“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.

“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 😍❤️“

“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.“

“Old school japanese restaurant. 👍👍“

“Rarely is the service and food five stars...unless you're at Kayne Prime! Top notch on all counts. Thomas, Amber and team were fantastic! We felt pampered. The steak melts like butter on the tongue.“

“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.“

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

“I could rave about this place all day long. I got the butterfly roll and it was delicious, but the real star was the side of mixed vegetables. I mean seriously I am gonna be thinking about them 12 years from now. I need that sauce in a bottle.“

“Fantastic meal! Love the menu. We sat outside but beautifully elegant ambience inside. About an hour or so before we walked over to eat I stopped in and got a menu and the ladies at the hostess podium were super kind. When we came back we were again met by a very helpful employee, Delilah. She sat us immediately and ended up being our server for the meal. She was thorough and knowledgeable. The service and the meal were perfect! We will absolutely be regularly returning and we will be requesting Delilah every time. Great experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone! P.S.- They do lunch from 12-3pm, happy hour (including apps) from 3-6pm. And apparently they have a rooftop (kid friendly) open on Friday & Saturday evenings until 12am.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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 absolutely adore this restaurant! This was my first time here and Chloe gave me the GREATEST recommendations!! I started with the spicy korean wings & then tried the Atlantic Roll which I LOVED both! I thought the service was friendly and loved the atmosphere overall! I would also try a Sapporo beer while you’re there(: Thanks Chloe for the wonderful experience!!“

“Excellent quality sushi and Korean food with the option for tacos and burgers. Free and convenient parking lot (a rarity for Germantown)“

“Been my favorite for 27 years ,great service and wonderful food . My granddaughter's favorite after school ," let's grab a snack " ,speaks volumes.“

“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.“

“Food here is amazing and I love the coupon they have on the back of my local Kroger Register tapes. Great to save money now I can go more often. Thank you“

“Sushi Bar is by far the best restaurant and experience not only in Nashville but in the country! Yes it is expensive but worth every penny! My husband Stan and I frequent there and it is truly our favorite place. Not only is the food exceptional but the ambiance and experience! The ladies when you check in, to Daniel, to all the chefs! We especially love Gage and Duncan!“

“Great service, AMAZING food. Such a fun experience every time we go“

“Great food, amazing server Emily... The food was a flavor ride you want to go on!!!“

“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. 👏👏👏“

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