For our first adventure, we influenced a brave group of friends to stray from the usual Brookhaven restaurants and try some “Buford Highway Cuisine”. We ventured up to Shoya, a Japanese restaurant close to Brandsmart. (http://www.shoyaatlanta.com/).
The menu is huge, as well as difficult to digest. Our server was not as forthcoming with the recommendations as we would’ve liked – it may have been the language barrier. We decided to try a bunch of different things. It was very easy to order more, as any time you needed anything, all you had to do was press the buzzer in the middle of the table. The waiter would be at our table within 30 seconds. And of course we ordered plenty of Sapporo and Sake.
Lesson learned for next time – write down the best and worst tasting items so we know what to order next time. Enjoy the pictures of the food for now. As an fyi – this is one of the more affordable places to dine with a group. With all the beer and food we ordered, our total was less than $25 per person. At the end of our trip to Shoya, everyone was pleasantly surprised with the experience and tastes.
More to come…
