50 Best Sushi Bars near Madison

“This place is awesome. Food never disappoints. Will definitely be a repeat customer.“

“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“

“It was my first time eating Poke! I have to say, Beverly was amazing at walking me through all the different combinations and assured me that the salmon was great to eat raw. I went with yozu ponzu salmon. It was out of this world! I will definitely be coming back once I’m in town again. The garlic spam was also incredible. It was a bit pricy I think but otherwise everything was great.“

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

“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.“

“Truly cannot say enough to express how wonderful and mindful this entire omakase experience was! We had chefs Shane and Gage, and beverage curation by Shaylise (apologies if any name spelling is wrong). They provided not only an informative, special, and mindful meal but also a welcoming and fun atmosphere. From the welcome cocktail to the final dessert everything was personal and delicious. I went in expecting to have a favorite and least favorite course but every single bite was so fantastic and carefully curated, I couldn’t choose between them. We were able to ask questions, talk about each course, and enjoy the company of the staff and our fellow patrons. If you get the chance to treat yourself to this DO IT! No pictures because we were so immersed in the moment, and I hope to visit again to share with more friends and family ❤️“

“Excellent Sushi, wonderful service. Fresh, they don't try to rush like some places would but don't keep you waiting when you do decide what you want. Also, the best tasting authentic japanese soy sauc“

“The chicken Ramen and Nashvegas Sushi Roll was everything I needed. The sushi roll friend then topped with spicy crab 10/10“

“Red Ninja is an excellent sushi spot. There are a ton of options ranging from traditional nigiri and sashimi preparations to complex, creative rolls. The quality of the fish is amazing, the service is outstanding, and the prices are very reasonable.“

“The Good: My wife and I are from California and have been missing good seafood and sushi. Nashville still really lacks on good quality fish, and when you do find it, you're paying a premium for just good quality that is not special to the west or east coasts.

That being said, this place does provide good sushi. The fish and flavor combinations were good. It satisfied our sush cravings and it was not disappointing. We did their top level omakase experience which included touches of bone marrow and truffle here and there + a bump of caviar. For refreshments, they only serve water, coke. and sprite. But our host was kind enough to grab a diet coke from the hotel and didnt even charge us for it. Really nice of them.

The alcohol selection is very limited, but looked delicious. We are on a no alcohol kick for this month so we didnt try any. They also have a couple of mocktails which were delicious.

The chef was kind and personable. He did a really good job keeping up conversations while keeping up with the food experience. Even taught me some tips while cooking at home.

The atmosphere was intimate and chic. Small seating area with good lighting and decor. Music from the restaurant was great and not too loud.

The not so bad: There seemed to be a nightclub below us, which was distracting only becuase I'm easily distracted. No one else seemed to mind it.

Also like I mentioned before, you are paying a premium for sushi in the Nashville area, which still a disappointment. Our total bill was just under $500 including tax and tip. There are three levels for the Omakase starting at $75/person going up to $175/person. The level of differentiation between each is not really worth it. So I would do one of the first 2 tiers next time.

We also have not tried Noko or Sushi Bar yet for comparison, but when we do I'll update my review.

That being said, it is worth checking out and we will probably be back again.“

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

“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.“

“Very enjoyable evening and experience. The wasabi martini was amazing. The spring rolls were phenomenal. The chocolate mousse dessert was amazing. Highly recommended. Well worth the cost.“

“My 18 year old Son and I ate there for the first time yesterday. Absolutely delicious with a joyful atmosphere. We certainly will return! Yum!“

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

“Loved it so much we went every day for a week. Food was great, service great. Would continue to go every day but needed to go back home to Baltimore. Love it love it love it Great experience service was the best and we are world travelers.“

“Clean and bright, easy parking, well rounded menu with lots of choices. Portions sizes for more expensive rolls are generous, lower priced rolls are smaller but all very fresh tasting. Udon soup has a smoky rich taste, lots of noodles with a few raw vegetables. The only negative was the frozen fried tofu which is like a sponge - fresh or fresh fried would taste much better. Good selection of alcohol, the sakes, like the coconut lemongrass one are excellent but pricey. We have visited 4 times and have never been disappointed.“

