Our staff reviews some of their favorite local eatieries.

Bishoku 

One restaurant I love is Bishoku. This sushi restaurant is the best in Sandy Springs. When you walk in you get to see the chefs that always have the best attitude. The chefs like to say hi and socialize with their customers. All the employs are very comfortable and calm in their workplace. 

My parents and I know the owner, Jackie, and she always knows how to create conversation with us. One of my favorite dishes from there is the California rolls. Yes, it may be basic, but it is one of my favorites. They have the perfect amount of everything in it and when I’m craving it, it always hits. The Jackie roll is also a fan favorite you can only find at Bishoku. It has caviar on top and tastes delicious.  

If you’re not feeling sushi, they have plenty of other options. The miso soup is a good starter and is rumored to help you feel better if you’re sick. It can also help fill you up before your main course so that you don’t eat as much. A garden salad is an option as well, this comes with a delicious dressing and is great to have in the summertime, instead of soup. Bishoku is overall one of my favorite restaurants to go to when I can.

Enzo Buffet

The Enzo buffets. I like this buffet a lot it is one of my favorite places to eat the moment you walk in you smell mouth watery scents and you are greeted very nicely, the building is very nicely put and simply calming  and they have so many varieties of cuisines from Asia but not only from Asia  Enzo has so much the selection is incredible and very interesting and diverse recipes the atmosphere is very inviting is definitely a buffet experience you must try. 

One of the dishes that people absolutely love is the grilled salmon. It perfectly melts in your mouth with beautifully seasoned and tender at first, I didn’t think I would like it at first but when I tried it was spectacular. If you’re a sea food lover, you would love this place another customer favorite is the prime ribs for someone who love ribs I already knew I was going to like it the ribs are cooked perfectly it falls right off the bone one thing I liked more is the different versions of sushi and some were savory and some were very spicey.  

Enzo is a very nice place to eat and has such a good mood with family spend time with friends or even your lovers it has many varieties of foods and meats not just from Asia this place is by far a good buffet. 

Jinya

Jinya is a restaurant located in Atlanta. Jinya is my favorite restaurant in the area. They serve Thai food and I’m a sucker for a good rice bowl. I always go to jinya on birthdays and special events. The interior of jinya is also very nice. They’ve recently added extra space for seating, which was much needed. The place is a delight to eat at and the food is even better. 

My favorite dish is the rice bowl. Rice bowls that have chicken and veggies are so yummy. Jinya makes chicken chashu, but they make it in a sauce that tastes sooooo good. The bowl is called the chicken chashu bowl and it is topped with mushrooms, half a boiled egg, chicken chashu, and greens. The base is just white rice with a very delicious sauce. I don’t know what the sauce is called but it just makes the bowl. Jinya also serves edamame for appetizers. The edamame is topped with salt, and you can order it with a special sauce for extra flavor. 

The only thing I’ll say about Jinya is that they take a long time to make your food and don’t always get it right. This only happens if you get takeout, but it’s still an annoying problem you wouldn’t want to deal with while ordering out. To say the least Jinya is a great option for a nice dinner out with their fine dining and excellent chefs, you’ll have a great time.

Lindo

There is this Mexican Lindo restaurant that is by my father’s house, and it must be by far one of the best restaurants I have ever been too and that is no lie. I go there every weekend or every other weekend because of how good the food is. I cannot even get enough of how convenient it is and it is just a quick 10-15 minutes just to pick up some delicious food.  

Every time I go there always get 2-3 things, I get the 2-adult grilled chicken quesadilla with vegetables inside, with chips and salsa on the side, and 5 lemon pepper wings. Just thinking about the juiciness of the chicken mixed with the queso cheese and the crunchy vegetables is enough to make you drool a little and make your stomach growl wherever you are.  

The customer service is always amazing whenever we go there, even when it is packed with customers, which is most of the time we go. They are so friendly and helpful it makes the experience 10x better. And they are also located right across from a shopping plaza so right when you are done shopping you can come sit down and have some warm tasty Mexican foods.

Vintage Pizzaria

One of my favorite restaurants is Vintage pizzeria. intage pizzeria is located in Dunwoody village. I like vintage pizzeria not just because of  the food but also because of the ambiance. The workers are very friendly and always seem happy to help. Vintage pizzeria is also a great place for families with children because they have a wall with a chalkboard where kids can draw while they wait for their food. Vintage pizzeria also has outdoor seating which i enjoy when the weather is nice. 

I like to go to vintage pizzeria with my friends and family. Vintage pizzeria is a great place to go to with friends because they have a widespread variety of affordable options. The menus are also easy to read because they have all the prices and descriptions of what is in each dish. It is also very easy to share or split food because the workers are flexible. They also have multiple event rooms for larger parties and celebrations. 

When I go to Vintage pizzeria i usually order a Ceaser salad and a regualr cheese pizza that I share with whoever I’m with. The Ceaser salad is just romaine lettuce, croutons, and dressing. The croutons aren’t just normal croutons, they have a seasoning blend which I personally feel makes the whole salad taste better. Then for the pizza I normally get just cheese. The crust is always cooked perfectly, never to soft but never too crispy. The sauce and cheese blend well with the crust and overall the pizza is cheesy soft and warm.
