One of the hardest tickets to get in Nashville and it is evident why for anyone who has had the opportunity to get in. They book out 6 weeks in advance; with only 14 seats and 3 seatings per night, they are sold out in seconds when they go on sale at midnight. I have lucked out twice, once even getting a duo, so not impossible, but not easy. When you enter, you walk into a small bar area, where you can order a cocktail or two. I opted for the Shibuyu Nights, which had a slight coffee note on top of the whisky and bourbon. At the prescribed time, you are led into the omekase and the experience begins. Cue fanfare music now. This is nearly the definition of perfection. Each dish was both art and culinary genius. Pacing is perfect. Chefs interact with the patrons, enhancing the experience and the wait staff is well versed on which types of sake work best with different course. At the end of the meal you can add on extras, some from the menu and others off. If you are not full, I recommend considering the add ons. Kudos to the chef for handling my shellfish allergy with wonderful subsitutions. At $75, this is a steal. WIth extras, sake, and drinks, I ran over $200 for 1, but it was worth every minute. Once of the best restaurants in Nashville. read more

We FINALLY got the chance to snag a reservation here. Seriously, it's challenging. They only have like (14? 15?) seats and only do two servings a night. First, let me say I was nervous. I don't typically like sushi and sashimi even less. The texture of a raw fish concerned me. Hubby loves it though, so I wanted to give it a chance. I figured if I was going to try, it needed to be at a place that knew what they were doing. James our sushi chef, definitely knew what he was doing. The servings were one piece at a time, served at a comfortable pace. Each piece was a different sort of fish, or a piece of wagyu beef! I enjoyed myself. The flavors made up for my personal wariness of the textures. Each piece was filled with delicious flavors. We ended up super full and content, and happy with our time here. I highly recommend. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

It should go without saying that anywhere you have to get a reservation 6 weeks in advance is going to be fantastic. For anyone who doesn't know what Kase is, one get out from under the rock, but two you have to stay up to until midnight and get a reservation for yourself. The service is always incredible, the chefs are knowledgeable and communicate during the 14 courses to talk with you. The bar staff is constantly around to make sure drinks are filled. Kase is a small and intimate establishment. The bar before the dining room is VERY small, only 4 seats, but that makes for a great place to sit and chat with the bartender before your meals. The food is something truly out of this world. Kase is the only place that can get me to eat roe, scallops and eel, and actually enjoy them. The fish is incredibly fresh, and sits on a small piece of warmed sushi rice. I don't need to get into detail with the food, it speaks for itself. Can't wait until I get to go back for a third time. read more

Hands down one of the of the best dining experiences in Nashville. The atmosphere was so chill and moody. The service was stellar and the sushi was exquisite. This 14 seat sushi bar in East is where you want to be in Nashville. It's one of the hardest resy to snatch in the city and for good reason. I hadn't worked that hard for reservation since my French Laundry booking. Treat your self to something exceptional a 14 course nigiri and hand roll experience. Arrive at least ten minutes early to enjoy a pre cocktail at the country's smallest bar. I had a "Last Word" for the first time that was pure bliss. Reservations are released daily at midnight. Limited onsite parking is available. Just uber and save yourself the stress. Cheers! read more

Hands down, Kase is my favorite spot in Nashville. I've already been six times this year, and I still have two more reservations before the year ends -- that's how good it is. Everything about Kase is on point. The flavors are unreal, the quality is consistently exceptional, and the hospitality is truly next level. The team makes you feel taken care of in a way that elevates the entire experience. It's warm, intentional, and unforgettable. Kase is one of those rare restaurants where every visit feels special. The kind of place that stays on your mind long after you've left. It's absolutely worth every penny -- and every bit of your time. If you're looking for a spot that delivers an incredible meal and an experience, Kase is it. My friends and I are true sushi connoisseurs -- we've tried just about every sushi spot in Nashville -- and I can confidently say my first pick is always Kase. No matter what, I find myself coming back, and I'm never disappointed. The sushi is consistently exceptional, but the bar? Insane. I don't know what magic they're working back there, but the drinks are incredible every single time. Honestly, if the bar were open to the public, I'd be there just for the cocktails alone. Kase is that rare spot that checks every box -- quality, flavor, vibe, service. It's easily one of the best in Nashville, and once you go, you'll understand why I keep returning. read more

Went there with my husband, and we loved all of the courses! They also have a cute bar with good cocktails.

