    train

    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!

    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!

    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 .

    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!

    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.

    The people here are very friendly, the ingredients are fresh, the manager is also very nice, I think I will come again

    Ask the Community - Sushi Train

    Is all you can eat everyday, or what day, and what time, if any?

    All day but a lot isn't included in lunch. I wouldn't eat there for lunch.

    We plan to come today (Saturday) I see that it doesnt close down to switch to dinner like we are used to. Are things done differently on weekends? Also what's included on the lunch menu? Is there a decent select on sushi on there?

    Sushi at lunch is very limited. The good sushi pieces are an upcharge at lunch.

    Do they take reservations?

    There is no need for one. We called ahead but they were a bit confused as to why, and when we got there they knew who we were without asking our name, and there were several open tables. You might want to call ahead if you have more than six though.

We started off with a round of champagne and a bottle of red wine for dinner. We tried a variety of dishes since we were told that the set up is family style: Hamachi Crudo: 10/10 one of the best I've ever had! Super fresh and the sauce paired well with it. Bluefin Tune Crudo: 8/10 It was really fresh and well prepared, but I've had better elsewhere. I typically prefer bluefin tuna sashimi or nigiri anyway. Tuna Crispy Rice: 9/10 This was such a fun and delicious way to eat spicy tuna! All of the seasonings made it packed full of flavor. Tomahawk Ribeye 9/10: This was insanely tender, and well seasoned. Tip: ask for lemon wedges to sprinkle some lemon juice on it--thank me later. Broccolini 8/10: well prepared, and I loved the lemongrass garlic chili that topped it East Side Shrimp 7/10: These were well cooked and well seasoned. Loved the salad placed underneath it. Wagyu Tartare 8/10: It was well prepared and loved that it's paired with nori and rice. Wished it had a bit more punch to it in terms of seasoning. Crab Fried Rice 8/10: this was delicious but still say it's a solid 8. Beautifully prepared! Korean Hot Wings 2.5/10: I could tell that it was well cooked, but it was insanely salty; it was practically inedible. Hurricane Fries 9/10: These were so delicious! You are immediately hit with the smell of truffle, which made my mouth water. Packed with flavor! Brussels 7/10: These were well roasted, but the sauce was a tad too sweet for my liking. I highly recommend trying this place out!

You are ushered back through a curtain into a speakeasy style omekase that seats 14. You're taken to your spot at the bar and greeted with a drink menu. Chef already in place. I grabbed an Yuzu honey bee, which is made with Maker's Mark, honey syrup, yuzu, and pink peppercorn. As they are using a non-rye bourbon (Makers is 70% corn, 16% red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley), the peppercorn adds a bite of a bite you expect with a good rye. Thumbs up. The preparation, interaction and the atmosphere are all top notch. I can't say the same for the food. I am sure the cuts were high end, but many of the items tasted old, giving it a taste that was not much better than supermarket sushi on some of the bites. The artistry was top notch, but the fish was off. I had great engagement with the chef, who is orginally from South America. Andy, who I have known for a long time from Black Dynasty, came in for the next round (we only required 1 chef, as there were only 4 people doing the experience). I give a full thumbs up on the atmosphere and experience. If the sushi had rung the same bell, this could have easily been a 5 star. I imagine this is not the normal experience one has here as I am seeing a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews of the spot. Not sure if it was a slow weekend and they did not sell enough and figured they had one more day or something else, but I was thankful I did not add on and stuck with the special only. As they are now running the $55 special Sunday through Thursday, I have a feeling they either are not hitting with the tourist crowd or others have been in the same boat. It is a shame, as the experience is excellent.

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 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.

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.
