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.

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.

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!

I ordered the Tonkotsu Black, and it's honestly my least favorite ramen I've had so far. The broth lacked the rich, flavorful taste I expect from tonkotsu, and the portion wasn't satisfying--I'm usually full after eating ramen, but this didn't hit the spot at all. I was also surprised that it only came with half of a marinated egg, and it wasn't even jammy or runny. That was pretty disappointing since it's one of my favorite parts of ramen. I took a chance on this restaurant based on the ratings, but after a few bites I was already thinking about ordering from somewhere else. It just wasn't worth it for me.

Never returning -- awful service and no accountability…read more My husband visited YellowTail on 6/8/2026 and placed a to‑go order. He waited nearly two hours for lunch. Only one male staff member checked on his drink, nobody ever brought our food. When he complained to the manager, she said there was nothing she could do because the bartender had walked out, even though my husband had already paid for the to‑go order. The soup was less than full, as if they'd given me someone's leftover, and the chicken was hard and inedible. This is not how you treat your customers. This level of indifference and poor communication is unacceptable. We've given YellowTail many chances, but their reckless approach to customer service continues. I will not spend another dime there.
