Best Sushi Restaurants in The Gulch & North Gulch

10/10 experience. The service, food and atmosphere at O-Ku is top notch. We celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday and the way they catered to us was so intentional and thoughtful! Our waitress and the manager both were so kind and attentive and made our experience so special!

A dinner well worth booking as soon as you can (even if that is a month out)! We’ve been waiting for Kase to open since it was first mentioned to us when dining at their sister restaurant Noko. Everything from the moment you step into the entry bar is cozy and inviting. Arriving slightly early so you can enjoy a drink before the seating is a must! The mocktails rival any of their cocktails, so there’s something for everyone. The dining room is intimate and just 14 seats, but the noise level never got to a point that the small space did a disservice to the experience. You get an upfront seat to the chefs and they breakdown each piece as they plate it in front of you. Our personal favorites were course 1- hamachi and the middle courses serving 3 different cuts of tuna. We were celebrating a birthday and this is very much a perfect option for special occasions. The value is unmatched for Nashville without compromising on quality or creativity. As others have said before the playlist is indeed on point! Congratulations to the Kase x Noko team on a second 10/10 restaurant!

Our first time visiting and the food was amazing! We sampled an assortment of dishes and everyone was so good. All four of us would return!

Each year at Christmas, we gather for a special family dinner that has become a cherished tradition. This time, when we arrived, we noticed that our friend Marvelous wasn’t working. After texting her, Marvelous made the incredible gesture of driving 45 minutes just to join us and celebrate together. There are many places we could eat, but none offer the experience we share here—it’s not just about the good food, but the meaningful relationships that make it unforgettable.

The sushi is top notch and one of the best in Nashville. It’s in the touristy part of town but tucked away enough to be nice and cozy. Ambiance and noise level are good and I’ve had great service here, even when service had been at fault through miscommunication, the restaurant was willing to correct the issue. Sushi is fresh, creative, and tasty and there are lots of selections for Vegan sushi, more than I’ve seen compared to other places. Highly recommend this place if you’re downtown and want some high quality sushi.
