There isn't much open on Sunday night in Franklin so we were originally disappointed to have to settle for Noodle bowls. However, that quickly changed once we got our food. Tasty, plentiful, and served with a smile. It wasn't what we expected but glad we had a chance to try it.

I only went to this restaurant once. The sushi was the typical fare and nothing special while still very good. The reason I have not been back is because I find the prices considerably higher than comparable restaurants with similar menus. This restaurant is very close to my residence, however I drive approximately 5 additional miles to go to a similar restaurant with much better prices.

Came in for a sushi fix. Fish is very fresh and reasonable. I ordered a Bento box and got and a healthy portion of tempura as well as soup and salad. Not the best sushi Iâve had but pretty darn good for Tennessee

Zushimaki is now Sunset. And allegedly itâs the highest rated sushi place in Franklin??? Oh my goodness Franklinites! You apparently have very low standards for sushi.This experience was simply not good. You enter a dark, aging restaurant, not the romantic kind of dark, the creepy kind. Tables are covered with the debris of customers who have recently left, probably because theyâre short staffed and canât keep up with cleaning tables. Itâs a thankless job that I did for years, so they have my sympathy.Crab wontons: I just fried some crab wontons for my family a few nights ago and they were fantastic. But ... not so much at Sunset. They should taste like crab, or at least imitation crab for economic purposes, but I couldnât find any hint of crab here. The mixture should not be a soggy mess of runny cream cheese. Probably the worst wontons in Middle TN.Nigiri: This is the only place Iâve had eel nigiri that was NOT enjoyable. The shrimp was acceptable but the crab was not. Itâs pretty hard to mess up Nigiri. Not good. It even fell apart when we picked it up with our chopsticks, so something is off here. Apparently the customers giving these high ratings have never had good sushi, the kind available in Nashville, or even better in L.A. or Tokyo. I mean this isnât even remotely close to that level, even by Tennessee standards.Panang: I love beef panang curry, and the sauce here was actually pretty good. But the sticky rice and the veggies altogether with the sauce were just not up to par. I couldnât even finish my meal, the first panang Iâve ever failed to finish.The staff was very nice and welcoming and worked hard to keep up with customers. But getting a refill of water was impossible, not pleasant when youâre eating panang at the highest heat level! $20 per person for our family meal for epically bad food? No thanks!

It's been awhile since we have eaten here. We made the drive for their delicious sushi today. It was exactly what we expected. Our favorites are the volcano roll, crazy horse roll- both fried rolls, the spicy tuna and sweet potato roll. The wonton soup is good. If you don't like sushi, the chicken yakisoba is a good alternative.

My husband and I took our daughter and grandson for dinner. Since they live here and it is my grandsons favorite restaurant we took them there. For the main course I ordered grouper, it was very over cooked to the point it had a crust on the bottom, my husband ordered a bison burger medium rare, it came to him well done, our grandson ordered braised short rib that was very stringy and tough, he sent that back and ordered lamb lollipops which should have been medium rare and were well done as well. Also they changed the spices on the lamb lollipops its not the coffee seasonings. All in all we were extremely disappointed in there food. We complained to the manager and she agreed the food was all over cooked. No longer recommend this restaurant.
