Nomzilla! sushi et cetera

Have eaten here and also ordered delivery. Food is always fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is casual and comfortable.

Fast service, attentive and easy going. Would eat here again for sure. The sushi roll was a concoction of my own and it looked so good, I forgot to take a picture. But the gyoza was spot and quick to the table.

Wish I could give it 6 stars. Clean, incredible food, great service, reasonable prices. Overheard a bartender (who is awesome btw) saying that an old sushi chef came in for dinner. That's the best sign the place is good. If your ex employees come back to eat, you know the food is good.

I enjoyed my experience at Nomzilla. Their menu is original and creative. We visited for lunch and they had music playing. I will say the decor made me a lil nervous as it could use an upgrade. For example, many of the booths had material peeling. Don’t let that turn you away- the food and service were a hit. We have dumpling and egg rolls. The filling could have packed a bit more flavor but the crunch on both was INSANE. Extra cool points because they have a chicken roll. My husband has a seafood allergy which keeps me from enjoying sushi as often as I like - problem solved. Food was banging and we’ll be back. Lobster roll for the win

Please please please save your money and DO NOT order from here. We ordered $85 worth of food that's an absolute JOKE. Sushi is dry and of poor quality, the wings are "Korean" aka jug sauce with maybe gochujang in it?, the ramen is just hard boiled eggs with poorly cut scallions and the saddest pork I've ever seen, and the worst of all? The crunchy cabbage roll. I've ordered this roll for years, especially when I was vegetarian and vegan. I LOVED this roll. Now? Sad, soggy, poorly rolled, and a chewy pre-fried tofu. It used to have everything in the roll and it was CRUNCHY. DO NOT EAT OR ORDER FROM HERE

I've been to this restaurant frequently. They are nice and helpful on the dishes. Generous with their portions. I'd recommend you try their sushi rolls, fried rice, and ramen at least once.

Got chicken fried rice. The chicken was dry and hard with no seasoning or flavor. And the chicken was cut very thin. It didn't even equal a tender of chicken. The rice was amazing. But couldn't eat the chicken. The server didn't come ask how the food was nor ask if we wanted refills.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I absolutely love Nomzilla. Their revamped menu is amazing and they’ve even added back old favorites! The vegan ramen is so GOOD. It’s light and fresh, just like you’d expect from traditional ramen. They even offer gluten free noodles (which are just normal, friendly rice noodles)!!! Last night I had their fried rice which I literally could not stop eating. 😳 The staff is so nice and the place, overall is comfortable, cozy and clean. They use stainless steel chopsticks and sustainable to go boxes. Nomzilla has my heart. 💖🦖

I was craving sushi and vino with a chill vibe and Nomzilla hit the spot. The atmosphere was cool, laid-back East Nashville energy -- perfect for a solo to unwind The sushi? Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I tried the Fuji Roll and it was perfect. Not too heavy on the rice, just the right kick of spice. You can tell they take pride in quality ingredients and it was priced right. Let's talk about the Ginger Salad. It was super fresh and delicious. The mango and avocado was perfect together. Get the salad. Decent wine selection. I paired my sushi with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc that cut through the richness of the fish just right. I was expecting Happy Hour options as this page laid out Happy Hour deals that my pocket would've appreciated. Service: Friendly and fast, which was expected as I was the only person in the restaurant at 6pm. Overall, Nomzilla is one of those sushi spots that feels unpretentious but still delivers high quality. Perfect for when you want great sushi, good wine, and an easygoing vibe without the downtown chaos but don't expect HH options despite HH details on the page.

Ordered takeout. Upon entering I was greeted pleasantly which was appreciated as you don't always get that in Nashville. Their shrimp fried rice was fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. Also tried one of their sushi rolls which I can't remember the name of but it was delicious as well. This will be a go-to spot now!

