I thoroughly enjoy Watanabe for the service and the food. I always order panoply of sushi. I usually order too much, but I like having my own personal buffet. Their fish is top shelf! It’s the only sushi restaurant in Nashville that has real crab and Copper River Salmon. Even the more expensive sushi houses in town don’t offer real crab on their menu, and that automatically warrants a “B” review for them. I’ve indulged in some delicious daily specials – shrimp wontons with mango sauce to duck breast with cabbage in a red wine sauce. The drinks are amazing, with as much flare as Patterson House. The bartenders know how to make any drink you can think of; plus all the classics. They make their own syrups and also have an excellent sake selection. I’ve always had excellent service at Watanabe, and the bartenders are the friendliest in town.
just wanted to comment. i started eating at kien jiang yrs ago and when ms saigon opened i went back and forth between the two. my fave is pork vermicilli and the fresh spring rolls. personally, i like mine the best, but preparation is time consuming.
having chosen ms saigon a while back because they have many vegetables, mint and lean pork, alas, they were tonite. tried kj again. fatty pork, no bean sprouts, and almost no mint.
love saigon, and they have recently totally renovated their interior............beutiful and warm.!!!!!!!!

Re: “August Moon [Closed]”
I am sorry the previous reviewer had such a bad experience, but we like August Moon. It's not phenomenal, but it's good. One of our favorites is the pork with black bean sauce. We get take-out from there a few times a month.
