DUNWOODY, Ga. — Cuddlefish has officially arrived at High Street, bringing a fresh twist to sushi dining in Central Perimeter. The restaurant, led by Michelin-starred chef Jason Liang, opened its doors on March 1, adding to the growing list of new businesses in this mixed-use development.
A New Culinary Destination at High Street
Located at 290 High Street, Cuddlefish is more than just another sushi spot. It offers a fusion of Japanese and Taiwanese flavors, setting itself apart from traditional sushi restaurants. The menu features handcrafted sushi rolls made with high-quality ingredients, alongside an interactive temaki tasting menu at the chef’s counter.
Diners can expect an immersive experience, with chefs preparing hand rolls right in front of them. The concept is simple yet refined—fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and an attention to detail that elevates the meal.
From the Team Behind Brush and Momonoki
Cuddlefish isn’t an isolated venture. It comes from the same James Beard-nominated team responsible for acclaimed Atlanta eateries Brush and Momonoki. Their reputation for quality and creativity in Japanese cuisine has made them a household name in the city’s dining scene.
Jason Liang and his team have consistently pushed boundaries with their culinary concepts. With Cuddlefish, they aim to make high-end sushi more approachable while maintaining the craftsmanship that defines their previous ventures.
High Street’s Growing Appeal
The High Street development is quickly becoming a hub for dining, retail, and residential living. Alongside Cuddlefish, recent additions include:
- The NOW Massage, which specializes in Swedish-inspired massages
- SkinSpirit, a leading provider of medical skincare treatments
- Sugarcoat, an upscale nail care boutique
Beyond retail, High Street is also home to over 400 residents and features Class A office spaces overlooking the event plaza. The area’s rapid growth reflects a broader trend of mixed-use developments catering to both residents and visitors.
More Than Just Sushi
While sushi takes center stage, Cuddlefish offers more. The specialty coffee and bakery section, overseen by ChingYao Wang, delivers artisanal pastries and expertly brewed coffee. It’s an unexpected but welcome addition, allowing guests to enjoy a full culinary experience beyond just sushi.
With its fusion of flavors, focus on quality, and unique dining experiences, Cuddlefish is set to become a favorite in Dunwoody’s dining landscape.
