It felt like a full 360 experience, not just dinner. The crispy tuna, yellowtail with jalapeños, and toro nigiri were all incredible. The raspberry and white chocolate mousse shaped like a tree was stunning and delicious. Happy hour had great drink options, and the service from the manager Luna, host Awn, and bartender Sam was warm and seamless. Amazing food, thoughtful atmosphere, and genuinely kind staff. I'll definitely be back.

I've been twice in the last couple of months and each visit has been a mix of wonderful service, delicious food, and fun! They're incredibly thoughtful with families--my toddler felt so comfortable, and they even checked to make sure he'd be okay with the fire before starting the show. The food is seasoned perfectly, the ingredients are super fresh, and the yum yum sauce is so good. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and welcoming. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about the service here. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying the sushi side next!

I was very worried about finding any place that would come close to my favorite sushi place here in the Hendersonville area, but Maru Ichi is awesome. The food is always great. The atmosphere is very calm. Tonight I had the avocado ball pictured and my husband had Japanese pork curry. We also always get lucky to get the same. Great waitress Alani. I will not eat sushi anywhere else now.

It rivals the high-end sushi restaurants in downtown Nashville, and in many ways, it beats them. The fish is consistently exceptionally fresh, the presentation is beautiful, and the restaurant is spotless every time. The staff is warm, attentive, and efficient -- food comes out quickly whether you're enjoying a sit-down dinner or stopping in on a tight schedule. Must-tries: * Avocado Bomb -- unique, stunning, and packed with flavor. * Tuna Lover Roll -- pro tip: ask for the crispy fried scallions (not listed anymore, but they'll add them if you ask -- and it takes the roll to the next level!). * Yellowtail Hamachi -- fresh, clean, and melt-in-your-mouth perfect. They also have fantastic lunch bento boxes -- ideal if you want a little bit of everything. Options like bulgogi, katsu, and chicken teriyaki make it easy to get a balanced, filling lunch on the go without sacrificing quality or flavor. Pricing is very fair for the quality -- not the cheapest spot in town, but you absolutely get what you pay for: premium ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a consistently great dining experience. Whether it's date night, a family meal, a business lunch, or a quick midday sushi craving, Mari Ichi always delivers. Friendly service, fresh fish, fast kitchen, and consistently excellent food -- what more can you ask for? Can't wait for my next visit!

Food prep was pretty good, but no showmanship. And that is why one goes to a teppan restaurant. Now, let's talk about the sushi. If you are going to serve sushi, you should make an attempt to do it well. If not well, then decent. Ours was neither. We had a California Roll, and my daughter ordered sake nigiri. The Cali Roll was heavy on the rice and light on the filling. This restaurant has the nerve to bring out ONE piece of salmon nigiri and call it an order. I have NEVER been brought a SINGLE piece of nigiri sushi anywhere, EVER!! I asked the waitress if perhaps this was a mistake and she said "no, that is how it is served" Needless to say, I will not be returning to Kabuto anytime soon and I recommend that anyone who knows Japanese teppan find another restaurant to dine in. Kabuto is unacceptable

I think it could have used a little more sauce, but the pork was cooked perfectly and flavor was spot on. Hubby had the spicy tuna poke bowl. Perfectly ripened avocado, great attention to detail, it was passed around the table so we could all try it. We also had the 911 roll and the cherry blossom roll. Both were great but the 911 roll was a table favorite. The restaurant wasn't packed, so all our food came out quickly. The table was clean but the bench seats were a little hard. I love that each person gets their own pot for hot tea. It kept my tea hot throughout the meal. I would definitely recommend stopping by here.
