After a very disappointing experience at a popular Nashville sushi restaurant last weekend we…read moredecided we needed to hit our go-to spot to fulfill our fix. This is such a cute place with all the anime but it's also very cleans and well staffed. The fish was very fresh and the sashimi pieces are quite large. The rolls are huge! We had the Ballwing and Kiss of Fire (?) special rolls as well as the yellow tail jalepeno and spicy tuna. Everything was delicious and came out quickly even on a very busy Saturday. We tried the house cold sake and it was quite good. We love this place it never disappoints.

I recently went to this hibachi restaurant in Mount Juliet and had a decent experience overall. The…read morefood was alright, but honestly it wasn't the best hibachi I've had. The steak portions were also pretty small, so I was expecting a little more for the price. We also had a reservation but still ended up waiting around 30 minutes before getting seated at a hibachi table, which was frustrating. That definitely took away from the experience. The service helped make up for some of the issues, though. The chef was great, really fun, and had a happy personality that made the hibachi experience enjoyable. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars because the atmosphere and service were good, but the food portions and wait time could definitely be improved.

Quick service with great prices! All the rolls we had tasted fresh and the rice was flavorful…read more There is a mini boba shop inside so you can stop by and just get boba or order at your table. The restaurant has a stage in the back and is a very casual place. There are a couple of longer tables so you can come here with a large group!

Stopped in on a Friday evening with a friend. We were quickly seated and attended to…read more This was my first time here. I ordered an udon noodle soup that came with two shrimp, a side of tempura vegetables, and some garlic edamame. The soup was light and was balanced by the tempura fried veggies. Everything was piping hot and fresh. I was so pleased with the temperature of the soup especially on a cold and raining evening. Our server was friendly and checked in on us the perfect amount of times. He left us to catch up and refilled our drinks as they were getting low. I had a great experience. I would love to come back and try some other dishes and boba drinks

We've been searching for a great Thai food place like we used to get in CA. Our former town had a…read morelarge population of Thai, Laotian, and Cambodians so there were some pretty damn good places to get Thai food. This place easily ranks up their with the restaurants we used to frequent in CA. Today we had the Red Curry chicken extra hot, the Chicken Jalapeno extra hot and a Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box. Every bite was very fresh and loaded with delicious flavors. Whoever they have as the chef(s) is doing a helluva a good job! Service was really good to and the ambience is where you can easily sit across from someone at your table and carry on a conversation without being drowned out by the TV's or loud noises. I'd highly recommend this place, the food is exceptionally good.

On the road for work and found this Thai/Japanese place close to the hotel…read more Nice exterior and quiet ambiance. The menu is 40% Thai I would estimate, 60% Japanese. I ordered spring rolls, which were fried. Although they confirmed they were fresh rolls. No biggy, still tasty. Also ordered Thai samurai fried rice and red curry chicken. Very tasty. Especially the red curry was super flavorful. Full of Rich flavor and. Loads of veggies and meat. A 5 stars for that dish. Definitely worth it's money. I highly recommend this place if you are a Thai fan. Did not try any of the sushi or other Japanese dishes

I didn't really get a good look a the menu as I didn't want to hold anyone up. We hadn't been seated 5 minutes before being asked if we were ready to order. Clear soup- it was ok.

I think it could have used a little more sauce, but the pork was cooked perfectly and flavor was spot on. Hubby had the spicy tuna poke bowl. Perfectly ripened avocado, great attention to detail, it was passed around the table so we could all try it. We also had the 911 roll and the cherry blossom roll. Both were great but the 911 roll was a table favorite. The restaurant wasn't packed, so all our food came out quickly. The table was clean but the bench seats were a little hard. I love that each person gets their own pot for hot tea. It kept my tea hot throughout the meal. I would definitely recommend stopping by here.

The crab rangoons were delicious, but the chicken gyozas stole the show for the appetizers. The outside was perfectly crisp while the inside was filled with soft moist chicken.

If you walk into a restaurant at 7pm on a Wednesday night and the place is fully packed and there…read moreare people waiting behind you to be sat, you KNOW you made the right decision to go there. We were greeted nicely by the hostess and waited roughly 5 minutes for a table to open up. A family of five came in right after us and decided to sit at the bar to eat. I knew in my heart that this was the best place to go to for my husband's birthday dinner. We sat on some barstools while we waited, discussing the hockey game playing on the tv behind the bar. I loved the low ambient lighting that spread across the ceiling. Our waitress was nice but she never gave us her name so I unfortunately can't shout her out. She gave us recommendations so I ended up taking one of hers. Now, if you have read my Thai restaurant reviews, you know by now that I judge a Thai restaurant by ordering their Pad Thai the first visit, however, I broke that rule because I just KNEW this place was going to be good. We ordered the Tom Kha soup with chicken, Pad Kee Mao with chicken, I ordered the Khao Soi Gai (it comes with chicken, no substitutions), and one Thai iced tea. You guys. When the Tom Kha soup touched my lips, I was SO excited to get the main course! It was made PERFECTLY. I haven't had true Tom Kha since probably when I lived in California over a decade ago. The Thai tea was strong and delicious, exactly how it should be made. The Khao Soi Gai...that first sip of the curry broth nearly made me go Meg Ryan-mode in the restaurant. If you know, you know. "I'll have what she's having!" Our waitress recommended this dish and I'm so glad I was adventurous and tried something different outside of my "I'll judge you based off of your Pad Thai" attitude. It was perfect and when I say perfect, I didn't even add lime juice to it because I didn't want to mess anything up with the flavor profile. Sure, lime could have added another element to the dish but when I say it was perfect the way it was, it's true. The night at Smiley would have ended perfectly if it weren't for the miserable couple who sat beside us discussing how unhappy they were in their marriage and decided to accept the waitstaff into their broken marriage by being completely rude. But the staff remained professional and kind through it all and I give them HUGE props for that because I was a moment away from telling that wretched couple off. In short, the staff here are wonderful, and the food is memorable, delectable, delicious, perfect...it's HEAVEN. We will DEFINITELY be back to try other menu items!

The Mean Green Ice Cream Machine served up a variety of delicious ice cream flavors and topping combinations.

Not only did they offer a great selection of hand scooped flavors, but they also had a plethora of traditional ice cream truck goodies like the character popsicle and the classic coco taco. The staff was super friendly and wore their masks to ensure everyone's safety. I'm not sure if they solely offer private events, but certainly seemed like a unique addition to any party. All in all it was a great afternoon treat.
