23 Best Japanese Restaurants near Goodlettsville

“Absolutely the best service and food! Love it and will definitely be back“

“One of my favorite restaurants! The sushi is amazing, i got the spicy crab roll and the hibachi steak and chicken are always tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff are friendly and provide great service. I always enjoy dining here and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!“

“First off, let me start with the service. The staff were welcoming and kind. The inside decor was clean and the vibe was inviting. A true hidden gem, this place had barely anyone inside but anyone who entered couldn’t help but smile and have fun as they were being treated by servers with infectious smiles and positive attitudes. Now onto our next subject. The food… My goodness did the food come out quick and they did not sacrifice quality food for good service either. The Crab Rangoon might have been the best appetizer I have ever eaten. It came out in a mere two minutes after ordering and then the main dish I had was Teriyaki Chicken and fried rice. The fried rice was soft, sweet and hot. Everyone needs to visit Poy Thai, I left with a new type of joy I have never felt before. When Jesus comes back He needs to visit Poy Thai.“

“I use door dash on the app Rice box doesn't not allow special instructions at all . I place a call to Rice box they said my food was already done it wasn't but a few minutes after I placed order.. when the order got picked up they said that it was cooked extra spicy and extra crispy. pitched the food will not be back.“

“All around great experience. The hostess was kind and seated us for our reservation quickly. It’s a very small space so a reservation is your best bet. Easy free parking. Server was kind and attentive and helpful with our decisions.
Food: shared the inari, goma-ae, and chirashi bowl to start between 3 people. They added an extra inari as it usually comes with 2 pieces. The inari and goma-ae were good but the chirashi bowl had the it factor. Then, I got the miso clam ramen and a chicken katsu. I think I’d go for the chicken curry rice next time. Sister and aunt loved their dishes: creamy bacon udon and yellowtail collar. If I went back it would be for the chirashi bowl. Finished off our meal sharing the parfait and it was worth it!“

“Red Ninja Sushi is absolutely worth 5 stars. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, with great attention to presentation. The sushi tasted clean and high quality, and everything came out exactly as expected.

The service was friendly, professional, and efficient. The atmosphere was comfortable, making it a good spot for both a casual meal and a night out.

Overall, Red Ninja Sushi delivered a great experience from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it and plan to come back.“

“Some of the BEST flavors and service in Nashville. The drinks and dishes are a cut above. I cannot wait to go back 😍❤️“

“First time for us go eat there Friday night! It was amazing! The food was amazing. You get plenty, and the people were amazing.“

“The ramen here is excellent. I’m not usually into spicy ramen, but the spice they use here actually tastes really good and doesn’t feel overwhelming. The hibachi is solid too, but it doesn’t really stand out compared to other places I’ve had. Prices are pretty reasonable, especially since there are other spots nearby that charge more for similar food and quality.“

“We love our Sapporo family. It was our 15th anniversary today and we chose them for an impromptu lunch: always the best service and consideration for their patrons. Thank you so much Sapporo Rivergate“

“I love this place, mom and pop owned. Great food, friendly service. Prices are great. For what you would pay at a fast food for junk you can have real meat, veggies and rice. Hands down a much better option. They cook everything fresh to order and have drive thru!!“

“It’s one of my favorite spots in the city. Amazing bites and great beverages, with a cute retro Japanese style. Plan ahead and make reservations if you want a meal or have a group. Walk ins may have to sit outside in the covered porch area which is also quite comfortable.“

“Went there with wife and kids yesterday (11/2/25) and we loved it. It was my wife's birthday and we wanted something different. It did not disappoint! Food was great, service was flawless, price was acceptable.“

“Best Philly roll anywhere. Always big and tight not falling apart like other places nearby. I refuse to go anywhere else for cali rolls as well!“

“My husband & I had this on a list of places to try. We went for a lunch date, it was great service, food was cooked fresh & everything was clean. We both got 2 different bowls and loved them both, definitely recommend and we will be back. Going to take the kids as well.“

“The service is great.The food is eehh.The prices are way over priced and I can’t say it was worth it. They didn’t wow me for what we paid. It wasn’t bad. Just not good.The salmon was way over cooked and too salty.The lettuce wraps were also a bit over priced.It is just a bit too much for us. We are used to resort prices. But wow.Drinks were good! It is really loud in here as well especially at night with people walking around everywhere.“

“What a hidden gem! Came last night with a friend and everything was delicious. Will be back again and again!“
