One of the best pan Asian places I've been to in a while. All of the right flavors and notes are there. Service was amazing. Great Thai tea, soup, and ginger salad. Very large portions. Huge TV playing sports. All of my favorite things! 10/10 will go again! read more

I ordered take out from here and it was delicious! Inside was very clean, I was helped right away, and my food was ready very quick. Not pictured but the edamame and crab ragoons were very good as well as the rock shrimp! read more

This is one of our favorites! The food and service is always so good! We have done both takeout and dine-in.

I found this place on yelp and ordered the steak hibachi for takeout. The portion sizes were great, they gave me soup and salad in addition to the food. I had also ordered a side of udon noodles which were bland. Overall the portion sizes were really good but the taste just wasn't there. There were also pieces of chicken and shrimp with my hibachi which was odd because I only ordered the steak hibachi. The owner also advised me not to order online again? I think they have to pay fees for online orders or something so I said I wouldn't do it again lol read more

To start off this place should be a lot busier.... Great food, great prices and good portion size. My lunch was enough for 2 meals. The staff was super nice and attentive and there to answer any questions about the menu. read more

A tasty Asian food spot! While visiting a friend in Nashville, we were recommended Chikuyo Tei for dinner! We had the crazy roll, spicy tuna roll, steak hibachi, edamame, and miso soup. Everything was average but tasty! The spicy rolls had just a little hint of spice, and the steak was a bit chewy. They did unfortunately forget the fried rice that comes with the hibachi so that was a bit of a letdown. The worker that helped us pick up or to go order was very friendly! The restaraunt was clean. Pro tip: do not order from them on DoorDash! The prices are $2-4 higher! read more

This place is a hidden gem. SUSHI WAS AMAZING. We arrived on a Friday evening. It was a quiet and relaxed environment perfect for enjoying our meal after a looooong week of work. Our server Sheryl (longtime favorite!!) was so kind and helped my husband choose between a few of the rolls (he went for the Angel roll and loved every bite...he almost didn't share lol). The presentation of the sushi is beautiful. Parking was simple and quick. If you are looking for a welcoming atmosphere and GREAT SUSHI then you have found the right place! read more

Hidden gem! Very good options from Japanese hibachi, bento boxes, sushi and a variety of Chinese dishes. All are delicious and we consider this at least a weekly or bi-weekly family take-out stop for our family. Paula and family are the best, try them out you will not be disappointed. read more

Great food- great service. This hidden gem has been a go to spot for awhile for my family. We normally sit at the sushi bar and order sushi. The real star is the calamari. It's tempura batter and has some seasoning on top that is out of this world. She sushi is great. Always fresh and tasty!!! The prices are very reasonable compared to other local places. The service is great. Always friendly and remember us as familiar faces. Stop on by and try the sushi and don't forget the calamari. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

I've ordered from here a few times and they have always been consistent. If ordering on a Friday be prepared for a little bit of a wait especially if you are ordering sushi. read more

Absolute delight find. I didn't expect this place to have sushi and have been to two others around the area in search of finding a great neighborhood sushi spot; the others were let downs, so search continued, and this place was on the list. Learned my lesson from the last ones to check the menu out, which had some variety. Not all California rolls with other toppings. Sooo much better than the other places I've tried in the area, and I will be a regular. Super fresh. Great cuts and presentation, super friendly staff. The sushi chef seems to truly like his craft & hospitality. They can only serve beer on the adult beverages which is a bummer but everything else here is really great sushi and service wise. read more

We were in Nashville visiting some friends and decided to go out for some sushi. We found this place and it was obviously busy and short handed but our waitress hustled and got everyone taken care of. We ordered their large sushi combo and some rolls and appetizers on the side. They were busy so it was a bit of a wait but the sushi was wonderful and the presentation was on point. If you're in the hermitage area and looking for some sushi, give this place a shot. read more

This is a hidden gem of Hermitage! The crab rangoon is one of my favorite. They are crispy savory-sweet delicious treats! My GF and I go-to is the Chicken and Shrimp Hibachi it serves 2-3 people. It's full of chicken and veggies and a few shrimp. The house salad dressings are the bomb! We had to order extra because it's so good! Highly recommend ordering extra ginger salad dressing to go. Nothing beats summer eat than s fresh refreshing salad. read more

Needed a sushi fix and they had a great selection of signature rolls. The star of the show was the Spicy Trio. This place has reasonable prices and fresh sushi. They also offer traditional Asian entrees and hibachi. Decent selection of draft beers and attentive service. read more

What a gem! We received the best service here, and the sushi and hibachi were delicious! The scallops were large and not overcooked, and you get plenty of food on the lunch specials. The sashimi was fresh, I can't remember the name of the roll we had, but it was so freaking good! I will definitely return here, the prices are so fair for the amount of good food you receive. read more

