5 stars for vibes and fresh sashimi. The other cooked dishes were either too salty, oily, or overdone. But, definitely willing to come back and try other menu items. The interior is such a good date night vibe!!! We sat at the bar and had a wonderful time. No complaints with service. read more

My husband and I were staying at the JW and decided to try 888. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Love that they offer cavier bumps- it's a delicious addition to a lot of what we had. Ambiance was perfect. Polished causal without being over the top. Enjoyed the music as well. Service was meh though. Even with reservations we felt rushed and as if our server didn't want to be there. We actually left and got dessert at the hotel because we felt so rushed. If we return we would sit at the bar next time. read more

The whole vibe was excellent! A small but quaint restaurant with wonderful atmosphere and service. The food presentation was wonderful and everything tasted awesome. Now don't arrive with the expectation of a quiet meal but the music was on point and guests were definitely enjoying their dining experience! We had a slight delay with our sushi and the resulting dessert for our delay was a delightful and welcome addition to our meal! read more

We came during happy hour when there was no one there yet because the main kitchen was not yet open. We spent a while at the bar just enjoying appetizers and our drinks until the kitchen opened and we quickly got our food and everything was delicious. I also used the bathroom and the toilet water was steaming... so maybe get that checked out? read more

This place is definitely a splurge, but the food is delicious. You're paying a bit more for the ambiance and location, but it's worth it for a special outing. The cocktails were a highlight, and the fried chicken did not disappoint. The complimentary seaweed chips were a nice touch. Staff is also incredibly helpful guiding you through the menu. Just be prepared to spend a bit more, as portions lean toward tapas-style. read more

Went here solo and I'm really glad I did. I sat at the bar bar and had a great time. The food was amazing, the vibes impeccable and the staff super friendly. I had the yellow tail, 888 roll and chu toro nigiri. One small point off because the chef didn't put wasabi under the fish on the nigiri. The vinyl collection is impressive and so fun that they have someone spinning them live every night. If you like sushi and cool places you have to check it out! read more

We did the Kiichi's Korner experience and it was totally worth it! The ambiance at this restaurant is well thought out. It's got a very modern chic lounge vibe and there's a live DJ spinning vinyl all night. The cost for the experience is $150pp and you definitely get your money's worth. We arrived at 8 and were eating until 11, with more credits left over that we just couldn't finish. After the otoshi and chef's selection, each person has $75 of credit to order anything else on the menu, which we used on more drinks and dessert. Would definitely recommend the 5pm slot to allow for more time before the kitchen closes! The server was very attentive and it was so nice to talk with chef Kiichi through the night! It's clear he loves his craft and it shows in his work. I've done omakase before but this was a lot more intimate and better paced for the slower eaters like myself! No question, I would do this again. Thanks to Chef Kiichi and the wonderful staff!! read more

888 is not a restaurant, it's a psychological operation. First time I walked in I thought, "Oh... I'm not rich enough to be here, but they're letting me stay." By the third visit I was fully expecting someone to wipe my ass, moisturize my hands, and whisper affirmations about my potential. They don't but the vibe suggests they could. The food is unhinged in the best way. Sushi that has no business being this seductive. Salads dressed better than me. Chicken that tastes like it was raised on generational wealth and classical music. Every plate shows up looking like it wants applause. You eat it and immediately start making irresponsible life plans. I have to space my visits out because my bank account starts sweating. Like actively shaking. This is a "once in a while until I get promoted, married rich, or commit light fraud" type of place. Still? Worth every dollar and mild financial panic. Staff is mostly immaculate. I did get one server who was dry and slightly rude but listen, I'm not here for therapy. I'm here to chew. Humans have moods. I lived. The food still changed me. Music? Loud, sexy, and disrespectful. Decor? Aggressively hot. The entire place feels like confidence, poor decisions, and a credit card with no spending limit. read more

