I had the Tuna and Salmon Poke Inari for the first time ever here and it blew me away, absolutely delicious! The only thing I could even say I would change/add is a few chairs for indoor seating especially with the heatwave of a summer we've had. Overall, this place is fantastic! Hope to see them reopen somewhere new soon!

Fresh fish in TN? Yes, here you can get it. They have the market part and they also have classes to…read moremake sushi. We came here on a Sunday and had a great time. They give you everything you need to make delicious and fresh sushi. You get to do 3 different type of rolls. The easy hand roll and two other rolls. The class was about 45 mins or 1 hour. It didn't feel rush and when the class was done we could take our time to finish eating whatever sushi you had left. The. Place is very clean and it does NOT smell like fish. They have a sushi making kit so you don't have to feel you have to buy all ingredients separately and special the ones that are just for that one time sushi adventure at home. Their prices are very reasonable for what they offer and the freshness of their ingredients and fish. We were informed that 1 City will no longer be there as the city of Nashville thinks we need more apartments and condos and they will demolish the area to make space for them, so they are looking for a new location. So go try them while they are there and enjoy the experience.

If you want a classic tiki experience in Nashville, this is the place to go…read more I love a good tiki bar, and try to visit one in every city I travel to. While in Nashville, I visited three of them (as far as I can tell, there are only three in the city). The Pearl Diver is far and away the best tiki bar in Nashville. The drinks are excellent, with both classics and unique creations on the menu. The service is quick and friendly. I couldn't believe how fast the bartender could crank out quality tiki drinks! She knows what she's doing. The food is tasty, with a fun Asian/Latin American fusion that fits the theming. Perhaps most importantly to me, the atmosphere was on point. I go to a tiki bar to relax and escape the busyness of a big city. For that reason, they should be laid-back, tropical, and festively decorated. This place checks all the boxes!

Pearl diver is a festive dive bar that never disappoints during the holidays. The staff here is…read morevery welcoming and pretty quick with providing service. Not a lot of seating inside, but plenty outside. I suggest getting there early especially during the cold months. There are heaters on the patio in case you aren't seated inside. I do not recommend the pierogis. They were hot on the outside but somewhat cold on the inside and lacked flavor. You can tell these aren't something that's made in house. More like a heat up and serve. I would definitely just stick to ordering drinks here. They do have a Photo Booth, so be sure to document the good time you and your people have here. It's a vibe for sure.

Food Excellent! Everything was so fresh and there were…read moreplenty of options. Service I appreciated being able to sample the proteins before choosing one's for my bowl. Also, the lady making the boba tea was very bubbly and made us feel welcome. Keep in mind, the tea is handled in a different part of the restaurant with its own kiosk. Ambiance Plenty of natural light and had a few seats inside. Definitely will be going back!

The staff here is very friendly and attentive. We found an online deal so we decided to try it…read more This was an ok bowl. I was a bit disappointed because even though the regular comes with 3 scoops of protein, realistically it's not that much. They use the tiniest ice cream spoons scoopers they could find. They cut the fish in big pieces so you get like 3 pieces of fish. Their spicy tuna is a salad and mixed so it's more like a puree. The rice is good. I mixed the rice with some salad greens and that adds a good balance for me. You get 5 toppings to add to your bowl then they charge extra per extra toppings. They also have dry toppings like onions and garlic and it's a good addition and flavor oils too. They also have a boba bar but we didn't try it. They have bottle drinks like coke and teas to purchase on a fridge by the register. The inside is clean and it has enough space but it's not a big place. They have tables and a couch like seating. They do not have outdoor seating. They are in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking spaces. Definitely a busy area but we came after the rush so it was easy get to and to order once there. Overall is an ok place for a lunch meal. I'm not sure if I would pay for the full price but I would get the online deal if available and I'm in the area.

I'm huge fan of O-Ku! Located in Germantown, it is a perfect addition considering all the changes…read morethe area is currently experiencing. So far on all my visits, we've arrived without a reservation and were able to find seating at the bar where we were able to order food and beverages. That said, considering how busy the place always seems to be, I recommend a making a reservation if you are looking to sit in the main dining area. The place has a cool, upscale, modern- Japanese feel to it and is always well maintained. The main dining area is spacious and consists of table/chair combos along with booth seating. From the staff at the door to the bartenders, service is always 5-star. Everyone is always welcoming and helpful. Everything I've had here is always tasty. Some of my favorites include the Crispy Rice, the Shogun and the Tennessee Two Step. While they do have a full bar, they have some unique cocktails on the menu which I highly recommend trying. I always look forward to visiting O-Ku whenever I'm in the area.

O-ku has a cool, upscale atmosphere, but the food doesn't quite live up to the setting or the…read moreprice. The sushi was fine, but at this price point, I expected it to be much more memorable. 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.

While visiting Panther Creek Brews there was a non-descript food truck there with a hand-written…read moremenu. I took a look at the menu and it didn't really resemble what most food trucks offer. The offerings indicated someone who cooked using a bit of flair and looked like they knew how to enhance a dish with sauces. I selected the Rosemary Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas. Now these are not like any quesadilla I've had as a "appetizer" at many restaurants, this was a creative melding of intricate flavors into a quasi-soft shell taco/quesadilla. The grilled chicken had great flavor and the bacon and ranch really complemented the quesadilla. The tortilla was perfect, slightly crisp, and held the entire quesadilla together and didn't fall apart after the first bite. To top it all off...I got to meet the owners/operators Frankie and Tony Wong. This couple works hard, serve up great food, and are really fun to talk to. Highly recommend you like and subscribe to their FB Page. Their menu is a dry erase board and changes daily, I can't wait to see what special item they will create next. https://www.facebook.com/Myrootsfoodtruck

This food truck stopped by today for lunch so I went out and grabbed a bite. It was pretty good and…read moredefinitely large portions! The TRIPLE LAYER TOMATO AND BASIL GRILLED CHEESE ON SOURDOUGH was delish! Soft, with a crunchy outside and surprisingly not too much bread. A good amount of cheese and flavor. I'd definitely recommend. CRINKLE CUT FRIES were over cooked. I'm sad to say I didn't even finish them, which is rare for me since this cut of fries is my absolute favorite! Just too crunch and the flavor was heavy on the oil, rather than potato. Total cost was $9 before tip, which made it one of the least expensive items on the truck. Customer service was professional. Food was made quickly and from order. Pretty good, IMO.

They gave us great recommendations too cuz we didn't know what we wanted at first. Can't wait to go back and try more things ! Great location too! We ordered and walked across the street and got some stuff from gas station. And when we got back it was all ready ! I'd def stop on here and try it out if you're looking for some good non-chain food in the area !

Amazing shaved ice! It's fresh and made to order, can't go wrong especially when it's summer.read more

Went here for a Wednesday lunch. It was quite busy, but no issues getting a table. For five…read morepeople, we ordered The Texas Trinity and a Pulled Pork plate. The food: Sausages were really flavorful and brisket was nicely smoked (tender). Ribs and pulled pork were good too. Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. One of my friends described this as a Lemon Bar without the Lemon. This was good but sweet. For sides, I would rank them as Queso Y Mac, Honey Poppy Seed Slaw, 4 Bean Baked Beans, Jalapeño Cornbread, Mr Tony's Magic Green Beans. Nothing a standout. I actually really liked the complimentary pickles and pickled onions the best. Texas Toast is just sliced white bread. The meats were fantastic and the dessert was nice to top it off. The sides were pretty good. This was one of our favorite meals on the trip, if not THE favorite.
