My friends & I visited this place and the service started out okay. Our server was new and we all understood that. We ordered our food, ate, paid & left a tip and started walking towards the door. The manager came running after us inquiring on why we didn't leave a larger tip. I've never been run down about any tip I've left at a restaurant before. That is VERY unprofessional and I hope they never do that to another customer.
We went there on Wednesday night and as another comment said we were greeted with an attitude! The restaurant was pretty empty. We ordered entrees and they come with Miso Soup and Salad; we had the salads and then entrees and couple of minutes later we got the soups (which I asked to replace it with a salad because it was too late for a soup for me)! We thought the food was so good only to get home and few hours later to have food poising!
Not going back!
Gekko is conveniently located and offered customer parking which was nice. I unfortunately found the service lacking. Upon walking in we were told to sit anywhere you'd like, only to then be told to move elsewhere, no big deal. However, the restaurant was empty so I didn't understand the logic. The role that i ordered did not contain the ingredients listed in the menu. When I inquired, they brought some out on the side. Was I supposed to deconstruct my role and add the missing ingredients? I was confused. An offer to remake the role was never extended. Not the best experience and it is one that does not warrant a return visit.
I'll try again because I've only been once and it could have been an off day. But I sat at the sushi bar and was brought a menu and a water. No one came back. Eventually the sushi chef asked me if I wanted to go ahead and get something. I ordered some nigiri and a roll. I wanted soup and some sake, but figured he wouldn't be the person I would order with so I just drank my water.
That being said, the sushi was really, really good. Extremely good. 5 stars for the food.
Maybe I just didn't know what I was doing? I'll go again, but I'll sit at a table to make sure I get service.
Awesome sushi awesome saki great service. Can't go wrong.
Gekko is a long time favorite and a regular haunt. To date, Gekko is the best moderately priced sushi we've found in Atlanta - and we've tried a lot of sushi places. There are certainly fancier places in Atlanta with arguably better sushi for a lot more money, but for the price, Gekko is excellent. Fish is always fresh and delicious. The specialty rolls are creative and and thoughtful, even if far too many of them involve cream cheese - which is kind of hideous. Fortunately they are more than happy to leave off the cheese if you ask and the result is generally superb. The ambiance is a little warehouse-y but with some cheerful Japanese accents to brighten things up and the service is almost always excellent.
It's rare that I go somewhere and I'm like it's ok. That's how I would describe this place, it's okay
Very good. Great service. Food is excellent. Great Sake selection. Definitely worth it.
Food was quality at a very reasonable price. The atmosphere was modern and casual, making for a good dinner date night. Service was a little slow due to a low number of servers working, but our waitress was still present and helped when needed.
