Great sushi and good price for two people. Everyone in here was nice and the place is clean. Seated immediately when we arrived. Very very good. Will be back read more

12 Minutes...that's how long it takes the conveyor belt/ train to make one rotation around the restaurant. So, if you see something you like you better grab it. For roughly $30/ person you will leave this place feeling like you ate as much sushi as you could possibly stuff down your gullet. You also can order apps of the menu for no additional charge. Plus there is a nice mix of deserts on the train too. Sit at the bar or get a little table next to the train. it's all good, except at the bar you can easily hear the people on the opposite side of the train. read more

Sushi Train - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've heard of Sushi Train for years but I never pulled the trigger to actually go. I've heard over the years from coworkers saying how awesome it is and it's a sushi lover's dream. Well, I don't know what it was like years ago but I can tell you I do not dream of Sushi Train. It's in this old beat up building. I don't know what it was before but it's a bit run down on the inside and out. Maybe this was an old Ryan's, Golden Corral, or Sizzler back in the day. In the nicest way, it's edible and if you're hungry, you'll be full. I ate my money's worth but I don't think I'll ever go back. First, the all you can eat price doesn't include the red plates, which is the choice sushi. Not saying all of the red plate choices were something I wanted, but the regular buffet plates were limited to 2-3 plates of what I actually wanted. Besides, I wasn't going to pay $5 "per plate" on top of the buffet price. A lot of times, all the choice plates were gone to those that sat near the beginning of the conveyor belt. On top of that, you never really knew how long the sushi sat there, which is scary in itself. If your philosophy on food is quantity, not quality, I would 100% say Sushi Train is up your alley. However, I think for my next sushi outing, I'll be going somewhere else. read more

I was so excited to find out we had a conveyer belt sushi in Nashville and this one didn't disappoint! The prices are pretty great at $14 all you can eat for lunch (ends at 3 I believe?) my only complaint is that the red plates cost an entire $5 more per each red plate, I don't mind paying extra for 1-2 nice desserts, but the basic crab stick sushi was also a red plate and $5 for two sticks of artificial crab meat and a little ball of rice is insane. Staff was friendly, the belt was well stocked, all of the sushi was fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back! read more

It was a neat experience, but the sushi was not very good. Some of the cooked Sushi was warm & fresh, but we had some raw that was room temp and the flavor was just not there. You have to be careful and not get the red plates it's an extra charge. But we did accidentally get one and it was really good. The regular plates that We're all you can eat we're basic & a couple had an off taste. (Not fresh) Was a neat place to try, nice atmosphere...but probably would not return. read more

I love the concept! Truly the best way to do All You Can Eat style sushi out there, I wish it was more present in other areas of the country (especially in my hometown), but I really enjoyed having this experience while I was visiting Nashville. For the uninitiated, conveyor belt style eating is done by pulling small plates off a conveyor belt that is continuously moving throughout the dining room. Patrons usually sit around a circular or oval shaped bar, but sometimes you see the conveyor belt meandering all over the place. They can be covered or uncovered, I really appreciated that the conveyor belt at Sushi Train was covered! Much more sanitary. In non-AYCE situations, your plate color corresponds to a price, the staff simply total up your plates. At sushi train, it appears there is an option to go a la carte, but at 25 bucks, I don't understand why you wouldn't go for the all you can eat option unless you just want a snack. Also, the conveyor belt is massive, centrally located to the restaurant and diving in and out or rows of seats. It's a large place, great layout, and the staff works hard to keep it stocked. As much as I loved the format, I will say that most of the sushi I ate was just OK and there were a couple that I didn't like. I did like that not just rolled sushi was circulating, but also nigiri, appetizers, cold salads, and desserts. Your waitress would also take special requests from you for anything you saw on the menu but not on the belt, included in the price! All in all, even if the sushi itself was pretty average, this place gets a 5 from me for their superior style of service, and a format that allows me to try small portions of a great variety of foods, as opposed to committing to large rolls limiting what I can try. I would definitely come back and bring friends! read more

First time visiting. Pricing was explained and it looked good, so we had a great lunch. We really enjoyed ourselves and will come again. Seated immediately. read more

Food: the sushi looks awful it looks no fresh we sat at the end of the "train" we didn't see any good sushi by the time it got to you all was there was a sign. They trick you by saying 13.99 then server tells you "red plate" 5 dollars more‍ so that should make it 18.99 for lunch. Anyways the train looks like it would collect germs from everyone breathing on it. I hate to bash this place but I was disappointed bad. I got the hibachi and it was ok. Don't waste your money or time driving to this place. One star because the sushi didn't look safe or edible it seems dirty and not clean my first bad review of a restaurant . read more

