Places To Go: Nashville Sushi

Places to go: Nashville sushi

Five years ago, I wouldn’t touch sushi. Eating raw fish wasn’t something that I was interested in. Fortunately for me, my wife loves sushi. Over time, her love for the Japanese staple eventually rubbed off onto me. In the beginning, I would only eat rolls that included cooked shrimp and crab. This was short lived because I was laughed at by an older gentleman while I was in Tokyo. Of course, I don’t know what he was saying, but his laugh said it all. Due to this form of peer pressure, I finally tried some of the basic raw varieties. Maybe, I don’t have the most credentials to write this article, but here are my thoughts on Places to Go: Nashville Sushi.

When I take my wife on a date night, we usually end up eating sushi. My favorite spots that I have visited are Virago, Zushimaki, and Wild Ginger. Each has a different price point, but they all serve great tasting sushi.

places to go: ZushiMaki

Zushimaki is the most budget friendly of the options. Our total bill was around $35. We ate well and we had food left over. Zushimaki is located at 1031 Riverside Drive in Franklin. It is a smaller restaurant but the service was good and the food was great. I ordered the Pho Beef, Chicken Fried Rice, a Dragon Roll (with Shrimp), and an Alaska Roll. The ingredients were fresh, the food was very flavorful. Zushimaki is not your place for ambience, but it is a great option for amazing sushi on a budget.

places to go: Wild ginger

The most versatile option is Wild Ginger located at 101 Market Exchange Court in Franklin. Wild Ginger has a great array of options on the menu. You can order sushi while your companion goes for the lamb chops. The ambience is also suitable for a special occasion. At Wild Ginger, we ordered the Lamb Lollipops, Wild Ginger Fried Rice, Shanghai Noodles, Lobster Lobster Roll, and a Yum Yum Roll. I also took part in my favorite course: dessert. The key lime meringue pie with macadamia nut crust was definietly memorable. The price per dish is higher, but the dishes and ingredients are more eclectic. Wild Ginger is a great option to watch the budget and spend a special night.

places to go: virago

Our final place on the list is Virago. Virago is located in the Gulch. This restaurant is obviouly the most expensive and has the best ambience. The wife and I were celebrating so we went a litltle deeper in the pockets to include wine with the meal. The wine collection is impressive, but I also enjoyed the food very much. My most memorable item was the coconut flavored rice. I’m not sure if this is a regular menu item, but it was delicious. This is suprising for me, because coconut isn’t one of my favorite ingredients. With that said, I still start to salivate everytime I think about it. The rice is unforgettable, but so was the Crisy Brussels, Kayne Prime Roll, and Godzilla Roll. Virago is definitely worth the visit if you are ready to open the pocket books.

Arrive In Style

Each restaurant offers a unique experience with great food. I highly recommend all three of these venues. We also recommend renting one of our exotic cars such as our Audi R8 to enhance the experience. An amazing vehicle and great food provide the perfect back drop for a night out.

Rented their 488 while I was in Nashville. The car had brand new Continental ExtremeContacts tires and well maintained. They have a great selection of cars. I had a wonderful experience and will surely visit them again next time I’m in Nashville.Something to note though is that the address on the Uber app brought me to a location out In Franklin but they are actually in the downtown Nashville area for future renters.

Excellent business, these guys have a great selection of cars and make the process very easy. I came to Nashville for the BTC conference, rented the Ferrari 488 GTB, the car was immaculate. No problems whatsoever. The host was very responsive and even allowed me to extend my rental and swap cars for the second half of my trip. It started raining real bad on my last day so he let me take the G63 AMG. 5 star device and 5 star cars. I own an exotic rental business in LA so I am very accustom to what is required to run these businesses properly and it’s very nice to see someone running an exotic rental business the right way here in Nashville. Thanks again. Will return business when I come back.

I have done business with several exotic car rental companies in Miami and Atlanta. And believe me when I say Dream Toy Garage is far better than any company that I've dealt with. First off the Ferrari 488 I rented was in pristine condition inside and out! The gentleman who bought the car to me was very informative in teaching me everything I needed to know about the vehicle to insure my safety and enjoyment. As well as the safety of the vehicle. Also most other companies only allow you 100 miles daily. Dream Toy Garage gives you 150 miles a day!! So you get more bang for your hard earned money! Needless to say that I will be back, as I have already booked the green Huracan for this upcoming Labor Day weekend! If you are looking to drive an exotic car. And do business with a local company that is courteous, and professional and really cares about giving you the most affordable exotic car rental experience ever. Then look no further than Dream Toy Garage!

