We came for dinner and had the kappuru otherwise known as a meal for two. We added a roll because we were hungry. What a deal! You get two soups, two salads and two chef's choice rolls for $38. Add on the extra roll and still it is an amazing deal. You should come if you like sushi because it's fantastic. Also, the service was excellent! read more

Super sad they aren't open for lunch but still a wonderful meal and time. However they don't serve sake which is a bummer..but the sushi was on point and you get basically two rolls for one. read more

My favorite takeout spot for me in Greenwood. Bao tacos are great. Prices aren't too bad either (all things considered) . And I find the food comes out quickly on top of it all read more

Cute casual place with a good lunch time(3pm till 6pm) and late night (9pm till close) happy hour deal Monday-Friday that features food and drinks. Service is impossibly SLOW. We came for a birthday dinner with a large group of 7 on a Friday night. It was very hard to tell who was staff and who were customers which was kind of odd. Our host probably muttered that our table was ready three times before anyone realized he was the host. Our actual server was attentive. I could tell the kitchen was getting a lot of to-go orders so it took almost an hour for our table to get our food. Don't come here starving. The sushi rolls and other dishes we tried ranged from A-OK to pretty good. - Korean Fried Chicken (special item): Huge chicken drums and wings. The kimchi was my favorite part! The chicken was well fried with an amazing skin but I just wished it was seasoned better. Kind of bland for Korean fried chicken if you're familiar with it. - Hot Chicken Bao: Yummy little bites of hot chicken in a Bao with pickled veggies. Everything went really well together. Yum! - Volcano Roll: Really good! I believe we ended up getting salmon on top of ours and it was delicious. - Sexy Roll: Tasty roll with a good spicy kick! They also had a decent beer and cocktails selection. - Kyoto 75: So refreshing and light! I could drink something like this everyday. - Lemongrass Mule: A good take on a traditional mule. I enjoyed it. Overall, despite the long wait, this casual sushi place is worth checking out. I would definitely come back for the happy hour! read more

Food: the last time I dined here, both the menu selection and the food was superlative. The menu has changed (as they do) and the updated menu doesn't offer as many items that interest me. I ordered sushi, and I think the fish was probably good, but I couldn't tell because the rice and nori were dry, and it was only 6:30 pm - the early part of dinner service. My dining companion's sashimi was beautiful and she said it was delicious. Service is stellar. Ambience - I am distracted by the way the building abuts with the parking lot because headlights and traffic are always on my mind. Suggestion: get your sashimi fix here! read more

I came in to get some to go sushi. The waiter, Nicolas (I think) was fantastic. He didn't bother too much but was very attentive and personable. Additionally, he recommended the "Sexy" sushi, so I ordered that and a side of fried rice. When I got home the to go food was so good and the sushi was amazing. I wish I had taken a photo because it was visually appealing as well. However, I ate it so quick and am writing this very pleased. I will most definitely return and cannot wait to be back! read more

there was barely anything inside the $18 king cobra roll.... I also asked for a customisation and it came without it. nothing "Nom" about this place read more

I had kimchi ramen and it's one of the best ramens I have had. I had it with adding chilli oil and garlic oil . Tje broth was flavorful. The portion was a good size with great portions of protein, mushrooms and kimchi vegetables. It's creative fusion of kimchi in ramen! It's a bowl that's valued so much for money that I spent. Hands down! It's the best! And kudos to the small business owner with such a creative thought all the way from Burma! read more

I was so excited about this place because of the name! Nomzilla, that's exactly who I am. But...it was a disappointing experience. We called to order in takeout based on their menus on their site. Unfortunately they've apparently revamped their menu and didn't have things that were listed. They really need to update things because that is a frustrating way to start things off. They used to have some really unique items and those seem to be gone now - like their Quackmire roll which had duck & orange sauce. C'mon now, that sounds cool as heck. So we ended up just ordering a Panko Salmon Roll $12 and their Tempura Brownie $9. So...the panko salmon roll, tasty & enjoyable though it was over half rice with very little fish in it (see photo). Not sure it's a $12 roll. But then the brownie! This must be an item they decided to revamp, too. It used to be this super cool deep fried tempura brownie with a scoop of green tea ice cream. What we got was a brownie with a side of caramel sauce. For $9? Me thinks not. But even more sad was the brownie had zero flavor at all save for a bit of cinnamon which did not belong or taste good. They need a new brownie recipe and if the dessert is literally just a plain ol' brownie, that price needs to be cut by four bucks. Charging $9 for that is ridiculous, but even more offensive when it doesn't taste delicious. We actually threw this away after a couple of bites. I'm not eating unappetizing calories for no reason! Nomzilla had potential with their cute name & cool graphics. But revamping their menu & not updating it online? Not cool. Charging $9 for a subpar brownie? Also not cool. read more

