Review of Gekko Sushi

Having recently gone to Japan and being an avid eater on Buford Highway, this place does not compare. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. I got the Tonkatsu Ramen which was lackluster in flavor. The egg was hardboiled rather than the traditionally marinated softboiled egg. It claimed to have seaweed, but none existed in my Ramen. I did get some fried tofu thing for an appetizer which was great, but too expensive for what was delivered. It was about $7 for about 5 pieces of fried tofu the size of your thumb fingernail. The table next to me had some tasty looking sushi, and it looked pretty good. So did my Ramen though... The atmosphere of the place was nice. It was kind of industrial/modern with a nice sushi bar in the center and some big flat screen TV's. I would go again if my friends wanted to go, but if I were to choose the restaurant, I'd probably not select it.
