An OUT of this WORLD experience. With limited seating, the people at sushi bar ensure you get the intimate experience you're looking for. You get to interact with the chefs, with the people around you, and you walk up to an engraved plaque of your name at your seat!! So cool. The chefs here are friendly and knowledgeable, but also MASTERFUL. When I tell you, their sushi is unmatched. Every bite is intentional. It is perfectly paced at 17 courses with just the right portion sizes. The fish is soooo fresh and tasty, and they also have a wide variety of different kinds! You get to try just about everything under the sun. And man, these nigiri were umami, they were decadent, they were flavorful, they were SPLENDID!! I find it amazing to get to experience the art from the masters of this craft firsthand. 100000% would recommend a visit here. I promise, I guarantee, you won't regret it. read more

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!! Sushi is my favorite food, so I have had it probably more than any other food type all over from LA to Vancouver to GA to NY and Spain, and Sushi Bar wasn't just the best sushi I have ever had but it was the best dinner I have ever had! I will be dreaming about this for a long time!! Yes it is the most expensive meal we have also had, but IMO it's worth it for a very special occasion or if you have the means, definitely give it a try! Also, the sake (dream something) is very good! Hats off to the chef, the menu was amazeballs!! read more

Sushi Bar did not disappoint. This sophisticated omakase speakeasy nestled in a private space adjacent to Golden Sound is an elevated dining experience. The 12 courses were not only skillfully presented, each course was a tantalizing journey through regional selections that left you eagerly anticipating the next bite., Arrive early to enjoy the welcome cocktail and lovely lounge area and prepare for an unforgettable night. I opted for the champagne pairing and trust me it was well worth the splurge. If you're looking for a more intimate and upscale option SB would be a great choice. No onsite parking available and reservations are required. Enjoy! Cheers, the pictures tell it all. read more

This is a toughie. The food was delicious! We tasted some unique flavor profiles, enjoyed the fresh fish, and washed it down with their sake pairings BUT, it is insanely expensive. This is the most I have ever paid for a meal including some fine dining experiences in Vegas. It's almost laughable expensive. They will nickel-and-dime you to the end. As the last seating, we're offering a special cut for only a cool $$ amount of money. For the amount we all just paid, and were auto tipped, you couldn't throw it in?! If you have the money to spend, sure, make a reso! The space is nice, the staff was incredibly friendly, the food was interesting, and the service came correct. For the rest of us, it may be a place that provokes a philosophical debate of how much are you willing to pay for 17 bites? read more

Best sushi I've ever had! Overall one of the most fun dining experts well. Highly recommend and cannot wait to get back.

Sushi bar omakase experience was really special and fun. We loved the ambiance and the care the chefs put into each course. The flavors are impressive and creative. It's also quite a show to see the team work together, and the timing is expert. There were only a few pieces we didn't enjoy (we never like mackerel, and there was a weird taco one. Husband didn't like the unagi flavor profile). One thing we didn't like was how they kept trying to do little add on prices throughout the night. Felt tacky. We feel like they should just make the overall experience more expensive and give people everything. Overall, it was the best meal of our trip and we would recommend it. read more

Outstanding! It's a level of curation that I've never before seen in a sushi restaurant. From the private waiting area and dining spaces, to the welcoming staff, and the incredible food, this restaurant truly delivers an unforgettable experience. read more

VERY good. Very expensive. Ive been to my fair share of expensive omakase's, but this place was a little too expensive given that the chefs don't cut the fish slices precisely (some rounds you get a bigger piece than others, other rounds your piece is smaller)... that's what is suppose to set apart an elite omakase place from a basic/standard place (that and quality of course). Also I'm all for an automatic gratuity but 22% is not industry standard - usually it's 18% (even 20% would be fine since the place is "high-end). If you're going as a duo, don't expect your bill to be less than $500 if you each order one drink. read more

Holy moly where to begin. Impeccable service. Indescribably delicious sushi bites with the freshest fish and most creative flavors I have ever had. The whole experience from entering the door (that I couldn't find) with the welcome cocktail to the seating name plates in a private intimate room is absolutely worth it. I already want to go back! read more