Really love that they have marked vegetarian options! (I believe most are vegan as well, but I would encourage you to double check) We ordered DoorDash so I can only speak to the food in this review. I ordered the cucumber avocado roll and the vegan ramen. The cucumber avocado roll was what you would expect. Vegan ramen- I would not get it again. Broth lacked flavor. The noodles used were rice noodles instead of the vegan ramen noodles I would expect. Others in my party ordered the cabbage roll which I heard was good, one of the burritos which also got good reviews, the creamy chicken ramen which was fine, and the double salmon roll which I guess was not what they were expecting from a double salmon roll. Our groups overall review is that it is a good place, but not every dish on the menu is excellent.

Incredible food and super fresh! We were a little hesitant because there was only one table on a Saturday night but definitely top sushi place in east Nashville. We got the creamy chicken ramen, chicken fried rice, vegetable dragon roll and we can't wait to come back

Double salmon roll and ginger salad are unreal!!!! The price range is perfect and always super quick!

This sushi restaurant had great staff. I was considering giving it a 3 1/2 stars, but it deserves the four mainly for the experience I did like the fried rice and the sushi was good as well. We had gotten the California roll. I will say if you are wishing for a sweeter or more flavorful sushi, I wouldn't go for that option, but they had many different specialties that you can choose from. I do recommend for a light Japanese meal.

One of my favorite sushi spots! They have an amazing deal where you get a starter and the chef special sushi for about $20 and the sushi is huge . Customer service is always good and the restaurant is in the heart of east Nashville , so the area is nice but also still laid back .

It doesn't look like much from the outside but the sushi and the ramen was delicious! Hardly any parking in front, but once you are inside you will be glad you came. We got a few rolls (notably the hamachi, very good) and also the spicy ramen (which was like DANG, that's tasty). The service was fast and friendly, and we felt taken care of. I would bring my friends here.

Amazing sushi! We showed up 8:26pm and the host sat us and told us we still had time to order and enjoy our sushi. We ordered as soon as we sat and got 4 rolls. They came out quickly and they were pretty big. Really enjoyed the service and the food.

Too many reviews say the sushi is good. I will tell you 1) a roll is not true sushi, and 2) this was extremely underwhelming even for a roll. The ramen was average. I am picky having lived in japan for a year but I'm honest enough to know that I shouldn't expect flavors like the homeland. However, the noodles made me feel like yelling "dishonor on you and your family" across the kitchen but I'm a better person than that. So instead, I came to yelp to leave this review. Overall, the broth is great. The meat AMAZING! But the noodles the noodles

I absolutely love this restaurant. The sushi is so good. They've changed up their menu, so I was a bit disappointed they no longer offer the Korean wings, but the Vietnamese wings were tasty. I tried the crispy sushi and it did not disappoint. If you are looking for a sushi place to try while in Nashville, I'd highly recommend Nomzilla. The place is really nice and has a cool vibe.

Intriguing name and logo! We got a spicy salmon roll and their ramen. Portion sizes were fair for the price. Pretty standard sushi overall. Ramen noodles were a bit overcooked and the broth a tad too sweet. Plenty of indoor seating!

Food is amazing, we haven't found GOOD Poke ever since moving here from hawaii, everything was fresh! The service was amazing too, our waitress was very friendly to our kids, the ambiance was very relaxing, This is our new place to eat! Everything was delicious

Just moved here and was excited because it was so close to my house but this place is run down although the staff were nice. The fish wasn't fresh. Minimal choice on sashimi. They warmed the sake up in a tea warmer. I tend to give a few chances but will try other sushi places, first. New owners, so hope they UPGRADE quickly.

Nomzilla is a really Great sushi spot! It may be crowded but service is quick. The food is fresh and reasonably priced. It's a great place to come after work or with friends.

My cousin and I had lunch here recently and it was really good. There was only one waitress and she was swamped and apologized that it would be a bit before she could get to us. We did not wait too long and she got us some sodas while we waited for her to take our order. We started with the Vegetable Gyoza. Nicely fried, good flavor inside, nice dipping sauce. For my entrée, I had the Spicy Bulgogi Pork - spicy bulgogi pork, kimchi, scallions, and steamed rice with mixed vegetables. I really liked this. Good sized portion, especially since I added the mixed vegetables. A bit spicy but not overwhelming. Good flavors throughout. My cousin had the Poke rice bowl: salmon, tuna, avocado, seaweed salad. She really liked this. A good sized portion as well. Fresh fish. Overall a nice lunch even with the service starting off slow.