Our first time here and we were not impressed. My husband arrived before I did and said things were "in disarray". Clutter was on shelves behind the bar and the sushi area was used for storage as well. My husband was able to take a video of sushi chef eating while preparing the sushi. It was not professional looking. As far as how was the food, I think the atmosphere ruined my meal. Just wanted to go and get back to work. I was disappointed! read more

The food was great! We got ramen and chicken fried rice. The vibe was a little weird inside the restaurant but was still good food and decent drink selection! read more

I was so glad to walk out of this place so I never have to return. Good riddance. First off, the host told me the booth I wanted to seat in was unavailable because the server was "not available", only to see soon after (2-3 mins) someone get seated at that booth. After that, we order our food and most of it was awful. The only thing that didn't taste like it was freshly shit out of someone's asshole was the signature rolls, note that there are only 3 signature top rolls. The appetizers and everything non sushi related were fine but if you want sushi I suggest going anywhere but here. I hear there is a guy off of Ellington in a ditch making some sushi for half the price, probably better than here. read more

The food, in of itself, was fine. However, the only thing I actually got to eat was the ginger salad. I was with a group friends and we all ordered. The waiter, looked like he was 15 years old, wrote everything down. Everyone's food started coming out except mine. My husband came later and when he ordered his food I asked him to order me the ginger salad. Both of our salads came but nothing else. I was starving. Then the waiter came back to ask if we were still waiting on something. We said, yes, our entrees. He got flustered and said the order was never put in and he asked what was it that we wanted. By this time all my friends had finished eating and I was not pleased with the service we received so I told him to forget it. And that will be my last visit to Nomzilla. I don't eat out a lot anyway but when I do I expect competent service and it was lacking at this restaurant. read more

The vegetarian rolls are exactly what vegetarian/vegan sushi should be, yet isn't anywhere else! I had the following rolls: The Vegan: deep fried tofu, beets, asparagus and carrots inside, "brûlée" avocado and a sesame-ginger sauce and microgreens on top. Very tasty, I think this one was my favorite. I usually find raw beets to be overpowering and unpleasant, but they were very subtle here. The sauce was really nice. I wouldn't say I tasted the "brûlée" on the avocado but this was an all-around perfect vegan roll. Crunchy Cabbage: vegan, deep fried tofu inside deep fried cabbage on top with hot sauce and scallions. Don't let the word "cabbage" scare you because I didn't even realize it was there. They should just call this the spicy crunchy crunch roll because it tastes like delicious golden brown, soft yet crunchy crunch tempura. The hot sauce is about a 4 or 5 out of 10 on a spicy scale, and has a nice tangy flavor to it. If you're a vegan who misses tempura, this is it. Freggie: carrot and cucumber inside, mango, avoado and strawberry on top. Could lose the strawberries but I guess that's the point and what makes it unique. I picked those off and the rest was very tasty - simple, refreshing and satisfying. read more

There aren't too many sushi/Asian places in town that offer so many gluten free options, so I was thrilled to stumble upon so many at Nomzilla! The menu is very clearly labeled what contains gluten and I was shocked to see so many gluten free sauces! The Bulgogi Beef bowl was perfect. The steak was cooked with so much flavor. The sushi was great too. Not the best I've ever had, but still fresh none the less. Will definitely be back. read more

Stopped by to grab white rice for family dinner (we had forgotten to start the rice in time). Nice people. Fairly quick. $6 for three portions of rice seemed fine, until I opened the containers. Not even a full scoop of rice per order. All three orders fit in to one side container. read more

I don't post here, but I feel compelled to say this: The downfall of Nomzilla makes me so sad. I was a regular of the original restaurant--when I say I spent $100 or more there a week I'm not exaggerating. As a celiac it was one of the few places I felt truly safe (the staff was amazing) and as a sushi lover the quality was always top notch. The new ownership changed all of that. Not only can they no longer accommodate celiac safely, but the quality of the fish in the sushi is below grocery store sushi. I hate to lose a beloved part of my week but I won't ever eat there again. The new ownership should have seen what kept the loyal customers coming back for and done their best to keep those things. Instead they changed everything, including suppliers, making for low quality food that is no longer safe for celiac or appealing to the devoted vegan customers who loved the place. What a loss for our community! read more

Nomzilla is the place to go! Food was fresh and tasty. They have plenty of gluten free items that are noted so on the menu making it an easy order. Our server, Cassie, had great recommendations, took amazing care of us and is a sweetheart. Restaurant smelled super clean. I ate a house salad, kung pow boa buns and calamari Gluten free wife ate aloha roll and Philly roll. Then even have tamari! read more

