25 Best Japanese Restaurants near Hendersonville

“We ordered catering for 10 people. Everyone loved it. It made the party so much better, especially having no kitchen mess, and it was an automatic hit. There were 10 of us and there was still plenty of leftovers, and I watched people go back for seconds and thirds.“

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

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

“This is one of our “go to” places. It’s an older building and decor but that’s not why we go there so no biggie for us. The wait staff, usually just one person, can be a lil slow if they are busy. The food tho, it’s delicious and plenty of it. I enjoy the Steak and Shrimp Hibachi plate, really enjoy it. If you’re hungry this is a stop for you.“

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

“It was delicious!! Can’t wait to come back.“

“Can't say enough good things about this place. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious & the staff are phenomenal. They really go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your time here. Do not skip out on the crab fried rice, lobster bao buns or the wagyu tartare, SO GOOD!“

“Formerly Bonfire Grill, Fukutoku is a fresh and trendy take on Hibachi. The restaurant was completely renovated and updated to draw in a younger crowd. The sushi menu is wonderful and the service is great. There is a sports bar area with an anime inspired decore. A Habachi entertainment side, very family-friendly, but also a great spot to hang with friends or take a date. There is a private room available as well.“

“Red ninja is my new favorite sushi joint. First, the staff is very friendly and attentive. Its normally not crowed ( which is why I hesitate to write this review ) the sushi is very fresh, the wasabi is good, and his creations are unique. Red Ninja also has fair pricing, now a days its hard to find a sushi roll for less than $15 yet I don't think one roll on his menu is over $15 and most of the basic items are less than $9. Keep up the good work and I'll keep coming!“

“Best Thai food in Middle Tennessee and best Panang Curry I have EVER had! So much flavor. I wasn’t able to get our waiters name unfortunately, but he was incredible and his recommendations were spot on. Our 1.5 year old daughter was getting a little antsy and he brought her food out so quickly without us even having to ask! My husband loved his Katsu ramen and our daughter loved her chicken fried rice. The ambience was great, too! We can’t wait to come back!Dietary restrictions: All of the curry’s are gluten free!“

“This is NOT a place to skip if you want really good Thai food than not only taste fantastic but it’s fresh and the presentation is beautiful! We have lived here for almost 6 months now and have been everywhere almost twice before deciding to come here. My son had the Beef Teriyaki with noodles instead of white rice, I had a California roll that taste better than any California roll I’ve ever ate, and my wife had Red Chicken Curry with rice. We all picked off each others plate and loved all of it.For appetizers we all shared the Heart Attack, if you like jalapeños you will definitely love this one it’s very balanced with heat, the spring rolls were delicious and Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna was fantastic too.It was A lot of food but we ate pretty much all of it and don’t even feel bloated full like most restaurants make you feel. Hands down one of our new favorite places.For drinks, the Rumchata Thai Tea was really good, the Old Hickory Sour was a little sour but nothing to complain about for sure. We were not very impressed with the Tennessee mule but hey, it’s a bourbon drink at a Thai place so also nothing to complain about.Don’t skip this restaurant on your next time out for something different. I hope this review helps you choose your next spot to eat.“

“Sushi is always fresh. Great service.“

“I’ve lived in Nashville for three years, and I have a passion for great foot, experiences and food & wine/beverage pairings. I have tried so many different sushi and Japanese cuisine style restaurants and none of them even come close to Sapporo in Gallatin.From price point, to quality of food to the customer service and the freshness of their fish - this place is one of my favorite restaurants.I have become so comfortable with this place, the owner stops and hugs me every time.From the hamachi Kama (huuuge portion at a great price and the dipping sauce is out of this world) to the sashimi style sushi - eel, salmon, octopus, yellowtail, omg the eel… CHEFS KISS.I almost didn’t write this review because I don’t want Nashville to find out about this hidden gem hahahahaStop in, try the hot plum sake, try the shumai (served with mustard - so crazy and risky since it’s mustard but ITS INCREDIBLE) and indulge in the sushi! You’ll love this place.“

“Great menu with rolls we have never seen or had. Prices were pretty good for sushi and the Ramen bowl sushi combo seems like a great deal for $20. A bit disappointed by the draft Sapporo. We normally get a can and was looking forward to draft but is was not very carbonated and was not very cold. I'd rather have received the can. Rolls were good size, well made and fresh tasting. I would recommend the ahi seared tuna salad as you get good amount of tuna that way and was delicious with ginger dressing. Conveniently located near our hotel and just down the road is a great ice cream parlor for dessert! Note: we were going to have the fried brownie dessert but they were out of ice cream (? Pssst..younext door to a grocery store). Overall was great place to check out if you like sushi. Next time I'll try the Ramen as they did look great and you can choose type of broth, protein which is cool.“

“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.“

“Outstanding. Quality is amazing. They do not skimp. If we lived nearby we'd eat here weekly; we were in Nashville two nights, ate here for dinner both nights. I ordered from the "diet menu" -- really should be called the "sauce on the side" menu -- and the dish came loaded with veggies, with an amazing garlic sauce. They also make the best mei fun I've had in my life.“

“Stopped by on sunday with mt fiance we loved it. Best sushi and miso ive had in awhile i can not wait to come back this weekend to try out more of the menu. Even though were not from gallatin its worth the hour drive from bowling green for us.“

“This place was pretty good! I got the crab rangoon, chicken salad, and 2 rolls for $30. I love how the chicken came separately from the salad so if you weren't ready to eat it, nothing got soggy. The food was ready pretty quickly and it tasted yummy. The inside was a super cute walk up counter with a few tables to sit at if you decide to dine in.“

“I’ve come here a few times now and familiar with the other location/ food truck. I was extremely impressed each visit in the quality of the food, the customer service, and overall feeling of cleanliness and quality demonstrated by the staff! If you are in the area I highly recommend trying, especially the spicy fried rice!“

“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“

“Absolutely amazing food and prices!!“

“We went for a friend's birthday and everything was wonderful! We were seated promptly per our reservation. Our server was sweet and stayed on top of refills for our drinks. One member of our group had a seafood allergy, which we mentioned to our server. It wasn't mentioned to our chef until he got to our table. As soon as he heard of the seafood allergy, he promptly apologized and took all the food trays back to the kitchen to ensure there was no cross-contamination. He was friendly and accommodating. And our food was wonderful!! We all had a great time.“

“Hibachi Jr. is incredible. This is the first time I’ve seen hibachi-quality food through a drive-through. The menu can be a bit pricey, but it is quality food, and we've always had excellent service. Check this place out if you haven't yet! Their crab rangoons are epic, and we always ask for our hibachi dinners to have just broccoli and carrots for the veggies. For only $1 upcharge, it's worth it.“

“I ate at the sushi bar, Jose was my sushi chef, the food was amazing. Very little rice lots of fish. Jose did an excellent job. I’ve eaten sushi on the East Coast and West Coast Jose and his preparation of the sushi was my top five locations so far.Matt“

“Delish! Highly recommend!“
