32 Best Sushi Bars in Nashville

“Whenever I get food from this place it has always been through Uber Eats. This time I decided to eat indoors as I was in the area with my partner. Walking in, there is a sushi bar where you can sit in front of the chef as they make fresh sushi, or you can sit on the left where the tables are. We opted for the table. There are photos and varying art pieces ranging from news articles about the restaurant, past visitors or shots from Japan that tie into the experience. We ordered the Hurricane Roll, Jane Roll, Eel Roll, Yellowtail roll, Smoked Salmon Nigiri and another Nigiri that I cant remember(Maybe Tuna). The Hurricane roll was the best! The Jalapeño added a perfect contrast and kick to the fish. After having it delivered and eating in person, I have to say that it tastes better in person vs having it delivered. If you're looking for sushi in Midtown, Samurai will not disappoint.“

“My husband and I had a pre honeymoon get away to Nashville. We love sushi and were highly reccomended this restaurant… It was an amazing experience. Best sushi we’ve ever had and atmosphere/server was incredible!! We will be back ♥️“

“This place is a hidden gem!! Best sushi I've had in Nashville and so affordable. It's a must visit if you're looking for good sushi!“

“This is almost as perfect as a lounge could be. Excellent service with sweeping views of the city. Layout was elegant with upbeat background music that was noticeable but permitting conversation. I had my trusty old fashioned which gave me the expected satisfaction. I ventured to have the disco inferno cocktail which had a presentation as potent as its smoky flavor and strength. I would recommend slow easy sips on this one!“

“The new owners are super lovely and the food is absolutely amazing! It is fresh and cooked on the spot. You can really taste the difference! You can watch them make the sushi in front of you.Dietary restrictions: If you let them know of any allergies they will work around them. They are very obliging!“

“Food ready in five minutes. Great service good food.“

“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!“

“The best steak dinner I have ever had. Our wait staff was spectacular and so was the atmosphere!“

“Delicious!!!& the customer service is incredible, I will definitely come back here again, food is delicious but including the service you get in there… prefect!?Plenty of food for the price you pay, & it’s fresh, you can tell!The place is very clean & the area where they have the toppings for each bowl is very clean too, I added a picture of the workers from there, they are very nice & they made sure you get everything you need?Highly, highly recommend!“

“The rolls were flavorful and really a decent size for this era of shrinkflation…authentic food means authentic prices $15.00 per specialty roll DEFINITELY worth it. They serve premium beer, sake, and I enjoyed the plum wine. The atmosphere was amiss because the chef used hot chili oil which smoked out the entire establishment…this was a rare cook mishap. We will be going back soon, unfortunately they are closed on Mondays!Vegetarian options: Miso soup“

“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.“

“First time to the River House in Nashville. Incredibly impressed with all aspects of this restaurant. We arrived a little early and waited at the bar for just a few minutes the bar staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and served excellent drinks. We were seated in a excellent part of the restaurant and felt extremely careful for period everyone from our waiter to the salad girl and hostess were all well trained and do their jobs extremely well. The food was incredible accidentally prepared. We really enjoyed our evening at the River House. “

“O-Ku is my absolute favorite restaurant EVER! I take all my friends and family and it’s the best spot for a romantic date! The food is always so delicious and beautifully presented. The whole atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is the best service I’ve ever had. Everyone is so nice, helpful, and genuinely friendly. My favorite servers all work here and I’m not the only regular who would say the same. I love you O-Ku Nashville! Shout out to some great servers I’ve had and highly recommend: Leah (the cool environmental enthusiast), Chance (the jokester with the biggest smile), and Ally (the crafty gal with the coolest handmade earrings and the sweetest heart). Food recommendations: PLEASE try the omokase. It is a 6 course tasting meal that is different every time you come in. I’ve had the best dishes from this meal and the nigiri are always so delicious. But honestly, I recommend anything and EVERYTHING. To start- king pao Cauliflower. Hot dish- get the Tokyo chicken bowl. Sashimi- the usuzukari or hamachi carpachio. From the robata grill- kamo negi (duck breast). A sushi roll- the playboy. Also the have O-toro, Uni, and so many specialty fishes like kin medai and shima aji!!!!“

“If you dare to venture way down Nolensville Pike you'll be rewarded with this locals-favorite. The shopping center has all kinds of international markets and restaurants so we are excited to go back and try other places as well. The interior is cozy with a sushi bar and small tables. There were a lot of families here because it's casual and the portion sizes are good. They have a robust menu with Japanese and Korean entrees and sushi. I ordered the Jap Chae which is a Korean dish of glass noodles, sauteed peppers and beef. This comes with all the amazing Korean sides of kimchi and other accoutrements. My favorite was a spiced cold potato and I also devoured the cucumbers. The serving size is unreal--I had to get a to-go box and ate this for like 3 days after! My husband ordered the chicken katsu which was also a good portion and he didn't eat all of it too. The women who were working there were so kind and came over to check on us several times. We would come back here since everything was great.“

“Sushi is always fresh. Great service.“

“Sublime food and service.“

“So far the best onion volcano and train ever!“

“Friendly staff, beautiful restaurant, and probably the best foods I’ve ever had! I highly recommend this place“

“Amazing overall experience! Seated in a great booth for the two of us. Had plenty of space for cocktails, wine and appetizers. Our waitress was 5 stars! So sweet, helpful and patient and all smiles, super friendly. She made the experiences even better! Scallops were delicious and cooked perfectly. Partner got the bacon wrapped stuff shrimp which were also perfectly prepared and very tasty. Cocktails were yummy and a massive wine selection which we loved including half bottle options. Def recommend and def will return! Can't wait to try the steak and salmon too.“

“I don't know why this place is not more busy! It was so good. The hot miso soup hit the spot in the cold Nashville weather and the rolls were amazing. We got the how-we-roll roll and it was so good. A bit off the beaten path but definitely worth the short walk.“

“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.“

“Beautiful presentation of food and kind staff!“

“OMG THIS PLACE WAS SO GOOD! I stopped here for a family dinner with my parents and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of the dishes, as well as the staff. It was quick, delicious, and an amazing experience all-in-all. I love the ambience as well, it felt very high class for a relatively cheap sushi bar.“

“Sushi is always fresh. Great service.“

“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.“

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

“This is a hidden gem in Nashville. Such great sushi and a really nice, quiet atmosphere. I've come here a few times now and have always enjoyed my meal and the service. A favorite spot for sushi in Nashville and a place I will return to again and again!“

“Excellent food and service. Everything we had was fresh and delicious.“

“Best sushi in Nashville hands down, very fresh and a different twist. Very cozy, and clean, the master chef is a great chef and as nice a person as they come, he truly has a passion for good sushi“

“Really nice environment and the food was amazing, highly recommend!“

“Jerry is the best funniest greeter! The floor staff are friendly and knowledgeable. And the sushi chefs are so skilled and creative every bite is a dream!! Best nigiri, rolls, and nebiaki udon anywhere! Its become a very busy sushi house but retains its custom made-for-you feel.“
