reservations, which I would recommend, but there were two seats at the bar, yay! We were quickly given a couple really beautiful and classy table settings. The cocktails looked so good and right up our alley, modern and not too sweet. I got the White Cloud..egg whites in drinks always intrigue me. My BF got the Sake Mojito. The bartender was so nice and fun to watch. Our drinks were outstanding! We ordered a couple of apps and a couple of rolls; the baby octopus, tuna tartare, the skinny roll, and the fatty tuna roll (recommended by the bartender). The tuna tartare was a showstopper! So many different flavors on the plate made this simple dish a disco for the senses, visually as well: the thin sliced seaweed on top, the quail egg, a little spicy sauce with sesame oil on the side, and of course the tuna, genius. It was a little difficult to share with chopsticks and we ended asking for a fork. The baby octopus were good, too. The skinny roll was perfect, flavorful and I loved the ponzu sauce with it. The fatty tuna roll was not what I expected. I assumed it would be simple, whole cut fish, but I think it was slightly ground tuna in a light oil or mayo sauce. It was good, but not my usual taste. Overall, a really wonderful experience! The only reason I'm not giving 4 stars is, and I hate that I'm doing this, is because of the prices. I'm not one to be stingy and I'm not looking for a giant plate of food, but it was a little more than I like to pay for what we got. We decided against wine because the markup on the wines by the glass were a little crazy. $25/glass for the Prisoner. Dude. Admittedly, it's probably not going to keep us from going back and I still highly recommend Lily's!
I came in on a Tuesday lunch, expecting it to be somewhat slow, but it was PACKED. I could only get a seat at the counter.I ordered the chef special sashimi, with 15 pieces (seen in picture) for $27. I was originally a bit put off by the time it took to get my food, but that completely disappeared when I saw it. Immaculate presentation, and the restaurant was packed too. Everything was absolutely delicious. Easily one of the 5 best sashimi I've had in North America, and I've traveled to Hawaii, CA, Vancouver, Washington, etc.Miso soup was only OK, water tasted like unfiltered tap. If I lived closer, I would be here every week.
This place has the best sushi in Atlanta. The fish is fresh and the signature nigiri is amazing! We have tried various places and this is the best spot! Definitely recommend it and make a reservation as they are very busy!
? Such a cute restaurant! Loved the vibe and decor. Of course the food is the most important aspect, everything excellent. They have some lunch specials that are an excellent value along with delicious specialty rolls.? FAVORITE ROLL: KYOTO ROLL ?? My only suggestion is that servers focus on being friendly…its such a big aspect of southern culture to be nice. To be fair there was only 1 female server we interacted with that had a bit of an undertone of attitude or snark. I suspect she is excellent at her job other than the customer service piece that can either heighten ? or dull ? the experience of eating out.❤️ To end on a high note, loved how immaculate, cute and functional the bathroom is. Having a little area to change a baby ? if needed is such a nice touch!
Great quality of sushi, flavors, and customer service. We will definitely go back!!
It's the best sushi place I've ever been to. I've been here multiple times now, and every experience is wonderful. The drinks are delicious, and the food is spot on. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. This is the kind of place you want to share with other sushi lovers. Everything comes out so delicately put together for your viewing and tasting pleasure. The staff are always spot on, and my cups are always full, and my finished plates are removed. They are always polite and welcoming. I wish I had taken more pictures; it was hard because I was enjoying everything so much. Thank you for being my sushi spot.
This restaurant has become one our favorite restaurants period!! The most amazing sushi, super fresh, amazing staff too. The waiters recommendations are spot every time. Everything has been AMAZING I cannot say enough good things about Lily Sushi.
The sushi at Lily is some of the best in the Atlanta area. Super fresh and the highest quality. The seating is fairly limited, so I would recommend calling ahead to reserve a table.
