Scoutmob is pretty much determining where I am dining these days… Atlanta has such a great restaurant scene, and there are so many places to try – it can become a bit overwhelming. Thankfully, Scoutmob has easily solved that for me with their 50% off promotions. Easily.
Michelle + I both quickly grabbed the Scoutmob promotion for Nakato when it was offered up and few weeks ago, and we set a hot date for hibachi.
Nakato is a Japanese restaurant that’s been around for a while located on Cheshire Bridge close to Piedmont. Although it is surrounded by strip clubs and XXX stores, the restaurant is v. hard to miss with its traditional architecture and sculptured bushes.
When you walk into Nakato, you’ll find the sushi room directly in front of you. To your left, is the expansive hibachi room + private tatami rooms for groups.
Nakato’s hibachi is better than fair. I’ve been to hibachi restaurants in Atlanta where the chefs have had a bit more personality (i.e. Orient Express in Vinings – LOVE), but Nakato will do – especially with the 50% off Scoutmob…
Has anyone’s hair ever caught on fire? I couldn’t help but think about how many flammable products I put into mine before my date w/ Mich when this happened…
Mich ordered sushi, which we both thought was very fresh and well-priced. My hibachi was okay. It’s always a fun experience to do hibachi every so often (remember not to wear nice clothes – you reek afterwards), but I think I forgot exactly how much food it actually was going to end up being… I left the restaurant almost doubled over because I was so full. I really do need to work on my will power.
After our server processed the Scoutmob 50% off discount, our final bill was only $12 per person!! I couldn’t BELIEVE how cheap it was! Although the meal was just fine – nothing really to write home about, the discount made it totally worth it. So, for all you recessionistas who are in the mood for sushi or hibachi, grab the Scoutmob discount on your iPhone and head on over to Nakato. (If you don’t have the Scoutmob discount, though, I’d suggest driving to Orient Express, instead.)
