Enzo Sushi & Japanese Hibachi, Suwanee

Behind their bar at Enzo Sushi & Japanese Hibachi, sushi chefs concern themselves with just one thing: crafting the perfect marriage of rice, fish, and seaweed. This single-minded dedication is reflected in their vast menu, whose wide variety of fresh fish, vegetables, and sauces underscores the quiet depth of the traditional Japanese dish. Try the caterpillar rolls, which mingle cooked eel, cucumber, and cream cheese, or taste the first lady rolls stuffed with shrimp tempura and avocado and topped with a melange of fish and fruit.

As sushi chefs busy themselves with rolls and nigiri, hibachi cooks inside the kitchen apply the same dedication to hot meals. Their menu includes classic dishes such as chicken teriyaki, but also makes room for some unexpected treats; the tender strips of beef in their bulgogi sing with the flavors of Korean-style marinade, and their deep-fried chicken katsu pairs a satisfying crunch with the complex flavors of its accompanying dipping sauce.
