I really think Ru San's is the best sushi place in the southeast, hands down! There is no other restaurant where you can get such good food at such a low price! My wife and I just went there twice this weekend...

I have eaten at Rusan's for my third and final time. The service here is inexcusably slow. The waitstaff is rude and sluggish. The food is fine, but not nearly spectacular enough to make up for everything...

Listen here y'all-- Rusan's is great value, but it's definitely red state sushi. The lunch buffet is phenomenal value, but why is everything fried? Those wanting to lay off the frying oil might prefer...

A co-worker and I have officially adopted Ru San's as our Friday lunch special! We have decided that we are going to go there @ least once a week for their wonderful lunch sushi buffet! We ate sooo much...

I am a sushi addict and Ru San's is my favorite place in Nashville! The staff is energetic and the sushi is super fresh. The lunch buffet is awesome - under 9 bucks for all you can eat sashimi, all nigiri,...

I love this place. The fish is fresh, the service is spectacular and the menu is extensive. They offer something for everyone, cooked or raw. The sushi chefs are some of the hardest-working and most creative...

One of the few restaurants that I frequent regularly. I try to go about once a week. Also a good value, great food, and fun atmosphere. Only once have we waited very long for food (On valentines day) and if...

After having pleasantly visited the Ru San's in Atlanta, I was happy to see one open up in The Gulch. If you are accustomed to the Koto, Shintomi, or Samurai scene, you may be a bit taken by Ru San's...

RuSan's is definately the best sushi I have had in Nashville. Great upbeat atmosphere. The service is good and the food is out of this world. Very inexpensive for sushi. Lunch buffet is the best way to sample...

Well, we're not in California/Hawaii/Japan, so within our limited choices I totally recommend RuSan's. For the best service and freshest sashimi in an upscale/quiet setting, go to Goten or Shintomi. For...

Forget that "other" sushi place: you know the one where you could always count on good sushi, but as of late, bad ratings by the restaurant critics, too? After joining two of my friends for a quick lunch at Ru...

This place is definitely not like the other sushi restaurants in Nashville. Upon entering you are hit with the fast paced buzz of urban techno mix and the hip cosmopolitan design of the restaurant. The menu is...

After moving to Nashville from Atlanta, I was never able to fill the void that leaving RuSan's had left. Finally, they have decided to open up a RuSan's here, and I think Nashville will love it. If nothing...

plenty of locals were surprised the first time they visited this boisterous, techno-bumping, sake-bombing atlanta import. admittedly, itis not what nashville diners expect from a japanese restaurant---but,...
