Mari Ichi is hands-down my favorite sushi spot in Hendersonville -- honestly, within a 20-30 minute…read moreradius. It rivals the high-end sushi restaurants in downtown Nashville, and in many ways, it beats them. The fish is consistently exceptionally fresh, the presentation is beautiful, and the restaurant is spotless every time. The staff is warm, attentive, and efficient -- food comes out quickly whether you're enjoying a sit-down dinner or stopping in on a tight schedule. Must-tries: * Avocado Bomb -- unique, stunning, and packed with flavor. * Tuna Lover Roll -- pro tip: ask for the crispy fried scallions (not listed anymore, but they'll add them if you ask -- and it takes the roll to the next level!). * Yellowtail Hamachi -- fresh, clean, and melt-in-your-mouth perfect. They also have fantastic lunch bento boxes -- ideal if you want a little bit of everything. Options like bulgogi, katsu, and chicken teriyaki make it easy to get a balanced, filling lunch on the go without sacrificing quality or flavor. Pricing is very fair for the quality -- not the cheapest spot in town, but you absolutely get what you pay for: premium ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a consistently great dining experience. Whether it's date night, a family meal, a business lunch, or a quick midday sushi craving, Mari Ichi always delivers. Friendly service, fresh fish, fast kitchen, and consistently excellent food -- what more can you ask for? Can't wait for my next visit!

I experienced Maru Ichi as Maru Iyagi…read more Ordering (walkable retrieval) food online from my hotel in the early winter was harder than I thought. I knew I wanted something a little more elevated than fast food but nothing overly fancy (for which you should always do dine in). After striking out with my first choice, I came across Maru. I didn't know if it was related to the other Maru restaurants found around Middle Tennessee. I assumed it was (bad assumption? I'm asking) and, led by my good experience at Maru in East End, I made my way to Maru Iyagi.* Hoofing it, I took notice of how inviting the shopping center where the restaurant is located is. It was a reminder that Hendersonville has money (said in my best Quinta-before-*she*-had-money voice). Because of all the flim flammery involved in me looking for a restaurant, I ordered later than I'd planned. This was a mistake. Food workers don't like last minute orders. I get it. I was once one. I didn't like them. I walked in to a mostly empty dining room and bothered service. I get it. Not wanting to be (more of) a burden, I opted for fried rice rather than being so involved as to order sushi. I added shrimp (for protein) to my rice for an extra $3. I walked in, approached the hostess, asked for my order, was led to the bar area, got my food very quickly after that (ruh roh, Shaggy), thanked everyone profusely, and walked back to my hotel. The rice was... okay. Granted, it's fried rice and not a complicated order but I was a bit taken aback by how quickly it was ready. My $3 shrimp were small and hard to come by. This was not a meal made with love. Again, I get it. I've been there. Noted. If there's a next time, I'll be sure to get my order in early. The majority of customers seem to be fans. *Ichi.

This place is always busy, and were told the wait would be about an hour and a half. Thankfully, my husband kept an eye on the bar area and managed to grab a seat as soon as one opened up.

Our drinks arrived promptly, and we were able to place our food order right away. We enjoyed chatting with other patrons while soaking in the cool breeze, great atmosphere, and delicious food and drinks. The drunken shrimp were absolutely outstanding -- definitely something I'll be ordering again on our next visit.

I ordered the VIP Roll (baked) and the Tour Bus Roll (also baked) and they were incredible, so fresh, flavorful and perfectly done. I originally came in just to pick up ToGo, but I sat at the bar to place my order and had such a great experience. They were so kind, offered me water while I waited, kept me updated on my order and actually took the time to get to know me. They even let me talk about my new boutique, Rockin' Rowan and supported me on Instagram, which meant more than they probably realized. Amazing food, amazing service and genuinely kind people. This place never disappoints.

I absolutely love the vibe, as a rock chick and musician, how could I not ;) The bar's lights are Elvis mics, guitars on the wall, a drum set in the "attic" and by the entrance, the entire deco in there is so inviting. They have screens playing 90's and classic rock music videos. I ordered a green tea and got it in a christmas cup (so cute), we had the Alabama Roll, Eel Roll and Veggie Solo. It was delicious. Our server Hannah was super sweet and attentive. Only thing I didn't like was being charged 80 cents for more ginger and wasabi. I got it anyway but I've never had a sushi place charge me extra for each. However that won't stop me from going back. They have Tuesday Trivia, I can see that being fun. Hightly recommend!

The inside of the restaurant was dark and dreary. I'm pretty spoiled having eaten so many times in NYC's Chinatown, and knowing the best authentic Chinese/Asian restaurants in southern CA.
