Samurai, Nashville

Nice full menu, prices were good, good customer service, bathroom was nice and clean, and they even gave an asian ice cream treat when we were leaving that was awesome to taste.

This is the best sushi restaurant in Nashville, in my opinion. I've been eating here for years and not only is the sushi AMAZING, the owner (Mr. Choo) also never ceases to amaze me. He always remembers me, even if it's been months since I've eaten there. He goes above and beyond to let you know that he really appreciates your business. When the jewlery store next door closed, he grabed it and expanded the restaurant; so now you never have to wait for a table. I think he is about to expand their hours as well.

Very tasty. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly. I will go back next time I am in town.

Samurai is AMAZING and has the most varied and creative flavor combinations I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Thankfully the restaurant has expanded and it is no longer so difficult to get a seat (and you can actually turn around in the new bathrooms)! Sadly, my husband and I have relocated to AZ and we have not been able to find a sushi restaurant that even compares to Samurai. The owner is an absolute genius and if you haven't eaten here you absolutely need to! It doesn't get any better!

best sushi in town! great prices, excellent FRESH sushi! for those beginners choose the buritto roll or the catapillar roll. if you like spicy tuna, this is your place! ive had nearly everything on the menu, youre MISSING OUT if you havent visited this hole in the wall. saki bombs?? go kirin, i believe theyre 20oz?? nearly twice the beer for the same price as other places around the city. and if youre looking for some fun nearby after dinner hit up the hookah bar (alladin's) across the street. either way when it comes to samurai, YOURE GONNA LOVE THIS PLACE!

Everyone is right. The sushi is amazing and is a striking reminder that sushi is art. A little hole in the wall of a restaurant where you have the choice of sitting at the bar or at a table. My tastebuds have always been well satisfied, regardless of what roll or nigiri choice I've chosen.     One note to those attending solo or in a duo party.There was once a night when I attended sushi cuisine here (a busier Friday or Saturday night) and had to wait at the door to be seated.- THis was not the problem, because the food IS WELL WORTH the wait. The waitress asked me if my friend and I would mind sitting at the bar instead of the vacant table that had just left and been cleared. I told her we wanted to sit at the table, so we were seated there. A few minutes later she came back and said, "Are you sure you don't want to sit at the bar? We are very busy and could seat four there." I replied again, "No.Thank you. We really want to sit at the table (and after all, we had been standing and waiting for some time). Then she said, "Please. Just sit at the bar." I was so angry and appalled at this apparent lack of care that I left and did not return for a long time.   So to protect yourself from any heart ache or rude waitresses who give you the impression that one or two people don't matter, either sit at the bar on a busy night(and receive delicious food) or choose another restaurant that has more than five tables. But it really is delicious, delicious sushi.

I've been to many Sushi bars in Nashville but I haven't found one that beats Samurai. Their unique rolls are uncomparable. I would recommend the Hawaii rolls. I've never tasted Sushi like this before anywhere else.

We have been eating here since Choo took ownership.....it is definitely the best and most creative sushi to be found in this town! Very kid friendly too! They will make custom rolls for the more squeamish younger customers. Don't miss this one!

I don't understand how a land locked place like Nashville can have such an amazing sushi resturaunt, I prefer the sushi rolls here over nobu in London. Inexpensive, and great quality, definately recommended.

This small cozy restaurant is one of my faviorite places in Nashville. I am a little bit finicky about sushi since I am Japanese. Many Japanese restaurants in US are owned and operated by Korean, not Japanese, and they sometimes serve terrible foods. Samurai is also operated by Korean, but it is perfectly OK because their rolls are so great!! I also like Ken's sushi near from Samurai, but regarding rolls, I think Samurai is better.
