I don't know what has happened here but Hai's used to be good. I remember when this place opened and the owner was excited about the restaurant and committed to producing good food at a reasonable price. However, it has been going downhill for at least a year or two and I have hoped they'd get their act together....so I hesitated to be too critical. However, this week was the last straw for me. We ordered for takeout. I went to pickup and there was one couple in the restaurant (peak dinner hour). It looked like one person was working there but the owner came out in a few minutes to ring me up and get my food. He looked and behaved completely "out of it". He was trying to read the list of what we'd ordered and was really struggling to focus. I hope he is okay. When we got the food home we realized that the food was terrible. My wife had ordered sushi and the fish looked discolored and smelled bad. My wife just threw it in the trash. I had ordered fried rice and it had a terrible strong sour flavor. It was unlike anything I have ever put in my mouth. Awful. I'd also ordered a spring roll. The shrimp was completely raw. I don't like shrimp to be overcooked, but this was literally raw. We had a miso soup that was acceptable but everything else went to the trash. I am so disappointed in Hai's. So sad. read more

If you are looking for a casual and yummy Asian dinner, Hai's is a great place to go. They have a huge menu so you'll have lots of options to choose from. The prices are pretty good as well. I got the Shrimp Teriyaki dinner and I was very impressed by the amount of shrimp that I was given. The sushi roll I got was also very yummy. The sushi comes with a small cucumber salad and the teriyaki dinner comes with your choice of a soup or salad. The restaurant is a part of a complex with a lot of other things so there's a huge parking lot right out front which makes parking really easy. A huge benefit in Nashville read more

Me and my hubby stopped by here for a quick bite before our flight to Maryland on Sunday. Pretty cozy and clean place. Our server was so friendly and attentive. We ordered sushi plate to share and Vietnamese sour soup. The soup was very interesting. It had a taste of pho broth plus Tom yung broth. I wouldn't say Sushi was super fresh it wasn't bad tho. The price is definitely reasonable. read more

Came here for a quick pit stop for lunch while running errands and was not disappointed! We got the pho and a sushi burrito. Everything tasted incredible. And the pho was a good size portion. The sushi burrito was delicious and served with sauces that complimented the flavors really well. Very happy we stumbled upon this place! read more

Excellent food and friendly service. I eat here often and am never disappointed. Whether you choose the sushi or Thai dishes, the food is fresh and tasty! read more

Came here a couple nights ago to dine in the restaurant was fairly quiet decorated with colorful holiday lights. It was very cozy comfortable vibe. The menu is HUGE. There are a lot of options which can seem overwhelming. The staff were kind and the food was served in a timely manner The red curry was a thinner consistency than what I'm used to more soup like than I'd expect but yummy and contained lots of veggies. The Pho was super good added some sauces and toppings and just wished there were more noodles (shared between two people so they went quick). The fancy roll was good. Definitely coming back because the service was nice and the restaurant just has a relaxing vibe with homemade like feel to the food. read more

Hai's Sushi & Pho - Red curry, beef pho, fancy roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Small, friendly place with amazing sushi and good pho. The owner takes great care with preparation and presentation

Absolutely TERRIBLE. I just spent $20 on pho ga. The menu said $10 which seemed weird. I asked for extra chicken bc I usually double down on protein. They charged me $4.25 for extra chicken which was expensive but I thought ok fine the world is expensive these days. I got about 2.5 tbs of chicken total...and basically none of the sides. Super stingy...the broth tastes like chicken noodle soup broth...TERRIBLE. DO NOT go here unless you want to get ripped off. read more

I was really craving some sushi and noticed Hai's when I went grocery shopping! Located on the same strip mall as Kroger, I decided to go ahead and give this place a try. I got my standard order that I get from all sushi joints: tuna and crunchy shrimp roll. My order was ready fast and I took it to go. I will say that the food most definitely satisfied my sushi craving. It wasn't the best quality sushi I ever had, but by far had one of the most reasonable price points in town. I think if you come here with that expectation, you'll leave pleased! read more

Hai's Sushi & Pho - Tuna Roll*, Crunchy Shrimp Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My go to spot for pho in Nashville! Great service and food. Staff is so friendly and attentive!