Was absolutely disappointed. I had family come in from out of town that I hadn't seen in a while and decided to go to sushi train. I love this place and am typically there once a week. But on this occasion, I wanted to get the dinner and my family wanted to get the lunch and they wouldn't allow us and I had to sit at a different table because I got the dinner price and the waitress called. I guess the senior hostess or manager over and they would not budge so my family who just flew in is at a table all by themselves and I'm sitting across from them at the bar counter, and it was probably the worst experience I ever had and for some reason, maybe they thought that we were gonna steal three dollars in sushi, but I won't ever go back there now read more

Went into Sushi Train around 1:30 on a Saturday to find a dirty, sad display of sushi. All sushi included in the lunch price was very basic with little to no specialty rolls, and honestly the whole selection was pretty slim in general. The conveyor was not very full so if you didn't sit near the beginning of the line, good luck in getting anything. Beyond that the windows to reach into the conveyor were covered in finger prints, and the whole place was dark and nasty feeling. After watching some measly sushi bites go by, we found out that the red plates (desserts, specialty rolls) on the conveyer were an additional $5 per plate unless you upgraded from the lunch price ($16/person) to the dinner price ($26/person). I wouldn't be opposed to paying that price if the establishment was clean and there was a better selection overall. We tried to settle on just ordering a roll from the menu to share, but none of the specialty rolls that were on the conveyor were on the menu to be ordered individually. Overall, I'm thankful we hadn't decided to just go for it and try a bite, because we ended up deciding to go elsewhere. I wouldn't waste your time here if you're an actual fan of good sushi. read more

I always enjoy my time at sushi train! If it's your first time going, i recommend going at dinner time. When you go at dinner it's a flat rate and you can eat anything you want. If you eat at lunch you'll have to be careful because red plates are extra (it's their more expensive sushi options) There are signs at the tables that explain the pricing and everything. The staff also explains everything too if it's your first time there. They don't hide anything from you, just read the sign or ask your waiter/ waitress! The sushi is tasty and i've never had issues with anything tasting bad or not being fresh. If you don't want to get sushi from the "train" you can order the sushi rolls you want fresh off the menu provided (no additional charge). If you don't like sushi, you can also order hibachi and appetizers (again at no additional cost) Overall, it's a fun experience and you get the most bang for your buck coming here. read more

While the train mechanism was broken yesterday, that didn't stop them from cranking out great food! I did the all you can eat and it was a really good value. The starter, main and sushi was terrific and the service was superb. Though ostensibly a Japanese restaurant, the Chinese music was good though not what I was expecting. I drank ice tea - fresh and free refills, so that was really nice. However, they offer many alternatives. Looking forward my next visit - it won't be so many years apart, for sure! read more

I've only been to two sushi trains before and this was the better of the two. There was a LOT of food choices and desserts and it was all you can eat which meant that I could try several things. All were good. Crazy girl was my favorite along with the Chinese donuts. The waitress, Judy, was prompt and very helpful. I couldn't have asked for more in a server. The restaurant is older and in a shopping center area but a stand alone building. No worries there. The tables were set up so that six people could sit around a table easily and have the two closest reach in whenever needed. My bad luck tonight however was four kids who used the open space as a playground and were loud and disruptive to the other diners. Rude. Not Sushi Trains fault, but it very much h tainted my experience. read more

I'll have to admit that the reviews made me nervous, but my friend loves Sushi Train so I decided to give it a go on my last trip. I was pleasantly surprised! We went around 8 and were seated right away, though there were a fair amount of people in the restaurant. The lobby and the table/chairs were clean and well kept as well. The sushi on the conveyer is definitely above grocery store quality, but not as nice as you would get from a made to order restaurant. Between four of us we sampled almost every roll and no one regretted their grabs off of the belt! You can also order hibachi, appetizers, and soups off of the all you can eat menu (included in the price) and they were all average but tasty as well. The bathrooms were a bit dirty, so they could definitely work on that. All in all I would go back to Sushi Train! We enjoyed our meal for a very nice price of $24.99 per person, which is a great deal for all you can eat sushi. Pro tip: if you can, ask to sit at one of the tables closer to the beginning of the "train." Not only will you get the freshest sushi, but you'll get first pick of your favorite rolls! read more

