    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.

    Our experience at O-Ku was amazing. We came to celebrate my friend’s birthday and we all loved the food, service and ambiance We tried something from most parts of the menu and everything we had was flavorful and made perfectly including the cocktails and mock cocktails. Janna was our waitress and she provided incredible service. She was thoughtful, made great recommendations and checked in regularly. Everyone in our party can’t wait to go back!

    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!

    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!!!

    Great service and free parking in Nashville is a big win. Also Midtown location, a plus for local residents. Dumpling appetiser was delicious. I had an Alsace wine and my friend had a Moscow mule, both great. Sushi was presented beautifully and delicious. Will be going back.
