8 Best Japanese Restaurants near Franklin

“Great food, friendly staff, close to everything“

“Hands down the best! I can sum up this place with one word, that is Tony. Not #TonyVitello but Tony the owner and superstar sushi chef. I have personally seen him cut sushi for country superstars the same as he prepares for my kids. His "slogan" is "see you tomorrow" and I truly believe he means that to everyone that walks through his door. Thank you Tony!“

“This was my first time stopping by to grab a quick bite while my son was at practice, and I was honestly very impressed 😊 I ordered takeout, and the service was fast, friendly, and very professional. The food was also excellent! My Alaska roll and the salmon sashimi were both incredibly fresh and full of flavor 🍣👌 You could really taste the quality of the ingredients. Everything was prepared perfectly and made the quick stop totally worth it. Great experience overall, and I’ll definitely be coming back again soon! 👍✨“

“HUGE portions. I ordered the Lo Mien with chicken and vegetables. My wife got the beef teriyaki with vegetables. Got the Tempura vegetables super large. Big enough for 2+. Everything was delicious and hot. Definitely coming back. Service was top notch and order came out quickly. Well done Sakura!“

“Great Sushi and great service!“

“My wife and I came for the sushi and stayed for the warm, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. It was a quiet afternoon, and we were the only customers, so one of the chefs kept introducing us to his favorite kinds of sushi and letting us try them on the house. All the staff spoke Japanese to each other, which was super cool. I haven't studied Japanese in years, but living near Bodeli may be enough to make me want to dust off my kanji books and see if I can stammer through a conversation with them.“

“I cannot even begin to say how amazing this place is. They spared no expense decorating and renovating this space. The food was fantastic and is very reasonably priced. They have a huge center bar and lots of Hibachi tables and seating if you are getting Sushi. PLUS a robot brought our food! Ask for Alec! He took great care of us!“

“Party of 4 went on the Sunday after Valentine's Day so they were very busy. Host and server with both kind. The food was excent, we got a few of the more interactive dishes. Definitely has young urban vibe and we definitely felt like we were having dinner somewhere other Cool Springs! Recommended.“
