Leonard Yu

Omakase Table's 12-seat counter creates one of Atlanta's most intimate dining experiences. Yu's direct relationship with Toyosu — Japan's largest wholesale fish market — means Atlanta diners access the same fish quality as Tokyo's top sushi restaurants. The restaurant represents Atlanta's growing appetite for authentic Japanese fine dining.

Leonard Yu is the chef-owner of Omakase Table in Atlanta's West Midtown, a 12-seat counter Michelin-starred restaurant (awarded 2024) serving multicourse traditional Japanese dining with fish sourced directly from Tokyo's Toyosu Fish Market. His cooking bridges traditional Japanese precision with an American market's appetite for authentic omakase.
