404-687-8822 | | | | | Description: DECATUR. Quietly elegant, this Asian fusion restaurant surrounds guests with soft lighting, wispy curtains, and exposed brick. It's a melange of effects in perfect keeping with the cuisine. Fresh, light flavors are standard, and a touch of spice is not unknown to the kitchen. Roasted duck breast is dressed with soy syrup and Thai basil puree, and crispy coconut prawns get a kick from a fragrant curry sauce. Seafood is prevalent, although you'll find chicken, squab, pork, lamb, and rabbit available as well. Delicious and reasonably priced.

Perfectly composed morsels are beautiful, fashioned from premium seafood, and are exemplary models of the genre. Fresh wasabi, terrific sakes, and knowledgeable servers up the ante on quality. Crafting the sushi does take time, so be prepared for some anticipation.
