A-Tan

A-Tan is a long running Poplar Avenue restaurant with an active sushi bar inside a broader Asian dining room. Sit near the bar for rolls, nigiri, or sashimi, then consider a cooked dish to understand how sushi fits within the restaurant's wider, enduring menu.

A-Tan combines a traditional Chinese dining room with a working sushi bar in Dillard Square. Focus on the Chinese side through soups, dumplings, vegetables, noodles, and familiar meat preparations served for sharing. The split identity is useful for mixed groups, but a coherent meal still comes from ordering several Chinese dishes together and letting rice, greens, and contrasting textures connect the table.