This place is pretty good for vegetarians, but my boyfriend who is non-veg is not always the most impressed with their sushi. The tofu bao is great! I sometimes crave the tofu bao and just get that to-go. The tofu ramen is underwhelming and flavorless, so would not recommend this. The veggie rolls are interesting, and at least more options than most places. But they're not the most flavorful. The crunchy cabbage is good, but there are other veggie sushi places that have really good crunchy cabbage :) read more

Stopped by for happy hour on Tuesday after work to get my sushi. I was very impressed by the prices on their happy hour menu! I chose the vegan crunchy cabbage roll ($4), a house salad ($3), and opted for the lemongrass mule -- their only happy hour cocktail offering, but fortunately for me, a fresh take on my favorite cocktail (Moscow mule) -- for only $5. My whole meal came out to only $12. That's how much the drink alone costs at other spots in the area!! You can't beat the prices, period. Even so, the food totally shines for the value!! The greens and peanutty dressing in the house salad were both steps above the typical romaine salad at many similar restaurants, and the crunchy cabbage roll was such a unique and satisfying vegan option. Pro tip: For my dear Chronically Cold™ friends, I would recommend bringing a sweater; this might not be typical as I've only eaten here once, but by the end of the meal my fingers were about to go numb and I am an Always Hot™ person (I couldn't come up with a cute alliterative name but I'm very much down to hear your best suggestions). Bottom line: I will definitely be back -- with some extra layers. :) read more

I enjoy dinners here, I have been here about 4 times now. The food and service are consistent. I did give 4 star tho cause the menu is Slightly Overpriced (especially the drinks) but still a great place to eat and they do have tasty cocktails! read more

We usually love this place but everything has put a terrible taste in our mouth after this trip. It took 40 min to get rice and grilled chicken and we dropped something on the ground and the minute we picked it up the item was filthy as if their floors haven't been cleaned in over a year. The waiter was incredibly rude and not apologetic in the least when we asked how much longer our food would take. Never coming back. read more

Delicious! Super fresh and fast. I have celiac so finding a tasty and accommodating sushi place can be tough. We will be back over and over again, for sure! The chicken wings were amazing and the Aloha Roll and house salad were great! read more

This place is so convenient if you live in East Nashville. We ordered the hot chicken buns, miso tofu ramen, and king pao chicken noodles. The hot chicken buns were tasty. The chicken definitely had some spice but overall it was a little dry and not that flavorful. The miso ramen was quite bland so I had to add some spices. The noodles were ok but really tasted like bottled sauce poured over noodles with veggies. The dinner to go portions were MASSIVE. read more

Great costumer service and very delicious food! Spice level was perfect, I totally recommend going here if you want some real sushi.

i'm so sorry to learn that Nomzilla Sushi Etc restaurant was sold. Service tonight was still good but the menu is drastically different. The food is neither artistic nor beautiful and the menu uncreative. All of my favorite dishes are gone. The sushi is average - it's not bad, just underwhelming. Previous reviews and the website description are misleading because that menu and vibe doesn't exist anymore. read more

Have eaten here many times and enjoyed it. We have all weathered price changes, portion sizes, etc..... but what happened to service! We sat the entire meal with our dirty plates, extra glasses...... Our server was NOT busy! She was walking around going in some back room. We had a visitor and I did not want to say anything. Other workers walked by.....was so disappointed. read more

This was my first visit to Nomzilla. The hostess was friendly and took my carry-out order quickly. It took a while for my order to come out. While I waited, I noticed that the hostess checked the temperatures of customers who chose to dine in. The hostess wore a mask the whole time I was there. When I got to my destination, my food was still hot. I ordered Yakisoba noodles with chicken, a tempura vegetable appetizer, and a side of mixed vegetables. All the food tasted good, but the tempura vegetables tasted like they had been fried, left sitting for a while, then fried again. They had a lot of oil in them and the batter was much thicker than I'm used to having on tempura. Overall, I enjoyed the food, and I would go back again. read more

So I finally ate here tonight with my bf and baby and this place SUCKS.. Waited 15 minutes in an empty restaurant for anyone to even notice me.. the wait time for food was long and the quality was horrible... The rice on the sushi was mush and wasn't seasoned and the sushi itself was lacking in flavor and fish amount.. they did the bare minimum.. the pork bulgogi tasted sour and was super fatty so I didn't eat it.. the staff never even checked on us.. also I heard one of the waitsatff talking trash about babies while I'm sitting a foot behind her holding my one year old she l literally made eye contact with her..don't go here.. bahn mi next door is great and they are so nice and samurai sushi is way better even Kroger is better than this place read more
