★★★★★ 5.0 Aaron Krolik · Mar 2026

Worth the price of admission. Dark atmosphere perfect for dates or a swanky night out before you hit the Germantown bars. Must order the crispy rice and sticky rib appetizer. Follow it up with their Nashvegas Roll. Wash it down with a Machida. Be prepared to drop $100 a person minimum. 5 stars. And the manager took care of me.

5PM reservation, got pretty busy quickly on a Saturday. Waiter was communicative on any delays. Food was delish-nice ambiance. Walk in for sushi bar seemed popular. Black magic and usuzukri to start was great. Good portion for 2 people. For a reservation I wish it was a bit more private we were in front of the front entrance. It got a bit noisy. Other than that it was a good experience :)

The sushi is amazing here! We had two of their specialty rolls and the one roll with salmon and goat cheese. All very fresh and extremely tasty :) Our waitress (whose name I wish I can remember) was really kind and patient with us and provided us with a little treat with our Okinawa donuts. SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! If we are back in Nashville, we will definitely come back 💚💙 Really really impressed and wish the restaurant the best~

Great happy hour menu! Very cool and cozy vibe on the inside and the bartender was awesome. Loved all the food!

★★★★★ 5.0 Steve Kennedy · Oct 2025

Probably the best Asian fusion in Nashville. Beautiful place. I sat at the bar and they weren’t very busy, yet the wait staff didn’t seem interested in engaging with me, so that was a little disappointing. Would def go back though.
