“Everything I’ve tried here is good and I’ve tried most of the menu. Their yellow curry is one of my all time comfort foods. Their sushi and hibachi are also really good. Their service is great. The staff is young but the staff that have been there a while are awesome and really take care of you. I’ve moved away and I still crave this place.“

“Our favorite place to eat.... Moved over 2 hours away from Memphis but when we are in town close to 5 PM we make it a point to eat here. This has always been our 'go to' place for special occasions.“

“The most amazing sushi in Memphis area. So lucky to have found a fresh sushi place. Everything we have had was wonderful. Wonderful owners.“

“There was a disruption with the terminal at the register and the servers were so nice! They apologized a lot and gave another dish as a sorry for their mistake. I wasn’t originally very offended, as this happens a lot, but it touched me to see how much they tried to fix their mistake. Love this place! Always have adored the food!“

“Ordered take out last night! The food is amazing the portion size was crazy good! We will have leftovers for days!! Thank you so much Lynn!!“

“I dine here from time to time with my family, and it’s always a pleasant experience. The service is consistently great—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food never disappoints—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared every time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliably excellent meal and atmosphere.“

“I love coming here. Kristy and her team always make us feel special. The food is amazing! We love Chef Poncho for making Sushi! He have us right every time. We eat here twice a month. We come for the atmosphere and the good food! The music is always on point! Excellent Service!“

“I wish I had more opportunities to visit Ryu. Very happy to see it reopen.“

“Steak teriyaki bentu box. An extra California roll. Very good and always really fresh. The restaurant is always clean also. No weird smells. Thanks a lot 😊

Parking: Parking lot is large and parking is always available

Kid-friendliness: Very nice inside. Good place for kids to experience sushi 🍣.“

“Kirby location: They BURNT my rice :( Usually the rice is great. But this time I literally smelled burnt food when I walked in and my rice tasted like the bottom of the skillet and had black specks on it. If I wasn’t starving, I woulda took it back in for a remake…very disappointed. Im a regular customer. I probably go once or twice a month now. I gave em 4 stars because the food is usually on point. I feel like they keep pans of premade rice and meat then heat it up soon as they get an order. I like Sake Vs Tekila much better. I will give them another try tho.“

“Regarding the food, some are very delicious but other times it lacks a little more flavor, with respect to the service it is more or less since it is very difficult to communicate with the people who serve and with respect to the atmosphere I think it would be more pleasant if the tables and chairs were organized and not accumulated on one side.“

“The BEST in town! Sushi Jimmi is a master and he never disappoints. Always fresh, always amazing. Thanks Jimmi!“

“Sumo has some of the best sushi that I have tasted! Not to mention the hibachi is amazing! Fast friendly service and you can also order online. Give them a try!“

“I really was craving seafood boil! I had no clue that Tokyo grill on Summer had them! 10/10 very delicious one pound of shrimp comes with broccoli, 1 egg, potato and corn. I ask for the corn to be replaced for a potato and let me tell you once I got home I really enjoyed it the flavor was on point. 👌🏻“

“So honestly we enjoy Sekisui Midtown. Only our second time going. First time had 4 amazing roles between the two of us. Tonight we went and wanted to try something different than our first time. And while we did not care for one of the roles, which happens, I was disappointed in a specific order for the Alaskan role. The menu calls for blue crab, and what we got was a karb stick. Now I don’t mind paying for a karb stick but I don’t like being given karb when blue crab is on the menu. I asked the waitress when she came over what was in the role and she correctly pointed out that it was a karb stick. I informed her that was not what then menu calls for. She offered to discount that role. When the check arrived she took 20% off that individual role. So we paid $9 for a karb stick. This is a swindle. If I hadn’t asked they would have passed off blue crab at karb prices. They should have simple come and said we are out of blue crab but can substitute it for XXX would you still like that. We will give them another try, but I will be more careful when the food is delivered to make sure we are getting what we ordered. Suggest you do the same.“

“The plain facade on the front of the building holds a delicious surprise when you walk into the door. As you walk closer to the cash register the Amazing aromas come from the very talented cooks. Freshly cooked ingredients are made to order with care and time. The food had a delicate balance of flavors which can be tasted by taste buds. The prices are reasonable. Sorry people, I didn't take pictures.“

“Love this place !! Best sushi in Bartlett hands down .. the fresh raw sushi is prepared on the spot and delicious!! I ALWAYS get the tuna nigiri and yellow tail hand roll !! Clean flavor and plated nicely.. also you have e to try the fried rice , made to order every time and add the side of garlic butter to make it perfect!!“
