35 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hermitage

“Best Thai in the area. Huge menu and everything is excellent!!! I crave it and go all the time! It’s a must try“

“I took some business partners to dinner here. The food was so-so. Pretty basic hibachi, nothing special. I got steak, and they ordered everything else on the menu - shrimp, fish, chicken, scallops, a few sushi rolls, etc. If you’re wanting better food, drive an hour to Bowling Green, KY and hit up Yuki. But this was convenient and I didn’t want to spend an hour in the car with these guys.“

“First time trying them out Was referred by ALOT of ppl And i must say —> Everything was AMAZING down to the ginger dressing on the salad 🤤🤤😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🤩 1000/10 !!!!! I WILL FOR SURE BE BACK 😊😊🤤🤤“

“Kisser was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. The service, ambiance, and food were all exceptional, and in a caliber of their own, especially here in Nashville. The beef tartare is a MUST as are the onigiri for appetizers. The caramel miso Creme brulee has amazing depth and is on point across all categories. The venue is small, so you may have to wait but it is WELL worth it!“

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

“Found a nice little restaurant tucked away. The employees were super nice. This location is a decent size. It looks tiny but mighty. Definitely the mom and pop vibe that makes you feel the staff actually wants to be there. Lots of great options on the menu. From sushi to udon. The menu definitely complements each item so you really can’t go wrong. We wanted something small and light. We ordered creamy udon with chicken. A simple but delicious dish. Almost like a sweet creamy cheesy Korean Alfredo sauce with a hint of corn. Juicy onion slices. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Not overcooked had a moist texture and flavor. It’s a very simple dish not much to it just simple traditional flavors. A dish that is very easy to mess up by this was the best one I have had in a while. Very reasonably priced. All together we spend about 15 bucks each before tip. Next time when we have more time we will try more variety. They menus looks great and the liquor selection is wonderful. We definitely recommend this place.“

“Hands down the best sushi in town. The owner is amazing and always greets me by name when I walk in. She truly makes it feel like home. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you have not tried it yet, you are missing out.“

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

“With the amazing Sushi Kingdom across the street, I wasn't expecting this restaurant to be as good, but it was actually better! I love Sushi Kingdom for the all-you-can-eat aspect, but when I don't want that much food I come here. The sushi is better at Arigato Sayonara and so are the appetizers and hibachi. The prices are reasonable and the staff is so nice! Even something so simple as miso soup was done to perfection.“

“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!!“

“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“

“This is FAST, GOOD food. It's kinda surprising how good it is. Elvis is the owner and he really knows what he's doing. High quality ingredients and you can taste it when you take your first bite. He's got his team trained well. Every single time, it's perfection.

Oh, and the cheapest place in town for scallops!

Not much on atmosphere, but I found out that most of their business is drive through. Good for them. If you're a drive through kind of person, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food here.“

“They had excellent Sushi 🍱 and very friendly people“

“My girlfriend and I came for dinner last night and were seated after a short wait. Unfortunately, our experience started off poorly with the first chef we were assigned. After our waitress took the order, the chef came out and immediately began placing sauce cups on the grill. While pouring sauces, his hands shook violently, spilling most of it onto the grill instead of into the cups. He repeated the process a second time, leaving the grill drenched in dark sauce before even starting to cook. On top of that, the chef had the sniffles and was noticeably sniffing over the grill, which was concerning from a hygiene standpoint.

At that point, I spoke with the manager, Wayne. He listened attentively and reassured me not to worry. This conversation took less than three minutes, but by the time I returned to the table, the rice for our entire table was already served. Everyone was confused because hibachi fried rice simply doesn’t cook in under three minutes, and nobody wanted to try it.

Shortly after, Wayne returned and handled the situation perfectly. He politely asked the first chef to take a break and reassigned us to a new chef, Jeff, moving our group to another table. The difference was night and day. Jeff was fantastic—outgoing, funny, skillful, and great with the kids at our table. He turned the evening around and gave us the hibachi experience we came for. Wayne and our waitress also went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of.

