“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!“

“The food here is always delicious! It’s reasonably priced and there’s never a really long wait. I’ve Gotten their chicken teriyaki every time at hibachi and it makes such a nice meal for date night. The service is an exceptional as well as the atmosphere. this is my husband husband super full after enjoying a nice meal here.“

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

“We've loved Yokohama since day 1. We've been coming since they opened because my grandparents lived a few houses down from the restaurant. The food and service have ALWAYS been consistently great. We always order the same things, but we've never had a bad meal. The prices are also excellent for the amount of food you get. Michelle is the best!“

“I have eaten here 100 times. I seen some of y’all reviews and y’all need an education. Prices are up because of your elected officials- has nothing to do with this ‘mom & pop’ store. It is actually proper market value. And the quality and nutrition you get is 10X better than any other fast food restaurant.

There is really no comparison to the quality of food they make and in the fast food market. Their quality is 5X better than even fast casual spots like Chipotle.

On top of that, their customer service is exceptional and some of the kindest people in the area.

Any review below 3 stars someone is inept or having a bad day.“

“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!“

“This was BY FAR the BEST hibachi I have ever had. Every meat was exceptional, the filet was top tier and cooked to perfection. But the best part was the chicken, it melts in your mouth. And not to mention every worker in there was great and actually cared about you having a good experience. I live 1.5 hours away and will be coming back for sure multiple times“

“Stop going in here expecting high end. It’s not. It’s a hole in the wall gem that’s affordable 🖤
First off “the rice is bland”? No it’s not. They make their rice that way on purpose bc they let you make your own sauces inside. You can always ask for extra teriyaki or rice sauce on the rice.
Everyone with 1 star dont understand what they are getting. This place isn’t “a restaurant with true hibachi” they have hibachi on the menu but they are more so a high end fast food restaurant. You wait for your food in 15 mins or less and it’s AFFORDABLE. This is great for people who don’t have $30 to go to hibachi like everyone else that’s seeming to make it out here and can go out to eat every week. They give a good portion. The rice bowls will always be our go to because you’re paying $9 for a bowl of teriyaki chicken and fried rice that’s makes you stuffed. Their spring rolls are to die for and most of all they are fixing EVERYONES food fresh. Stop going in here expecting hibachi restaurant. It’s just high end fast food and thank god we have that because I’m tired of only being able to afford fried food or Taco Bell.
The best part is they let you make your OWN sauces in the little fridge to the left of the cashier. Ultimately I can make my rice taste different everytime but we are regulars so we have a routine“

“delicioso! felicidades yuyi y tito!“

“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.“

“We tried this lovely and delicious restaurant last night. The first thing I learned was they have two menus- one for sushi/sashimi and one for Thai cuisine. This review is about the Thai menu choices. Their menu is available online. There are many different and delicious sounding rice and noodle dishes with veggies that you can order with your choice of chicken, meat, seafood, or tofu. Their diverse menu also offers a tempting selection of fried rice dishes, appetizers, soups, and desserts. They ask you to let them know if you would like your dish to have some heat, and how much. Prices are comparable with or even less than other Thai restaurants I’ve been to. My brother chose red curry, made with coconut milk and mouth wateringly good with veggies, chicken, and jasmine rice. I had pho, a Vietnamese soup. The huge and certainly dinner-size bowl of oh so good luscious broth was filled with noodles, veggies, pork that I chose, and basil, bean sprouts, and slices of jalapeño pepper and lime on the side to be added as desired. I dumped them all in and dug in. Ummm umm SO good, YUM! We had mango sticky rice for dessert. If you like mangos, I’d say this dessert is not to be missed! The rice IS sticky. In fact it’s stuck together- sweet and especially delicious with the mango. The staff was extremely helpful, welcoming and warm and friendly. They enthusiastically answered my questions. We ate in the restaurant. Very clean and attractive. I completely recommend it! We really enjoyed the place, the people, AND the food. Try it!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Delish! Highly recommend!“

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

“Rock N Roll Sushi probably just became my new favorite takeout. Price, quality, quantity, and flavor are all five stars. If y'all are near Donelson, give it a try, it's so good. 🤤 Edit to add- after reviewing comments on other reviews, this restaurant *definitely* just became my new favorite. I can't wait to come back, and tip well! 😝“

“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.“

“They had excellent Sushi 🍱 and very friendly people“

“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!“

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

“The salmon here is otherworldly...but not like, what your mind would conjure up as some space-faring salmon. Think more terrestrial. What I mean is that I've had some of the best salmon sashimi here that I have put in my mouth. Fatty, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth salmon. Everything else has been great here too! Try the calimari. It can be tough to find places that do it well. Probably the best sushi I'm Mt Juliet since Hana years ago.“

“Had a wonderful experience here, with the very kind waitress Rose. The ambiance was perfect, and the Cascade Roll knocked my socks off! Had a small issue (on my end) that the manager worked very hard to resolve! Really appreciate the help, and I think the trip is definitely worth a repeat.“

“Amazing food and great service.“

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

“They need to work on something when you go to a buffet all the other customers are touching the same spoons and they're not washing their hands of sanitizing I was kind of spectacle but I got my eyebrow Waze don't know if I would visit again“
