Set in a strip mall on Atlanta’s Buford Highway, Sushi Hayakawa has simple green walls, a smattering of tables, and a thick wooden sushi bar. Behind that bar is chef Atsushi Hayakawa, his signature red towel rolled around his head, slicing chunks of octopus he flew in from his native island of Hokkaido. This year, the James Beard Foundation nominated him for Best Chef in the Southeast, and if you want a front-row seat to the action, good luck. Reservations for his new omakase table are booked several weeks out. Sushi Hayakawa is a traditional sushiya, and if you wouldn’t find it in Japan, you won’t find it here. Still, there are plenty of crowd pleasers like thick-sliced fatty tuna nigiri served over warm rice with just a dot of potent wasabi.
