Anaba Japanese Cuisine Maryville

I've eaten here a dozen times and this is a solid 4 out 5 star restaurant.Our meals were tasty. Salad dressing was at expectations, the dressing was good. The quantity of shrimp was low. I counted 7-8 small-medium pieces in my meal. At $16+ a meal, that is steep in my opinion.Our sauce from our meals was leaking in the bottom of our takeout bag; thankfully, there was still enough cooked in for the taste to not be affected.Overall, we both felt like the food was good, per usual, but the portions are a bit too small for the price.

This place was absolutely fantastic, especially the waitress that looked like a grown up skinny version of Wednesday Addams. She was an absolute delight to have as a waitress.Food was extremely fresh with very reasonable pricing.Would highly recommend to anybody looking for fantastic sushi in East Tennessee.

The food is always pretty good here and we come often, but while we were there tonight, we counted 4 different cockroaches crawling around us in different areas. I had planned on just calling the restaurant to let them know but then I noticed other reviews mentioning bugs here. Definitely something that needs to be addressed.

My husband and I had just left a football game. It was a quarter after 9. Most restaurants close around 10 or 11. They closed at 10. My husband loves sushi but our other sushi restaurant already closed earlier unfortunately. He looked this up and said let’s try it! I was hesitant A because were walking in to a place that’s going to be closing soon and I had seen a lot of the reviews for here which were a mixture of great and not. I thought for sure they’d be reluctant and rude like most places would walking in 30+ Minutes prior to close. The hostess was super friendly and seated us right away. My husband asked our waitress a couple of questions about the rolls we wanted to try. We went for the Philly, a Hawaiian type roll, and the happy tummy roll. She was very knowledgeable and we ordered. And she made sure our drinks stayed full. We sat directly at the sushi bar in front of the chef and sushi case. Our food was a beautiful presentation and looked and was absolutely delicious. I recommend everything we tried. The chef asked us how we liked it and wanted our feedback. It was delicious and looked great. We were impressed by him His ethnicity was not of the food he was preparing and he did an outstanding job! We’ve found a new favorite for sure.

Staff was so friendly. Our waitress was very attentive. Food came out hot and fresh. Everything was absolutely delicious. Try the miso dip as an appetizer. The tempura was super yummy too!

The service was very good. The waitress made sure we got everything we needed. I got a bento box with chicken. I strongly suggest this menu option as it gives you options to try from.

Driving back home, I took a chance and pulled in here and glad I did. This was the best tonkotsu ramen I've had. Get it with chasu, I dare you to not like it.Amazing service and food. I highly recommend this place.

Anaba was fantastic. I went there everyday for lunch while I was in town for work with a Japanese coworker of mine. Lots of different choices, so many great things to try

Me and my husband occasionally eat here for date nights and always enjoy the food. They offer a menu that ranges from typical Japanese hibachi to more adventurous dishes that aren't found in other restaurants in the area and all of it is great quality.

Anaba has really stepped up their game! Our server, Autumn, was very friendly and provided fantastic service. Our meals came out in a timely manner and were very tasty. Keep up the good work!

My Wife and I have been here twice now. Both times we've had excellent cuisine; the presentation is the best in town. Great service, and fair wait times. Even though the kitchen could use some TLC, we've enjoyed the atmosphere enough to feel welcomed back.. Definitely for the Monday/Tuesday happy hour specials!

Our first time there. Quaint place at the end of a small strip mall. They have a fairly extensive menu and wide variety of items. The three of us all ordered something different and we sampled each others food. All of it was well prepared and tasty. Wait staff was friendly and efficient. Not that far from the house... we'll definitely be back!

Hands down some of the best sushi in the area - the happy hour deal on hot sake is pretty nice too!

In one word...?!?!? NO, I can offer several... NASTY! OVERPRICED!! And... SLOPPY!!! My call-in order consisted of the Happy Tummy Roll, Volcano Roll, Steak & Shrimp Hibachi, Yakitori, Gyoza, and Panko Fried Pork, a nice little setback of over 80 BUCKS! NEVER EVER AGAIN will Ababa Japanese Restaurant in Maryville, TN see my face again, nor receive another single penny from me!!! Simply put, REPULSIVE!!!! P.S. - This is the 1st and only negative review that I've ever written; but I feel so strongly about this, I had to write a review in the hopes of letting others know so they won't be ripped off. Happy eating everyone... :)

This restaurant’s food tastes absolutely amazing and I would usually go very often but just the other day I went and there was a 30-45 minute wait list, so I sat and waited and not even 10 minutes into waiting for a table, me and another lady beside me noticed that there were cockroaches crawling in between the counter crack where the food for the sushi was. I haven’t went back since that experience.
