Food Review | The Cowfish Atlanta Burger Sushi Bar Wednesday 18 May, 2016
Kiwi The Foodie is back and here to give you one of the most innovative taste post I have done on my site. I got a chance to visit the newest trendy restaurant in Dunwoody (Atlanta) called The Cowfish, which is a one-of-a-kind dining experience, thriving on its ability to fuse two niche products seamlessly on the same menu. It is considered the first and only “Sushi Burger Bar“!
The Cowfish brings to the world the first restaurant focusing on offering both the best sushi AND the best burger in town. Fresh, innovative and delicious, the sushi segment of the menu is a unique balance of traditional and unconventional. All natural, creative and hearty, the burgers entice with fresh ingredients and bold flavors.
When you walk in you are welcomed with a bright interior featuring custom artwork and vibrant music, a digital saltwater aquarium filled with live cowfish with cute names such as Eel Eel Cool J, Fred Finstone, Eel-vis Presely, The Codfather, Bob Marlin, Dolly Sharkton, Tuna Turner and my favorite Ludafish!!! How creative is that…instantly I knew this place was super special!
Before you even eat, the ambiance gives off a contemporary pop art modern feel. They took many pop culture artwork and designs and turned them into Cowfish originals to be displayed in the restaurant. It definitely gave it a personality and it was fun to look at the different varieties of blown up art. The interior decor gave off good energy of what to expect in your meal.
Itsy Bitsy Tini-Weenie Fresh and Berry Great Martini- A skinny martini. Smirnoff Sorbet Light Pomegranate Raspberry Vodka, champagne, agave nectar, fresh raspberry, freshly squeezed lime
Big Al’s Yellowtail Slices of yellowtail sashimi topped with thinly sliced jalapeño pepper. Served with a side of ponzu dipping sauce
For starters, this was not my idea I will be honest as I am not a raw sushi eater. My friend was though and she loved it. Now I did sample this to be a good sport and it actually wasn’t bad – but again not my thing. If you are a raw sushi lover this would be a good appetizer. The jalapeno gave it an extra flavor!
Lobster & Crab Spring Rolls 13 Maine lobster, blue crab, Napa cabbage, ginger, bok choy and carrots with cilantro pesto, Thai chili sauce and spicy honey marmalade
The Cowfish I started to learn early they are big on presentation! Everything that comes out is a visual edible artwork! This Lobster & Crab Spring Rolls didnt just look good but tasted equally as amazing too! Great to share!
Sake Sampler Flight – Sample pours of four of our favorite sakes including Classic Junmai, Fuji Apple, Ty-Ku Black and Silky Mild
If you are a sake novice (like me) then doing this Sake Flight Sample would be ideal. I tried 4 different ones, but the one that made me an instant fan was the Fuji Apple Sake. It was so smooth, clear and tasted like fresh apple water. I am order an entire craft of this the next visit I have here. Trust me on this – get a Fuji Apple Sake!
{Left} Mad Mango-Cado Roll – Shrimp tempura, kani inside, coated with tempura flakes. Topped with mango, avocado and sweet eel sauce. Served with a side of spicy mayo {Right} Tropical Storm Roll -Kani, avocado and cucumber inside, topped with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, Japanese mayo, sweet eel sauce, sriracha and multi-colored tobiko. Served with wasabi yuzu dipping sauce
Tropical Storm Roll is unique because it has fish eggs on top with different flavors inflused such as wasabi, sriracha, citrus flavors that is only presented at Cowfish.
The Cowfish Bento Box 14 A combo meal featuring both burger and sushi, including a mini-burger with American cheese, pickles and chopped red onion, sweet potato fries, Thai cucumbers, edamame and choice of a 4 piece sushi roll (California, Spicy Tuna, Vegetarian or Philly Roll)
This is when the food gets crafty. If you know anything about Asian bento boxes, well this is a box with the Cowfish flair. Burger and sushi style. It was amazing! I would suggest this as a cute lunch option. Everything was good but the fried pickles with the burger was amazing. Now I opted out of the edamame and replaced it with thai cucumbers it was amazing. Give me more Thai cucumbers! You definitely get your American and Asian craving fix all at once here!
The All-American Bacon Double Cheeseburgooshi is what you should come here for! It will change your life! If you like burgers and you like sushi…ta da your dream will come true in this unique fusion dish. It’s considered a Cowfish original “burgushi” roll and this is their famous one. Trust me — if you don’t know what else to order – get this one of a kind roll! I know for a fact this will be a favorite of mine each time I visit.
The All-American Bacon Double Cheeseburgooshi 14 Seasoned Certified Angus Beef, yellow cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese, applewood bacon, and red onion, wrapped in soy paper and potato strings then flash fried. Topped with ketchup, mustard, dill pickle and Roma tomato. Served atop Cowfish sauce. Served with house seasoned fries
The Nature Boy’s WOOOOO-shi BuffalOOOOO-shi Roll 17 Sautéed chipotle bison, fried green tomato, grilled onions, feta cheese inside, coated with tempura flakes. Topped with fresh green tomato, chipotle aioli, diced tomato, red onion, jalapeño pepper
The Nature Boy’s WOOOOO-shi BuffalOOOOO-shi Roll is another Cowfish original burgushi roll. These burger sushi combo rolls are nothing short of delicious and innovative. Again another must try! Your taste buds will be shocked with this combo of flavors of this sushi burger roll!
Apple Pie “Wontons” 7 Fresh wontons wrapped around homemade apple pie filling and flash fried. Served with sweet caramel cream dipping sauce and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream
Cowfish still have more options up their sleeves. Even their dessert are fusion style! How about an Apple Pie mixed with Wontons! This Apple Pie Wonton with Vanilla Ice cream literally made me want to scream in joy. It was so good…presentation again was gorgeous but I am so happy I made room for this dessert! This is once again a Cowfish original.
I ended my night with Cowfish with a shake to go! They have amazing variety of shakes that also can have spiked hand-spun shake versions! Since I was going home I just got a regular premium shake…this is the Smore Shake. It is exactly what it is – a smore in a shake. Definitely wanted smore…and more and more!
I had so much fun at The Cowfish experience in Atlanta. I didnt just enjoy the food, but the presentation, the ambiance and especially the service. Service is so important and all of the staff was so accommodating and friendly. They pride themselves as not just having a restaurant but making it a lifestyle of comfort for each visit. This is definitely a fun trendy hangout spot to eat with friends and socialize! I’m sold I will be a regular here – the entire experience as a collective is making me an instant fan.

