We had a great dinner experience! Our table for two was immediately available and our server was efficient with service and was knowledgeable of the menu. The food was flavored well and the sushi was a hit. Paid street parking is available and Wild Wasabi also will validate parking ($3.50) if you choose to park in the parking lot across the street from the location. I have been here a couple of times while visiting the area and have been pleased every time! read more

Ordered delivery, arrived in good condition and well made. Miso soup was just like any other traditional miso. Edemame was still firm upon arrival unlike alot of other restaurants so hats off to you. The rolls were good, I think the caterpillar was my favorite. I wasn't a huge fan of the crazy jalapeno roll. Overall the meal was good and decent priced. read more

We came here for lunch (offer 20% off during weekdays and so worth it)! The sashimi pieces in the chirashi are huge with great quality. It would be nice if the rice was more seasoned though. I especially LOVED the side salad they give you!! The udon was good, roll was a little too heavy on the seaweed salad but still good. read more

Came here for late lunch and I just missed their 20% off lunch special since it ends at 2 pm M-F. Nice clean modern decor with Japan decorations. Friendly staff. I needed something quick so I ordered the spider and salmon rolls along with eel nigiri. Everything was good. They included a good portion of seafood so that is good. Prices are ok read more

Wild Wasabi - Salmon Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Walking distance from our downtown hotel. We went early because we had an early concert to go to. The restaurant was empty so we were seated immediately. Our food and drinks came out quickly. We ordered a shumai app and a sweet potato tempura app. Both were tasty. Then for dinner we ordered Salmon sashimi and a No.9 roll and an unagi nigiri. Both of those were also delish. The only thing that we didn't like too much was the green mussel appetizer. It was a little fishy tasting, not how I have ever had a green mussel app. Everything else was tasty and our server was quick to bring out food and drinks. read more

So this review is for 2 different visits over 2 days, one for dinner and one for lunch. For dinner, I would rate it 4 and for lunch, I would rate it a 3. We stayed at the JWMarriott and wanted to support a small local business. This was about a 5 min walk in a renovated industrial or train depot - a reimagined space in urban center. For dinner, we ordered a rainbow roll and udon. The roll was fresh and done well. The nabeyaki tasted a little bit off, but still yummy. Off in the sense that it wasn't traditional nabeyaki soup... but not bad. Service was attentive and waitress was nice. For lunch the next day... The teriyaki didn't quite hit the mark. It was very saucey and presentation was not what traditional chicken teriyaki looks like. The taste was fine but the chicken was dry. And strangely, they brought out hot water in cold water cups when the evening before, I had tea and hot water in hot water cups. Service was fine otherwise. read more

While staying at the JW Marriot we walked over to The Gulch area and found this little gem. Seated right away and ordered. Menu straight forward with lots of selections. We went with the sashimi & sushi combo and were not disappointed. Very fresh fish and good sized portions. Wanted to go back on Sunday but they're closed so make a note of that.. this place definitely deserves a 2nd visit read more

One of my favorite places for sushi. I'm a native, just haven't ever posted anything. I come once in awhile, but have been coming since they opened probably over a decade ago. They've upgraded since our last visit, and we loveeee the wall decor! Service is always good! Cute spot for a date/birthday. Park across the street (not even far) & get it validated by the waitress. Simple! read more

The food here was the best I had in the area. We tried some other places but this place was the freshest and had a good size portions. Everything we had was what we expected and our kids asked for seconds even though they never finish their plates we had to order more gyozas and udon for them. We left full and happy read more

Just renovated, the whole place got a great face lift. Still fast and great sushi and a couple of other entres to choose from. I like that this place is usually not packed, service is always good and they have a lot of different rolls to choose from. Cute and easy ! read more

While visiting Nashville, we had a taste for something a little different than the southern cuisine we'd had all week, so we found Wild Wasabi and decided to give it a try. We walked in on a Friday evening and were seated right away. We ordered edamame and a few rolls to share and everything came out very fast! The rolls were very generous, and so fresh!! I only wished there were a little more edamame in the bowl, it was quite a small amount vs what I'm used to. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sushi. I am glad we decided to give them a try! read more

We had to fly but wanted to check out the Gulch on our last day. I had my husband pick out a lunch spot, of course we wanted to try their sushi. This place was really yummy to our surprise it's tucked in the Gulch in downtown Nashville near the art district. It was a quiet Tuesday afternoon, the restaurant is super clean. We got lucky because it started raining soon after we sat down. The server seated us right away, cus again it wasn't very busy and she was very nice and gave us some suggestions. The chef is super creative, maybe because it's a restaurant in the art district, definitely a nice touch on the special rolls. We had Caviar on the top of one of the rolls and another was garnished with strawberries, shredded coconut and kiwis. It was delicious AND 20% off! read more

Amazing food and service. Highly recommended! Really enjoy how fresh the sushi is and how pleasant the staff is. Cannot wait to return soon.

Pros: Great downtown location and easy to walk to from most nearby hotels Varied sushi options - so many specialty rolls Large dining area Fast service Cons: Shrimp tempura roll had too much panko so I couldn't taste anything. Had to leave most of the roll uneaten :( Salmon lacked any flavor Surf clam also lacked flavor and wasn't very fresh Pro tip: They did the CA roll and miso soup week. Maybe stick with the cooked rolls. Lots of Japanese beer options too. read more

I absolutely love the sushi here. It's my local to go spot. Always on point and delicious.