I came here awhile back and this place was a good treat night. The food is fancy, the drinks are fun and elevated but I will say this was not the best sushi in town. You come here for the listening nights which as of late they have not been doing much of. They used to post a monthly calendar and now it's either much more secretive or they are really only doing sushi. The food was good but it wasn't memorable and I haven't been back since. It's a bit of a bummer because this place has a killer location and it was really exciting when it first opened. I hope they start back up the listening sessions again. read more

Overall: A great higher end restaurant that has such a cool vinyl concept. The spicy tuna sushi was pretty solid and props to the ube espresso martini! Chicken kaarage was alright for me, but my friend loved it. We chose this for a girls' night out and it did not disappoint. Service: Our server and host were super kind and knowledgeable about the menu / recommendations. Ambiance: So pretty inside and got lots of great photo ops :) read more

First of all the ambience is such a vibe it's dimly lit. The sushi chef is right next to the Dj and there's final behind the Dj the art and the decor is so fire. Sat at the bar. Got the salmon Love roll and the crunchy tuna roll with the crispy rice and the Nori chips. BEST FOOD IVE HAD IN NASHVILLE. Jocie (our server) is amazing.

I took my fiancé here for his birthday. The album feature of the night was "The Internet". This is a very busy vibrant place, which made it very hard to enjoy the music and hear it. The vibes were amazing though. My espresso martini was sooo good and strong! Overall I give the food 5 out of 10. Nothing to rave about. I won't come back for dinner again, but I can definitely see myself stopping by for happy hour. Also, parking is validated if you park at the JW Marriott, which was very convenient. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would--888 Sushi Bar is one of the very best in Nashville! The food was unforgettable. The tempura asparagus was outstanding--perfectly crispy, incredibly delicious, and full of flavor with every bite. The jalapeño salmon roll was also amazing--fresh, flavorful, and simply perfect. Honestly, these two are a must-try if you're ever in town! A little tip: the restaurant is a bit tricky to find--it's tucked on the corner of 8th and Clark. You can valet at the JW Marriott, and the restaurant will validate your parking (up to 4 hours), which makes it super convenient. The vibe is intimate and upscale, so definitely dress up a little and make reservations ahead of time. Service was also outstanding--my server, Babs, went above and beyond and made the night extra special. To top it all off, I was treated to a complimentary dessert--emoji ice cream in birthday cake flavor--which was just perfect! I paired it with a cup of green tea that was smooth and delicious. From start to finish, everything was truly outstanding. If you're looking for a top-notch sushi experience in Nashville, this is the place. read more

My wife Sam and I went to 888 for my birthday and we both really liked it. The place has a great vibe with stylish décor, a super cool vinyl wall, and a DJ spinning vinyl records. We sat at the sushi bar, which I loved because it felt like we were right in the action but the regular bar and booths looked just as inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly. The cocktails were fantastic. Sam had the "Cheet Code," and I had the Matcha Mezcal Sour. The mezcal flavor really stood out, not so much the matcha, but it was still delicious. For appetizers, the yellowtail and jalapeño dish was hands down our favorite, I want to drink that sauce. So fresh and flavorful. The wagyu skewers and chicken skewers were good but skippable next time. I'd rather try their cucumbers or another veggie dish. We shared the whole branzino and it was beautifully cooked, perfectly seasoned, and served with a flavorful aioli. We also tried the hot salmon sushi, which was excellent. And the birthday mochi was a delicious touch at the end, thanks y'all. Overall, 888 is a really cool spot that I'd definitely recommend to anyone visiting Nashville who wants an elevated and interesting sushi experience - loved the vibe. read more

A dark and sexy / speakeasy style bar (the entrance is marked with a red light, no sign) with high quality drinks and expensive, elegant bites. We came on a Saturday evening and sat at the bar. The Mezcal Sour ($18) is a must get for me - what a unique drink! The Bravazzi Spritz ($18) was also nice, albeit a but to sweet for me. There was a DJ playing soft, classy music. The staff were upbeat, stylish, and totally jamming with the music too. The food menu was a but too expensive / unconventional for us to want to order anything, so we stuck with drinks :) read more

