    Wagyu Tartare Crispy Rice
    Van H.

    We got the sushi tacos, nigiri, and crispy rice sushi. They were all very good and the fish was fresh and delicious. The entree we got, duck crispy rice, was good but a little too sweet for us. It overpowered the dish and we wish the duck had had some crispy bits. The bottom of the rice was a little on the burnt side as well. They also have an ice cream takeout window which was cute. Got the strawberry matcha soft serve and it was also way too sweet. Thought the strawberries would be fresh and macha would offset the ice cream but no. But overall it was a nice place. We were seated outside on the patio which was covered so you don't get too hot in the sun. The service was friendly and food came out pretty fast.

    Wow... I will come back and back and back and recommend too! Food is so delicious and sooo fresh. That tuna, melted in my mouth. That salmon melted in my mouth... the cauliflower was delicious and the hand rolls were satisfying. I would suggest a bit less sauce so the fish doesn't get lost on the roll and the cauliflower but other than that the taste was great. The service was great and the atmosphere of the outside was perfect with a little bit of sun and shade. They offer 50% off parking so make sure you get the QR to redeem it. Definitely worth the trip, come check them out!!!

    Soft serve dipped in chocolate

    This is just a review for their soft serve window. We came here on a Wednesday night and it was bumping at 7:30 with a short line waiting for ice cream. They offer vanilla, chocolate, and dole whip and can swirl the vanilla/chocolate. Then you have the option to dip it in chocolate, strawberry, or matcha. We tried a swirl dipped in chocolate and a chocolate dipped in matcha. Both were fantastic but I think I'd get the matcha next time as it had a salty kick to it. A fun and cheap date night for those with kids or who want a sweet treat after eating nearby.

    Chili Crunch Cucumber

    I came here based on the recommendation of a colleague. I stopped in about 4pm on a Sunday afternoon thinking I would beat the crowds. Boy, was I wrong. This neighborhood has a ton of shops so it was busy. I came in and sat at the bar since it was just me. The bartenders will not make eye contact with you until they are ready to speak to you and that can take anywhere from 5 - 10 minutes. From what I could tell, the cocktail I ordered was not on the menu. I think it was called the "Thank you for coming." I was intrigued because the person beside me had one. It is a spicy margarita that comes in a classic Chinese food to-go container. It was really cool and the drink was pretty good. For food, I got the chili crunch cucumber and the spicy tuna roll. The chili crunch cucumber is listed under salads but it is just a cucumber in chili oil. The tuna roll was very good. Overall, I felt the price was steep in terms of quality of food, quantity of food, and quality of service.

    Nigiri 8 PC*

    Had a great night at Sushi San! I booked this restaurant for my birthday dinner and just wanted to give a special shoutout to the general manager- Kevin- for working with me and accommodating to our seating arrangement request. thank you so much!! okay- the ambiance definitely has a wow factor, it has that very nice upscale restaurant vibe. the food was great too- the nigiri 8 piece san set was a great way to sample the fish. everything tasted very fresh and flavorful. the peking duck was so yummy too- i definitely recommend getting a sizzling rice dish. my favorite bite of the night was probably the toro ohio handroll, it was so flavorful and had a nice umami flavor profile. drinks were great too, we tried the hugosan spritz, the thank you enjoy #6 (comes in a cute take out container) and the yuzu margarita. the soft serve window is a great touch and was the main reason i wanted to try this place- their matcha dipped cone was amazing and the boba sundae was outstanding as well. highly recommend trying this place!!! :))

    The food was really delicious and flavorful. I must have come on an off night my service wasn't the best. The waiter seemed a bit flustered and occupied with other tables. Forgetting items I ordered however I was among good company. The ambiance is cute for a girls night or date night. Love the option to sit inside or out. The miso dessert was a favorite along with lettuce wraps. I will be back and hoping for better customer service.

