Best Japanese Restaurants in Music Row

This has been my 3rd or 4th time coming to Sunda, and each time the food and atmosphere has been wonderful. They have a great staff, our server Karim was nothing short of excellent and went above and beyond to accommodate us throughout the night. I will gladly return, and highly recommend Sunda to anybody and everybody!

We were greeted by a cheerful and courteous host team that quickly escorted us to our table. The table was amazing a semi-circle booth facing the bar. I highly recommend this table if you are an appreciator of great piano bar music. Our waiter was amazing and connected with all of the guests at our table quickly. He explained all the specials a little history about some of the drinks on the menu, including the famous Brittney drink, and then proceeded to make some of his personal recommendations. I highly recommend any of the seafood or sushi selections as they have been the best we have found in town. The manager came by several times to check on us and ask if we needed anything else. Overall, the experience was excellent and we always highly recommend this restaurant on our travels through Nashville. I would recommend making reservations well in advance and if you like, live music, make sure to request an area by the bar.

elena reached out before we arrived and made sure our evening was special! there was a gift and a personalized menu for my boyfriend, since we were celebrating his birthday. tiffany stopped by and made sure to wish him a happy birthday as well. everyone from the host stand to the food to the service was amazing. i feel bag for not remembering our server’s name, but she was wearing a red headband and had curly hair. she was so sweet and had great recommendations. we’ll definitely be back! great hospitality!

Our server, (forgot his name, but a tall and polite gentleman), took great care of us and brought us a free dessert and savory dish, as we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday and our five year anniversary. Something I enjoyed about him too, is he was informative, guided us through how the menu works, but was not overbearing in his delivery or presence at the table. I’ve been to so many places where you can tell the server is being a bit performative and will drown you in details instead of reading the room and giving people time to process lol. What really stood out as well, was the fact that every staff member we interacted with, (the host, server, and THREE other employees on the floor), all knew we were celebrating and made a point to congratulate us. You could tell they pay attention to special details here. My partner and I are both in the service industry (fine dining), so we notice the small stuff and had no complaints! Even our water glasses never dropped below 3/4ths full. Also worth noting — the value you get for the delicious food, great ambience, and service is WELL worth the price. A wonderful dining experience without breaking the bank. Would highly recommend this place 👍🏻

Wasn’t sure about a Japanese and Chinese place, but wow. We got the Sizzling Rice Seafood Soup, and it actually sizzled soooooo good. Also had the Egg Drop Flower Soup, which was warm and eggy in the best way. For mains, the Kung Pow was spicy and crunchy, and the pepper Steak was super flavorful and tender. Both were A+. Service was fast, portions were big, and everything tasted awesome. Would 100% eat here again.