We came in to Nashville and booked a premium experience dinner [for my husband and I ] with 888 and sat at the sushi bar. I was handed a birthday card upon arrival. The chef was at the end of the sushi bar and expo'd all the sushi dishes that went out. The main sushi Chef was awesome and he kept asking us if we liked the sushi or experience overall. We love the ambience with awesome DJ. The drinks were fabulous so kudos to the bartenders! Our server was exceptional and recommended certain drinks, and she was dead on with everything that she recommended. The next time I'm in Nashville, I will definitely come to this restaurant for another awesome dining experience. read more

When you walk into 888, the ambiance gives sophisticated, speakeasy-esque restaurant with a DJ playing records from their abundant collection. This was one of the things I liked best! They also had a sign on the table saying Happy Birthday and a signed card from some of the staff for my boyfriend's birthday. Our server Wyatt was SO knowledgeable about the menu and drinks, he was easily able to steer us in the direction we wanted to go regarding both drinks and food. He was attentive but not overbearing and knew the menu inside and out. We did the Premium Miyabi experience, which was a great way to try a lot of items on the menu you (at least I) would not normally have picked to try. The premium included items from the sushi menu that was not included from the normal Miyabi experience. Overall the food was good, but nothing was an absolute stand out. I wish we had tried more items off the sushi menu since 888 is known more for this. I wasn't able to get photos of everything because it all looked so delicious we couldn't resist! I would definitely come back and try more sushi next time, and reorder the edamame or cucumbers for an appetizer! read more

First time at 888 and I'm already convinced it's my favorite restaurant in Nashville. The artsy decor and vinyl DJ created such a cool vibe. It felt like a full 360 experience, not just dinner. The crispy tuna, yellowtail with jalapeños, and toro nigiri were all incredible. The raspberry and white chocolate mousse shaped like a tree was stunning and delicious. Happy hour had great drink options, and the service from the manager Luna, host Awn, and bartender Sam was warm and seamless. Amazing food, thoughtful atmosphere, and genuinely kind staff. I'll definitely be back. read more

This restaurant is such a place! I love walking into a restaurant and it just feels like it's going to be a vibe. We just happen to stop in last minute and sat at the bar. I had the expresso martini and it had Ube I believe in it and it was pretty good. And my friend just told the bartender to just make her something light and refreshing and I think he made her some type of lychee martini and she liked it. And we just came from eating somewhere else but I don't know how we ended up ordering fried rice and it was actually pretty good. But I just really like the vibe and ambience in there. I've been trying to go to one of their little things that they be having different days with different types of music spins but haven't made it yet but I am definitely looking forward to attending one of that and just eat and chill with some good music. read more

