An incredible all around experience. Very high quality food and drinks with excellent staff and a very diverse menu. Despite being a little more expensive for a night out, the quality of the yakitori made up for smaller than average portions. For the small plates, I probably would not order the gyoza again even though it was very good but the takoyaki was excellent. I will definitely be back to try all the offerings.

The food is passable. Nothing really to write home about. Service is polite and prompt. Try the takoyaki.

First time here, we were looking for a ramen place. The menu online might look a little overwhelming but we took the time to google the ingredients (lol). Out of the places that were options, we are both SO thankful we chose this location. Our server Julien was legit 10/10!! He made suggestions and also asked us questions to make sure we liked what we were ordering. My fiance and I both agree that he played a great part in our experience. As far as the drinks and food… again 10/10!!!

This is my first time leaving a 1 star review but I feel it is important to let people know. The seaweed tastes like printer paper. The wasabi tastes like a sock that didn't get fully dried on the first dryer cycle. The salmon is just mushy cardboard. I really hate leaving these types of reviews but I've never had a worse experience. The servers don't communicate. It really seems like they're all participating in a competition to get as many steps in as possible because if you blink for a second after they hand you the food they dissapear into thin air. As I'm writing this I just recieved a miso soup because it is physically impossible to force myself to eat my rolls and it is saltier than the soy sauce. I assume the majority of the five star reviews come from people who don't have much access to Japanese cuisine because I've eaten this type of food nearly every single state in the country and this wins the trophy for the absolute worst overall. This is a place where only SELECT appetizers are worth coming for. The mochi just came out. I joked to my younger brother that they were gonna bring out some of the target pre packaged mochi. To my astonishment, they brought out the toughest pre packaged mochi I've ever had. Though it was the only good item, likely because the mochi obviously wasn't made in their kitchen. Seriously save your money and go to smaller places that specialize in one or two things. This is the equivalent of burger king trying to do Japanese food. Except the burger king is in the middle of an active warzone and the only person cooking is one of Elon Musk's weird robot people. If you want ramen, a better option is a 50 cent pack of cup noodle.

I never write reviews but had to share this awful experience. Went with two friends. I could only put certain amount on company card and put the rest on an other ticket. We tipped above 20% on the tab that wasn’t paid with company card for the total of both tickets. The waiter went out of way to FOLLOW me outside with a smart a** comment about not tipping him. Although he should have never done that even if we tipped none. I am furious he did that after we tipped above 20% on the ticket. Entitlement at its finest. I will never return to this restaurant and support a place that hired people who treat people like that.

This was one of the best lunch experiences I have had in Nashville. The bento boxes were such a great value, and we definitely got our money's worth!! We got the poke bento and the kushiyaki with skirt steak and shared. The skirt steak usually comes well, but I asked for it on the rarer side, and it was PERFECT. We also felt weird about not getting ramen, so we added soft eggs to our plates, and I highly recommend it. I also got a side of the pickled mustard greens. Every single thing was so flavorful and satisfying. The poke box came with lemon on the side, and we added it to the crispy brussels, which were already perfect, but I recommend the zing. 10000/10 amazing lunch. Thank you for the experience

Options for EVERYONE, and the dishes are well executed, come out quickly. Ramen, sushi, skewers, appetizers, all delivered.
Vegans - had a goto option in each part of the menu, and the waiter knew the options and was glad to cover them.
Vibe - it’s a great place to hang and have a good time, good crowd and service.
Alcohol alternatives - Mocktails available to complement the bar
Love the complex it is in… dessert right around d the corner!
The food was amazing. Small plates are perfect for sharing. Drinks are creative and well executed. Our waitress Ashley is very sweet, helpful, and attentive. It is very crowded and loud at dinnertime on a Saturday, which was to be expected. If you have sensory issues, I would suggest going early ir possibly a weekday. Reservations are needed to avoid a long wait.

If there's one thing that gets me going, it's a good bowl of ramen. And let me tell you, Two Ten Jack in Nashville knows how to deliver.Walking into this joint, you're hit with that familiar aroma that instantly transports you to the bustling streets of Tokyo. The ambiance? Think dimly lit, with a vibe that screams urban cool. But enough about the aesthetics, let's talk about what really matters: the food.I opted for the tonkotsu ramen with a side of spicy miso because, let's face it, I love that heat. And boy, did it pay off. After gently mixing the spice, mayu, and broth, the fusion of flavors, the perfect balance of heat and richness, it was like a symphony in my mouth.The tonkotsu broth? Rich, flavorful, with layers of complexity that kept me coming back for more. And those noodles? Cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of chew to make each bite a delight. But let's not forget about the chashu, because no bowl of ramen is complete without it. Tender, succulent, and bursting with flavor, it was the cherry on top of an already stellar dish.If like me, you're seeking that umami hit, Two Ten Jack hit all notes. What let us down in that experience was their Japanese Fried Chicken. You're expecting a crunchy bite, packed with flavor. It wasn't quite right there.But enough, so here's the deal: if you find yourself in Nashville craving a taste of the Far East, Two Ten Jack is the place to be. Trust me, it's worth every slurp.

This was my second visit to Two Ten Jack. The first time I was sat solo at the bar next to a few people having an x-rated conversation not entirely to themselves but that's a story for another time. I did enjoy that meal, but realized immediately I'd need to return with a dining companion. We ordered a few items from each part of the menu and enjoyed everything. The takoyaki was our favorite small plate but the competition was tight. We did a few bites of sushi, the octopus again was a favorite. We got a few different kushiyaki, we loved them all except perhaps the eggplant, it was a bit mushy and the sauce too sugary. I got the abura soba with egg and country ham, it was so delicious but I had to take half home as I was full to the gills. The cocktails looked very tempting and as well thought out as the food. And the atmosphere is very nice, Will definitely be back, but ill stick to the table with my own weirdo friends.

We had our Friday date night dinner here. We came early around 5 pm and the place was already packed! Glad that we booked a table in avance otherwise it would’ve been a long wait. The restaurant has a good relaxing bar vibe. In terms of the food:- Crispy Rice + Spicy Tuna - stick crispy rice with a slice of tuna sashimi. We loved this one - good bite size, the crispiness of the rice was amazing and the spicy tuna added extra flavor and a kick, making the whole dish fantastic. Highly recommend for a starter.- Tonkatsu Ramen - the texture of the noodles were okay, don’t feel like they were “Ra” or pulled. The BBQ pork was good, tender and got a smoky flavor in it. The soup was good too, not too salty but got a dense flavor. If it were thicker, it would have been perfect.Overall, we liked the spot - good food and a variety choice of drinks and pretty relaxing bar vibe. Definitely recommend for a friends hanging out group or a dinner spot for couples / families.