Finally, Nashville gets the proper omakase experience it deserves, and I couldn't be more excited! Kase is more than a meal; it's a whole vibe. The journey starts in Tennessee's tiniest bar--a cozy, walk-in-only spot that doesn't take reservations but makes up for it with an impeccable sake and cocktail selection. Sip on something delightful while you gear up for the main event. Step through to the stunning 14-seat omakase bar, where the magic truly begins. The staff's warm welcome sets the tone for a 90-minute, 14-course exploration of nigiri and hand rolls, all for $75 per person (with tempting add-ons, of course). The fish is the star here--fresh, flavorful, and expertly crafted. Highlights for me? The salmon caviar, A5 Wagyu foie gras, and chutoro. Every bite was a masterpiece, and I can't emphasize enough: there wasn't a single miss. The music and ambiance perfectly complement the culinary artistry, creating an experience that's as much about the vibe as it is about the food. Major kudos to the Noko team for this milestone opening--Kase is an absolute gem! read more

I stayed up late binge watching a tv show and was able to get two reservations to Kase in 1 week. I figured if I didn't like it the first time, I could give my 2nd reservation to someone else. I love omakase and if I loved it, then I got delicious food twice in a week so I felt this was a win win for me. There is free parking in the lot or or on the nearby streets. If you have the 7 pm reservation or earlier, you'll want to make sure you go earlier because the parking lot can be crowded. You ABSOLUTELY want to make sure you're on time if not early. They only have 14 seats, and they seat you all at one time. If you're late, then it could set that timed sitting late, and in turn the reservation after. Worried about being early and bored? No problem! There is a waiting area with a bar. Now the waiting area isn't too large, but it works. They offer mocktails, cocktails, and other liquors. When you order from the bar, they'll carry that over to your dinner table. The wait staff share the tips with the bartenders so you'll still have the opportunity to tip your bartender. My friend and I had big purses and were kindly offered purse hooks!! This is a lovely touch. You'll notice the chopsticks have the Kase X Noko engraved into them, which I thought was a small yet nice way to make the experience unique. You'll be asked if there are any food allergies. (My friend has Celiac's and was able to eat every dish but one, which they gave her a hand roll instead of toast). (I also have a weird yuzu sensitivity thing and they were able to accommodate without messing up the integrity of the dishes). Omakase means I Leave The Details Up To You. So after you tell them if you have any allergies, just sit back and enjoy. They bring out fish after fish for you to enjoy. Around course 8 or 9, they'll ask if you want any of the a la carte additions. I am a lover of rice so I actually asked for a side of their sushi rice, which they graciously were able to accommodate. I really liked their Panda Panda Panda mocktail and the option to have a hot tea with my dinner. The base price is $75. For the service, the quality of the fish, the attention to detail, and the tastiness, I highly recommend. I cannot wait to go back again!! read more

This was easily the best meal I've ever had. Every bite was perfectly made, with balanced flavors and amazing texture. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, setting the stage for an incredible experience. My partner and I started with drinks at the bar, which was a great way to kick things off. The Sneaky Mexico Trip was our favorite--such a fun mix of flavors with a silky texture. The Princess Ichigo was also delicious. Throughout the night, we were well taken care of, with constant drink refills and the chefs explaining each dish. Watching the food being prepared right in front of us made it even more exciting. The atmosphere was calm and beautifully designed, making the whole experience even better. My top picks were the tuna with truffles and the foie gras--both were unforgettable.

