If you plan on going during busy hours then treat it as a bar and not a place you're going because you're hungry. Eventually people will learn not to go to a trendy sushi bar during the rush hours for the sole reason of consuming food, you WILL have to wait for it then you feel rushed eating and it takes away from the experience. Order food, get a couple drinks, and enjoy the atmosphere...if you don't meet somebody or chill with another group then you're just a hermit anyways.
If you're with a small group or as a couple then sit at the bar in front of the glass and service is normally on point. It's all right there in front of you and if you ask about an item they will most likely let you try it. You'll still have to wait to get a seat but your food will come faster than at a table.
For the atmosphere Ru Sans in Buckhead wins hands down, i've been going there at least 5-6 years. I've been to 3 of their others multiple times and was not impressed one bit, they remind me of Chinese buffet restaurants that happen to serve sushi. If I wanted that serene atmosphere then I'd go to a real Japanese sushi restaurant and pay just a little more.
