We stopped in for an early dinner on a Wednesday night in July and found the place almost empty. Ordered spring rolls (great), tempura shrimp (wonderful), sashimi combo (good) and katsu chicken (good). Prompt service and good oriental atmosphere. We hope to go back again and try more. Prices comparable to others in the area.
Great food, awesome location and ambiance, wonderful servers, and average price point for the authenticity! One of my fav hole in the wall sushi places in town.
Sushi 88 isn't the best sushi place in town, but I honestly don't have any complaints about the food. The only thing I will say is that they seem to take quite a bit to bring your dishes out, and one of the people at our table ended up waiting 20 minutes while we were all already eating before they received their food. Most of their special sushi rolls are tempura based, so keep that in mind. Here's what I tried: -Rainbow Roll: 8/10 - delicious, topped with fresh fish and rich avocado, and the crunch inside adds great texture. I would just love for there to be a spicy mayo on top or something just to add a little touch. -Chicken Teriyaki Entree: 8/10 - This is a LOT of food! It comes with gyoza, soup, and rice, and the chicken itself is your standard Teriyaki entree. Again, it's nothing mind-blowing but it's what you expect, though still on the expensive end even considering everything you get with it. -Chicken Katsu Ramen: 8/10 - Pretty big portion, comes with an egg that was just slightly runny, lots of delicious noodles, some Bok Choy, and the crispy chicken katsu. The chicken was a bit thin and not the most flavorful, but it was very crispy. The broth was warm and salty, just not the deepest flavor, but that's expected with normal broth ramen. It's a good meal, and I didn't have any complaints, but wouldn't necessarily go running back either. I know my friends have also enjoyed their miso soup and salad as cheap appetizers, and their minecraft roll. I think this is your average, middle of the road Sushi and stir fry restaurant. The service is okay, not stellar, and the prices are on the steeper end as with any sushi place. But it works, and the menu is really big so you'll definitely find something you like.
Place was quiet on a Sunday evening. Wait staff were nice, food was quick and delicious. No complaints.
Outstanding! New ownership and outstanding waitstaff! Food was delicious. This may be our new regular spot. We had pho and spiced ramen. Sushi excellent too!
I come to Nashville every few weeks for work or leisure, and I have started a habit of stopping at Sushi 88. They have great outdoor seating and the ambiance is very stress free and calming. The service has always been good, with no complaints at all. They even will modify the dishes if you have an allergy or simply don't like onions in your rice. The food itself was some of the best fried rice I think I've ever had, it tasted authentically Japanese, and two of my friends thoroughly agreed. Not to mention how clean and well made everything was, even the bathrooms were extremely clean! My favorite time to eat there is in the summer rains. Sitting on their front porch with a tea and some fried rice is a very calming experience. Not to mention Dragon Park is right down the road from it! My only complaint lies with the city of Nashville and the traffic and parking to get there, but sushi 88 can't change that!
This place earned five stars. The staff welcomed me with smiles as I walk in unannounced for a take out order. The gentleman greeted me with a menu. Ordered the Spicy Crawfish Roll and Shrimp Mei Fun, I would go here weekly.
Sushi is alright here, you get what you pay. However, one thing I commend this restaurant for is being able to recognize what trash looks like. I came here with my cheating ex bf, and they put a staple in his soup. The only reason why I took one star off is because unfortunately, he did not die from this incident and is instead very much alive.
