    Kase is chef's kiss! Absolutely worth the hype! You first enter a small bar where you can get a head start on your drink before being guided to your seat. There are a total of 14 seats with 2 chefs dedicated. Each piece is incredibly fresh and flavorful. There are a total of 14 courses with last one being a dessert. It's the best sushi and experience in Nashville

    Incredible sushi for an incredible price. The best omakase I have had in Nashville and so much attention to detail in the design of each course. Must upgrade and order the à la carte menu options- They were worth every penny!! This was such a special dining experience the team was so welcoming and attentive to us during our meal. If I had to nit pick something, it would be the entryway is small and the bar only has 4 barstools so it was really cramped while getting drinks and waiting to be seated.

    What a wonderful experience. From the excitement felt upon securing a reservation for a special occasion, to the warm greeting we received at the bar, to the mastery behind crafting each bite, Kase delivers in every aspect. Between my husband and I, we tried three cocktails, all of which were well balanced and unique in their own creative way. My favorite was the princess ichigo, a citrusy, floral and fruity confection. Each course was prepared and presented with care. Vinny made sure to describe each bite so we could follow along on the menu. I enjoyed the tuna tour this omekase set took me on, from lean to fatty parts of thr paired with rice, nori and even toast. My favorite bites of the night included the salmon caviar, chutoro and "steak and eggs" ordered à la carte. Overall worth the splurge and staying up til midnight to book a spot. I hope to come back soon if I could be so lucky to snag another seat at this intimate sushi bar.

    Celebrated my birthday at Kase x Noko. This was my first Omakase experience and I was absolutely amazed and in awe the entire time! It is an entire experience from start to finish. We started off at the bar where I had the Kyoto Garden. The drink was very refreshing and light. The different pieces of fish that were given to us were all so different and so delicious! My favorite was the Chutoro from Spain and the Otoro Toast. The restaurant staff were all so kind and welcoming, especially the chefs. I loved the ambiance with r&b music; it gave the impression of hanging out with friends while having an upscale experience. They even gave me a birthday treat! I hope I get the opportunity to dine there again.

    Yes- Absolutely worth the hype. The build up to get a reservation, the anticipation until dining date and the arrival to Kase are worth that and much more. Upon arrival we were greeted by two bartenders who were making magic happen. I'm not a huge cocktail person but their cocktails were delicious. Their cocktail menu isn't overwhelming either. We entered the 14 seat dining room and were greeted by chef Vinnie and Natalia was our server. Preparation, flavor, service immaculate! Even the songs (all early 2000 hip hop) the best. I will be staying up until midnight again for the chance to return here. So so worth it!!

    Culinary masterpieces! If you looking for dynamic sushi with vibrant flavors - Kase is the way to go! It's definitely worth the wait. & anticipation! The vibe & music was top tier & very aesthetically pleasing! Can't wait to go back!

    I waited weeks for a reservation at Kase x Noko. I had a timer on at midnight just to be able to reserve it when the next booking date opened. And boy was it worth the wait! I've been around Nashville for a very long time and it was really cool to see an omakase spot like this open up. When we walked in for our reservation, it was a very intimate feel. They had no more than 20 seats available. The omakase was 14 courses and every bite was so delicious! My favorites for the Chotoro, otoro, and the Wagyu steak towards the middle of the courses. All of the fish was extremely fresh and yummy. My least favorite course was the dessert. The mochi was powdery and chewy and we could barely have more than one bite of it. We also tried a few of their drinks but none of them really stood out. I feel like if they fixed dessert and drinks then this place would really be a home-run. But overall, I still give it 5 stars because it was a really yummy and great experience.

    Pretty good for Nashville standards, especially as someone who's had omakase in Japan, California, and Hawaii. For the price of $75, you really can't go wrong. The main difference I noticed compared to other omakase experiences was the nigiri preparation. The pieces here seemed to be pre-cut, whereas at other places I've usually seen the chef slice and prepare each piece in front of you, which adds more to the experience and presentation of the fish. This omakase also follows more of a set menu format, so it doesn't really change based on seasonality or fish availability. Overall, would recommend in the future if I'm in Nashville again.

    Well priced and great tasting sushi. Love the flavors and play on making unique bites. Service was great, James who was the sushi chef serving us was super kind. The speak easy element of the sushi bar made it a fun experience as well. Also the drinks 10/10

    Sarah P.

    BEST MEAL EVER! The hype is real and I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Every bite was perfectly executed, the service was just amazing, and the vibes inside the dining space were perfect. We got super lucky and got a spot from a same day cancellation, and are already trying to make our next reservation here. We started out the the Omg he has a boat cocktail and let that mango mocktail and both were super refreshing. The omakase was just incredible and we added on the tuna bonita and kreme de la kreme. Everything was so incredible we could not even pick a favorite. The price is also very reasonable for the experience! They even brought out an extra piece of nigiri with a candle since it was my boyfriend's bday. Must try spot!!! I can't wait to go back soon.