Birthday celebration for a friend at 888 sushi. We did the Premium Miyabi experience. For $115 you get some craft selections from the chef, and then various items from the regular and sushi menu. We all really enjoyed this experience. There are 3 levels to miyabe. Roughly a $85 option, $115 option and a $195 option. I don't know how anyone would have room for all the food with the $195 option, $115 seemed to be the sweet spot. The ambience of the restaurant is very dark, intimate but also upbeat? They have a DJ, not in the traditional sense but that picks vinyl records from the THOUSANDS and plays them during your meal. Ranging from old rock, grunge rock to modern rap, to chill relaxing tunes. First and foremost I think our servers name was Wyatt? Anywho, he was the most involved, menu knowledgeable server I think I have ever had. The pork wonton had an incredible mix of textures and flavors. The jalapeño salmon was good, very fresh and the jakoenos added a nice kick to the thin cut of salmon and saltiness from the roe. Edamame had a nice chile powder/glaze that is exactly the spice level I want for edamame. Cucumber salad is normally not for me at all, however I believe this cucumber had a slight pickled flavor/vineger and combined with the same chile powder from the edamame was really enjoyable. Next was the egg crème sandwich. I have never had anything like this before so I didn't know what to expect. It was very good, however the egg crème really didn't have much flavor, so it really tasted mostly like a buttered toast sandwhich (not a bad thing). The bone marrow was great, however my piece of the bone marrow had a texture issue that really freaked me out. Typically when I have had bone marrow it is like a jam or jelly and easily sliceable to portion. My bone marrow had the consistency of almost rubber? It was all in one piece and looked like a jellyfish (still tasted great, it just visually freaked me out lol.) Next was a crunchy tuna roll, kind of what you expect nothing stellar. The nigiri was fine about what you would expect from lean tuna and yellowtail. The fried rice with chicken, mushrooms and carrots was savory, had a slight sweetness from a poured in glaze and was delicious. However for the price it appears normally on the menu I don't think I would order again. Lastly the mango shaved ice and matcha cake were fantastic! The ONLY downside I would say to this whole experience was that everything was good, but nothing REALLY REALLY stood out (besides the service and attentiveness to our party.) read more

High end, high quality Japanese food! I'm going to jump straight into the quality - superb! A nice touch/extra step they take with their quality is they state on their menu where they source their seafood directly from - Toyosu market in Tokyo, Japan. I have a hook up there so I got to extensively/exclusively tour the Toyosu market back in 2024. I can confirm - everything there is very fresh and first-rate. I really tasted the premium quality at 888 in their 888 roll; it combines multiple different kinds of fish and each one is sooo buttery soft. The green sauce that comes with the 888 roll on the side is amazing. Never tasted anything like it before; it has a nice kick to it. I asked for a whole side of it and dunked every piece of sushi in it as I went. We went during happy hour, which I recommend. Loved the tuna tataki so much that we had to order another round! I usually don't like eating ginger with my sushi/fish, but it was already rolled into each piece of tuna; no complaints! The flavor combo was excellent. I thought the surf and turf roll was interesting. I didn't taste much lobster, so that was slightly disappointing. David was our bartender/server. He was excellent! He made my friend's drink so good that she had to get another round. She said that was the best lemon drop she has ever had, hands down. I will say, the restaurant is VERY dark. I even made a joke saying their electricity bill must be $5 a month. Eventually, our eyes did adjust but dang, I could barely see when I first walked in. read more

Loved it!!! This place was truly fantastic! The chefs are genius. The different flavors that were in each dish were so unique and really hit. I absolutely love this ambience for a good date night. It has a great vibe. They had a live DJ who was spinning some really good music, old school like Sade. My only drawbacks were there was not a ton of sushi selection, but on the flipside of that, the sushi was absolutely fabulous. Everything was incredibly fresh and their spicy mayo was on point. I have to say their sushi roll, not being the most creative, was one of the freshest I've had. The only other thing I felt the price point was a bit high for what it was. It was pretty basic, spicy tuna with some avocado and chives with some sesame seeds on the rice for $25. My daughter got a chicken appetizer. I didn't try it because I don't like fried chicken but she said it was really good. My girlfriend got the Shishido peppers and edamame. This edamame was the best edamame I've ever had. It was chili and garlic, and it was perfect. The Shishido peppers were also really interesting and had tempura flakes on it with scallions, again another win. Our server was so sweet. I thought our food was delivered relatively quickly and everything was honestly terrific. I really love the experience, and we are all left happy. Absolutely love the atmosphere, the freshness of the food, and again the creativity that went into it. read more

This place is hip, sexy, expensive, and pretentious in all the right ways. It has a vibe that seems more East Nashville than downtown Nashville. Everything seems intelligently designed to create a mood/aesthetic, not to rope-in tourists. The ambiance is dark, the cocktails are unique and house-made, and the food is heavily Japanese-inspired. I got a steak here. It was spendy but it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Melt-in-your-mouth good. The cru of this place is finding it, if you are thinking to yourself "there's now way THIS could be it!'...you've found it. read more

