50 Best Sushi Bars in Nashville

“I want to take a moment to praise Sam & Cody for outstanding customer service. Everyone at this store is typically friendly, prompt, and customer experience oriented. I had a catering order today and Cody even helped me to my car. They always acknowledge me when I walk through the door, always keep me posted, and always deliver the best service possible. They are collectively always absolutely a pleasure!“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“Okay so we met the owner who was absolutely amazing!!! She has a standard of if she personally will not eat her food she will not serve it to other people. The food flavor wise was amazing, portion sizes to cost ratio are above and beyond with ample amounts of food. We were not able to finish all of our food. I could see myself driving 5 hours back here to make a day trip just to eat her food again!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Their kfc chicken wings are fantastic !! we live in AL and we drove 3 hours to TN to get here, sooo worth it!! The staff are always so Nice and welcoming. 5 stars all day“

“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 🙏🏾.“

“This sushi place really surprised me. I had passed by it so many times without trying it, but I’m glad I finally did. The food was fresh, flavorful, and better than I expected. Definitely a pleasant surprise and a spot I’ll be visiting again.“

“We started going here when my daughter was diagnosed with cancer. We frequent the children’s hospital nearby. And I have tried different rolls, the headbanger shrimp, and the pot stickers. Not once have I been disappointed in the food. Thank you for the great food during our hospital stays with our little one.“

“Delish! Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Beautiful presentation of food and kind staff!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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...“

“Good food and always consistant.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“So first of all excellent experience all around beautiful place beautiful views easy to get to easy to self park in the Sheraton garage . 10/10 service from our server Connor and the hostess Anniesia . Both employees were kind sweet and very welcoming . The negative isn’t shocking . The garage is $15 for two hours we missed it by 3 min and we had to pay $35 so if you go be back 2 min before the 2 hour mark ! great night out for our anniversary thank you Skye Lounge team . what we ordered was a 10/10 and from 5pm-6pm full sushi rolls are half off“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Clean but small buffet. Sushi is better than Ming court in Dickson, worth the drive from Dickson. They had fried calamari this time! Sushi and grill also included.

With today's skyrocketing prices, this place won't cost much more than a burger meal deal, and you get SOOOO much more.

I always leave stuffed!“

“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“

“Amazing food and great service.“

“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!“

“Great food and music go visit“

“Had a great Thai meal! The tropical sushi was a standout—fresh mango, strawberry, avocado, and crispy shrimp tempura blended perfectly. The Panang curry was rich and flavorful, and the spring rolls were crisp and delicious. Everything tasted amazing. I’ll definitely be back!“
