Cuddlefish: The Atlantan Titan of Temaki

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. This sentiment is typically attributed to the legendary High Renaissance artist and polymath, Leonardo Davinci, and is embodied by Cuddlefish’s modest Japanese-style decor. The architecture and ambiance imbue guests with a sense of tranquility to enhance the overall dining experience. Michelin-starred chef Jason Liang leads Cuddlefish’s team of hardworking and dedicated staff members. Located in Dunwoody, Cuddlefish contrasts its soothing and mellow layout with meticulously prepared handmade sushi. 

On Mondays and Tuesdays, Cuddlefish offers a first-come, first-served unlimited hand roll experience. Known as Temaki Takeover, guests have 90 minutes to enjoy all-you-can-eat temaki. Yellowtail, tuna, and salmon temaki are all available options. Delectable and inspired appetizers like Taiwanese chicken nuggets and umami edamame bisque are included in the choices for starters to the Temaki Takeover.

Cuddlefish is a bakery and a cafe as well as a restaurant. The bakery possesses a myriad of sweet and savory croissants for patrons seeking a snack or a dessert. The pastry selections change daily. Both classic and limited-time delicacies are cycled to increase incentive. Tantalizing tiramisu, mouth-watering matcha chocolate chip cookies, and captivating cheesecake scoops are also on the bakery’s menu. Cuddlefish has a far more niche menu than typical cafes, incorporating both Hōjicha tiramisu and matcha tiramisu lattes. Caffeine-free beverages like house blend herbal tea and loose-leaf options such as Taiwanese Osmanthus Oolong tea being featured is evidence of Cuddlefish’s commitment to truly being an authentic teahouse.

For those with a taste for temaki who can’t make it to Temaki Takeover on Monday or Tuesday, a temaki tasting course is offered any day of the week and provides some of the best temaki on the menu. The titillating temaki tasting course ends with a scrumptious mille feuille dessert temaki. Whether customers are in the mood to try a new cuisine at Temaki Takeover on a random Tuesday or relax with a familiar and comforting hot chocolate from the cafe, Cuddlefish has something for everyone.