When I say I went to Sushi heaven I'm not lying. I guarantee you will also. The fried rice hands down the best in town! The lady that is always there is the sweetest lady you will ever meet. She makes you feel like family when you are there. I highly recommend the deep fried rolls if you are into that. You could either dine in or do takeout. I always do takeout but the ambiance in this place is amazing. Very clean and super chill vibes. Great place to go out on a date too and also a great place to take the family! Thank you all at Nomzilla! Yall gain a regular.

Great sushi options with unique rolls. Very helpful that gluten free items are designated. Staff were very nice and polite.

I had seen this restaurant during my drive and one afternoon I drove in and had a fantastic experience. The service from our server was fantastic, she was very attentive. I ordered one of the specialty rolls with a poke bowl. Their way of preparing and ingredients are first class, every bite of the vegetables was so crisp and fresh and the aioli used in the roll was the perfect touch. When exiting the restaurant, Their Parking spots are pull out to the street which is tricky to navigate but it's perhaps a user error! Will definitely come here again!

Love the gluten free sushi! So many options and it's great since my fiancé has celiac she can eat tons of things there

I had Spicy Miso and Cali fresh roll during lunch. The rolls were very refreshing and the spicy miso was good but nothing to rave about. The service was pleasant and the decor is pretty awesome! The only downfall is that it smells fishy inside...so be warned. Overall, I probably won't go back unless I'm with someone/group that wants to go.

Really delicious food and friendly service! I enjoyed a vegan bowl of ramen and had plenty leftover. The ambiance was quaint and pleasurable.

If you're a fan of ramen & sushi and you're in East Nashville go see chef and the crew at Nomzilla! I love this place and each time I go I try something new but my favorite is clearly the ramen

Pulling up to Nomzilla, which sits in a small plaza on Gallatin Avenue in East Nashville, the last thing I thought I was about to get was some tasty, well priced and delicious sushi along with a gin gimlet! To say the least, Nomzilla was super "Nommy" and an absolute pleasant surprise! In all its essence, Nomzilla is a sushi and Asian fusion restaurant that serves a variety of dishes from common Asian dishes such as fried rice, bulgogi, curry, ramen, udon and of course, sushi. Additionally, you can get things like bao buns, brussels and wings. On all areas of the menu you can get vegan and veggie options as well. And of course you can wash all this stuff down with a craft cocktail or beer. The menu is decently hefty with options, so you could visit many times and definitely never get the same thing, but I would imagine after visiting this spot a few times you would have a favorite or seven. I rolled in with a few friends after sushi and cocktails. They have around 30 different rolls to choose from in addition to sashimi and hosomaki options. I went classic and specialty for my rolls with Spicy Tuna and Baker Twins. The ST is your standard roll, the Baker Twins was a house roll and twist on shrimp tempura with the addition of cream cheese, cucumber, crab meat, spicy mayo and eel sauce. No lie, may be my new favorite roll, not only for the taste but the price, as it was $11 and the spicy tuna was only $6! Drink wise, they have a well equipped and stocked bar with spirits, a great list of house cocktails and a small list of select beers. I ended up with a gin gimlet, which I did not know I wanted or was in need of! It was $9 and worth every penny. Service was the only thing that was off here. The place was not busy and there were several servers running around, but in general it was slow. Given the current state of things, I give service a pass for the most part. While it was delayed and slow here, all the fellas were super nice and helpful when they did stop by the table. Overall, Nomzilla is a solid place and one that may just become a regular reason I hit up East Nashville more frequently in the future!

Nomzilla used to be amazing. Apparently it was recently sold to new owners. I got my usual order and it looked like cat food. I'm not a picky eater but after one bite I threw $60 worth of sushi in the trash because I really was not sure if it was safe to eat. RIP old nomzilla.

