    Sushi was great and a good price. We got try a couple of different ones. Really enjoyed our experience, will be coming back.

    This is a review of the newer Hermitage location. It's pretty tiny with a small sushi bar, about 5 4-tops and a long family style table. It appears that the husband and wife team are the only people working. The husband rolls the sushi and the wife deals with the tables and soups. The menu is 99% sushi. They have a wide variety of rolls and the prices are very reasonable. You get a form and a pen and mark down what you want, and the woman comes and picks it up. There is also a separate menu that describes each roll. I heard the kimchi is delicious. It was $7.95 for an order of it. After living in South Korea, where kimchi is always sent to the table as a side at no cost, paying almost twice as much as the cost of the seaweed salad for a side of kimchi did not sit well with me. We didn't order the kimchi. The miso soup was good. The seafood salad was good. The taste of the rolls was solid, but execution needs some work. Most of the rolls were not sealed well so they unrolled as you picked them up. Also they were cut very unevenly. As in, one slice would be a half an inch, the next would be 1 inch tall. I've never seen such inconsistencies. There is a huge sign that says BYOB, but then on the menu there is a line item for byobing. $5. Is that per person? Per table? Per drink? I don't know- but if they don't have a license to serve alcohol- I'm not sure why they think customers should have to pay to drink that their restaurant. There was a man at the table next to us who had a few cans of beer on the table, and they didn't even offer to put the extras in the fridge. Seems like a verrrry lame claw to make profit off of them investing nothing in a liquor license. The worst part about this place is the way you leave smelling. They have a big pot of oil where they deep fry some rolls. I didn't particularly notice a smell when we walked in, but when I got home I noticed my clothes smelled like fry oil. That smell is so repulsive to me. I changed my clothes, and even the next morning my hair had that smell. For this reason alone I would not eat here again. There are a lot of great sushi restaurants in the area, but sadly this is not one of them in my opinion.

    Don't miss this place! Hard to see from road but The food is perfection. Sushi is fresh and delicious. Korean dishes are legit. The owners are the best. Can't recommend enough!

    This place is great all around. Very hole in the wall, authentic sushi -- run by a husband and wife duo. The husband is behind the sushi bar and the wife was running the rest of the show which doesn't equate for the best service and timing (along with them having to keep up with to go orders, as well). Although, Mrs. Lee was doing the best she could on a busy Friday night! We waited for about an hour and half for our food. I loved that we were able to bring our own wine and drinks in. The rolls were delicious, all the food was fresh and tasty! Rolls we had: Titan, Playboy, 007, Chef's Special, and Kentrucky. Cannot go wrong with any of them. My brother had the ramen and he said it was incredible. We enjoyed our meal, but we all agreed we would try and do takeout next time instead of eating inside just because of the wait. Great place to eat good and support local, though!

    The kind of sushi place nashville needs. No frills. BYOB. Great quality ingredients. Decent prices. You simply cannot beat it! I felt at home here and will absolutely be back.

    Terrific sushi with friendly owners tucked away in East Nashville. We'll definitely be back!

    Great sushi choices, fair pricing, and a parking lot! My first impression of sushi circle will definitely be bringing me back. The owners were very sweet and attentive and the small intimate setting felt just right. The sushi itself was good! I don't eat fish (so take this review maybe with a grain of salt??), so I ordered the veggie combo roll and have no complaints. My boyfriend (loves sushi) really enjoyed their Philadelphia roll and salmon roll. The smoked salmon in the philly roll was all sorts of perfect (even I braved it to sample it). Check them out when you're in the neighborhood!

    Way too overpriced and the rolls are soooo tiny. Too bad, because the sushi was actually very good.

    This is a very small and off the radar restaurant tucked away in East Nashville, but it is worth the adventure in finding it.

    This is one of the rare times the Yelp reviews don't live up to my expectations. I'm giving 4 stars…read morebecause the staff was so friendly and kind, and I don't want to trash a small business. This is a no-frills, smaller restaurant inside a strip of stores in a questionable-looking area of town. As I parked the car, I thought twice about actually going in, but based on the Yelp reviews, I decided to give it a try. It was clean inside, and, as I mentioned, the service and staff were 5-star! My food was where it went wrong for me. I started with the summer rolls (the ones in rice paper); they serve sushi and Thai food here. I have been craving summer rolls; I love the freshness of the mint and herbs, combined with crunchy peanuts and peanut sauce. However, that fell short for me here. The peanut sauce was reddish and tasted more like ketchup, so that was a letdown. No little peanuts anywhere in the sauce or on the plate. It was jam-packed with iceberg lettuce, which you would typically put on a Taco, so it wasn't very fresh-tasting, and it contained the tiniest piece of shrimp I've ever seen inside. Following my gut, I decided not to order my usual sushi selection, which is always raw, unfried, and unsauced. However, I decided to play it safe, so I opted for a Mexican roll instead. I asked for no eel sauce, but I should have also specified that I wanted spicy mayo on the side. It covered my roll, and I had to use a napkin to remove what I could. This is usually a roll that is around $6 to $10, but for some reason, they were charging $14. They made the rolls bigger, but not by filling them with more shrimp, avocado, etc.; instead, they added more rice. This may be someone's cup of tea, but it wasn't mine, and I won't be back, but wish them the best!

The sushi is so fresh here. Service is nice and efficient. It's a small place with a few tables and no waiting area, but don't let a wait deter you. And, if you have any room in your tummy after dinner, definitely order the mango sticky rice for dessert. I say I will try some of the hot dishes here, but the sushi always wins.
