Update: This has place has gone way down hill. They're service has been consistently bad and they have changed the ingredients on some of their dishes and it didn't work out in the dish's favor. Go back to the way things were with great food and crappy service only sometimes. Old Review: I give this place 4 stars because their food is amazing. It doesn't get 5 stars because their service is hit or miss sometimes, mostly good though. I also tried to get the Pad Thai with beef one time and they charge me an arbitrary $4 extra. Beef is cheaper than shrimp, come on guys! A- Recommendations: Make beef pad thai an option.

This is one of our favorite local places to eat. The menu is eclectic with a good variety, but I always get sushi and maybe an appetizer or tapas type dish. Their sushi is some of the best in town. My husband always gets the wasabi burger. I like to dip his french fries in the wasabi mayo! The ambiance is great, I like sitting inside or out. We like to try to go early during the school year, because this place is always packed with college kids in the evenings. This place has one of my favorite patios in town. And they serve Shock Top, so that's a bonus for me!

Place is the bomb. Best prices for the quality. The sushi pizza is epic. The crab fried rice is also amazing. If you love Asian fusion.... This place is your go-to. For rolls of sushi the prices are great but if you get the main dishes, expect higher prices 15 and up. Great service too.

I've heard plenty raving about PM as this funky, pseudo-Asian restaurant that you just HAVE to visit. So two weeks ago on a Sunday night, I did. Were were immediately seated (which I hear is rare) on the porch, which would have been okay with me but was much too cold for my wife. They close if off and add heaters in the winter, but it was pretty drafty since the door was constantly opened with people leaving and those waiting to be seated. They didn't make a big deal about us moving tables, but we did have to wait a few minutes. No biggie. After seated, to my surprise it was half-price sake night. That's a win. Also, they have half-price drafts on some night if you "like" their Facebook page. It wasn't that night but we misheard and the waitress let our friend "like" the Facebook page on her phone and honored the deal when she didn't have to. That's how you impress, restaurants. I ordered 2 sushi rolls: a Philly because it's hard to do wrong, but has the potential to be really good, and the Nashville roll because my curiosity got the best of me. The idea of fried asparagus, ham, bacon and cream cheese in a roll was... interesting. Both were mediocre. I'm aware that this is hardly a purist sushi experience, but I'm not judging it from that perspective. I just generally didn't think much of it. It tasted very generic when I was hoping for something to stand out, as all the aforementioned raving suggested. On the other hand, my wife got a veggie burger with sweet potato fries and loved it. Our friend got the same with regular fries and couldn't stop talking about the wasabi mayo. I considered giving an extra star because of how pleased they were with their meals and because our server honored a deal she didn't have to, but I think to be fair I have to rate according to my personal experience. And I felt like for the price, my sushi, however non-traditional, just fell short of my expectations. I hope to return at some point and give PM another shot. That'll probably be on another half-price sake night. If nothing else, I thoroughly enjoyed my half-price sake.

This place is a definite go-to for me. I'd go into a long, drawn out essay about everything that I love on their menu, but I'll just leave you with the veggie burger and wine Wednesday. The burger is wonderul, and can be easily tailored to be gluten free or vegan. Actually, the entire menu is very vegetarian/vegan friendly as well. Also, all bottles of wine are half price on Wednesday (at least for now). I love places that can be a wonderful venue for a night out with friends or a seemingly awkward first date, and this is one of those places.

I've been here twice in the last week and have ordered the very filling veggie burger ($9) each time. The mushrooms, onions, and other toppings really make this version stand out! Sweet potato fries and Wasbai peas make for delicious sides too! I tried out the Veggie Fritters ($5) for an appetizer and was not disappointed by these hush puppy inspired little bites. The Chinese Honey-Mustard sauce was the perfect pairing for dipping. It is very simple to eat Vegetarian/Vegan or Gluten-Free here as everything is denoted on the menu and the staff is always great when asked questions about special dietary restrictions too. This is a great spot for late night eats, happy hour, or dinner. TIP: The sushi menu and Tofu Thai Wrap are can't miss offerings too.

We were pointed in the direction of PM by a very animated (and drunk) local at a karaoke bar while we visited Nashville. He said it was a great place for food and especially late night drinks. When we finally headed over, we found it quite easily in a quaint little area with other little restaurants surrounding it. We were seated right away. At first I was excited about how "cheap" the sushi prices were then I got suspicious. Instead of ordering 3 rolls, I started with 2 to be sure I liked the sushi. I didn't. The tempura was tasteless, the presentation was boring and even the spicy mayo was blah. The raw fish tasted fine but there was something missing for me. The place is a hip little spot with colorful staff and they were nice enough but my sushi and my boyfriends PM Burger were not that great. I was disappointed that I didn't find it as good as my local friend talked it up to be. Maybe it was me. A lot of people seem to really enjoy this spot and I'm upset that I did not ...

PM is a fantastic restaurant located on Belmont. Their glass noodle pad thai is my favorite dish but I was surprised to find that their sushi is really good too. Try to sit on the porch when you go and definitely order the peanut fondue if you're with a group. Kudos to the chef for designing such a tasty menu.

PM was the first stop in the 2012 Yelp Drinks Week tour, and a good place to start. My husband joined in the fun; he has been to PM several times. I had not. We were warmly greeted by the hostess. It wasn't crowded, just enough people to make it lively. We were pleasantly surprised to find an acquaintance working the bar, so we grabbed a couple of seats there. After carefully reviewing the house specialty cocktails, I began to order a Blackberry Mojito. Sadly, mint was not in the house, so I chose the Lychee Lemonade based on a recommendation. It was good, but not all I would hope for in a lemonade-like cocktail. We had dinner plans, but decided to get a light app to accompany our beverages, and chose a favorite - edamame. It took quite a while for our small order to arrive. While it was quite fresh, and salted just right, the beans were dry. We agreed they should have been steamed just a little longer. Despite a few bumps in the road, the atmosphere was great, and I would strongly consider going back to try an entree.

PM offers delicious Asian inspired cuisine that had me at the Peking Duck spring rolls. Yum! My husband and I ventured there on a day date a couple weekends ago. We arrived absolutely starving and indulged in the Peking Duck spring rolls and the lump crab wontons for starters. They were both perfect in their delicious crispiness and filling as well. We could have probably shared one more appetizer and been satisfied, but oh no, we both ordered entrees that did not disappoint. I the San Francisco Roll and he the Spicy Thai Wrap. Both were amazing, but we were both overly stuffed by that point. I can't wait to go back again and do it all over again! The food? A+. The service? C. But the food is seriously so good, who cares about the service? Love PM no doubt.

I try keep these reviews mostly about the food, which was great, and just consider the service. There would have been one less star in this case. You would think being so close to 2 universities on a Saturday would call for more staff throughout the day, but there was not. What staff was overstressed. But, the food was excellent, and brought out as it came by our request. Similar in nature to Suzy Wong's, but with a more serious and traditional attitude. The crab wontons are great, large chunks of crab, and the sushi is fresh.

Meh. Average. I wanted it to be better, especially because it isn't cheap. The reason I would go back would be the sushi, it was slightly above average. Good service. No convenient parking when we went.

Go elsewhere for sushi. If your reservation is nonconsensual, make sure to only order cooked fish. Bad fish here had been known to give norovirus. The burger is decent? Too bad the wasabi mayo on it is weaksauce.

Went with my sisters and loved what I saw on the menu. I had the street fare beef pho. It was full of meat and noodles, smaller portion size then what I would get at a pho place but still not bad. The broth wasn't very tasty, a little bland but adding lime, siracha, and hoison sauce helped. It was okay. My sisters had the PM burger and she said it was okay. She ordered it medium well but it came out medium almost med rare. Service was not that great. They kinda get you what you order and that's it. Our server didn't really ask us if our food was good or not. Great location though.

Every time I come in here, I feel as if I must walk on eggshells around the moody, bratty staff. Why would I need to wait on the wait staff? The food is mostly crappy. Right across the street is an authentic Asian market and Thai restaurant-- go there instead. Also, be prepared to pay for what you order, whether you like the dish or not. I was told that even though I took one bite of my food and didn't like it, I would have to pay for it because "salmon is expensive". What kind of white trash place is this? The food is way too overpriced to be talking about how much the run-of-the-mill salmon costs. I really try to support local restaurants over chains, but this is ridiculous. Never going back. Please get over yourself, Nashville.

I went during Restaurant week in Nashville be only ended up ordering from their sushi menu. I like basic rolls so I tried their vegetable and PM roll, both of which were fine but nothing special. I like Koi's vegetable roll better. Their tofu lettuce wraps tasted like hash browns and were nothing special. My friends ordered the PM burger and they loved it. I tasted one and it was very good. Their steak fries and wonton chips are also tasty. My other friend really liked their Snake roll too. Our server was terrible but I won't hold that against them as my friend said their service is normally great and the Assistant Manager Chris made it up to us with a $25 gift card and seemed to be genuinely embarrassed by our inept server who I highly doubt will be around there long.

Best Sushi experience in Nashville! We've been to a couple other sushi spots but PM left us excited to come back. What made our experience incredible? First, the service. We were seated quickly, with options. Our server was attentive, engaging and intuitive. She was professional, never rushed us and kept on eye on our table while letting us enjoy our conversation. This was the attitude of all the staff we interacted with. Smaller things, table was cleared after our meal, extra wasabi was brought as soon as we asked for it and server welcomed our questions. Second, menu. The prices were fair, including their more unique creations, our sushi rolls were $4, $5 and $9. We luckily dined during 2 for 1 well drinks happy hour, where no corners were cut (drinks were not watered down, which can be typical for these types of happy hour). The food was delicious, overall. We were less than thrilled with the PM roll, but more because of our personal taste vs. the quality of the it. However, the San Francisco roll was great! The reasons we didn't give it five stars: our table did not have any direct lighting. As the sun set, the lack of lighting became obvious and a little distracting. The room itself seemed a little disjointed, placement of tables and chairs seemed unintentional which messy (NOT dirty, just messy). We've only been there once but plan to come back soon.

Very very good. I was impressed. As a die hard fan of another popular sushi restaurant (that shall remain nameless), I can say that I will definitely be back. The San Francisco roll was great!!!

I don't really go to PM by choice. I'm frequently disappointed by the food- it's not quite asian enough to get those fresh tangy flavors I'm used to, but it's not american either. It's one of those fusion places that just doesn't get the balance right. The flavors in the meats and veggies are just toned down and too sweet compared to true asian cuisine. I had a sushi pizza once and that was just strange. Cheese should be used very sparingly or not at all in asian food. One way or another, Arnold, please choose! Otherwise, I will just stick to my fave thai sushi places around town.

OK so in my last review I think I was a little harsh. I had a great time at PM the other night (and remembered how I have so many times before). Last Saturday we had a group of 14 looking to celebrate. The guest of honor requested PM, but they don't take reservations, so we were a little nervous. I called ahead about an hour before we were set to meet there and the woman on the phone said that while they had a second group of 14 set to arrive 30 minutes before us, they could try to save us two tables next to each other - one for 6 and one for 8. Being a place that doesn't do reservations and being that it was a Saturday night and being that we were a gibungo group, I was really impressed that they took all of this in stride. The food was great that night and I remembered why we keep going back. That being said, I am sticking with 4 instead of bumping PM up to 5 this time around because our waitress was a bit...um...sour. She wasn't very attentive or friendly and a friend had an issue with requesting a salad as an appetizer but never getting it. And another friend not getting the correct drink. We still all had a great time!

Best veggie burger I've ever had. Good tap selection at the bar and our waiter was incredibly helpful and nice. If I lived in Nashville I would definitely go back again.

I have been here twice, but I don't know if I'll be back again. The first time I went, I got the San Francisco roll and some salmon nigiri. Both were very fresh and delicious, and the salmon was melt-in-your mouth good. However, the service was not up to par. Our waiter was rather unfriendly and only came to our table twice after we received the food - once to ask how it was and fill up our water glasses, and a second time to give us our check. There was also a hostess wearing boots with huge heels, and every time she walked past our table, she made a loud clicking sound with them that was almost comical - she sounded like a Clydesdale horse! The second time around, I ordered sushi again, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first time. We had another hipster asshole waiter who didn't flash us one smile and barely paid attention to us. Like, aren't you working for tips, dude? I don't know if it was us (we're a gay couple and very far from the usual trendy folks who frequent the restaurant) and he was discriminating, or the whole "aloof waiter" is an actual thing. I dunno, no one there seems to actually care about their job - they're all just flirting and talking with each other the entire time. The ONLY reason I'll probably go back is because sometimes I just really want late-night sushi. :(

PM has a wasabi mayo burger. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Nashville! PM is a standby for us. I like sushi, my mantoy does not. Does PM offer good, not the best, but good sushi, yes indeedy! The spicy tuna is almost too spicy, but I still keep ordering it. The mantoy gets the burger and it's delish, I've tasted it. Yummo. I never get the entrees because eh, the pad thai is a little pricey. Hey with International Market across the street, do I need PM's $17 pad thai? No. I do get the small plates and tom kha soup and I am always satisfied. The service has been great, the drinks refreshing, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic and the atmosphere a-ok. The decor is definitely a reflection of the fusion. As for the vegans, there are options but it's not great, salad, edamame, wasabi peas, sides, etc. There isn't a traditional entree. I am excited to try A-Myint's newest vegan venture at the farmer's market. (FYI, I was vegan, now not, but still eat it.) So all in all, I am never disappointed but I do tend to order the same things. Take that for what it's worth.

PM is always a go to place for my boyfriend and I as we work in the restaurant industry and by the time we get off work everything else is closed. Our favorite dish is the lump crab fried rice, which is big enough to share and SO delicious! I also love that they have vegetarian dumplings! Food-wise PM is a 5 but I rated a 4 only because typically when we eat there service is slow and waiters aren't the most attentive. But overall we love it!

Rachel P.

This location is great, we sat outside on their porch because it was a lovely day and just enjoyed all the action going on around us. Good beer selection, sushi was decent and my friends split a burger they thought was delicious. When we left we noticed 80% of the people eating were having a burger so it must be one of the specialities. The staff was wonderful, very attentive and super sweet. Loved it!

Let me start by saying that I have been a big fan of PM for many years. I've been going here since I moved to Nashville in 2005. Tonight I had the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. Service was slow, but food was tasty as usual. While clearing our dishes the waitress spilled a full ramiken of soy sauce all over my brand new leather coat (literally my first time wearing it) and my friend's gray wool coat. She apologized but didn't offer to comp the bill or send the manager over. After we asked to speak to the manager he came over. I believe his name is Pyro, but I might have heard him wrong. He didn't offer to comp our meals or pay for dry cleaning. He apologized and asked what we wanted. After asking for dry cleaning to be paid for or at least comp'd meals, he agreed only to comp the meals. The waitress then returned to the table with a third friend's bill that we were previously going to pay for because it was her birthday and said that they couldn't comp her food because it was only the two of us who got spilled on. This horrendous customer service is ridiculous. I am not usually one to complain but I was shocked at how badly we were treated. I won't be returning to PM for a long long time, if at all.

Birthday dinner tonight was an adventure. The food was great but the service was horrible. It started with us waiting at the table with menus for about 15 minutes and NOONE acknowledged us until we asked if someone could take our drink/meal orders. Our table of four each ordered salads or sushi and then our meals. One salad came and we had to ask for the other one. The sushi was sitting on the counter while many servers looked at it but didn't bother to do anything. So we get one salad and sushi at the same time as our meal. When we said something to the not very helpful manager he proceeded to tell us "well most of the time sushi comes out with the meal".... Usually salads and sushi comes before the meal. We saw our server about three time and had to stop/ask for him two of those times. Probably our last visit to PM and really hate that because the food is really good! I just cannot overlook that bad service and non interested management.

Per usual, PM was delicious! Their sushi is sooo great, their Pad Thai omelets are out of this world and the atmosphere is very fun and inviting. Definitely a place to check out if you love Asian cuisine!

With a great location and an even cooler vibe inside, I wanted to like PM a lot more than I did. The menu items all seemed interesting, but I didn't feel like the food really delivered up to its expectations. My friend and I ordered a few shared plates. We got the coconut calamari, the peking duck spring rolls, pork ribs, and some sushi. I thought the sushi was fresh, but nothing extraordinary. The calamari was good, but a little on the greasy side. The spring rolls seemed a little overcooked and overpriced. The pork ribs were probably my favorite. They had a lot of flavor, and the meat easily fell off the bone. While the servers/greeters seemed nice and friendly, I found the service, overall, to be a little slow. I don't think I've ruled this place out yet though. I'll likely give it another try, and see if my mind can be changed. :)

PM is one of my favorite little places to eat in Nashville, esp if it is later at night. PM is located right outside Belmont University so it is a major hang out of college students. My favorite type of places to eat at are ethnic food places, especially fusion food!! (Side note: go to Dallas and eat at Stephan Pyles Restaurant. This just might be my favorite restaurant in the world. He is a big pioneer of the fusion food movement 30 years ago.) PM is a fusion food place. What I like about PM is it's style. PM is located in an early 20th century house. The tables are small but comfortable. They have an outside porch that is great during warm weather months. Their coffee is outstanding so this is a good place to go if you want to meet up with people and sip java. To be totally honest their sushi is very, very average. What I mean is forgettable. Don't bother with the sushi here. What you need to order and the reason why this place gets 5 stars is because of their veggie burger. Ohmylawdinheaven. It doesn't matter if veggie burgers aren't your thing. This veggie burger is like nothing you have ever put in your mouth. When you order it ask for sauteed mushrooms and onions. Ridiculous. Oh and another reason why I like PM is that they have steak fries. Very few restaurants have steak fries because the are more expensive. PM's menu has a lot of variety and most everything on it is good save for the sushi. They have a lot of gluten free options too which is awesome.

Michelle P.

PM is consistent. The sushi at one point was really great but it hasn't been so good lately. The burger is GREAT! I try to stick with the appetizers which are portioned well and moderately priced. The drinks are stiff and always good. My advice is to pick the right time to go. They have added more space but for some reason all the college kids being their entire families that come to visit on the most busy weekend days. I am a local now so I try as much to avoid a heavy college crowd but I make my way over that way from time to time.

Went here with a few friends for a birthday dinner a little while back, and had an outstanding experience. Even with a largish group, they were able to seat us quickly without a reservation. Oh - and on Wednesdays they have half price bottles of wine, always a nice bonus. For starters, our group had BBQ Tempura Pickles, Potstickers, and a Seaweed Salad. The Potstickers and Seaweed Salad were great, but no different from what you'd find in a typical Asian restaurant. The Tempura Pickles were different and amazing though! They were spicy and came with spicy mayo, and it was a nice twist on a traditional southern comfort food. We shared several sushi rolls - I don't remember all of them, but I know we got the Rainbow, Snake, Dragon, and some others. The Snake was the real standout of the group. It was all terrific though, and we were seated right next to the sushi chefs and got to see them make it all. It's been the best sushi I've had so far living in Nashville (although I still haven't been to see the sushi nazi in downtown). For dessert, we shared brownie bites that were dipped in tempura batter and fried, then topped with powdered sugar. Wow, talk about sugar overload. It was tasty, but a little bit much. Overall, a great restaurant, with good service, and the price is definitely reasonable. I would recommend.

College area, college slop for food. This spot was super popular only because it was the only place within a 10 mile radius that had people of the same age as clientele. Terrible food, microwaved potstickers. Over priced ice-filled bevis and really slow service. *Suggestion: Across the street there is an asian market, but what you need to make your own Pan-asian treats and make it at home.

Michelle H.

Really, the sushi is just okay to me . . . haven't had anything here that has stood out above the rest. But, the burgers...all of them, even the chicken and veggie burger, are phenomenal. The buns are toasted, the patties are marinated in this delicious sauce, they have the perfect proportions and the fries (which are also tasty) come with a side of wasabi mayo. YUM. I also like the vibe of the place and have had excellent service every time I've been here.

I'm new to sushi, but my girlfriend insisted that this place would convert me to a sushi lover. I always hate to say when she is right....but well, she was. Came a little before the evening rush and were served really quickly. The food: Potstickers, Nashville Roll and Florida Roll. All good choices. I am definetly a fan now and will most likely be a frequent visitor.

Andrea R.

Cute neighborhood adjacent to Belmont. Nice covered patio area in the front to enjoy the warm weather. Service was fine, very friendly. We had the crab wontons, which were just okay for me - like deep fried crab pierogies. The sushi was edible, that's about it. Seriously, I've had better sushi in West Virginia, and that's not just one of my crappy jokes. I will say that if you are someone who "looooooves sushi" but has never eaten an actual sushi roll in your life, you will find the menu adequate, as there are plenty of deep fried rolls, and rolls containing only cooked meat. The Nashville even has ham, bacon, cream cheese and asparagus in it. I doubt I'll be back of my own choice - too many other places to explore.

Daniel P.

A generous two stars. Chick Fil-A has better sandwiches than what you'll get here. I don't see the point in an Asian food place keeping late hours if you can't get sushi after 10pm. Anyway I figured I couldn't go wrong, what with all the good reviews being yelped. The waiter was friendly, the atmosphere relaxed. Paid three bucks for a cup of coffee that never got refilled, and when I asked for a refill, my response from the waiter was "We just ran out of that coffee" while handing me my check. Apparently making more coffee for their customers here is not part of the deal. So one star for atmosphere, and one for courtesy. Much to be desired in the way of service, quality, and selection IMHO. I guess I'm not as lucky as the other reviewers.

Great service and tasty food made our PM experience very enjoyable. Our server Kaitlin was an absolute doll. She gave very honest and helpful recommendations, and she was very fun to talk to ! We ordered the gyoza dumplings and mee krob chicken bites to start, followed by the spicy tuna and eels rolls. Everything was very fresh, not overly salted or anything. We left with a pleasant satiated feeling, not greasy or heavy. And the price was reasonable. The aforementioned plus a 9oz sake came to less than $40. I will definitely return !

If i could give it zero stars I would. The "steamed" pork roll, which came in a nice little dim sum container was MICROWAVED. The container had no traces of steaming, while the pork roll had a boiling hot center and a oddly hard and squishy dough that was room temperature. Additionally, the pork center was pea sized compared to the inedible dough surrounding it. The "pint" draft of Kirin Ichiban i ordered was only filled to about 12 oz. and was WARM! The shrimp tempura roll was mostly rice with a tiny, tiny piece of cold shrimp tempura that was definitely cooked earlier in the night. The amount of tuna in the spicy tuna roll was dwarfed by the cucumber next to it, while all of the contents were less than the rice surrounding it. This was by far the worst sushi i have had in my life. When we told the waitress about these problems, she apologized yet gave us the full check. I would have had a far better quality meal at taco bell! Ridiculous.

Sonia S.

Overall I liked this place a lot. I had the green curry mussels, which were an interesting combination. It was good, but not as good as I had hoped it would be. My friend had the burger, which I had a bite of (of course) and it was pretty delicious. The meat was cooked just right, it was juicy and well seasoned. I would recommend ordering this. We also split the duck spring rolls, which I didn't think were anything to write home about. Wish I had tried those sweet potato fries - if I end up back here, I definitely will. I enjoyed the outdoor patio and dining, but the place felt a bit like somewhere to see and be seen, but it could have just been the crowd that night.

Jeremy E.

This place is schizophrenic. I have had anywhere from 2-4.5 star meals here. The sushi is really hit or miss. When it's on, it is great. When it's off, it's just adequate. Burger is outstanding. Peanut Chicken Penang is also very good. Service is always terrible but for whatever reason, I don't mind it here as much as I do other places. Worth a go for sure.

1. Explore the sake and cocktail list. I do like me some of that Sho Chiku Bai. They've got some interesting high-gravity beers, but the cocktails are where it's at. 2. Don't bother with the sushi. It tastes fine, but when the nearest salty drink is 450 miles away, why mess with it? Go to Seattle or San Francisco, all right? 3. It's true what they say about the sweet potato fries. 4. The burger, much ballyhooed before the Great Nashville Beef Awakening blossomed a couple years ago, will disappoint you.

Kamm M.

Do you tire of people wanting to call Brown's Diner the best burger in Nashville? Sentimental taste buds, y'all. Just because you got to see Nancy Griffith stumble in? Or Rotiers? Puh-leeze. A grease ball between stale buns... Then there's PM, that crazy joint that serves sushi and burgers. The San Francisco Roll is worthy- just add a little hot sauce. The burger is the best in Nashville, maybe America. Perfectly cooked and served with a healthy salad or sweet potato fries- nothing better. And they're open late!
(5)
Simon K.

They've got a great burger that'll get you in the door and wanna come back. The rest of the menu doesn't have the same appeal. The sushi is edible... I'm trying not to be brutal or overly harsh. It's a club scene restaurant. The kinda place that loud young obnoxious kids love. The menu is priced according to the crowd that it brings in, and not priced by the value of the ingredients or overhead costs. A lot of students with rich parents love coming to this place. And if I were the owner, I would love to take their money too. College students determine the food they like as if they had a rubber eraser as a tongue. So if you can make the food look beautiful, then they will believe that it tastes beautiful... and don't forget that the dish has to have a really fancy description. You only need 3 taste buds to enjoy the food here: Sweet, Salty, and Fatty.

Maybe I'll update this review when I get better service. How long does it take to get a coke on an OK-busy Sunday? 15 minutes. I love the San Francisco, Florida, and Spider roll though, those are definitely my favorite in that order! Be sure to order some Sweet Potato Fries as well. Yum! The patio is a great place to sit if you're okay with smokers. Our waiter wasn't attentive whatsoever, nor did he ever ask us any questions or gave us a chance to ask hIm any question. OH! isn't it funny how two tables that came in after us received their sushi before us? He obviously didn't put in our order before he put their's in. Not cool.

Things I love about PM (and I think you will too).... -The cocktail menu is creative & tasty. Try something new and you won't be dissapointed -The zesty ginger dressing would make cardboard taste good. -You can bring your dog with you (on the patio only of course). They even have a dog bowl for watering your pooch. -The Crab Wontons are unparrelled. They are the absolute best I've ever had. The only suggestion I would make is maaaaaaybe nice happy hour special with a few small plates items at a stightly cheaper price? That would rock.

I am a big PM fan. I first visited PM years ago on a weekend visit to Nashville. Arnold was working in the kitchen and whipped up his first gluten free dish for me to enjoy... and it was awesome! I was hooked from that moment on. Then months later we dined here again and he added "gluten free" distinction to the menu (along with marking the vegetarian dishes). They even have tamari/gluten free soy sauce on hand for the sushi. My only complaint is they don't have gluten free beer available. I've enjoyed the edamame, the pad thai, and the peanut chicken penang. All were fabulous. The patio is great, and the inside is not too shabby, either.

Lalie K.

I must admit i do indeed enjoy the food at PM. The vegetarian options really do shine through. The thai nachos, tofu wrap, tofu fondue, vegi burger and many of the sushi rolls have satisfied me on numerous occasions... as well as those delightful sweet potato fries, yum.... my only (small) gripe about this lovely little joint located right in the belmont area, is there is often a painful wait for a table and sometimes the servers lack a bit of what one would call people skills....none of this bothers me enough to ignore the delicious eats though. PM, I will see you soon!

TL;DR - don't eat the sushi, get the burger. Read on for more... This place is situated in a really nice location in a great building. Huge patio, cozy indoor area with exposed brick and a great casual atmosphere. I feel like it's great for dates and nights out with the ladies. That being said, my brother and I went here because he's the Nashville resident and I'm the nerdy amateur foodie from California. We started off with the duck egg rolls per a quick tip and they were good. I think I would have like the duck cooked in fat a bit more, but they were satisfying. Loved the sauces, especially the spicy one. It's a nice break from the sweet chili sauce usually offered with egg rolls. We also had the edamame which was just OK. I'm used to boiling them in salt water, but our serving was kind of dry with salt tossed onto them. Then I had the seaweed salad, which is a favorite of mine in korean banchan. Pretty good with the cukes providing some crunch. We ordered 3 sushi rolls and the burger. The sushi was just meh. I told my brother it was like sushi baby food. Bland with no outstanding flavors. Even the wasabi didn't have a huge punch. The burger was outstanding, though paying extra for shredded cheese is a bit odd and the cheddar wasn't as sharp as I would have liked. The meat was great. The bun perfect. The wasabi-mayo was a bit weak, but the burger is the star. I think I would have liked them to assemble it into a more organized burger, but it's still great. I had a side of the wonton chips and I think if they were rolled a bit thinner, the chips would have had a lighter taste. No sauce or condiments for them. Not even any salt. This place has a lot of potential, but maybe it was an off night? I just thought it was OK. Maybe if I didn't have any sushi it might be 4 stars, but seems it is a solid 3. Apparently a 3 with a longer than usual review from me. Note #1: I sort of cringed at the prices of the main plates, but that's because bibimbap from ktown is about $10 with a ton of banchan. Note #2: I just realized this was another restaurant owned by Arnold Myint which it now sort of makes sense since I had a similar experience at Suzy Wong's.

Andy J.

I went for some late night drinks with my girlfriend on Monday. It was just what we were looking for... something off the beaten path, but still a 'real' place to get drinks. They have great selection (including sake and locally brewed Yazoo! beers) and nightly deals/happy hours to help keep prices low. I didn't get the chance to eat the food, but if you're looking for somewhere to go out on a weeknight that won't feel empty or tacky check out PM.
(4)
Jay W.

We only ordered some starters and sake. BBQ bao bun is definitely store bought. Gyoza is the same thing, in fact, I can even name the brand of gyoza PM uses. It can be bought in local Korean supermarket easily. IMHO, it's a big no-no to serve packaged food in restaurant. Do NOT plan to go back there.

PM is one of the special places that warms your heart. I had a most delightful experience on Saturday night. The girls and I headed to PM for dinner during the bachelorette festivities. This time I mixed it up and ordered the Alaska roll as well as the Spicy Tuna. What a perfect balance of neutral and spicy! It was like the Alaska and Spicy Tuna were made for each other in combination! The service was great and the men didn't mind taking pictures of our table!

PM was always our go-to place when I was in school at Belmont, since it is right across the street from campus and walking distance from my old apartment. Even though I don't live close anymore, PM is still my go-to place for killer sushi, the best in Nashville (in my opinion), and a perfect location to sit outside on their patio in the beautiful Nashville evenings. I always love to get the California roll and yellow tail, but my boyfriend swears that the Nashville roll is the best thing ever created and that it will "change your life." PM not only offers sushi or Thai food, they also have awesome burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, nachos, salads, etc. The thing that separates their burgers from all others is the wasabi mayo that I smother all over the top and also dip my fries in. Delicious. They have recently changed their menu and got rid of the 4 bean quesadillas that I loved and several other menu items, but I forgive them. Their sushi still kicks ass. PM is a great place for lunch, dinner, a late night snack or a place to meet for drinks. Be advised that the later you go, the longer wait you'll have for a table. Going early evening is key.

PM should stand for "Party in my Mouth." But not for the sushi. Let's start with the unexpected: The place was packed and a little loud for a Wednesday, and somehow we got a table within 5-10 minutes. The waitress was friendly and helpful, but kind of a flake. She took forever to bring our drinks, and never brought one of the drinks that my friend ordered. While I don't doubt that it doesn't happen often, and I know it was busy, I think forgetting a portion of any order is careless and unacceptable. That's why they give you a pen & paper. While their food selection is incredible, I believe they have been incorrectly dubbed. I'm not sure that this place is a "sushi" restaurant. I think that is a common misconception that I would like to clear up now. From the recommendations that I've heard, everyone talks about food items that are NOT on their sushi list. I should've listened. Their sushi was fresh and fairly delicious, don't get me wrong, but I was expecting the spectacular, and it just did not deliver. Now on to the DRINKS: I had the most delicious drink! Try their cucumber gin martini. Holy party in my mouth. I wanted another one, but I'm pretty small, and it was a week night, so I refrained. Why will I go back?? To get the real experience. PM is not a sushi restaurant. It's an Asian Fusion restaurant. Let's be clear on that before you go and have the same first experience that I had. Get a burger, try one of their amazing standards with an Asian flair, and ENJOY a delicious drink. I know I will go back soon, and when I do, you will hear my update!

Went back, for lunch again. Got the burger (chosen based on Yelp review) and sweet potato fries. Burger was great. Sweet potato fries were way greesy and over cooked and undercooked in other parts. Service was friendly and timely this time. I'll give em 4 stars this time around. Parking stinks. Bring a friend to help you parallel about 2 miles away.

Came here with some coworkers while in Nashville for business. We enjoyed the shared plates and made our own "tapas". Of note, we had the following: B&B PICKLE TEMPURA GYOZA POT STICKERS LUMP CRAB WONTONS LAOTIAN SAUSAGE BITES BBQ PORK BAO BUN PEKING DUCK SPRING ROLLS Food was great and their cocktails are excellent. Would recommend for smaller groups as if school is in session, I can imagine this place becoming quite crowded.

Thomas B.

I've been going here since I first moved to Nashville back in 2006. The place has changed a lot but the food has always been amazing. They now have great drink specials almost every night of the week and an awesome cocktail list. Whether your in the mood for Sushi or a Burger with a kick, Thai or American with a Thai spin, love, love, love this place. Prices are pretty reasonable too.