Went here because of the good reviews. It's Thursday night and restaurant was relatively busy but not full. Ordered but it took 50 minutes to get our order to the table. When it hit here we were excited as the rolls looked good. However before we got the first bite, we saw a big piece of hair. The server didn't apologize except for saying it will take another 20 minutes to replace. Manager was condescending. He offered to comp a couple of items but ended up giving a $4 discount.

It looks like the ownership changed recently. It was our first time here and we were the only people there when it opened. We are from Los Angeles and love sushi and Asian food. There were so many negative things about this experience here that we won't be coming back. - It took several minutes to get our order taken even though it was just us. - The hot tea came out tepid when it finally got to us after 10 minutes or so of waiting. - The tea had a strange taste almost like dirty dishwater and we couldn't even drink it. - The "sushi bowl" I ordered was $20 and the sauce was only lightly drizzled on top of the rice. It was such a small serving overall that I was still hungry after finishing it. - The tonkatsu soup was inedible and also tasted off like something was wrong with the broth so much so that my husband only ate a few bites and couldn't finish it. We should have requested a refund for that but we were so over it that we paid and left shortly after. - We had to ask for more water refills when our glasses had been empty for several minutes and when the server came back he only brought ONE water so we had to ask for another. At this point we were still the only two customers... Save yourself the trouble and don't come here. If you're looking for sushi, wait for one of the higher rated ones that only open in the evenings or on weekends.

Great sushi spot in East Nashville. Fresh ingredients and efficient takeout service. Recommend the chicken wings as a starter.

I really like the vibe in this place, the food was really good. A more casual dining spot. The jjajangmyun was not as sweet as I was expecting. The service was great, my cup never got hallway empty The bao buns were delicious, I got a lot of kimchi! Can't wait to come back!

Food amazing I had the nashvegas roll Kung pow bait And a salad With the passion fot

This place is gone to shit ! Used to eat here as a treat because it was so good . The new ownership has definitely cut corners with cheap ingredients and products. They are trying to make the most money they can off a name that was built on quality and good service. They fired the whole staff except for some of the service staff but the chef who was there and was putting out beautiful dishes is no longer there. I've worked in this industry and what's happening is someone with no experience in restaurants has bought it and now they think that people will not notice the low quality ingredients. Shame this was a good staple for Nashville. I give it a year before this place is closed .

I enjoy dinners here, I have been here about 4 times now. The food and service are consistent. I did give 4 star tho cause the menu is Slightly Overpriced (especially the drinks) but still a great place to eat and they do have tasty cocktails!

Very delicious sushi for a decent price! Staff was extremely friendly. If you're in East Nashville and craving some sushi, highly recommend this place!

One of my favorite places for sushi on the East side of town. The chicken bao bun is great! Normally we do pickup but the one time I ate there the service was friendly and they are quick.

Pretty decent sushi. I would not get the fire breather even if you think you do like spicy... it will make you sweat. But great service.

The kimchi ramen was REALLY good. I had the Katana sushi roll as well and it was just okay. The temperature seemed very off. It definitely wasn't supposed to be warm. The service was just bad. The waiter (from the bar) didn't speak at all (no hello, just here's some water) and rarely came over to the table. He came over three times total - once to sit water down and take order, once to bring food and the last to grab the check that I had to ask someone else for. The experience wasn't great. I've been multiple times but this one is surely the last.

Super sad they aren't open for lunch but still a wonderful meal and time. However they don't serve sake which is a bummer..but the sushi was on point and you get basically two rolls for one.

We came for dinner and had the kappuru otherwise known as a meal for two. We added a roll because we were hungry. What a deal! You get two soups, two salads and two chef's choice rolls for $38. Add on the extra roll and still it is an amazing deal. You should come if you like sushi because it's fantastic. Also, the service was excellent!

Solid sushi find in Nashville! I got the sexy roll which was delicious, also got the bulgogi bao, and miso soup which were also yummy. Cool, chill ambiance. Went here on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy - party of two got seated right away. The service was also solid!

