    Spicey Scallop
    Joyce K.

    So happy we paid a visit to the newest addition to the Maru restaurant family. Ambiance was relaxing, service was great, and food did not disappoint. Amazing night of sushi. Sushi sampler was beautiful as well as incredible. I highly ecommend spicy scallops and the crispy rice.

    The play boy roll and shrimp tempura roll
    Parker S.

    We have been to the Maru east location more than 10 times and love it for great quality sushi and friendly service but the atmosphere isn't the most special. We live close to Wedgewood so we were excited to try this location that recently opened, and it did not disappoint! Service was fantastic and the inside felt really upscale and had great vibes. The gyoza and Japanese fried chicken were both great albeit not mind blowing. The sushi was the star of the show which is the same for their location in east Nashville. The playboy and shrimp tempura we would happily order again! We are excited to come back and try more small plates and different sushi rolls soon. Great addition to the neighborhood.

    So glad another location opened up. Cannot say enough good things about Maru! The food is always fresh and delicious and the service is always quick. Love the vibes of this location! Definitely feels more elevated than the other locations. Can't wait to go back!

    Crispy Rice
    Veronica M.

    5/5... this place is fresh, it's clean, it's classy and the owner Rita is customer oriented as it should be. It felt great to know the service industry is not dead. Let's start with the delicious food we got. We started with Crispy Rice. Wow, they were amazing. They have little gold flakes that make it look cute. The Tonkatsu ramen was very good. It was missing something in the flavor but it was still delicious. The sushi rolls were delicious and balanced. We honestly loved the place and definitely will come back. They do offer lunch specials we will be checking out soon!

    Hot Night
    Jasmine M.

    I had the best sushi lunch date here! I ordered the Salmon roll and Captains Secret! The captain secret might be the best sushi I've had in my life. The ingredients were so fresh and the roll was flavorful. My husband had the hot night roll as well as a roll that had scallops on top. The Hot night roll was our fav of the two. Drink wise, the espresso martini, grapefruit soju and the lemon drop martini were all phenomenal! The service was great and our waiter was attentive and helpful. The restaurant was clean, neat and pretty empty for a Friday lunch. Anytime I am here I will come back!

    The service was outstanding. The sushi was SO good and fresh. My boyfriend said the chicken fried rice was the best he's ever had. We had the chicken karage and thigh skewers as well, they were eaten before I could snap a pic lol.

    Albacore sushi roll, bok choy, white rice
    Austin O.

    I ordered takeout and overall had a solid experience. The albacore roll was the highlight -- really flavorful and fresh. The rice portion felt a bit small (I'd have liked a little more to balance things). The bok choy side was decent -- not huge, but just right as a complement. Prices were moderate -- nothing outrageous. I'd definitely go back to try more from the menu.

    Beef kushiyaki or yakitori style  Bland, not enough flavor, meat was tough and chewy
    White W.

    I was really excited to try this place. Visiting from California for a few weeks and I took a gamble with a 5star with only 2 reviews, but I'm a sushi connoisseur and a risk taker. The ambience was nice, newer modern feel in an upcoming east Nashville area. The place was relatively empty, a man at the bar, a girl at the other ends and two hotties having dinner at a table. Not a good sign. I sat at a table my back to a bench seat. Service was fast and cordial. My server a young man with a great attitude but a little green. First up, I order some yellowtail carpaccio, the young man advises of a special item, baby yellowtail in a ginger ponzu sauce, I am glad he did, because it was to die for. I'd come back just for that dish. See pic. I also ordered some chicken and some yakitori, some different nigiri and a roll. Now at this point you may ask, White, if it was soo good why 3 stars? Good question. I ordered my go to faves, nigiri of yellowtail, salmon, and tuna. I also ordered the Baja roll just to have some filler and something with spice. I was expecting The nigiri to be fresh cuts of fish on top of sushi rice, however they came with different sauces, toppings and even seared with mayo on top. I asked the young man, why it was served like that and his response was the chef likes to give it to you with different options as he likes. I was not happy, I love just the fish and may some slight soy or a little wasabi but this way no good and it was ruined. Unfortunately the young man forgot to place my chicken yakitori order so I never got it and I was looking forward to trying it. I asked the young man how long they have been opened he said 1 month. I kindly shared some feedback about the food and let him know they will need to do better if they expect repeat customers and to stand out in a very foodie city like Nashville. The fact that the kid didn't even offer to take some of items off the bill or maybe a dessert tells me they still haven't learned the most important lesson in restauranting, happy customers, make repeat customers. This place has a lot of work to do but I would say give them a try and let's see if my experience was an anomaly and I was just an unfortunate victim of new growing pains. Happy to take one for the team. Happy noshing Nashville

    Hawaiian and pink lady roll,  spicy edamame
    Chelsea L.