As a recent graduate of Belmont, I have been to PM many times ... most recently for a late lunch last week. For some reason, I am always reluctant to go here. I think its due to the other cheaper more college friendly restaurants in the area.... that or it may be because most of the waiters usually carry a prickish-i-dont-give-a-shit vibe. However my friend wanted to get lunch so on this last visit I ordered the steamed BBQ pork bun, the curry spiced sweet potato bisque and an assortment of nigiri. The BBQ bun was unimpressive as it was made up of mainly the steamed dough with little pork filling, was NOT HOT, and the pork appeared to be undercooked. Disappointed to say the least. The nigiri was average (red snapper, octopus, scallop). I've had better elsewhere, but at least the fish was properly sliced and the nigiri balls were appropriately sized in proportion to the fish. I would have also liked some green onion with my snapper as it was a bit fishy, but our waitress appeared to be annoyed so i didn't ask. The bisque was the highlight of the meal. Just the right amount of heat! The flavor combination was right on w/ the curry & sweet potato. If I come back (which its hard to avoid since I frequent the Belmont area) it will definitely be for this bisque and a burger. In a nutshell, if your in this area and want sushi I recommend skipping PM and hitting up either Sushi Yobi (on Demonbruen) or Zumi (on Belcourt in Hillsboro Village) for some tastier and more creative sushi. However, if a friend wants to get lunch here, PM's burger is one of the best I have had.

PM has pretty good sushi and I've enjoyed every meal I've had there, but their lack of equally good service is hindering me from giving it four stars. I thought it could have been a bad night, but each time my server's always had a blasÃ© attitude. Is it better during the day or something?

I went to PM a number of times a while back, and had always been put off by the service. I thought the waiters were unreasonably rude and unhelpful. A friend of mine dragged me back there recently, though, and I LOVED it. The food is excellent, and the service was much improved, although still not spectacular. I've been back several times since then, and will continue to go, for the food, though, NOT the service.

I think their prices are kind of high, but the food is very good. The service is spotty and they charge for to-go boxes, but there is a lot of variety to their menu.Wouldn't be at the top of my list, but the food is good.

Asian Inspired Cuisine...With one of the top 5 best burgers in Nashville. :) I heart PM, and I don't know why I don't venture over more often. The patio on a lovely Spring/Summer/Fall evening is like a little slice of heaven...in Nashville. There's nothing better than relaxing on the patio with a glass of wine, good friends and...delicious food. The inside of the restaurant is fun, too - so don't fret if all of the tables are taken outside, or if the "weather outside is frightful." They just changed their menu a bit, but luckily for me, the "char grilled burger" made the cut and is still on the menu. Perhaps what makes it so good, and unique is that they put a wasabi mayo on the kaiser bun. My husband is more of a daring eater than I am, and was intrigued by the Sushi Pizza. For me, I LOVE pizza...adding raw fish on top? Not.So .Much. He tried it, and evidently, it was creative and very tasty. (Salmon, krab, masago, cucumber, avocado with melted cheese.) I just can't go there. I've had their sushi rolls, and they're decent. It's not my go-to sushi place, but it's all right. One final thing to love about this place: it's open late. Not many places in Nash cater to the late night cravings. Thank you PM.

VERY GOOD FOOD and Excellent service! If you are an older pervy stalker type, perfect location right next to a college campus. But really, good food! Fairly large portions too. I think they accept bruins bucks as well...(if you are a Belmont student) Oh and our waiter had a kick ass name - Pyro. next time visiting my college student son, i'll visit again!

I really enjoy going to PM when I have the time. The Peanut Chicken Penang is probably my favorite item on the menu. Sure, I know know red curry isn't for everybody but wow did this dish change my mind. My wife enjoys the crab wontons because they have a bit of a zing to them. It's nice to finally find a wonton that stands on its own. In fact several of the appetizers are good enough to make a mean on their own. We frequently just order two of three appetizers and share them to make a meal. Its a nice treat. The only negative thing that I have to say would be about their mixed drinks. The list is too short and although it's weird to say this, oddly enough they make them too strong.

We were recommended this place by a guy who works at pangea in the Vandy area who's vegetarian friends said the veggie burger was the best ever. My sister and I split the coconut calamari and veggie burger. The coconut calamari was good- nicely fried but not too heavily battered and the hot sauce and sweet and sour sauce were really good with it (as were the fresh onions). The veggie burger is definitely the best I've ever tried. It was covered in a kind of teriyaki sauce and the wasabi mayo paired really well with it.

Arnold Myint, as many have stated, is a contestant on this season's Top Chef. He is the owner and head chef at PM. I am going to assume that because he is filming the show that that is the reason why he is often no longer present in the restaurant. He used to be a fixture at the restaurant every night (roughly a year ago), and as he is a friend of a friend he once cooked myself and my out of town guest a soft shell crab dish that was not on the menu. It was delightful. On my most recent journey, I simply picked up sushi to-go. PM has some of the better sushi in the city, although there are a few places out on the East End that can out do PM's sushi chefs. The Florida roll was yummy in my tummy, and the Spicy Tuna roll was tuna but not-so spicy (maybe I'm just resistant to claims of hotness... or, maybe I'm just resistant to "hotness" overall... I really need to get to the gym... I digress). It was a Sunday night, but the place was still fairly busy and the patio had numerous guests upon it. I recommend PM for the interesting drink concoctions and for the food. Is it the best "Asian fusion" ever? Probably not. Does it go down smoothly with a generally nice flavor? Yep. Are the Vandy girls and Belmont girls in their summer dresses and "booty pants" fantastic? Absolutely.

I think its more a 3.5 stars, It's a good place to eat, and offers a variety of food and drinks, however it can be a little pricey for the neighboring college students. The Asian food is all right and decent, probably one of the best in the Belmont/Hillsboro Area, but it's not good enough to frequent even though I live within walking distance. The service is great and never had a bad experience here, it's just the the food can get a little pricey compared to the nearby restaurants like La Fiesta, or the International Thai Market. It does offer plenty of outdoor seating and gets crowded on Friday nights. I think if you can afford to come here for a weekend hangout with friends, you'll probably spend close to $20-30 here including tip.

I've been to PM many times, usually on a weekend night. The crab fried rice is really good. Get ready to spend some cash if you want cocktails without a happy hour deal.

Molly L.

Great food, good atmosphere. We went with a large group and it was a fun place to take a bigger group. The fried pickles and duck spring rolls were awesome and I was excited to see items like burgers and nachos at an asian fusion restaurant. The drinks were also excellent. One disappointment was the dessert menu - we sampled a few things and not much stood out.
(4)
Mandy B.

Love PM, the sushi is amazing and a fun "go out" atmosphere. Try the Florida roll, you won't regret it. The only negative is when school is in it's impossible to get a table in under 45mins on a Friday night. I prefer summer when the students are gone and you can get a nice patio table.

Being from LA, I was a little skeptical when a local recommended PM. I mean, I come from the land of Asian fusion, how good could it be? But then somebody said it was run by a Top Chef contestant so curiosity got the best of me. We started with the Peking duck spring rolls and BBQ pork bao bun (char siu bao). The spring rolls were greasy and missing something...oh yeah, the taste of duck. I'm not sure if the greasiness overpowered it but it wasn't there. It just tasted like a giant spring roll. The char siu bao was better but the filling lacked that great char siu flavor and bright red color. This one had a brown sugar color and was kind of pasty and bland. For dinner I had a couple rolls - spicy tuna (cut) and and the Godzilla (salmon, shrimp tempura, krab, cucumber). Not impressed at all. The fish was not the bright flavored, super-fresh kind that I have grown accustomed to over the years in LA. And krab with a k? C'mon, Top Chef, get the real stuff. I recommend avoiding any sushi dishes if you visit. I did try my co-worker's spaghetti pad prik pao, which is a vegetarian dish with fried tofu, cashews and basil. With a little hot sauce, this dish wasn't bad but I feel like I could have whipped this up at home on one of those nights where I just cobble something together with whatever I have in the pantry. Overall, pretty disappointing. Aside from the food, the floor was slanted, which was annoying and the a/c needed to be cranked up - it was hot and humid inside.

Sadie F.

Yum, I love this place. I have been here twice- once for dine in and once for carryout both during the weekend. The ambiance is nice I think it is a nice place to bring a group of friends for a fun sushi experience. (I love sushi). I found the staff very attentive and friendly. The prices are fairly reasonable and I would definitely recommend the seaweed salad! It is so hard to find a yummy seaweed salad so I will for sure ALWAYS order the seaweed salad while dining at PM. The spicy scallop is also very delish but SPICY! As a hardcore fan of spicy food, i even found myself scraping off some of the salsa from my rolls. Other diners in my group also tried the florida roll, crunchy shrimp and the one with salmon and cream cheese- everyone was pleased with their choices. I can't wait to go back and try other rolls! And for the record, the key to my heart is through raw fish.

Lucy M.

Great meet up/coffee spot. The atmosphere is fun and sheik, but the food can be selectively lacking. Please do not eat sushi here. It's obviously made by a kid who thought they could make it themselves, and said "oh this is easy, let's put it on the menu!" The other non-asian choices are much better. A+ for drinks and party time!

Will B.

PM is great! They have a lot of Asian fusion here. Owned by one of chefs who was on 'Top Chef'. It stays open pretty late, has a pretty varied group of customers. I had the Glass Noodle Pad Thai.... since I have a gluten allergy this was great. In fact, anybody with a gluten allergy should know they have a 'gf' beside everything on their menu that is gluten free so you don't have to feel all awkward asking for gluten free options. The amount of options is really good. The night we went we had excellent and attentive service. She was upbeat and catered quickly to our every need without being overly helpful (most restaurant goers should know what I mean). Anyways, a great restaurant if you love asian food and there are many options even if you aren't the biggest fan of asian food.

So we walked in with no reservations with a party of five on a Saturday night and was told the wait was about an hour and a half, We were desperate for sake but not quite that desperate so we told them we would have to move on. A second host came by and stopped us on the way out and told us there was back table with couches. UH perfect. We were warned as we went here for the first time to expect so-so sushi, and poor service. OK we just want some sake! we can manage we said. So we get settled, and i was a little worried about a place that serves burgers, wings, and sushi.... the idea of sushi, with fish brought in from the coast and not readily available and fresh like back home... ack... To our surprise the sushi menu was extensive, we all picked a few rolls and split them up, making the back table and couches seem that much more appropriate! The sushi was on point and delicious! And more importantly they kept the sake flowing, and they had a nice selection of sparkling sakes to boot. Some were a lot more pricey than i was use to, i guess they can get by with that here because its a trendy place. All and all the food was good, the service was great... They even let us sake bomb which i guess it is usually a no no since they don't want glasses getting broken. We were able to persuade the manager by letting him know we don't drop the glasses, we just pour the sake in to the beer directly. (you can use that tip, i can allow it this time) We will be back here for sure, its good to know we can get decent sushi out here... *sigh of relief*

Here's something new and fresh: Asian fusion. Maybe next they'll invent some sort of tiny, flavored balls of ice cream and serve them at sub-zero temperatures at water parks around the country. I'm kidding! Sort of. Okay so Asian fusion isn't exactly a novel concept, but this is a decent spot if you're looking for some reasonably priced small plates or sushi. I noticed a lot of reviewers knocking the sushi. I'll agree that it's not really "outside the box" type stuff, but how much garbage do you want in your sushi? It's not Cici's pizza. Nothing wrong with simplicity. This isn't supposed to be a 5 star restaurant. Be sure to watch out for their tricks. Wild mushroom soup is a few shitakes and the rest are quartered button mushrooms. My grandfather grew button mushrooms in a tray outside his basement in East TN. In case you hadn't heard, Appalachian basement food is not all that wild. The flavor of the soup was quite good, though, so I'm willing to look past the pedestrian fungi; it was sort of a sweet and spicy broth with lots of green onions to boot. Let's talk about the duck spring rolls with the lovely dipping sauces. I like how the spring rolls are all duck and not a bunch of filler. It was shredded duck, which I hadn't had before, but good. I have to admit it was a little drier than I'm used to. I guess that's why they offered such tasty dipping sauces. One was a BBQ type sauce (hoison base?) and the other was a spicy number. Both were very good. It's close to my house, so I'll probably be back.

I'm beginning to think that "Asian fusion" means, "take recipes that have worked for hundreds of years and make them inedible". Attempted to eat here last night: it was very crowded, had nice staff, but terrible food. Maybe I'm missing the point. Maybe this place is supposed to be a way for broke college kids to get something resembling sushi or Thai food. But I get the feeling like a great menu was put together, and somewhere along the way the kitchen forgot how to make the items on it. Husband had the thom kha soup (only okay), edemame (overcooked), and a shrimp tempura roll that had to be thoroughly inspected to find the shrimp. He got halfway through it and asked me if they had brought him a California roll on accident. I had the miso (with beef bouillon? really? thanks for the warning!), duck spring rolls (okay, with no real flavor), octopus nigiri (slices were WAY too thick), and smelt roe (the only delicious item I had). I've been told by numerous people that this was the place to go for sushi, but I was left only with disappointment. I wanted to like PM. The decor is cool and our waiter was very friendly. But the food just didn't deliver.

Julie L.

I had the bao bun appetizer, it was disappointing (dough was crumbly). I also had a couple of sushi rolls, they were ok - not bad, but nothing special either. My friends had the duck spring rolls and regular entrees (one was the pad thai omelet dish, can't remember the other). Their dishes were better than what I had (more flavorful), so if you go, skip the appetizers and sushi and order from the entree menu. The service was very good, so they get points for that.

PM is awesome. Not the cheapest but the food has always been awesome. We come here at least 2x a month. Always good. Great vegetarian and vegan options.

I have been here around 5 times, including last Saturday, and in my opinion, it continues to pass the test. First of all, I'm not a huge sushi lover, but they have so many to choose from I can usually find one that fits my taste buds. The rest of menu has other "Asian Fusion" items, and every plate that comes out looks delicious, but I usually get the burger w/ sweet potato fries. The burger is char-grilled, with great flavor, and a nice surprise coming from this type of restaurant. But, you won't find me complaining. As I mentioned in my Gabby's review, they bring out wasabi mayo and ketchup for your sweet potato fries. I mix them together for the perfect pink "special sauce." I might look like a weirdo doing this, but it goes perfect with the fries, so if you aren't afraid of something amazing, give it a try! The drink list includes the standard beer selection (yazoo, fat tire, sweetwater, bud, etc) in addition to some Asian beers. The wine list looked fine, and they have a nice selection of cocktails if you aren't looking for beer or wine. In addition to inside the restaurant, I really enjoy sitting on the front patio during the warmer months. The wait staff has been quality every time I've been here even when it seems to always have a crowd. I will continue to hit up PM for some quality time with friends.

Great place. I take a lot of dates there because the front porch is great and the food is wonderful. I've had the burger and the sushi, and both are always superb. Thanks for the good times, PM!

Roe J.

My overall experience at PM was nice. I was able to escape yet enjoy the season downpour on the large covered patio. If it weren't for the good service and atmosphere - I would have given the place 3 stars. I ordered the Coconut Calamari (pictured) and an Asian-inspired Caesar Salad. The Calamari was great, the salad was terrible; huge chunks of romaine lettuce someone couldn't help to separate, drenched in a below-par Caesar dressing (that wasn't tossed), with a few won ton pieces and edamane, all in a bowl that was too small. To avoid sounding like a prude, I gave up on the salad cause I couldn't eat it without making a mess, and it generally didn't taste good. I enjoyed the rest of my beer and the end of the rain storm. I will be back, but I'll avoid the salads.

Marty C.

Excellent array of Asian fusion food. If my friends and I cannot decide where to go, this is the place. They have everything from sushi and pad Thai to burgers and salads. From meaty to vegan and gluten free.

Daniel T.

for my money this is the best restaurant in nashville. where else can you get the best sushi and the best burger in nashville at the same spot? service is always on point and the patio has extended to fit more customers. get the dragon and winter roll with a burger!
(5)
Chris T.

While I did not have the sushi, I did have the Pad Thai and was not terribly impressed. It tasted strongly of ketchup which was new to me for pad Thai and really overpowered the dish. The small dishes were good and I look forward to returning and trying more. The staff is friendly and the service was average. When I return I will be sure to try the sushi and update this review.

Sara E.

PM is a favorite date night spot for my fiance and me. We're both huge foodies who have eaten at restaurants all over the world so it's a rarity when we both find a place we love enough to keep going back to! They have some of the best and freshest sushi in Nashville (the Snake Roll is a must try!) and imaginative Asian fare (the crab fried rice bowl comes to mind). We've been there dozens of times and have never been disappointed with our food. The service has also been wonderful. Even when the restaurant is packed and there is an immensely long wait the waiters go out of their way to make sure you like what you've ordered. Once I received a burger that was too rare and the waitress actually thanked me for telling her and giving her the opportunity to fix it. The only thing I would say is a problem with PM is the parking - when school is in session trying to find a parking spot can be like trying to find the Ark of the Covenant.

For those of you who watch Top Chef this restaurant is owned by Top Chef contestant Arnold Myint. However, do not go to this restaurant looking to meet him because he is not usually there. The restaurant was crawling with college aged kids. All the girls had on colorful summer dresses and the guys were opening their wallets buying colorful mixed drinks (that start at about $7) The decor of this place is warm and the vibes are lively as they are very trendy. Maybe not the best place for me to bring my grand parents. There is a huge variety of FOOD on the menu from chicken sandwiches and BURGERS to SUSHI/NIGIRI and PAD THAI. Also, there is whole crap load of 'small plates' including potstickers, fried calamari, crispy duck spring rolls!! and much more. The sushi was not extravagant but the food overall was pretty tasty. The food makes a return trip to this restaurant a worthy outing. Last but not least the service was extremely nice. The waiter seemed interested in any questions I had about the area (with me being out of town). He was very helpful and even drew me a small map of the area to show me where I could find surrounding bars. PRICE GUIDE Beers: (moderately priced $3.50 Abita purple haze was a pleasant surprise) Beer prices averaged at about 5 dollars for a 12 oz. brew you could go cheaper or more expensive. A very sufficient beer list for any beer lover. Mixed Drinks: A variety of martini's and fizzy fruit drinks from about $7 Wine: Tons of reds and whites from a very reasonable $6. Small Plates: $6 to $11 for tantalizing appetizer plates Sushi: Perhaps the best value on the menu, rolls cost $4 to about $12 Nigiri: about $3 to $6 for two pieces of nigiri (great selection) Entrees: from about $8 on up .. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS AS A DATE PLACE TO TAKE YOUR BAE. PM IS HIP, PM IS PRETTY LOW PRICED, PM HAS GREAT DRINKS, PM HAS GREAT SERVICE... AND IS WALKING DISTANCE FROM OTHER FUN BARS!!!!!!! IF YOU"RE IN NASHVILLE OR GOING THERE... TAKE HER OR HIM THERE

Chloe M.

Went here for dinner on Saturday night at the suggestion of my cousins who live in Nashville. I had two different sushi rolls, one was called San Francisco and I forgot the other one. (No, I didn't order the San Francisco roll just for the name. The waiter said it was one of his favorites.) I normally wouldn't expect landlocked sushi to be very good, but this was a-ok considering. Sushi was fresh and the service was attentive.
(4)
Justin H.

I have probably been to PM a dozen times and one thing I can say for it is that it's consistent. The food is always good, the service is usually friendly, and the wait is usually short (even when they are busy). I really enjoy the burgers, the Sushi Pizza or the nachos. All of their sushi selections are good and relatively inexpensive. This has become one of my go-to places in Nashville simply because I can always count on it being good.

mumin k.

the only good thing about PM is their wonderful patio .. when the weather is nice, i can not resist going to PM but the food here continues to disappoint me. on my most recent visit, I had 9 piece chef's choice sashimi and my sashimi did not have a bit of a taste. My review is actually prompted by my upset stomach following my 9 pc sashimi earlier tonight. So the only reason I give PM 2 stars is because of their patio. I will continue to go here but only to have wine in their wonderful patio. No more sushi/food here.

Dude wearing a crumpled shirt and jeans, sleeves buttoned up and a crooked tie as if he just got out from work, but actually was exactly how he intended to dress? Check. Said dude accompanied by another dude wearing jeans, a neat black coat, leather shoes, carrying a messenger bag and sporting a neatly coiffed hairstyle, oozing gayity? Check. Usher at the gate with a flaming red mop for a beard, a beard so moppy that when he talks you think he is a ventriloquist? Check. Bunch of fat and ugly chicks wearing horn-rimmed glasses accompanied by dudes in beanie caps and beards? Check. Okay, so you get the picture of the crowd? The place itself is not so bad. It's got a nice chic feel to it with the brick layout and all. The place is a vegetarian's buddy with their explicitly vegetarian offerings. It seems more like a sushi place with many other dishes added as an afterthought. The something-something-flavored fried pickle was amazing. The bowl of steamed asparagus made me feel like I was in a barn and being fed by a farmer, but it was okay. The only veggie sushi roll was nice and so was the Thai nacho chips. Though, honestly, the thai part (eggplant, cilantro, tomatoes) were buried somewhere in the middle and the rest was just good ole gooey yellow Nacho cheese and crunchy so-so nachos. The dessert, tempura fried banana split, was good too. As other reviewers mentioned, they claimed a wait time of 40 minutes and I took their bluff and waited for 10 outside before I was called in by the mop beard dude. It's a nice chill place (it's cold) and the food is good. They have a decent choice of sake and cocktails, though I would have preferred some more hard liquor.
(4)
Julia T.

I don't get the good ratings, this was among the worst Thai restaurants I've ever been to. The Pad Thai was made with the wrong noodles, and had little taste. The green curry was watery and the chicken tasted like it was cooked last week. The service was bad, had my server came back to check in on me I would have been able to get enough peanut and hot sauce to make the food bearable.
(1)
Molly N.

What isn't to love about PM? Everything about it is amazing, except perhaps the B.O. smell wafting over from the dirty skinny jean, wrinkled flannel shirt, old beanie wearing (Belmont) hipster. ( I think this B.O. wafting while dining at PM occured 3 times in a row, message to the dudes that don't shower: you're not original or a rebel by smelling like cat barf ) I can overlook the above because the food is d*mn good. The wasabi burger is to die for (get it medium rare w/ shredded cheddar and I guarantee you will be speechless) if you are a burger enthusiast. Waitstaff is also really friendly.
(5)
Rainu I.

I love this place. I spent the majority of my collegiate career eating, studying, and hanging out here with friends. Personally, I'm a fan of the cucumber and tomato salad, adding chicken. The best sushi roll is definitely the snake roll. Desserts wise, it's often a tie between the brownie tempura bites and the cheesecake. They even have loose-leaf tea for those rainy days. PM holds a place in my heart!
(5)
Tonya O.

The previous reviews were all very helpful. I tried the burger because of the high recommendations, and that was one really good burger! The server told us that the secret is a chili sauce marinade that really adds a unique flavor. The wasabi mayo is definitely worth a try, as well. Anyone can make a burger, but to make it special is what makes it great. I also ordered the sweet potato fries, and they weren't bad but not as good as I was hoping. They're thick cut and homestyle prepared with a little bit of salt. The typical review also says that the sushi isn't the best, I agree with them there. Also another item that wasn't bad but nothing spectacular, either. The plus with the sushi, however, is that there is more meat than rice fillers. The place gets very crowded, and be prepared to park and walk a bit unless you're lucky to find something close. Outdoor seating seems to be the popular way to dine.
(3)
Becca G.

I like the food at PM, I like the outdoor seating, I like the drink menu, I like the buzz of 20-somethings in the air, and I like that they scare people away with long wait times so I can get seated faster. PM is my favorite place to go on a Friday night when the weather is warm and I feel like wearing something funky and getting some solid sushi. I stick with the seaweed salad, Florida roll, and Snake roll which are super yum. I also highly recommend the burger, duck spring rolls, and the calamari. This is not the best sushi I've ever had, but the whole experience and the extensive and creative drink menu make it worth the wait. Overall I would be happy with fewer Belmont wannabe-hipsters, a larger bar/patio, and some better servers. The guy with the curly hair is awesome and has been there for years, but some of the others are more into themselves than serving you. If you have a really large crowd, are over 40, don't like to wait, have kids, and want a quiet dinner then head somewhere else. If you're young, social, like to drink and are into fusion food then come on down. PM always has a buzz around it that energizes my night and gets me going. I like the vibes.

Big B.

Overrated. Went there on a double date and ended up spending $60 per couple. We both agreed that we would not go back. 1. The Sushi was NOT good at all, and I'm not living on a coast right now. 2. Very pricey for what you get. 3. Our waitress was so-so. My overall impression is that this is a hip place to go. And people who want to be on "the scene" will put up with the mediocre and pricey food.
(2)
Susan S.

Overpriced for mediocre food, inattentive service, and small portion. I ordered a tuna salad for take away, listed online menu for $11, but when I arrived for pick up they charged me $18. It was a side salad serving size and did not have any special ingredients or unique flavors to warrant the expensive price. Not my first time at PM but certainly my last.

Elle A.

Remember that song, "Where have all the cowboys gone?" PM could do a little remix action, replacing "cowboys" with "servers". What have I got to do to get an after work libation, dog? PM has always been a regular of mine (note I still give 3 stars) but contemplating tripping a server, "dropping a glass", or perhaps pulling down my shirt to get a little table time is an experience I can leave on the waiting list. For years, I've enjoyed eating here, but friends and I have had this experience several times over the past few months. It says something that we're still going back, however. I'm going to give it one more time (kinda like a bad breakup kind of mentality... "Maybe they've changed...") and if I can't get a drink or menu up in hurrrrrr, well, there's plenty other fish in the sea. Uhhh, errr... I mean restaurants.

David O.

Went to PM for dinner. The downside to the place is that its very crowded and a bit loud. The parking, as others have mentioned is pretty rough because its all street parking. On other Yelp recommendations I ordered the Burger and I have to say I was very surprised at how good it was. The thing that sets it apart, according to our waiter is a Chili glaze they put on it. This in combination with the Wasabi Mayo was very good. My girlfriend and I tried some Sushi as well, but wasn't really impressed. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with it, it just didn't stand out as anything extraordinary. I would certainly go back for the Burger though.

Justin R.

Had the Thai Chicken Wrap this weekend and it was great. Ordered a bloody mary that I didn't really care for. Way too sweet for my tastes. I'm more of a zing zang guy! Who Dat! Can't wait for the weather to cool off where I can sit on the patio and enjoy the great outdoors.

One of those great go hang out have a few drinks and eat places. LOVE the Grilled Chicken sandwich!

Russ C.

PM is a great place to go if you aren't in a hurry but want a nice affordable meal. Their sandwiches and menu items are great. Their sushi is OK, but it's hard to find a place where you can get great sushi around here...definately not bad and the presentation is creative. My favorites is Thai Wrap (chicken or tofu), but they also have a great burger and chicken sandwich. The "entree" menu items are good, just a bit pricy. The Thai Nachos are also quite good. Beer selection is great too! Overall a great place, just don't go on a weekend night unless you plan to stay put for a while.

Will M.

Menu is the same as Suzy Wong's but located next to Belmont. Outdoor patio. Food is really good here, and I'd recommend just ordering to what sounds good to you. Everyone has their own tastes and I'm sure everything is pretty good here.

Steph H.

When the weather gets warm, you know what Nashvilleans want? A restaurant with a patio! And if the place also serves decent food and drinks? Well that's just a bonus! Thankfully, PM tics all the above boxes. I admit, I remember back in the day when it was Arnold Myint's only restaurant. Back then it was one of my favorite places in town. I loved the fresh take on Asian flavors, and its greatest appeal to me was the abundance of small plates that can easily make up a filling and well-rounded meal when eaten in combination with one another. The much lauded burger was really good (though the fries were crappy), and this was my go-to place. But. Then for some reason, service and food quality seemed to go down, and after one particularly underwhelming (and when thinking about the sushi, downright unappetizing) meal, my husband and I abandoned PM and instead devoted ourselves to Suzy Wong's. Still, the patio at PM beckoned us as the arrival of Spring enticed us with the prospect of al fresco dining. I called ahead to make sure our pups would also be welcome--which they are (the woman seemed surprised that I would even ask)--and then our little family of four headed over. We did have to wait for about 30 minutes for a table on Friday night, but that is only because we had to sit outside with our dogs. The atmosphere was lively and everyone seemed to be having a good time, except for our waitress, who was a bit surly when we were finally seated. Don't know what that was about, but her mood did improve as the night went on. She also didn't seem put off that my husband and I just wanted to share a bunch of small plates rather than order mains. What can I say except that after a one year absence on our part, the food was even better than we remembered it. The pickle chips and duck spring rolls (two of our favorites) were amazing, and the chicken peanut salad that we split was also super refreshing and tasty. Not only would we order all of these again, we're trying to think of the next chance when we can return and do so. Also, I got a gimlet of some sort, which was like the most delicious lemonade you have ever had. It may have been a tad pricey at $9 but it was so good. The thing I love about PM is that the prices really do seem reasonable given the portions and the quality of the food. The one notable exception is the sushi, which just really isn't Arnold's forte. The fish always seems hacked apart by shoddy knife work, and it's just not that tasty... Stick to the warm food options (or the salads) and you'll be a happy camper as you dine in style. Another added bonus to this place (as well as Suzy Wong's) is that there are plenty of tasty options for people on restricted diets. Not only are there tons of vegetarian friendly plates, there are also many vegan and gluten-free ones too.

While I agree with Becca about the burger....the atmosphere, the staff, and the clientele I could care less for... Let's go back to the burger for a minute...voted best burger by the Nashville Scene...and for good reason. It's not your dad's burger...think more refined flavors with a sweat chili sauce finish and wasabi mayo on the side. The sauce kind of overcooks the burger...which is almost inexcusable...I like my burgers medium and it usually comes out well done...ask for it rare and I'm sure it'll come out medium.

Possible explanations for what PM stands for: Perfect Meat. People Meet. Partially Multicultural. Pooping Monkey. Just thinking. I met a blind date here. She wasn't really blind. So maybe I should have worn pants. Hindsight = 20/20. This place is very popular with college students. I was there on a Saturday night, and it was packed. Standing room only at the bar in the front. A short wait, then we were seated. It's loud in here when it's crowded. The atmosphere is very casual, as is the wait staff. They're super friendly and helpful in choosing your dish. For the menu, it's quite a neat mix. Think international dishes with a southern flair. I've always wanted to order a "seaweed salad" or an "east meets wedge salad" (the latter includes wasabi blue cheese, bacon, red onion, and crispy noodles). I didn't want to mispronounce what I was ordering in front of my date, so I did the ole (point to the menu), "I'll try this" routine. I can't even remember what I ordered. But it was tasty. Just as fulfilling as the conversation with my blind date. Again, she wasn't really blind. She ordered some sushi. I'm told it was excellent. I regret not trying the gyozas. I shall definitely return soon to taste those suckers. All in all this is a cool place to hang out. Just don't expect it to be a relaxing experience, with the noise and crowd.

As a former Belmont University attendee, PM was the place to dine and drink...and walk back onto our zero-tolerance campus drunk (and hope to stay under the radar). Now being a big girl and able to visit Nashville on my own accord, PM is still the casual place to come back to and have a meal and a cocktail. They have a cool Asian inspired menu, with crab pot stickers (which are crabby and creamy and delicious!), thai peanut chicken wraps, and sushi sushi sushi! All the food I've ever had there was pretty tasty, as well as some of their cocktails; in particular, the chai-tini. I am a HUGE fan. But watch out, those chai-tinis might burn a hole in your pocket...3 drinks and 30 dollars later, you might be a little low on moolah. PM is almost always busy, and the servers handle it pretty well. The bartenders are friendly and will sit down with you and tell you about their tattoos. And when you're well on your way to drunk, tattoo tales are the cat's pajamas. Lemme tell ya. So if you're in Nashville and you're looking for a casual place to chill with a bunch of friends and enjoy some good times, good drinks, and good dinner, PM's your place.

Would not recommend the Sushi. I am giving this a 3 star (2 1/2 really) instead of four only because of the sushi. I have had other dishes at PM that were pretty good. I am here from time to time out of covenience and I always want to like the sushi and everytime i get it i regret it. Not fresh enough. The Indian spice sweet potato bisque is really good. I would avoid the Sushi. As for the service??? Not bad, not great. Price? My lunch today was $32 including the tip. (2 sushi rolls - nothing elaborate- a seaweed salad and a $7 glass of chenin blanc)

The burger. The AMAZING burger. I could leave my review at that and it would be all you need to know. It really is unlike any other I've ever encountered. When friends/family from out of town come to visit, they always request to go here to get a burger or chicken sandwich (also very good). All it took was one time and they were hooked. And I must also mention the fries they serve with it - the sweet potato are great, but I also like the steak fries. They ae typically fat with just the right amount of crispiness & salt. I don't eat sushi and haven't really bothered with anything else on the menu, so I can't offer a review on that. But, I can tell you that the tempura brownie donut bites are to die for (think gooey brownie wrapped in funnel cake and drizzled with caramel) and that the PM split was just a little odd... something about the flavors just did not mesh right. Good in theory, though. As for the ambience, the place is typically filled with people who looked like they fell out of a copy of Toolbag magazine, but what else would you expect so close to a college campus? It really adds to the overall quality of the place because it makes for great people watching. On a negative note though, I have been going there for about 2 years now and they STILL have the same rickety, slanted table on the right side wall of the restaurant. You have to keep an eye on your water glass or it may slide right off. And I swear, I almost always manage to be sat there. Surely to God they can afford to replace the thing... Bottom Line: THE BURGER

I have been to PM several times since I moved to the area this summer and I have never been disappointed. Their diverse menu is great if you can't seem to decide exactly what sounds good, and they have a great bar menu as well (one of only a handful of restaurants in town that carry Delirium Nocturnum). The service is usually pretty slow and not particularly attentive, but that doesn't bother me. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an enjoyable place to grab a snack and drinks.

