Best Japanese Restaurants in East Bank

Another great meal at Sunda! Sunday brunch with friends and the eggplant bao, steak and eggs, avocado rice and chicken were just perfect. Drinks were excellent and beer was ice cold. Great service and took a nut allergy seriously. Thank you Sunda!

We have patronized O-Ku for several years and it always exceptional. Important is that good food, even great food is fantastic, but your team is always way above the mark on all levels. This is what we always recall first. We really had to laugh how everybody congratulated us on our 140th anniversary! We do age well... hahah. Michael, our guide thru the evening, added so much to the value of the night. Regards, Geraldine and Dick Markus

Great atmosphere, impeccable service. The food wasn’t the best steakhouse I’ve ever been too- but wasn’t bad. The shrimp cocktail was fresh, the cocktails were good- might have been better for a spot like this to have a mixologist on staff. The bread was amazing- however the truffle butter was over powering. Ordered a burger, bun was cheap- need to step up the bun and cheese game. The fries weren’t fresh cut, no onion rings on the menu- this is a steak house! In my party we ordered 2 different steaks and two sides. Corn bread wasn’t done all the way though, was soggy and underdone in center, creamed spinach was served in a small square bowl slopped on the side. Minor presentation things to work on. The salads we ordered weren’t show stoppers bacon bits from the freezer not lardons tossed in an abundance of dressing- instead of served on the side. Ordered the Freddie and the wedge. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great- but this spot didn’t earn my seal of approval to return or send people their way.

Wow!! The best service we have received in Nashville. They went above and beyond to make our anniversary/promotion celebration dinner one to remember. I called beforehand to request champagne to toast at the table and they already had it covered. On the way there, my car broke down which made us an hour late (yes we left the car and still went to dinner…lol). I spoke w the host multiple times are she was SO helpful and reassuring that our table would be waiting for us….it was. When we got there, they were just as concerned about our car as we were, and just as happy about our anniversary. It was special. THEN, when ordering, we were deciding between two dishes (two different times) and our waiter actually brought both out to us as a “gift”. Great food and great service!!!

The sushi is top notch and one of the best in Nashville. It’s in the touristy part of town but tucked away enough to be nice and cozy. Ambiance and noise level are good and I’ve had great service here, even when service had been at fault through miscommunication, the restaurant was willing to correct the issue. Sushi is fresh, creative, and tasty and there are lots of selections for Vegan sushi, more than I’ve seen compared to other places. Highly recommend this place if you’re downtown and want some high quality sushi.