Sushi Train - The "train" ft. the Spider Tempura Roll (very tasty) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This place was top tear the worst sushi place to go to, not only because of the price or because of the taste of the actual food itself. It's what's in the damn food, you go and eat and for two people all you can eat is $62, $60 sum dollars just to get food poisoning. you walk in they set you down and you have to wait for the food to come around over and over, one you don't know how long that food has been on the conveyer belt for and two you have no idea what else those plastic tops have been on. Me and my Boyfriend ate the "cooked" sushi, not the raw, and even though they say cooked it was not fuckin cooked. I will never in a million years go back and I would never recommend eating there ever unless you want to get food poisoning just like the news covered back in May. read more

Do not bother. They give you a "all you can eat" price. Then tell you all the red plates are an extra $5. But almost everything they had out on 3pm on a Saturday was red plates. We had very few options and would have to wait several minutes for anything to come up. Then, once we found a plate we like, it would be red when it came back around, and would be an additional $5 for literally 2 tiny bites. After seeing that my bill was almost 70 bucks and my entire family was leaving hungry, I very politely asked for some sort of discount as we barely ate anything due to this. I was told that there was nothing they can do. If you're hungry, skip it. If you enjoy throwing 70 bucks in a toilet, have at it! read more

The ambiance was good and we loved the music selection they had playing. The service was quick and friendly. The food was good but don't think there red plates are worth $4.99 each with the portion size. During dinner they are included, will have to go back during that time. Price wasn't bad for what you get at lunch. read more

This place changed my life! It's literally an endless train of sushi, it's a beautiful thing. I recommend coming here for lunch, it's so affordable, quick, and you get so full. Be sure to read the all you can eat menu as they explain that (during lunch) red plates are an extra charge, and they charge for wasted food. The staff is friendly and helpful! If they have it, you have to get the Green Tea Cheesecake. It's a red plate but worth the up-charge. You can't beat prices like this. For a little more money the dinner option includes red plates and some additional options off the menu. If the sushi train isn't your vibe, you can order specific sushi from the menu as well. I've been twice, and this is my new go-to sushi spot. read more

Pricing strategy hard to understand, we couldn't all get something separate for our group each had to get the all you can eat or from menu. Price was good but the food was not good. I ordered hibachi steak and my steak was gray and the rice tasted greasy... soup and salad was available but you couldn't get both. They charge you extra for food wasted so don't go crazy . First impression of the miso soup was dirty sink water and tasted of fish... positive side was the experience and atmosphere was nice. I do not recommend it if you are hungry and want good edible food. read more

Fun, fast and fresh! The $13.99 all you can eat lunch is offered every day! The red plates are an extra charge but they provide enough options to fill you up! I would have liked a miso soup and A ginger salad on the belt but I am still impressed with the concept, service and quality!!! read more

Have been here for dinner a few times for the all-you-can-eat, which is $25 per person. Really good price for all-you-can-eat sushi, seafood, and other off-the-menu items like steak hibachi and specialty rolls. Not the best sushi I've had but the quantity makes up for the quality. Fun experience too with the sushi going around on a moving belt throughout the restaurant, where you can take plates as you desire. I usually leave absolutely stuffed to the point of dread, but something about this place always brings me back... read more

Sushi Train - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Very low quality food. I went today for dinner all you can eat $26.99 deal hibachi was spoiled stake was uncooked. Sushi was following apart. I throw up after I left everything I ate. Literally $36 went to trash. So not coming back never again. read more

The quality of the fish here is absolutely TERRIBLE, like slightly worried I will get sick. in addition to that, when I sat down I asked the rules to the dinner special he said everything is included. That is all. When I asked to be closed out he told me that I would be charged for what I didn't eat. NO ONE mentioned that when I sat down. Also, you are not allowed to pick the fish off of the sushi or you get charged extra. read more

This was a great experience and I would come back. Very clean and put out new food every rotation. The service was good, every time my drink would get a little closer to being empty someone would refill it! They are also very nice and kind to customers! read more

If your goal is to savor the best sushi you've ever tasted in a fancy setting then skip this place. However if your goal is to have fun with friends/family* and stuff your face with as much sushi as you can eat, you've come to the right place. The service is very straightforward, after seating you are only checked on occasionally to see if you want to order extra from the included menu and to clear empty plates. Otherwise they stay out of your way so you can focus on the previously mentioned face stuffing. They know exactly what they're doing and are very to the point which is perfect for the atmosphere. Overall this is one of the next sushi places I've been to that I visit again and again. Whether from the train or the menu everything here is a fantastic deal for the price. Just be sure to /know your limit/! They charge extra if you leave more than 3 pieces of sushi so don't waste their food and only grab what you can eat. And go during dinner to get the best bang for your buck. The earlier the better so you get seated closer to the kitchen and get first pick of what comes out. *Friends and family not required. I went by myself this last time and had a great time seeing how many plates I could finish on my own. read more

very friendly staff and inviting atmosphere for the lunch price you are very limited on the options that come out on the conveyor belt. for an upcharge i believe to the dinner price can get you some of the specialty rolls but we ended up not staying. the glasses displaying the sushi were pretty dirty and we didn't feel the price justified the sushi coming out. was giving kroger sushi vibes read more