PM is worth visiting for their diverse menu and fun eclectic atmosphere. The food is mostly very good, even the mundane sounding burger and wraps are (apparently) really tasty. I like to go with the small plates to get a sample of several things. The gyoza is extremely good. As has been mentioned before, we've experienced the service being "laughably" bad before -- but in recent months it seems to have improved. Hurray!

I decided to give this place a couple of tries before reviewing it. This is THE place to go if you're a Belmont student, although I didn't make it until two years after I graduated. The first time we went in for drinks. I got 3 shots and two mojitos and paid close to $20 bucks, maybe a little more. The shots were gumdrop or something and really good. Not really my thing for nightlife, but nice. Went to lunch here over the summer and the service was horrible. We sat on the patio, which was fantastic. I had the Angel Hair Pasta Salad (Mesclun, Veggies, Thai herbs with Peanut Sauce) and loved it. Today I went again for lunch - although we sat inside because it's arctic. I ordered the Veggie Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and hated it. I thought the burger had no taste, the bun was burnt and the fries weren't as "amazing" as everyone had promised. The service was better though, less feeling unnoticed. I think I might go back for drinks, but the parking (or lack there of) is enough to keep me away from the lunch menu.

PM is a great place to go to at really anytime of day. It's also an unusual establishment in that its the only place I know that serves both great sushi and burgers. Most places don't offer both items on their menu much less do them both well. Their sushi is some of the best priced in town and although their selection is a little limited I've yet to eat a roll there that I haven't liked. Because of its eclectic menu, PM is really a good place to go for practically any occasion. Its a great spot for lunch, its relaxed atmosphere makes it a good place to relax with some friends, but the food and decor are still nice enough to make it a great spot for a date night as well. There's a full bar that serves a few beers on tap as well as liquor, wine and sake. The staff are always friendly, even when they are busy. Parking is street only, and since PM is located down the street from Belmont University, its usually pretty limited during the day. It's located in a quieter part of town which lends a lot to its laid back atmosphere. They have some pretty good drink specials and overall have one of the better priced bars in town.

PM!... I am a big fan of their spicy spicy veggie burger and their fries.... BUT i have to say their sushi is not as good as everyone makes it out to be.. if you have ever had really good sushi (for instance in cali or texas... somewhere near the water) you will know what GOOD sushi tastes like and this is NOT it, sushi places in nashville need to learn how to correctly cook their sushi rice.. Another complaint is that they don't have normal ice tea... they have coke/water but if you want something other than alcohol there isn't much choice in that dept. I love the location and all that so i give it lots of stars... they just need to work on making their sushi truly good sushi and they'll be set (plus get some iced tea... it really doesn't take that long to brew)!

"Well you shouldn't judge a sushi place by their burgers. We should try the nachos." That's what I actually caught myself saying before ordering. Something is profoundly wrong with that, right? Not necessarily. The menu is pretty weird, kinda lacking a thesis. But the food is pretty decent, and the prices are OK. The burger was nothing to rave about, but a good burger for $7. And the "Thai Nachos" were good, if very weird. (Queso and eggplant over corn chips with Thai-flavored chicken?) They have a great space and some real ambiance, and what looks like a fun bar. Brick walls and wood floors, cool artwork. This place really has potential. It just needs to find itself.

It's alright. The food was good, but the sushi rolls were boring. I expected more from Arnold Mynt... something more along the lines of the awesome drink menu they had.

I really like this place. Great vibe; great atmosphere, great patio; great Asian food. Prices reasonable for Nashville sushi ($50 for 2 glasses of wine, edamame, and 4 rolls). My only critique is that sometimes the clientele is a little young because it's so close to Vandy and Belmont. PM is a triple threat: good food, good service, good atmosphere, good prices. Alright, that's 4 things - go eat here!!

Oh Arnold, we miss you! When you were a regular presence, the lettuce was fresh, the cucumber wasn't frozen. The sashimi didn't present as slabs of glossy flesh hacked out of a mountainside of fish, like strip mining at its worst. Where are you?! My family loves PM. We revel in the atmosphere. One of our favorite things about it is the wonderful cross-section of humanity represented here, from elderly folk who've lived in the Sterling Court Apartments forever, to young almost-hip Belmont students. But lately, it's gone awry. Perhaps it's the new menu? When first ordered a few years back, the seaweed salad was the best in town, and highly unusual - wonderfully delicate strands of seaweed sitting atop mounds of dulce and ocean greens I have yet to identify. Never greasy, always large enough for two. Now, it comes drowned in sauce - though I have to say, if ordered with the disclaimer "Please make sure it isn't drowning in sauce", most of the waitrons will drain it. Still, it's nowhere near the surprisingly fabulously huge and delicate repast we were used to. Perhaps it's the sashimi? I'm not sure who trains Arnold's sushi chefs, and I realize this is not per se a Japanese restaurant, but if you're going to serve sushi, have a bit more respect for the fish! The chirashi is great value, no argument there - enough for two, at least - but I personally would prefer not to have to cut my sashimi into thirds and fourths before it fits in my mouth. What's the point of sashimi, if not the delicacy and the enjoyment of a succulent mouthful that melts on the tongue, rather than huge pieces with gristle and fat still clinging to them, interrupting all taste sensation with overkill? Nashville has some of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the country, which begs the question - why on earth advertise "Vietnamese spring rolls" and then present these dried up wallflowers, with a sauce that plainly comes straight out of a bottle? Kien Giang at its worst could do better! The final insult? the "salad" served on the side of the fabulous Thai wrap. The wrap itself is a thing of beauty, perfectly balanced, but the "salad" that accompanies it is a disgrace. We ordered it for the third time tonight, and it was no better than the other times - the lettuce had been sitting far too long, the cucumber slices looked like they'd been frozen, and over-all, the entire thing could have used some serious attention. Patty Myint was there tonight, and I wih I'd taken the opportunity to show her my "salad" - the brown, curled lettuce edges, the barely-defrosted ice on cucumber slices. The daub of wasabi next to my sashimi, with an outside crust proving it had been sitting far too long. But to be honest, I didn't have the nerve. This woman has single-handedly re-shaped Nashville's dining - why bother her with minor details? I love PM, believe it or not. It's in my district. It's kid-friendly, and the outdoor seating is lovely. Those of you following my reviews know we used to go to Shintomi, but no more - so where to go for sashimi in the 'hood? Ginza is embarrassing, Watanabe too far. PM is the obvious solution - but oh, Arnold, how we miss you! Please come home, Arnold!! Hollywood may beckon, but Nashville needs you!!

I was a regular at PM until it was clear our family would never get to sit anywhere but next to the bathroom. Anecdotally, I hear that's the deal for patrons with kids.

Key words here are: average. ok. un-memorable. I ordered the chicken wings, which were ok. And the salmon bowl, it was ok. The ribs were better than average. Nothing really bad. Nothing really good. My suggestion is to go across the street and try out the market food there.

Let me just say this one of the wrist dining experiences I've had in Nashville. It all started from the minute we sat down. My husband and I for a early dinner. The restaurant had about 4 table sat. There was plenty of staff. We sat reviewed the menu then we continued to sit and wait and wait to be greater while the staff stood around and talked. Finally my husband waved at one of them. After another minute someone came over who looked like they just woke up. We ordered edamame and chicken on a stick. I could see the kitchen from my seat. I saw the edamame sit in the window and sit and sit. Four to five staff walked by no one brought it. Then our chicken went in the window it sat while people walked by. Then all of a sudden a food runner shows up and brings us our food. We ordered two sushi rolls a piece for dinner. We were also near the sushi bar and we saw two plates sit ready for pick up for over 15 minutes. So many staff walked by that its an embarrassment. We weren't sure it was our order. Then another runner appears out of nowhere and brings us a plate of sushi that had just been made but it wasn't ours. He goes back to the counter to see where are order is and brings us the plates that had been sitting there for ever! I was so upset that I really can't say anything nice about my meal since the sauce on top of the rolls had soaked all the rice at this point. Everything tasted watery. The worst part was the bill. It was $70 dollars because we had some drinks. I know I should have complained but it wasn't worth it. I never saw anyone that looked like a manager. I will not go back!!!!!

Best burger I have had in a long time! I had the standard PM burger and my brother let me have some of his snake sushi roll. Both were really good. My burger came with wonton chips and they were really good. 9 bucks for a burger isn't that bad. I'll go back if I ever go back to Nashville.

I agree with the general synopsis that PM is mostly flash and little substance, but I thought I would make a case for the three best features of the place (not including the lovely patio which is an obvious one). First of all, PM is one of the few places in town with a bartender who knows what I'm talking about when I order a Sidecar. It's my favorite drink, but I've gotten so tired of the confused looks by supposed professionals (brandy, triple sec, lemon juice - it's a classic, people!) that I usually settle for a whiskey sour (which should always be shaken - why do I have to tell you that too?). Secondly, the sweet potatoes are phenomenal. It's hard to find places that serve sweet potatoes at all, much less in thick, delicious pieces like these. They're salted and simple and served with a tasty dip. Third, PM offers an interesting selection of specialty drinks that can't be found at a lot of bars in their price range. Try the lychee martini if you get a chance.

As far as price, quality and service, this is my favorite sushi bar on the west side of town. I have tried other things on the menu but usually stick with the sushi. Great for lunch or dinner!

I've been mixed on PM for years, for a number of reasons which I'll get to shortly. However, I went again tonight and had to give it 4 stars (was thinking about 2 originally). Reasons I love PM: --It's on Belmont...which means, close to home, easily accessible, great people watching --In the spring and summer, they have 2 great patios--one out front, and a smaller deck on the side. Full food service on both. --They serve locally brewed Yazoo beer. Also have a full bar. --Food is pretty decent. I got the Thai Spicy Wrap tonight (with steak) and it was light and tasty! Sushi is worth a try too--not the best I've had in town, but far from the worst! --Easy to get together with friends and talk--it's not too loud, just casual hanging out. Reasons to not like PM: --Service is pretty terrible. But, on the positive side of service, all the waiters/waitresses are really nice. Just too laid back--not very attentive, and they have ALWAYS (including tonight) gotten my order wrong. Or forgotten something I ordered. Or overcharged my card (always check that--it's happened to me on a few occasions!) --Parking can be tough--really just anywhere on the street you can find, and depending on the day and time, that can be nearly impossible (it's right next to Belmont student center). If you decide to make it to PM, just don't expect stellar service and you should be fine!

black flies and sushi are a bad combination but good location, good pricing, and good sushi. The flies are all over the patio and are a long term issue.

PM is in one of the best locations in Nashville, right across the street from Belmont University and next to Bongo Java. It's an adorable little spot to meet up with your friends for a drink and some appetizers. The sushi is pretty good, nothing out of this world, but better than most spots in Nashville. The drinks are creative and well made, although not cheap. Hit it up during happy hour, and you'll be happier about it all. It can get pretty crowded at night, especially in the summer when the decks are pleasant.

I got two rolls: crunch shrimp and the nashville. The crunchy shrimp was 'aight and although the Nashville was certainly original--I'm not sure there was any special taste--it was in a word: bland. Ambiance was nice...if a bit frou frou. Prices range from $2-6 for apps and small plates to about $8 for sandwiches to the $20 range for some dishes. Generally in the $8-$12 range for food alone...depending on how much you spend on sushi rolls. We received pretty decent service and the waiter was quite nice. I give this place a 4.45 I'm looking to forward to coming back for happy hour to check it out again...

Food is great, beer selection is above average. Unfortunately the furniture makes you feel like you're in a chintzy, cheap restaurant. Very basic, borderline ugly tables and chairs. The half booths in the middle with ugly black pleather with exposed staples. The atmosphere doesn't do the menu justice.

Matthew S.

GREAT VIBE! Seriously, the vibe alone gives this place a fourth star. I love that they have small plates as well. It is like an Asian inspired tapas menu. Speaking of the menu, it is really very good, but far from exceptional. The prices are high, but not outrageous. The drinks are mixed well. I was pleasantly surprised with both my calamari and tofu being cooked perfectly. They so often go wrong. While I love the concept of outdoor eating, doing it here is difficult. There were a half a million flies all around this place. I don't know where they all come from, but they will not leave you alone while you are trying to eat. We all had to take turns eating our food so that one person could be flailing their arms wildly about the table to try and discourage the flies from enjoying our meal as much as we were trying to do. This would have bumped the star rating down to three but it wasn't their fault and we chose to sit outside. I would say the outside area is better to get drinks, but save the food for when you are on the inside. It is also right next to Bongo Java, which makes a great place to go after a nice meal.

Shana K.

I can't help but love this place. I've tried to hate it, especially when the service sucks (at a certain point it becomes laughably bad). So why the five stars? I never fail to get good food and as a pseudo-vegetarian this place gives me plenty of non-meaty choices. The Glass Noodle Pad Thai is delectable. The Thai wrap (with my choice of tofu) always satisfies as long as I remember that the chips are too salty and order a substitute. Recently, I tried the Angel Hair Salad and was delighted with the spicy goodness and the portion size. I've never had bad sushi there (slow, yes..bad, no). The Florida roll with it's combination of creamy avocado, crunchy shrimp and spicy mayo is so yummy sometimes I'll order two. Sometimes I'll even share. I totally dig the vibe of this place, especially now that it's a non-smoking venue. The covered porch is lively. Great for a mid-afternoon meal, as long as you don't mind the abbreviated lunch menu (no Pad Thai or Florida roll on it..doesn't seem fair, does it?) If only they could be as consistent with the service as they are with the food....

PM's is a great tasting Asian Fusion restaurant that's known primarily for it's sushi and it's fun dinner atmosphere, but there's a particular part of the day where the deals are at their best. Two words: Lunch special. You get to choose between two different sushi rolls, where I usually go with my usual California and Spicy Tuna, and you get eight of each! On top of that you get a salad and miso soup for a grand total of nine dollars. I mean, seriously, I can't think of a better offer. The fruit tea is excellent, so I'd recommend that as far as drinks go, and if it's dinner time, grab the snake roll. If it's warm out, use the patio, it's a great seating area. Especially if you get a table along the side, it offers some privacy if you're the only ones back there. If you don't feel like eating in, or out at PMs, you can call in your order and go pick it up. I don't know if many people know that or not, but it's pretty great for those nights you just want your sushi at home.

PM has been witness to many debaucherous evenings caused by yours truly and company (having a friend that lives next door has made PM a target). Most people come here for a meal, I go there for a meal and a few hours of beverages. I have tried their sushi, chicken and peanut sauce skewers, pot stickers, Thai wraps, and more, and have never been disappointed. I will say that if you spend enough time there your bill can add up, however, there are enough options on their menu to make it a moderately priced night. Their servers and bartenders are always friendly and the ambiance just cannot be beat. My only gripe, I wish their portions were bigger, but that's just my stomach talking.

Katherine M.

PM is a great spot. Don't expect the best meal of your life and you'll enjoy it. I had a tuna nori roll and it was nothing to write home about. The rice was mushy. But, they have great drinks and one of the best patios in Nashville. The bartenders treat you right and make drinks the way they ought to be - not packed with ice so that you get three sips, and strong!! The chicken Thai wraps are my favorite thing on the menu. They also have a lot of salads, my favorite is the iceberg wedge. Not as healthy as mixed spring greens, but it's very yummy! They have a lot of sushi rolls to choose from, but after my one bad experience with those, I'm steering clear of the sushi. The prices are normal for a restaurant of this caliber in Nashville. Not cheap, but won't break the bank. PM is the perfect spot for a girls' night out or dinner with friends.

I love PM and Arnold Myint. I love PM especially for its waitstaff who can suggest appropriate wines. To me PM has a casual feeling which some days I need. I'm a Nashvillian proud of our homeboy hero Arnold whose team just won right to continue on to next episode of Top Chef show in NYC with his corn tomato salad. I haven't been to his other spot, Suzy Wong's, yet, to experience but heard it's great too.

PM is good for a couple of reasons. They have a big eclectic menu with lots of different choices and most the dishes including the sushi are pretty tasty. They definitely have an amazing patio, which is probably the best thing they have going. The drinks are reasonable as well as the food prices and even the atmosphere on the inside is pretty fun. It is always fairly crowded (that was this summer even, so it might be worse now that belmont students are back) and the service is almost always pretty slow and unreliable. Overall it is a great casual place for sushi and asian american food and if you can sit on the patio its definitely a good time.

Neil V.

PM is kind of a trendy "belmont bar," but it's always been a pretty relaxed place to hang out for food and drinks. Every time i return, there are a few people i knew in college, so it has that Cheers feel to it for me. I dont eat sushi, but friends like it. The PM burger is very flavorful and the chicken sandwich is pretty good as well. Get the sweet potato fries, that is one of their specialties. Drinks are a little more expensive than they should be, but not too terrible overall.

I'd been meaning to try PM for quite some time, and faced with the need to entertain three out of town guests, all craving sushi, I took a chance on a Friday night. Blessedly, we managed immediate seating (the place was jumping) and were told at the host's stand that had we arrived five minutes earlier, would have been waiting over an hour for a table. Good thing I got a little lost on the way. Two of my friends spotted the Sumo Drink on the menu and shelled out $15 for their cocktails in a porcelain likeness of a sumo wrestler. Cute. My friend and I stuck with plain glasses for our $9 cocktails - I ordered a white sangria and my friend ordered a lychee lemonade cocktail, both of which were excellent. The service was decidedly slow, and for some reason the waitress couldn't grasp the concept that we wanted straws in our waters, but all things considered for a Friday night, she was very pleasant. We decided to all go in on a massive sushi order, and probably wound up with 9 or 10 rolls between the four of us. Everything was wonderful. I always lean toward spicy sushi, and am often disappointed when some sushi chefs squirt on a drizzle of Sriracha instead of making an actual spicy sauce, but I was not disappointed in the sauce at PM. I'd have to look at the menu again to tell you exactly what we got, but the Florida Roll was a definite standout. Between four people with more than one cocktail apiece, including two overpriced sumo glasses, a smattering of very satisfying sushi and an appetizer, our check came to $108. I would absolutely return, but the host's warning of very long waits scares me, especially because they don't take reservations.

Declan G.

The friends I always go to PM with won't like this review, because they're all pretty enthusiastic about it. But it's too trendy for me, and the dishes I've had there (tempura vegetables, mixed bean quesadilla, and roasted tomato soup) didn't quite work. The thai salsa didn't mesh well with the quesadilla, which didn't have the right ratio of beans to cheese, and had too many raw onions sprinkled on top for my taste. The roasted tomato soup sounds like it would be amazing, but after a few bites I felt like I was slurping straight tomato juice. The tempura vegetables were better, but I can only handle a limited amount of fried vegetables at one time. However... PM has delicious coffee that looks charming in their little white teacups. My group always seems to get this curly-haired male server who is really upbeat and attentive. And although I haven't had a chance to form an opinion on their rolls, the sushi bar is pretty cool-looking.

My fiance and I stopped in here for a drink. We were there for happy hour and the prices were good. We sat on the couch inside by the front window and just relaxed with our drinks. It was a very nice atmosphere and the service was good. We did not order any food, but we saw people around us order food and everything looked really good.

I can't lie and say that I don't bemoan the loss of Kote's that used to be in this space on Belmont. PM, however, is an entirely different restaurant concept with great Asian fusion and sushi. It also has the best hamburger in Nashville (according to the Nashville Scene). This isn't usually my type of cuisine, but I was happy with the meal I got at PM. It has a fairly extensive menu with small plates, large plates, salads, and sushi. Whew. A lot to get through in one sitting. I had the panko-crusted chicken that was good. There's lots more to try if you're after pad thai or peanut sauces or some curry. Sorry I'm not more adventurous, but at least PM has something for picky eaters. The service we had was fine, especially since we were a large group trying to eat in a hurry. The food came out of the kitchen very quickly. PM did frustrate one member of our party who was trying to order a specific gin. They do have a full bar, they just may not have every brand of liquor known to man.

I have mixed feelings regarding PM. While the location is great and the sushi and tempura are pretty tasty, it isn't exactly cheap and the crowd often rubs me the wrong way. PM is an ultra-hip little spot that's walking distance from Belmont and a few other restaurants in the area. It tends to get pretty busy on weekends and late in the evening, and while their beer selection is decent, the prices are no better than your typical Nashville bar. Probably my favorite aspect about PM is the front dining area, which is somewhat like a massive pseudo-greenhouse. They have several large windows that they'll open when the weather is nice, and it's one of my favorite spots to dine on the West Side on warm summer nights. But if you're anything like me, you know that at some point a place is just too hip.

I've heard quite a bit about PM and it's sushi but after dining there on a Thursday night, I don't see what the talk is about. First off, it's a very busy, social spot with a 20 minute wait on a Thursday at 6:30. Staff was friendly... hip, hospitable atmosphere, although very cramped and not the most comfortable tables to sit at. It is very much in the college scene, relatively cheap food and a young crowd. I was willing to put up with the hipsters, long wait and cramped space if it resulted in some good rolls... but it didn't. I can't even remember the three rolls I tried because they were so bland and void of any real flavor, nothing worth calling home about. Maybe I ordered the wrong rolls, but they were not even worth the 5 or 6 bucks that they cost. If you're looking for good sushi head to Virago, not even a debate. After that try Ru Sans. PM was a fun place to hang out but I don't see myself ever going back there unless invited by friends.

Last three times I've eaten here and ordered sushi I've been terribly disappointed. I got the normal San Fransisco and it tasted like flowers but not in a good way if there is one.

Went here on a date and thought the place was adorable. Being able to sit outside and enjoy the warm breeze on a summer day is a real treat. Plus, the whole experience was well rounded out by the quality tapas and great quality. A great first-date spot!

The hubs and I stopped in for dinner a couple weeks ago. Great location, nice decor. I suppose I had high expectations due to the whole Top Chef thing but I ended up disappointed. We were seated quickly at a table in the back of the restaurant. As we looked over the menu, the server came over and squatted down next to us, which I find odd. We asked her for recommendations and I don't think she had really tasted many of the items on the menu so she wasn't able to give us her thoughts. My husband had the duck spring rolls and duck wonton soup. The spring rolls were very greasy and he didn't finish them, which says a lot. The soup smelled strongly of duck, which would be fine except that it wasn't the most pleasant smell. I ordered the mushroom and vegetable moo shoo. The pancakes were thick, rubbery, and lacked any kind of flavor. The moo shoo itself was acceptable - if PF Chang's is your thing - it isn't my thing. We won't be going back and I don't really expect this restaurant to improve. In sum, service was way too casual and lacked knowledge of the menu and the food lacked a decent flavor profile.

I have been going to PM for years. It has always been known for bad service, but last night was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant period. I am in the service industry so I am very forgiving when it it comes to service, but our server was not only unhelpful in every way, she was down right rude. I asked her which or two wines that she preferred and she had zero to offer except for an eye roll. I was overly nice to her the entire meal and counted 8 times that I said thank you and got zero response. Not to mention that when our food hit the table we ordered another round of drinks that we did not receive until after we had finished eating. I have never complained about service to a manager before but I did last night. And NOTHING was done about it. The food was ok, but our server made our entire meal so uncomfortable and bad that I our night was ruined. The table next to us also complained about her and then she came out and confronted them about speaking to her manager. I will NEVER go to this establishment again.

Great place to enjoy some Asian influenced foods. the fried pickles are a flavor explosion.

Josh S.

This place is another example of a Nashville restaurants aiming high but landing somewhere in the middle. There were some OK twists on Asian cuisine. The food that I had was OK. The sushi was better than the apps and whatnot but one of the rolls I had was smothered in a mayo sauce and what appeared to be Sambal. It also had crispy fried shrimp in the middle. I will let everyone know that I am a complete and total whore for mayo, spicy things, and anything you can fry. So you can't really trust me on that one. That being said, I am tired of food that is so-so. Boring. I feel like Nash-Vegas is a wonderland of average and Pm fit that bill quite nicely. Atmosphere: cramped, cold, bleh. The bar looked cozy though..... And the dollar beer happy hour thing could have bumped the place up a star....think about it....cheap cold beer and sushi or Asian food can only be beaten by cheap cold beer while taking a warm shower....seriously...try it. It rocks. I'm rambling now. Bye.

Went to PM for lunch. While the space was quite handsome, it did not make up for the uninspired, ordinary food. The burger, which was highly recommended by the manager, fell short of its reputation as Nashville's best burger. I'd take one at Fat Moe's any day over PM's. The steak fries were a nice touch, but the washabi mayo concoction tasted like green mayo. Also tried some of PM's asian inspired fare, which made the burger seemed a lot better than it was because the asian items were pretty bad. Duck springrolls lacked duck and the sauces on the side were store bought saracha and hoisin sauce. The chicken satay was quite dry and hard to put down, but at least the peanut sauce rescued it. On the sushi front, there might be some finds, but the crispy shrimp roll was not it. Although PM should be commended for not loading up on the rice and messing up the rice:fish ratio, the crispy shrimp roll was filled mostly with panko bread crumbs... strange. On the brightside, the service was very good.

This place was totally good. The ambiance was cute and cozy. The chai tea pot was a little expensive at $7, but good. Miso soup was off the hizzook. Wild mushroom moo shoo was a little on the sweet side. Very nice local spot.

My favorite in town. The best burger I've had thus far in 24 years, great prices and a relaxed atmosphere. The burger is so good I actually haven't done the sushi yet. Also, the crab wontons are the jam!

C S.

People rave about this place and all its options but, all I have ever had there is the burger with wasabi mayo...make that extra wasabi mayo (for my fries.) I havnt been tempted to order anything else. Its a hip place with a great vibe in my favorite area of all of Nashville (Belmont and 12th South district) I love it.

One of the places we hit up on our long weekend in Nashville- this is apparently a regular hangout spot of the couple hosting us. Cute bar, good, friendly service. However, despite our friend's warning about the sushi not being good, we decided to try it anyway- it was so cheap, we couldn't resist (and for the record, we tried another sushi spot the next night with similar prices, but infinitely better quality). But one roll was bad, the other was absolutely inedible. Like it almost made me gag to have to swallow it, which I wouldn't have done had I realized my boyfriend had spit his into a napkin. The waiter at least tried it too and confirmed that it was really bad, but really, I don't think there's any excuse for carrying what could only have been bad crab I can't really comment more broadly than that- I could definitely see this being a great local hangout, particularly for the bar area up front, more so than the seating toward the back, but I'd be surprised to hear people came from other neighborhoods for this. Eat first and come here to drink

Oliver G.

Fun place, great to go sit outside and have some drinks. It's in a fun neighborhood with all kinds of people which add to the ambience. If you like sushi, they've got some of the best around. Also, can't recommend the tuna tartare highly enough.

Located in a converted house on 12th Avenue, PM is a great place to meet with friends for drinks or for dinner. I love the atmosphere here. There are several distinct areas that feel tucked away and cozy. They've paid attention to making every inch of this place functional and interesting. My group sat at a high bar for dinner that had columns on either side and was connected to the drinks bar. Pretty cool. As for the menu, I kept it fairly simple with an Alaska roll, but was able to try the Curry Mussels and sweet potato fries (I really do have a thing for sweet potato fries, if you haven't noticed by now...) of my compatriots and both were really quite scrumptious. They've also got a patio which would be a great place to hang out. Prices seemed reasonable to me and our waiter was attentive and nice. Personal gripe: They don't take Discover, which automatically makes them lose a star in my book.

Pretty good sushi, great wraps, _amazing_ burger, cheap drinks, good service, and sweet atmosphere. Man, I just dig this joint. Unlike Jackson's or Rumba or even Fido, I never get tired of coming to this restaurant or sitting outside people watching. There are some really strange smoking rules for the patios that seem to change every week, but other than that I don't really have any qualms. I'm not kidding you about the burger. Bon apetit!

Robert K.

The service at PM is awesome, because everyone that works there is so nice! As far as the food goes, it is not Virago, but it is a reasonably priced Asian fusion restaurant. They have everything from rice bowls with duck to sushi. The sushi is moderately priced and is really good, try the tuna nori or the Nashville. The ambiance is pretty casual, perfect for college kids. For desert, try the tempura donut bites! They are so good and melt in your mouth!

Montrey W.

This is one of my favorite college hang outs in the Belmont area. I think its a relaxing place go with a couple of friends when you wanna kick back and relax. They have a back couch area that i like to refer to as the "VIP" area. Whenever i go back to visit Nashville; I always make sure to stop by this place when I want to set a relaxing mood with my old friends.

Emily L.

I went when it first opened. The food was so-so. The service was just bad because the waitress took forever and pretty much didn't come back to the table. I went again last night and while the food was pretty good, the service was even worse than before. The waitress was just rude and did not provide good service. A large group right next to us with a different server came in after us, got their food, and finished eating before I even got my food. There were only four of us. The owner did not seem terribly sympathetic. My friends said the service is usually good but each time I've gone it's been bad! PM, please stop making excuses for your poor service and just fix it by getting better employees! The food is worth coming back for but the unwelcome feeling I get is not.

I like PM, they have good food, I especially like how you can order all different sorts of foods, like quesadillas and sushi and everything still somehow tastes good together. The sweet potato fries are literally heaven, chicken skewers are great, I haven't had a bad meal here ever, or left without being completely satisfied. They also have a solid drink selection, Lychee Martini me any day.
(4)
Mr. G.

Good food. Friendly staff (though their attire certainly needs an upgrade... dingy, baggy cutoff shorts and flip-flops are not appropriate in any service environment unless it's in Panama City). Comfortable surroundings. The sweet potato fries were really soggy and not enjoyable, but everything else we ate was good to very good. I felt the burger is over-hyped. It was a good burger, but definitely not worthy of the "best burger in the city" award. I do think you get what you pay for at PM, and in this day that's sayin' something. They just need a little polish and they could be an outstanding value.

Lauren A.

I used to like PM a lot more a couple years ago... when it really did have a neighborhood feel to it. I guess it somewhat still does, but it seems like the people that go there got a lot more annoying. Their menu changes a lot because i think they struggle to figure out exactly what it is they want to do there. There used to be a woman bartender there, not sure if she is still there, but she was older and her drinks pretty much sucked.. I think i saw her put a sugar substitute into my mojito that contained 3 mint leaves. The grilled chicken sandwich is amazing though... and only costs $6 and that comes with fries. So thats actually a good deal, especially since it tastes so good. They also make this wasabi mayo thats an absolute must for your fries. The sushi is alright, but I think the best thing about PM is that i can walk there. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat/drink there. The outdoor patio is nice when the nights are warm.. and great for people watching on Belmont.

Peter M.

This is one of those restuarants that tries to do a lot of different kinds of Asian food. It actually works pretty well. Sushi is very fresh and well-presented. Thai rolls are excellent. Intriguing cocktails (the chai-tini was memorable). Expansive outdoor seating in the front, not sure where restaurant begins and sidewalk ends. Friendly, ernest waitstaff.

Samuel E.

How have I not reviewed this place yet! My wife and I have been coming here for years and it is hands down the best sushi in Nashville overall. Tack on great (AMAZING) prices w/ fantastic customer service and it really can't be beat. Service is always quick; we've ordered pretty much everything off the menu and all tastes amazing and the staff is very nice.

Eboni S.

I really like this place but I was a tad bit disappointed last time. I ordered the Gyoza pot stickers. The last time I order them they were perfect. This time they were really bad. It tasted like there was some mystery meat in them. I'm not vegan but the menu said vegetarian. They said there wasn't any meat in it and I never said I didn't believe them. They went so far as to bring out the bag that they were in. That disappointed me a little more because I thought they made them but they don't. Needless to say, the sushi is always good and the servers are super cool and laid back. I recommend this place because they are open late, the sushi is cheap and really good, and it's a cool place.

Luke G.

We visited PM on a recommendation from the front door lady at the Bluebird. What a great recommendation! The menu is filled with fantastic selections. Great sushi, great appetizers, and great service. If you are questioning a visit here, don't hesitate to wander in. PS make sure you try the Sriracha ranch dressing... AMAZING!

Victoria L.

I've always felt PM is very overrated. All of my interactions with the staff have been very...blah. The food is also blah. I've never had an eel roll that was bland before. My experiences with PM have always been below average but I would go there if someone else insisted or picked the place. However, the cockroach in the restroom was the final straw for me. There is an abundance of better sushi options out there than this place.

Obsessed with the Pad Thai, Peanut Fondue, Shrimp Summer Rolls, and Thai Wrap with Tofu. Honestly, it never fails. It's the place I head to when I want something gluttonous, as I don't eat southern food. Has a great menu for those of us who are indecisive!

