    a plate of sushi and rolls
    Erin D.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Baked mussels appetizer. Delicious.

    This is one of the rare times the Yelp reviews don't live up to my expectations. I'm giving 4 stars…read morebecause the staff was so friendly and kind, and I don't want to trash a small business. This is a no-frills, smaller restaurant inside a strip of stores in a questionable-looking area of town. As I parked the car, I thought twice about actually going in, but based on the Yelp reviews, I decided to give it a try. It was clean inside, and, as I mentioned, the service and staff were 5-star! My food was where it went wrong for me. I started with the summer rolls (the ones in rice paper); they serve sushi and Thai food here. I have been craving summer rolls; I love the freshness of the mint and herbs, combined with crunchy peanuts and peanut sauce. However, that fell short for me here. The peanut sauce was reddish and tasted more like ketchup, so that was a letdown. No little peanuts anywhere in the sauce or on the plate. It was jam-packed with iceberg lettuce, which you would typically put on a Taco, so it wasn't very fresh-tasting, and it contained the tiniest piece of shrimp I've ever seen inside. Following my gut, I decided not to order my usual sushi selection, which is always raw, unfried, and unsauced. However, I decided to play it safe, so I opted for a Mexican roll instead. I asked for no eel sauce, but I should have also specified that I wanted spicy mayo on the side. It covered my roll, and I had to use a napkin to remove what I could. This is usually a roll that is around $6 to $10, but for some reason, they were charging $14. They made the rolls bigger, but not by filling them with more shrimp, avocado, etc.; instead, they added more rice. This may be someone's cup of tea, but it wasn't mine, and I won't be back, but wish them the best!

    There was this favorite sushi place. I used to visit in Brentwood Tennessee that closed after the…read morepandemic. Sushi Thai reminds me of that place and fills that hole in my tastebuds. The sushi is so fresh here. Service is nice and efficient. It's a small place with a few tables and no waiting area, but don't let a wait deter you. And, if you have any room in your tummy after dinner, definitely order the mango sticky rice for dessert. I say I will try some of the hot dishes here, but the sushi always wins.
