I stopped here on a whim and had the best meal of the weekend. Pho, udon and, sushi. If you are in Nashville and craving sushi, this week s the a great hidden gem.
Huge sushi selection, fantastic pho with a family recipe broth. We have been consistently happy each time we've dined here. Super friendly owner and staff.
In Nashville for work and have been craving for some Pho this night. I also wanted to watch some of the NCAA tournament and called ahead to make sure they had a TV to view which they had. I have to say that this place was our 2nd choice only because the first location we chose for Pho did not have TV on even though they had 2 TV's , anyhow that lead to choosing Hai's Sushi & Pho.To be honest, I was skeptical because it was located in a strip mall. As it was our first time visiting they have 3 doors and took us a bit to figure out the entry is by the sushi bar. They have seating at the Sushi bar( which is great because you can watch them create the sushi you order), a few tables by the Sushi bar and another room with tables set up.Started off with freshly breaded calamari, which I thought was really good, but you have to like the tentacle portions so if you are more accustomed to the bread rings don't expect that. Ordered some sashimi with a variety of cuts of fish which melted in your mouth. The cuts were very fresh and tender. We also ordered a plate of nigiri , that was so good that I ordered another plate. Then I ordered a bowl of Pho, which was the reason I was out. So far this has to be the best Pho I had in Nashville, I can't say it's the best in general because "Mom" makes the best at home ?. It was so delicious, you know it's good when all you need to add is heat, the spicy level of how hot you want the Pho, the broth they make was on point. We sat by a few regulars through out the night. We were out on a Friday night so they were open til 10pm, which was a plus.The staff was very nice and friendly. There were people coming in 10mins to 10 and they kept serving Sushi even after they put everything in the Sushi bar away. Now that is the kind of service I like to see, but maybe because they were regulars? Either way they didn't turn down service or rushed anyone to leave.I thought personally that the food was worth the price point. You can spend $6-$16 on Sushi, it all depends what you are getting and how many pcs. You can get their specials up on the chalkboard or order off the menu. Pho was around $9(more if you add your choice of protein about $5 more). I thought their price points were reasonable. Im not sure if people think it should be cheaper than that on Sushi.I definitely recommend this place to try! I'll be returning again if I have a chance and in town.

We love Hai's! Good pricing for sushi and pho, always fresh, they can make modifications on certain things. Very hardworking staff!I love getting the hu tieu as is or substituted with beef broth.
We ordered a mix of appetizers, sushi, drunken noodles, and chicken teriyaki. Oh, and boba tea (both the milk and taro were delicious)! The service was good and we enjoyed all of the food. Sushi is expensive so plan accordingly when you visit!
The food was tasty and beautifully presented. Everyone enjoyed their food that included Chicken fried rice, a Dragon Roll and the Vermicelli bowl. The only draw back was they appeared understaffed to serve us in the dining room. We had to wait to order and to get our check - likely the whole work force deficit.... we would go again.
My daughter and I stopped here on our way back to Mississippi and had a wonderful lunch. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed chatting with the owner. Very nice
We had a party of 10 and they seated us quickly. However I don't think they are staffed well enough to handle such a large party, or a huge crowd in general. It took a while for them to place their orders, even longer to get it. Establishment was a bit warm, so were the beers. My wife and I ordered way too much, mostly me. Luckily I told them to bring out the order as soon as it was ready instead of waiting for everyone's food to be ready at once. Thank goodness because it would have been over an hour and a half which is how long it took for the last dish to come out.Edamame - 0/10. This came out the quickest and was cold.Chicken satay - 4/10. Wasn't overly impressed.Sushi Rolls - 6/10. Mango Paradis was good. Not so much the Double Shrimp.Hot and Sour Soup - 1/10. Wouldn't recommend and didn't come with a side order of rice.Pho - 2/10. I ordered the deluxe which came out to $16 (woah) and wasn't very flavorful.Pork Rice Plate - 2/10. We ended up taking this to go. Had it the same night and the pork chop was not marinated very well.
I hate having to leave bad reviews but I would honestly never go here again. I paid $25 for steak and shrimp teriyaki expecting something along the line of what you would get from a Hibachi lunch place and was disappointed to get luke-warm flank steak with undercooked shrimp and vegetables. We also ordered calamari and the vandy roll and found both overcooked and flavorless. Could be a bad roll of the dice but not sure it would ever be any better.