It was a Sunday afternoon at 11:30pm and we were craving a burger from PM. We entered the restaurant and saw no one. No customers, not staff, we though they might not be open yet, but soon a server came out and sat us. We picked the outside-ish patio that used to be open air but they've since enclosed it and it has garage door windows that can open if the weather is nice. Today was sunny and about 91 at 11am, so a HOT day. We skimmed the menu. I almost always get the burger with bacon and mushrooms. I was trying to decide between sushi or burger. The burger won out and we ordered a crunch shrimp roll to split as an appetizer. About the patio. It's nice if the windows are open and the weather is nice. They've got ac inside it, but there always seems to be a lot of flies in the patio. Those big, slow moving flies that always want to land on you, your food, your everything. I asked the server if we could go in and he said it was no problem. We picked a table up front. Our server was very friendly, which kind of surprised me. I've never had a rude server at PM, but my experience with PM and Blvd (another Arnold Myint establishment) is that the servers are always so blasÃ© and act like they really don't want to be there. It didn't take too long for our sushi roll to arrive. It was good, the amount of Panko crumbs in it is a lot. Like, you need to dip it in soy sauce or have a glass of water ready because it'll make your mouth dry and you might have difficulty swallowing. Reminded me a little of the saltine cracker challenge. The burgers arrived soon after. The burger is $9 and each topping is .50 cents. So my burger with bacon and mushrooms was ten bucks. I got the fries, which are huge steak fries with flake salt on them. So yummy. A side comes with the price of the burger. If you're looking to spice things up, order the red curry ranch with the burger. It goes well with it and it's even good to dip your fries in and it's no extra charge. My visit today was pretty good. The bacon on the burger wasn't warm, which was kind of a bummer but I guess it was prepared the day before seeing as how we were the first customers. With Blvd looking so nice and new, it kind of makes PM look like it could stand to use a facelift.

Charline H.

Wondering around the Belmont area looking for a dinner spot, my hubs and I sought out PM for dinner last week. I've been a fan of Chef Myint's food for a long time, but never had a chance to come in this restaurant. The food was incredible. I slurped up my chicken/vegetable lo mein noodles with delight while trying to ignore the warn/dingy atmosphere of the restaurant's interior. I felt as though I was eating in a college bar and the students were about to arrive and order their round of shots. My hubs didn't mind as he raved about the beef pho. Had the patio not been full, maybe that would have made the experience a little better. But I can guarantee we will be back to order take out!

Alex M.

With so many amazing sushi restaurants in Nashville, this was a huge disappointment. We came here while staying in the area, the tables were sticky and, generally, it didn't seem to be clean throughout. This made eating the sushi and rolls beyond challenging. Very unappetizing. If you want truly inspired sushi and Asian dishes, go to Virago downtown!!
(2)
Anna J.

Sushi here is pretty average, and portions are extremely small for the price. I would skip the sushi and go for their other menu items. The original chicken sandwich is pretty good, especially with the sweet potato fries. The tuna salad was very disappointing. They should use mixed greens and not just iceberg lettuce. The tuna also did not taste very fresh. The service was good, but very slow. Don't expect this place to knock your socks off.

Ashley T.

We ate here a few nights ago with some friends who have lived in Nashville for a while and frequent PM. My husband and I really liked this place! We sat down first and ordered a drink. I was so excited when I saw they have ginger beer! So far, so good! For starters, we ordered the sesame and coconut rice tofu pouches. Theirs was a really good version of inari that we both always order if it's on a sushi menu. They were so large that after having 2 of them, I wasn't as hungry as I thought I would be when our entrees came out. For our entrees, my husband ordered the veggie burger with steak fries and the summer sushi roll. I ordered the tofu thai wrap with sweet potato fries and the PM sushi roll. Our food came out quickly. The veggie burger was GREAT. Possibly one of the very best veggie burgers I've ever tried. It was covered in a delicious Asian BBQ sauce. I will order it next time. I didn't try his fries but he said they were good. The summer roll was good though. Not out of this world, but good sushi. The wrap I ordered was really good but I wish I had requested no onions. They were really potent and I picked them off. The peanut sauce that came with the wrap also came on the PM roll. It was really good. Thick and peanuty! The roll itself was good but I wish I had ordered something different because it tasted too much like the wrap because of the sauce. The sweet potato "fries" were more like a huge sweet potato cut into thick slices and baked with a little sea salt. They were good but nothing great and I wouldn't necessarily call them fries. We will definitely be back. The food was really good and for a beer, an appetizer, a burger, a wrap, and two sushi rolls, our bill was around $47. Not too shabby!

Kimberly P.

Based on the website, I was expecting something much more elegant. It felt like a dive bar, which wasn't the vibe I was looking for for a business lunch. And the pad thai was the worst I have ever had. We were also disconcerted by how often our waiter ran his hands through his hair. I hope he was washing them afterwards, but I would be surprised if he was. Cringe.

Demi W.

My boyfriend and I came here the other night and ordered the Thai nachos. The chicken was extremely rubbery and it definitely didn't seemed cooked all the way. We felt uncomfortable about the chicken after a few bites, we even left with a full plate of it left on the table it wasn't an option to get it taken off the bill. The next day I called to let them know how sick we both got hoping for compensation but a simple "thanks for telling us" was all I received. I am extremely disappointed. Especially because we come here so often.

PM was a definite regular spot for us years ago and always fit the bill when in the mood for sushi. We were in the hood for the evening and were on the lookout for something vegetarian and, of course, up pops PM on our yelpy radar. It was a pretty busy night but we were sat immediately inside at a table. There's no mistaking that most are looking for an al fresco dining experience in Nashville. It's gorgeous. I think we missed the boat a bit with our order, unfortunately. I do remember loving their sushi and especially going nuts over their veggie burger. We went a bit of a different route -- Veggie Fritters - These were a little bland on our end. Not sure if we just got a weird batch? They did have some visibly delicious veg within, but the flavors were a bit flat. The dipping sauce was interesting, too. A different take on honey mustard. Not my favorite. Veggie Mu Shu - Where the veggies were pretty good, the crepes, which are typically softer, chewier, and a bit more structured, were pretty bad. They fell apart and had a really bad texture altogether. I forewent them and just ate the veggies, which again, were fantastic. Veggie Lo Mein - Holy sesame oil, Batman! That's really all I can say. It was so overwhelmingly sesame-laden that it was a bit hard to eat bite after bite. My wife only ate about 1/3 of it. The setting of this place is just awesome, though. Killer place for a drink on the patio or even at the bar. I'd definitely recommend the sushi and veggie burger, but the items we had are a little less-than passable. Either way, still a huge fan of PM!

Hall W.

Okay... people need to understand PM for what it is and what it isn't: What it isn't: This is not your place to relish in Asian food if you are remotely concerned about authenticity. I made the mistake of bringing my friend who has a thing for Thai after frequent business trips there. So basically anybody who has expectations of genuineness might not find this the most savory. What it is: an oddball eclectic menu of sushi and random Asian dishes that are enriched with some extra seasoning and flavor to fulfill the college student/young adult/soccer mom palate. So basically, this isn't a cultural experience, more like an opportunity have any sort of Asian food and mix it together. I mean the food is good... just not great. Its kind of fresh, but not scream out your mouth freshest thing on earth with some super creative work behind it. The service is attentive, but just okay. Oh and god save you if you need to park.

If you are a vegetarian and are served chicken instead of tofu to end your 5+ year streak of no meat, expect to be offered free drinks and a comp for the meal. Then expect them all on your bill, because they were just kidding. In fact, they'll awkwardly send all kinds of staff your way to 'not know what is going on' to get you frustrated enough to just leave. Later when you call to confront the manager. "Krooze" will refuse to help you to make the situation right. PM used to be a fine restaurant and we enjoyed it many times. Its sad to see the service fall so profoundly.

Kayla D.

PM: Pretty Mediocre At first glance this place seems like such a good idea but in actuality it is one of the worst sushi places in Nashville. I've gone here a few times at friends' requests so I jave given this place a few tries. The mixed drinks were creative and delicious but I didn't drink enough of them to make the rest of the food better. The food was disappointing and overpriced. They used the cheap break away chopsticks that didn't break evenly. The music was loud and distracting. Sitting outside leaves you victim to smokers. The food was barely passable and the sushi was old. I ordered the sashimi and what I got should not have been served. With a texture and taste so horrible it must have been going bad that evening. This place has such potential and I am sure the feeling behind its creation was pure but the food was barely passable. You can tell the owner and creative chef behind the menu are not the ones making the food. The staff was friendly but lacked experience, chatting me up but leaving me without water. My waiter was talkative but left dirty plates on my table the whole meal. I've had the pho, which is alright. There are better pho places in Nashville. The tempura was passable but most of the other shared plates are disappointing. I will not be going back.

Belmont roll is the one to order! The first attempt to dine here failed. Yes we should have made a reservation. It was difficult to find a parking place but we finally found one only to discover the wait was over an hour. We were too hungry to wait so we went somewhere else. I would highly recommend reservations. This place is across the street from the college and stays very busy. We decided to make our return visit during summer when the majority of college kids were back home. We stopped for lunch and we were seated immediately. We started with the Belmont roll. This roll had salmon, tuna, and crab deep-fried. It was great. I ordered the mushroom and vegetable moo shu for my entree. The filling was very good but I didn't love the crepe. It was wet and thick and tore in several places. I gave up trying to get them to hold the filling and just ate the mushrooms and vegetables. I wish I would have stuck to the sushi and ordered more rolls.

Jazzy A.

Joining my friends after a long day of work, I just really wanted to enjoy some great food in a laid back atmosphere. I had a hankering for Thai and PM was our destination for the night to hopefully fulfill that craving. PM surprised me. Their extensive, diverse menu: sushi, Thai infused entrees, traditional Thai. The chill, take a deep breath environment: again, hipster chic. (My friends were in hipster crush heaven!) All the ingredients I needed to unwind. Several entrees looked appealing to me- Cold Sesame Noodles, unique sushi rolls, the list goes on. I opted for the Thai Chicken Salad upon recommendation of our very funny server, Mick. Resting on a bed of fresh mixed greens, the Thai peanut sauce held a lovely mixture of shredded chicken, carrots, cucumbers, and peanuts. The sauce had a nice kick of spice which complimented well with the coolness of the mixed greens. The shredded chicken was tender and the portion was surprisingly large. Often, I find, salads topped with meat are sparse and you have to dig for the pieces. Not in this case. Affordable, great service, located in a great area- PM offers a dining experience that will make you a repeat customer.

New years eve in Nashville was great, good friends, new city (first time in Nashville), great food and drinks thanks to PM. was able to stroll in and get a table for three with no problem at all, really was expecting a wait being NYE and the place was certainly busy. There were two-for-one drinks on well liquor which i certainly can appreciate, and the place smelled great! We shared an appetizer of the coconut calamari which was pretty bangin' and i had the citrus beef salad for dinner and boy was it good! The wait staff were all very friendly and helpful with questions about some menu items. I would definitely say to try that citrus beef salad, you can view my picture of the meal i've attached to get a bit of an idea of what to expect but the picture does no justice to the deliciousness of this treat! The rice is very sticky (it's supposed to be) and one of the other staff members happened to inform us that it took 20 hours to make, time well spent i must say. Try it, and get back to me on if i'm right or not.

This place is ok not really you're nice fine dine for Thai food. They have a mix of Thai and American food. The Thai food here is not authentic at all. To Americanized. If you love raw sushi this is your place. It's near the Belmont University so mostly a college hang out place to drink.

Really enjoyed this place! We had some amazing sushi, some of the best cold, unfiltered saki and our bartender Vanessa was the best! So glad we tried this place out!!

This place kills it. Loved it. Reasonable sushi and appetizers. Always go when I'm in town and want something interesting.

What I liked: 1. The Thai Wrap- extra peanut sauce please! 2. The Sushi- I only wish there were more options. 3. Brownie tempura donuts- If funnel cake and brownies had an amazing "tempura" baby, this would be it. Delicious! What I didn't like: 1. The sweet potato fries- These were essentially just sliced sweet potatos and the skin made them hard to eat. 2. The service- While out waitress was very nice, the computer system timed out as our check was being processed. Yes, things happen but we were kept waiting without apology or explanation until the end. They might be too accustomed to serving college kids and forget that adults are also their customers! The verdict- Try it out and get the donuts!

Our food was good...the atmosphere was just okay, but we were seated inside. It might have been nicer outside partially because the music was very loud inside even though the restaurant was half empty. The Thai Iced Tea was excellent!

First off, PM is one of my favorite late night sushi spots. On occasion I have gone in and sat down to eat but I usually just place a pick up order. Tonight I went in and sat down. My waitress was a skinny girl with a short bowl cut. She was rude from the beginning and ruined the beginning of my meal. Luckily the sushi is delish so I kept it moving but watch for her.

Wow..just Wow.. PM is already my personal favorite restaurant in Nashville but tonight I had the perfect dish. The SPICY BASIL STIR FRY is soooooo good I want to order seconds. Perfect amount of spice, more seafood than I expected and the basil, oooh the basil was sent from heaven and placed inside this dish for my taste buds to savor. It will be almost impossible to ever order anything else on the menu. Do your mouth a favor ORDER IT.

Great sushi, service, location, and they're open late! Bathrooms are always clean too. No complaints at all!

I like PM, but there are a couple of issues that prevent me from awarding it more than a three star rating. First: Why are all of your employees in street clothes? I get the desire to avoid a uniform, but that doesn't mean that your staff can't at least be dressed professionally. When I'm greeted by someone wearing a hoodie and seated by someone wearing a stocking cap and a Titans t-shirt, I'm not sure who's an employee and who's a guest. You can avoid the uniform but still have a professional appearance. Second: Our waitress was friendly and great at suggesting menu items. Unfortunately it appeared she had absolutely NO experience using a two-step wine tool. I almost offered to open my own bottle of wine just to spare her the embarrassment of struggling with the bottle for nearly 5 minutes. Third: If you're going to participate in Restaurant Week, don't put menu items on your special menu that are so obviously an attempt to move inventory that otherwise doesn't move. I enjoyed my Seafood and Basil Stir Fry, but when I looked over your menu and saw the majority of the ingredients in the dish weren't located in any other dishes, it made me wonder just how fresh the ingredients were. Fourth: The desserts on the Restaurant Week menu were absolutely terrible. The Green Tea Ice Cream was so bitter, it just begged for some other ingredient to cut the bitter flavor. The Tempura brownie just tasted like a funnel cake with a low-quality brownie inside. I DID enjoy the sushi, and I imagine that's what keeps the place in business, as the majority of the patrons appeared to be Belmont students getting their sushi fix. Pick a niche and do it well, that will ensure the success of the concept. When you try to be everything to everyone you just end up truly pleasing no one. In short, PM is a great spot for sushi. The service is friendly, but could use a little more training on the finer points of service.

Delicious pad Thai! Loved that it came wrapped in an omelette. Perfect balance of sweet and salty. Good service and really appreciate that they're open late. Opt for some cold unfiltered sake and you won't be disappointed.

Two words: Sushi. Pizza. I know it seems crazy, but trust me. This place knows how to put a modern spin on average Asian dishes

PM used to be my go to place for good food and decent service. After my last visit here, I'll never go back! The sushi was below average and the service was the worst I've ever had. Lesson learned.

This was the first restaurant I've experienced in Nashville and I keep coming back. Everything I've had is absolutely delicious from the veggie burger to the sushi pizza. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is visiting Nashville, TN.

Man. It's been a LONG time since I have been to PM! So when my friend and I needed a stop for our Friday night Restaurant Week adventure, we decided to enjoy the 3 course meal for $20.13 offered here! We were able to grab a table a little after 6pm and ordered the white and red sangria. YUM. Very tasty and a healthy portion for sure! Great start. We decided to have the shrimp spring rolls and moo shu quesadilla to start and wow, they did not disappoint! I loved the sauces on the side and we knew we were off to a solid start! For entrees we decided on the green curry with chicken and the salmon teriyaki with veggies. I ordered my green curry spicy, and it was even though the heat kinda floated to the bottom of the bowl. I have to admit I didn't love the broth, it seemed a bit watered down (maybe from all the restaurant week orders?) and I was let down. The salmon was good, and I definitely grabbed more than one bite from my friend's plate. For dessert I ordered the tempura brownie bite with caramel and my friend the coconut sticky rice with mango. Both were good but not great. Probably wouldn't order it off the menu again. I always say that your appetizers shouldn't outshine the main course. I feel it should be a delicious and amazing build up to the grand finale that is your main dish. In this case, I was wishing I could have done a re-do of the appetizers. What brought it down to 3 stars is that they rushed us out the door. I HATE when I'm still working on a course and the next one is brought out to me. Give me a minute or two please! And they weren't completely slammed or anything when we were here. Overall, not bad. I'd like to come back and have a refresher on the sushi!

My fiancÃ© and I went to dinner here last night. We have been here several times before and have loved it. Last night the hostess was very flighty and kept referring to our party of three as a party of two. She just seemed really out of it and kept seating other groups that came in after us before us. As far as the food, the sushi is always really good in our experience. The Thai food wasn't so great as last night was the first time we tried it. I ordered the Thai nachos. Thai, they were not. It was basically barbecue chicken on your classic nachos with sour cream and guac. If we go back, I'll definitely be sticking to the sushi. The restaurant itself is an eclectic little spot. It is a pretty cool, laid back atmosphere. The bathrooms however were super gross last night. Definitely in need of a good clean. I got the gas station bathroom vibe for sure.

Do you love sushi?!!!! PM is my favorite place to get the best sushi in NashVegas. Always fresh and delicious! I tried the sushi pizza during my visit and wanted more. Perfection!

Jamie A.

I am a huge fan of PM. The sushi is fresh, the price is right and the non-sushi menu is never boring. I love that they sell Sofia sparkling wine in the little cans. I'm a sucker for things in cute packages...and also for sparkling wine. The cocktails are also delicious. The bartenders can make a mean martini. The nigiri cuts are very generous. The yellowtail is always super fresh. They have a great selection of maki including some traditional and not-so traditional offerings (bacon, anyone?). One of these days I will tear myself away from the sushi menu and try the much raved burger.
(5)
Allison N.

I absolutely love PM. Such a great variety and such a cute little place to go for late night. The service was always pretty good whenever I went. They've got quite a bit of Asian food on the menu, but a surprising point where this place does really well is their burger. Weird, right? Anyway, the burger is one of the best in the area by far. There's a good variety here, so something for everyone. Definitely more of a late night place, but really a cool restaurant near Belmont. Expect it to be pretty busy, but you shouldn't have to wait too long, especially if you come in later on in the night.

Terrible Customer service, found a baby cockroach on the table post dinner. - did not attempt to comp. the meal. I will not be back and will never recommend this restaurant, in fact i will actively tell people to stay away if i am asked for dinner suggestions. Good luck PM, I hope you get an exterminator soon because where there is a baby cockroach there are bound to be more... For the rest of you PM lovers, enjoy your meals, I hear cockroaches are a great source of protein. ***

We came to pm with 4 people and all 4 of us ordered something different they brought our food on two different plates to our other friends, making us assume our was still on the way when it was actually on the other parties plates. The chicken sandwich my friend ordered was raw and after taking two bites out of it our waiter told us it wasn't refundable. Our waiter was talking to another staff member at the computer pointing at us and laughing for bringing it to his attention. As someone who works in the restaurant business I would have sent a manager over. I will not be back.

Corey G.

I've tried PM twice, dined in once and did take out the other time and I've yet to really be wowed by PM, it seems more trendy than anything. I heard a lot of hype about this place before trying it and I can really say that the only saving grace it really has is the price. Parking was a little bit of a pain. There's nothing super exciting about their rolls and they aren't very filling. I don't want to write the place off completely because there are things on the menu I'd like to try like the Sushi Pizza and some of their thai dishes. I also hear great things about their bar program so I hopefully the third time is the charm with PM.

We came to PM later around 9:30 PM following a night at the symphony - the majority of the city was at the Preds game, so I can't speak for the crowd considering we were at an odd time and crowd was going to be smaller anyway, but we were seated immediately with full water glasses off the bat. The menus were a little beat up but the food they boasted looked spectacular and I went with my impulse for Soup & Appetizer because I love when I can get the option of not having to narrow down the delicious eats so much...BRILLIANT. I got the Curried Sweet Potato Bisque and Laotian Sausage Bites. The Bisque was way flavorful and presented cleverly: Scallions on the top to mix the flavor up a bit and keep your tongue excited, scoop around for scallion-less yum, then I hit the bottom of the bowl where a mass of sour cream awaited me and shook up my soup experience again. I literally went "ohhh..." and made happy face. So smart, I had three flavor choices in one bowl! The Laotian Sausage Bites were also fabulous, with a great crisp I think pan fried in cashews they tasted spicy and pork-y and nutty all at once...plus they came on their own mini salad so you could again, flavor blend. I hated the sweet & spicy sauce that came on the side here - it made no sense to add - but it was on the side so I simply didn't add it. My friend got the Seafood Bi Bim Bop that I was also tempted by and that was very tasty as well. The neat thing is again - probably my favorite part now that I think of it - how it was presented left you the option to combine different parts of the plate to make different flavors so you never lost the flavor excitement, it was never a blur, the taste was always fresh! I hope that happens on all the meals here, it's like getting to share plates without sharing the flavors get so mixed up. Service was great, atmosphere is the now-standard cool, we stayed chatting for quite a while and no one made us feel like we should hit the road. All around I want to go back again. I've loved all of Arnold Mynt's restaurants (3/4) I've tried so far and enjoy that he does "veggie justice" to his menus - although I realize I got meaty meals here, I go for the Spicy Eggplant at Suzy Wong's and loved my egg bake for Sunday brunch at blvd. Lots of flavor, smart presentation to keep your mouth excited, good atmosphere, apparently busy based on the other reviews but you know...everyone wants good food!

Haley H.

Husband and I ate for lunch. We will probably never go back. Our server brought us our appetizers and told us our sushi had been out and ready and would we like him to bring it..no one wants to hear that when they have ordered sushi. Our food tasted like it had been sitting for a while and we barely ate and left and went to eat somewhere else. Sad because I used to love this place.

Larry S.

Great Asian place across the street from Belmont university. (So the majority is def. college kiddos) This place does a good meal start to finish. Edamame and peanut sauce fondue are great apps. This has the best veggie burger in town. Come with fantastic steak fries and wasabi mayo. The dessert is killer with a deep fried chocolate brownie. Amazing.

Ashley G.

Great ambience. I like the music selection. I've been here a few times and will be back. It's much better than Suzy Wong's. The food can be hit or miss. Love the duck spring rolls. The BBQ pork bun tasted frozen though. Sushi is on par with many in the area, nothing special but not bad. Great drink menu.

Tran T.

I went here so many time when I used to go to Belmont, I can't believe I haven't wrote a review on it yet. I agree with John S., that the PM Chargrilled Burger by itself deserves 5 Stars. It comes with Steak Fries or Sweet Potato Fries and Wasabi Mayo sauce. I usually added ketchup to the sauce, for some reason, it tasted better that way. For $5, the Thai Tea tasted average. Don't waste your money on it. Appetizer: I recommend the Coconut Calamari, which comes with 3 different sauces. My favorite is the one with the cucumber, tomato, and onion. The crunchiness of the veggie plus the sweet and sour of the sauce make this sauce sooo yummy! The other two are Siracha and Sweet & Sour sauce, which come from a bottle that you could purchase at any Asian supermarkets. The Laotian Sausage Bites are also very good (pork sausage, arugula, and walnuts with Siracha sauce). May be prices for pork went up, but the portion for this dish seemed gotten smaller compared to the first time I got it. Sushi: So far the only sushi roll I got was San Francisco roll. It seems the rolls at PM aren't fancy looking like at other restaurants but the SF roll I had was really good. Lunch: Shrimp Tempura with Ponzu is basically putting shrimp tempura and few slices of green onion on top of steam rice...even my guy friend knows how to make a better dish than that. Dinner: Sake Seared Salmon was average. I had better Salmon at Chill Spot (Delis) and that says something. Chinese Roasted Pork. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Man, this dish is an INSULT to Chinese food. I'm sure $3 cup noodles tastes better than this $15 dish. Egg noodles and roasted pork were gross. It tasted like bad microwaved food. What a nightmare. For take out, they do charge you (5%?) for to-go orders. Is it because to-go box is recyclable? I should have asked. They do have a nice patio which is what I like most about this place. Don't expect good customer service here or any restaurant in Belmont/Hillsboro Village. It seems the waiters/waitresses are too cool and "hip" for us. 2013/#51

I used to frequent (almost weekly) with my group of friends here for the first 2 years I lived in Nashville. It was a good place to meet since they had large tables for a large group, outdoor seating that welcomed dogs, and good service. They also have a large menu with a variety to fit anyone's pallet. The food is okay but I've had better at other restaurants in Nashville for cheaper. I haven't really gone back in the past few years. If I want thai, then there's Thai Phooket. If I want a burger, there's The Pharmacy or Burger Up. If I want dumplings, there's Lucky Bamboo. If I want chinese food, then there's Chinatown. If I want sushi, there's Wild Ginger.

Chad R.

Food is always good. The burger is great. The service is always lacking. I've never been to this place in the years I've lived in Nashville where I got anything over quasi decent service. If it wasn't for the fact the food is so good I would never come back here.

Hallie J.

I have been to PM twice. Both times were with co-workers that absolutely raved about not only the sushi but the waiters and waitresses. The first time I went, I had a great experience. Good company and a great roll along with fresh edamame. This experience would have awarded PM a mere 4 stars (due to the fact I think their rolls are somewhat over priced for the quality) However, this past week, I again visited with co-workers for ones birthday. There were 10 of us in total and we were all in great moods, finally all being together again! However, after being seated, the waitress Jessica was rude from the get go when coming to ask for our drink orders. She wouldn't speak up and rarely came to check on us. One of the girls I was with has a very severe food allergy and when asked for just fried rice and an egg was charged 23 dollars for it!!! That's more than she was estimated ($15). The waitress came to our table maybe 4 times total. All of the work being done by the other help in the restaurant which we greatly appreciated their efforts. The manager, however, was very nice and upon coming to speak to us at our table gave us all quite a few laughs. Despite his funny commentary, this was not a very pleasant experience and the roll in which I was recommended and told that it was "The best roll ever" was subpar of any good roll i've ever had, and I have sushi all the time at various places. Needless to say, I won't be returning to PM anytime soon. Sorry. There is far better sushi and service at a much more reasonable price else where. *On a side note, however, the sweet potato wedges and the house salad with miso vinaigrette were both quite good.

Located right on the edge of Belmont, PM tends to be a frequent of a younger crowd, but it also has a nicer atmosphere than most would expect of a college joint. Service has always been fantastic, and the unique Asian-inspired menu keeps me interested (unlike the owner's other establishment Suzy Wong's, which was definitely a one time experience.) The sushi itself isn't too shabby - way better than Zumi Sushi (not that that's much of an accomplishment), but somewhere below Ninki. I personally prefer the Summer and Winter rolls, but sushi bar standards like the California roll are also available. They also have some of their own creations. The Belmont is nice, but the Nashville (bacon, ham, cream cheese, and asparagus??) makes me shudder. I've also had the Chicken Katsu Don, and was realllllly impressed by the chicken. I don't eat a lot of meat, so I tend to be picky about where and when I have it. No complaints here. BTW, sushi pizza is surprisingly delightful. ;) The spring rolls are a bit flavorless, and the Thai Salsa Nachos, sadly, didn't seem much different from any other nachos, but aside from that, everything I've tried has been pretty great. Oh and a word of advice: the parking situation here is terrible, so I'd suggest a lunchtime visit on a weekend or an early dinner unless you live nearby. Luckily, I live down the street, so I can avoid local traffic when I get a craving.

Ben P.

While most people are reviewing the sushi and Asian cuisine, I'm here to review the PM Burger because it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. The PM Chargrilled Burger is a thick slab of meat (ostensibly 1/2 pound) with too many customization options to count. I order my burger cooked Medium, with grilled onions, pepper jack cheese, and wasabi mayo. The onions (or maybe it's the burger, I don't know) has a slight asian bbq sauce on it. The burger nearly falls apart in your hand because it is so juicy. I have it every time I come to Nashville.
(5)
John S.

The PM burger is AWESOME and totally worth it... the rest of the menu, kinda meh. If I were to rate PM on their burger alone, I would be tempted to give it 4 stars. However, since there is nothing else outstanding, I will keep it at 3 stars because it is still a solid restaurant. The concept of asian fusion food is an interesting one but the menu is priced based on concept and customers instead of execution and actual quality. In other words, because of the crowd that tends to frequent this place (hipsters and kids with money to spend) the menu is overpriced. The only exception is the burger, which is done beautifully and has great flavor for a reasonable price. If I'm craving a good burger, PM would be on my list of options. Otherwise I can't find a good reason to come.

Juliet L.

PM is good in a pinch and I live in the neighborhood, so it's convenient. Always feels a little sticky, though. The kind of sticky where every table is unbalanced and there's a fly hovering nearby. But the sushi and some of their other dishes are good. They should start doing happy hour.

Lauren L.

I popped in here one evening for due to the fact that it was quite late, and we had yet to eat, but the fridge was pretty empty. I would say that this is an alright little place, but not my favorite. They have a pretty diverse menu with more Asian-inspired cuisine but also items that feature flavors closer to home. We had a Thai wrap, sushi, a burger, and a mojito. The best part of the meal was the mojito, honestly- quite good! Everything else was okay: not bad but nothing that would make me want to specifically stop here again. Like another reviewer mentioned, their sweet potato fries aren't really "fries." They basically take a sweet potato and slice it, so your "fries" are more like thick-cut chips with the potato skin still attached. I didn't really mind; they were an interesting thing to try, but the skin was a bit tough. I'm not quite sure if this place is really my scene, either. It seems to cater to the "hipster" student crowd. The majority of the customers when I was there were definitely undergraduate college kids. The atmosphere was a little awkward, as well, due to some of the staff sitting around at one of the tables near where we were eating and talking loudly/texting on their cell phones. All in all, PM's not a bad restaurant; it's just not my kind of place.

Robert P.

Used to be one of my favorite places to eat. Things have changed....Went for lunch and the music was so loud I couldn't even communicate with the server. My standby was always the cheeseburger and spicy tuna roll and I seem to have noticed a steady decline over the years of what used to be great. If you go there is a guy with a beard (sorry don't know his name) but he is working hard and will give great service but if you don't get him you will be underwhelmed with the service.

Laine S.

I was craving sushi, but being unfamiliar with Nashville's offerings, visited PM on the recommendation of a family member. Bottom line, the sushi was awful. The fish was very low-quality, I bit into some yellowtail Nigiri and could not even bite through it. It was so tough it shredded in the process. Honestly, this is partially my fault for not checking out the menu prior to our visit. When we arrived we saw that probably 75% of the rolls contained "krab stick", and most were fried or had some sort of needless sauce on top. The kicker was the service. After trying a couple of bites of the sushi and pushing the plate to the side because it was pretty inedible, our server came by and asked how everything was. I informed him politely and discretely the sushi was not very good, he responded by saying "okay... Sorry" and wondering off without any further action. He didn't offer to replace the dish, he did not ask what was wrong with the dish, and he did not send anyone else over to handle the situation. To make matters far worse, when the bill arrived and the barely touched sushi still appeared on it, I flagged him down and pointed it out as politely as I could. He became flustered, waved his hands about, and said he couldn't do anything about that and he would send his manager over. To the managers credit, he was very polite and took care of removing it from the bill, but the server was so rude that I am still a little disappointed in myself for leaving the nominal tip that I did. The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is some of the other dishes we ordered were fine, but really we only came here for the sushi, and what a disappointment.

Lauren G.

A little bit for everyone. Sushi to the burgers to full entrees, It's really pretty good. I give it a 3 because its standard and solid, burger is good and sushi always good. Nothing out of this world (like omg I have to have more) but always really solid. It takes a lot to earn a 4 or 5 and just like the 3 Star description on Yelp says, 3 stars = A ok :) I usually just come here because I like the atmosphere, quiet, cozy, and it's close to my neighborhood. It never gets to crazy or packed so I can hear people. Actually not a bad little date spot if you want something on the budget friendly side and not over the top. I usually come here for drinks with the girls or friends and maybe grab a sushi roll or two. I come here every so often when i'm tired of the midtown/downtown scene. It's a nice break and like I said it's always good, standard, never a bad meal. It's A-ok with me :)

Dani W.

I absolutely love PM! I've eaten here twice and I most definitely will be back. On my first visit (last summer) I had the Miami roll and beef and broccoli. My second visit, which was yesterday for lunch I had the sushi pizza. OMG! Can you say amazing?! This was the best sushi dish I've ever had. I literally could've had it again for dinner. I highly recommend this. The servers are really nice and I love the outdoor scenery.
(5)
Colleen J.

This is tough, but I can't deny it. The service here pretty much ruined the entire experience. The sushi was great, gyoza was flavorless, though. Our waitress was absolutely helpless. Couldn't get the right drink order, when she brought the wrong item she blamed it on us and didn't apologize, was impolite the entire time, and barely checked on us. Absolutely terrible experience. Never again.

Emma W.

PM's food is incredible. Nothing else to say. I've eaten there probably 15 times and it's consistent and amazing. I could bathe in the coconut soup. I just wish that their Pad Thai was a little more affordable. It used to be $14. Granted, it's a big dish, but they added 3 types of protein to it instead of being able to "choose" your protein... but for those of us who don't eat meat... we should be able to customize it with just the egg + tofu for cheaper than $17.
(5)
Laura G.

Excellent service. Interesting menu! I just didn't think the flavors were there. I had the duck spring rolls (which I asked if they were fried and was told no) and they were fried. The they served a hot sauce and sweet sauce with the rolls, the hot sauce overpowered the duck. The spare ribs were good but nothing special. My husband ordered a vegetarian dish that lacked any flavor at all but looked pretty. The Pad Thai noodles were served in an egg crepe (nice presentation) but they lacked flavor as well. oh well.....
(2)
Andrea R.