My friend and I came to celebrate my birthday. This experience felt very special. Our reservation was for 5:45 pm, but they let us know to show up 15 minutes early for a welcome drink. When we arrived we were in a private room with other patrons and a lovely cocktail and mocktail to sip on before our names were called to eat. It seems they wait for everyone to arrive before they seat you all so it's very important to not be late or you'll hold up the other patrons and the service itself. Once our names were called, we were led into a back room and found our name plates, which were our seats. A handwritten card was waiting for us, which I thought was a lovely little touch. The food. This omakase spot had a variety of different dishes for us to try, but the unique thing was the toppings. Each dish had a carefully executed topping oozing with flavor onto the meat. The meats were all very tender and easy to eat. The chefs would tell you about each dish before serving you. Each dish was carefully crafted and looked very appetizing. A tip- If you go, be sure to keep the plate they serve the meat on - on the counter!!! Some guests kept bringing their plate down and it would disrupt the flow a little bit. Overall, I really enjoyed this experience. I liked learning about each dish, the name cards, the welcome cocktail, the dishes all looked wonderful, and the dessert was the perfect refreshing way to end. I am not giving it 5 stars because for me while the toppings were unique and tasty, they were also a bit overpowering and didn't always allow you to taste the actual fish. I really like fish so that may be a preference. The restaurant definitely takes extra steps to make this a special night out. So while the toppings may have been overpowering for me, I would come back again. Oh one thing I thought was very unique was that they not only had a sake pairing option, but a wine pairing option, a champagne pairing option, and a premier sake pairing option! I felt that was another nice touch because not everyone loves sake so if you have a friend that loves wine or champagne then they have options besides sake. read more

This is amazing little spot. The food was great and service was spot on. I highly recommend!

This was one of our favorite food experiences we have had in Nashville. First and foremost the service was very accommodating, helpful and friendly. You will get a complimentary drink when you arrive while waiting to be sat. We were celebrating my fiancés birthday and they had a handwritten card written for him when we sat down. Secondly, the food was unreal. SO GOOD. Pictures don't do it justice. We loved it and would highly recommend for a celebration or anniversary dinner! It is a bit pricey, but it's worth it. read more

Wonderful experience. They text you a couple days before your reservation to get the names of people in your party so they can personalize the experience with name cards at your seat. You arrive early for a welcome champagne cocktail in a separate lounge, then you are led to a 16 course sushi tasting menu. They explain each dish and make the sushi in front of you. It was so delicious! My one recommendation would be to eat a modest dinner a few hours beforehand. Not very filling, I would treat it as a tasting and definitely get a bottle of sake, their selection is great. read more

Wow! That is the one word I would use. SB is nestled within the must go Golden Sounds Bar with a private room of only 12 seats with omakase choices based on what is available and fresh that day. You are recommended to arrive 15 mins before your reservation and are greeted in an intimate lounge setting by the hostess and provided a cocktail recommendations. This is wonderful. It allows you to wind down after battling the traffic to get to The Gulch. It IS an experience that is well worth the cost. Three engaging sushi chefs will inform you about the unique 17 pieces of nigiri with potential additional special offerings of the day. We had caviar and white truffle options. The ambiance was absolutely fantastic. They have options of a full bar, two different sake pairings, wine, champagne and also a Japanese whiskey pairing. The service was perfect. Personally I think a sushi novice will enjoy this experience as much as a well versed sushi aficionado. I'll be back VERY soon. Be open to new possibilities!! Enjoy!!!!!! Reservation is a must! read more

Great night out at Sushi Bar! I came with a good buddy and we had a great time. The Saki pairing was a good move and adding a Sapporo on the side is a veteran play. The chefs were a fun group, professional, very knowledgeable on the 14 courses and made the experience fun. We did the 5:45pm on a Friday and were out at 7:45. The bar they are attached to was a cool vibe and good scene for a post dinner drink. Thanks team and look forward to coming back. read more

Sushi Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

It is quite exciting to see Nashville have a sushi omakase now. Sushi Bar Nashville is one of five locations from the Sushi Bar Hospitality group. This is my first time dining with them and long story short it was a great time. From start to finish, the meal was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was expertly crafted, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and textures that delighted the palate. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall enjoyment, with its sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. You start off the evening with a refreshing cocktail at Golden Sound and once it is time to enter the dining area, you are taken to the private sushi bar where you'll enjoy the meal. I appreciated the chefs' detailed explanations of each course, which enhanced the dining experience by providing insightful context and highlighting the artistry behind each dish. The chefs also encourage interaction with them as well as your fellow patrons. This is great for extroverts but if you're someone who is more introverted then that could be a negative. Overall, it was a memorable experience that combined exquisite cuisine with a thoughtful presentation and a warm, inviting setting. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-tier omakase adventure. I will certainly go back again to see how the menu evolves with the seasons. read more

WOW! A culinary experience i've never encountered in Nashville- and I've been here 13 years. Enter 15 minutes early and receive a complimentary welcome cocktail in a really vibe-y area. You are then escorted into the main dining area that seats about 12 for a very intimate and personalized experience! Anthony was so knowledgeable about the foods, Daniel was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and Travis was constantly around in case we needed anything else. They ask for allergies before you get there and confirm when you arrive. Please note, there is not a menu, it is omakase and it will be mainly sushi/fish - meaning you can't just decide you want a steak instead, but trust me, you want what they serve you!! I will be going back!! It was amazing, a perfect date night spot or even solo- everyone was chatting so you will get to know the people around you (if you want to)! read more

