O by Brush vs Omakase Table
Atlanta's two omakase counters: O by Brush holds two Michelin stars, Omakase Table holds one. Book O by Brush for the occasion, Omakase Table for value.
The Verdict
O by Brush is the higher-ranked of Atlanta's two omakase counters. Chef Jason Liang, a James Beard nominee, runs a roughly twenty-course tasting at about $285 a head, and the room moved up to two Michelin stars in the 2026 Georgia guide after taking its first star in 2024. The cooking is precise, modern Edomae with a longer, more composed arc than most American sushi counters, and the wine and sake pairings run from $155 to a $295 premium flight. It scores 9.5 for food, 9 for the room and 8.4 for value.
Omakase Table is the more traditional seat. Chef Leonard Yu sources fish directly from Tokyo's Toyosu market and serves a tighter ten-to-twelve-course Edomae menu to a twelve-seat counter, around $150 to $180 a head, and the room holds one Michelin star from the 2024 guide. The style leans classic where O by Brush leans composed, and the lower price and shorter run make it the easier weeknight booking of the two. It scores 9.5 for food, 9.2 for the room and 8.4 for value.

Price and How to Book

Both score 9.5 for food in our review, so the extra spend at O by Brush buys the longer arc and the second star rather than better fish.
