My evaluation of this restaurant is fair, mainly due to one poor dish and two average ones. The swordfish was terrible, leaving a lingering unpleasant aftertaste, and it was served with slightly warm, mostly undercooked vegetables. The other two entrees were just average. However, the sushi was excellent. The location is great, and most of the other restaurants nearby were busy, while Ru Sans had few customers, which may indicate something is off. As someone who visits Japan ten times a year, I had high hopes that Ru Sans would be a standout among Nashville restaurants. The waitress was polite and attentive, even offering me a 25% discount on the swordfish, which I barely touched. Unfortunat...
This was my second time dining here. I love their lunch, and enjoyed the first time I went for dinner. However I don't know where the disconnect came into play after ordering my food. I was brought my entree before my appetizers, and we had to ask where our appetizer was. My partner was brought out an eel appetizer when he ordered uni. My sushi had no flavor at all. Even with being fried....nothing. The bartender was a jerk and seem to not have the time to be bothered with us. Over all I'll choose Thai Papaya next time
The burger I ordered at the Belcourt location looked so bad and was not representative of what it said on the menu. Had to send it back, wait on my girlfriend to eat her meal then pick something up on the way home. There were only 4 people there and they still screwed it up. Amazing. It was better as the Lucky Belly. No pride in the product whatsoever. Very disappointed. Wish a manager would contact me but I doubt they will.
This was my first time trying this restaurant, i was not impressed. I ordered straight from the menu, no substitutions. Shrimp fried rice and an order of dragon roll...easy enough, but the shrimp fried rice was terrible! Even the waiter had to send it back and brought me a new order!! The dragon roll however was amazing.

We waited more than an hour and a half for shrimp fried rice and two tuna rolls, and it was hardly worth it. When I needed to use the restroom, I had to walk past an unpleasant smell, which was quite off-putting. Overall, it really put a damper on our evening!
We weng at lunch. They had lunch buffet which had a variety. If you like good quality and fresh sushi do yourself a favor and avoid. If you have to eat there stick to the cooked food. I needed Tums after eating there.
I don't eat sushi, but my friends do. Ru Sans offers a fantastic selection of cooked Japanese appetizers and entrees that I've always enjoyed. It's conveniently located near my workplace, making it easy to access.
It was great don't hit the first star or it wil give crappy review this place is awesome minus the karaoke being private party only

Never come here towards the end of the lunch buffet. They take it down early and selection is minimal.
Manager offered 30% off and some free saki. Unacceptable!