    Stopped by the ice cream window for a soft serve. I went with the pineapple dole whip covered in chocolate in a cone. I was a bit disappointed how long it took to place my order as there was no line but the employee working at the window took about 5 minutes to register I was there despite popping my head into smile a few times. I took my cone to go as it was a sunny warm day and I thought the perfect day to walk around 12 south with some ice cream...There was plenty of outdoor seating but it was already almost full at 12pm on a Friday. First lick the chocolate was nice and dark- it wasn't the crunchy shell I was expecting but soft- big warning to ask for your cone in a cup or just get the cup if it's a warm day..my cone began to melt about 3 steps into my walk and ended up melting all over the sidewalk and my hands/arms..but it was delicious!! As Nashville warms up just get the cup haha! excited to stop by soon to try the food

    Sushi-San has some of the best sushi! It's super fresh and is packed with flavor. I love the uniqueness of the crispy rice. Service was super quick, received my food in under 5 min. The decor made me feel like I was transported somewhere tropical! This was a great experience and I will be back!

    Strawberry matcha sundae.   STOP BY OUR SOFT SERVE WINDOW FOR HAND-DIPPED CONES AND SUNDAES
    Jessica L.

    Such a yummy menu and cool Japanese ambiance. We started off sharing a bunch of appetizers. The edamame had a sweet spicy powder which I never experienced before. The Gyoza were standard. The main event was the Crunchy chili cucumbers! Sadly it seems the kitchen forgot those so they came out with our meals. Do not skip on these! So worth the wait. We each tried a different roll, I liked the Bluefin Tuna Avocado the best. The tuna was creamy and the crispy seaweed added texture. I also tried the hand roll, I would skip it for next time. Nothing too special and it was forgotten by the kitchen as well. Lastly the ice cream outside was yummy! I tried the pineapple ice cream with chocolate sauce and the strawberry matcha vanilla sundae. This place has so many options. Make a reservation early! It's Nashville's next top spot.

    This spot lives up to the hype! I was a little skeptical at first because of the rave reviews I've seen, but it truly is an incredible dining experience. Sushi San is perfect for a nice date night or a girls night out. The low lighting, relaxed seating, and sleek minimalist decor are the perfect relaxing atmosphere to enjoy incredible sushi. When we first walked in the hostess checked us in for our reservation, and we were seated right on time. The service was perfect. Our server walked us through the menu, and we were never without anything we needed. I tried their crispy tuna rice and shishito peppers. The tuna crispy rice was good, but I have had better at other local spots. However, the shishito peppers are not to be missed! They are perfectly charred with a sweet glaze on top that compliments the peppers perfectly. The star of the show was the yuzu yellowtail and the drink, thank you enjoy #6. The yellowtail paired perfectly with the citrus of the yuzu, and it tasted incredibly fresh. The drink was a cucumber spicy marg that came in a fun to-go container. I will admit I'd seen the drink online and thought it was cute, but the drink was truly delicious. We did stop outside for soft serve, and the ube shell was incredible! I'd stop back by just for ice cream! I'll definitely be coming back soon!

    Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice

    Sushi San The restaurant itself has a very nice ambience inside. It is dim, loud, and the tables are pretty close together. I sat at the sushi counter which was cool to experience. This is more of a personal thing but the sushi counter was very fishy smelling. Having been to many other sushi places and omikase I have never noticed a fish smell at any of those. The chefs at the sushi counter were very nice but not too chatty. Starting off the spicy tuna crispy rice was very good. The crispy rice had a little bit of a char or burnt-ness to it that I actually really liked. The tuna on top had a nice flavor to it as well. The next dish was the bluefin chili ponzu, it was thin sashimi slices with thinly sliced watermelon, then topped with chili crisp. I had heard rave reviews about this dish and I just found it to be okay. If the chili crisp had more spice or there was a sciracha element for a sweet and spicy taste I think it really would have elevated the dish. The gyoza was just okay, it was pan fried and had some sort of sauce on top of it but the sauce really didn't have much flavor. The gyoza also needed an additional sauce or component to it in order to add a wow factor. It was overall fairly bland. The mega box was the "San set" we ordered. It comes with 8 pieces of nigiri on top, 12 pieces of sashimi in the middle and then two rolls on the bottom. The nigiri on top was incredible. The lean tuna nigiri was delicious. The yellowtail nigiri was also amazing. There were two salmon nigiri on top, one was marinated in soy sauce overnight and one was traditional. The soy sauce salmon nigiri was the star of the nigiri rolls for me. The sashimi was really a let down to be honest. There was amberjack, flounder, tuna (unsure of which part of the belly) and octopus. I will start with the amberjack which really threw things downhill, it was cut in legit 1/2" thick pieces and because of that was extremely chewy and just unenjoyable. The flounder had a pretty fishy taste to it which again, is a personal thing but a turnoff for me. The octopus was fairly traditional but compared to some other octopus was chewy and tough. The tuna was okay, nothing really bad to say about it. The rolls on the bottom were fairly plain, one was rice with seaweed topped with tuna and only had cucumber inside it. It was fine, taste exactly as it sounds. The other roll was yellowtail and amberjack, and based on our experience with the amberjack sashimi we did not even touch it. The desert was really the best thing we had and it was incredible. I would buy it by the truck load if possible. The sticky miso caramel cake was basically like a sticky toffee cake with ice cream on top and there was some crunchy element topped on the ice cream. It was amazing. Drinks were good, nothing to really fault or brag about drinks wise. Service was a little slow but it was absolutely packed inside the restaurant so I cannot fault that one bit. Overall if you go here I would stick to the 8 piece nigiri which were all incredible and try as many of the sides as you can.