Verdict: Man, I feel weird doing it, but it was sadly a 3.5 star experience, max, for us. Maybe we should have gotten something other than the sushi and apps, but the drinks, food, and experience weren't good enough to justify the price. My wife and I came to 888 after hearing about it repeatedly from friends. We arrived a bit early for our reservation but were seated promptly. Took a bit for our server to come over, but once he took our orders, everything moved quickly. I loved the details to the decor: the wall slats and sliding wood doors, the small individual tables of different sizes and shapes. It felt eclectic in a non cliche way. I do think it was dimmer than it needed to be, but I may just be getting old. We started off with cocktails (Escape to NY and Fuji Apple Fizz). Neither were mind-blowing but I enjoyed the NY sour with an Asian twist more than my wife did hers. The tallow fries and kushiyaki followed our drinks. Tallow fries had a great crunch on the outside while remaining soft on inside; pretty much a perfect fry. The kushiyaki tasted great but was unfortunately too salty for our tastes. For sushi, we went with the lobster hand roll (delicious, wish there was more), the 888 (meh), and the A5 roll (meh). All around, the food was decent, but not for the price. read more

We had a great dinner here! They validate valet parking at the JW Marriott hotel next door for their guests. We had a reservation and they sat us early as we arrived early. The service was impeccable. The food runners and bussers were especially attentive. The menu had so many delicious options it was hard to choose. We had the chicken karaage and tempura asparagus to start. Both were delicious. I want to try to recreate the asparagus at home. It had cured egg yolks shaved on top table side and a sweet and savory sauce accompanying it. For entrees, we shared the 888 roll which was very fresh and the soft shell tempura udon. The crab, noodles, mushrooms and caviar were great. The broth was a little too citrus and unbalanced. For dessert we got the basque matcha cheesecake. The portion was a little small, but it was tasty. Definitely worth checking this place out! read more

The ambiance of this restaurant is unmatched. it's such a lowkey place outside- we honestly weren't sure we were at the right place, but the inside is so vibey and cool. There was a DJ playing vinyls right next to the sushi chefs if that gives any idea of how cool this place was. The food was good, pretty expensive but still tasty. The drinks were good too- I personally liked the matcha drink better than the Ube espresso martini. Great date night spot and cute place to go with some girl friends. read more

Came here for a friends birthday and had a wonderful time. We had a party of about six and were easily accommodated. The staff was very friendly and did a wonderful job telling us about the restaurant and the menu. We ordered lots of shareables and were greatly impressed with everything that was brought out. My personal favorite dish was the asparagus, I could've eaten the whole plate. The musical selection was very cool and vibey, with the vibe being curated by the dj that night. I heard they rotate genres so I'd love to come back and see what else they have to offer. read more

The vibe of this place is super nice and perfect for a date night. the staff is also really kind and attentive. the food had me a little less excited though. I had the tempura soft shell crab and udon. I thought the crab was well cooked and seasoned, but I was not a fan of the curry and didn't think it mixed well with the crab unfortunately. I also found the udon noodle were overcooked. it's rare that I am not able to finish a dish but that one I just couldn't. I instead rounded out my meal with the crunchy tuna roll which was super light and fresh, and a dish enjoyed much better. I think this place has a lot more to offer, so I may give it another try sometime soon, but certainly won't be getting the crab udon. read more

This might just be one of my favorite restaurants I've ever visited. While it was difficult to find the entrance, it was well worth it when you walk in. The vibes are immaculate, and you can tell everything has been picked with the ambiance in mind, the music was amazing, and the wait staff was seriously so friendly. I did feel a little underdressed when I showed up (I was in jeans shorts and a top) but no one made me feel like I didn't belong there which was an amazing feeling. Moving on to the food, the menu is limited and personally that's what I usually prefer, there were a handful of specialty items and they blew us away! My husband and I each got two cocktails, split a starter, and then had two rolls a piece. His Wagyu role was to die for, whereas my 888 roll was good.. but wasn't the best thing I ate during dinner. The Pork belly scallion cake appetizer we shared was... heaven. I mean seriously the best thing we ate our entire trip. We also each got a hand roll, both which were very fresh! I would highly recommend checking this place out, I loved how different it was from anything else we tried while we were there! read more

