    Fire Burrito
    Bill P.

    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!

    Red curry, beef pho, fancy roll
    Julia G.

    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.

    Chicken pho or pho ga
    Brittney G.

    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.

    Tuna Roll*, Crunchy Shrimp Roll
    Deya M.

    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!

    Menu 10/2021
    Cuey M.

    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.

    Tuna salad roll
    Maddie H.

    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.

    Very rarely do I agree that the hype is worth it but for Noko, the hype is definitely worth it!…read more We came for our book club meeting without a reservation and were luckily able to get a spot within ten minutes! Our server (I believe his name was Mitch) was phenomenal! We started off with the guava girlies, anti-hero, tan lines and good times - our favorites were the guava girlies and the anti- hero. The tan lines didn't have a deep enough flavor profile for us. For food, we got the Caesar salad, the green beans, the tuna crispy rice, the hurricane fries, charred scallion noodles, and burnt end lettuce wraps! Every dish was a hit but our favorites were the green beans (we were obsessed with the sauce) and the burnt end lettuce wraps. We also tried the lipstick marks, second hand smoke (sub mezcal with regular tequila), and guava girlies with tequila - all of these were also delicious! Despite being full, we had to try the dessert and tried the brookie with ube ice cream. We were also surprised with a scoop of pandan ice cream. This may be one of the most unique flavor profiles for a brookie I've ever had and it paired beautifully with the ube and pandan gelato! This was truly a fantastic dining experience and we will definitely be back!

By the bar we got to see some of the dishes being made. Great date night spot. Limited parking. This is a tapas spot and our serve did a good job recommending how many dishes to get. The only reason Noko is not getting 5 stars is because the server said that they would time out the dishes for us, so it was best to place our entire order all at once. However, we got 3 dishes and then it took about 30 minutes for other two to come out. Maybe we were eating too fast but felt like we were waiting a while for our food. The food itself was absolutely delicious. There was nothing we ordered that I did not like. Some favorites include the burnt ends lettuce wraps and Korean chicken wings. The Sando, shrimp and tuna crispy rice was also spectacular. The tuna was so flavorful and refreshing on the tuna crispy rice. The sauce of the east side shrimp really makes the dish. I'm not a huge shrimp person but this was really good. This is a must go to spot in Nashville and would definitely want to come back.

The restaurant is on the smaller side with a mix of table seating and counter seats overlooking the kitchen. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because it filled up quickly. Even though the restaurant was packed, the noise level was perfect--we could still have a conversation without shouting. The bar service for drinks was a little slow, but the staff kept us updated throughout and were incredibly friendly. Everyone was hustling--they handled check-ins, took orders, ran food, and kept everything moving despite how busy they were. The food completely exceeded my expectations. The ahi toast and seared yellowtail were absolute must-orders. Both had incredible flavor, and the fish practically melted in your mouth. The cucumber salad was fresh, flavorful, and a great appetizer while we waited for our drinks. The dumplings took quite a while to come out (they actually arrived after our hot pot), and while they were tasty, they weren't nearly as memorable as everything else we ordered. The shabu shabu was outstanding. We chose the miso broth with the NY strip, and the portion was huge! There was more than enough food for the three of us to happily share, and everything was fresh and delicious. Our cocktails were excellent and well worth the wait. Overall, Kosho delivered a fantastic dining experience with amazing food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

    OutSTANDING Japanese izakaya. WOW! YUM!…read more The place is quaint and classy, and the staff are incredibly poised yet friendly. Here is what we tried: -Hiramasa crudo: 10/10 - Amazing bite, and blew me out of the park. There was no fishy aftertaste, and yet the fish was fresh and flavorful. Paired with the cherry tomatoes and whatever magical sauce, it was a rich and subtle bite of heaven. -Tuna toast: 6.5/10 - To be honest, not my favorite. It wasn't bad, by any means, and the tuna had a lovely flavor and texture to it. It was clearly good quality. However, I felt as though I wasn't tasting enough of the wagyu fat aioli, or even the seaweed bread. -Squid ink pasta: 9/10 - I would describe this as a spicy sausage bolognese with squid. Divine, frankly. The noodles were thick and chewy and the depth of flavor to the sauce was perfection. -Wagyu Burger: 9/10 - I am not normally a burger girl but this one was STELLAR. It was OH SO moist and the cheese, the caramelized onions, the sauce, the sesame seeds... UGH. Yummmmm. My date said this was better than most burgers at burger week. -Hojicha Tiramisu: 9/10 - Jeez louise I am also not normally a tiramisu girl but the chocolate and cream and cake on this one paired so beautifully together. And add the miso soft serve and you honestly have a sin. -Miso Soft Serve: 7/10 - So, I was really excited about this. The soft serve itself was pretty good, though I wanted more savoriness to it, almost. More miso punch. The thing that threw me off the most was the peanut caramel. I felt as though it overpowered the miso. Anyways, would 10/10 recommend and come again.