I have yet to find amazing sushi in Nashville for a reasonable price, my rolls were decent but not earth shattering. A convenient spot in the Belmont/Hillsboro Village neighborhood if you don't want to venture far but probably not somewhere I'd use my hard earned cash at again.

Ian R.

PM is by far my favorite sushi place in Nashville, and I also think that the burger is damn near the best in town. Great vibe wether you're sitting inside or outside. Large beer selection, as well as sake and some wines as well. Service is very hit or miss. Food is always out on time and I've never NOT been taken care of well, but the majority of the staff is flat out boring and not fun to talk to. Most of them seem like they don't enjoy working there at all. But hey, it could just be the fact that they're trying so hard to keep up their hipster persona. The ONLY downside to this place for me (and it almost made me make this a 4 star revue) is the bathrooms. It is mind blowing that the place looks wonderful, but when you walk into the bathroom, it looks like you're in some under kept dive bar. Half the lights are burnt out, it always reeks of nasty smells, and there's graffiti tagged on all the walls. I usually try avoiding the bathroom here if I can.

Madalyn H.

PM is probably my favorite sushi place in Nashville. I've been three times total thus far, the first time when my mother was visiting in town. Two bites into her roll, she exclaimed this was one of the restaurants she wants to hit every time she visits. I've had a few different rolls, the sushi pizza, spring rolls and dessert, and nothing has left me disappointed. Even going later at night (they serve sushi until 11, are open until 1 pm on weekdays), I felt the fish was still fresh and just as tasty as I'd come to expect from earlier dining.

A P.

Well we are Nashville natives, (my wife and I) and we've been to PM probably 5 times a piece. PM has been walking on eggshells with me, because the food was hit or miss...I can deal. What I cannot deal with is arrogance, and a sucky attitude. Let the story begin. As always the host/hostess and wait staff are about as engaging as speaking with a wall. They seat you, but not without letting you know that you somehow are disturbing their evening, (are you not at work?) On to the food, I ordered the Thai chicken salad, pretty easy go since its a salad with sauce and chicken on top. I said I wanted no wonton puffs (making it gluten free). My wife orders her go-to which is the veggie burger, mind you we have had veggie burgers come out COLD before, but we were rolling the dice saying "maybe this is a good trip, maybe they'll get it right" 1st round :NOPE sure enough the burger comes out with no caramelized onions, and no wasabi mayo (something that is supposed to be on the side per how the dish is always presented) annnnnd my salad had wontons. SO we sent it back, both dishes. Round 2: they bring my salad out long before her veggie burger arrives the 2nd time and literally they picked off the wontons and covered the area up with shredded carrots. Pretty obvious because that dish never has that many carrots. Hers arrives with onions and her mayo, and we are thinking we are set and ready to go. NOPE it's ICE cold in the middle, ugh, by now its becoming laborious, so we sent hers back a second time. Round 3: Her burger comes out, obviously reheated because two wasabi peas that she left on her old plate came back out in the same spot on her "new" plate, the mayo was glazed over like it had been sitting under a heat lamp while they microwaved her burger. So we ask for the manager: He comes over and doesn't offer to comp her dish for the trouble we went through to even get to sit down and eat. He says he can take 1/2 off the burger on the bill. I don't know, but where I'm from, if a guest has to continually send food back because its done super half ass the whole time, you Mr restaurant owner/manager comp that dish, yes you suck it up, because you sucked that night, so you take a loss. He would have lost probably what, a dollar? But no he chose to lose customers, so to the lady up the review line who said "get over yourself", I second that. We won't be back.

I went to PM one night with friends. I thought it was odd that they supposedly had the best burger but everything else was asian-inspired with a huge selection of sushi. I decided to go with the suggestion that my friends gave me. They told me I had to try the burger. So, instead of trying the sushi which also looked good I went with the burger. It was a substantial piece of meat for the burger. I ordered mine cooked medium well with no onions add bacon. Unfortunately, they left off my bacon but still ended up charging me for it. I didn't want to complain just because I hate complaining. I ordered the steak fries for my side. The burger was so big that I could only eat half of it but it was so good. Our server was friendly and mostly attentive. Could have been a little bit better. It was weird to see that all the employees were in regular clothes. I would definitely be back to try the sushi.

Creative Asian-inspired fusion cuisine - some surprisingly good new-age-esque dishes such as fritters with sweet and sour sauce, or curry potato lettuce wrap (though with plain fries). Not everything on the menu is a hit, but the mushu mushroom dish is certainly a delectable vegetarian delight. The restaurant itself looks like a house, but inside feels like a restaurant, with some TVs in one corner as well. Patio/outdoor seating is available. For more traditional Burmese/Thai/Southeast Asian cuisine, try the International Market restaurant across the street from PM -- though I hear the owner of PM is the son of the owner of International Market.

It was on December 10th 2014 12:00 AM, Yup they are open till 1:00. I wanted to celebrate my wife's birthday and I wanted to do it at 12:00 AM. We were very well greeted and the people here were very happy to take on my special requests. They arranged the cake for us with nice sushi and noodles. We just enjoyed our moments. This was my wife's first birthday with me and a beautiful moments of our life. Thanks to you all. They were pretty good on the food they promised. So ... 5 starts for all.....

I've been to PM so many times. Birthday parties (had mine here once) Sunday lunch, random weeknight sushi craving...but what won me over was the fact that I could get sushi late night, which I did not realize until this weekend. And here's the thing: restaurants that are open late need to realize that they still have to be nice to their customers no matter how late they come in. And PM was perfect. Our server was fun and attentive (and didn't even make fun of me for wanting steak fries and sushi, unlike my friends who laughed at me and my weird late-night craving). . I love the menu here since its ecclectic (sushi and Asian fusion or basics like burgers). I've had several of their rolls (I'm a basic spicy tuna lover) and their wraps and burger. Everything is very good. It really is the kind of place where everyone can find something to enjoy. I prefer lunches here and now late night, as during the usual dinner hours its packed with students (Belmont being oh, right there) but regardless of timing the staff here has always been great. Oh and as a side not, they have a lot of items available for vegans and gluten-free peeps (items are easily identified on the menu) so it really is a great place for one and all to sit and enjoy a good meal.

Whoa...did we eat in this place.... I went to PM this weekend with my wife, daughter, and two friends. We were all in Nashville for the weekend. PM was recommended by a local friend. Arnold Myint, of Top Chef fame, is the chef. It is supposed to ve "Asian-inspired", thai-fusion or something. It was outstanding. For the four and half of us, we ordered a bunch of small plates - probably four or five, then three sushi rolls, then "bi bim bap" (not sure why it was in quotes), and then some more sushi. We. Were. Stuffed. Could. Eat. No. Mas. Of the things we had, by far the best were the pot stickers, the calamari, and the "snake" sushi roll. (That one was the reason we ordered more - we go a second of it, along with something else.) The drinks were also pretty good. (I did not have one, but everyone else did. They liked the lemonade drink, whatever that was.) We called earlier in the day before going, and found out they did not take reservations. But, they told us there would likely be a wait between 7 and 9, though the wait would not be longer than 30 minutes. We got there at 6:40ish and were seated right away, though I think we got the last table. The place was packed by the time we left, around 9. Also, it's reasonably priced. For the four and half of us, with drinks, enough food to stuff ourselves, and some sorbet for our daughter (mango), the total check was only $160.

I would not recommend this place for most things. I came here on valentine's day and had the New York strip, my girlfriend had the panang. The steak was overcooked and soaked in sauce (mostly soy sauce). The panang was chunky and lacked flavor. Not sounding like a three star review? Well here's the catch: The sushi was some of the BEST I've ever had, and I've sampled sushi almost everywhere you can imagine, including Tokyo and Kyoto. If I had just come here and gotten Sushi I would have given a 5 star review hands down, but the other entrees were just flat out disappointing.

Great spot for lunch. Probably the best place to get a burger and sushi. They make a wasabi mayo, which is a must have on the burger... Go ahead and add some flavor to you life.

Not a bad option at all for late night cravings. The Thai wrap was pretty creative and fresh. Their steak fries are honestly good! I only wish that they don't close the sushi kitchen so early.

One of the best veggie burgers around WHEN it is cooked right. I've on multiple occasions had to send it back to be cooked all the way through it to have the grilled onions added when they've forgot to put them on when I've asked and even once when they delivered a cold burger to the table (not room temp, refrigerator cold). However the flavor and hope that one night will be the night I get a good one keeps bringing me back. The service is average to below average... They aren't in a hurry to bring you anything but aren't outright rude. Overall it's a pretty average experience.
(3)
Terry R.

Key words here are: average. ok. un-memorable. I ordered the chicken wings, which were ok. And the salmon bowl, it was ok. The ribs were better than average. Nothing really bad. Nothing really good. My suggestion is to go across the street and try out the market food there.

Let me just say this one of the wrist dining experiences I've had in Nashville. It all started from the minute we sat down. My husband and I for a early dinner. The restaurant had about 4 table sat. There was plenty of staff. We sat reviewed the menu then we continued to sit and wait and wait to be greater while the staff stood around and talked. Finally my husband waved at one of them. After another minute someone came over who looked like they just woke up. We ordered edamame and chicken on a stick. I could see the kitchen from my seat. I saw the edamame sit in the window and sit and sit. Four to five staff walked by no one brought it. Then our chicken went in the window it sat while people walked by. Then all of a sudden a food runner shows up and brings us our food. We ordered two sushi rolls a piece for dinner. We were also near the sushi bar and we saw two plates sit ready for pick up for over 15 minutes. So many staff walked by that its an embarrassment. We weren't sure it was our order. Then another runner appears out of nowhere and brings us a plate of sushi that had just been made but it wasn't ours. He goes back to the counter to see where are order is and brings us the plates that had been sitting there for ever! I was so upset that I really can't say anything nice about my meal since the sauce on top of the rolls had soaked all the rice at this point. Everything tasted watery. The worst part was the bill. It was $70 dollars because we had some drinks. I know I should have complained but it wasn't worth it. I never saw anyone that looked like a manager. I will not go back!!!!!

Always good sushi every time I have been. And the patio? Great. Broad menu helps anyone going along that doesn't have a taste for raw fish. Just go. And enjoy!

Best burger I have had in a long time! I had the standard PM burger and my brother let me have some of his snake sushi roll. Both were really good. My burger came with wonton chips and they were really good. 9 bucks for a burger isn't that bad. I'll go back if I ever go back to Nashville.

I agree with the general synopsis that PM is mostly flash and little substance, but I thought I would make a case for the three best features of the place (not including the lovely patio which is an obvious one). First of all, PM is one of the few places in town with a bartender who knows what I'm talking about when I order a Sidecar. It's my favorite drink, but I've gotten so tired of the confused looks by supposed professionals (brandy, triple sec, lemon juice - it's a classic, people!) that I usually settle for a whiskey sour (which should always be shaken - why do I have to tell you that too?). Secondly, the sweet potatoes are phenomenal. It's hard to find places that serve sweet potatoes at all, much less in thick, delicious pieces like these. They're salted and simple and served with a tasty dip. Third, PM offers an interesting selection of specialty drinks that can't be found at a lot of bars in their price range. Try the lychee martini if you get a chance.

As far as price, quality and service, this is my favorite sushi bar on the west side of town. I have tried other things on the menu but usually stick with the sushi. Great for lunch or dinner!

I've been mixed on PM for years, for a number of reasons which I'll get to shortly. However, I went again tonight and had to give it 4 stars (was thinking about 2 originally). Reasons I love PM: --It's on Belmont...which means, close to home, easily accessible, great people watching --In the spring and summer, they have 2 great patios--one out front, and a smaller deck on the side. Full food service on both. --They serve locally brewed Yazoo beer. Also have a full bar. --Food is pretty decent. I got the Thai Spicy Wrap tonight (with steak) and it was light and tasty! Sushi is worth a try too--not the best I've had in town, but far from the worst! --Easy to get together with friends and talk--it's not too loud, just casual hanging out. Reasons to not like PM: --Service is pretty terrible. But, on the positive side of service, all the waiters/waitresses are really nice. Just too laid back--not very attentive, and they have ALWAYS (including tonight) gotten my order wrong. Or forgotten something I ordered. Or overcharged my card (always check that--it's happened to me on a few occasions!) --Parking can be tough--really just anywhere on the street you can find, and depending on the day and time, that can be nearly impossible (it's right next to Belmont student center). If you decide to make it to PM, just don't expect stellar service and you should be fine!

black flies and sushi are a bad combination but good location, good pricing, and good sushi. The flies are all over the patio and are a long term issue.

PM is in one of the best locations in Nashville, right across the street from Belmont University and next to Bongo Java. It's an adorable little spot to meet up with your friends for a drink and some appetizers. The sushi is pretty good, nothing out of this world, but better than most spots in Nashville. The drinks are creative and well made, although not cheap. Hit it up during happy hour, and you'll be happier about it all. It can get pretty crowded at night, especially in the summer when the decks are pleasant.

I got two rolls: crunch shrimp and the nashville. The crunchy shrimp was 'aight and although the Nashville was certainly original--I'm not sure there was any special taste--it was in a word: bland. Ambiance was nice...if a bit frou frou. Prices range from $2-6 for apps and small plates to about $8 for sandwiches to the $20 range for some dishes. Generally in the $8-$12 range for food alone...depending on how much you spend on sushi rolls. We received pretty decent service and the waiter was quite nice. I give this place a 4.45 I'm looking to forward to coming back for happy hour to check it out again...

Food is great, beer selection is above average. Unfortunately the furniture makes you feel like you're in a chintzy, cheap restaurant. Very basic, borderline ugly tables and chairs. The half booths in the middle with ugly black pleather with exposed staples. The atmosphere doesn't do the menu justice.

Matthew S.

GREAT VIBE! Seriously, the vibe alone gives this place a fourth star. I love that they have small plates as well. It is like an Asian inspired tapas menu. Speaking of the menu, it is really very good, but far from exceptional. The prices are high, but not outrageous. The drinks are mixed well. I was pleasantly surprised with both my calamari and tofu being cooked perfectly. They so often go wrong. While I love the concept of outdoor eating, doing it here is difficult. There were a half a million flies all around this place. I don't know where they all come from, but they will not leave you alone while you are trying to eat. We all had to take turns eating our food so that one person could be flailing their arms wildly about the table to try and discourage the flies from enjoying our meal as much as we were trying to do. This would have bumped the star rating down to three but it wasn't their fault and we chose to sit outside. I would say the outside area is better to get drinks, but save the food for when you are on the inside. It is also right next to Bongo Java, which makes a great place to go after a nice meal.

I can't help but love this place. I've tried to hate it, especially when the service sucks (at a certain point it becomes laughably bad). So why the five stars? I never fail to get good food and as a pseudo-vegetarian this place gives me plenty of non-meaty choices. The Glass Noodle Pad Thai is delectable. The Thai wrap (with my choice of tofu) always satisfies as long as I remember that the chips are too salty and order a substitute. Recently, I tried the Angel Hair Salad and was delighted with the spicy goodness and the portion size. I've never had bad sushi there (slow, yes..bad, no). The Florida roll with it's combination of creamy avocado, crunchy shrimp and spicy mayo is so yummy sometimes I'll order two. Sometimes I'll even share. I totally dig the vibe of this place, especially now that it's a non-smoking venue. The covered porch is lively. Great for a mid-afternoon meal, as long as you don't mind the abbreviated lunch menu (no Pad Thai or Florida roll on it..doesn't seem fair, does it?) If only they could be as consistent with the service as they are with the food....

PM's is a great tasting Asian Fusion restaurant that's known primarily for it's sushi and it's fun dinner atmosphere, but there's a particular part of the day where the deals are at their best. Two words: Lunch special. You get to choose between two different sushi rolls, where I usually go with my usual California and Spicy Tuna, and you get eight of each! On top of that you get a salad and miso soup for a grand total of nine dollars. I mean, seriously, I can't think of a better offer. The fruit tea is excellent, so I'd recommend that as far as drinks go, and if it's dinner time, grab the snake roll. If it's warm out, use the patio, it's a great seating area. Especially if you get a table along the side, it offers some privacy if you're the only ones back there. If you don't feel like eating in, or out at PMs, you can call in your order and go pick it up. I don't know if many people know that or not, but it's pretty great for those nights you just want your sushi at home.

PM has been witness to many debaucherous evenings caused by yours truly and company (having a friend that lives next door has made PM a target). Most people come here for a meal, I go there for a meal and a few hours of beverages. I have tried their sushi, chicken and peanut sauce skewers, pot stickers, Thai wraps, and more, and have never been disappointed. I will say that if you spend enough time there your bill can add up, however, there are enough options on their menu to make it a moderately priced night. Their servers and bartenders are always friendly and the ambiance just cannot be beat. My only gripe, I wish their portions were bigger, but that's just my stomach talking.

Katherine M.

PM is a great spot. Don't expect the best meal of your life and you'll enjoy it. I had a tuna nori roll and it was nothing to write home about. The rice was mushy. But, they have great drinks and one of the best patios in Nashville. The bartenders treat you right and make drinks the way they ought to be - not packed with ice so that you get three sips, and strong!! The chicken Thai wraps are my favorite thing on the menu. They also have a lot of salads, my favorite is the iceberg wedge. Not as healthy as mixed spring greens, but it's very yummy! They have a lot of sushi rolls to choose from, but after my one bad experience with those, I'm steering clear of the sushi. The prices are normal for a restaurant of this caliber in Nashville. Not cheap, but won't break the bank. PM is the perfect spot for a girls' night out or dinner with friends.

I love PM and Arnold Myint. I love PM especially for its waitstaff who can suggest appropriate wines. To me PM has a casual feeling which some days I need. I'm a Nashvillian proud of our homeboy hero Arnold whose team just won right to continue on to next episode of Top Chef show in NYC with his corn tomato salad. I haven't been to his other spot, Suzy Wong's, yet, to experience but heard it's great too.

PM is good for a couple of reasons. They have a big eclectic menu with lots of different choices and most the dishes including the sushi are pretty tasty. They definitely have an amazing patio, which is probably the best thing they have going. The drinks are reasonable as well as the food prices and even the atmosphere on the inside is pretty fun. It is always fairly crowded (that was this summer even, so it might be worse now that belmont students are back) and the service is almost always pretty slow and unreliable. Overall it is a great casual place for sushi and asian american food and if you can sit on the patio its definitely a good time.

Neil V.

PM is kind of a trendy "belmont bar," but it's always been a pretty relaxed place to hang out for food and drinks. Every time i return, there are a few people i knew in college, so it has that Cheers feel to it for me. I dont eat sushi, but friends like it. The PM burger is very flavorful and the chicken sandwich is pretty good as well. Get the sweet potato fries, that is one of their specialties. Drinks are a little more expensive than they should be, but not too terrible overall.

I'd been meaning to try PM for quite some time, and faced with the need to entertain three out of town guests, all craving sushi, I took a chance on a Friday night. Blessedly, we managed immediate seating (the place was jumping) and were told at the host's stand that had we arrived five minutes earlier, would have been waiting over an hour for a table. Good thing I got a little lost on the way. Two of my friends spotted the Sumo Drink on the menu and shelled out $15 for their cocktails in a porcelain likeness of a sumo wrestler. Cute. My friend and I stuck with plain glasses for our $9 cocktails - I ordered a white sangria and my friend ordered a lychee lemonade cocktail, both of which were excellent. The service was decidedly slow, and for some reason the waitress couldn't grasp the concept that we wanted straws in our waters, but all things considered for a Friday night, she was very pleasant. We decided to all go in on a massive sushi order, and probably wound up with 9 or 10 rolls between the four of us. Everything was wonderful. I always lean toward spicy sushi, and am often disappointed when some sushi chefs squirt on a drizzle of Sriracha instead of making an actual spicy sauce, but I was not disappointed in the sauce at PM. I'd have to look at the menu again to tell you exactly what we got, but the Florida Roll was a definite standout. Between four people with more than one cocktail apiece, including two overpriced sumo glasses, a smattering of very satisfying sushi and an appetizer, our check came to $108. I would absolutely return, but the host's warning of very long waits scares me, especially because they don't take reservations.

Declan G.

The friends I always go to PM with won't like this review, because they're all pretty enthusiastic about it. But it's too trendy for me, and the dishes I've had there (tempura vegetables, mixed bean quesadilla, and roasted tomato soup) didn't quite work. The thai salsa didn't mesh well with the quesadilla, which didn't have the right ratio of beans to cheese, and had too many raw onions sprinkled on top for my taste. The roasted tomato soup sounds like it would be amazing, but after a few bites I felt like I was slurping straight tomato juice. The tempura vegetables were better, but I can only handle a limited amount of fried vegetables at one time. However... PM has delicious coffee that looks charming in their little white teacups. My group always seems to get this curly-haired male server who is really upbeat and attentive. And although I haven't had a chance to form an opinion on their rolls, the sushi bar is pretty cool-looking.

My fiance and I stopped in here for a drink. We were there for happy hour and the prices were good. We sat on the couch inside by the front window and just relaxed with our drinks. It was a very nice atmosphere and the service was good. We did not order any food, but we saw people around us order food and everything looked really good.

David S.

I can't lie and say that I don't bemoan the loss of Kote's that used to be in this space on Belmont. PM, however, is an entirely different restaurant concept with great Asian fusion and sushi. It also has the best hamburger in Nashville (according to the Nashville Scene). This isn't usually my type of cuisine, but I was happy with the meal I got at PM. It has a fairly extensive menu with small plates, large plates, salads, and sushi. Whew. A lot to get through in one sitting. I had the panko-crusted chicken that was good. There's lots more to try if you're after pad thai or peanut sauces or some curry. Sorry I'm not more adventurous, but at least PM has something for picky eaters. The service we had was fine, especially since we were a large group trying to eat in a hurry. The food came out of the kitchen very quickly. PM did frustrate one member of our party who was trying to order a specific gin. They do have a full bar, they just may not have every brand of liquor known to man.
(4)
Patrick R.

I have mixed feelings regarding PM. While the location is great and the sushi and tempura are pretty tasty, it isn't exactly cheap and the crowd often rubs me the wrong way. PM is an ultra-hip little spot that's walking distance from Belmont and a few other restaurants in the area. It tends to get pretty busy on weekends and late in the evening, and while their beer selection is decent, the prices are no better than your typical Nashville bar. Probably my favorite aspect about PM is the front dining area, which is somewhat like a massive pseudo-greenhouse. They have several large windows that they'll open when the weather is nice, and it's one of my favorite spots to dine on the West Side on warm summer nights. But if you're anything like me, you know that at some point a place is just too hip.

Christopher W.

I've heard quite a bit about PM and it's sushi but after dining there on a Thursday night, I don't see what the talk is about. First off, it's a very busy, social spot with a 20 minute wait on a Thursday at 6:30. Staff was friendly... hip, hospitable atmosphere, although very cramped and not the most comfortable tables to sit at. It is very much in the college scene, relatively cheap food and a young crowd. I was willing to put up with the hipsters, long wait and cramped space if it resulted in some good rolls... but it didn't. I can't even remember the three rolls I tried because they were so bland and void of any real flavor, nothing worth calling home about. Maybe I ordered the wrong rolls, but they were not even worth the 5 or 6 bucks that they cost. If you're looking for good sushi head to Virago, not even a debate. After that try Ru Sans. PM was a fun place to hang out but I don't see myself ever going back there unless invited by friends.

The hubs and I stopped in for dinner a couple weeks ago. Great location, nice decor. I suppose I had high expectations due to the whole Top Chef thing but I ended up disappointed. We were seated quickly at a table in the back of the restaurant. As we looked over the menu, the server came over and squatted down next to us, which I find odd. We asked her for recommendations and I don't think she had really tasted many of the items on the menu so she wasn't able to give us her thoughts. My husband had the duck spring rolls and duck wonton soup. The spring rolls were very greasy and he didn't finish them, which says a lot. The soup smelled strongly of duck, which would be fine except that it wasn't the most pleasant smell. I ordered the mushroom and vegetable moo shoo. The pancakes were thick, rubbery, and lacked any kind of flavor. The moo shoo itself was acceptable - if PF Chang's is your thing - it isn't my thing. We won't be going back and I don't really expect this restaurant to improve. In sum, service was way too casual and lacked knowledge of the menu and the food lacked a decent flavor profile.

I have been going to PM for years. It has always been known for bad service, but last night was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant period. I am in the service industry so I am very forgiving when it it comes to service, but our server was not only unhelpful in every way, she was down right rude. I asked her which or two wines that she preferred and she had zero to offer except for an eye roll. I was overly nice to her the entire meal and counted 8 times that I said thank you and got zero response. Not to mention that when our food hit the table we ordered another round of drinks that we did not receive until after we had finished eating. I have never complained about service to a manager before but I did last night. And NOTHING was done about it. The food was ok, but our server made our entire meal so uncomfortable and bad that I our night was ruined. The table next to us also complained about her and then she came out and confronted them about speaking to her manager. I will NEVER go to this establishment again.

Josh S.

This place is another example of a Nashville restaurants aiming high but landing somewhere in the middle. There were some OK twists on Asian cuisine. The food that I had was OK. The sushi was better than the apps and whatnot but one of the rolls I had was smothered in a mayo sauce and what appeared to be Sambal. It also had crispy fried shrimp in the middle. I will let everyone know that I am a complete and total whore for mayo, spicy things, and anything you can fry. So you can't really trust me on that one. That being said, I am tired of food that is so-so. Boring. I feel like Nash-Vegas is a wonderland of average and Pm fit that bill quite nicely. Atmosphere: cramped, cold, bleh. The bar looked cozy though..... And the dollar beer happy hour thing could have bumped the place up a star....think about it....cheap cold beer and sushi or Asian food can only be beaten by cheap cold beer while taking a warm shower....seriously...try it. It rocks. I'm rambling now. Bye.

Pong C.

Went to PM for lunch. While the space was quite handsome, it did not make up for the uninspired, ordinary food. The burger, which was highly recommended by the manager, fell short of its reputation as Nashville's best burger. I'd take one at Fat Moe's any day over PM's. The steak fries were a nice touch, but the washabi mayo concoction tasted like green mayo. Also tried some of PM's asian inspired fare, which made the burger seemed a lot better than it was because the asian items were pretty bad. Duck springrolls lacked duck and the sauces on the side were store bought saracha and hoisin sauce. The chicken satay was quite dry and hard to put down, but at least the peanut sauce rescued it. On the sushi front, there might be some finds, but the crispy shrimp roll was not it. Although PM should be commended for not loading up on the rice and messing up the rice:fish ratio, the crispy shrimp roll was filled mostly with panko bread crumbs... strange. On the brightside, the service was very good.

This place was totally good. The ambiance was cute and cozy. The chai tea pot was a little expensive at $7, but good. Miso soup was off the hizzook. Wild mushroom moo shoo was a little on the sweet side. Very nice local spot.

My favorite in town. The best burger I've had thus far in 24 years, great prices and a relaxed atmosphere. The burger is so good I actually haven't done the sushi yet. Also, the crab wontons are the jam!

People rave about this place and all its options but, all I have ever had there is the burger with wasabi mayo...make that extra wasabi mayo (for my fries.) I havnt been tempted to order anything else. Its a hip place with a great vibe in my favorite area of all of Nashville (Belmont and 12th South district) I love it.

One of the places we hit up on our long weekend in Nashville- this is apparently a regular hangout spot of the couple hosting us. Cute bar, good, friendly service. However, despite our friend's warning about the sushi not being good, we decided to try it anyway- it was so cheap, we couldn't resist (and for the record, we tried another sushi spot the next night with similar prices, but infinitely better quality). But one roll was bad, the other was absolutely inedible. Like it almost made me gag to have to swallow it, which I wouldn't have done had I realized my boyfriend had spit his into a napkin. The waiter at least tried it too and confirmed that it was really bad, but really, I don't think there's any excuse for carrying what could only have been bad crab I can't really comment more broadly than that- I could definitely see this being a great local hangout, particularly for the bar area up front, more so than the seating toward the back, but I'd be surprised to hear people came from other neighborhoods for this. Eat first and come here to drink

Fun place, great to go sit outside and have some drinks. It's in a fun neighborhood with all kinds of people which add to the ambience. If you like sushi, they've got some of the best around. Also, can't recommend the tuna tartare highly enough.

Located in a converted house on 12th Avenue, PM is a great place to meet with friends for drinks or for dinner. I love the atmosphere here. There are several distinct areas that feel tucked away and cozy. They've paid attention to making every inch of this place functional and interesting. My group sat at a high bar for dinner that had columns on either side and was connected to the drinks bar. Pretty cool. As for the menu, I kept it fairly simple with an Alaska roll, but was able to try the Curry Mussels and sweet potato fries (I really do have a thing for sweet potato fries, if you haven't noticed by now...) of my compatriots and both were really quite scrumptious. They've also got a patio which would be a great place to hang out. Prices seemed reasonable to me and our waiter was attentive and nice. Personal gripe: They don't take Discover, which automatically makes them lose a star in my book.

Pretty good sushi, great wraps, _amazing_ burger, cheap drinks, good service, and sweet atmosphere. Man, I just dig this joint. Unlike Jackson's or Rumba or even Fido, I never get tired of coming to this restaurant or sitting outside people watching. There are some really strange smoking rules for the patios that seem to change every week, but other than that I don't really have any qualms. I'm not kidding you about the burger. Bon apetit!

The service at PM is awesome, because everyone that works there is so nice! As far as the food goes, it is not Virago, but it is a reasonably priced Asian fusion restaurant. They have everything from rice bowls with duck to sushi. The sushi is moderately priced and is really good, try the tuna nori or the Nashville. The ambiance is pretty casual, perfect for college kids. For desert, try the tempura donut bites! They are so good and melt in your mouth!

This is one of my favorite college hang outs in the Belmont area. I think its a relaxing place go with a couple of friends when you wanna kick back and relax. They have a back couch area that i like to refer to as the "VIP" area. Whenever i go back to visit Nashville; I always make sure to stop by this place when I want to set a relaxing mood with my old friends.

I went when it first opened. The food was so-so. The service was just bad because the waitress took forever and pretty much didn't come back to the table. I went again last night and while the food was pretty good, the service was even worse than before. The waitress was just rude and did not provide good service. A large group right next to us with a different server came in after us, got their food, and finished eating before I even got my food. There were only four of us. The owner did not seem terribly sympathetic. My friends said the service is usually good but each time I've gone it's been bad! PM, please stop making excuses for your poor service and just fix it by getting better employees! The food is worth coming back for but the unwelcome feeling I get is not.

I like PM, they have good food, I especially like how you can order all different sorts of foods, like quesadillas and sushi and everything still somehow tastes good together. The sweet potato fries are literally heaven, chicken skewers are great, I haven't had a bad meal here ever, or left without being completely satisfied. They also have a solid drink selection, Lychee Martini me any day.
(4)
Mr. G.

Good food. Friendly staff (though their attire certainly needs an upgrade... dingy, baggy cutoff shorts and flip-flops are not appropriate in any service environment unless it's in Panama City). Comfortable surroundings. The sweet potato fries were really soggy and not enjoyable, but everything else we ate was good to very good. I felt the burger is over-hyped. It was a good burger, but definitely not worthy of the "best burger in the city" award. I do think you get what you pay for at PM, and in this day that's sayin' something. They just need a little polish and they could be an outstanding value.

I used to like PM a lot more a couple years ago... when it really did have a neighborhood feel to it. I guess it somewhat still does, but it seems like the people that go there got a lot more annoying. Their menu changes a lot because i think they struggle to figure out exactly what it is they want to do there. There used to be a woman bartender there, not sure if she is still there, but she was older and her drinks pretty much sucked.. I think i saw her put a sugar substitute into my mojito that contained 3 mint leaves. The grilled chicken sandwich is amazing though... and only costs $6 and that comes with fries. So thats actually a good deal, especially since it tastes so good. They also make this wasabi mayo thats an absolute must for your fries. The sushi is alright, but I think the best thing about PM is that i can walk there. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat/drink there. The outdoor patio is nice when the nights are warm.. and great for people watching on Belmont.

This is one of those restuarants that tries to do a lot of different kinds of Asian food. It actually works pretty well. Sushi is very fresh and well-presented. Thai rolls are excellent. Intriguing cocktails (the chai-tini was memorable). Expansive outdoor seating in the front, not sure where restaurant begins and sidewalk ends. Friendly, ernest waitstaff.

I've heard plenty raving about PM as this funky, pseudo-Asian restaurant that you just HAVE to visit. So two weeks ago on a Sunday night, I did. Were were immediately seated (which I hear is rare) on the porch, which would have been okay with me but was much too cold for my wife. They close if off and add heaters in the winter, but it was pretty drafty since the door was constantly opened with people leaving and those waiting to be seated. They didn't make a big deal about us moving tables, but we did have to wait a few minutes. No biggie. After seated, to my surprise it was half-price sake night. That's a win. Also, they have half-price drafts on some night if you "like" their Facebook page. It wasn't that night but we misheard and the waitress let our friend "like" the Facebook page on her phone and honored the deal when she didn't have to. That's how you impress, restaurants. I ordered 2 sushi rolls: a Philly because it's hard to do wrong, but has the potential to be really good, and the Nashville roll because my curiosity got the best of me. The idea of fried asparagus, ham, bacon and cream cheese in a roll was... interesting. Both were mediocre. I'm aware that this is hardly a purist sushi experience, but I'm not judging it from that perspective. I just generally didn't think much of it. It tasted very generic when I was hoping for something to stand out, as all the aforementioned raving suggested. On the other hand, my wife got a veggie burger with sweet potato fries and loved it. Our friend got the same with regular fries and couldn't stop talking about the wasabi mayo. I considered giving an extra star because of how pleased they were with their meals and because our server honored a deal she didn't have to, but I think to be fair I have to rate according to my personal experience. And I felt like for the price, my sushi, however non-traditional, just fell short of my expectations. I hope to return at some point and give PM another shot. That'll probably be on another half-price sake night. If nothing else, I thoroughly enjoyed my half-price sake.

