50 Best Sushi Bars in Nashville

“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“

“Some of the best and creative sushi in town. 17 coursed and well done.“

“Had a disappointing first time poke bowl experience at a different place and Pokeworks totally made up for it! The ahi tuna was great and actually fresh; all of the ingredients were good quality. Meals are reasonably priced and affordable. The protein portions are somewhat small, but with the rice you won’t be leaving hungry. Will definitely be back!“

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

“Hidden gem is right! We went for Thai and had the pad ke mao (drunken noodles) and red curry. The litmus test, imo.

Both were excellent! I'll definitely be back to try more on the menu.
She was an excellent host and cook and the quality of ingredients top quality, and flavors were all spot on. Even the water is filtered and good.

It's been here 3 years and my first time. I am surprised I haven't noticed it before. The secret is out now.
Support local businesses and get Great authentic Thai here.

We'll be back and I do hope others support!“

“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.“

“Absolutely, hands down, the best fish and chips I have ever had. Everything is obviously made from scratch (even the tartar sauce). My wife loved it and she isn’t even much of a fish person. Put this place on your list of restaurants to try!“

“If you like sushi, this is a fabulous experience. I would rank this among the best sushi meals that I have had. The fish was so fresh and flavorful and prepared so wonderfully by the sushi chefs Matt the host was delightful. He was very welcoming and had good advice on the cocktails and dessert. This was really an experience. You sit at a counter and the sushi chefs give you each course as you are sitting there. We were a group of three and we all immensely enjoyed this experience. I hear there are similar experiences in New York City from Matt and I will certainly explore them in the future. This meal was just amazing. Also, the boozy ice cream at the end of the meal was a delightful refreshing end. The servings are small and served with a delightful sake that was so smooth. This meal was fabulous from start to finish. We also had the special cocktail a ginger martini that was excellent as well.“

“Door dash,UberEats and Grubhub“

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

“We had a great experience and the sushi was super fresh and tasty. Our server Marisa put a bow on our experience! She recommended all of the top options to help us navigate through the menu. We enjoyed our time and she made it special for us!“

“Our dinner at Jeff Ruby’s tonight was great! Our servers, Ama and Tyler, were phenomenal. Great atmosphere and good food! Highly recommend!“

“Kase x Noko was such a memorable dining experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the bartender was fantastic and the drinks were delicious. Once we were seated, the ambiance was sexy, cool, and effortlessly fun. And the playlist?! Unmatched. The Master P songs were such a fun touch.

The sushi was incredible, the service was impeccable, and James, our sushi chef, was phenomenal. Every detail made the night feel special without being pretentious.

A huge shoutout to Julie for going above and beyond and making our experience so enjoyable.

Great food, incredible atmosphere, the best music, and exceptional service. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“I've drove by many times by and i never see it open, up until now. Perhaps I've been in many places here in Nashville to express my humble opinion but I must say, this is the best and authentic Japanese place I've eaten! May not look fancy and/or out of date but I can assure that the food isn't! Stop by, you would like it I'm sure of it.
When we got there, we saw a few tables with empty plates, this speaks louder that words honestly lol“

“Omg they have full-service caviar for lunch!! I am in love with this place. Beautiful decor, super artsy, hip, and sheik at at once. I ordered the caviar with crispy rice, Chardonnay, toro nigiri and uni nigiri. The food is so good! The price point is high so I’m probably in trouble. But couple all that with the good music they play too? I’m definitely coming back!!! My new favorite sushi spot 🎉“

“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.“

“Such a fun and absolute delicious experience!! Date night for my husband and I and it was nice because we brought along our toddler who was able to run around the L&L market while we both took turns enjoying the freshest hand rolls!! Staff is so pleasant and on top of everything! The owner Arthur is really cool too!! Can’t wait to come back!!!“

