The Spot
Yuji sits on Auburn Avenue in Old Fourth Ward, part of Kinjo Enterprise, serving an omakase-leaning modern Japanese menu paired with sake, Japanese whiskey, and craft cocktails. A robata grill turns out dishes like Chilean sea bass marinated in yuzu and sake, thinly sliced kampachi with Hokkaido scallop, and an A5 Miyazaki wagyu beef roll with tempura asparagus and truffled soy. Black cod miso, yellowtail sashimi, and rock shrimp tempura round out the rest of the menu.

Lunch runs as a quieter, walk-in-friendly version of the menu with its own specials, while dinner moves at what the restaurant describes as a vinyl-paced rhythm. The location draws heavy foot traffic off the Beltline, and the sushi and cocktail program in particular have built a following among visitors and regulars alike.

The group extends beyond the main dining room: an open-air bar and patio at Junction Krog District serves as a second, more casual space, and Yuji Next Door offers a tighter menu with later hours. Private events range from a ten-seat sushi bar to full buyouts.