This place is a definite go-to for me. I'd go into a long, drawn out essay about everything that I love on their menu, but I'll just leave you with the veggie burger and wine Wednesday. The burger is wonderul, and can be easily tailored to be gluten free or vegan. Actually, the entire menu is very vegetarian/vegan friendly as well. Also, all bottles of wine are half price on Wednesday (at least for now). I love places that can be a wonderful venue for a night out with friends or a seemingly awkward first date, and this is one of those places.

Marcia M.

I've been here twice in the last week and have ordered the very filling veggie burger ($9) each time. The mushrooms, onions, and other toppings really make this version stand out! Sweet potato fries and Wasbai peas make for delicious sides too! I tried out the Veggie Fritters ($5) for an appetizer and was not disappointed by these hush puppy inspired little bites. The Chinese Honey-Mustard sauce was the perfect pairing for dipping. It is very simple to eat Vegetarian/Vegan or Gluten-Free here as everything is denoted on the menu and the staff is always great when asked questions about special dietary restrictions too. This is a great spot for late night eats, happy hour, or dinner. TIP: The sushi menu and Tofu Thai Wrap are can't miss offerings too.

We were pointed in the direction of PM by a very animated (and drunk) local at a karaoke bar while we visited Nashville. He said it was a great place for food and especially late night drinks. When we finally headed over, we found it quite easily in a quaint little area with other little restaurants surrounding it. We were seated right away. At first I was excited about how "cheap" the sushi prices were then I got suspicious. Instead of ordering 3 rolls, I started with 2 to be sure I liked the sushi. I didn't. The tempura was tasteless, the presentation was boring and even the spicy mayo was blah. The raw fish tasted fine but there was something missing for me. The place is a hip little spot with colorful staff and they were nice enough but my sushi and my boyfriends PM Burger were not that great. I was disappointed that I didn't find it as good as my local friend talked it up to be. Maybe it was me. A lot of people seem to really enjoy this spot and I'm upset that I did not ...

PM is a fantastic restaurant located on Belmont. Their glass noodle pad thai is my favorite dish but I was surprised to find that their sushi is really good too. Try to sit on the porch when you go and definitely order the peanut fondue if you're with a group. Kudos to the chef for designing such a tasty menu.

PM was the first stop in the 2012 Yelp Drinks Week tour, and a good place to start. My husband joined in the fun; he has been to PM several times. I had not. We were warmly greeted by the hostess. It wasn't crowded, just enough people to make it lively. We were pleasantly surprised to find an acquaintance working the bar, so we grabbed a couple of seats there. After carefully reviewing the house specialty cocktails, I began to order a Blackberry Mojito. Sadly, mint was not in the house, so I chose the Lychee Lemonade based on a recommendation. It was good, but not all I would hope for in a lemonade-like cocktail. We had dinner plans, but decided to get a light app to accompany our beverages, and chose a favorite - edamame. It took quite a while for our small order to arrive. While it was quite fresh, and salted just right, the beans were dry. We agreed they should have been steamed just a little longer. Despite a few bumps in the road, the atmosphere was great, and I would strongly consider going back to try an entree.

PM offers delicious Asian inspired cuisine that had me at the Peking Duck spring rolls. Yum! My husband and I ventured there on a day date a couple weekends ago. We arrived absolutely starving and indulged in the Peking Duck spring rolls and the lump crab wontons for starters. They were both perfect in their delicious crispiness and filling as well. We could have probably shared one more appetizer and been satisfied, but oh no, we both ordered entrees that did not disappoint. I the San Francisco Roll and he the Spicy Thai Wrap. Both were amazing, but we were both overly stuffed by that point. I can't wait to go back again and do it all over again! The food? A+. The service? C. But the food is seriously so good, who cares about the service? Love PM no doubt.

Lyrad V.

This is one of our favorite local places to eat. The menu is eclectic with a good variety, but I always get sushi and maybe an appetizer or tapas type dish. Their sushi is some of the best in town. My husband always gets the wasabi burger. I like to dip his french fries in the wasabi mayo! The ambiance is great, I like sitting inside or out. We like to try to go early during the school year, because this place is always packed with college kids in the evenings. This place has one of my favorite patios in town. And they serve Shock Top, so that's a bonus for me!

Michael G.

Place is the bomb. Best prices for the quality. The sushi pizza is epic. The crab fried rice is also amazing. If you love Asian fusion.... This place is your go-to. For rolls of sushi the prices are great but if you get the main dishes, expect higher prices 15 and up. Great service too.

Cole H.

Update: This has place has gone way down hill. They're service has been consistently bad and they have changed the ingredients on some of their dishes and it didn't work out in the dish's favor. Go back to the way things were with great food and crappy service only sometimes. Old Review: I give this place 4 stars because their food is amazing. It doesn't get 5 stars because their service is hit or miss sometimes, mostly good though. I also tried to get the Pad Thai with beef one time and they charge me an arbitrary $4 extra. Beef is cheaper than shrimp, come on guys! A- Recommendations: Make beef pad thai an option.

Meghan E.

I try keep these reviews mostly about the food, which was great, and just consider the service. There would have been one less star in this case. You would think being so close to 2 universities on a Saturday would call for more staff throughout the day, but there was not. What staff was overstressed. But, the food was excellent, and brought out as it came by our request. Similar in nature to Suzy Wong's, but with a more serious and traditional attitude. The crab wontons are great, large chunks of crab, and the sushi is fresh.

Carissa O.

Meh. Average. I wanted it to be better, especially because it isn't cheap. The reason I would go back would be the sushi, it was slightly above average. Good service. No convenient parking when we went.

Go elsewhere for sushi. If your reservation is nonconsensual, make sure to only order cooked fish. Bad fish here had been known to give norovirus. The burger is decent? Too bad the wasabi mayo on it is weaksauce.

Pon S.

Went with my sisters and loved what I saw on the menu. I had the street fare beef pho. It was full of meat and noodles, smaller portion size then what I would get at a pho place but still not bad. The broth wasn't very tasty, a little bland but adding lime, siracha, and hoison sauce helped. It was okay. My sisters had the PM burger and she said it was okay. She ordered it medium well but it came out medium almost med rare. Service was not that great. They kinda get you what you order and that's it. Our server didn't really ask us if our food was good or not. Great location though.

Aria T.

Every time I come in here, I feel as if I must walk on eggshells around the moody, bratty staff. Why would I need to wait on the wait staff? The food is mostly crappy. Right across the street is an authentic Asian market and Thai restaurant-- go there instead. Also, be prepared to pay for what you order, whether you like the dish or not. I was told that even though I took one bite of my food and didn't like it, I would have to pay for it because "salmon is expensive". What kind of white trash place is this? The food is way too overpriced to be talking about how much the run-of-the-mill salmon costs. I really try to support local restaurants over chains, but this is ridiculous. Never going back. Please get over yourself, Nashville.

Susan D.

I went during Restaurant week in Nashville be only ended up ordering from their sushi menu. I like basic rolls so I tried their vegetable and PM roll, both of which were fine but nothing special. I like Koi's vegetable roll better. Their tofu lettuce wraps tasted like hash browns and were nothing special. My friends ordered the PM burger and they loved it. I tasted one and it was very good. Their steak fries and wonton chips are also tasty. My other friend really liked their Snake roll too. Our server was terrible but I won't hold that against them as my friend said their service is normally great and the Assistant Manager Chris made it up to us with a $25 gift card and seemed to be genuinely embarrassed by our inept server who I highly doubt will be around there long.

Best Sushi experience in Nashville! We've been to a couple other sushi spots but PM left us excited to come back. What made our experience incredible? First, the service. We were seated quickly, with options. Our server was attentive, engaging and intuitive. She was professional, never rushed us and kept on eye on our table while letting us enjoy our conversation. This was the attitude of all the staff we interacted with. Smaller things, table was cleared after our meal, extra wasabi was brought as soon as we asked for it and server welcomed our questions. Second, menu. The prices were fair, including their more unique creations, our sushi rolls were $4, $5 and $9. We luckily dined during 2 for 1 well drinks happy hour, where no corners were cut (drinks were not watered down, which can be typical for these types of happy hour). The food was delicious, overall. We were less than thrilled with the PM roll, but more because of our personal taste vs. the quality of the it. However, the San Francisco roll was great! The reasons we didn't give it five stars: our table did not have any direct lighting. As the sun set, the lack of lighting became obvious and a little distracting. The room itself seemed a little disjointed, placement of tables and chairs seemed unintentional which messy (NOT dirty, just messy). We've only been there once but plan to come back soon.

Very very good. I was impressed. As a die hard fan of another popular sushi restaurant (that shall remain nameless), I can say that I will definitely be back. The San Francisco roll was great!!!

Liz D.

I don't really go to PM by choice. I'm frequently disappointed by the food- it's not quite asian enough to get those fresh tangy flavors I'm used to, but it's not american either. It's one of those fusion places that just doesn't get the balance right. The flavors in the meats and veggies are just toned down and too sweet compared to true asian cuisine. I had a sushi pizza once and that was just strange. Cheese should be used very sparingly or not at all in asian food. One way or another, Arnold, please choose! Otherwise, I will just stick to my fave thai sushi places around town.

OK so in my last review I think I was a little harsh. I had a great time at PM the other night (and remembered how I have so many times before). Last Saturday we had a group of 14 looking to celebrate. The guest of honor requested PM, but they don't take reservations, so we were a little nervous. I called ahead about an hour before we were set to meet there and the woman on the phone said that while they had a second group of 14 set to arrive 30 minutes before us, they could try to save us two tables next to each other - one for 6 and one for 8. Being a place that doesn't do reservations and being that it was a Saturday night and being that we were a gibungo group, I was really impressed that they took all of this in stride. The food was great that night and I remembered why we keep going back. That being said, I am sticking with 4 instead of bumping PM up to 5 this time around because our waitress was a bit...um...sour. She wasn't very attentive or friendly and a friend had an issue with requesting a salad as an appetizer but never getting it. And another friend not getting the correct drink. We still all had a great time!

I have been here twice, but I don't know if I'll be back again. The first time I went, I got the San Francisco roll and some salmon nigiri. Both were very fresh and delicious, and the salmon was melt-in-your mouth good. However, the service was not up to par. Our waiter was rather unfriendly and only came to our table twice after we received the food - once to ask how it was and fill up our water glasses, and a second time to give us our check. There was also a hostess wearing boots with huge heels, and every time she walked past our table, she made a loud clicking sound with them that was almost comical - she sounded like a Clydesdale horse! The second time around, I ordered sushi again, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first time. We had another hipster asshole waiter who didn't flash us one smile and barely paid attention to us. Like, aren't you working for tips, dude? I don't know if it was us (we're a gay couple and very far from the usual trendy folks who frequent the restaurant) and he was discriminating, or the whole "aloof waiter" is an actual thing. I dunno, no one there seems to actually care about their job - they're all just flirting and talking with each other the entire time. The ONLY reason I'll probably go back is because sometimes I just really want late-night sushi. :(

Kristin Marie S.

PM has a wasabi mayo burger. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Nashville! PM is a standby for us. I like sushi, my mantoy does not. Does PM offer good, not the best, but good sushi, yes indeedy! The spicy tuna is almost too spicy, but I still keep ordering it. The mantoy gets the burger and it's delish, I've tasted it. Yummo. I never get the entrees because eh, the pad thai is a little pricey. Hey with International Market across the street, do I need PM's $17 pad thai? No. I do get the small plates and tom kha soup and I am always satisfied. The service has been great, the drinks refreshing, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic and the atmosphere a-ok. The decor is definitely a reflection of the fusion. As for the vegans, there are options but it's not great, salad, edamame, wasabi peas, sides, etc. There isn't a traditional entree. I am excited to try A-Myint's newest vegan venture at the farmer's market. (FYI, I was vegan, now not, but still eat it.) So all in all, I am never disappointed but I do tend to order the same things. Take that for what it's worth.

Michelle W.

Let me start by saying that I have been a big fan of PM for many years. I've been going here since I moved to Nashville in 2005. Tonight I had the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. Service was slow, but food was tasty as usual. While clearing our dishes the waitress spilled a full ramiken of soy sauce all over my brand new leather coat (literally my first time wearing it) and my friend's gray wool coat. She apologized but didn't offer to comp the bill or send the manager over. After we asked to speak to the manager he came over. I believe his name is Pyro, but I might have heard him wrong. He didn't offer to comp our meals or pay for dry cleaning. He apologized and asked what we wanted. After asking for dry cleaning to be paid for or at least comp'd meals, he agreed only to comp the meals. The waitress then returned to the table with a third friend's bill that we were previously going to pay for because it was her birthday and said that they couldn't comp her food because it was only the two of us who got spilled on. This horrendous customer service is ridiculous. I am not usually one to complain but I was shocked at how badly we were treated. I won't be returning to PM for a long long time, if at all.

Keith B.

Birthday dinner tonight was an adventure. The food was great but the service was horrible. It started with us waiting at the table with menus for about 15 minutes and NOONE acknowledged us until we asked if someone could take our drink/meal orders. Our table of four each ordered salads or sushi and then our meals. One salad came and we had to ask for the other one. The sushi was sitting on the counter while many servers looked at it but didn't bother to do anything. So we get one salad and sushi at the same time as our meal. When we said something to the not very helpful manager he proceeded to tell us "well most of the time sushi comes out with the meal".... Usually salads and sushi comes before the meal. We saw our server about three time and had to stop/ask for him two of those times. Probably our last visit to PM and really hate that because the food is really good! I just cannot overlook that bad service and non interested management.

Per usual, PM was delicious! Their sushi is sooo great, their Pad Thai omelets are out of this world and the atmosphere is very fun and inviting. Definitely a place to check out if you love Asian cuisine!

Janet Y.

With a great location and an even cooler vibe inside, I wanted to like PM a lot more than I did. The menu items all seemed interesting, but I didn't feel like the food really delivered up to its expectations. My friend and I ordered a few shared plates. We got the coconut calamari, the peking duck spring rolls, pork ribs, and some sushi. I thought the sushi was fresh, but nothing extraordinary. The calamari was good, but a little on the greasy side. The spring rolls seemed a little overcooked and overpriced. The pork ribs were probably my favorite. They had a lot of flavor, and the meat easily fell off the bone. While the servers/greeters seemed nice and friendly, I found the service, overall, to be a little slow. I don't think I've ruled this place out yet though. I'll likely give it another try, and see if my mind can be changed. :)

PM is one of my favorite little places to eat in Nashville, esp if it is later at night. PM is located right outside Belmont University so it is a major hang out of college students. My favorite type of places to eat at are ethnic food places, especially fusion food!! (Side note: go to Dallas and eat at Stephan Pyles Restaurant. This just might be my favorite restaurant in the world. He is a big pioneer of the fusion food movement 30 years ago.) PM is a fusion food place. What I like about PM is it's style. PM is located in an early 20th century house. The tables are small but comfortable. They have an outside porch that is great during warm weather months. Their coffee is outstanding so this is a good place to go if you want to meet up with people and sip java. To be totally honest their sushi is very, very average. What I mean is forgettable. Don't bother with the sushi here. What you need to order and the reason why this place gets 5 stars is because of their veggie burger. Ohmylawdinheaven. It doesn't matter if veggie burgers aren't your thing. This veggie burger is like nothing you have ever put in your mouth. When you order it ask for sauteed mushrooms and onions. Ridiculous. Oh and another reason why I like PM is that they have steak fries. Very few restaurants have steak fries because the are more expensive. PM's menu has a lot of variety and most everything on it is good save for the sushi. They have a lot of gluten free options too which is awesome.

Michelle P.

PM is consistent. The sushi at one point was really great but it hasn't been so good lately. The burger is GREAT! I try to stick with the appetizers which are portioned well and moderately priced. The drinks are stiff and always good. My advice is to pick the right time to go. They have added more space but for some reason all the college kids being their entire families that come to visit on the most busy weekend days. I am a local now so I try as much to avoid a heavy college crowd but I make my way over that way from time to time.

Went here with a few friends for a birthday dinner a little while back, and had an outstanding experience. Even with a largish group, they were able to seat us quickly without a reservation. Oh - and on Wednesdays they have half price bottles of wine, always a nice bonus. For starters, our group had BBQ Tempura Pickles, Potstickers, and a Seaweed Salad. The Potstickers and Seaweed Salad were great, but no different from what you'd find in a typical Asian restaurant. The Tempura Pickles were different and amazing though! They were spicy and came with spicy mayo, and it was a nice twist on a traditional southern comfort food. We shared several sushi rolls - I don't remember all of them, but I know we got the Rainbow, Snake, Dragon, and some others. The Snake was the real standout of the group. It was all terrific though, and we were seated right next to the sushi chefs and got to see them make it all. It's been the best sushi I've had so far living in Nashville (although I still haven't been to see the sushi nazi in downtown). For dessert, we shared brownie bites that were dipped in tempura batter and fried, then topped with powdered sugar. Wow, talk about sugar overload. It was tasty, but a little bit much. Overall, a great restaurant, with good service, and the price is definitely reasonable. I would recommend.

PM is always a go to place for my boyfriend and I as we work in the restaurant industry and by the time we get off work everything else is closed. Our favorite dish is the lump crab fried rice, which is big enough to share and SO delicious! I also love that they have vegetarian dumplings! Food-wise PM is a 5 but I rated a 4 only because typically when we eat there service is slow and waiters aren't the most attentive. But overall we love it!

Rachel P.

This location is great, we sat outside on their porch because it was a lovely day and just enjoyed all the action going on around us. Good beer selection, sushi was decent and my friends split a burger they thought was delicious. When we left we noticed 80% of the people eating were having a burger so it must be one of the specialities. The staff was wonderful, very attentive and super sweet. Loved it!

College area, college slop for food. This spot was super popular only because it was the only place within a 10 mile radius that had people of the same age as clientele. Terrible food, microwaved potstickers. Over priced ice-filled bevis and really slow service. *Suggestion: Across the street there is an asian market, but what you need to make your own Pan-asian treats and make it at home.

Really, the sushi is just okay to me . . . haven't had anything here that has stood out above the rest. But, the burgers...all of them, even the chicken and veggie burger, are phenomenal. The buns are toasted, the patties are marinated in this delicious sauce, they have the perfect proportions and the fries (which are also tasty) come with a side of wasabi mayo. YUM. I also like the vibe of the place and have had excellent service every time I've been here.

I'm new to sushi, but my girlfriend insisted that this place would convert me to a sushi lover. I always hate to say when she is right....but well, she was. Came a little before the evening rush and were served really quickly. The food: Potstickers, Nashville Roll and Florida Roll. All good choices. I am definetly a fan now and will most likely be a frequent visitor.

Cute neighborhood adjacent to Belmont. Nice covered patio area in the front to enjoy the warm weather. Service was fine, very friendly. We had the crab wontons, which were just okay for me - like deep fried crab pierogies. The sushi was edible, that's about it. Seriously, I've had better sushi in West Virginia, and that's not just one of my crappy jokes. I will say that if you are someone who "looooooves sushi" but has never eaten an actual sushi roll in your life, you will find the menu adequate, as there are plenty of deep fried rolls, and rolls containing only cooked meat. The Nashville even has ham, bacon, cream cheese and asparagus in it. I doubt I'll be back of my own choice - too many other places to explore.

A generous two stars. Chick Fil-A has better sandwiches than what you'll get here. I don't see the point in an Asian food place keeping late hours if you can't get sushi after 10pm. Anyway I figured I couldn't go wrong, what with all the good reviews being yelped. The waiter was friendly, the atmosphere relaxed. Paid three bucks for a cup of coffee that never got refilled, and when I asked for a refill, my response from the waiter was "We just ran out of that coffee" while handing me my check. Apparently making more coffee for their customers here is not part of the deal. So one star for atmosphere, and one for courtesy. Much to be desired in the way of service, quality, and selection IMHO. I guess I'm not as lucky as the other reviewers.

Great service and tasty food made our PM experience very enjoyable. Our server Kaitlin was an absolute doll. She gave very honest and helpful recommendations, and she was very fun to talk to ! We ordered the gyoza dumplings and mee krob chicken bites to start, followed by the spicy tuna and eels rolls. Everything was very fresh, not overly salted or anything. We left with a pleasant satiated feeling, not greasy or heavy. And the price was reasonable. The aforementioned plus a 9oz sake came to less than $40. I will definitely return !

If i could give it zero stars I would. The "steamed" pork roll, which came in a nice little dim sum container was MICROWAVED. The container had no traces of steaming, while the pork roll had a boiling hot center and a oddly hard and squishy dough that was room temperature. Additionally, the pork center was pea sized compared to the inedible dough surrounding it. The "pint" draft of Kirin Ichiban i ordered was only filled to about 12 oz. and was WARM! The shrimp tempura roll was mostly rice with a tiny, tiny piece of cold shrimp tempura that was definitely cooked earlier in the night. The amount of tuna in the spicy tuna roll was dwarfed by the cucumber next to it, while all of the contents were less than the rice surrounding it. This was by far the worst sushi i have had in my life. When we told the waitress about these problems, she apologized yet gave us the full check. I would have had a far better quality meal at taco bell! Ridiculous.

Overall I liked this place a lot. I had the green curry mussels, which were an interesting combination. It was good, but not as good as I had hoped it would be. My friend had the burger, which I had a bite of (of course) and it was pretty delicious. The meat was cooked just right, it was juicy and well seasoned. I would recommend ordering this. We also split the duck spring rolls, which I didn't think were anything to write home about. Wish I had tried those sweet potato fries - if I end up back here, I definitely will. I enjoyed the outdoor patio and dining, but the place felt a bit like somewhere to see and be seen, but it could have just been the crowd that night.

This place is schizophrenic. I have had anywhere from 2-4.5 star meals here. The sushi is really hit or miss. When it's on, it is great. When it's off, it's just adequate. Burger is outstanding. Peanut Chicken Penang is also very good. Service is always terrible but for whatever reason, I don't mind it here as much as I do other places. Worth a go for sure.

1. Explore the sake and cocktail list. I do like me some of that Sho Chiku Bai. They've got some interesting high-gravity beers, but the cocktails are where it's at. 2. Don't bother with the sushi. It tastes fine, but when the nearest salty drink is 450 miles away, why mess with it? Go to Seattle or San Francisco, all right? 3. It's true what they say about the sweet potato fries. 4. The burger, much ballyhooed before the Great Nashville Beef Awakening blossomed a couple years ago, will disappoint you.

They've got a great burger that'll get you in the door and wanna come back. The rest of the menu doesn't have the same appeal. The sushi is edible... I'm trying not to be brutal or overly harsh. It's a club scene restaurant. The kinda place that loud young obnoxious kids love. The menu is priced according to the crowd that it brings in, and not priced by the value of the ingredients or overhead costs. A lot of students with rich parents love coming to this place. And if I were the owner, I would love to take their money too. College students determine the food they like as if they had a rubber eraser as a tongue. So if you can make the food look beautiful, then they will believe that it tastes beautiful... and don't forget that the dish has to have a really fancy description. You only need 3 taste buds to enjoy the food here: Sweet, Salty, and Fatty.

Maybe I'll update this review when I get better service. How long does it take to get a coke on an OK-busy Sunday? 15 minutes. I love the San Francisco, Florida, and Spider roll though, those are definitely my favorite in that order! Be sure to order some Sweet Potato Fries as well. Yum! The patio is a great place to sit if you're okay with smokers. Our waiter wasn't attentive whatsoever, nor did he ever ask us any questions or gave us a chance to ask hIm any question. OH! isn't it funny how two tables that came in after us received their sushi before us? He obviously didn't put in our order before he put their's in. Not cool.

Things I love about PM (and I think you will too).... -The cocktail menu is creative & tasty. Try something new and you won't be dissapointed -The zesty ginger dressing would make cardboard taste good. -You can bring your dog with you (on the patio only of course). They even have a dog bowl for watering your pooch. -The Crab Wontons are unparrelled. They are the absolute best I've ever had. The only suggestion I would make is maaaaaaybe nice happy hour special with a few small plates items at a stightly cheaper price? That would rock.

TL;DR - don't eat the sushi, get the burger. Read on for more... This place is situated in a really nice location in a great building. Huge patio, cozy indoor area with exposed brick and a great casual atmosphere. I feel like it's great for dates and nights out with the ladies. That being said, my brother and I went here because he's the Nashville resident and I'm the nerdy amateur foodie from California. We started off with the duck egg rolls per a quick tip and they were good. I think I would have like the duck cooked in fat a bit more, but they were satisfying. Loved the sauces, especially the spicy one. It's a nice break from the sweet chili sauce usually offered with egg rolls. We also had the edamame which was just OK. I'm used to boiling them in salt water, but our serving was kind of dry with salt tossed onto them. Then I had the seaweed salad, which is a favorite of mine in korean banchan. Pretty good with the cukes providing some crunch. We ordered 3 sushi rolls and the burger. The sushi was just meh. I told my brother it was like sushi baby food. Bland with no outstanding flavors. Even the wasabi didn't have a huge punch. The burger was outstanding, though paying extra for shredded cheese is a bit odd and the cheddar wasn't as sharp as I would have liked. The meat was great. The bun perfect. The wasabi-mayo was a bit weak, but the burger is the star. I think I would have liked them to assemble it into a more organized burger, but it's still great. I had a side of the wonton chips and I think if they were rolled a bit thinner, the chips would have had a lighter taste. No sauce or condiments for them. Not even any salt. This place has a lot of potential, but maybe it was an off night? I just thought it was OK. Maybe if I didn't have any sushi it might be 4 stars, but seems it is a solid 3. Apparently a 3 with a longer than usual review from me. Note #1: I sort of cringed at the prices of the main plates, but that's because bibimbap from ktown is about $10 with a ton of banchan. Note #2: I just realized this was another restaurant owned by Arnold Myint which it now sort of makes sense since I had a similar experience at Suzy Wong's.

I went for some late night drinks with my girlfriend on Monday. It was just what we were looking for... something off the beaten path, but still a 'real' place to get drinks. They have great selection (including sake and locally brewed Yazoo! beers) and nightly deals/happy hours to help keep prices low. I didn't get the chance to eat the food, but if you're looking for somewhere to go out on a weeknight that won't feel empty or tacky check out PM.

Jay W.

We only ordered some starters and sake. BBQ bao bun is definitely store bought. Gyoza is the same thing, in fact, I can even name the brand of gyoza PM uses. It can be bought in local Korean supermarket easily. IMHO, it's a big no-no to serve packaged food in restaurant. Do NOT plan to go back there.

Becca G.

I like the food at PM, I like the outdoor seating, I like the drink menu, I like the buzz of 20-somethings in the air, and I like that they scare people away with long wait times so I can get seated faster. PM is my favorite place to go on a Friday night when the weather is warm and I feel like wearing something funky and getting some solid sushi. I stick with the seaweed salad, Florida roll, and Snake roll which are super yum. I also highly recommend the burger, duck spring rolls, and the calamari. This is not the best sushi I've ever had, but the whole experience and the extensive and creative drink menu make it worth the wait. Overall I would be happy with fewer Belmont wannabe-hipsters, a larger bar/patio, and some better servers. The guy with the curly hair is awesome and has been there for years, but some of the others are more into themselves than serving you. If you have a really large crowd, are over 40, don't like to wait, have kids, and want a quiet dinner then head somewhere else. If you're young, social, like to drink and are into fusion food then come on down. PM always has a buzz around it that energizes my night and gets me going. I like the vibes.

Big B.

Overrated. Went there on a double date and ended up spending $60 per couple. We both agreed that we would not go back. 1. The Sushi was NOT good at all, and I'm not living on a coast right now. 2. Very pricey for what you get. 3. Our waitress was so-so. My overall impression is that this is a hip place to go. And people who want to be on "the scene" will put up with the mediocre and pricey food.

Susan S.

Overpriced for mediocre food, inattentive service, and small portion. I ordered a tuna salad for take away, listed online menu for $11, but when I arrived for pick up they charged me $18. It was a side salad serving size and did not have any special ingredients or unique flavors to warrant the expensive price. Not my first time at PM but certainly my last.

Remember that song, "Where have all the cowboys gone?" PM could do a little remix action, replacing "cowboys" with "servers". What have I got to do to get an after work libation, dog? PM has always been a regular of mine (note I still give 3 stars) but contemplating tripping a server, "dropping a glass", or perhaps pulling down my shirt to get a little table time is an experience I can leave on the waiting list. For years, I've enjoyed eating here, but friends and I have had this experience several times over the past few months. It says something that we're still going back, however. I'm going to give it one more time (kinda like a bad breakup kind of mentality... "Maybe they've changed...") and if I can't get a drink or menu up in hurrrrrr, well, there's plenty other fish in the sea. Uhhh, errr... I mean restaurants.

Went to PM for dinner. The downside to the place is that its very crowded and a bit loud. The parking, as others have mentioned is pretty rough because its all street parking. On other Yelp recommendations I ordered the Burger and I have to say I was very surprised at how good it was. The thing that sets it apart, according to our waiter is a Chili glaze they put on it. This in combination with the Wasabi Mayo was very good. My girlfriend and I tried some Sushi as well, but wasn't really impressed. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with it, it just didn't stand out as anything extraordinary. I would certainly go back for the Burger though.

Had the Thai Chicken Wrap this weekend and it was great. Ordered a bloody mary that I didn't really care for. Way too sweet for my tastes. I'm more of a zing zang guy! Who Dat! Can't wait for the weather to cool off where I can sit on the patio and enjoy the great outdoors.

I have probably been to PM a dozen times and one thing I can say for it is that it's consistent. The food is always good, the service is usually friendly, and the wait is usually short (even when they are busy). I really enjoy the burgers, the Sushi Pizza or the nachos. All of their sushi selections are good and relatively inexpensive. This has become one of my go-to places in Nashville simply because I can always count on it being good.

mumin k.

the only good thing about PM is their wonderful patio .. when the weather is nice, i can not resist going to PM but the food here continues to disappoint me. on my most recent visit, I had 9 piece chef's choice sashimi and my sashimi did not have a bit of a taste. My review is actually prompted by my upset stomach following my 9 pc sashimi earlier tonight. So the only reason I give PM 2 stars is because of their patio. I will continue to go here but only to have wine in their wonderful patio. No more sushi/food here.

Brian N.

I went to PM a number of times a while back, and had always been put off by the service. I thought the waiters were unreasonably rude and unhelpful. A friend of mine dragged me back there recently, though, and I LOVED it. The food is excellent, and the service was much improved, although still not spectacular. I've been back several times since then, and will continue to go, for the food, though, NOT the service.

When the weather gets warm, you know what Nashvilleans want? A restaurant with a patio! And if the place also serves decent food and drinks? Well that's just a bonus! Thankfully, PM tics all the above boxes. I admit, I remember back in the day when it was Arnold Myint's only restaurant. Back then it was one of my favorite places in town. I loved the fresh take on Asian flavors, and its greatest appeal to me was the abundance of small plates that can easily make up a filling and well-rounded meal when eaten in combination with one another. The much lauded burger was really good (though the fries were crappy), and this was my go-to place. But. Then for some reason, service and food quality seemed to go down, and after one particularly underwhelming (and when thinking about the sushi, downright unappetizing) meal, my husband and I abandoned PM and instead devoted ourselves to Suzy Wong's. Still, the patio at PM beckoned us as the arrival of Spring enticed us with the prospect of al fresco dining. I called ahead to make sure our pups would also be welcome--which they are (the woman seemed surprised that I would even ask)--and then our little family of four headed over. We did have to wait for about 30 minutes for a table on Friday night, but that is only because we had to sit outside with our dogs. The atmosphere was lively and everyone seemed to be having a good time, except for our waitress, who was a bit surly when we were finally seated. Don't know what that was about, but her mood did improve as the night went on. She also didn't seem put off that my husband and I just wanted to share a bunch of small plates rather than order mains. What can I say except that after a one year absence on our part, the food was even better than we remembered it. The pickle chips and duck spring rolls (two of our favorites) were amazing, and the chicken peanut salad that we split was also super refreshing and tasty. Not only would we order all of these again, we're trying to think of the next chance when we can return and do so. Also, I got a gimlet of some sort, which was like the most delicious lemonade you have ever had. It may have been a tad pricey at $9 but it was so good. The thing I love about PM is that the prices really do seem reasonable given the portions and the quality of the food. The one notable exception is the sushi, which just really isn't Arnold's forte. The fish always seems hacked apart by shoddy knife work, and it's just not that tasty... Stick to the warm food options (or the salads) and you'll be a happy camper as you dine in style. Another added bonus to this place (as well as Suzy Wong's) is that there are plenty of tasty options for people on restricted diets. Not only are there tons of vegetarian friendly plates, there are also many vegan and gluten-free ones too.