We had visited your restaurant last Friday evening, a party of four, to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were turned away because of the change in the $32.99 all you can eat menu, which was not advertised- switching from every day to just weekdays. We returned Monday, to celebrate my husband's birthday around 5:40 PM. We did not receive our meals until after 7:50 PM. We waited almost 2 hours. The waitress was very stressed out at the sushi chef and kept checking on our order multiple times. We had our small infant with us and had to keep passing him around to keep him entertained while we waited for our food. Every other patron of the restaurant that entered after us, received their food, ate, paid, and left before we even received our meals. It was absolutely horrible customer service. We tried to cancel our order and leave so we could go eat fast food we were so hungry and irritated from waiting. We were so hungry, but the sushi chef stated that he had already begun our meal at that time we asked to cancel so we could leave and it will be ready in five minutes. It still was not ready in five minutes, and he again took two orders from different patrons ahead of us. It was a terrible experience, a disappointing birthday dinner, and honestly makes us feel we should not return and let others know of the horrible service we received. read more

This food is AMAZING and fresh! Best Asian food around. LOVE! Lacks atmosphere. If that's important to you this is not the best place. The lights are BRIGHT and the music is an Asian mix, not relaxing, and is VERY LOUD. So loud I asked them to turn it down. It was music with birds chirping. If you only care about great food, try this place! read more

We went in for lunch on a weekday. We were greeted but the hostess wasn't very friendly. Everyone can have an off day, right? We were seated at a booth because there are no tables. Fortunately, the food overrides the lack of friendliness and service. The server never came to check on us and we waited quite awhile before we saw her to ask for our check. We did thoroughly enjoy our food, however. My husband said it was the best General Tso Chicken he's ever had. My Pad Thai was very good - fresh and flavorful. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because of the lack of friendliness and service. We will be back, and hopefully there will be more than one server and they will have had a better day. read more

Good food, good service, good prices, and best of all great servings definitely recommend

Wow this place is something special. I ordered takeout and was blown away by the quality of the food. I'm a huge soup person (weird, I know) and had never heard of kari soup before, so I had to try it. My only complaint? It was so good that I couldn't stop eating it. It was a ton of soup and I would have loved to save some for lunch the next day, but I literally couldn't stop eating it. Not to mention that shrimp were perfect - plenty of restaurants around Nashville use mediocre shrimp and/or cook them poorly. But this place has quality ingredients AND cooks the shrimp perfectly. My fiancé got the hibachi and, once again, the only complaint is that it's so good he couldn't stop eating it, so no leftovers for him! I stole some of the veggies and rice from his hibachi and it was probably the best hibachi I've had around Nashville. Their sauces or on point, their ingredients are high quality, and the portion sizes are very generous. TLDR: This place is underrated and you shouldn't hesitate to order from here read more

Great food. I have been a return customer for a while now and it's always the same high quality.

I like their Bento Box Dinners & hand rolls. The dinner bento comes with a nice side of tempura. The lunch bento does not. So, I always pony-up the extra doe for the dinner box. I gotta have my tempura. It's yummz. Anywho, I'm a teriyaki-tofu bento box kinda gal, so that's the only one of those that I can speak on. All of the rolls I've tried been good too. read more

I'd have to give this place a 5.0 based on the food, and a 4.0 based on the service. The restaurant has only been open a couple of months, so they're doing pretty darn good in my opinion..just with some room for improvement. The service was slow. It was during the evening on Sunday night, but it wasn't very busy. It took forever to get our order in, and then another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Our water glasses were left empty until we had to flag down our waitress. So, service wasn't so great that evening But the food made up for it. The miso soup and salad were good. The bento box was really nice and plentiful...I'd definitely recommend getting that if you want a little variety. The sushi roll we had was excellent, very fresh and flavorful! read more

Been coming here for a while and the food is always amazing ! It's a quiet and calming atmosphere, pricing is good and quality is great. I usually a hibachi steak along with a California & Dragon roll. Honestly the rolls and soup fill me up and I take the hibachi home for for dinner or next day lunch. By myself I usually pay around 20-30$ depending if it's lunch or dinner pricing. When I go with my partner it's around 70-80$. read more

Food and service was great. Sushi was fresh and very tasteful. Tempura was hot and crispy. Miso soup was great. Definitely will be back.