None of us had been to Present Tense before, and we were excited to try it (we picked it because the menu looked great and it was central - we were heading to Green Hills after and my brother in law was heading downtown). Present Tense is a Japanese-izakaya inspired restaurant and natural wine bar. It's tiny, with only 14 chef's counter seats, a few indoor tables, and even fewer outdoor tables. We had a reservation for 5:30pm. We waited a bit to be seated but were soon sat at an indoor table (the outdoors remained busier throughout our dinner). Reservations are recommended. We shared several dishes from their menu: a half dozen Miyagi oysters with yuzu leche de tigre and tarragon oil; yellowtail amberjack sashimi with citrus, orange wine, and olive oil; mushroom rice with an egg yolk and hemp seed furikake; Wagyu flat iron steak with black sesame mole and lime; and blood orange and prickly pear soft serve for dessert. We enjoyed everything, and I think it says a lot that argued about our favorite courses; one of us made an argument for almost every course. In addition to our food, we each had 2 glasses of wine or 2 cocktails (wine for me; cocktails for the boys). The wines are natural and interesting, and the cocktails were creative and delicious. The restaurant is modern and cool, and the ambiance was great. If anything is holding me back from giving Present Tense five stars, it is probably the service. It just wasn't the most welcoming/friendliest spot. And beware - the location is great (surrounded by lots of bars to go to after dinner - if you don't stay at Present Tense to keep drinking their great wine), but parking in Wedgewood-Houston is worse and worse all the time as it keeps expanding and growing. We found street parking a couple of blocks away, but our dinner was on the earlier side. Give yourself some time to find parking if you drive there. Overall, we had a really good time at Present Tense. The food was creative and delicious, and we enjoyed eating it and being surprised by it. And I loved their focus on natural wines. I'd come just to drink great wines and have a small plate or two. Anytime, really. Someone invite me, please.

The service was a 10/10--truly superior. Our waitress was attentive, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the menu and how almost everything could be ordered as shareable plates. The ambiance was also really nice and made it a great spot for trying several dishes and enjoying the evening. We ordered the plantains, duck tacos, sticky ribs, truffle mac & cheese, gnocchi, and crispy tuna. The STICKY RIBS were absolutely the star of the night! Crispy on the outside, moist and tender inside, plenty of meat, and packed with flavor. Oh my goodness...these alone are worth going back for! I already can't wait to have them again. The duck tacos were another favorite--well seasoned with a crispy wonton shell that gave them the perfect crunch. The crispy tuna was really tasty as well. The gnocchi had a little more sauce than I personally prefer, but it was still very good. The truffle mac & cheese was okay, but fairly average compared with some of the other dishes. The only dish I didn't enjoy was the plantains. They had a combination of sweet, salty, and a little spice that just didn't work for me. And don't skip the drinks! I had a frozen margarita that was DELICIOUS and the perfect addition to the meal. Overall, Kore was a great experience--from the service and atmosphere to several standout dishes. I'm definitely returning, especially for those sticky ribs! If you haven't tried Kore yet, add it to your Nashville list.

    We were staying at an Airbnb in East Nashville recently and read about other's very positive…read moreexperiences at Kore so we decided to give it a try! :) Also because of recommendations, we made a reservation ahead of time! After some fairly lengthy confusion at the hostess stand, despite having had a confirmed reservation - it took quite a while for her to decide which table she wanted to give us out of the many open spots. She left us standing there, without explanation, to go put out the placements that seemed necessary to have set before we could sit, then finally came back to take us over to a spot - this didn't feel like a greatest start to the evening. It was very awkward. You know what they say, first impressions are important! Thankfully we were greeted by a very friendly waitress who was very knowledgeable about the menu, both food and drinks! She took great care of us throughout our meal. We dove in with drinks - A Sapporo, they have it on tap, and it's delicious! As well as an Old Fashioned! Both fantastic! It took us a little while to decide which food items we wanted to choose! This is a small plates restaurant so the options are numerous, they all sound so good!! We tried to pick at least one thing from of each category! We decided on the Kalbi dumplings, the Cauliflower, Kalbi Steak, the Crispy tuna, and Gochujang Mole. Every single dish was absolutely amazing and filled with the most rich, full flavors!! My absolute favorite was the crispy tuna! So delicious!! The mole dish - Chorizo, fingerling potato, red onion, red veined sorrel, crema was also next level exceptional! SO much flavor!! Something that was a little strange about our visit, and the reason for only giving 4 stars is this: We made our reservation off of the times offered by the restaurant. We chose 8:30 due to other things we had going on in our day - they offered as late as 8:45. This is the type of place that it's nice to work slowly through the menu and try a few dishes and then order a few more, etc... Unfortunately, right after we placed our initial order we were informed that we would need to have all of our food AND drink orders or refills in to the kitchen within the next 10 mins as the kitchen would be closing. This was too rushed and disappointing for what we were planning on for our dinner. We wished that the restaurant would have been more clear about this when we made the reservation, or at least when we first began perusing the menu. We did not have enough time for what we would have preferred and did not end up ordering any more food or drinks, as we definitely would have - however, what we did try was worth it! I would just HIGHLY suggest going earlier in the evening, much longer before they close!!

They have some seating in the hall outside the restaurant and then a somewhat small dining area inside the restaurant. We got the onigiri to start and was able to add an extra piece since we were a group of 4. For food our table got the chirashi bowl, the curry rice, chicken katsu sandwich and the creamy bacon udon. The three different onigiri were all delicious and different but our favorite was the yaki since the grilled rice added such a depth of flavor with the cod roe. The seasoning they serve on the side is great too. My chirashi bowl even though it was "mini" ate like a full meal. They really put a good amount of rice and salmon. Very well seasoned and everything tasted fresh. The curry rice was a very large portion and the curry tasted homemade. The chicken itself was the thigh and tasted like it had been marinated before being breaded so it was flavorful even without the curry.

We had reservations and showed up a little bit earlier but was seated right away. They overall had a decent amount of tables separated between inside and outside the restaurant. We ordered the Onigiri which included a Japanese Curry, Snow Crab and Yaki (we ordered an extra Yaki). Each one of them were extremely well made with excellent quality ingredients! My favorite was the Yaki so much flavor and you can taste the grill! For an entree, I got the Curry Rice which came with a chicken katsu. The portion was very generous which I appreciated. Chicken had so much flavor and had a nice crunch. The curry had a nice smooth flavor with small bites of potato and carrots. Highly recommend checking this place out!
