I usually enjoy visiting this spot, but my most recent experience was a major letdown--especially…read moreconsidering it was Valentine's Day . We weren't on a formal date, just stopping in for lunch while out shopping, but the timing made the experience even more disappointing. The food itself was good, as it usually is, but the service was nearly nonexistent. Our waitress could honestly have been replaced by the restaurant's robot with no noticeable difference. She delivered my order--four different rolls--yet my wife's hibachi took so long that I had completely finished my meal before her food ever arrived. There was no real explanation, no check-in, and no sense of urgency. Watching one person eat while the other waits indefinitely is not a great experience, especially on a day meant to celebrate together. Unfortunately, the lack of service overshadowed what is normally a reliable dining spot.

We came in right before the dinner rush and the service was warm and welcoming. Started with the crab rangoon (solid choice), then ordered the volcano roll and the drunken noodles with beef.

Hands down...still one of the best sushi places in the area…read more Sushi is fresh and love all the flavor combos in the sushi. Staff is welcoming and attentive! Our little had edamame and sticky rice, so all set there. We had the spicy tun on crispy rice...a must as a starter! That little pepper on it is deceiving, packs punch and heat at the end of your bite We tried the Peru Roll which looks simple but packed with fish inside and flavor. Then we had the Crunchy Box. It's definitely a roll that you eat sans chopsticks! The roll (more of square) had layers of flavor on every bite! Now the star of the show was the Sushi Composed Escolar...order it! The flavors were so good...you had buttery, smoky and a bit of a punch at the end. Don't pass on this one. I really could have had a plate of these. All in all, great experience. Clean restaurant. Bathrooms need a little work (however in all fairness, that bathroom had the same sticky floors they had with the previous restaurant owners). Minor detail since the food is so delicious!

The service was some of the best we've had: attentive, warm, and so generous. I couldn't decide between the house salad and the miso soup (both sounded amazing), and they kindly surprised me with a house salad topped with their housemade dressing, such a thoughtful touch. The miso soup was stellar, too. We started with the mango crab rangoons (highly recommend), then ordered a mix of rolls: two cooked: the Hotel Cali and Tidal Wave and two vegan: the Eden (a must!) and the Cowgirl. Every single one was delicious. To drink, we loved the China Doll and the Sangria Spritz cocktails. The lighting and overall mood of the restaurant i beautiful, warm, cozy, and perfect for lingering. We'll absolutely be back!

The food is delicious, they have a great happy hour but the service from the bartenders is woefully…read moredisappointing. I've been a couple times and each time the bartenders are lacking in friendliness, accuracy, and efficiency. It seems that they pay more attention to the service bar and chatting with each other, it's surprising to me that management doesn't notice the bar is in need of supervision and improvement. I've had to to get my own napkins, chopsticks, and even had a food runner drop off my food to a couple sitting beside me and scurry away before any of us could tell her that she made a mistake ‍. It's possible that the service is better at the tables though, I sit at the bar because I go solo. Still, the food and ambiance are worth a visit, I will be back...the chargrilled edamame is delicious!

We ordered the takoyaki, fried chicken bun, char siu ramen, and Hakata-style Niku Soba Ramen. The food came out quickly. The takoyaki was pretty good based on area standards (my Japanese husband and I are tough critics), and fried chicken bun was soft and crunchy which I appreciated. I would have loved to add a pickle or hot sauce. The ramen was great with smoked pork flavor but we felt the broth was a bit sweet, especially for the Hakata ramen. This version has straight noodles instead of wavy ones, which my husband prefers but I do not. Overall, we would come back to try non-traditional options like the fried chicken or seafood ramens and the crab jalepeño poppers!

All of the food was delicious, with a nice variety of Thai items with "build your own" ingredients. The sushi was amazing.

If Cheers were a mom-and-pop Thai restaurant (with a side hustle of sushi), it would be Jasmine…read more Located next to the Cool Springs Publix, Jasmine is one of the few long-standing locally owned spots in this highly commercial part of Franklin. I think this one of my first date spots almost 15 years ago, and has now become a reliable spot for dine-in or takeout on nights I'm too lazy to cook but still want comforting, filling food. Almost every time I come in, I'm delighted to see one of my regular servers who remembers my favorite items, makes friendly banter while I order, and overall makes this an incredibly welcoming experience. There's a lot of regulars like me who have been coming here for years for some of their staple favorites: green curry, red curry, fried rice, pad thai cashew chicken, and truly any of the soups are always hits to me. I always get an appetizer as well with my favorites being the chicken spring roll, the fried tofu, and the small wonton soup. Nothing is spicy unless you request it so, and my meal is always about $14-18, even if I order an appetizer; it's truly one of the few remaining inexpensive spots in the area. Even my parents still request to come here, which is wild as they are truly some of the world's pickiest eaters; there is really something for everyone. Sushi is not my favorite here and I wouldn't call this the most authentic Thai food, but that doesn't make it any less delicious. Easy parking in a plentiful lot, thanks to the shopping complex it's located in. Welcoming atmosphere, comforting and delicious food, and the opportunity to support a longstanding local business - it's truly a no brainer to come and eat at Jasmine.
