The Best Lunches in Nashville

"Lunch is the only option at this East Nashville spot that serves exceptional Japanese comfort food. Owners (and husband-and-wife team) Brian Lea and Leina Horii have created a cozy, personalized dining room in which to enjoy their menu of small plates like onigiri with snow crab or egg salad on homemade milk bread; try larger plates like a warming Japanese curry with gravy or spicy miso ramen. Japanese breakfast is served on the weekend, a classic combo of miso-marinated fish with sides, rice, and a salad dressed with carrot-ginger dressing — a recipe borrowed from Horii’s sushi chef father. The always-present wait for a small number of tables can be daunting, so get your party on the digital waitlist (available via QR code at the host stand) ASAP." - Ellen Fort