    Came here with my Dad and my sister for the first time. Sushi San has been on the list of restaurants to try for a while, and let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. We appetizers we ordered: 1) Tagarashi Chicken Nuggets, which was recommended by our waiter 2) Crisy Rice - Spicy Tuna For our entree my sister and I shared: 1) Kabayaki Eel 2) Spicy Salmon 3) Beef 'N Bop Sizzlin Rice My dad ordered the Peking Duck Sizzling Rice. Everything was really good! I would have not ordered the nuggets but our waiter said he was one of his favorite things on the menu and it was delicious! Very flavorful. All the sushi we order was fresh and soo yummy! The winners by far was both Sizzling Rice dishes. So much flavor. Loved the service we received and the ambience. Would be great to come back for a date night. Loved the music choices that was playing as well. It's a fun environment. I can't wait to come back. 10/10, totally recommend!!

    Sushi San is hands down some of the best sushi I've had in Nashville. The atmosphere is sleek and lively -- perfect for date night or a fun dinner out. It feels upscale without being stuffy. The sushi is the real star. Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully plated, and full of flavor. The nigiri melts in your mouth, and the specialty rolls are so well balanced. You can tell quality is a priority here. Now, the service could use a little fine-tuning. It wasn't bad, but it didn't quite match the level of the food -- a bit slow at times and not as attentive as I expected for the vibe. That said, the food absolutely makes up for it. I'd still come back in a heartbeat because when the sushi is this good, it's worth it.

    This place has been on my list for a while. Came here with my sister and our friend before we went…read moreto an event. It's very cozy I. There, it was hard to find at first. You can find free parking, which is really good these days. We ordered fried, crab dip sliders, and oysters. Everything was really good! I definitely want to come back with my husband, it's a really cute and intimate spot. From the time we walked in, the staff was nice. I can't wait to come back. 10/10x

    I'm surprised I didn't see this on the top reviews but I will share it -- MAKE A RESERVATION!…read more Okay - now that that's out of the way here is the good: 1 - If you're looking for a space in Nashville that makes incredible cocktails and where servers can help you go on a drink progression, this is your place. There are drinks that are refreshing/lighter and ones that are more spirit-centered. They also have small bites that are really excellent pairs to the drinks. 2 - It is very small. So if you feel like you'll land on a spot because someone popped in and just left, you might be out of luck. We were able to be seated because we came a little earlier, and I believe someone at the bar left earlier than anticipated. 3 - It's quite dark/moody. If you have a person who's weirded out by spaces like this, go somewhere else. If you can't read the menu in the darker/lower lit spaces, bring out your phone's flashlight. One thing that's GREAT about the menu is that they have it in contrasting colors (ie light paper and black ink) and the font is large. There was a spot that I went to recently where the lighting was very low and they used a dark tan font on manila colored paper. If the lighting was normal, it wouldn't have been a problem ... but in lower light, the lack of contrast was not helpful! 4 - The staff is really great. I know that I mentioned it before, but if you've ever been to places like The Aviary in Chicago or places like this, you'll feel that this is right in the same lane.