We have this local fair near the house. We have eaten both at the restaurant and order in as well, every time we eat here it never disappoints. I got the Chicken LO Meinand my husband gets sushi. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the lo mein had just enough of the vegetables as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

I'm surprised by the multiple 5 star reviews. This is not really a 5 star sort of place...I've gotten take out here multiple times because I like Asian food, and it's near my house. The problem is, no matter what I get, the food is always....meh. (Keeping in mind I usually order non sushi items.) The crab Rangoon is pretty good, but other items, such as the pad thai and Singapore noodles, have been pretty darn terrible. We did eat at the restaurant once and there was just one waitress for 5-6 tables, and service was slow. read more

We picked up Chikuyo Tei for takeout recently. It was decent/average sushi. We had a couple of seaweed salads and a few sushi rolls (yellowtail, salmon, Philadelphia, vegetable). Everything was fine. Decent sushi, but not exceptional. Good for those of us that live around Chikuyo Tei but nothing you should drive out of your way for. read more

I have ate here many times since they've opened even though they are NOT friendly at all! Food was good so I continued to go. BUT they should be embarrassed by this nastiness here they gave me! You can clearly see I asked for NO soup extra salad! They charged me for my extra salad dressing but didn't give me my extra salad! The shrimp and veggies look like it's soup!!!! Shrimp is disgusting and mushy. Will NOT be back!!! I'm not one to complain or send food back like a lot of people I know do but I paid too much money to get this garbage! read more

First time there. Nice place to eat. I could only eat a third of what I ordered. Service well done. Cleared plates as needed cause the table can get crowded with what you ordered. We'll go again next time I'm town. read more

We found this place thanks to Yelp! We had a spicy chicken noodle soup (can't remember the name) but it was #AMAZING. We don't like spicy food usually, but this soup just has the perfect amount of hot on it. The more we ate it the more we liked it. We also had the crab rangoons, which were crispy and with the right amount of cheese inside. Delicious. Finally we had the Rock Lobster Roll, which was good sushi. We were already too full to really enjoy it, but it had very good flavor. Service was excellent. The lady that served us was patient and nice. Ambience is Japaneseque, including music and decoration. Very clean place, including bathrooms. One thing though, do not get their Thai Iced Tea! Super watery, but that's what we get for ordering something Thai in a Japanese restaurant. read more

This is my favorite Friday night sushi place in Mount Juliet. My husband and I love to come here. The first thing we noticed was the quirky game show theme type asian music. We find ourselves bopping our heads and little and smiling. What I enjoy about this sushi place is that they have expensive sushi rolls and lots of options for inexpensive sushi rolls. Lots to choose from. Their prices are reasonable. Are you in the mood for beer? This is your place. You will love their gigantic beer mugs. I think they are bigger than Cinco's. They are reasonably priced two at 4.25 I think. They have huge booths along The wall for large parties to sit together. They also have lots of booth options for 2 to 4 people. I love a comfy booth option for date night. The raw tuna appetizer is a little pricey in my opinion for the amount of food you get. Edamame is always tasty and a good starter. I want to try the spicy shrimp next time I go. The servers are always friendly. read more

I really liked and was enjoying this place as we are new to the area until this. Hopefully they can step up their cleanliness and safety measures as I had a piece of plastic wrap mixed in with my salad. Of course I didn't notice it looking any different than lettuce until I chewed on it for a while and spit it out. read more

First and likely last meal at this place. Ordered takeout which was ready within 15 minutes. Softshell crab app, shrimp tempura app, 1 rainbow roll. Both fried appetizers had the texture of having been previously frozen or cooked earlier then microwaved. Doughy, soggy vegetables and gummy shrimp. Dough on softshell crab was so bready and crunchy, yet the crab was watery and flavorless. The one redeeming thing was the decent rainbow roll. While small, it was fresh and flavorful. If you do eat here, maybe stick to the sushi rolls or something other than fried anything! I guess the fact that only two tables were occupied on a Wednesday night at 7:15 were a sign. Smiley Thai and Sushi Thai are WAY better and way busier for a reason. Take heed. read more

Over-all impression is that this is an OK option for the Hermitage area. The place is new, has good cleanliness rating and reasonable food quality and service. For all those reasons they have earned 4 stars... however, I personally did not LOVE it, and so deduct one star for it not being outstanding and exceptional. The spring roll had a mushy quality to the wrapper on the inside, like not quite cooked enough. The spicy tuna roll was chopped up like tuna salad (customary for 'some' sushi chefs, other's use whole pieces with spicy sauce on top.) The stir-fry beef "teriyaki." The meat was boiled, rather than truly hot wok fried (not saying they put the meat in a pot of water, but rather the wok was not hot enough to cook off the natural juices and water.). It was not seared and yummy. Again, just matters of personal taste. We will go back and try again, in case some issues were just due to an off day. read more

Chikuyo Tei is a nicer strip mall Japanese restaurant for the area. The restaurant is new in an existing building with a nice interior renovation. We visited for lunch of Friday to take advantage of the lunch specials. I ordered the 5 pc nigiri with California roll for $10.99 which is about the going rate for such. It didn't disappoint. It came with a salad that was good although the dressing was a bit runny. The wife ordered a plentiful $8.99 chicken teriyaki bento box. Overall the restaurant meets or exceeds strip mall Japanese expectations. read more