“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!“

“Oh my gosh. The best sushi I’ve had in Nashville!! And the Chicken Fried Rice….I mean, it will be my go-to comfort food from now on. The Peruvian sushi with the ceviche was my fave, followed closely by the Blink 182. Go. Go now. Why are you still reading this? GO!“

“Destiny was an amazing waitress. She took great care of us and we will definitely be back!!“

“Edit: it's been years since I've been here while the sushi is still really good. 34 bucks for 2 rolls that only came with 8 pieces is a little too pricey. How 10 pieces for that kind of money.

Service was really awesome and the food was even better. I absolutely loved the ginger salad dressing and the sushi was so yummy. I had the Thriller“

“Excellent meal served by Dakota! Everything was great, served perfectly as ordered, prompt and professionally. We traveled in from Louisville with our only objective to eat at Jeff Ruby's and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended! Thanks again Dakota for a wonderful meal!“

“This is the only sushi store in the food hall, located right next to the passageway doors. They have over 30 different types of sushi rolls. Some small dishes, sashimi, desserts and drinks are also available in the menu. Prices range from $8 to $20. They are one of the rare stores that actually has seats all around it. Looks pretty cool to get the view of the kitchen from the seats.

I waited about 5 minutes in the line to put in my order. They use phone numbers to notify customers when order is ready for pick up. Very convenient as visitors can go around while their rolls are getting ready. My order took about 20 minutes to be ready. While I was waiting, I saw other orders coming out, the sushi and snack items looked really nice. The staff members were working super hard in the kitchen to get the huge numbers of orders completed as quickly as possible.

I got the eel sushi roll. It came with 10 pieces. The taste of the eel and rice was decent. The sauce was really good. They also have a lot of ginger and good quantity of wasabi. Overall it was a decent meal, but I wish the wait time wasn’t this long.“

“I have to give you all 5 stars, because of the great accommodations that you all made for my friend who has sensitivities to gluten and is also a vegan. I have 2 friends that have this background and my other friend and I went to a restaurant and they were unable to make accommodations and they wouldn't even use the gluten free sauce she bought brand new from the store. Whereas at Blue Sushi, not only do you all have a dedicated gluten free and vegan menu, you all even were able to adapt other menu items. So, I wanted to thank you on my friends behalf 🙏🏾.“

“After a delayed flight with a shortened layover, we were STARVING. We were able to grab containers of pre-made sushi, take a seat, and were in and out in under 20 minutes. The staff was very friendly, the food was great, and we weren't stuck waiting in line.“

“We had a few friends out to go to dinner at Sunda. To start this review, Mario and Justin were awesome. It really seems like the staff works very well with Mario and has a good time. Our group gave a some creative license on the food to Justin, who was serving us. The whole experience was one of a kind and truly exceptional. We had a few bottles of wine and some of the sake. Everyone at the table enjoyed what Mario, the manager, suggested for appetizers. We started off with some interesting sushi, spicy edamame, and shishito peppers. One creation called the Great White was beyond belief. Try it if you are in. A few more sushi creations went around the table were the salmon crudo, the yuzu tuna, the tuna truffle pizza, and the smoke show (which was a cool little presentation). My wife had the Tom Yum Sea Bass which was short of amazing. I had the pancit canton with chicken, which was the simplest of all of the adult dishes. Justin brought out a huge "boat" of sushi for one of my friends. It was probably one of the most adventurous and tasty sushi dishes I have ever seen. If you have kids, you know it means a ton when your child really loves their dinner. Mario suggested a salmon bento box, of which the kid loved every bite. The lychee mochi ice cream was a great dessert to end with. Mario sat with us for a few discussing the food and my child trusted his opinion on food so much she tried her first, second and third salmon nigiri! To finish we had the Ube pie and the bibingka cake because I like Ube and Filipino food. The pie was great but the bibingka cake took the show. It had an amazing flavor profile. The service was probably the best I have ever had. The staff's knowledge of the menu and what will pair well was on point. We cannot wait to go back after the holidays! Billy Dec did an amazing job with this restaurant and definitely has the right staff for Nashville. Be adventurous with your food and enjoy your experience here. You will not regret it! Mario and Justin-- appreciate the hospitality and awesome experience!“