I went in for lunch and had the Pho. I was not impressed. I had asked for raw beef so that it would cook in the broth and the gentleman presented it to me already cooked. This may have been a communication error on my part. The veggies were fresh, but the broth did not have that rich flavor, but you could taste/smell the aromatics. I'm not going to say that you shouldn't go there, but I would not order their Pho. read more

Authentic! Came to this great Pho establishment after attempting to go to another Pho restaurant down the street (won't mention their name) and it was the best decision. Broth was very flavorful Traditional rice noodles and quality ingredients made this meal a true experience. The ambience is traditional/semi intimate in their back dining room. I ordered the shrimp pho. The entire staff was awesome and very friendly. I respect businesses more when they treat you like a guest rather than just another transaction/sale. Even after my meal I conversed with some staff members discussing some current events & it felt like I had been there before but it was my first time. The only Pho spot I'll visit while in Nashville, TN will be here without a doubt! read more

So freaking good! I've had pho twice now. Really quick preparation and easy pickup. Also love their easy online ordering system.

Got takeout for work, ordered the drunken noodle with tofu, asked for spicy. Surprisingly good. Noodles at the top were a bit hard, might be because it was sitting for a while from takeout, not sure - bottom noodles were chewier. Needs to have more vegetables, tofu was slices and not cubed which was odd. Spicy was alright, not spicy enough for me but I'll just ask for spicier next time if I want it again. read more

I've eaten sushi in MANY land locked states and you're always risking it, I feel. I have been here three times now and the last time I sat at the bar. Not in the least was I expecting to see what I saw... Lets just say the fish is the furthest thing from fresh I have probably ever seen. As I was sitting there, the sushi chef proceeded to cut open frozen plastic sealed bags of fish and cut and lay out for more rolls. Now, I am fine with that if it's flown in that way but I am pretty sure it wasn't next day air from anywhere except a bulk location. With that being said, I rate "2 stars" b/c it always tastes good, prompt service, and they're friendly. If they werent so quick Most rolls here are all the same and just prepared differently. Nothing about any of them really stand out. read more

Wow! Was surprisingly good!! Everything we ordered was amazing. Very fresh sushi & I definitely recommend getting the Pho! The owner was here & was also extremely friendly. Will be back :) read more

We had a party of 10 and they seated us quickly. However I don't think they are staffed well enough to handle such a large party, or a huge crowd in general. It took a while for them to place their orders, even longer to get it. Establishment was a bit warm, so were the beers. My wife and I ordered way too much, mostly me. Luckily I told them to bring out the order as soon as it was ready instead of waiting for everyone's food to be ready at once. Thank goodness because it would have been over an hour and a half which is how long it took for the last dish to come out. Edamame - 0/10. This came out the quickest and was cold. Chicken satay - 4/10. Wasn't overly impressed. Sushi Rolls - 6/10. Mango Paradis was good. Not so much the Double Shrimp. Hot and Sour Soup - 1/10. Wouldn't recommend and didn't come with a side order of rice. Pho - 2/10. I ordered the deluxe which came out to $16 (woah) and wasn't very flavorful. Pork Rice Plate - 2/10. We ended up taking this to go. Had it the same night and the pork chop was not marinated very well. read more

The reason I'm giving them 3 stars is that I've eaten in this tiny place before and it was decent. This time I ordered for pick up. The app told me or would be almost an hour but after 30 mins I went to Hais to check because either shouldn't take that long. As I came in the app said your food is ready! How convenient, but when I asked for it they couldn't find the order. They had me describe my order. When I said 4 eggshells they said well this box has 4 egg rolls, then while holding my phone they realized it was a GrubHub order and started pulling it together. I got home (300yards away) with cold tempura, cold egg rolls, tepid white rice (though I paid fried rice) and steak combo. Very disappointing. Not sure I'll be back. read more

My experience with Hai's was a bit lackluster but I can't tell if it was just me not ordering the right thing. If you look at the photo of the Tuna Salad roll I got it *looks* amazing. *Looks*. However, the tuna was not the melt-in-your-mouth fresh that I was hoping for. When I get a roll with raw sushi the freshness of the fish really needs to shine since there's no fallback of the tempura or cream cheese to mask the flavor. If I was rating on presentation alone then it would be a 5--beautifully presented and a work of art. Since this roll was tuna, cucumber and a very light ponzu there just seemed to be something missing. It was like a was waiting for some taste to hit me and there wasn't the *umami* moment I was hoping for. It was bland. I also got miso soup and a small house salad and both of these were fine but the standard you'd get anywhere else. Service was good. Our server was attentive. The restaurant is small and very casual. It was a good choice for a weeknight dinner since there weren't a lot of people and we were seated right away. Also, the prices are very reasonable. Perhaps I'll be back to give it another try to *wow* me. Perhaps not. read more

