“👏Exceptional food and service. My daughters Grad party was definitely a hit and Hood Hibachi helped to make it a hit. BEST Hibachi in the CITY hands down. Book Him! #professional #goodeats #yummy💓“

“I really liked the cowboy roll like wow, but my salmon sushi wasn't that good but that was cause it just had to much mayonnaise and it was super soggy so don't get the smoked salmon creek. But other than that everything was amazing“

“Food good service excellent Adam made it special! I'm pretty sure we'll try it again“

“Sushi is fantastic, as well as the fried rice. Always fresh and delicious. Great people working at and operating the business“

“So I planned a last minute birthday dinner for my husband. I stopped by Monday and asked if they could seat about 30 people and they happily said yes! (We had more than that show up and they accommodate us! My mother n law and sister in law got there before us to decorate and the restaurant had all tables moved to seat us all together and already had chips and salsa on the tables! Everything was amazing!!! My husband thought we were just meeting his parents for dinner. So they were sitting up front waiting for us to arrive and the restaurant played along too asking us how many and taking us to the table! My husband had no idea! He couldn’t see anyone! Everyone was seated behind the wall in the front entrance! Everyone who was working was absolutely amazing! Smiling and kind!! They did a great job taking orders, getting food out to us very quickly and taking care of everything we needed! Even putting our desserts in the fridge for us to lighting the candles singing happy birthday and even signing his number 40! It was just an amazing experience! I highly recommend them! Thank y’all for being awesome ❤️“

“First time at this spot with two friends on a busy Friday evening—waited about 10 minutes for a table. The place was packed, and while the decor felt a bit overdone and not quite my aesthetic, we were excited to try the food.

Started with some warm sake (which was great), though service was noticeably slow. We ordered grilled squid as an appetizer—chewy, flavorful, and definitely a highlight. I also tried their clear broth soup. As a big fan of light, comforting soups, I really enjoyed it, though the mild seaweed/fishy aroma wasn’t my favorite part.

For mains, we went with a few sushi rolls. I took a recommendation from our server and got a roll with crispy shrimp—huge portion and really tasty. My friends ordered a couple of other rolls and we shared everything. All the sushi was good, but nothing that stood out as extraordinary.

Overall, it’s a decent spot if you’re nearby and craving sushi, but it felt pretty standard. Not bad by any means—just not a place I’d be rushing back to.“

“Loved everything I've ever ordered. Great customer service. Fresh cooked when ordered.“

“I absolutely love this place… it is soooo good , I can’t wait to go back“

“Amazing sushi! We love the dynamite roll, the pink lady, the amazing roll and the pineapple fried rice. They have gone above and beyond to follow safety protocols and keep everyone safe.“

“Food and service is always excellent. Kelly is my usual waitress and knows our orders by heart. We may go there a little too much but it's so good it's hard not to lol“

“Love the sushi💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜“

“Delicious food! Great server!“

“The most amazing sushi in Memphis area. So lucky to have found a fresh sushi place. Everything we have had was wonderful. Wonderful owners.“

“Wonderful food service and atmosphere!!!“

“We had East Meets West this past weekend and it was hands down THE BEST Asian food we've had anywhere in Memphis. My husband is VERY picky and truly appreciates authentic flavors, good quality, and high level food presentation and he was impressed - and it was takeout! Takeout is usually thrown together at other restaurants but this was a great experience. We had the leftovers the next day and he still raved about how amazing it was. Great job! We'll be back!“

“Some of the best sushi you will find in Memphis area. I’ve eaten at both restaurants within this week and both excellent. Man who complained about slow service evidently doesn’t know we are in a pandemic and expect service to be the same as before. Patience is key. I will say service was fast both times. Depends on time you go maybe? Worth the wait. Go try it 😉“

“We love Saito! Always good food and good service! There was 13 of us tonight and we all enjoyed our time.“

“The crab rangoons were super fresh and look at that picture of the inside of them. It's real strands of imitation crab 🦀, made to order. The roll is a spicy shrimp and it's very good. The prices are very affordable, like $5.75 for that tempura roll.“

“There was a disruption with the terminal at the register and the servers were so nice! They apologized a lot and gave another dish as a sorry for their mistake. I wasn’t originally very offended, as this happens a lot, but it touched me to see how much they tried to fix their mistake. Love this place! Always have adored the food!“

“Ordered take out last night! The food is amazing the portion size was crazy good! We will have leftovers for days!! Thank you so much Lynn!!“

“We had a delicious lunch at Zen today. I can’t wait to come back for dinner. Everything was absolutely wonderful!“

“Kirby location: They BURNT my rice :( Usually the rice is great. But this time I literally smelled burnt food when I walked in and my rice tasted like the bottom of the skillet and had black specks on it. If I wasn’t starving, I woulda took it back in for a remake…very disappointed. Im a regular customer. I probably go once or twice a month now. I gave em 4 stars because the food is usually on point. I feel like they keep pans of premade rice and meat then heat it up soon as they get an order. I like Sake Vs Tekila much better. I will give them another try tho.“

“I wish I had more opportunities to visit Ryu. Very happy to see it reopen.“

“Sumo has some of the best sushi that I have tasted! Not to mention the hibachi is amazing! Fast friendly service and you can also order online. Give them a try!“

“The plain facade on the front of the building holds a delicious surprise when you walk into the door. As you walk closer to the cash register the Amazing aromas come from the very talented cooks. Freshly cooked ingredients are made to order with care and time. The food had a delicate balance of flavors which can be tasted by taste buds. The prices are reasonable. Sorry people, I didn't take pictures.“

“The BEST in town! Sushi Jimmi is a master and he never disappoints. Always fresh, always amazing. Thanks Jimmi!“

“Love this place !! Best sushi in Bartlett hands down .. the fresh raw sushi is prepared on the spot and delicious!! I ALWAYS get the tuna nigiri and yellow tail hand roll !! Clean flavor and plated nicely.. also you have e to try the fried rice , made to order every time and add the side of garlic butter to make it perfect!!“

“Just a nice place to have lunch or dinner. We like the food and the atmosphere. The servers and hostesses are all very nice.“

“Some of the best sushi I've had. All of the meat fried rice is good. Miso soup is great.

I just tried the hot and sour soup. Sad to say it was very disappointing compared to their other dishes. It tasted like weak miso with soy sauce in it. It wasn't spicy at all.“