“Delish! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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 trimester has me limited on food. Last night I was feeling so awful. Nothing heavy sounded good. Looked up places near us & they came up. It was 10/10 what my belly needed. The sticky rice was amazing , the miso soup was SO good. Got sushi too & didn't get a chance to eat it but excited for it today. Also, appreciate their side options. My kiddo wouldn't eat a full meal but the side option allowed us to get her something she actually would. 10/10 will eat again when in the area! Also appreciated the to go option & the wait time wasn't bad.“

“Been meaning to go here for years. Finally did. What an incredible lunch deal! I can’t wait to return. Without a doubt this is the best sushi spot on this end of town. Sushi train definitely ain’t it!“

“My partner and I visited Arigato Sayonara for the first time tonight and we had the best time! The service was excellent, and food was not only delicious but well-priced, and we truly appreciated how David, our hibachi chef, managed his grill. We can't wait to come back to try more sushi and items from the kitchen! We will definitely see if we can have David as our chef too-- he has an amazing personality, really engages with his guests, and handles cross contamination SO professionally! He's just the best! The lovely ladies handling FOH were fabulous too-- attentive, friendly, and very fun as well. All around 10/10!“

“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.“

“Be best sushi I have ever eaten and I've eating sushi all over North America, between Toronto and then to New York and then to LA and then down to Florida.... This is by far the best of I have ever eaten... I apologize I can't remember the name of our waiter but he was Chinese and he was the best waiter I've ever had...“

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

“This place is absolutely amazing and such kid friendly. I loved the food it was so good, and this is the first time my little Timmy actually ate international food I was so stoked. The service was amazing my server was Miki, I also think she is the owner, she was just amazing and so nice to me and my family. Also, this place was really clean. I give this place my full recommendation. 20/10“

“I had a great time for my 30th birthday! Excellence customer service from our server (kitty). Great atmosphere, clean bathrooms, and awesome sushi! I tried the fire crunch specialty roll 10/10 recommend! The spring roll starters were also excellent!“

“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!“

“This fried chicken we got was next level DELICIOUS, from the breading, to the chicken seasoning, and that special sauce it came with. Yum!!! Highly recommended! The portion is large and priced reasonably. We found this place online and was skeptical at first since it’s not a traditional set up restaurant, turned out to be such a hidden gem! You can find many different restaurants in this food hall. We can’t wait to come back and try more food soon“

“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“

“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 food and great service.“

“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.“

“Great Thai place!! Owners are super friendly and everything Ive tried has been fantastic.“

“Great food and music go visit“

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

“Aiyara Thai is the closest Thai restaurant to our apartment, but even after driving in every direction within 20 minutes trying other places, this one is still the best.

If you’re someone who doesn’t like overly “fishy” pad Thai, this is the place for you. I’ve had a lot of pad Thai over the years, and many places use a heavy amount of fish sauce, which just isn’t for me. Aiyara Thai gets the balance exactly right, and it’s absolutely delicious.

The staff are always friendly, the service is great, and our food is consistently ready on time. We’ve ordered from here many times and it never disappoints.

10/10 recommend!“

“I was eating there sometimes and the place looks very nice and comfortable, the food its rich portion and tasty, I can recommend for everyone cause is family and friendly, the staff is very nice, I really love that place anytime you can enjoy it. 100% 💯“

“The chicken teriyaki bento was the best bento box I have ever had. The meat was extremely tender, and it comes with two spring rolls, a full, well-sized California roll, and edamame. I was already thinking about when I could come back here, as I was eating“
