“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“They had excellent Sushi 🍱 and very friendly people“

“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!“

“It's a bit pricey if you are a filet type of guy like myself.. It's worth every penny though if you do not know how to prepare 8 ounce filet and shrimp hibachi like a true chef. Those are chefs working the grill here, not some $20 dollar an hour cook they hired off the street. When I can afford it then it's my go to treat. Not gonna lie, I cannot do it and make it taste nearly as well. Highly recommend if you can survive the gauntlet that you have to drive thru in Wilson County“

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

“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“

“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.“

“delicioso! felicidades yuyi y tito!“

“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! 😝“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Delish! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and great service.“

“It was delicious!! Can’t wait to come back.“

“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“
