Really fresh sushi & sashimi. Consistency and quality excellent. Rainbow Roll and Fred salmon sashimi.

A very plain, ordinary Sushi restaurant. Veggie Tempura appt was best part of the meal. Our two rolls were two star quality. Service was acceptable, nothing special about the ambience. read more

The service was spectacular, and the atmosphere is outstanding, very quiet and respectful. I was greeted at the door immediately and felt welcome. Food was fantastic couldn't ask for better read more

Very decent quality for the area. Small town, but decent fish. They really play up the Japanese culture thing, which can be a little awkward. But the food is worth the price. read more

Such a good place to eat. I was in town for a little while and was craving sushi. This was a good spot to pick 5/5 service too. I have nothing wrong to say. read more

Very fresh! The fruit tea was amazing and the roll I ordered that had strawberries? Out of this world. Don't let the "strip mall" outside appearance throw you off...this place or amazing. Great service, too! read more

Sushi Max - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lebanon, Tennessee

I've lived In Lebanon for over 10 years and had never eaten here - I wish I had tried it sooner. Stopped in for lunch today and was greeted by the sweetest Japanese couple. Ordered one of the sushi lunch boxes with rolls and nigiri and it was fresh and delicious. Service was fast and pleasant! Unassuming place in a strip mall near the square but definitely worth a visit! read more

I liked this place. The sushi was different than a typical place. The roll I had was called titanic, I believe. It had kiwi and cereal. Sounded weird... felt like I had to have it! It was actually delicious. The downside to this place... there's honestly not a lot of options. They have about a page of sushi, typical soup and salad... but that's about it. I generally just like more to choose from, but the roll I got was definitely delicious. read more

Sushi Max - Titanic roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lebanon, Tennessee

My family has been eating with Max and Grace for over six years. It's a treat to visit with them and enjoy a great meal out. Ok...most times, I get a Love Boat to go! It's so easy to call in a to go order compared to getting grocery store sushi. Plus it taste better too! We love the "Kim Roll" which was renamed to the Love Love Roll. Regardless of what it's called...it's GREAT! Max starts with a California Roll, adds avocado and strawberries. Then he tops it off with a crunch of granola and eel sauce. Stop in and you'll see that you don't have to travel to the big city to get great sushi! read more

Kindest owners, amazing food, literally one of the best sushi places I've been 10/10. The woman I believe the wife is the sweetest and the husband I believe seems like such a nice person as well. read more

There sushi is good for the price. The rolls are small though. Also their hours are weird. I definitely like to order from here when I am craving sushi and don't want to drive more than 10 minutes. read more

I went today at 1230 for lunch, upon walking in there were two tables sat. I have given this place more than one opportunity to disappoint and this was the last time. the place closes at 130 but they didn't have time to make a to go order or sit me down as one person. So I walked out. The server who is the owner is short with people and rude. The prices for sushi are to high for what you get. They never keep good hours. The door hours never matches what they actually serve. she tends to stand at the register and watch people while they eat until your dimensional eating your last bite and the bento box comes with fruit more like four grapes. I won't go back and the sushi is very small for what you pay. read more

Rude and always closes early. Good food BUT service SUCKS! Who closes at 1:10pm when lunch is till 2pm -- out of rice?!? You are a Sushi place!! read more

If you expect to be a successful business add a menu to your web page or find a way to offer an online menu. Gonna find a place local that does and more than likely it will be Sake. Sorry SushiMax... read more

How have we missed this great little sushi bar? Like sushi? Go there. Fast, friendly service. read more

The food is good and the couple that owns it are very friendly. This place is definitely on the expensive side. Another thing about this restaurant is that they have weird hours and never seem to be open when we want to go. It's almost become a game with my husband and I actually calling out that sushi max is actually open(similar to calling slug bug!) when we drive by. read more

Sushi is great and the people running it are the nicest people you could meet! Highly recommend

