Tops in Nashville area

by nudels at Citysearch

Hanabi is perhaps the best kept secret in Nashville. This place isn't super great, but it's best around, in terms of food, pure and simple. Being new to the Nashville area, I can't figure out why certain other place in Brentwood is far more popular - sushi there is clearly pedestrian, wouldn't measure up in bigger cities. Hanabi, by contrast, would measure up well.

Best sushi EVER!!!

by witchlady731 at Citysearch

I lived in San Diego for over 20 years, and I can tell you unequivocally that this is the BEST sushi I've ever had! My boyfriend, a meat-and-potato Texan, has now become a sushi addict because of Hanabi. Both Tony and Aji (sp?) are amazing sushi chefs -- the food is gorgeous as well as yummy -- and everything is incredibly fresh. Have a Hanabi roll -- it's fabulous!!!

• Pros: Super-friendly staff, phenomenal food, exceptional service

Authentic

by bill destray at Citysearch

I lived in Japan and Hanabi is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the south. They have a warm and inviting atmosphere and the food is authentic and wonderful. We drive 2 hours from Alabama specifically to eat at Hanabi.

• Pros: Best in the south

Always Awesome!

by holly2010 at Citysearch

We have been going here for over two years and this is by far the best/freshest sushi place in town. We have gone every where and no place tops this one. The owner is such a hard worker and is always there. The servers come and go but we have never received bad service. Everyone is friendly and the sushi is amazing!

• Pros: fresh sushi

BAD SERVICE WAITRESS!!!

by omac110 at Citysearch

Service was very bad, slow and totally not nice. Only one lady working on the floor. And she was talking on the phone all the time. No refill water. BAD BAD BAD. How come they do business with hiring only one waitress on the floor.

• Pros: Fresh sushi
• Cons: BAD SERVICE!!!

Five stars- Wonderful experience

by colleen37212 at Citysearch

I usually don't take the time to sit down and write a review on a restaurant, but this time it is well deserved. Our entire experience from beginning to end could not have been better. The staff was extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. The restaurant was immaculately clean. The food was out-of-this-world delicious (even for a sushi snob like my husband). The prices were completely reasonable. I will absolutely be dining here again. Great job, Hanabi!

• Pros: Great food, friendly staff, great prices, very clean.
• Cons: None

Suspect sushi

by red901 at Citysearch

Pleasant service but after eating the rainbow roll was up at 1:30 am. Not pleasant. The fish on top of the roll just didn't look right and obviously wasn't. Other items may be okay but I'll go for sushi elsewhere from now on.

Wonderful Food, Great Service, Beautiful Restaurant

by Rene125 at Citysearch

A friend recommended Hanabi after I was tired of continually waiting for a table at another popular Brentwood Sushi place just down the road. After I ate here I never went back to the old spot. Hanabi is extremely clean with beautiful decor and has a great selection of sushi and Japanese cuisine. I have been back several times and have always been treated very well by the staff. Everyone is outgoing and friendly and have gone above and beyond to make my experience better than expected. The food is EXCELLENT!! The sushi is always fresh and the cuisine is great as well. I know that every restaurant may have its "off nights" but please don't overlook this place because of one bad review. i highly recommend you try it for yourself. If you don't you will surely be missing out.

• Pros: FOOD, SERVICE, DECOR
• Cons: NONE

great sushi terrible service

by eselworld at Citysearch

We've been going to Hanabi's for a year. At least they are consistent. Every time we've gone, we got very good sushi, and miserable service. Last time, our appetizer came after we finished our dinner. Plus they brought us the wrong dish. They ended up giving us a discount, but they were less than hospitable.