This place was so disappointing. We've been to a number of Japanese/sushi places where you pay for all you can eat or pay by the plate and this was a weird combo. The problem is no one explained it to us when we arrived. Our waitress got our drinks then disappeared for 30 minutes. We grabbed a couple plates off the conveyor for my ten year old (who would have to pay the $25 adult price for AYCE) thinking we could pay by the plate since he was so hungry. When the waitress finally came back (my husband had to flag her down) they made a big deal about it since they have switched from pay by plate to AYCE recently. They eventually agreed to let me pay for his plates, but they made a big scene talking about it and embarrassed us. The food itself was just not that great and the plexiglass around the conveyor was dirty. I'm certain we will not be back again. $70+ for my family of three with this low level of service and quality was not worth it. read more

I love this place! It is so fun seeing the different sushis coming out on the conveyor belt, deciding if you want to grab it. The lunch is cheap, of course there is an up-charge for the red plates, but if it looks good then grab it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! The green tea cheesecake is on a red plate but was 100% worth the extra couple bucks. I debated grabbing a second plate because it was so good! Is it 10/10 sushi? Of course not, but the experience is fun and the sushi is good for the affordable prices. This is a fun place to come on a date, or with a small group of friends. It is quiet yet still lots of fun and plenty of easy conversations can be made about the different things coming around. For all of the reviews that say "Read the fine print, red plates cost extra, you are charged for anything not eaten." Yeah... it says it clear as day on the sign on all tables and the person who sat us told us that information as well. Don't dock the reviews because of your poor planning and reading. I love it here! read more

Excellent sushi, rotating around the tables. Reasonable prices. Includes desserts. Drinks are extra.

We had wanted to try this for a long time and we were very disappointed. You need to sit very close to the start in order to get anything. The red plates have the good items and they cost extra PER PLATE. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU IF YOU LEAVE TO MANY PIECES FROM ITEMS YOU TAKE OFF GHE BELT, which is annoying because some items were disgusting tasting. Anyway we will not return, way to much $$$ to money get a handful of edible items. The service was meh. The inside reminds me of a cafeteria. The whole experience was a huge fail. read more

Our first visit here. There was a lot of variety and the idea is really fun! It reminded me of the floating ducks that you pick up as they go by at the carnival! I got to try several different items that I would not normally try for less than it would cost elsewhere. The food tasted good. The service was great and our server was really sweet! The restaurant looked a little cluttered and rundown. The restroom was tragic. I felt sick all evening, not sure if it was overeating or the food so I'm not going to ding them for that. I probably won't return read more

Friendly staff, Run down facilities and infrastructure. Signs were handwritten and stained, old furniture etc. sushi was the poorest quality. Gave me a belly ache. But the train was fun. I thought it would be a good place to try new sushi but their offerings are so poor , the selection offered is not what you would get at a normal high quality sushi place read more

So much fun! If you have sushi lovers in your family - this place is for you! Highly recommend going when they first open. The closer you sit to the kitchen, the more variety you'll have. Lunch doesn't include RED plates. So, if you want the full experience, you'll need to be there for dinner. We broke all the rules. Showed up for lunch at 12:30 and literally sat at the last table. But, we still had a ball! They are closed from 3-4:30pm. read more

Terrible experience! We would not suggest this place. The staff was really rude to us! We didn't like the food. The rice and chicken had an old taste to it and It was not edible . We told the waitress that the food Had a very old Taste and the manager said : "you have to pay for all of it because it's not a Sample". I explained that we know it's not a sample but we would prefer a discount because we only tasted it. We didn't like the food at all. She argued with us and charged us. My children watched how unprofessional they are as they yelled at us over food. We had just noticed a sign saying you must pay for Uneaten food so be aware before going. My husband is in restaurant management and he watched this whole exchange and immediately noticed their management mistakes . Unprofessional and Poor quality food. I am a Nashville Native and I would suggest any other Sushi Spot honestly in Middle TN. There are some Great places near downtown. We felt nauseous after tasting it. The food quality is extremely poor. I would like an owner to inbox me so I can provide more details about the manager on duty during our visit. She was unprofessional. She's in the video attached . Thank you. read more
