Why would they have online ordering open if their restaurant is already closed before their hours say that they're closed?! It says they close at 9:30 PM, I ordered my food at 8:30. I'm beyond livid. Next day update: I called them and let them know what happened. They were super nice and apologetic. They made my food I came and picked it up and she gave me a free drink. She was really nice. The food on the other hand is just mildly OK at best. My expectations were already very low because it's Tennessee and it's Gallatin so I wasn't expecting anything different but I definitely would never come back here. Service was great though they're super nice and maybe if I ate this there would've been different. I don't wanna bash this place because everybody's taste buds are different. And I'm also from California. I grew up eating sushi so I have a higher standard of what I declare as good sushi. I did get I think two cooked rolls, I got lovely couple in the best friend role and a vegetable role in the miso soup. Miso soup is OK I've had way worse, but I've also had better, but it's definitely my favorite out of the four items I got. The rolls wouldn't be too bad if they weren't so dry. They just feel so dry and extremely cooked through and the shrimp has a bit of a fishy after taste. They were really nice though.

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.

I also ordered a spam musubi and Thai teak with boba. The clerk was incredibly patient and even let me sample some of the flavors before I made my final decision. Although I ordered my meal to go, I would love to dine in the next time the interior was clean, cheerful, and offered plenty of seating.

I have first hand experience with a large variety of Viet dishes from Saigon, Thu Duc and Vung Tau, RVN whilst I was deployed at Long Binh Jail. That being said, I am a SoCal transplant and used to what I have considered to be among the BEST Viet dishes I have eaten anywhere. The basis of any decent phó is the broth. Normally, the broth is prepared 6-8 hours before the first bowl is prepared and served. Th broth at Vui had no depth or complexity; it is just broth. The noodles, veggies and meat (beef in our case) were already in the bowl when brought to us, not on a plate to be mixed into the broth. We also had their goi cuon, called summer rolls. They were meh. All in all, the phó was adequate to satisfy my craving, but nowhere near what I've come to expect. I have found 3 Viet restaurants in west Nashville that are worth the drive.
