Our Story

SushiYOKO has served authentic Japanese food in metro Atlanta since 1996. The same hands that run the restaurant also run Tomato2, our Japanese grocery. One kitchen, two ways to eat well.

Everyday Japanese food, done properly

SushiYOKO is the honest Japanese cooking you'd find at a neighborhood spot back home. Tonkatsu, tempura, donburi bowls, udon, ramen, sushi, and lunch sets. Nothing fussy. Just good.

Lunch and dinner are walk-in, Tuesday through Sunday. Sit down, order, and let the kitchen take care of the rest.

Our first move, and a familiar address mix-up

This is the first time SushiYOKO has moved. When we opened in 1996, our address said Peachtree Corners, but the building actually sat inside the city of Norcross. Regulars called it the Peachtree Corners place, and we never minded.

The new location has the same quirk, just flipped. Our address reads Alpharetta, GA 30022, but we sit inside Roswell city limits, and we are part of the Roswell community, including Roswell Restaurant Week. So if you have seen us listed under Alpharetta, Roswell, or simply north of Atlanta, it is all the same SushiYOKO. To find us, use the Alpharetta address. That is the one on Google and on our socials.

The chef behind the counter

Chef Tomo has cooked Japanese food for more than 35 years, and opened SushiYOKO in 1996. He still comes in every morning to make the small dishes by hand. The care that goes into a lunch set at the counter is the same care that goes into a bento on the grocery shelf.

Next door, Tomato2 runs on its own: a Japanese grocery with a pantry worth digging through, and onigiri, bento, and sandos made fresh every morning.
