Best Sushi Restaurants in East Nashville

Oh my, Kace! Everything about this experience was so perfectly executed. The food was incredible from the first to the last bite. The ambiance felt transformative. The service from the ENTIRE staff was top notch. The music was just what we wanted. I look forward to many more visits to this place!

Our first time visiting and the food was amazing! We sampled an assortment of dishes and everyone was so good. All four of us would return!

This is an incredible place to dine! It’s tucked away deep in Germantown but well worth the find. If you get a chance, request Emma as your server. I always seek a restaurant that provides the culinary experience you can’t get at home…and O-Ku provides that experience.

Each year at Christmas, we gather for a special family dinner that has become a cherished tradition. This time, when we arrived, we noticed that our friend Marvelous wasn’t working. After texting her, Marvelous made the incredible gesture of driving 45 minutes just to join us and celebrate together. There are many places we could eat, but none offer the experience we share here—it’s not just about the good food, but the meaningful relationships that make it unforgettable.

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.
