Overpriced. Nickel and dime you for everything. My salad was wilted. Expect to be charged $4 for a tiny side of fried rice with your Hibachi and not even get normal rice. I would suggest going to a nicer establishment for what you pay for here.

Love the sushi and friendly staff. Best hibachi entertainment in the area. And lots of alcohol,wine,sake selection which is rare for Japanese restaurant. Their house-made yum yum sauce and salad dressing is so good. My to-go orders are always accurate And it’s reasonable price

Not like it was. Cant get a lemon for your water. Didn’t understand why but daughter thought “covid”? Couldn’t omit soup and add extra salad, couldn’t get fried rice. All these were available with an extra charge. Most important, the yum yum sauce was not like any I had ever tasted. It was not good. Only a sliver of a carrot in my chicken hibachi and no zucchini. This place was one of my favorite places to eat while visiting my daughter. Not any more.

The sushi was pretty good here, and I liked the soup. The busy side had the actual hibachi grills, so we sat to the side. The hibachi we got was not very good, so I guess that might make a difference but shouldn’t.

Prices are outrageous for the quality of the food. A normal hibachi dinner will run you thirty dollars not even counting the tip. Lots of places in Nashville with better service.

Had a great experience here last weekend. The food was great. Atmosphere good … quintessential hibachi food. Sushi is good. Ordered yellow tail/hamachi nigiri. Portions were very generous for both hibachi and nigiri … enough for take home boxes. A little pricey, but understandable … considering the Belle Meade address. Hibachi is very tasty. Only negative was that our server sat her drinks tray right in my space rather abruptly, since my seat was on the end at the Chef’s entry point.

What a great late night sushi place! Some of the BEST sushi I’ve had in a while. We’ve had the same server twice and didn’t catch his name but he’s always so nice and polite!! 10/10 highly recommend this place.

Slow for lunch–we had to take meal to go because lunch hour would be over by the time food came. Slow would be fine, often staff issues make it hard, but food was not so good. Lettuce in salad could have been fresher and salad dressing seemed off. I guess I could recommend. Other guests seemed happy.

TIL that there is a difference between a professional chef and a professional hibachi chef. Both make good food, but the latter can entertain as well. It wasn’t very busy when I got there around 5:30pm on a Sunday, and I asked to be seated at the hibachi grill. I noticed that there was still a wait to fill up the seats around the grill. While I waited, I ordered a “Japanese hot green tea” for $2.75, and it came with a little ceramic cup + tea pot (I suspect it was matcha; I liked it). I was also brought a complementary bowl of soup (possibly miso, or maybe a mushroom soup broth). Once all the seats around the grill were full and everyone had made their order (from a “hibachi” page in the back of the menu; I ordered the salmon for $19.95), the chef came out with a cart that had all the raw ingredients on it. He started by making an impressive (for me, at least; first time seeing it) display of his spatula and fork skills, flaring up something (possibly sake; it burned like alcohol, and I suspect the flame had a caramelizing effect, but I don’t know for certain; it was hot and entertaining though (FIRE!)), and started the rice. I opted for the “spicy” fried rice, same with everyone else at the table (in the sense of “had spices”; contrast the Indian culinary sense where “spicy” = “raging inferno”, which this rice was not). It was excellent, flavorful, had a hint of what my limited culinary vocabulary can only describe as “Mongolian grill-esque”, and there was a lot of it. By the time I was done, I didn’t have to wait long for a couple small shrimp that came complementary, and after that was the stir fry vegetables, and my salmon followed shortly after that. All very good food, and I left full. An 18% mandatory tip is automatically included when seated at the hibachi grills (not mandatory at other tables), but I thought he deserved more, so I added a bit extra on top all that. After taxes and tips my total for a single dinner was $30. Expensive, yes, but I’m on travel, and today I thought that it was worth it.

I had a quick lunch break before meeting up with my client so I grabbed this Sushi place across the street. Sushi tasted great. I had a rainbow roll and Tuna sashimi for starters. Wish the menu was more of the raw rolls than cream cheese and deep fried fish.
