This was by far the best sushi me or my wife have eaten anywhere. We did the 14 course meal ... so good. I can't wait to do it again. Service was great all the staff from bar to waitress and waiter great. Lighting nice but good I can't say enough on how good it was. To eat I wish it been more. James was one making our sushi. He knows what he is doing. Great one of best places I have ever eaten. In my life. Definitely. The best sushi so far

Kase is chef's kiss! Absolutely worth the hype! You first enter a small bar where you can get a head start on your drink before being guided to your seat. There are a total of 14 seats with 2 chefs dedicated. Each piece is incredibly fresh and flavorful. There are a total of 14 courses with last one being a dessert. It's the best sushi and experience in Nashville

We FINALLY got the chance to snag a reservation here. Seriously, it's challenging. They only have like (14? 15?) seats and only do two servings a night. First, let me say I was nervous. I don't typically like sushi and sashimi even less. The texture of a raw fish concerned me. Hubby loves it though, so I wanted to give it a chance. I figured if I was going to try, it needed to be at a place that knew what they were doing. James our sushi chef, definitely knew what he was doing. The servings were one piece at a time, served at a comfortable pace. Each piece was a different sort of fish, or a piece of wagyu beef! I enjoyed myself. The flavors made up for my personal wariness of the textures. Each piece was filled with delicious flavors. We ended up super full and content, and happy with our time here. I highly recommend.

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.

Incredible sushi for an incredible price. The best omakase I have had in Nashville and so much attention to detail in the design of each course. Must upgrade and order the à la carte menu options- They were worth every penny!! This was such a special dining experience the team was so welcoming and attentive to us during our meal. If I had to nit pick something, it would be the entryway is small and the bar only has 4 barstools so it was really cramped while getting drinks and waiting to be seated.

Catalina C.

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!!

Celebrated my birthday at Kase x Noko. This was my first Omakase experience and I was absolutely amazed and in awe the entire time! It is an entire experience from start to finish. We started off at the bar where I had the Kyoto Garden. The drink was very refreshing and light. The different pieces of fish that were given to us were all so different and so delicious! My favorite was the Chutoro from Spain and the Otoro Toast. The restaurant staff were all so kind and welcoming, especially the chefs. I loved the ambiance with r&b music; it gave the impression of hanging out with friends while having an upscale experience. They even gave me a birthday treat! I hope I get the opportunity to dine there again.

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.

Pretty good for Nashville standards, especially as someone who's had omakase in Japan, California, and Hawaii. For the price of $75, you really can't go wrong. The main difference I noticed compared to other omakase experiences was the nigiri preparation. The pieces here seemed to be pre-cut, whereas at other places I've usually seen the chef slice and prepare each piece in front of you, which adds more to the experience and presentation of the fish. This omakase also follows more of a set menu format, so it doesn't really change based on seasonality or fish availability. Overall, would recommend in the future if I'm in Nashville again.

Menu!!

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

Sarah P.

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!

Ask the Community - Kase X Noko

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

The food and service were excellent. The Noko All-Star breakfast offered a satisfying mix of classic favorites, while the burnt-ends rice bowl was outstanding. The Brussels had perfectly charred edges and a flavorful sesame dressing, and the brisket French dip featured tender, delicious brisket. Our server also surprised me with a Dole Whip for my birthday--a creamy, refreshing treat and the perfect finishing touch. What truly set Noko apart happened a couple of days later, when someone from the restaurant called to thank me for dining with them and ask whether I had enjoyed my birthday celebration. I've dined at countless restaurants, but I've never experienced such thoughtful personal follow-up. That gesture speaks volumes about Noko's hospitality and moved it straight to the top of our list of Nashville favorites. Noko, thank you for making my birthday feel special--even days later!

The biggest miss was the rice, which was surprisingly bland and lacked the seasoning and flavor you'd expect from a sushi restaurant of this caliber. The rolls were beautifully presented, but there wasn't anything that stood out. When you're paying a premium for sushi, "fine" just isn't enough.

It overall started pretty well, with a yummy and fresh yellowtail roll, however as the night continued, the rolls became more and more elaborate to the point of being too much. For example, instead of just serving the fatty tuna by itself, or with a simple topping, it comes with truffle and bone marrow dripped onto it. Those flavors overwhelmed the fish itself, which is already amazing on its own. There was another course of caviar, topped with gold flecks, which was kind of unnecessary. Also, they used the blowtorch for almost every fish which I find a bit gimmicky. I once or twice is cool but when you're pulling it out every 2 minutes, it quickly loses its appeal. What happened to just having a nice piece of raw fish on some sushi rice? Everything was just a little bit too overdone in my opinion. Also, because the previous sitting had gone a bit long, it felt like they were rushing through our sitting. The staff and service were great though - very polite and attentive. I think perhaps the basic omakase option would've been much better, and if I do come back (not sure that I will), this is what I'd opt for.

This Japanese inspired vinyl speakeasy bar had an amazing vibe, unparalleled service, and outstanding food and drinks. For drinks, I ordered the Smoked Old Fashioned and Matcha Mezcal Sour and both drinks were crafted with care and expertise. The old fashioned had a great Smokey and toasty flavor, was very smooth, and had an impressive presentation. The Matcha Mezcal Sour was delicious. I loved the refreshing flavor and added aroma and taste of the sesame oil. Definitely a favorite! My friend and I sat at the bar for the night and had AC as our bartender. AC was super cool and personable, and we had a great time chatting throughout the night. I wish we had time to make a second appearance the next night to try some more menu recommendations, but our trip was short! I also loved the atmosphere at 88. It felt upscale, intimate yet spacious, and unique. Having a vinyl DJ was niche for Nashville, and I throughly enjoyed the setting and mood. For food, we ordered the A5 Tallow fries with yuzu kewpie, Chili-Garlic Edamame, and Sake Avocado sushi roll. All of these bites were really tasty too! The chili garlic sauce on the edamame was so flavorful and addicting, almost as much as the yuzu kewpie for fry dipping. The roll was also good quality and enjoyable. Perfect bar bites to accompany our drinks. I can't recommend 888 enough, and if I visit Nashville again, this will be at the top of my list!
