    Steak and eggs
    Sarah A.

    What a wonderful experience. From the excitement felt upon securing a reservation for a special occasion, to the warm greeting we received at the bar, to the mastery behind crafting each bite, Kase delivers in every aspect. Between my husband and I, we tried three cocktails, all of which were well balanced and unique in their own creative way. My favorite was the princess ichigo, a citrusy, floral and fruity confection. Each course was prepared and presented with care. Vinny made sure to describe each bite so we could follow along on the menu. I enjoyed the tuna tour this omekase set took me on, from lean to fatty parts of thr paired with rice, nori and even toast. My favorite bites of the night included the salmon caviar, chutoro and "steak and eggs" ordered à la carte. Overall worth the splurge and staying up til midnight to book a spot. I hope to come back soon if I could be so lucky to snag another seat at this intimate sushi bar.

    Yes- Absolutely worth the hype. The build up to get a reservation, the anticipation until dining date and the arrival to Kase are worth that and much more. Upon arrival we were greeted by two bartenders who were making magic happen. I'm not a huge cocktail person but their cocktails were delicious. Their cocktail menu isn't overwhelming either. We entered the 14 seat dining room and were greeted by chef Vinnie and Natalia was our server. Preparation, flavor, service immaculate! Even the songs (all early 2000 hip hop) the best. I will be staying up until midnight again for the chance to return here. So so worth it!!

    Culinary masterpieces! If you looking for dynamic sushi with vibrant flavors - Kase is the way to go! It's definitely worth the wait. & anticipation! The vibe & music was top tier & very aesthetically pleasing! Can't wait to go back!

    I waited weeks for a reservation at Kase x Noko. I had a timer on at midnight just to be able to reserve it when the next booking date opened. And boy was it worth the wait! I've been around Nashville for a very long time and it was really cool to see an omakase spot like this open up. When we walked in for our reservation, it was a very intimate feel. They had no more than 20 seats available. The omakase was 14 courses and every bite was so delicious! My favorites for the Chotoro, otoro, and the Wagyu steak towards the middle of the courses. All of the fish was extremely fresh and yummy. My least favorite course was the dessert. The mochi was powdery and chewy and we could barely have more than one bite of it. We also tried a few of their drinks but none of them really stood out. I feel like if they fixed dessert and drinks then this place would really be a home-run. But overall, I still give it 5 stars because it was a really yummy and great experience.

    Impeccable- from being greeted by the bartender to our server in the main seating. Everything was phenomenal. We were served by Junior Vo. Gave me a substitute for the wagyu. Can't wait to return!

    Well priced and great tasting sushi. Love the flavors and play on making unique bites. Service was great, James who was the sushi chef serving us was super kind. The speak easy element of the sushi bar made it a fun experience as well. Also the drinks 10/10

    BEST MEAL EVER! The hype is real and I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Every bite was perfectly executed, the service was just amazing, and the vibes inside the dining space were perfect. We got super lucky and got a spot from a same day cancellation, and are already trying to make our next reservation here. We started out the the Omg he has a boat cocktail and let that mango mocktail and both were super refreshing. The omakase was just incredible and we added on the tuna bonita and kreme de la kreme. Everything was so incredible we could not even pick a favorite. The price is also very reasonable for the experience! They even brought out an extra piece of nigiri with a candle since it was my boyfriend's bday. Must try spot!!! I can't wait to go back soon.