“You can tell how good a sushi restaurant is by their sushi rice, and this place did not disappoint! Came in due to close proximity to my hotel, and so happy I found this place! The food was fabulous, but the service was even better! Sat at the bar and had the lucky experience to chat with their bartender, Marybeth. She is incredibly kind, had great recommendations (food as well as city recs), and made the night extremely memorable! Thank you so much for a great experience and looking forward to recommending to my friends who visit!“

“Delish! 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!“

“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!“

“Absolutely LOVE their sushi!! Recommend #9 and the San Francisco Rolls!! Delicious 😋 10 Stars“

“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! 😝“

“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.“

“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!“

“Visited this place twice during my short stay in Nashville for a conference because the food and service was solid. The sushi and udon were both delicious, and of great quality. It’s Korean-owned, and the restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and spacious with plenty of seating. Highly recommend!“

“I have been to this location once loved everything about it. Service, decor food everything! Ordered by DoorDash and I’m never disappointed. The true star of the show is the food, particularly the rolls and appetizers! I am obsessed!! Chefs kiss!🥰“

“We ate here for lunch, and a week later for dinner. Both times the food was wonderful! Perfectly seasoned and served hot and promptly. And we had enough to take home for another meal. The staff was solicitous and knowledgeable. The lunch is a real bargain. Take home and in the restaurant and both taste great! Try it.“

“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.“

“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 🙏🏾.“

“Horu Sushi was a solid surprise. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and a salmon avocado roll and both tasted fresh with good texture. The rice was seasoned properly and the rolls held together well. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. Great for a fast sushi fix.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Attended a private dinner here in the upstairs private dining room. With the exception of the sushi the food was outstanding. I had the sea bass and my partner had the filet. Both cooked to perfection. The filet was perfectly cooked and melt in your mouth. Staff was attentive and friendly. This is definitely on our list for a repeat diner when in town. Beats Je** Ruby*’* hands down !“

“Good food and always consistant.“

“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“

“I can’t say enough about our dining experience! This restaurant is on my TOP list here in Nashville and I will now frequent. Everything from start to finish was superb! Our waiter Sid was nothing g more than AMAZING and the manager was very nice and came by to say hello! The FOOOOOD was SO good it’s definitely worth it!!“

“There are so many people who work in the food industry that hate their job and they let you know with how they communicate. Charles at Eastern Peak is the opposite. He loves his job and it shows in his service and care. So refreshing. Thanks Charles!“

“The crab fried rice is the absolute best and more importantly, Trever, the manager has the best customer service skills! Absolutely love this place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“My experience at Skye Lounge was enjoyable. The atmosphere is refined and inviting, while the view is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the experience. The setting has a distinctive charm, and enjoying an evening against such a beautiful backdrop certainly makes the visit feel special.

I also want to offer a fair and transparent perspective on the food. We ordered the sushi boat, and while it was perfectly pleasant, it did not quite reach the level we had anticipated. If Publix sushi were the baseline, I would place it about two levels above—good and nicely presented, but not particularly remarkable. There was certainly nothing wrong with it; our expectations were simply a bit higher given the setting and price point.

Interestingly, after reading through other reviews, this seems to be a recurring sentiment. Many guests appear to praise the atmosphere and views while expressing more moderate opinions about the food. Of course, taste is subjective, and everyone’s experience may differ, but our impression was fairly consistent with that general theme.

Skye Lounge is also on the more expensive side. We spent approximately $100, which felt somewhat high when considering the food alone. However, it is important to recognize that the price reflects more than what is on the plate. You are also paying for the exceptional view, the ambiance, and the experience of being in such a beautiful setting. With that perspective, the cost feels more understandable.

Ultimately, I think Skye Lounge is best appreciated with the right expectations. The view and atmosphere are the true highlights, while the food is a pleasant complement to the experience.

I would recommend visiting at least once. For me, it would likely be a one-time experience, but one I am glad to have had. An exceptional view, an elegant atmosphere, and decent food—worth experiencing for the setting alone.“

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

“Incredible food, the Pho is the best and the sushi is really good also. Great food.“

“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!“

“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“