I've been going by this place all the time. Always wanted to try them out. Took my beautiful wife there for her birthday. They are outstanding. We will be back more often. Got the titanic and loved every bite. If you love sushi, try them out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Got the bento box lunch for $9.95. Miso soup, salad, 8 California rolls, and 4 "chefs choice" fish things. All different. It was very fresh. Very good. The only one I couldn't eat was shrimp. It looked beautiful, but tails gross me out. I almost went 4 stars because the "fruit" that was included with the lunch consisted of 3 canned pineapple chunks. Then I remembered where I was. This is a small, casual lunch type place. Reminds me of a Subway, but Japanese! Everything else was great! read more

Thoughtful gracious service matches delicate fresh sushi. Love coming here. Best sushi east of Los Angeles.

Never been here, only reason why I came was because it was highly rated on yelp and my town pretty much only has fast food as an option. Once walking in to the empty establishment 7pm on a Saturday night, the oriental woman immediately says "we sell sushi here". That was the warm welcoming I received to a place that would want me to spend money there. Upon that we sit down while we were brought menus and a form to fill out, had no clue on what to do. What really turned me off was when she goes behind the roll counter and procedure to point and mock with occasional points towards our direction. Decided that we shall leave instead of becoming an unpleasant person. I've been to numerous top of the line sushi/eatery establishments but never just got tossed to a chair and left to rot. I'll never go back. Goes to show that their food must not be so great as their customer service skills. read more

I was a little put off by the front of the restaurant, not because it was dirty or not neat, but rather because it looked a bit like a fast-food sushi place, not a restaurant. Don't let appearances fool you. This restaurant is run by two people, I believe a husband and wife team. The husband is the one who is the sushi chef, and the female/wife is the waitress. The place has about 10 tables and a sushi bar that seats about 14. The lunch specials are good and you can get a sushi deluxe bento box for about $16. It includes salad, and three types of sushi rolls. The salmon skin hand roll is pretty tasty too. The fried dumplings/gyoza are tasty but petite in size. If you can eat a lot, you can easily spend about $100 in here for two people, but sushi is usually more on the expensive side. The sushi here is fresh and tasty, and well worth the price. The place has a few choices for beers including Sapporo. This restaurant is pretty authentic as well, the only thing it doesn't have that most other sushi places do is natto. It does have uni, which I have not tried at this location, but everything else that I have tried-- either nigiri or maki handroll style was fresh and tasty. It is by far the best in Lebanon. (And others may compare it to Sake. My opinion is that Sake is great for stir-fry and teriyaki, but Sushi Max is way better for sushi.) read more

I should have known there was a problem when I didnt see any yelp reviews at all on this place. All the reviews on yahoo were 5 star and glowing. I recently moved to Lebanon Tn from San Francisco CA. I will admit that I was spoiled with the quality of sushi I received there. For this reason I have hesitated trying any local places. I went to Sushi Max based on the reviews I read on other sites. I now believe those reviews must have been written by the owners themselves, because NO ONE who has eaten there could have. It was literally the WORST sushi I have ever eaten. The sashimi was room temperature, slimey, and had a sour taste. I had to fight the urge to spit it out at the table ( which I now wish I had since I have been violently ill) we thought that perhaps the rolls were what everyone must have been raving about, but out of the 4 diff ones we ordered only one was palatable, the spicey shrimp tempura, which we then saw had not been de-veined :((((((( Im not trying to be a sushi snob, and I never usually go out of my way to write reviews just because I personally didnt care for something. Im trying to save other people from possibly getting sick. I would give 0 stars if I could. read more

Sushi was GREAT. Service was GREAT. Atmosphere is a little weird because its a sushi place in a strip mall so it is a cheap drop ceiling and there is stupid cheap crap on the walls and I got a Sprite in a can, but if you don't care about that stuff you are good!! Although I noticed that stuff I personally didn't care. The sushi was of a much higher quality than the venue. Loved it and would go back and recommend. read more

Super good, the lady that works here is super nice and it always looks clean and I love the relaxing music . Their hot tea is perfect, and I usually get the California roll and smoked salmon , it's awesome. I'm building up my courage to try different things;) read more