My first time visiting and it was a hit! Really enjoyed our experience overall - from the host stand to the bartender creating a mocktail off menu for me, to our server, to the food. My only fuss is the music is SO loud the further into the night you get, it makes it hard to hear. The chicken karaage was our favorite dish, and we didn't order any entrees and just kept trying various small plates. We were able to try a lot of the menu this way, but careful, it does add up! We ended up (with drinks) spending just over $300 for two people. The wagyu sandwich probably wasn't my favorite, especially with the price - I've definitely had better, but everything else I enjoyed. read more

I don't write 1 star reviews often but this place absolutely deserves it. The worst dining experience I've had, maybe ever. I'm lucky to travel and eat at nice restaurants very consistently so that's saying something. Literally from start to finish, 888 was horrible. We dined as a group of 4, our friends having made the reservation. We were seated in an odd table right next to the kitchen pass through & bathrooms. Not many were dining at 5pm when we arrived but that's where they chose to seat us. From the start, our waitress didn't come over for a very long time. We ordered some of their ridiculously priced drinks ($18 a pop & small). Our first drinks took 20 mins or more to come out. Basically had to ask our waitress to go over the menu and again to finally order. We barely saw our waitress period. And she didn't have many tables. The food here... is bad. Offensively bad. The yellowtail starter I thought looked promising but was flavorless. Tuna tartare, forgettable & not fresh. Our friends got some rolls that were horrible and they stopped eating them. The hand rolls were so bad, my husband and I each took a bite and left them. Took an hour to get the nigiri we ordered. The Chu Toro (medium fat tuna) was one of the most repulsive things I've eaten in recent memory. It was inedible and so chewy and poor quality, I had to just swallow it as I didn't want to spit it out at the table. Toro is usually lovely and a favorite of mine, this was upsetting to be served. My husband shared the same feeling. We had another order that I was going to send back as soon as we saw our waitress. Also, the prices for this absolute trash food is outrageous. Waitress mentioned that they have fresh wasabi they could bring out..they finally brought a little dollop of it to us and I look today and they charged us $12 for the wasabi. Are you guys actually serious? We had to flag the waitress down nearly 2 hours later to tell her to cancel our remaining food (that still hadn't come out). I told her our toro nigiri was inedible and she simply said "ok" and took it away. Brought us our checks without an apology or explanation. We were appalled. Our waitress was named "Leah" from what I see on our check. I have a feeling this happens often as there was absolutely zero concern or hint of customer service. Truly, a horrible experience with horrible service. And not one of the managers came by to address the issue. $600 check for the worst meal the 4 of us have ever had. Btw, this waitress had the audacity to charge us for the toro we sent back and didn't eat. $24. I wouldn't come back here if you paid me and I will tell anyone that asks about it (we are local) to absolutely stay away. read more

I recently celebrated my friend's birthday at 88 in Nashville, and it was an experience worth sharing. When we arrived, we were greeted at the table with a handwritten birthday card and warm towels, which immediately set the tone for the night. We had only seen the restaurant online, with high expectations built from TikTok and social media, but the experience exceeded all of them. The atmosphere was serene, the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout the evening, and every course impressed us with flavor and presentation. Our server, Wyatt, was outstanding -- attentive without being overbearing, with a calm and easygoing energy that matched the vibe of the restaurant perfectly. 888 is such a beautiful representation of Nashville's growing food scene, combining incredible flavors, hospitality, and overall vibes. I could go on and on with the details, but this is one of those places you have to experience for yourself. read more