While I agree with Becca about the burger....the atmosphere, the staff, and the clientele I could care less for... Let's go back to the burger for a minute...voted best burger by the Nashville Scene...and for good reason. It's not your dad's burger...think more refined flavors with a sweat chili sauce finish and wasabi mayo on the side. The sauce kind of overcooks the burger...which is almost inexcusable...I like my burgers medium and it usually comes out well done...ask for it rare and I'm sure it'll come out medium.

Possible explanations for what PM stands for: Perfect Meat. People Meet. Partially Multicultural. Pooping Monkey. Just thinking. I met a blind date here. She wasn't really blind. So maybe I should have worn pants. Hindsight = 20/20. This place is very popular with college students. I was there on a Saturday night, and it was packed. Standing room only at the bar in the front. A short wait, then we were seated. It's loud in here when it's crowded. The atmosphere is very casual, as is the wait staff. They're super friendly and helpful in choosing your dish. For the menu, it's quite a neat mix. Think international dishes with a southern flair. I've always wanted to order a "seaweed salad" or an "east meets wedge salad" (the latter includes wasabi blue cheese, bacon, red onion, and crispy noodles). I didn't want to mispronounce what I was ordering in front of my date, so I did the ole (point to the menu), "I'll try this" routine. I can't even remember what I ordered. But it was tasty. Just as fulfilling as the conversation with my blind date. Again, she wasn't really blind. She ordered some sushi. I'm told it was excellent. I regret not trying the gyozas. I shall definitely return soon to taste those suckers. All in all this is a cool place to hang out. Just don't expect it to be a relaxing experience, with the noise and crowd.

As a former Belmont University attendee, PM was the place to dine and drink...and walk back onto our zero-tolerance campus drunk (and hope to stay under the radar). Now being a big girl and able to visit Nashville on my own accord, PM is still the casual place to come back to and have a meal and a cocktail. They have a cool Asian inspired menu, with crab pot stickers (which are crabby and creamy and delicious!), thai peanut chicken wraps, and sushi sushi sushi! All the food I've ever had there was pretty tasty, as well as some of their cocktails; in particular, the chai-tini. I am a HUGE fan. But watch out, those chai-tinis might burn a hole in your pocket...3 drinks and 30 dollars later, you might be a little low on moolah. PM is almost always busy, and the servers handle it pretty well. The bartenders are friendly and will sit down with you and tell you about their tattoos. And when you're well on your way to drunk, tattoo tales are the cat's pajamas. Lemme tell ya. So if you're in Nashville and you're looking for a casual place to chill with a bunch of friends and enjoy some good times, good drinks, and good dinner, PM's your place.

Would not recommend the Sushi. I am giving this a 3 star (2 1/2 really) instead of four only because of the sushi. I have had other dishes at PM that were pretty good. I am here from time to time out of covenience and I always want to like the sushi and everytime i get it i regret it. Not fresh enough. The Indian spice sweet potato bisque is really good. I would avoid the Sushi. As for the service??? Not bad, not great. Price? My lunch today was $32 including the tip. (2 sushi rolls - nothing elaborate- a seaweed salad and a $7 glass of chenin blanc)

The burger. The AMAZING burger. I could leave my review at that and it would be all you need to know. It really is unlike any other I've ever encountered. When friends/family from out of town come to visit, they always request to go here to get a burger or chicken sandwich (also very good). All it took was one time and they were hooked. And I must also mention the fries they serve with it - the sweet potato are great, but I also like the steak fries. They ae typically fat with just the right amount of crispiness & salt. I don't eat sushi and haven't really bothered with anything else on the menu, so I can't offer a review on that. But, I can tell you that the tempura brownie donut bites are to die for (think gooey brownie wrapped in funnel cake and drizzled with caramel) and that the PM split was just a little odd... something about the flavors just did not mesh right. Good in theory, though. As for the ambience, the place is typically filled with people who looked like they fell out of a copy of Toolbag magazine, but what else would you expect so close to a college campus? It really adds to the overall quality of the place because it makes for great people watching. On a negative note though, I have been going there for about 2 years now and they STILL have the same rickety, slanted table on the right side wall of the restaurant. You have to keep an eye on your water glass or it may slide right off. And I swear, I almost always manage to be sat there. Surely to God they can afford to replace the thing... Bottom Line: THE BURGER

I have been to PM several times since I moved to the area this summer and I have never been disappointed. Their diverse menu is great if you can't seem to decide exactly what sounds good, and they have a great bar menu as well (one of only a handful of restaurants in town that carry Delirium Nocturnum). The service is usually pretty slow and not particularly attentive, but that doesn't bother me. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an enjoyable place to grab a snack and drinks.

Ryan H.

PM is worth visiting for their diverse menu and fun eclectic atmosphere. The food is mostly very good, even the mundane sounding burger and wraps are (apparently) really tasty. I like to go with the small plates to get a sample of several things. The gyoza is extremely good. As has been mentioned before, we've experienced the service being "laughably" bad before -- but in recent months it seems to have improved. Hurray!

I decided to give this place a couple of tries before reviewing it. This is THE place to go if you're a Belmont student, although I didn't make it until two years after I graduated. The first time we went in for drinks. I got 3 shots and two mojitos and paid close to $20 bucks, maybe a little more. The shots were gumdrop or something and really good. Not really my thing for nightlife, but nice. Went to lunch here over the summer and the service was horrible. We sat on the patio, which was fantastic. I had the Angel Hair Pasta Salad (Mesclun, Veggies, Thai herbs with Peanut Sauce) and loved it. Today I went again for lunch - although we sat inside because it's arctic. I ordered the Veggie Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and hated it. I thought the burger had no taste, the bun was burnt and the fries weren't as "amazing" as everyone had promised. The service was better though, less feeling unnoticed. I think I might go back for drinks, but the parking (or lack there of) is enough to keep me away from the lunch menu.

PM is a great place to go to at really anytime of day. It's also an unusual establishment in that its the only place I know that serves both great sushi and burgers. Most places don't offer both items on their menu much less do them both well. Their sushi is some of the best priced in town and although their selection is a little limited I've yet to eat a roll there that I haven't liked. Because of its eclectic menu, PM is really a good place to go for practically any occasion. Its a great spot for lunch, its relaxed atmosphere makes it a good place to relax with some friends, but the food and decor are still nice enough to make it a great spot for a date night as well. There's a full bar that serves a few beers on tap as well as liquor, wine and sake. The staff are always friendly, even when they are busy. Parking is street only, and since PM is located down the street from Belmont University, its usually pretty limited during the day. It's located in a quieter part of town which lends a lot to its laid back atmosphere. They have some pretty good drink specials and overall have one of the better priced bars in town.

Kathryn S.

PM!... I am a big fan of their spicy spicy veggie burger and their fries.... BUT i have to say their sushi is not as good as everyone makes it out to be.. if you have ever had really good sushi (for instance in cali or texas... somewhere near the water) you will know what GOOD sushi tastes like and this is NOT it, sushi places in nashville need to learn how to correctly cook their sushi rice.. Another complaint is that they don't have normal ice tea... they have coke/water but if you want something other than alcohol there isn't much choice in that dept. I love the location and all that so i give it lots of stars... they just need to work on making their sushi truly good sushi and they'll be set (plus get some iced tea... it really doesn't take that long to brew)!

Michael W.

"Well you shouldn't judge a sushi place by their burgers. We should try the nachos." That's what I actually caught myself saying before ordering. Something is profoundly wrong with that, right? Not necessarily. The menu is pretty weird, kinda lacking a thesis. But the food is pretty decent, and the prices are OK. The burger was nothing to rave about, but a good burger for $7. And the "Thai Nachos" were good, if very weird. (Queso and eggplant over corn chips with Thai-flavored chicken?) They have a great space and some real ambiance, and what looks like a fun bar. Brick walls and wood floors, cool artwork. This place really has potential. It just needs to find itself.

PM is a great place to go if you aren't in a hurry but want a nice affordable meal. Their sandwiches and menu items are great. Their sushi is OK, but it's hard to find a place where you can get great sushi around here...definately not bad and the presentation is creative. My favorites is Thai Wrap (chicken or tofu), but they also have a great burger and chicken sandwich. The "entree" menu items are good, just a bit pricy. The Thai Nachos are also quite good. Beer selection is great too! Overall a great place, just don't go on a weekend night unless you plan to stay put for a while.

Oh Arnold, we miss you! When you were a regular presence, the lettuce was fresh, the cucumber wasn't frozen. The sashimi didn't present as slabs of glossy flesh hacked out of a mountainside of fish, like strip mining at its worst. Where are you?! My family loves PM. We revel in the atmosphere. One of our favorite things about it is the wonderful cross-section of humanity represented here, from elderly folk who've lived in the Sterling Court Apartments forever, to young almost-hip Belmont students. But lately, it's gone awry. Perhaps it's the new menu? When first ordered a few years back, the seaweed salad was the best in town, and highly unusual - wonderfully delicate strands of seaweed sitting atop mounds of dulce and ocean greens I have yet to identify. Never greasy, always large enough for two. Now, it comes drowned in sauce - though I have to say, if ordered with the disclaimer "Please make sure it isn't drowning in sauce", most of the waitrons will drain it. Still, it's nowhere near the surprisingly fabulously huge and delicate repast we were used to. Perhaps it's the sashimi? I'm not sure who trains Arnold's sushi chefs, and I realize this is not per se a Japanese restaurant, but if you're going to serve sushi, have a bit more respect for the fish! The chirashi is great value, no argument there - enough for two, at least - but I personally would prefer not to have to cut my sashimi into thirds and fourths before it fits in my mouth. What's the point of sashimi, if not the delicacy and the enjoyment of a succulent mouthful that melts on the tongue, rather than huge pieces with gristle and fat still clinging to them, interrupting all taste sensation with overkill? Nashville has some of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the country, which begs the question - why on earth advertise "Vietnamese spring rolls" and then present these dried up wallflowers, with a sauce that plainly comes straight out of a bottle? Kien Giang at its worst could do better! The final insult? the "salad" served on the side of the fabulous Thai wrap. The wrap itself is a thing of beauty, perfectly balanced, but the "salad" that accompanies it is a disgrace. We ordered it for the third time tonight, and it was no better than the other times - the lettuce had been sitting far too long, the cucumber slices looked like they'd been frozen, and over-all, the entire thing could have used some serious attention. Patty Myint was there tonight, and I wih I'd taken the opportunity to show her my "salad" - the brown, curled lettuce edges, the barely-defrosted ice on cucumber slices. The daub of wasabi next to my sashimi, with an outside crust proving it had been sitting far too long. But to be honest, I didn't have the nerve. This woman has single-handedly re-shaped Nashville's dining - why bother her with minor details? I love PM, believe it or not. It's in my district. It's kid-friendly, and the outdoor seating is lovely. Those of you following my reviews know we used to go to Shintomi, but no more - so where to go for sashimi in the 'hood? Ginza is embarrassing, Watanabe too far. PM is the obvious solution - but oh, Arnold, how we miss you! Please come home, Arnold!! Hollywood may beckon, but Nashville needs you!!

I was a regular at PM until it was clear our family would never get to sit anywhere but next to the bathroom. Anecdotally, I hear that's the deal for patrons with kids.

Man. It's been a LONG time since I have been to PM! So when my friend and I needed a stop for our Friday night Restaurant Week adventure, we decided to enjoy the 3 course meal for $20.13 offered here! We were able to grab a table a little after 6pm and ordered the white and red sangria. YUM. Very tasty and a healthy portion for sure! Great start. We decided to have the shrimp spring rolls and moo shu quesadilla to start and wow, they did not disappoint! I loved the sauces on the side and we knew we were off to a solid start! For entrees we decided on the green curry with chicken and the salmon teriyaki with veggies. I ordered my green curry spicy, and it was even though the heat kinda floated to the bottom of the bowl. I have to admit I didn't love the broth, it seemed a bit watered down (maybe from all the restaurant week orders?) and I was let down. The salmon was good, and I definitely grabbed more than one bite from my friend's plate. For dessert I ordered the tempura brownie bite with caramel and my friend the coconut sticky rice with mango. Both were good but not great. Probably wouldn't order it off the menu again. I always say that your appetizers shouldn't outshine the main course. I feel it should be a delicious and amazing build up to the grand finale that is your main dish. In this case, I was wishing I could have done a re-do of the appetizers. What brought it down to 3 stars is that they rushed us out the door. I HATE when I'm still working on a course and the next one is brought out to me. Give me a minute or two please! And they weren't completely slammed or anything when we were here. Overall, not bad. I'd like to come back and have a refresher on the sushi!

My fiancÃ© and I went to dinner here last night. We have been here several times before and have loved it. Last night the hostess was very flighty and kept referring to our party of three as a party of two. She just seemed really out of it and kept seating other groups that came in after us before us. As far as the food, the sushi is always really good in our experience. The Thai food wasn't so great as last night was the first time we tried it. I ordered the Thai nachos. Thai, they were not. It was basically barbecue chicken on your classic nachos with sour cream and guac. If we go back, I'll definitely be sticking to the sushi. The restaurant itself is an eclectic little spot. It is a pretty cool, laid back atmosphere. The bathrooms however were super gross last night. Definitely in need of a good clean. I got the gas station bathroom vibe for sure.

Do you love sushi?!!!! PM is my favorite place to get the best sushi in NashVegas. Always fresh and delicious! I tried the sushi pizza during my visit and wanted more. Perfection!

I am a huge fan of PM. The sushi is fresh, the price is right and the non-sushi menu is never boring. I love that they sell Sofia sparkling wine in the little cans. I'm a sucker for things in cute packages...and also for sparkling wine. The cocktails are also delicious. The bartenders can make a mean martini. The nigiri cuts are very generous. The yellowtail is always super fresh. They have a great selection of maki including some traditional and not-so traditional offerings (bacon, anyone?). One of these days I will tear myself away from the sushi menu and try the much raved burger.

Allison N.

I absolutely love PM. Such a great variety and such a cute little place to go for late night. The service was always pretty good whenever I went. They've got quite a bit of Asian food on the menu, but a surprising point where this place does really well is their burger. Weird, right? Anyway, the burger is one of the best in the area by far. There's a good variety here, so something for everyone. Definitely more of a late night place, but really a cool restaurant near Belmont. Expect it to be pretty busy, but you shouldn't have to wait too long, especially if you come in later on in the night.

Terrible Customer service, found a baby cockroach on the table post dinner. - did not attempt to comp. the meal. I will not be back and will never recommend this restaurant, in fact i will actively tell people to stay away if i am asked for dinner suggestions. Good luck PM, I hope you get an exterminator soon because where there is a baby cockroach there are bound to be more... For the rest of you PM lovers, enjoy your meals, I hear cockroaches are a great source of protein. ***

We came to pm with 4 people and all 4 of us ordered something different they brought our food on two different plates to our other friends, making us assume our was still on the way when it was actually on the other parties plates. The chicken sandwich my friend ordered was raw and after taking two bites out of it our waiter told us it wasn't refundable. Our waiter was talking to another staff member at the computer pointing at us and laughing for bringing it to his attention. As someone who works in the restaurant business I would have sent a manager over. I will not be back.

I've tried PM twice, dined in once and did take out the other time and I've yet to really be wowed by PM, it seems more trendy than anything. I heard a lot of hype about this place before trying it and I can really say that the only saving grace it really has is the price. Parking was a little bit of a pain. There's nothing super exciting about their rolls and they aren't very filling. I don't want to write the place off completely because there are things on the menu I'd like to try like the Sushi Pizza and some of their thai dishes. I also hear great things about their bar program so I hopefully the third time is the charm with PM.

Great ambience. I like the music selection. I've been here a few times and will be back. It's much better than Suzy Wong's. The food can be hit or miss. Love the duck spring rolls. The BBQ pork bun tasted frozen though. Sushi is on par with many in the area, nothing special but not bad. Great drink menu.

We came to PM later around 9:30 PM following a night at the symphony - the majority of the city was at the Preds game, so I can't speak for the crowd considering we were at an odd time and crowd was going to be smaller anyway, but we were seated immediately with full water glasses off the bat. The menus were a little beat up but the food they boasted looked spectacular and I went with my impulse for Soup & Appetizer because I love when I can get the option of not having to narrow down the delicious eats so much...BRILLIANT. I got the Curried Sweet Potato Bisque and Laotian Sausage Bites. The Bisque was way flavorful and presented cleverly: Scallions on the top to mix the flavor up a bit and keep your tongue excited, scoop around for scallion-less yum, then I hit the bottom of the bowl where a mass of sour cream awaited me and shook up my soup experience again. I literally went "ohhh..." and made happy face. So smart, I had three flavor choices in one bowl! The Laotian Sausage Bites were also fabulous, with a great crisp I think pan fried in cashews they tasted spicy and pork-y and nutty all at once...plus they came on their own mini salad so you could again, flavor blend. I hated the sweet & spicy sauce that came on the side here - it made no sense to add - but it was on the side so I simply didn't add it. My friend got the Seafood Bi Bim Bop that I was also tempted by and that was very tasty as well. The neat thing is again - probably my favorite part now that I think of it - how it was presented left you the option to combine different parts of the plate to make different flavors so you never lost the flavor excitement, it was never a blur, the taste was always fresh! I hope that happens on all the meals here, it's like getting to share plates without sharing the flavors get so mixed up. Service was great, atmosphere is the now-standard cool, we stayed chatting for quite a while and no one made us feel like we should hit the road. All around I want to go back again. I've loved all of Arnold Mynt's restaurants (3/4) I've tried so far and enjoy that he does "veggie justice" to his menus - although I realize I got meaty meals here, I go for the Spicy Eggplant at Suzy Wong's and loved my egg bake for Sunday brunch at blvd. Lots of flavor, smart presentation to keep your mouth excited, good atmosphere, apparently busy based on the other reviews but you know...everyone wants good food!

Haley H.

Husband and I ate for lunch. We will probably never go back. Our server brought us our appetizers and told us our sushi had been out and ready and would we like him to bring it..no one wants to hear that when they have ordered sushi. Our food tasted like it had been sitting for a while and we barely ate and left and went to eat somewhere else. Sad because I used to love this place.

Great Asian place across the street from Belmont university. (So the majority is def. college kiddos) This place does a good meal start to finish. Edamame and peanut sauce fondue are great apps. This has the best veggie burger in town. Come with fantastic steak fries and wasabi mayo. The dessert is killer with a deep fried chocolate brownie. Amazing.

Tran T.

I went here so many time when I used to go to Belmont, I can't believe I haven't wrote a review on it yet. I agree with John S., that the PM Chargrilled Burger by itself deserves 5 Stars. It comes with Steak Fries or Sweet Potato Fries and Wasabi Mayo sauce. I usually added ketchup to the sauce, for some reason, it tasted better that way. For $5, the Thai Tea tasted average. Don't waste your money on it. Appetizer: I recommend the Coconut Calamari, which comes with 3 different sauces. My favorite is the one with the cucumber, tomato, and onion. The crunchiness of the veggie plus the sweet and sour of the sauce make this sauce sooo yummy! The other two are Siracha and Sweet & Sour sauce, which come from a bottle that you could purchase at any Asian supermarkets. The Laotian Sausage Bites are also very good (pork sausage, arugula, and walnuts with Siracha sauce). May be prices for pork went up, but the portion for this dish seemed gotten smaller compared to the first time I got it. Sushi: So far the only sushi roll I got was San Francisco roll. It seems the rolls at PM aren't fancy looking like at other restaurants but the SF roll I had was really good. Lunch: Shrimp Tempura with Ponzu is basically putting shrimp tempura and few slices of green onion on top of steam rice...even my guy friend knows how to make a better dish than that. Dinner: Sake Seared Salmon was average. I had better Salmon at Chill Spot (Delis) and that says something. Chinese Roasted Pork. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Man, this dish is an INSULT to Chinese food. I'm sure $3 cup noodles tastes better than this $15 dish. Egg noodles and roasted pork were gross. It tasted like bad microwaved food. What a nightmare. For take out, they do charge you (5%?) for to-go orders. Is it because to-go box is recyclable? I should have asked. They do have a nice patio which is what I like most about this place. Don't expect good customer service here or any restaurant in Belmont/Hillsboro Village. It seems the waiters/waitresses are too cool and "hip" for us. 2013/#51

I used to frequent (almost weekly) with my group of friends here for the first 2 years I lived in Nashville. It was a good place to meet since they had large tables for a large group, outdoor seating that welcomed dogs, and good service. They also have a large menu with a variety to fit anyone's pallet. The food is okay but I've had better at other restaurants in Nashville for cheaper. I haven't really gone back in the past few years. If I want thai, then there's Thai Phooket. If I want a burger, there's The Pharmacy or Burger Up. If I want dumplings, there's Lucky Bamboo. If I want chinese food, then there's Chinatown. If I want sushi, there's Wild Ginger.

Chad R.

Food is always good. The burger is great. The service is always lacking. I've never been to this place in the years I've lived in Nashville where I got anything over quasi decent service. If it wasn't for the fact the food is so good I would never come back here.

Hallie J.

I have been to PM twice. Both times were with co-workers that absolutely raved about not only the sushi but the waiters and waitresses. The first time I went, I had a great experience. Good company and a great roll along with fresh edamame. This experience would have awarded PM a mere 4 stars (due to the fact I think their rolls are somewhat over priced for the quality) However, this past week, I again visited with co-workers for ones birthday. There were 10 of us in total and we were all in great moods, finally all being together again! However, after being seated, the waitress Jessica was rude from the get go when coming to ask for our drink orders. She wouldn't speak up and rarely came to check on us. One of the girls I was with has a very severe food allergy and when asked for just fried rice and an egg was charged 23 dollars for it!!! That's more than she was estimated ($15). The waitress came to our table maybe 4 times total. All of the work being done by the other help in the restaurant which we greatly appreciated their efforts. The manager, however, was very nice and upon coming to speak to us at our table gave us all quite a few laughs. Despite his funny commentary, this was not a very pleasant experience and the roll in which I was recommended and told that it was "The best roll ever" was subpar of any good roll i've ever had, and I have sushi all the time at various places. Needless to say, I won't be returning to PM anytime soon. Sorry. There is far better sushi and service at a much more reasonable price else where. *On a side note, however, the sweet potato wedges and the house salad with miso vinaigrette were both quite good.

Located right on the edge of Belmont, PM tends to be a frequent of a younger crowd, but it also has a nicer atmosphere than most would expect of a college joint. Service has always been fantastic, and the unique Asian-inspired menu keeps me interested (unlike the owner's other establishment Suzy Wong's, which was definitely a one time experience.) The sushi itself isn't too shabby - way better than Zumi Sushi (not that that's much of an accomplishment), but somewhere below Ninki. I personally prefer the Summer and Winter rolls, but sushi bar standards like the California roll are also available. They also have some of their own creations. The Belmont is nice, but the Nashville (bacon, ham, cream cheese, and asparagus??) makes me shudder. I've also had the Chicken Katsu Don, and was realllllly impressed by the chicken. I don't eat a lot of meat, so I tend to be picky about where and when I have it. No complaints here. BTW, sushi pizza is surprisingly delightful. ;) The spring rolls are a bit flavorless, and the Thai Salsa Nachos, sadly, didn't seem much different from any other nachos, but aside from that, everything I've tried has been pretty great. Oh and a word of advice: the parking situation here is terrible, so I'd suggest a lunchtime visit on a weekend or an early dinner unless you live nearby. Luckily, I live down the street, so I can avoid local traffic when I get a craving.

While most people are reviewing the sushi and Asian cuisine, I'm here to review the PM Burger because it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. The PM Chargrilled Burger is a thick slab of meat (ostensibly 1/2 pound) with too many customization options to count. I order my burger cooked Medium, with grilled onions, pepper jack cheese, and wasabi mayo. The onions (or maybe it's the burger, I don't know) has a slight asian bbq sauce on it. The burger nearly falls apart in your hand because it is so juicy. I have it every time I come to Nashville.

John S.

The PM burger is AWESOME and totally worth it... the rest of the menu, kinda meh. If I were to rate PM on their burger alone, I would be tempted to give it 4 stars. However, since there is nothing else outstanding, I will keep it at 3 stars because it is still a solid restaurant. The concept of asian fusion food is an interesting one but the menu is priced based on concept and customers instead of execution and actual quality. In other words, because of the crowd that tends to frequent this place (hipsters and kids with money to spend) the menu is overpriced. The only exception is the burger, which is done beautifully and has great flavor for a reasonable price. If I'm craving a good burger, PM would be on my list of options. Otherwise I can't find a good reason to come.

Juliet L.

PM is good in a pinch and I live in the neighborhood, so it's convenient. Always feels a little sticky, though. The kind of sticky where every table is unbalanced and there's a fly hovering nearby. But the sushi and some of their other dishes are good. They should start doing happy hour.

I popped in here one evening for due to the fact that it was quite late, and we had yet to eat, but the fridge was pretty empty. I would say that this is an alright little place, but not my favorite. They have a pretty diverse menu with more Asian-inspired cuisine but also items that feature flavors closer to home. We had a Thai wrap, sushi, a burger, and a mojito. The best part of the meal was the mojito, honestly- quite good! Everything else was okay: not bad but nothing that would make me want to specifically stop here again. Like another reviewer mentioned, their sweet potato fries aren't really "fries." They basically take a sweet potato and slice it, so your "fries" are more like thick-cut chips with the potato skin still attached. I didn't really mind; they were an interesting thing to try, but the skin was a bit tough. I'm not quite sure if this place is really my scene, either. It seems to cater to the "hipster" student crowd. The majority of the customers when I was there were definitely undergraduate college kids. The atmosphere was a little awkward, as well, due to some of the staff sitting around at one of the tables near where we were eating and talking loudly/texting on their cell phones. All in all, PM's not a bad restaurant; it's just not my kind of place.

Robert P.

Used to be one of my favorite places to eat. Things have changed....Went for lunch and the music was so loud I couldn't even communicate with the server. My standby was always the cheeseburger and spicy tuna roll and I seem to have noticed a steady decline over the years of what used to be great. If you go there is a guy with a beard (sorry don't know his name) but he is working hard and will give great service but if you don't get him you will be underwhelmed with the service.

Laine S.

I was craving sushi, but being unfamiliar with Nashville's offerings, visited PM on the recommendation of a family member. Bottom line, the sushi was awful. The fish was very low-quality, I bit into some yellowtail Nigiri and could not even bite through it. It was so tough it shredded in the process. Honestly, this is partially my fault for not checking out the menu prior to our visit. When we arrived we saw that probably 75% of the rolls contained "krab stick", and most were fried or had some sort of needless sauce on top. The kicker was the service. After trying a couple of bites of the sushi and pushing the plate to the side because it was pretty inedible, our server came by and asked how everything was. I informed him politely and discretely the sushi was not very good, he responded by saying "okay... Sorry" and wondering off without any further action. He didn't offer to replace the dish, he did not ask what was wrong with the dish, and he did not send anyone else over to handle the situation. To make matters far worse, when the bill arrived and the barely touched sushi still appeared on it, I flagged him down and pointed it out as politely as I could. He became flustered, waved his hands about, and said he couldn't do anything about that and he would send his manager over. To the managers credit, he was very polite and took care of removing it from the bill, but the server was so rude that I am still a little disappointed in myself for leaving the nominal tip that I did. The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is some of the other dishes we ordered were fine, but really we only came here for the sushi, and what a disappointment.

Lauren G.

A little bit for everyone. Sushi to the burgers to full entrees, It's really pretty good. I give it a 3 because its standard and solid, burger is good and sushi always good. Nothing out of this world (like omg I have to have more) but always really solid. It takes a lot to earn a 4 or 5 and just like the 3 Star description on Yelp says, 3 stars = A ok :) I usually just come here because I like the atmosphere, quiet, cozy, and it's close to my neighborhood. It never gets to crazy or packed so I can hear people. Actually not a bad little date spot if you want something on the budget friendly side and not over the top. I usually come here for drinks with the girls or friends and maybe grab a sushi roll or two. I come here every so often when i'm tired of the midtown/downtown scene. It's a nice break and like I said it's always good, standard, never a bad meal. It's A-ok with me :)

Dani W.

I absolutely love PM! I've eaten here twice and I most definitely will be back. On my first visit (last summer) I had the Miami roll and beef and broccoli. My second visit, which was yesterday for lunch I had the sushi pizza. OMG! Can you say amazing?! This was the best sushi dish I've ever had. I literally could've had it again for dinner. I highly recommend this. The servers are really nice and I love the outdoor scenery.
(5)
Colleen J.

This is tough, but I can't deny it. The service here pretty much ruined the entire experience. The sushi was great, gyoza was flavorless, though. Our waitress was absolutely helpless. Couldn't get the right drink order, when she brought the wrong item she blamed it on us and didn't apologize, was impolite the entire time, and barely checked on us. Absolutely terrible experience. Never again.

Emma W.

PM's food is incredible. Nothing else to say. I've eaten there probably 15 times and it's consistent and amazing. I could bathe in the coconut soup. I just wish that their Pad Thai was a little more affordable. It used to be $14. Granted, it's a big dish, but they added 3 types of protein to it instead of being able to "choose" your protein... but for those of us who don't eat meat... we should be able to customize it with just the egg + tofu for cheaper than $17.
(5)
Laura G.

Excellent service. Interesting menu! I just didn't think the flavors were there. I had the duck spring rolls (which I asked if they were fried and was told no) and they were fried. The they served a hot sauce and sweet sauce with the rolls, the hot sauce overpowered the duck. The spare ribs were good but nothing special. My husband ordered a vegetarian dish that lacked any flavor at all but looked pretty. The Pad Thai noodles were served in an egg crepe (nice presentation) but they lacked flavor as well. oh well.....
(2)
Andrea R.

I have yet to find amazing sushi in Nashville for a reasonable price, my rolls were decent but not earth shattering. A convenient spot in the Belmont/Hillsboro Village neighborhood if you don't want to venture far but probably not somewhere I'd use my hard earned cash at again.

Ian R.

PM is by far my favorite sushi place in Nashville, and I also think that the burger is damn near the best in town. Great vibe wether you're sitting inside or outside. Large beer selection, as well as sake and some wines as well. Service is very hit or miss. Food is always out on time and I've never NOT been taken care of well, but the majority of the staff is flat out boring and not fun to talk to. Most of them seem like they don't enjoy working there at all. But hey, it could just be the fact that they're trying so hard to keep up their hipster persona. The ONLY downside to this place for me (and it almost made me make this a 4 star revue) is the bathrooms. It is mind blowing that the place looks wonderful, but when you walk into the bathroom, it looks like you're in some under kept dive bar. Half the lights are burnt out, it always reeks of nasty smells, and there's graffiti tagged on all the walls. I usually try avoiding the bathroom here if I can.

Madalyn H.

PM is probably my favorite sushi place in Nashville. I've been three times total thus far, the first time when my mother was visiting in town. Two bites into her roll, she exclaimed this was one of the restaurants she wants to hit every time she visits. I've had a few different rolls, the sushi pizza, spring rolls and dessert, and nothing has left me disappointed. Even going later at night (they serve sushi until 11, are open until 1 pm on weekdays), I felt the fish was still fresh and just as tasty as I'd come to expect from earlier dining.

A P.

Well we are Nashville natives, (my wife and I) and we've been to PM probably 5 times a piece. PM has been walking on eggshells with me, because the food was hit or miss...I can deal. What I cannot deal with is arrogance, and a sucky attitude. Let the story begin. As always the host/hostess and wait staff are about as engaging as speaking with a wall. They seat you, but not without letting you know that you somehow are disturbing their evening, (are you not at work?) On to the food, I ordered the Thai chicken salad, pretty easy go since its a salad with sauce and chicken on top. I said I wanted no wonton puffs (making it gluten free). My wife orders her go-to which is the veggie burger, mind you we have had veggie burgers come out COLD before, but we were rolling the dice saying "maybe this is a good trip, maybe they'll get it right" 1st round :NOPE sure enough the burger comes out with no caramelized onions, and no wasabi mayo (something that is supposed to be on the side per how the dish is always presented) annnnnd my salad had wontons. SO we sent it back, both dishes. Round 2: they bring my salad out long before her veggie burger arrives the 2nd time and literally they picked off the wontons and covered the area up with shredded carrots. Pretty obvious because that dish never has that many carrots. Hers arrives with onions and her mayo, and we are thinking we are set and ready to go. NOPE it's ICE cold in the middle, ugh, by now its becoming laborious, so we sent hers back a second time. Round 3: Her burger comes out, obviously reheated because two wasabi peas that she left on her old plate came back out in the same spot on her "new" plate, the mayo was glazed over like it had been sitting under a heat lamp while they microwaved her burger. So we ask for the manager: He comes over and doesn't offer to comp her dish for the trouble we went through to even get to sit down and eat. He says he can take 1/2 off the burger on the bill. I don't know, but where I'm from, if a guest has to continually send food back because its done super half ass the whole time, you Mr restaurant owner/manager comp that dish, yes you suck it up, because you sucked that night, so you take a loss. He would have lost probably what, a dollar? But no he chose to lose customers, so to the lady up the review line who said "get over yourself", I second that. We won't be back.

I went to PM one night with friends. I thought it was odd that they supposedly had the best burger but everything else was asian-inspired with a huge selection of sushi. I decided to go with the suggestion that my friends gave me. They told me I had to try the burger. So, instead of trying the sushi which also looked good I went with the burger. It was a substantial piece of meat for the burger. I ordered mine cooked medium well with no onions add bacon. Unfortunately, they left off my bacon but still ended up charging me for it. I didn't want to complain just because I hate complaining. I ordered the steak fries for my side. The burger was so big that I could only eat half of it but it was so good. Our server was friendly and mostly attentive. Could have been a little bit better. It was weird to see that all the employees were in regular clothes. I would definitely be back to try the sushi.