While our night started off rocky, the manager and second chef completely redeemed the experience. Because of their professionalism and hospitality, we ended up having a wonderful dinner. We will definitely be returning to Mikado, and next time we’ll be sure to request Jeff as our chef.“

“I give this place a 9 out of 10. The food is served at a reasonable price. Comes out at a great temperature cooked perfectly. The one point deduction is from the fried rice. It is a bit bland but when mixed in with the teriyaki or hibachi it comes to life but I wouldn't eat it on its own. The dumplings Are also cooked to perfection the perfect amount of soft and crispy. The staff is very nice and easy on the eyes. I would definitely eat here again. It has a great flavor profile and isn't that what matters the most. I also tried the Miso soup but I don't miso soup only tried it because it was so cheap and you never know.“

“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!“

“We have had take out many times prior tonight and always a delicious meal. Unfortunately tonight was not! My meal was a large beef,noodles and vegetables. The plate was 80% noodles, 10 % beef, which was tasteless and chewy, % 20 vegetables which were tasteless. Will have to rethink ordering again.
Well we ordered again and the meals for both of us were outstanding! I take back what the meal prior to tonight was about. Beef was not chewy, a nice mix mixture of veggies and noodles. You have won me back to your drive for excellent food and service. 👏👏👏“

“The ratio of food and rice is perfect imo. I ended up with no leftovers by just getting an entree. The food is cooked very well. Loved the Basil Stir Fry with Tofu. Great place for everyone including vegetarians. The Thai Coffee is sweet. My friends liked the red curry and the fried rice so I would recommend.“

“AMAZING! 10/10 Delicious food that came out fast and beautiful. Highly recommend for a delightful lunch or dinner!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I went here today and got the crab lovers roll and some green tea. the food was excellent and very fresh and the owners were super nice! I absolutely recommend Sushi Circle.“

“One of my 2 favorite sushi places in Hendersonville! The only place with Mochi as far as I know, though!“

“Rock N Roll Sushi in Donelson is amazing! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every time. The staff is super friendly and the vibe is fun and relaxed. Easily one of my favorite spots for sushi — highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great Sushi at a great value. Service was incredible!“

“7pm on a Saturday night, not busy but slow service. The goyza tasted "fishy" (do they put seaweed in the goyza here? That seems strange if they do), the sushi was ok but was unevenly cut leading to some comically large bites. The ramen comes with a fried egg, which just doesn't hit as well as a marinated ramen egg and the katsu pork I'm pretty sure what just a sysco pre-breaded pork chop which wasn't especially tender or flavorful. I have had better experiences here in the past but it fell way short of the mark this time. Also they seem to have some strange obsession with putting asparagus in almost everything, so if you love asparagus this may be your jam but I don't find it works great in sushi rolls.“

“Yesterday we had a fabulous dinner at KOI SUSHI THAI, EAST in Nashville….. it was wonderful! We started with Squid Salad and Gyoza then ate our way through totally yummy Crab Bang, YumYum, Eel Nigiri, White Tuna, & Sweet Shrimp… crunchy and delicious! Then we topped it off with Mochi ice cream! Every bite was better than we’ve had in a long time on the road! We had a “Trainee” server…and the rest of their friendly staff helped her provide superior attention! So glad we found KOI SHSHI THAI early in our stay herein Nashville! We’ll be back!“

“We ended up here as a last minute change of plans for our 7 year wedding anniversary dinner. Don't judge me. We had the best first time experience at MoriMori than I think we've ever had as far as first times go. We'd never been here before. Our waiter was fantastic!! He had suggestions from the drinks to the appetizers and our meal! The food we had was absolutely amazing! So many new flavors in my mouth. I cannot say enough, this place was a 10!!! We will absolutely be back!!!“

“Amazing food and great service.“

“Delish! Highly recommend!“

“Good food and great service. I visit this place often when in town!“

“The food is usually good, but it has been better before. I hope they can do more care to the buffet to make it amazing again. The cleaning needs to be done better. And the food should be more fresher. Otherwise, it is a good value especially for large family with kids. The desert selection is nice and the parking is convenient.