Thanks to Foodies of Nashville (Facebook group) and Sam Corley IV, I had the rare opportunity to experience Kase x NOKO, and it exceeded every expectation. From the first course to the 14th, each bite was a work of art; thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed. The flavors complemented one another beautifully, and the sake pairing elevated the evening to an entirely new level. The service was warm, precise, and the best I've ever had. And knowing that the restaurant donated 100% of the night's proceeds to The Giving Kitchen through Dining With Gratitude made it all the more memorable. More than just a dinner, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience I'll never forget. read more

Sushi is ruined for me, I can't just "go get some sushi" anymore, because now I know what that experience can and should be.

The way they pair the fish with their twist gives these unexpected and delightful flavors. The menu was perfectly sized to fill you up. But you also have a choice of a la carte. The vibes were perfect in this space. It was dimly lit with the best playlist to have to bobbing your head and asking for their Spotify playlist lol.

I finally was brave enough to try and secure a reservation here for my birthday - I got really lucky that it was an easier process than expected! On the reservation, prior to my reservation date, and after being seating I was asked about any allergies, which was very thorough and luckily for me none of my allergens were present. This was some of the best sushi I've ever had! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, it was perfectly paired with any sauces or additional flavors needed, and some of the pairing were things I wouldn't have thought up on my own like add oranges to a hand roll or pairing roasted Shishido on top of sushi. My favorites were the hamachi, the wagyu, and the zuke maguro - but there was not a bad dish! We also added on the scallop Aburi, which was fantastic! The night I went they subbed the eel for freshwater eel, which was a real treat! Since it was my birthday, they did an extra piece of sushi with a candle, which was cute and appreciated! I also really enjoyed the playlist of hip hop/rap songs, although it didn't match the aesthetic generally, I appreciated it. After an amazing meals I even got a phone call the next day with them just wanting to check in to make sure I had a good experience, a great birthday, and to thank me for visiting - what a kind touch! This is a must try! read more

My first omakase experience. It was beyond amazing. The restaurant/room is impeccably styled and beautiful. We went to the small 4 seat bar first before the dinner. It was intimate and sophisticated. There were two chefs preparing the sushi and about 3 waitresses serving our seating of just 14 people. Everyone sits at the bar so you can watch them preparing the food. Each piece we were given came with an explanation. I tried a few things I never would have been brave enough to order on my own. Some I loved, some were not for me. But it was great to try it all. This is a great experience. Would make a great date night, I went with a friend for a night out, I saw a family of 4 there as well. Don't sleep on this. Amazing experience and great value! read more

While it's challenging to get a reservation here, it's well worth it if you enjoy omakase. Everything was impeccable and no detail was left unthought. We were promptly greeted by the owner when we walked in. While you're awaiting for other diners to arrive, they have a cozy bar with a lengthy cocktail and mocktail menu. Once we were seated, our server was quick to make sure we had everything we needed for a great dining experience. The chef, Junior was fun and knowledgeable; he gave us great information about each dish. Every bite was delicious with complex flavor. My favorite was the wagyu.

I've been to many restaurants in Nashville, but this one is easily the most memorable. From start to finish, the experience felt special. The service was outstanding--though be prepared to wait outside for a bit before your time slot in a small room with a bar and the door to the omakase room (which happens to be right by a bathroom). As soon as you're seated, you're invited to order a drink (highly recommend!) before they begin the omakase set. Each dish is prepared right in front of you, and the chefs take the time to explain every item as they place it on your plate. We were lucky to sit right in the center, with a perfect view of both sushi chefs--it made the evening even more engaging. The set had a great balance of simple sushi that honored the pure flavor of each ingredient, as well as creative combinations showcasing Kase x Noko's unique twist. For example, the yellowtail spoon--refreshing and bright--and the salmon caviar. I'd also recommend adding a few à la carte items to round out the experience, especially with the omakase set being so reasonably priced. As a thoughtful touch, they surprised us with a birthday sushi topped with a candle, which was such a sweet gesture. The next day, they even called to ask about our experience--unexpected but appreciated. If you're looking for an unforgettable omakase in Nashville, this place is worth every moment. It's hard to get a reservation, but we actually scored our spot last minute. When I checked the same week, a few time slots had opened up--so I'd recommend checking regularly in case there are cancellations. read more