Hai's Sushi & Pho - Tuna salad roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I was looking for a place that I could get all my cravings satisfied and Hai's hit the spot! Not only were they able to offer delicious food but they did it at an affordable rate. My food was delivered quickly from Uber Eats. I was enjoying from the comfort of my home, not pictured is the tuna tataki which was devoured as soon as it was opened- highly recommend! It was my first time having drunken noodles but I'd been craving them ever since my friend ordered them and I had pad Thai- these hit the spot- I did add a little sauce to mine. The sushi rolls were not overly priced so you are able to get an assortment. The Gale roll was the fried one featuring cream cheese- alternated between the wasabi sauce it came with and pozu- HEAVEN! For the basic rolls we got shrimp tempura and tried the crab cream cheese- both of which were full of flavor. Would highly recommend and will be ordering again. Look forward to going in person so I can check out the atmosphere! read more

Food was ok. Was not too impressed with their food presentation. For a Pho place, just average. The tripe in the Pho we ordered was quite chewy. We got to their place around 9 pm and it was a rainy night. There were 2 other customers already seated and eating so it wasn't very busy. We got served pretty quickly but the server seemed not very happy about his job. It was probably because we interrupted the football game he was watching on the tv screen by the bar. The server also made a mistake with one of our orders. Instead of trying to rectify it, he insisted that we made the wrong order. Since we were hungry and had no energy to argue, we just took it anyway. Nothing stellar at this place. Not worth recommending. But since we didn't get any food poisoning, I still gave them 3 stars. read more

Surprisingly their pho was pretty good! I'm from Houston and we are known for some of the best Asian food- hence we have a whole Chinatown area- and I'd have to say their broth was on point! The pho is kinda pricey though bc you get charged a flat rate for the pho and then addl charges for the meat- so it came to be around $20 a bole versus it's only roughly $12 for a bowl in Houston. But anyway, it was good and I liked they had other offerings such as sushi on the menu. The workers are super friendly too! read more

As soon as we came in, everyone was so welcoming. We were already ordering our drinks right after we sat down. Our waiter was so sweet. I ordered two rolls of sushi and they were amazing. Extremely fresh and so quick getting back to the table. It was decorated with Christmas lights and so comfortable. I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area!! I would definitely recommend for a chill date!! read more

We came all the way from Mt Juliet to try this place, because we cant seem to find a good bowl of Pho anywhere near us, anyways, I'm glad to report that this place is by far the best place we've eaten at in a while since we've moved here to TN, for Pho! we did go back and they have some water issues or something so we didn't get our Pho, but we will go back! read more

Wanted to like this place, they are friendly enough, but unfortunately their sushi is made with fish that is not tasty or fresh tasting. Tried them two different times just to be sure and both times the fish was the least flavorful part of the roll. I tried the fish by itself and it had a consistency in that felt like it was old, frozen and not fresh. Even the nigiri had zero flavor except wasabi which was inside it for some reason. Tried the boba last time and it wasn't as good as pretty much any other boba place, haven't tried the pho or other items, but we came specifically for sushi and it's just not worth it. I feel bad to leave this review because they didn't even upset me at all, nice people, just I feel I could have made better food at home, not sushi obviously, but I'd rather have not sushi at home than spend money on tasteless sushi out. read more

Came to Hai's looking for good sushi and pho. It's in sort of an odd location on a side road, up a hill, next to a liquor warehouse store, so pay attention if you're looking for it for the first time. The sushi was excellent. The pho was good but not a standout. It had the right flavors, but it seemed watery. I'm used to the broth having stronger flavors from the star anise and other spices. Ingredients were fresh. No wilty bean sprouts or brown basil leaves! Presentation and service were good. I'd go back, but I'd order sushi instead of pho next time. read more

I called in an order for chicken fried rice here. It was ready in 15 minutes, but was only warm when I picked it up so it seems it as ready earlier. It was pretty decent fried rice and friendly staff when I picked it up. It was a little expensive for how much rice I got. Might try again, but also might look for somewhere cheaper with bigger portions. read more

It amazes me how people can bring themselves to rate this place 4 or 5 stars especially the one who eat Pho!! Omg! I had to stop after the 2nd bite and drive 15 minutes to my regular spot to order another bowl of pho to eat!! I haven't done this before. No one deserves to eat this kind of food really. You can clearly tell they don't give a damn about what they serve to you. I truly think this place need an honest review so just in case people who read reviews can avoid paying for food that they couldn't even eat like me. And after you read this, if you still want to eat at this place, all power to you! Don't say I didn't warn you! read more