I love the ambience, great shots! And I don’t really like sushi that much but I’d like to have an eternity’s supply of that Apple Pie “Wontons” please.
Can you believe I’ve never tried sushi before? After seeing all of your photos and how amazing it looks, I need to break out of my box and try it soon. I go to Atlanta a few times a year and will check out this sushi bar on my next trip.
Oh my goodness! I would love this place! The Bento Box #14 (I think) is adorable and the sushi with the cheeseburger in it… I would be all over that! Thanks for the review!
Kiwi I am so curious to try that place I have never heard of a sushi burger joint and from the pics alone it looks so delish! Hope I get to eat there soon!
I love the art and the food looks great too. It is a good place for people who want sushi that have a member of their party that doesn’t like it. I visit Atlanta a few times a year and I’ll put this on our list to try.
WOAH! This place looks awesome. hahah i love the portraits on the wall. So viby
EPIC pics, they def show of the place in the best possible light.
Do you think they have one in South Africa?
We ate at Cowfish in Florida during our last visit and loved it. The food was delicious and the service was great. I can’t wait to go back and try the Bacon Double Cheeseburgooshi, they look amazing!
WE are huge sushi fans! We had a place we loved in Texas, but now we are back to not having any place. We will have to try this out when we are in the area!
I love the looks of the place! My friends would die to go there. I hate sea food so I’d be on the fence although I know there’s diversity. Thanks for the review.
I’ve never heard of a sushi/burger place. I have heard of burger/wine places before. But I adore sushi so I’d definitely check it out – the rolls look AMAZE!
This sounds like my type of place. I love me a good burger and quality sushi. I love the decor and the fish names are so freaking cute. I’m adding this to my ATL list.

That restaurant looks amazing. I have to say, I’m drawn to it for the atmosphere almost as much as the food.
All of the food looks amazing. They have one about an hour from me and I have been wanting to try it.
That food looks incredible. The sushi is awfully tempting. My husband would absolutely murder those burgers.
I’ll be looking this one up – such a cool mix of food, and I love the artwork – hilarious, intriguing.
I ate at the one in Orlando, I love the choices here! My whole family enjoyed their food, now you make me want to go back again!

We live 2 hours away from ATL and always go because our parents live there. I am pinning this so I can remember to go there!
Interesting fusion of foods. I love the decor almost as much as I love sushi.
Now I am not usually one for Sushi but the presentation is killer. A far cry from Yo Sushi that is for sure!
My family is a huge fan of sushi. All the food you featured made me hungry (again!).
Food and drinks look amazing!I would love to have a restaurant like that near me! Yummy!

Burgers AND sushi?! It’s like they made the perfect placefo r my husband and I to go!
That’s suck a unique idea! That food looks delicious. I’m putting this place on my bucket list!
This looks like a fab fun restaurant. I can’t partake in the sushi but the burgers and that Martini, I’d have to try.
Your food looks interesting. I don’t like seafood or fish so it’s nice that they have other options.
What an interesting restaurant concept! I love the idea of an apple wonton for dessert.
The food looks good. I like the martini, and the lobster spring rolls look amazing. I definitely have to try this place one day.
