    Just moved here from California, so we're pretty spoiled with sushi places, Asian restaurants and fresh fish. Maru Iyagu did not disappoint. I hesitate to order anything with unagi in it, because you can tell right away when it's not a fresh. However, that's the best way to rule out some of these sushi houses. So, we ordered rolls with unagi, we also ordered the rainbow roll which had 3 different types of fish. The special rolls we ordered had enough flavor that you didn't need anything extra on it, like soy sauce or wasabi, etc. Everything was delicious. I also noticed the menu had other Japanese fare, like Katsu curry, and some Korean, like bulgogi, which you don't always see. I will try that next time I'm here, because I will be coming back. Our server was also very sweet and had great recommendations. I wish I could remember her name ‍ The ambiance was great, no complaints there. It's near the movie theatre, so it'd be a perfect place to go before or after a movie! Maru Iyagi checked all the boxes for an enjoyable restaurant meal and experience and that's what we're reviewing on Yelp, after all, "your experience." I recommend you try it out for yourself.

    If you know me, you know that I take risks with food and that's exactly what I felt like I did at Maru Iyagi. The sushi legit tasted like it was on the verge of spoiling and I had to text my coworker that I wasn't sure id make it back in the office because I might get sick. The scallop sushi was comically large, like half the size of your fist. I didn't know if they were being generous or thought it'd be funny to see someone try to take it down. It was just ridiculous lol. I asked for no eel sauce and it all came out drenched in the stuff. Not much went right... speed of service, generous portions and presentation were the good things I can come up with. I used to love this place, not sure what happened recently for the quality to decline like it has...

    This was the perfect place to stop in for a Bento lunch. Miso,Salad, Tonkatsu, Calif roll, Gyoza, rice. So if you're looking for great Japanese this is not the place, but a really close 2nd. The Bento was plenty but we always have to try different things on the menu. Miso had a great flavor and bean curd thickness, light on tofu. Tankatzu was really thin and fried maybe just a bit much, so no juicy meat flavor but it still was good. Salad was a romaine with their dressing, Gyoza also fried a bit to much as opposed to pan seared. I personally prefer steamed. We came in about 30 minutes before their afternoon closing. Our service was great, food served with all the right condiments such as Sauce, wasabi, ginger. The interior was inviting and had the Asian fusion vibe, really my only issue was the horrible rap music playing and all the F-bombs in the lyrics. Not trying to turn this into a music preference post, I just think the music should go with the ambiance. Finally the Sushi roll recommended by server (playmate?) was delicious

    Spicy crab roll!

    The food was excellent, I ate the spicy crab roll and I will definitely be coming back for it! I attended there during a rush this evening and the service provided was very well for the circumstances. As for the atmosphere I have no complaints!

    Alaska roll, playboy roll, and crazy roll

    Huge fan of Maru Iyagi! The sushi quality is great and they have tasty roll selections! My personal favorite is the crazy roll or playboy. Service is always fantastic! The server Hazel brightens your day with her kind smile. The Resturant is always clean and has a vibrant atmosphere!

    Okay first timer and I am impressed!!! We were greeted by Caitlin and she is very knowledgeable and friendly! The food comes out FRESH AND FAST! So far the whole crew has been extremely friendly and Tyler is working in the sushi bar and is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! I think we have found a new Sushi Restaurant in Hendersonville that reminds us of San Diego. I haven't tried any sushi restaurants in downtown Nashville yet but it is on our bucket list! If you are in Hendersonville, TN this restaurant is A plus place to come to for your sush fix! Thanks so much for your service in our community! As Arnold would say ". I'll be back!!!"

    Close, convenient and very affordable. It's not coastal and it's not flown in so be reasonable folks. It's good sushi for the local

    This is the best sushi in Hendersonville. The avocado bomb is good and I really like the roll with strawberries on it.

    Does look like much from the outside, but the sushi was delicious. We tried the sushi roll with mango and it was amazing.

    Went to Kabuto based on my daughter's prior experience. First of all, our teppan chef was NOT…read moreinspired. I realize the some chefs are more animated than others; ours was marking time. Food prep was pretty good, but no showmanship. And that is why one goes to a teppan restaurant. Now, let's talk about the sushi. If you are going to serve sushi, you should make an attempt to do it well. If not well, then decent. Ours was neither. We had a California Roll, and my daughter ordered sake nigiri. The Cali Roll was heavy on the rice and light on the filling. This restaurant has the nerve to bring out ONE piece of salmon nigiri and call it an order. I have NEVER been brought a SINGLE piece of nigiri sushi anywhere, EVER!! I asked the waitress if perhaps this was a mistake and she said "no, that is how it is served" Needless to say, I will not be returning to Kabuto anytime soon and I recommend that anyone who knows Japanese teppan find another restaurant to dine in. Kabuto is unacceptable

    We had a group of more than 15 so they split us between two grills which was fine except one chef…read morewas lots of fun and the other was mundane. The food was bland at best. Our waitress was very friendly but was a little scatter-brained with little details... like forgetting an extra dipping dish and a refill of a soft drink. It was a solid meal, just left much to be desired in the flavor department.
