    Entrance

    Still the best spot in Memphis for pho. The team is always welcoming and friendly. The food is always fresh and flavorful. I tried the shrimp pho this time and I love their unique way how they prepare the shrimp instead of just boiling it. Make sure to stop by during this winter to enjoy their wide variety of foods.

    Combo kimchi pho
    Mathew S.

    Haven't been in years; decided to stop by for dinner. The interior is far more sparse than it was years ago. Kind of Spartan in its appointment, there's a big green wall with faux plants when you come in. It looks deceptively large from the outside...the market that faces Summer takes up a lot of the footprint (but is worth a stop by- roasted pork and duck to-go). The staff was busy but attentive, not much for convo. This is a place to go for for food, not experience (anymore?). Had three rolls and pho. Phoenix, Rainbow, something else; spicy pho and combo kimchi pho. The rolls were good. The ones with cream cheese were better than those without. But, alas, nothing that made them stand out remarkably from, say, Sakura. The pho was a bit underwhelming (and perhaps because I'm not a 'man, I could really go for soup! kinda guy). But I've had better pho elsewhere. The broth wasn't as depthy or layer as other places (Crazy Noodle). The kimchi added hints of novelty, but nothing that broke the mold. All in all, great place if you're looking for a peacemaker if you want good pho AND sushi. But good does not great make. It's a compromise, a 3 star solid destination.

    Best sushi in Memphis! The servers are great and even box your food up for you at your table. We love the dumpling appetizers. If you like kimchi with a good kick then this is the place to try it. The Firecracker sushi is my absolute favorite. I once ordered it 3 times in one week.

    Pho with pork and vegetable dumplings
    Dianna S.

    Stopped in for a bowl of Pho Thursday afternoon. Great day for soup. It was partly sunny, cool and windy. The yummy soup warmed up my cold bones. I had the pho with pork and vegetable dumplings. Very tasty. My aunt had the pho with beef tenderloin. Good bone broth for both bowls of soup. The soup was a good serving and we had leftovers to take home. Soup was served with Thai basil, jalapeños, lime, and bean sprouts. Good mix of soup fixings. The restaurant is average size. Our server was excellent. She was courteous and very nice. Parking is plentiful and the restaurant is right next to Great China Market. You can go grab a bite to eat then go shopping for much needed Asian staples for cooking. Lunch was about $35.00 with tax. We also ordered a pot of tea. It was Oolong tea. Will be back for other types of available pho. Sushi is also available but we did not order any for lunch. Will be back again soon. Very nice place!

    Very good and fresh. It was a great experience. Probably some of the best in Memphis. Good variety of rolls. Straight to the point of sushi. I would def be back to try more rolls. The server was really nice and it was really nice and quiet to enjoy your meal. You won't be disappointed

    I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The outside is plainly decorated and missable when driving by but once you enter it has a nice set up. The kitchen and dining area is impeccably CLEAN! Customer service was great as well. Don't hesitate to drop in to eat or order to-go. I ordered the Crispy Dumplings (made with pork) (not pictured) and they were delicious! The sweet chili dipping sauce really set them off. For the main, I ordered the Seafood Pho. The broth was delicious, shrimp tasty, and noodles cooked perfectly. You get a huge serving that's enough for leftovers! Overall, I will return here to try out some of their sushi options as they do serve that as well.

    Cozy place, tasty pho and friendly people. For sure will come back!!! Not sure about the sushi roll then.

    Dumplings are spot on!
    Barrett O.

    I've been a customer here for many years, long before they became RYU sushi & pho. This place is a hidden gem, with sushi is always fresh, and tasty. Always has been my favorite place to go for sushi in the entire area, and their bento boxes are the best too. Some of my faves are Seaweed Salad, Shrimp Tempura, Edamame, Fried dumplings, Cowboy, Firecracker, Spicy Shrimp Rolls, and Pho Combo. Bottom line: Simple on the outside, pleasant on the inside, friendly service, moderately priced, and usually no wait. You can also order online at their website for pickup and delivery, nice. A big plus is an Asian market next door, the best in town. Recommended!! https://www.ryusushibarmemphis.com/

    Pho shrimp. Delicious.
    J H.

    My elderly dad loves pho, my priority after he moved in with us was getting something he likes. We stopped by Ryu on a Thursday around 1:30pm. There was only one other table occupied, but the staff was super friendly, so accommodating, and the pho was DELICIOUS. We both got pho shrimp, but I'm excited to try the pho kimchi. Also ordered a to-go nigiri and roll for my husband, and he loved it. It's a comfortable place, the pho (that we had) is delicious and the staff was welcoming and professional.I'm excited about going here more often, for su

    Not bite size sushi: Cali Roll
    Alexis B.

    I placed an order the DoorDash and surprisingly my order was correct and delivered earlier than expected. I ordered 2 California rolls, 1 fire roll and 1 firecracker roll! The fire and firecracker roll were pretty much the same except the firecracker roll had crab ontop. All the flavors were good but I'm real big on bite size sushi. These were not bite size, not even the Cali rolls! I hate to take two bites out of sushi or have to stuff my mouth the eat it all at once. That was my only issue with the food. Four rolls came up to $37.70-not too bad.

    My food amazing taste
    Enrique C.

    Restaurant looks ok from the outside but once you get inside the place transforms and you are seated wherever you want and waiter was super nice and friendly, so once we got to the food all I can say is WOW. The tempura with my Box was delicious Another perfect spot we have found for our sushi cravings in Memphis it is a must for us to stop by again