Love this place! I go every time I'm in town visiting my son. The Nomzilla wings are amazing! Good people, great food. Support local small restaurants!

Some of the best ramen I've had, very flavorful! They just opened up for dine in recently so the service was a little off, I'd pass on the gyoza but definitely recommend the ramen.

The food, in of itself, was fine. However, the only thing I actually got to eat was the ginger salad. I was with a group friends and we all ordered. The waiter, looked like he was 15 years old, wrote everything down. Everyone's food started coming out except mine. My husband came later and when he ordered his food I asked him to order me the ginger salad. Both of our salads came but nothing else. I was starving. Then the waiter came back to ask if we were still waiting on something. We said, yes, our entrees. He got flustered and said the order was never put in and he asked what was it that we wanted. By this time all my friends had finished eating and I was not pleased with the service we received so I told him to forget it. And that will be my last visit to Nomzilla. I don't eat out a lot anyway but when I do I expect competent service and it was lacking at this restaurant.

My boyfriend and I have been on a mission to find some really good sushi in Nashville. Time and time again we've struck out...that is until we came across Nomzilla! We came on Friday evening around 6pm right before it really started to get too busy. Service was a bit slow...and it took a while to get water and put our orders in, but the waiter was courteous and apologetic. For an appetizer, we ordered the Burmese tofu. Not exactly what we were imagining, but it was good! My boyfriend ordered The Vegan and Futomaki rolls. I didn't try them, but according to him they were delightful. I ordered the One Night in Bangkok and the Baker Twins rolls. I thoroughly enjoyed both my rolls! They were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to order either one of them again. Can't wait to come back here and try some of their other menu items!!

I normally get Chinese from Hunan down the road but i forgot it was Sunday and I was already there so I found this place just down the road for some Asian food. I read the owners story prior to ordering and I was really excited about the concept. I ordered beef bulgogi which tasted nothing like it. It was more like beef and broccoli. For over $14 I expected more, both in terms of the flavor profile as well as the portion. The portion was small, more like a lunch special portion at other places. I read some other reviews it seems like the portion size is a problem for a lot of people. It's so sad because I really wanted to like and support this place. I will stick to my Hunan express down the road in the future.

Food: the last time I dined here, both the menu selection and the food was superlative. The menu has changed (as they do) and the updated menu doesn't offer as many items that interest me. I ordered sushi, and I think the fish was probably good, but I couldn't tell because the rice and nori were dry, and it was only 6:30 pm - the early part of dinner service. My dining companion's sashimi was beautiful and she said it was delicious. Service is stellar. Ambience - I am distracted by the way the building abuts with the parking lot because headlights and traffic are always on my mind. Suggestion: get your sashimi fix here!

I don't post here, but I feel compelled to say this: The downfall of Nomzilla makes me so sad. I was a regular of the original restaurant--when I say I spent $100 or more there a week I'm not exaggerating. As a celiac it was one of the few places I felt truly safe (the staff was amazing) and as a sushi lover the quality was always top notch. The new ownership changed all of that. Not only can they no longer accommodate celiac safely, but the quality of the fish in the sushi is below grocery store sushi. I hate to lose a beloved part of my week but I won't ever eat there again. The new ownership should have seen what kept the loyal customers coming back for and done their best to keep those things. Instead they changed everything, including suppliers, making for low quality food that is no longer safe for celiac or appealing to the devoted vegan customers who loved the place. What a loss for our community!

My favorite takeout spot for me in Greenwood. Bao tacos are great. Prices aren't too bad either (all things considered) . And I find the food comes out quickly on top of it all

Nomzilla! spicy tuna roll was actually spicy (too often they are not spicy at other restaurants)! Woot woot!

I came in to get some to go sushi. The waiter, Nicolas (I think) was fantastic. He didn't bother too much but was very attentive and personable. Additionally, he recommended the "Sexy" sushi, so I ordered that and a side of fried rice. When I got home the to go food was so good and the sushi was amazing. I wish I had taken a photo because it was visually appealing as well. However, I ate it so quick and am writing this very pleased. I will most definitely return and cannot wait to be back!
