Zukku Sushi Knoxville — Restaurant in Knoxville

Would NOT recommend. Look at the Pictures. We've Probably spent over $350.00 on this place, and all four times were Disappointing. The first time my Husband and I went, the "Miso Soup" had hard Rocks in it... Turns out after attempting to eat it, we asked and learned that it was FRIED TOFU. Barf. There was no green onions in it and it was SO SALTY when we took it back the Dude there gave us Spring Rolls instead.... After trying it himself, he concurred with me. The spring rolls are VERY Small. Like Literally the Size of my Pinky. Not worth the Money when you only get 3 and spend like $6.00. Now... the best, or what for us- was actually the Worst Part... The Sushi. The first time we came they did "Okay" on the Cream cheese. Not great, but "ehhh Okay..." The second time was Bad. The Third time was not so good (and this is after I told them "Please, I love cream cheese" (LOL) and the Fourth time was just the straw that broke the Camels back for me. SO Bad. My Husband was sent to get the sushi alone, this time. He told me that they were rude with him when he had told everyone that it was "To-Go" instead of "for here", and they were pretty much huffing and puffing when they threw it in the Box. He said he was nice as possible but since he talks with a Russian accent, they felt the need to talk to Him however they pleased. Which is NOT okay. My Husbands English is good, and there's no reason why they have to talk to Him like he's an animal, and make him wait 40 minutes for food. No respect for your customers is NOT acceptable. So I would say the atmosphere is a bit off. Also for being in the kerns food hall, that's like the only thing they have going for them. The staff is rude, the sushi is overly hyped for BAD sushi and it takes forever for your "Masterpiece" to come out. And when it does, your expectations are flattened and destroyed into chaos all over a box bigger than your Bill. Go somewhere else.

My Recommendations:

-Save your Money, Time and Respect. (We've spent over $350 and was disappointed every time)

I will not do any pros or cons as the cons are FAR more than the Pros. I don't like to be "mean", "rude" or negative. Let's just say PLENTY of room for...

Paid what ended up around $18 for a custom “big” poke bowl. The bowl was half full and had maybe 10 small pieces of fish. And they forgot to put sauce on it, I had to go back and ask. I don’t usually write reviews but I do feel like this was a bit of a rip off and I was disappointed in my meal. With a drink and a tip it ended up being over $27 and it was hardly any food. The bowl itself, what little I got, did taste good and maybe some of their other offerings might be a better value but I’d stay away from the build-your-own bowl if what I experienced is the norm for that.

The food hall itself seems like it may still need some time to fully feel open, this sushi place was one of maybe 3-4 places open thus far. There also isn’t really enough parking on busy nights. We may be back in a few months but probably wont be visiting again soon, I’d prefer to give this place some time to come together a...

We just sort of fell out of the sky and landed in the Kern's food court for the first time last weekend, and decided we wanted to eat here, and we're sure glad we did! I ordered the Godzilla burrito and split with my wife, while our son got the Shrimp Volcano. Our daughters wanted some doughnuts from another vendor but our middle one decided to try the Matcha Lemonade from Zukku's. We were all very satisfied with our orders, and my wife was especially impressed with how fresh our order was. Also, the manager, John, was working that day and he was the absolute nicest, most helpful person we talked to all day. John is an expert in customer service and deserves all the praise we can send his way! His staff was excellent also, but I did not catch their names. We...
