Dear Sushi — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

Didn’t expect much walking into Dear Sushi, but this spot turned out to be a solid find. The place is clean and well-kept, though the walk-up counter setup threw me off at first—doesn't scream “sushi joint,” but don’t let that fool you.

We ordered the Firecracker Roll, the Wrap & Roll, and a fried rice with teriyaki chicken for the kids. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. You could tell the ingredients were clean and handled right. That fried rice? Spot on—good sear, seasoned well, and the chicken was tender, not dry or rubbery.

Sure, the location feels a little tucked away and rough around the edges, but let’s be honest—some of the best eats aren’t on main street. With rent prices being what they are, hidden gems like this make the most of it.

Bottom line: great food, fair prices, and a low-key spot worth checking out. I’d absolutely recommend...

This sushi house is not in plaza with high foot traffic. Their storefront is definitely not the most attractive either. So honestly I didn’t have much expectations. The staff were friendly though. My husband and I ordered an eel roll, an avocado spring roll, a spicy tuna roll and a crunchy tempura shrimp roll. And my gosh 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 they were all super delicious!! Mind you I am not a desperate sushi eater 😜. In fact I am quite picky and I can definitely tell if they are authentic or not. The size of the sushi were made just right. In Japan the sushi are meant to made into bite size so you won’t make a mess when you consume them. And this place made it the way I would see them in Japan. The crunchy roll was super crunchy. The spring roll is very refreshing. My only regret was that I only ordered four rolls! If you love sushi don’t...

We started with the rainbow special roll, Philly roll, tempura shrimp roll, and cream cracker roll. One out of our party of five ordered a plate of rice and they were able to make it without cilantro as requested. We greatly appreciate that. They gladly gave us extra sides of sauce when we asked too. All the rolls were delicious but our favorite was the cream cracker roll so we ordered two more. Everyone who had rolls had about 1.5 to 2 rolls worth of food and it was plenty of food for us and price of most rolls are somewhere in the range of $10-11 if I remember correctly. The service was as amazing as the food! Our waitress was so kind and she was happy to get a picture of all of us when I asked. I highly recommend Dear Sushi and I will be back next time I...
