interesting place, not in a good way

First off, the sushi was ok, maybe even good...not great though. By far not even close to best I’ve had.

Second, when we received our order, it wasn't correct. We advised the server of the issue. She said she knew it wasn't correct and showed us that she wrote our order down correctly, but said that’s how the cook made it because that's what he wanted us to have. When we asked her to correct it, she said the person that makes the sushi had already left and we either had to take what he made or nothing. A few members of the staff tried to convince us that what he made was better and said the order couldn’t be corrected. They said that because our order was incorrect, they would give us a discount...which ended up being about $2.

My suspicion was that the fish I ordered wasn’t fresh enough to stand on its own, so he made a roll out of it. After pulling a few pieces out of his creation, this was confirmed. The fish hadn’t spoiled, it just wasn’t as fresh as it should have been. Our experience was very strange and frustrating. We don’t plan on returning.

• Pros: decent sushi
• Cons: order incorrect, wouldn't fix

I'm a Japanese. I haven't eaten the food called "Hibachi" in Japan. We don't have that food. Hibachi is the tool to make fire. I was so sad when I went there. No real Japanese food is there. I guess this is the American style.

• Pros: Japanese?

Very poor Sushi

by curreypowder at Citysearch

My wife and I eat sushi on a regular basis. We recently moved further out of Nashville, and were happy to see that there was a Japanese restaurant near us. We were extremely disappointed in every aspect of this restaurant. We have eaten there twice, just to see if the first time was a fluke... and it was no fluke. This is possibly some of the worst sushi I have ever had. Very poor quality of fish, rice was a bad texture, and they were even poorly rolled. I have to believe that the other reviews seen here were either by people who work at the restaurant or people who have never had good sushi. Not recommended!

• Pros: They have seats...
• Cons: The sushi is terrible
