22 Best Japanese Restaurants near Goodlettsville

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“An awesome experience! We were seated right away having made a reservation. Everything single thing we ordered was delicious! From the yuzu strawberry lemonade to the katsu sandwich and udon. Really enjoyed our small plates of onigiri and the crunchy chopped salad as well. Can't wait 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 😍❤️“

“There was no one in the restraunt when we arrived at 7:30pm on a Monday night. Glad that didnt deter us.
🍣 sushi was excellent!!
Dwayne roll was 🔥.
Crunchy shrimp roll 🔥.
Seafood pancake- great! Crispy and tasty. It is a mini, very small serving for $8.99.
Teriyaki was ok. My son ordered this as he isnt adventurous. I dont think most people are coming here for this anyway.

If you need a new sushi recommend, this is your spot!! Also they have soju and korean food!“

“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“

“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.“

“We visited Baby Chan for lunch after loving the restaurant Kisser. We were so pleased with our experience and the food! My first recommendation would be to get a reservation unless you just want to grab pastries and coffee at the walk up. We started our meal with the taro Swiss cake roll and it changed my life. It tasted like eating a taro milk tea, which I love! It was lightly sweetened and had a very strong taro flavor (in a good way)! We also ordered the Arnold Palmer’s which are green tea and yuzu lemonade. Yum! For entrees, my husband got the salmon chirashi and I had the crab soba! My husband loved his dish and raved about the salmon to rice to roe ratio. They did not skimp on the good stuff! His only qualm was he wanted a little more spice so he used some of my wasabi. I also loved my dish, which I had great flavor and was fun to eat. Would definitely recommend Baby Chan!“

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

“Our meals with nine folks for a lunch birthday party were excellent! I tried the grilled chicken and veggies with a side of grilled mushrooms; awesome! It came with a small salad and a small bowl of chicken broth soup. The restaurant is clean & pleasant. The staff was attentive and helpful. This is a great dining find!“

“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.“

“Ok this was so worth it. Had the best spring rolls i’ve ever had and that includes some restaurants in Japan. Food came out really fast, great service and delicious food! Quite affordable and very worth your time. Very friendly staff and i’m just obsessed! Thank you!“

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