Excellent sushi! I visited here twice on my trip to Nashville, once to eat in and once for carry-out. It was in easy walking distance to my hotel. The service was great, and the sushi so good and fresh! It's very clean, too. They had a lot of unique rolls offered. Definitely recommend! read more

Super love this place. It's clean and the food is great and generous. I think it is recently opened and they have 20% for lunch on weekdays only. It was never busy when we were there. So please come and support this place. Service is quick as well. The pineapple sake was nice! read more

This place is pretty good. We call it ole reliable in our home. You always know you're gonna get pretty good sushi here. Have never had a bad experience. The spicy tuna roll is amazing! read more

Stopped by for a quick bite. Fast service - Rainbow Roll came out quick and Chicken Lettuce Wraps soon followed. Roll was to be as expected - tasted great. Chicken Lettuce wraps were not your traditional type... more like Chicken Teriyaki with lettuce bowls. Generally ok with a different style of food but the chicken was so dry and tough that it was inedible. I tried cutting it up into smaller pieces but ultimately sent it back after 2 bites. They kept it on the ticket but took it off once I requested that it be removed. read more

Great ambiance and location. Staff is very nice. Best miso soup I've had in a long time, but the ginger salad dressing is not my favorite. Makes me sad, actually. Ginger salad is one of my favorite things at a Japanese restaurant. I eat everyone else's if they don't eat it. This dressing is too onion forward. It was a letdown. The tempura needs to be salted when it comes out of the fryer. Salt brings out the flavor. Good, but better once I salted it. Their tempura sauce is good. I got some sweet n sour sauce as well, but I don't like theirs. Too pepper forward. I admire that they seem to make their own sauces. I just don't love them, and i recognize my dislike of onions and peppers comes into play here. We grabbed sushi and fried rice from here last night too. Sushi was decent. Fried rice was excellent. read more

Holy cow I uber eats'd the Udon noodles, what a horrid dish. The miso soup was good but the noodles were almost inedible! Woof

Ordered takeout for dinner tonight so can't comment on service other than my order was ready promptly, but got pork gyoza, tuna and green onion roll, and wild wasabi roll. Pork gyoza was a little mushy but I ordered takeout so that's on me, it was still tasty. I didn't care for the sauce it came with, was a bit too vinegary for my taste, which is saying something because I love vinegar/sour. The wild wasabi roll was really good and unique with plenty of krab stick on top which I love and nice crunch on the inside. My main complaint was the tuna and green onion roll. As soon as I opened the box it smelled fishy, and not clean ocean smell like good fish. Like fishy fish that's on its way out. Tasted extremely fishy as well. I only ate one piece of these and thought the better of it and did not eat the rest. read more

Service was very friendly and informative. It was quiet and has a nice view of the Westin and Marriot towers nearby. The Sashimi and Nigiri was pretty good. The special rolls I had were good too. Pretty standard menu for the most part. Special rolls are around $18 for 10 pieces, the 6-8 piece rolls are $5-8. read more

Wild Wasabi - Rainbow Roll, Happy Together Roll - Japanese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Wild Wasabi was one of my favorite sushi spots years ago. I probably haven't been in 10 years, so I was excited to try it again when I realized they were still open. I used to go when they had the sushi buffet for lunch, it's been that long. I was wildly disappointed in the quality now. I tried the miso soup, sweet and sour chicken, crunchy shrimp roll, and vegetable spring rolls. The best thing I had was the miso soup. The spring rolls were pretty good too. However, the crunchy shrimp was mediocre. No flavor at all, and just full of the "crunchy" flakes. Literally nothing else really in the roll but that. Very disappointing, but the sweet and sour chicken was even worse. The chicken is fried and then covered in the sauce, but the sauce was terrible and the chicken was extremely soggy. I ordered Togo, so service was just pretty normal. Took my order and the food came out quick. They weren't rude, but also not overly welcoming either. The restaurant is nice looking, and I believe updated since the last time I came. All in all, wouldn't come back again after trying the food. read more

The sushi is a great quality, the serving staff was so friendly and had great recommendations. The ambiance is very inviting and feels clean. I definitely recommend the house special sashimi platter. read more

The service was horrible because of the attitude. Hot sake 3/10 because they only had one flavor an it was luke warm. Sushi Was sub par Nashville roll was more so mushy An I got the All in one roll it was pretty good reason they got the 1 star But the soft shell crab tasted very old. Indeed it was old tasting an fishy. If that's possible it tasted just so fishy an we only took one bite an asked if it could be removed from the ticket which they declined even tho we paid almost 100$ for our meals each it was the point we didn't even eat more then a nibble. I wouldn't recommend this place or the nasty service l. read more

I dined at Wild Wasabi for lunch on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 around noon. This restaurant features big windows covering from the ground to the high ceilings, which brings a lot of natural lighting into the open dining area. The tables were spaced out with social distancing in mind and it was evident that Wild Wasabi is diligent in adhering to CDC guidelines during COVID pandemic. The shrimp shumai appeared and tasted like they were not made in house and were just simply steamed from frozen. They tasted like they were steamed a minute too short as a few tasted slightly cold in the center. I would not recommend the shumai. The squid salad was good, it tasted light and fresh. Overall, I thought the sushi was above average in terms of presentation and flavor. The sushi appeared like they were rolled with finesse. The fireball roll tasted creamy and spicy. This-is-how-we roll was rich and I liked that the shrimp tempura brought a nice textural component to the roll. The shrimp tempura was fried perfectly and was surprisingly still crispy after appearing to be drenched in spicy sauce. Service was good and attentive. Food came out slightly slower than expected considering the dining area was less than half filled. However, there seemed to be a lot of take-out orders that might have caused the delay. All in all, I commend the sushi chefs for still delivering sushi with good presentation, freshness, and flavors. read more