I messaged Dream Toy Garage to rent a Lamborghini. They interviewed me on the phone, we set up my insurance to ensure i was covered. Dream garage spoke with me to get the suprise rented for my wife, i knew nothing about lamborguini's. Dream garage delivered the car to us in nashville at the hotel, trained us how to drive it, what to look for, how to navigate coming in and out of parking lots and so on. I fiquered it would be a car with a bunch of miles and some dents and scrapes typical to a rental, completely opposite!!! This was a 2022 Lamborghini huracan. Im hoping i spelled that correct. 20,000 miles, perfect car, 580 hp!!! We had so much fun, we went to the gibson outlet to look at guitars and security followed me around, if they only knew i was a dumb plumber from indiana!!! We drove down Broadway and had more photos taken of us by more strangers than my wedding day, funny because this was our 25th anniversary.I will definetely do it again. So much fun to feel like a baller for one day!! Its the real deal!

Wow, what an exhilarating experience! I rented the Amazing Corvette C8 from Dream Toy Garage and it was an absolute blast from start to finish. From the moment I stepped into their showroom, I was greeted with friendly faces and a palpable sense of excitement. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their cars, making the whole process seamless and enjoyable.As for the Corvette C8 itself, it was a dream to drive. Sleek, powerful, and meticulously maintained, it handled like a dream on the open road. Every moment behind the wheel was pure joy.I can't recommend Dream Toy Garage enough for anyone looking to add some excitement to their life. Their impressive selection of high-performance vehicles combined with their top-notch customer service make them the go-to destination for any car enthusiast. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!"

Such an amazing experience booking with Dream Toy! I was in a crunch of finding a getaway car within the Nashville area, and DTG had multiple options and were so accommodating and professional. HIGHLY recommend!!

Courtney Thompson

17:11 06 Mar 24

So I had booked the Ferrari 488 for my birthday weekend as it's always been a dream of mine to drive one of those cars. Well unfortunately the check engine light came on and he was not able to let me take it out. Well... with the given circumstances I felt extremely accommodated and taken care of... he was able to let me take the green Huracan out and made sure I still had a phenomenal experience. I was a little bit on the fence about the price of it at first, but after the experience I had... it was so so worth it. Cannot recommend this enough.

We are so excited to be renting a 2023 Corvette from Cornell at Dream Toy Garage. We talked to him personally and he took the time to not only explain the rental process, talk about the vehicle, but he also shared some family and personal background which was very assuring and outright friendly.We are renting the car for a homecoming event at APSU. My wife is a former homecoming queen and the university has invited former winners back for this event. So, she can ride in style and beauty- just like she deserves because she is still beautiful, stylish, and as fun loving as ever.We will make another post after the event with pics. Im sure there will be lots of smiles.After the rental—Wow!!! What a ride! The Corvette convertible was great! This whole experience was fantastic. The staff and owner are exceptional. I would definitely use them again.

Dream Toy Garage captured everything that we wanted for my daughters homecoming event. The vehicle that they allowed us to rent out was truly spectacular and we couldn’t have asked for a better vehicle to crown her homecoming queen. The company was very interactive and allowed us plenty of time to obtain the vehicle, and they were very professional. The vehicle was clean and ready to go as soon as we picked it up. We highly recommend Dream Toy Garage!

What a great experience! My son and I rented the C8 Corvette and had a great time. Cornell was so nice, personable and accommodating, he made the entire process simple and easy.

Again, a great experience and will recommend him and his company every chance we get!

I rented the Lambo for a surprise for my son. He has always dreamed and talks nonstop about Lambos. So when he figured out he wasn’t dreaming that we did actually have it for the day, he told me over and over again, Thanks Dad you are the best dad ever. And for a 17 year old to say that it was clear, I hit a home run! Haha. But none of this would have been possible without Cornell and Isaac. They were so professional and even provided routes to drive the car to make the day even better since we were from out of town. Car was perfectly detailed, very clean and very well kept. No complaints whatsoever. We will definitely be going back soon, and thanks again for making this Dad the best Dad ever! He hasn’t quit talking about it since!

Couldn’t ask for more, especially that the owner personally delivered the car on a holiday weekend with along with his kids helping out!

Cornell has great communication and fantastic cars, a good friend and I flew into town and he managed to meet us first thing in the morning and get us each into the Porsche and the R8 that we drove to the Tail of the Dragon and enjoyed driving there for three days. We met up with a group of friends that all had a bunch of Audis that have been doing this drive for 9 years. A great time was had by all and I will definitely be visiting Cornell and the Dream Toy Garage again.