    I came here with some friends and we ended staying until close! It was such a nice atmosphere; it was very chill and laid back. Kai was our server and she was very sweet and attentive. I highly recommend the Hawaiian roll if you have a sweet tooth. The pink lady was absolutely delicious.

    what a hidden gem... no really, we had trouble even finding it! as you can see the presentation was stunning and they blew away my expectations. it was dead inside when we went and after dining here i was shocked that was so. i'd love to come back!

    Nigiri

    Was looking for some sushi and my partner stumbled upon Maru and we had an amazing experience. We order 9 items for the price of $100! The food was amazing and very fresh. The ambiance was nice and service was great and fast. We will definitely be back.

The moment those elevator doors open, it feels like you've stepped into the skyline itself.The bar setup both inside and outside is absolutely beautiful. The indoor space is polished and vibrant, and once you step out onto the rooftop, the views completely light up the atmosphere. Day or night, the city feels close enough to touch. Sunset up there? Elite. Nighttime? It turns into a glittering panorama that makes every cocktail taste a little better. The vibe is effortlessly cool without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you can dress up a little, sip something classy, and just soak it all in. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience feel amazing Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to see Nashville from a different perspective, this rooftop is always a good idea.

Despite the hotel setting, it feels a bit more 'for the locals' than lower Broad does these days. So whether you are entertaining out of town guests or want to have drinks Downtown, this just might be the spot you're looking for. I had something to celebrate and I wanted to do so in style. It was mid-spring and the weather was perfect so I wanted to take advantage of the short window. I took a ride share to the hotel bc ain't no one got time for Downtown parking rates and bee-lined it to the Lou/Na elevator at the back of the lobby. Once I hit the rooftop, my Friday night began. The atmosphere is every bit as dark, moody (in a good way) and smartly-illuminated as expected. Since I was here for views and good weather, I asked the hostess for an outdoor table. She obliged and I was soon perched along the edge of the roof, staring into the twinkling lights of our ever-expanding skyline. It was well-past the dinner hour and I was craving something sweet. After chatting with my helpful server, I decided on the creme brulee and an espresso martini. Both were excellent. The brulee had a perfect crust and delectable custard that paired well with the martini that veered closer to dry than sweet. I appreciated that. It showed effort went into making the cocktail. I was in my own head so I minded my business and didn't do too much people watching. Despite the time of year and good weather, the roof wasn't too packed. It wasn't empty but it wasn't bustling. That was fine by me but I'm sure the management would disagree. I would point out that Lou/Na has gotten even more popular since when I visited so I'm confident that the crowd on good weather nights has increased. If that's your thing, head over on a Friday. If not, check it out during the week. But if well-made cocktails in a beautiful environment outside the madness of Lower Broad but still Downtown is on your radar, you know where you need to go and what to do. Lou/Na should be in your rotation.

The flavor was really well balanced! I had just the right amount of spice without being overwhelming, paired with a subtle sweetness that made it super enjoyable to keep eating. It came out on a sizzling plate, which not only kept everything hot but also added a nice touch to the presentation and overall experience. The portion size was very generous, which I always appreciate. I ended up having enough leftovers for lunch the next day, and it held up really well! The restaurant itself was clean and had a nice, comfortable atmosphere. Nothing over the top, but definitely a place you can sit down and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. That said, the experience wasn't perfect. The side dishes were a bit limited compared to what I was expecting, especially if you're used to a wider variety. Service was also on the slower side. The staff was friendly and polite, but it did take a few attempts to get their attention when I needed a water refill or wanted a to-go box. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it's something that could definitely be improved. Overall, I'd still recommend Onda if you're looking for flavorful Korean dishes and generous portions. Just be prepared for a more relaxed pace of service. I'd come back again, especially for that spicy pork bulgogi!