    Great omakase! We finally were able to get reservations & got a prime 7pm Saturday night in August to celebrate my wife's birthday. We showed up about 10 mins early as requested in the dimly lit bar area & were given cocktail menus. Ambiance is nice, but there are only 5ish bar seats in a seemingly small, 10 foot by 10 foot waiting area. With 14 ish people all showing up 5-10 mins before & 5 seats, it makes for a little cramped waiting experience. That staff all around were incredibly friendly & welcoming & we were sat right at 7pm. The fish selection & quality was solid, & we loved the variety! My favorite was anything otoro. Definitely recommend the Kreme de la Kreme, & the Panda Panda Panda mocktail (for dessert)! Their cocktail menu is very eclectic & I wish we could've tried them all. For 14 courses & a few a la carte items & cocktails/mocktails, our total after tip came to about $300 total for 2 people. For a landlocked state, this is an excellent omakase. Having had Michelin-star quality omakase in places like NYC/Boston, this isn't the "best" omakase we've experienced. However, this is likely the best in Nashville & the price point is incredible for the quality! Either way, definitely recommend for all sushi lovers for a special night out! Personally, I'm just not sure it's worth fighting for midnight reservations over unless you happen to be up already!

    It should go without saying that anywhere you have to get a reservation 6 weeks in advance is going to be fantastic. For anyone who doesn't know what Kase is, one get out from under the rock, but two you have to stay up to until midnight and get a reservation for yourself. The service is always incredible, the chefs are knowledgeable and communicate during the 14 courses to talk with you. The bar staff is constantly around to make sure drinks are filled. Kase is a small and intimate establishment. The bar before the dining room is VERY small, only 4 seats, but that makes for a great place to sit and chat with the bartender before your meals. The food is something truly out of this world. Kase is the only place that can get me to eat roe, scallops and eel, and actually enjoy them. The fish is incredibly fresh, and sits on a small piece of warmed sushi rice. I don't need to get into detail with the food, it speaks for itself. Can't wait until I get to go back for a third time.

    This is such a wonderful experience & I'm grateful I got to experience it for my birthday. It is a small but comfortable & chic space with top notch vibes set by the entire crew & the best playlist (90s/early 2000s R&B, hip hop curated by a Georgia boy). The 4- seat bar can get crowded while waiting to be seated, but people are friendly. The chefs are talented, kind, and thoughtful while educating you about each part of the tasting. Parking can be limited. May have to park in the neighborhood. Love: service (kind, personable, caring); wagyu, salmon, red snapper, assorted wasabi, cocktails (well-made & beautiful)

    Hands down one of the of the best dining experiences in Nashville. The atmosphere was so chill and moody. The service was stellar and the sushi was exquisite. This 14 seat sushi bar in East is where you want to be in Nashville. It's one of the hardest resy to snatch in the city and for good reason. I hadn't worked that hard for reservation since my French Laundry booking. Treat your self to something exceptional a 14 course nigiri and hand roll experience. Arrive at least ten minutes early to enjoy a pre cocktail at the country's smallest bar. I had a "Last Word" for the first time that was pure bliss. Reservations are released daily at midnight. Limited onsite parking is available. Just uber and save yourself the stress. Cheers!

    Love this place! I've been looking for an omakase place in Nashville. Got lucky to get the reservation on my first try (you have to book 6 weeks in advance at midnight). Went there with my husband, and we loved all of the courses! They also have a cute bar with good cocktails. The restaurant has an intimate setting, 2 sushi chef made the fresh sushi in front of you, and served it one by one. Each bite tasted different, with good balance of the flavors and presentation. Very recommended!

    Do they have free parking?

    They do! It's a pretty small lot that's shared with Noko and a few other nearby businesses. It can fill up quickly, so you may want to arrive early. Also, there may be some free street parking nearby as well

There was plenty of seating to grab a drink and hang out before being sat for dinner, and the bartender/server were very attentive. My partner and I arrived early, and we ordered a couple of cocktails from the bar. I ordered the Lost in Tokyo which was delicious, but I thought it was a little odd that it was served over ice for a drink with a coconut milk base. It watered down the cocktail too quickly. My partner got the Can't be Tamed, and it was the perfect spicy marg. Once we were sat the courses were incredible. The flavors were complimentary of each other in every bite, and there was not a single course I didn't like! The best bites were probably the fatty tuna and the surf-n-turf. The chefs were fun and chatty and kept the upbeat vibes going. I also thought the sake toast was a fun addition. This meal was paced perfectly, and I'd definitely come again when they are running another special.
