Samurai Sushi

2209 Elliston Pl

Located in the heart of Music City, Samurai Sushi is a favorite among Nashvillians. 

Nashville Scene put it best when they said, "Sushi virgins or those whose experience is limited to California or crunchy shrimp rolls will be transformed, with just one sensuous mouthful of a Choo Choo or Hawaiian roll, into wanton sushi sybarites. And sushi aficionados, suffering dynamite/rainbow/spider roll burnout, will find their passion reignited by the Ninza, Crazy, Volcano and Samurai rolls." So basically, 10/10 recommend.





Wild Wasabi

209 10th Ave S # 215

If you're ~wild~ about sushi, which we'd bet you probably are, Wild Wasabi may just be exactly what you've been searching for. Their extensive menu includes a full list of appetizers, hibachi entrees, and of course, sushi. Try the Strawberry Sweet roll, Caterpillar roll, or the This-Is-How-We Roll. The fun names are second only to the great taste. 





Nomzilla 

1000 Gallatin Ave, Ste A

Just like they say, Nomzilla is not your typical sushi joint! By mixing the flavors of different cultures, these Eastern and Southeastern Asian dishes will blow your mind. It's a party for your tastebuds -- we recommend the NashVegas, Nomferno, and the Cobra Roll. Check out all these crazy options here!





Sushi | Bar  

610 Magazine Street

If you’re craving an unforgettable upscale omakase experience in Nashville, Sushi | Bar is the move. Hidden behind an unmarked entrance in The Gulch, this intimate, speakeasy-style spot serves a meticulously crafted 17-course omakase tasting menu, featuring the freshest fish flown in weekly and seasonal nigiri prepared right in front of you. With only a handful of seats and limited nightly seatings, it’s an exclusive, high-end sushi experience that’s perfect for special occasions — or anytime you want to treat yourself.

Sunda

592 12th Ave S

Sunda New Asian, located in The Gulch, continues to exceed our expectations. Just take a look at their menu, there are so many options. Table for 2 on the patio? Well, thank you. Yes, we'll have the Red Dragon roll... and maybe some molten chocolate cake for dessert. Gluten-free and vegan items are also available. 





Bang Bang Hibachi Grill & Sushi

3720 Dickerson Pike

Their extensive sushi menu is bang bangin'! Whether you're in the mood for deep fried comfort food (Rock N Roll, Fire Cracker Roll) or something fresh (Crawfish Roll, signature Bang Bang Roll), it never misses.





The Eastern Peak

Nashville, Franklin, & Bellevue

The Eastern Peak is known as "Nashville's hidden gem for amazing Thai and sushi" and now, the secret is out! With some of the best sushi in Nashville including our personal fave, the Thai Spicy Shrimp with asparagus, you'd be a fool not to give it a try. Happy hour specials, too? Yeah, we can definitely roll with that. 





Sushi-san

2212 12th Ave S

Sushi-san is a go-to sushi spot in 12 South, serving ultra-fresh fish and a thoughtfully crafted menu. Led by Master Sushi Chef Kaze Chan, the lineup includes standout nigiri and sashimi sets like Mr. Maguro featuring sustainably sourced Balfego bluefin tuna, plus crowd favorites like the Super San roll. Add in an extensive sake list, one of the city’s deepest Japanese whisky selections, and a walk-up soft-serve window for a sweet finish, and you’ve got an experience that’s worth the trip every time.
