My quest for the best sushi in the Nashville area actually was born after a visit to a small spot in the Kroger shopping center on Franklin Road in Brentwood. It was there that I became a sushi devotee instead of one who refused to indulge.
Peter’s Sushi, among the various restaurants that greet you when you go beyond the Chick-Fil-A, serves high-quality sushi.
For many years, I refused to eat sushi. I simply didn’t like it, until I let my guard down at Peter’s. I have been a customer ever since.
Peter’s is open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m. -2:30 p.m. and then reopens from 5-10 p.m.
The restaurant feels tight when it is busy, but the size of the crowd never affects the quality of service.
Don’t be surprised if you see a celebrity dining with you. Many celebrities favor Peter’s, and head shots and autographs of various actors, musicians and other famous people cover the walls as evidence of their being there.
The last time I visited Peter’s, I saw country music group Little Big Town.
Peter’s makes the most common rolls, and their specialty rolls offer a variety of seafood and sauces.
The California roll contains only crab so it is a safe choice if you don’t want to be adventurous. The basic composition of avocado and crab meat has a very distinct, but mild taste. The price for basic rolls vary yet are reasonable.
To accompany your sushi, the regular wasabi and soy sauce are good, but I typically use spicy mayo. Also, Peter’s serves the best eel sauce, and I recommend that you try a roll or two in that sauce.
Considering price, atmosphere, location and menu, I give Peter’s four rolls out of five.
