Chef
Chef/Owner Tony Wang, after completing a three year culinary tutelage in the art of sushi
under Chef Yamatason, one of Japans most highly decorated sushi chefs, earned recognition
as a master sushi chef himself. On his return to the U.S. he enjoyed over a decade of success
with his previous concept in Peachtree City . Rise Sushi Lounge, his latest venture, is the
perfect setting to showcase Chef Wang’s immense skills allowing locals access to authentic
Japanese sushi which can be found in no other Atlanta establishments.
Design
Designed by Jay George, one of Atlanta’s premier architects, Rise Sushi Lounge offers cutting
edge design while preserving the historic feel of this 1920’s destination. When walking into
the restaurant, guests will be awed by the backlit gossamer curtains over painted natural brick
walls. Warm dark wood tables and furnishings upholstered in rich fabric offer both elegance and
comfort. With 360 degree seating surrounding a stone topped sushi counter and full service bar,
guests can watch the action unfold in front of them. The dining room and lounge, which seat
approximately 120, surround this haven of activity and face an open kitchen. Hardwood floors
throughout and modern fabric lighting emit a soft glow to complete this casual upscale venue.