Love this place! Sometimes it can be a wait but it's worth it since it's a husband and wife team and he is the sole sushi master... they are always very professional and nice. Not to mention the best sushi rolls in Tennessee! read more

Good food. Friendly staff. Went in on a Monday night, so it was pretty quiet. Clean and inviting inside.the sushi was delicious and the miso soup was very good read more

I'm at Lebanon do to a business trip. I have had the opportunity of having sushi in Osaka Japan, California and NY. It's not the best I've had, but this kind of establishment in Lebanon, wasn't expected. Sushi is fresh, place is clean and run by a couple. Menu is limited but you can't have a huge option on a small town or you are risking freshness. Best Sushi in Nashville! read more

As previous reviewers have said, it is a strip mall location, doesn't look like much. Sushi is good, prices are reasonable.

Stopped in for lunch. Great seaweed salad and was very impressed with the selection of veggie rolls.. Highly recommend it

If possible I would give a negative 5 review. I have phoned many times to place an order and they keep picking up the receiver and hanging up on me. Sushimax is trash! If you want to run a successful business, you NEED TO ANSWER THE DAM PHONE!! read more

Food is good. Service sucks. Don't prefer Brown rice. 12.95 for small ramekin. Could have had whole meal at p.f. Chang's for that.

This review comes three months late. Just didn't think about it till I ate at another awful sushi place in Lebanon. The sushi was so small it looked like thumbsize sushi. Honestly I don't remember the taste...I just remember being so disappointed. Plus the lady serving us just kept staring at us. Plus nobody was inside eating except one other couple. That's a bad sign. I don't even know if they are still in business. read more

We love this place. Really good sushi and I'm generally not impressed by sushi. Everything seems really fresh and while the ambiance is nothing special the food more than makes up for it. Spicy tuna is usually my favorite. read more

It is by far the best sushi I have ever had. They care about each order that is placed. I have never had such fresh seafood in my life. I love Sushi Max! read more

This was one of the worst places I have ever been. I stopped in on the way home to grab a few rolls and when I asked for a menu other than the piece of paper that had the name of the rolls on it the lady told me I had to sit down at a table to read the menu, she also made this process extremely awkward... After looking at it for several minutes I told her I was ready to order. She then said to me we don't have time to make a to go order right now... There was 2 other tables eating in the entire restaurant... That was the first and last time I will step foot in there. read more

Excellent sushi and seaweed salad! Friendly service. We were just passing through Lebanon and in the mood for sushi. What a pleasant surprise! read more

I would love to rate this place with a much higher rating, as all the other reviewers did, but I can't formulate an opinion on quality when it is closed at 7:00pm on a Monday. I read the reviews, and the wife and I decided to pack up the kids and go. The website said they were open. However, they were closed. So, if I ever catch them open, I will post another review. UPDATE: So I was able to catch the place open. I am truly glad that I did! The fact that this place is in a small strip mall is a bit of a put off, and the dining area is small with little decoration or ambiance. However, they make up for it very well with quality, flavor, service, and personality. This was right up there with the best sushi I have ever tried. I am truly impressed. My family and I will be back, often. Thank you to the owners for the truly amazing meal. read more

Sushi Max is good sushi. It's not the best sushi I've ever had in my life, but it's always been very good. I enjoy the salad and the dressing that comes with it. The dressing is unique and I like that. The sushi is good quality. The green tea ice cream for dessert is to die for! I've always been greeted when coming in, had wonderful service, and yelled a friendly "bye! Thank you!" from Max (I assume). I don't understand the bad reviews really, unless you are expecting a lot of over-the-top, deep-fried southern rolls. The only thing I might suggest to the owner is updating the decor. I have been here at least 10 times and will continue to keep coming back. There is one other sushi place in Lebanon, and while the non-sushi items on the menu may be wonderful (I wouldn't know, because I won't be back), the sushi is pathetic. With that in mind, try Sushi Max! read more
