Japanese izakaya with ramen, sushi & craft cocktails
"Inspired by Japanese ramen houses and casual izakayas, this hip East Nashville pub with a charming patio focuses on hot snacks and noodle bowls plus a deep selection of cocktails, sake, shochu, and Japanese whiskeys, alongside tea and mocktails. Even better: Two Ten Jack also serves some of the city’s best sushi, from pristine scallop sashimi and Hawaiian butterfish nigiri to the playful hand roll bowls that put you in charge of building your own rolls using various sashimi, rice, and nori." - Kellie Walton
"As Nashville's first izakaya restaurant, Two Ten Jack (it's named after a Japanese card game) kind of blew everybody's minds when it first opened. The East Nashville spot was opened by Patrick Burke, a restaurant owner who has some experience in this space, as he's also behind The Green Pheasant, which opened in November. The thing to order is definitely chef Jessica Benefield’s homemade ramen, which is so fresh and delicious that they actually won't let you take it home as leftovers. "
"Izakaya and ramen house Two Ten Jack offers a few different ramen variations with a number of add-ons for customization. Pork broth-based tonkotsu ramen is the most popular, with stewed pork (chashu), bamboo shoots, mushrooms, garlic, and a soft egg." - Kristy Lucero
"As chef/owner of Two Ten Jack, I’ve been left feeling stunned, numb and frozen in time by the toll this year has taken on the hospitality community; on a smaller scale that’s shown up in bizarre little things—like realizing I have 11 different kinds of cream cheese in my fridge. I’m grateful for therapy that keeps me connected to how destructive this has been mentally and emotionally, and I look forward to a time when we can finally see and hug each other again. I expect some culture vultures will snap up cheap rents, but I trust our hospitality community and regulars to push that wave out—Nashville’s spirit is too prideful to let that go." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"Nashville’s firstborn izakaya is open for takeout from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Order online crowd-favorite garlic noodles, gyoza, cocktails, and even ramen (something they’ve never served to-go before)." - Delia Jo Ramsey
