“ Best miso soup ever! Great local spot - the service is always top tier. I've tried a wide variety of menu items and have never been disappointed. Everything is fresh and delicious, the space is always clean and inviting, and the people are friendly! Love this place! ”
“ Ordered takeout, it was very busy and it took a while for someone to see me, but the food was great! ”
“ Love this place! It's so good. Me and my roomies get it at least once a week. Takeout is just as good too ”
“ Great sushi, always fast service, take out is on-point no issues with any order. Reliable but won't blow your mind. I would rather eat here then O-ku. Which was not even close to being a top 10 Sushi spot in Charlotte NC (yes it's a chain). ”
“ Always consistently great food, solid service, and a casual atmosphere perfect for a weeknight out. ”
“ Really enjoyed this casual date night spot. The sushi was pretty good and they had a big selection of different rolls to choose from. We did have to wait about 8-10 minutes before given menus, but they were very busy and once we were greeted by our waiter he was great. We had 3 different rolls. Hot night, volcano, and the pink lady. All were very good but the hot night had to be my favorite! Would definitely come back to this place the next time I'm craving sushi! ”
“ Visited Nov 21, 2023. Omg, such a cute, little spot! Inside appearance is better than out. My family came here unintentionally due to long wait times at Sonobana. If you're a regular at Sonobana, this place would absolutely be worth trying because it's only 9 minutes away from them and hardly any wait times! My party ordered quite a spread and were pleased with each dish's flavor. The ambience is bright, clean, & cozy. The service is quick/helpful, along with ample private lot parking + street parking. Thrilled to come back for another round! ”
“ I dined in at Maru Nations - West Nashville on Tuesday, 11/21/23 at 6:30 P.M. The restaurant is conveniently located and easy to spot. Despite it being a busy evening, we didn't have to wait long for our table. Our server promptly provided us with menus and took our drink orders. The modern rustic decor of the restaurant sets a cozy ambiance, albeit a bit loud. Their extensive menu offers a range of sushi and Japanese cuisine that is sure to please any palate. We sampled several dishes, with a few standouts including beef fried rice, hamachi Kama, and a selection of sushi rolls. The beef fried rice was a flavor-packed dish, perfectly cooked with a fried egg, beef, and mixed vegetables. The Hamachi Kama, also known as yellowtail collar, is a tender cut of meat taken from the space between the gills and the head. It is charbroiled to perfection, giving it a slight charred flavor, and served with a delectable house sauce. Each bite was succulent, exploding with the sweetness of the meat. Their sushi options are quite impressive, offering a variety of special rolls, all priced under $20. I tried the Dragon and Tiger rolls, both of which were delicious. The Dragon roll composed of eel and cucumber topped with avocado, eel sauce, and tobiko, while the Tiger roll featured fried shrimp and spicy tuna topped with eel, avocado, and eel sauce. The rolls were well-constructed, remaining intact with each bite, and the perfect balance of rice and topping made each mouthful a delight. Overall, Maru Nations - West Nashville is a treasure trove of culinary delights. The food and service are exceptional, and the convenience of on-site parking, particularly given its proximity to the downtown area, is a definite plus. The prices are reasonable, striking a good balance with the quality of food offered, and the staff are notably friendly and welcoming. The restaurant operates three locations (East Nashville, West Nashville, and Hendersonville), ensuring accessibility for all patrons. As with many Japanese restaurants, they observe a midday break, so be sure to plan your visit accordingly. The experience at Maru Nations is well worth it. ”