    Last night at Kase x Noko was my very first omakase experience and it completely exceeded every expectation I didn't even know I had. We initially arrived at Noko and were graciously guided over to a somewhat hidden, speakeasy-style sliding barn door into the intimate bar at Kase x Noko. The transition alone felt like stepping into another world. Brooke took incredible care of us, helping us explore a few cocktails while we waited for our full group to arrive and truly, every drink was perfect. Standouts included the Princess Ichigo, Naked & Afraid, Komorebi, and a 2 oz pour of Hibiki Harmony Japanese whisky. My friend reserved a private dining experience for 14, and it couldn't have been more perfect with an intimate tabeled bar, two sushi chefs, and a front-row seat to artistry in motion. Course by course, we worked our way through what felt like a perfectly curated journey with each bite more impressive than the last. Fourteen rolls later, I was still in awe. Vinny, our server, brought such a fun energy to the night, he was engaging, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions with ease and elevated the entire experience. Standouts for me: the salmon caviar, yellowtail, red snapper, fatty tuna belly, and Japanese wagyu, although all were truly melt-in-your-mouth heavenly experiences! And ending with strawberry mochi was the most delicate finish. I also really enjoyed the pickled ginger bites between rolls as a palate cleanser. The aesthetic was stunning: warm, immersive, almost transportive. It felt like we had been carried somewhere far away, where every detail was intentional and every sense was engaged. An unforgettable night. I honestly went in a skeptic and unsure having never eaten raw fish, now I cannot wait to stay up til midnight and try to get a booking again soon!

    Great omakase! We finally were able to get reservations & got a prime 7pm Saturday night in August to celebrate my wife's birthday. We showed up about 10 mins early as requested in the dimly lit bar area & were given cocktail menus. Ambiance is nice, but there are only 5ish bar seats in a seemingly small, 10 foot by 10 foot waiting area. With 14 ish people all showing up 5-10 mins before & 5 seats, it makes for a little cramped waiting experience. That staff all around were incredibly friendly & welcoming & we were sat right at 7pm. The fish selection & quality was solid, & we loved the variety! My favorite was anything otoro. Definitely recommend the Kreme de la Kreme, & the Panda Panda Panda mocktail (for dessert)! Their cocktail menu is very eclectic & I wish we could've tried them all. For 14 courses & a few a la carte items & cocktails/mocktails, our total after tip came to about $300 total for 2 people. For a landlocked state, this is an excellent omakase. Having had Michelin-star quality omakase in places like NYC/Boston, this isn't the "best" omakase we've experienced. However, this is likely the best in Nashville & the price point is incredible for the quality! Either way, definitely recommend for all sushi lovers for a special night out! Personally, I'm just not sure it's worth fighting for midnight reservations over unless you happen to be up already!

    Impeccable- from being greeted by the bartender to our server in the main seating. Everything was phenomenal. We were served by Junior Vo. Gave me a substitute for the wagyu. Can't wait to return!

    Ask the Community - Kase X Noko

    Do they have free parking?

    They do! It's a pretty small lot that's shared with Noko and a few other nearby businesses. It can fill up quickly, so you may want to arrive early. Also, there may be some free street parking nearby as well

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.

It overall started pretty well, with a yummy and fresh yellowtail roll, however as the night continued, the rolls became more and more elaborate to the point of being too much. For example, instead of just serving the fatty tuna by itself, or with a simple topping, it comes with truffle and bone marrow dripped onto it. Those flavors overwhelmed the fish itself, which is already amazing on its own. There was another course of caviar, topped with gold flecks, which was kind of unnecessary. Also, they used the blowtorch for almost every fish which I find a bit gimmicky. I once or twice is cool but when you're pulling it out every 2 minutes, it quickly loses its appeal. What happened to just having a nice piece of raw fish on some sushi rice? Everything was just a little bit too overdone in my opinion. Also, because the previous sitting had gone a bit long, it felt like they were rushing through our sitting. The staff and service were great though - very polite and attentive. I think perhaps the basic omakase option would've been much better, and if I do come back (not sure that I will), this is what I'd opt for.

In general, fried rice is definitely on the oily side since it's fried, but I've never had a fried rice that had so much oil the rice grains were drowning in a puddle of it. From the timing of the meal where foods came out all at different times and horribly spaced intervals, , awkward service and a server who was hard to track down, to the 9 piece nigiri special that had 3 ahi tuna, 3 salmon and 3 yellowtail (hamachi), unfortunately this restaurant had nothing going for it. I've never been to a Japanese restaurant that has a 9 piece nigiri and has 3 of the same pieces, not to mention the 3 most common and basic kinds of fish that are out there. Don't know if it's just my expectations are different coming from California/Hawaii but that has zero wow factor. Appetizers were mid- maybe the best thing was the shishito peppers but that's sad if that's the best thing. Wasn't in Nashville long but don't waste a meal here. It's not cheap either.
