“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.“

“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!“

“First time trying them out Was referred by ALOT of ppl And i must say —> Everything was AMAZING down to the ginger dressing on the salad 🤤🤤😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🤩 1000/10 !!!!! I WILL FOR SURE BE BACK 😊😊🤤🤤“

“Kisser was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. The service, ambiance, and food were all exceptional, and in a caliber of their own, especially here in Nashville. The beef tartare is a MUST as are the onigiri for appetizers. The caramel miso Creme brulee has amazing depth and is on point across all categories. The venue is small, so you may have to wait but it is WELL worth it!“

“Some of the BEST flavors and service in Nashville. The drinks and dishes are a cut above. I cannot wait to go back 😍❤️“

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

“Super delightful! They stayed open for our party of 12 for an extra hour. They were so nice and accommodating! The food and show was amazing! Definitely will be back. I think her name is Diane, she was amazing! Only thing I would suggest is using better booze in your mixed drinks!!“

“Sushi-San truly went above and beyond for us. I accidentally made our reservation for the wrong date, and on one of the busiest nights of the year! New Year’s Eve! The incredibly kind and accommodating staff (wish I knew all their names) still managed to fit my husband, our baby, and me in. I was beyond grateful for their generosity and understanding. It was my husband’s birthday, and had they not helped us, the night honestly would have been a disaster (NYE restaurant crowds are no joke!). On top of the outstanding hospitality, the food was absolutely phenomenal! It’s fresh, delicious, and brought out quickly despite how busy they were. We decided to get the soft-serve on our way out and it was the perfect ending to our evening!! 10/10 experience. We highly recommend Sushi-San and will definitely be back. Next time, I promise I’ll double-check the reservation date!“

“Enjoyed absolutely everything we ate! Service was perfect too. Must haves are the cotton candy bacon, lobster appetizer, wedge salad, steak. Sides were scrumptious as well. We will be back for sure! Highly recommend.“

“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“

“I love this place, mom and pop owned. Great food, friendly service. Prices are great. For what you would pay at a fast food for junk you can have real meat, veggies and rice. Hands down a much better option. They cook everything fresh to order and have drive thru!!“

“This is FAST, GOOD food. It's kinda surprising how good it is. Elvis is the owner and he really knows what he's doing. High quality ingredients and you can taste it when you take your first bite. He's got his team trained well. Every single time, it's perfection.

Oh, and the cheapest place in town for scallops!

Not much on atmosphere, but I found out that most of their business is drive through. Good for them. If you're a drive through kind of person, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food here.“

“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.“

“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“

“They had excellent Sushi 🍱 and very friendly people“

“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!“

“We love Ichiban! We tried them when they first opened and it was good but not great. However our subsequent visits have been outstanding. Their seared dumplings are delicious with a beautiful crispy lace skirt. They offer build your own Mongolian bowls and the ingredients are super fresh with lots of options. We also love the steak hibachi because it’s always cooked beautifully. They have the best boba Thai tea in the area for an affordable price. Overall a must try if you like good Asian food!“

“We have had take out many times prior tonight and always a delicious meal. Unfortunately tonight was not! My meal was a large beef,noodles and vegetables. The plate was 80% noodles, 10 % beef, which was tasteless and chewy, % 20 vegetables which were tasteless. Will have to rethink ordering again.
Well we ordered again and the meals for both of us were outstanding! I take back what the meal prior to tonight was about. Beef was not chewy, a nice mix mixture of veggies and noodles. You have won me back to your drive for excellent food and service. 👏👏👏“

“Sushi Bar is by far the best restaurant and experience not only in Nashville but in the country! Yes it is expensive but worth every penny! My husband Stan and I frequent there and it is truly our favorite place. Not only is the food exceptional but the ambiance and experience! The ladies when you check in, to Daniel, to all the chefs! We especially love Gage and Duncan!“

“Excellent service and helpful service“

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

“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.“

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

“AMAZING! 10/10 Delicious food that came out fast and beautiful. Highly recommend for a delightful lunch or dinner!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I went here today and got the crab lovers roll and some green tea. the food was excellent and very fresh and the owners were super nice! I absolutely recommend Sushi Circle.“

“Quick and profesional service. Clean place. Rather quiet patrons. Lots of choices of sushi. Pretty good quality. Generous portion (and also of ginger and wasabi). We ordered Kim roll, spider roll, and twang roll (the best because of the sweet mango).“

“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!“

“I use door dash on the app Rice box doesn't not allow special instructions at all . I place a call to Rice box they said my food was already done it wasn't but a few minutes after I placed order.. when the order got picked up they said that it was cooked extra spicy and extra crispy. pitched the food will not be back.“

“Great Sushi at a great value. Service was incredible!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and great service.“

“We ended up here as a last minute change of plans for our 7 year wedding anniversary dinner. Don't judge me. We had the best first time experience at MoriMori than I think we've ever had as far as first times go. We'd never been here before. Our waiter was fantastic!! He had suggestions from the drinks to the appetizers and our meal! The food we had was absolutely amazing! So many new flavors in my mouth. I cannot say enough, this place was a 10!!! We will absolutely be back!!!“

“Delish! Highly recommend!“