A truly unique and superb experience. I've been to the Austin location and had high expectations. The experience is curated from the moment you arrive and get a welcome cocktail in the lounge. The room is small and your 17 types of nigiri are listed in order behind the chef. The quality of seafood was the best in Nashville and the creativity in each bite was refreshing. Every bite was different and I had multiple flavor combinations I have never had before. They have a decent sake menu but also offer curated sake and champagne pairings should you choose. Highly recommend. read more

The food, service, ambulance was 10 out of 10! But I will say the bill for two people was over $800 (without tip). That is also without the additions that they offer before you get there (caviar and truffle). We did the wine and sake pairings. If you are a sushi/nigiri lover, this is top tier sushi but that does come with a price tag. If you're down to spend that much on a dinner, then this is the place for you! read more

This place is truly exceptional. I moved to Nashville from Vegas so I am not new to fine dining but this restaurant deserves the recognition. The meal was not only an absolute delight but also an educational experience, as the chef explained each dish's nuances and the innovative techniques to craft the flavour profiles. We opted for the sake pairings which also did not disappoint. From the welcome cocktail to the last bite no attention to detail was missed. Absolutely a culinary masterpiece and a must-try for any sushi enthusiast. This would be an excellent choice for celebrating any of life's milestones or if you simply want to treat yourself. Highly recommended and plan on dining again in the future when I have family in town. read more

Memorable experience. Will book a 9:30 seating again and hope they have an optional extra delicious bite afterward for $20 (in this case otoro with frozen shaved fois gras on top). Lots of clever flavor combinations that work very well, with the only miss imo being the one w the dollop of salsa on it. Almost had fish taco vibes but the intent was thoughtful and well executed. Delicious sake pairing for $95, highly recommended. Would have liked at least 1-2 more hand rolls, as there was only 1 (tartare 1st roll) included in the 16 courses (17th is desert). Unless ya get lucky at the 9:30 seating there isn't an option to buy additional pieces of your favorite bites. Do not come hungry, view it as edible art. Eat a snack before to make the most out of this experience. The head sushi chef and his staff are all very engaging which is a nice touch as some of these type of places the staff is cold/distant. The pacing is perfect, you never feel stuck. The next piece is being prepared before your eyes and then one of the staff explains in detail the process & ingredients. 2 hours flew bye. Would be 5 stars but had to eat afterwards after spending $470 due to being still hungry ($165 is just the starting rate for the omakase... you'll want the truffle and caviar upgrades they offer pre meal for the 2 pieces they pair with, and ya won't regret it..) . Granted, $30 of that was due to them not notifying me of the pre-dinner free cocktail so I had to buy an OF at the bar in the front of the establishment which I came to find out is a completely different business. You might be thinking this is user error - and you're correct - but upon sitting down we asked the bartender if we were in the right spot for the sushi place and he said yes. And after responding to Sushi Bar's "where are you" text with "at the bar", they didn't come get us nor did they offer the complimentary cocktail when waiting in the lounge area pre-dinner (about 10 mins of sitting on a chair looking to make eye contact with someone to order another drink). At the time I wasn't even aware I was supposed to get the free cocktail, as the guest I went with received the instructions, I'm just reading other reviews and feeling a tad slighted. Wordy complaint but don't get it twisted, this place is fantastic, serving up the city's finest sushi and I'll definitely be coming back in the future! read more

3 for clean interior and ambience Food was mediocre not the freshest but covered with tasting topping that overpowered the fish lol probably for a reason. I pay good money for omakase mainly for fresh fish but also to watch masters of their craft slice up and make sushi.usually you have 1 chef who you get to chat with and know make your food all night. Here the chefs rotate making the food so every bite comes different. When you've eaten a lot of nigiri you can tell when it's made well. Eating sushi all around the world i could tell right away that some Chefs were not sushi masters or even close lol which is fine for them but when I'm spending $500 for 2 I want it done professionally. Overall the place seems like a knock off of real omakase- save it for NY or Japan! read more

We had an 8 person seating on a Sunday evening at Sushi Bar and had a fantastic dinner and experience. The 17 nigiri bites were all great (starts with 1 hand roll and ends with a dessert). We're not huge sake fans so paired dinner with white wine by the glass. The chefs did a good job explaining the ingredients and the process and were pleasant and fun. They're about to change up the menu - highly recommend Sushi Bar! read more

American omakase. Nothing is super fresh so they cover the sushi with a lot of toppings to mask the mediocre fish- the chefs are not professional.