Hai's Sushi & Pho - Horrible bowl of pho - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I still adore Hai's with all my heart. I eat there at least once a week. I cannot say it enough this is the best sushi in Nashville. Pro tip: check the specials board when you walk in for new rolls that aren't on the printed menu. I have expanded my sushi choices to include the fancy roll and the Belmont roll from said specials menu. Try the ginger salad, the ginger dressing has a hint of peanut and the leftover dressing goes great on sushi or a side of rice. Hai is just the sweetest man and really cares about his craft of sushi creation. The whole staff will take good care of you. If you have not eaten at Hai's yet you are missing out. Go to Hai's right now! read more

If I could rate this place 0 I would. We (2 people) basically got kicked out because they had a "big party." I've never had this kind of blatantly rude service anywhere. I am genuinely shocked and disappointed. I understand if he had came to me and said, we are short staffed, we aren't really equipped for this tonight, etc. But he started off saying , " oh we have a big party." I said it was alright and we would be patient I just really had a craving and came here. He grimaces and walks off. 5 minutes later he comes back and says "any service we want will take a "long time. " once again i say it's ok and he walks off again. Then he says " Oh, it'll take 45 minutes for anything y'all want. " Then I stated I only wanted pho, spring rolls, and a bubble tea. For BOTH of us. And he repeats his statement. 45 minutes to get pho and spring rolls ? No. You just don't want me there/ If you're busy ok I get it but the delivery is so important. I would rather they lied and said they were closed. I will never be back here. read more

Great Pho! I ordered the chicken with meatballs and fresh spring rolls and it came packaged separately and well put together! The broth was still hot and very flavorful. The chicken portion was very small but with everything it was easily forgettable. The spring rolls were very fresh tasting and crunchy. I ordered Togo and was sent with everything you'd need from the restaurant. Very good! read more

I ordered takeout from Hai's on a cold, rainy night and it did not disappoint! I didn't sample the sushi on my first visit, but I love pho and am always excited to try a restaurant that is closer to my house so that I don't have to drive all the way to Charlotte! Hai's chicken pho was very good! Very flavorful and they had all the great fresh ingredients that come on the side. I also had the spring rolls, and they were so good and recently made. Usually when I order them the rice paper wrap is tough and can be difficult to eat, but Hai's was soft and delicious with the best accompaniment, the peanut sauce. If their sushi is anywhere near as good as the Vietnamese food they offer, it will be my new favorite restaurant! I can't wait to come back. read more

First time trying this place. Extremely disappointed in the service and the food. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken the food smelled great but the taste was not what I expected. When expressing this matter to the cook/ manager I received a very inappropriate and hostile response. Due to how everything was handled I would not recommend this place. read more

Best Sushi ever and I've had sushi from all over America. Hair is amazing very charismatic and adventurous. He rarely takes days off and it's because no one can treat sushi the way he does. Totally amazing sushi and awesome pho. He gets the freshest ingredients reasonably priced and overall my favorite sushi spot. I once brought an apple and asked him to put it in a sushi roll and he was up for the challenge. A rest family friendly and family owned restaurant. read more

Oh. My. Stars. Could it be that nearly three years after moving to Nashville I have finally found an extraordinary sushi joint? I so very badly want all sushi lovers to rush to Hai for AMAZING sushi. First, let's discuss what my gripe has been with Nashville's sushi scene. Yes, I understand that technically sushi is a method of preparation - fresh ingredients combined for a unique taste and presented with rice and seaweed in a roll or atop a nugget of rice. That's where I think my agreement with much of the NashVegas sushi ends. So much of what you get here is crunchy this, fried that, eel sauce nonsense and a real shortage of clean, fresh fish. At that tune, it ends up feeling like a heavy burger night feast, instead of a light, fresh indulgence. Enter Hai. This spot is in an unassuming location on 8th Ave next to a Las Palmas (?) and Kroger. Don't let the strip mall fool you. This place is legit. I sat at the bar and started with a miso soup - fine, not hard to mess up. Then I advanced to some nigiri - ummm, hello fresh fish! The Maguro and Hamachi were expertly cut, perfect temperature and delectable. The spicy tuna roll was delicious. But the pièce de résistance? Their special Holiday Roll blew my mind. Fresh tuna, salmon and super white,with daikon, greens and a tatrt-spicy ponzu sauce wrapped in soy paper and served atop thin slices of cucumber with extra daikon. I mean...if you want that light and crisp combo of flavors and textures, look no further than this masterpiece. Now, for the skiddish, there are still crunchy rolls, there is still eel sauce, there are still California rolls. I am told their phô and other options are great. But let this be the place to experiment, because it's THAT good. Sometimes people review a restaurant and begin with "I hesitate to let everyone know about this..." because they want to keep their secret spot special and unadulterated. Forget that noise - fill this place up, people! Make it the most coveted sushi bar in town. The talent and freshness deserve the business! read more