Creative Asian-inspired fusion cuisine - some surprisingly good new-age-esque dishes such as fritters with sweet and sour sauce, or curry potato lettuce wrap (though with plain fries). Not everything on the menu is a hit, but the mushu mushroom dish is certainly a delectable vegetarian delight. The restaurant itself looks like a house, but inside feels like a restaurant, with some TVs in one corner as well. Patio/outdoor seating is available. For more traditional Burmese/Thai/Southeast Asian cuisine, try the International Market restaurant across the street from PM -- though I hear the owner of PM is the son of the owner of International Market.

It was on December 10th 2014 12:00 AM, Yup they are open till 1:00. I wanted to celebrate my wife's birthday and I wanted to do it at 12:00 AM. We were very well greeted and the people here were very happy to take on my special requests. They arranged the cake for us with nice sushi and noodles. We just enjoyed our moments. This was my wife's first birthday with me and a beautiful moments of our life. Thanks to you all. They were pretty good on the food they promised. So ... 5 starts for all.....

Bridgette C.

I've been to PM so many times. Birthday parties (had mine here once) Sunday lunch, random weeknight sushi craving...but what won me over was the fact that I could get sushi late night, which I did not realize until this weekend. And here's the thing: restaurants that are open late need to realize that they still have to be nice to their customers no matter how late they come in. And PM was perfect. Our server was fun and attentive (and didn't even make fun of me for wanting steak fries and sushi, unlike my friends who laughed at me and my weird late-night craving). . I love the menu here since its ecclectic (sushi and Asian fusion or basics like burgers). I've had several of their rolls (I'm a basic spicy tuna lover) and their wraps and burger. Everything is very good. It really is the kind of place where everyone can find something to enjoy. I prefer lunches here and now late night, as during the usual dinner hours its packed with students (Belmont being oh, right there) but regardless of timing the staff here has always been great. Oh and as a side not, they have a lot of items available for vegans and gluten-free peeps (items are easily identified on the menu) so it really is a great place for one and all to sit and enjoy a good meal.

PM is one of the special places that warms your heart. I had a most delightful experience on Saturday night. The girls and I headed to PM for dinner during the bachelorette festivities. This time I mixed it up and ordered the Alaska roll as well as the Spicy Tuna. What a perfect balance of neutral and spicy! It was like the Alaska and Spicy Tuna were made for each other in combination! The service was great and the men didn't mind taking pictures of our table!

Do you tire of people wanting to call Brown's Diner the best burger in Nashville? Sentimental taste buds, y'all. Just because you got to see Nancy Griffith stumble in? Or Rotiers? Puh-leeze. A grease ball between stale buns... Then there's PM, that crazy joint that serves sushi and burgers. The San Francisco Roll is worthy- just add a little hot sauce. The burger is the best in Nashville, maybe America. Perfectly cooked and served with a healthy salad or sweet potato fries- nothing better. And they're open late!

Whoa...did we eat in this place.... I went to PM this weekend with my wife, daughter, and two friends. We were all in Nashville for the weekend. PM was recommended by a local friend. Arnold Myint, of Top Chef fame, is the chef. It is supposed to ve "Asian-inspired", thai-fusion or something. It was outstanding. For the four and half of us, we ordered a bunch of small plates - probably four or five, then three sushi rolls, then "bi bim bap" (not sure why it was in quotes), and then some more sushi. We. Were. Stuffed. Could. Eat. No. Mas. Of the things we had, by far the best were the pot stickers, the calamari, and the "snake" sushi roll. (That one was the reason we ordered more - we go a second of it, along with something else.) The drinks were also pretty good. (I did not have one, but everyone else did. They liked the lemonade drink, whatever that was.) We called earlier in the day before going, and found out they did not take reservations. But, they told us there would likely be a wait between 7 and 9, though the wait would not be longer than 30 minutes. We got there at 6:40ish and were seated right away, though I think we got the last table. The place was packed by the time we left, around 9. Also, it's reasonably priced. For the four and half of us, with drinks, enough food to stuff ourselves, and some sorbet for our daughter (mango), the total check was only $160.

I would not recommend this place for most things. I came here on valentine's day and had the New York strip, my girlfriend had the panang. The steak was overcooked and soaked in sauce (mostly soy sauce). The panang was chunky and lacked flavor. Not sounding like a three star review? Well here's the catch: The sushi was some of the BEST I've ever had, and I've sampled sushi almost everywhere you can imagine, including Tokyo and Kyoto. If I had just come here and gotten Sushi I would have given a 5 star review hands down, but the other entrees were just flat out disappointing.

Great spot for lunch. Probably the best place to get a burger and sushi. They make a wasabi mayo, which is a must have on the burger... Go ahead and add some flavor to you life.

Not a bad option at all for late night cravings. The Thai wrap was pretty creative and fresh. Their steak fries are honestly good! I only wish that they don't close the sushi kitchen so early.

One of the best veggie burgers around WHEN it is cooked right. I've on multiple occasions had to send it back to be cooked all the way through it to have the grilled onions added when they've forgot to put them on when I've asked and even once when they delivered a cold burger to the table (not room temp, refrigerator cold). However the flavor and hope that one night will be the night I get a good one keeps bringing me back. The service is average to below average... They aren't in a hurry to bring you anything but aren't outright rude. Overall it's a pretty average experience.

I am a big PM fan. I first visited PM years ago on a weekend visit to Nashville. Arnold was working in the kitchen and whipped up his first gluten free dish for me to enjoy... and it was awesome! I was hooked from that moment on. Then months later we dined here again and he added "gluten free" distinction to the menu (along with marking the vegetarian dishes). They even have tamari/gluten free soy sauce on hand for the sushi. My only complaint is they don't have gluten free beer available. I've enjoyed the edamame, the pad thai, and the peanut chicken penang. All were fabulous. The patio is great, and the inside is not too shabby, either.

I must admit i do indeed enjoy the food at PM. The vegetarian options really do shine through. The thai nachos, tofu wrap, tofu fondue, vegi burger and many of the sushi rolls have satisfied me on numerous occasions... as well as those delightful sweet potato fries, yum.... my only (small) gripe about this lovely little joint located right in the belmont area, is there is often a painful wait for a table and sometimes the servers lack a bit of what one would call people skills....none of this bothers me enough to ignore the delicious eats though. PM, I will see you soon!

PM was always our go-to place when I was in school at Belmont, since it is right across the street from campus and walking distance from my old apartment. Even though I don't live close anymore, PM is still my go-to place for killer sushi, the best in Nashville (in my opinion), and a perfect location to sit outside on their patio in the beautiful Nashville evenings. I always love to get the California roll and yellow tail, but my boyfriend swears that the Nashville roll is the best thing ever created and that it will "change your life." PM not only offers sushi or Thai food, they also have awesome burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, nachos, salads, etc. The thing that separates their burgers from all others is the wasabi mayo that I smother all over the top and also dip my fries in. Delicious. They have recently changed their menu and got rid of the 4 bean quesadillas that I loved and several other menu items, but I forgive them. Their sushi still kicks ass. PM is a great place for lunch, dinner, a late night snack or a place to meet for drinks. Be advised that the later you go, the longer wait you'll have for a table. Going early evening is key.

Get the Florida roll. I missed this roll for a year while I was out of the country.

We were recommended this place by a guy who works at pangea in the Vandy area who's vegetarian friends said the veggie burger was the best ever. My sister and I split the coconut calamari and veggie burger. The coconut calamari was good- nicely fried but not too heavily battered and the hot sauce and sweet and sour sauce were really good with it (as were the fresh onions). The veggie burger is definitely the best I've ever tried. It was covered in a kind of teriyaki sauce and the wasabi mayo paired really well with it.

PM should stand for "Party in my Mouth." But not for the sushi. Let's start with the unexpected: The place was packed and a little loud for a Wednesday, and somehow we got a table within 5-10 minutes. The waitress was friendly and helpful, but kind of a flake. She took forever to bring our drinks, and never brought one of the drinks that my friend ordered. While I don't doubt that it doesn't happen often, and I know it was busy, I think forgetting a portion of any order is careless and unacceptable. That's why they give you a pen & paper. While their food selection is incredible, I believe they have been incorrectly dubbed. I'm not sure that this place is a "sushi" restaurant. I think that is a common misconception that I would like to clear up now. From the recommendations that I've heard, everyone talks about food items that are NOT on their sushi list. I should've listened. Their sushi was fresh and fairly delicious, don't get me wrong, but I was expecting the spectacular, and it just did not deliver. Now on to the DRINKS: I had the most delicious drink! Try their cucumber gin martini. Holy party in my mouth. I wanted another one, but I'm pretty small, and it was a week night, so I refrained. Why will I go back?? To get the real experience. PM is not a sushi restaurant. It's an Asian Fusion restaurant. Let's be clear on that before you go and have the same first experience that I had. Get a burger, try one of their amazing standards with an Asian flair, and ENJOY a delicious drink. I know I will go back soon, and when I do, you will hear my update!

Stefanie P.

Went back, for lunch again. Got the burger (chosen based on Yelp review) and sweet potato fries. Burger was great. Sweet potato fries were way greesy and over cooked and undercooked in other parts. Service was friendly and timely this time. I'll give em 4 stars this time around. Parking stinks. Bring a friend to help you parallel about 2 miles away.

Came here with some coworkers while in Nashville for business. We enjoyed the shared plates and made our own "tapas". Of note, we had the following: B&B PICKLE TEMPURA GYOZA POT STICKERS LUMP CRAB WONTONS LAOTIAN SAUSAGE BITES BBQ PORK BAO BUN PEKING DUCK SPRING ROLLS Food was great and their cocktails are excellent. Would recommend for smaller groups as if school is in session, I can imagine this place becoming quite crowded.

Thomas B.

I've been going here since I first moved to Nashville back in 2006. The place has changed a lot but the food has always been amazing. They now have great drink specials almost every night of the week and an awesome cocktail list. Whether your in the mood for Sushi or a Burger with a kick, Thai or American with a Thai spin, love, love, love this place. Prices are pretty reasonable too.

Sasser M.

I really enjoy going to PM when I have the time. The Peanut Chicken Penang is probably my favorite item on the menu. Sure, I know know red curry isn't for everybody but wow did this dish change my mind. My wife enjoys the crab wontons because they have a bit of a zing to them. It's nice to finally find a wonton that stands on its own. In fact several of the appetizers are good enough to make a mean on their own. We frequently just order two of three appetizers and share them to make a meal. Its a nice treat. The only negative thing that I have to say would be about their mixed drinks. The list is too short and although it's weird to say this, oddly enough they make them too strong.

As a recent graduate of Belmont, I have been to PM many times ... most recently for a late lunch last week. For some reason, I am always reluctant to go here. I think its due to the other cheaper more college friendly restaurants in the area.... that or it may be because most of the waiters usually carry a prickish-i-dont-give-a-shit vibe. However my friend wanted to get lunch so on this last visit I ordered the steamed BBQ pork bun, the curry spiced sweet potato bisque and an assortment of nigiri. The BBQ bun was unimpressive as it was made up of mainly the steamed dough with little pork filling, was NOT HOT, and the pork appeared to be undercooked. Disappointed to say the least. The nigiri was average (red snapper, octopus, scallop). I've had better elsewhere, but at least the fish was properly sliced and the nigiri balls were appropriately sized in proportion to the fish. I would have also liked some green onion with my snapper as it was a bit fishy, but our waitress appeared to be annoyed so i didn't ask. The bisque was the highlight of the meal. Just the right amount of heat! The flavor combination was right on w/ the curry & sweet potato. If I come back (which its hard to avoid since I frequent the Belmont area) it will definitely be for this bisque and a burger. In a nutshell, if your in this area and want sushi I recommend skipping PM and hitting up either Sushi Yobi (on Demonbruen) or Zumi (on Belcourt in Hillsboro Village) for some tastier and more creative sushi. However, if a friend wants to get lunch here, PM's burger is one of the best I have had.

Zeb M.

PM has pretty good sushi and I've enjoyed every meal I've had there, but their lack of equally good service is hindering me from giving it four stars. I thought it could have been a bad night, but each time my server's always had a blasÃ© attitude. Is it better during the day or something?

Asian Inspired Cuisine...With one of the top 5 best burgers in Nashville. :) I heart PM, and I don't know why I don't venture over more often. The patio on a lovely Spring/Summer/Fall evening is like a little slice of heaven...in Nashville. There's nothing better than relaxing on the patio with a glass of wine, good friends and...delicious food. The inside of the restaurant is fun, too - so don't fret if all of the tables are taken outside, or if the "weather outside is frightful." They just changed their menu a bit, but luckily for me, the "char grilled burger" made the cut and is still on the menu. Perhaps what makes it so good, and unique is that they put a wasabi mayo on the kaiser bun. My husband is more of a daring eater than I am, and was intrigued by the Sushi Pizza. For me, I LOVE pizza...adding raw fish on top? Not.So .Much. He tried it, and evidently, it was creative and very tasty. (Salmon, krab, masago, cucumber, avocado with melted cheese.) I just can't go there. I've had their sushi rolls, and they're decent. It's not my go-to sushi place, but it's all right. One final thing to love about this place: it's open late. Not many places in Nash cater to the late night cravings. Thank you PM.

Reny R.

VERY GOOD FOOD and Excellent service! If you are an older pervy stalker type, perfect location right next to a college campus. But really, good food! Fairly large portions too. I think they accept bruins bucks as well...(if you are a Belmont student) Oh and our waiter had a kick ass name - Pyro. next time visiting my college student son, i'll visit again!

Arnold Myint, as many have stated, is a contestant on this season's Top Chef. He is the owner and head chef at PM. I am going to assume that because he is filming the show that that is the reason why he is often no longer present in the restaurant. He used to be a fixture at the restaurant every night (roughly a year ago), and as he is a friend of a friend he once cooked myself and my out of town guest a soft shell crab dish that was not on the menu. It was delightful. On my most recent journey, I simply picked up sushi to-go. PM has some of the better sushi in the city, although there are a few places out on the East End that can out do PM's sushi chefs. The Florida roll was yummy in my tummy, and the Spicy Tuna roll was tuna but not-so spicy (maybe I'm just resistant to claims of hotness... or, maybe I'm just resistant to "hotness" overall... I really need to get to the gym... I digress). It was a Sunday night, but the place was still fairly busy and the patio had numerous guests upon it. I recommend PM for the interesting drink concoctions and for the food. Is it the best "Asian fusion" ever? Probably not. Does it go down smoothly with a generally nice flavor? Yep. Are the Vandy girls and Belmont girls in their summer dresses and "booty pants" fantastic? Absolutely.

Benson C.

I think its more a 3.5 stars, It's a good place to eat, and offers a variety of food and drinks, however it can be a little pricey for the neighboring college students. The Asian food is all right and decent, probably one of the best in the Belmont/Hillsboro Area, but it's not good enough to frequent even though I live within walking distance. The service is great and never had a bad experience here, it's just the the food can get a little pricey compared to the nearby restaurants like La Fiesta, or the International Thai Market. It does offer plenty of outdoor seating and gets crowded on Friday nights. I think if you can afford to come here for a weekend hangout with friends, you'll probably spend close to $20-30 here including tip.

I've been to PM many times, usually on a weekend night. The crab fried rice is really good. Get ready to spend some cash if you want cocktails without a happy hour deal.

Great food, good atmosphere. We went with a large group and it was a fun place to take a bigger group. The fried pickles and duck spring rolls were awesome and I was excited to see items like burgers and nachos at an asian fusion restaurant. The drinks were also excellent. One disappointment was the dessert menu - we sampled a few things and not much stood out.
(4)
Mandy B.

Love PM, the sushi is amazing and a fun "go out" atmosphere. Try the Florida roll, you won't regret it. The only negative is when school is in it's impossible to get a table in under 45mins on a Friday night. I prefer summer when the students are gone and you can get a nice patio table.

Matthew D.

Being from LA, I was a little skeptical when a local recommended PM. I mean, I come from the land of Asian fusion, how good could it be? But then somebody said it was run by a Top Chef contestant so curiosity got the best of me. We started with the Peking duck spring rolls and BBQ pork bao bun (char siu bao). The spring rolls were greasy and missing something...oh yeah, the taste of duck. I'm not sure if the greasiness overpowered it but it wasn't there. It just tasted like a giant spring roll. The char siu bao was better but the filling lacked that great char siu flavor and bright red color. This one had a brown sugar color and was kind of pasty and bland. For dinner I had a couple rolls - spicy tuna (cut) and and the Godzilla (salmon, shrimp tempura, krab, cucumber). Not impressed at all. The fish was not the bright flavored, super-fresh kind that I have grown accustomed to over the years in LA. And krab with a k? C'mon, Top Chef, get the real stuff. I recommend avoiding any sushi dishes if you visit. I did try my co-worker's spaghetti pad prik pao, which is a vegetarian dish with fried tofu, cashews and basil. With a little hot sauce, this dish wasn't bad but I feel like I could have whipped this up at home on one of those nights where I just cobble something together with whatever I have in the pantry. Overall, pretty disappointing. Aside from the food, the floor was slanted, which was annoying and the a/c needed to be cranked up - it was hot and humid inside.

Sadie F.

Yum, I love this place. I have been here twice- once for dine in and once for carryout both during the weekend. The ambiance is nice I think it is a nice place to bring a group of friends for a fun sushi experience. (I love sushi). I found the staff very attentive and friendly. The prices are fairly reasonable and I would definitely recommend the seaweed salad! It is so hard to find a yummy seaweed salad so I will for sure ALWAYS order the seaweed salad while dining at PM. The spicy scallop is also very delish but SPICY! As a hardcore fan of spicy food, i even found myself scraping off some of the salsa from my rolls. Other diners in my group also tried the florida roll, crunchy shrimp and the one with salmon and cream cheese- everyone was pleased with their choices. I can't wait to go back and try other rolls! And for the record, the key to my heart is through raw fish.

Lucy M.

Great meet up/coffee spot. The atmosphere is fun and sheik, but the food can be selectively lacking. Please do not eat sushi here. It's obviously made by a kid who thought they could make it themselves, and said "oh this is easy, let's put it on the menu!" The other non-asian choices are much better. A+ for drinks and party time!
(3)
Will B.

PM is great! They have a lot of Asian fusion here. Owned by one of chefs who was on 'Top Chef'. It stays open pretty late, has a pretty varied group of customers. I had the Glass Noodle Pad Thai.... since I have a gluten allergy this was great. In fact, anybody with a gluten allergy should know they have a 'gf' beside everything on their menu that is gluten free so you don't have to feel all awkward asking for gluten free options. The amount of options is really good. The night we went we had excellent and attentive service. She was upbeat and catered quickly to our every need without being overly helpful (most restaurant goers should know what I mean). Anyways, a great restaurant if you love asian food and there are many options even if you aren't the biggest fan of asian food.

So we walked in with no reservations with a party of five on a Saturday night and was told the wait was about an hour and a half, We were desperate for sake but not quite that desperate so we told them we would have to move on. A second host came by and stopped us on the way out and told us there was back table with couches. UH perfect. We were warned as we went here for the first time to expect so-so sushi, and poor service. OK we just want some sake! we can manage we said. So we get settled, and i was a little worried about a place that serves burgers, wings, and sushi.... the idea of sushi, with fish brought in from the coast and not readily available and fresh like back home... ack... To our surprise the sushi menu was extensive, we all picked a few rolls and split them up, making the back table and couches seem that much more appropriate! The sushi was on point and delicious! And more importantly they kept the sake flowing, and they had a nice selection of sparkling sakes to boot. Some were a lot more pricey than i was use to, i guess they can get by with that here because its a trendy place. All and all the food was good, the service was great... They even let us sake bomb which i guess it is usually a no no since they don't want glasses getting broken. We were able to persuade the manager by letting him know we don't drop the glasses, we just pour the sake in to the beer directly. (you can use that tip, i can allow it this time) We will be back here for sure, its good to know we can get decent sushi out here... *sigh of relief*

Here's something new and fresh: Asian fusion. Maybe next they'll invent some sort of tiny, flavored balls of ice cream and serve them at sub-zero temperatures at water parks around the country. I'm kidding! Sort of. Okay so Asian fusion isn't exactly a novel concept, but this is a decent spot if you're looking for some reasonably priced small plates or sushi. I noticed a lot of reviewers knocking the sushi. I'll agree that it's not really "outside the box" type stuff, but how much garbage do you want in your sushi? It's not Cici's pizza. Nothing wrong with simplicity. This isn't supposed to be a 5 star restaurant. Be sure to watch out for their tricks. Wild mushroom soup is a few shitakes and the rest are quartered button mushrooms. My grandfather grew button mushrooms in a tray outside his basement in East TN. In case you hadn't heard, Appalachian basement food is not all that wild. The flavor of the soup was quite good, though, so I'm willing to look past the pedestrian fungi; it was sort of a sweet and spicy broth with lots of green onions to boot. Let's talk about the duck spring rolls with the lovely dipping sauces. I like how the spring rolls are all duck and not a bunch of filler. It was shredded duck, which I hadn't had before, but good. I have to admit it was a little drier than I'm used to. I guess that's why they offered such tasty dipping sauces. One was a BBQ type sauce (hoison base?) and the other was a spicy number. Both were very good. It's close to my house, so I'll probably be back.

Ash C.

I'm beginning to think that "Asian fusion" means, "take recipes that have worked for hundreds of years and make them inedible". Attempted to eat here last night: it was very crowded, had nice staff, but terrible food. Maybe I'm missing the point. Maybe this place is supposed to be a way for broke college kids to get something resembling sushi or Thai food. But I get the feeling like a great menu was put together, and somewhere along the way the kitchen forgot how to make the items on it. Husband had the thom kha soup (only okay), edemame (overcooked), and a shrimp tempura roll that had to be thoroughly inspected to find the shrimp. He got halfway through it and asked me if they had brought him a California roll on accident. I had the miso (with beef bouillon? really? thanks for the warning!), duck spring rolls (okay, with no real flavor), octopus nigiri (slices were WAY too thick), and smelt roe (the only delicious item I had). I've been told by numerous people that this was the place to go for sushi, but I was left only with disappointment. I wanted to like PM. The decor is cool and our waiter was very friendly. But the food just didn't deliver.

Julie L.

I had the bao bun appetizer, it was disappointing (dough was crumbly). I also had a couple of sushi rolls, they were ok - not bad, but nothing special either. My friends had the duck spring rolls and regular entrees (one was the pad thai omelet dish, can't remember the other). Their dishes were better than what I had (more flavorful), so if you go, skip the appetizers and sushi and order from the entree menu. The service was very good, so they get points for that.

I have been here around 5 times, including last Saturday, and in my opinion, it continues to pass the test. First of all, I'm not a huge sushi lover, but they have so many to choose from I can usually find one that fits my taste buds. The rest of menu has other "Asian Fusion" items, and every plate that comes out looks delicious, but I usually get the burger w/ sweet potato fries. The burger is char-grilled, with great flavor, and a nice surprise coming from this type of restaurant. But, you won't find me complaining. As I mentioned in my Gabby's review, they bring out wasabi mayo and ketchup for your sweet potato fries. I mix them together for the perfect pink "special sauce." I might look like a weirdo doing this, but it goes perfect with the fries, so if you aren't afraid of something amazing, give it a try! The drink list includes the standard beer selection (yazoo, fat tire, sweetwater, bud, etc) in addition to some Asian beers. The wine list looked fine, and they have a nice selection of cocktails if you aren't looking for beer or wine. In addition to inside the restaurant, I really enjoy sitting on the front patio during the warmer months. The wait staff has been quality every time I've been here even when it seems to always have a crowd. I will continue to hit up PM for some quality time with friends.

Roe J.

My overall experience at PM was nice. I was able to escape yet enjoy the season downpour on the large covered patio. If it weren't for the good service and atmosphere - I would have given the place 3 stars. I ordered the Coconut Calamari (pictured) and an Asian-inspired Caesar Salad. The Calamari was great, the salad was terrible; huge chunks of romaine lettuce someone couldn't help to separate, drenched in a below-par Caesar dressing (that wasn't tossed), with a few won ton pieces and edamane, all in a bowl that was too small. To avoid sounding like a prude, I gave up on the salad cause I couldn't eat it without making a mess, and it generally didn't taste good. I enjoyed the rest of my beer and the end of the rain storm. I will be back, but I'll avoid the salads.

Marty C.

Excellent array of Asian fusion food. If my friends and I cannot decide where to go, this is the place. They have everything from sushi and pad Thai to burgers and salads. From meaty to vegan and gluten free.

for my money this is the best restaurant in nashville. where else can you get the best sushi and the best burger in nashville at the same spot? service is always on point and the patio has extended to fit more customers. get the dragon and winter roll with a burger!
(5)
Chris T.

While I did not have the sushi, I did have the Pad Thai and was not terribly impressed. It tasted strongly of ketchup which was new to me for pad Thai and really overpowered the dish. The small dishes were good and I look forward to returning and trying more. The staff is friendly and the service was average. When I return I will be sure to try the sushi and update this review.

Sara E.

PM is a favorite date night spot for my fiance and me. We're both huge foodies who have eaten at restaurants all over the world so it's a rarity when we both find a place we love enough to keep going back to! They have some of the best and freshest sushi in Nashville (the Snake Roll is a must try!) and imaginative Asian fare (the crab fried rice bowl comes to mind). We've been there dozens of times and have never been disappointed with our food. The service has also been wonderful. Even when the restaurant is packed and there is an immensely long wait the waiters go out of their way to make sure you like what you've ordered. Once I received a burger that was too rare and the waitress actually thanked me for telling her and giving her the opportunity to fix it. The only thing I would say is a problem with PM is the parking - when school is in session trying to find a parking spot can be like trying to find the Ark of the Covenant.

Menu is the same as Suzy Wong's but located next to Belmont. Outdoor patio. Food is really good here, and I'd recommend just ordering to what sounds good to you. Everyone has their own tastes and I'm sure everything is pretty good here.

For those of you who watch Top Chef this restaurant is owned by Top Chef contestant Arnold Myint. However, do not go to this restaurant looking to meet him because he is not usually there. The restaurant was crawling with college aged kids. All the girls had on colorful summer dresses and the guys were opening their wallets buying colorful mixed drinks (that start at about $7) The decor of this place is warm and the vibes are lively as they are very trendy. Maybe not the best place for me to bring my grand parents. There is a huge variety of FOOD on the menu from chicken sandwiches and BURGERS to SUSHI/NIGIRI and PAD THAI. Also, there is whole crap load of 'small plates' including potstickers, fried calamari, crispy duck spring rolls!! and much more. The sushi was not extravagant but the food overall was pretty tasty. The food makes a return trip to this restaurant a worthy outing. Last but not least the service was extremely nice. The waiter seemed interested in any questions I had about the area (with me being out of town). He was very helpful and even drew me a small map of the area to show me where I could find surrounding bars. PRICE GUIDE Beers: (moderately priced $3.50 Abita purple haze was a pleasant surprise) Beer prices averaged at about 5 dollars for a 12 oz. brew you could go cheaper or more expensive. A very sufficient beer list for any beer lover. Mixed Drinks: A variety of martini's and fizzy fruit drinks from about $7 Wine: Tons of reds and whites from a very reasonable $6. Small Plates: $6 to $11 for tantalizing appetizer plates Sushi: Perhaps the best value on the menu, rolls cost $4 to about $12 Nigiri: about $3 to $6 for two pieces of nigiri (great selection) Entrees: from about $8 on up .. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS AS A DATE PLACE TO TAKE YOUR BAE. PM IS HIP, PM IS PRETTY LOW PRICED, PM HAS GREAT DRINKS, PM HAS GREAT SERVICE... AND IS WALKING DISTANCE FROM OTHER FUN BARS!!!!!!! IF YOU"RE IN NASHVILLE OR GOING THERE... TAKE HER OR HIM THERE

Went here for dinner on Saturday night at the suggestion of my cousins who live in Nashville. I had two different sushi rolls, one was called San Francisco and I forgot the other one. (No, I didn't order the San Francisco roll just for the name. The waiter said it was one of his favorites.) I normally wouldn't expect landlocked sushi to be very good, but this was a-ok considering. Sushi was fresh and the service was attentive.

I really like this place. Great vibe; great atmosphere, great patio; great Asian food. Prices reasonable for Nashville sushi ($50 for 2 glasses of wine, edamame, and 4 rolls). My only critique is that sometimes the clientele is a little young because it's so close to Vandy and Belmont. PM is a triple threat: good food, good service, good atmosphere, good prices. Alright, that's 4 things - go eat here!!

Dude wearing a crumpled shirt and jeans, sleeves buttoned up and a crooked tie as if he just got out from work, but actually was exactly how he intended to dress? Check. Said dude accompanied by another dude wearing jeans, a neat black coat, leather shoes, carrying a messenger bag and sporting a neatly coiffed hairstyle, oozing gayity? Check. Usher at the gate with a flaming red mop for a beard, a beard so moppy that when he talks you think he is a ventriloquist? Check. Bunch of fat and ugly chicks wearing horn-rimmed glasses accompanied by dudes in beanie caps and beards? Check. Okay, so you get the picture of the crowd? The place itself is not so bad. It's got a nice chic feel to it with the brick layout and all. The place is a vegetarian's buddy with their explicitly vegetarian offerings. It seems more like a sushi place with many other dishes added as an afterthought. The something-something-flavored fried pickle was amazing. The bowl of steamed asparagus made me feel like I was in a barn and being fed by a farmer, but it was okay. The only veggie sushi roll was nice and so was the Thai nacho chips. Though, honestly, the thai part (eggplant, cilantro, tomatoes) were buried somewhere in the middle and the rest was just good ole gooey yellow Nacho cheese and crunchy so-so nachos. The dessert, tempura fried banana split, was good too. As other reviewers mentioned, they claimed a wait time of 40 minutes and I took their bluff and waited for 10 outside before I was called in by the mop beard dude. It's a nice chill place (it's cold) and the food is good. They have a decent choice of sake and cocktails, though I would have preferred some more hard liquor.

I don't get the good ratings, this was among the worst Thai restaurants I've ever been to. The Pad Thai was made with the wrong noodles, and had little taste. The green curry was watery and the chicken tasted like it was cooked last week. The service was bad, had my server came back to check in on me I would have been able to get enough peanut and hot sauce to make the food bearable.

What isn't to love about PM? Everything about it is amazing, except perhaps the B.O. smell wafting over from the dirty skinny jean, wrinkled flannel shirt, old beanie wearing (Belmont) hipster. ( I think this B.O. wafting while dining at PM occured 3 times in a row, message to the dudes that don't shower: you're not original or a rebel by smelling like cat barf ) I can overlook the above because the food is d*mn good. The wasabi burger is to die for (get it medium rare w/ shredded cheddar and I guarantee you will be speechless) if you are a burger enthusiast. Waitstaff is also really friendly.

I love this place. I spent the majority of my collegiate career eating, studying, and hanging out here with friends. Personally, I'm a fan of the cucumber and tomato salad, adding chicken. The best sushi roll is definitely the snake roll. Desserts wise, it's often a tie between the brownie tempura bites and the cheesecake. They even have loose-leaf tea for those rainy days. PM holds a place in my heart!

The previous reviews were all very helpful. I tried the burger because of the high recommendations, and that was one really good burger! The server told us that the secret is a chili sauce marinade that really adds a unique flavor. The wasabi mayo is definitely worth a try, as well. Anyone can make a burger, but to make it special is what makes it great. I also ordered the sweet potato fries, and they weren't bad but not as good as I was hoping. They're thick cut and homestyle prepared with a little bit of salt. The typical review also says that the sushi isn't the best, I agree with them there. Also another item that wasn't bad but nothing spectacular, either. The plus with the sushi, however, is that there is more meat than rice fillers. The place gets very crowded, and be prepared to park and walk a bit unless you're lucky to find something close. Outdoor seating seems to be the popular way to dine.

How have I not reviewed this place yet! My wife and I have been coming here for years and it is hands down the best sushi in Nashville overall. Tack on great (AMAZING) prices w/ fantastic customer service and it really can't be beat. Service is always quick; we've ordered pretty much everything off the menu and all tastes amazing and the staff is very nice.

Eboni S.

I really like this place but I was a tad bit disappointed last time. I ordered the Gyoza pot stickers. The last time I order them they were perfect. This time they were really bad. It tasted like there was some mystery meat in them. I'm not vegan but the menu said vegetarian. They said there wasn't any meat in it and I never said I didn't believe them. They went so far as to bring out the bag that they were in. That disappointed me a little more because I thought they made them but they don't. Needless to say, the sushi is always good and the servers are super cool and laid back. I recommend this place because they are open late, the sushi is cheap and really good, and it's a cool place.

It was a Sunday afternoon at 11:30pm and we were craving a burger from PM. We entered the restaurant and saw no one. No customers, not staff, we though they might not be open yet, but soon a server came out and sat us. We picked the outside-ish patio that used to be open air but they've since enclosed it and it has garage door windows that can open if the weather is nice. Today was sunny and about 91 at 11am, so a HOT day. We skimmed the menu. I almost always get the burger with bacon and mushrooms. I was trying to decide between sushi or burger. The burger won out and we ordered a crunch shrimp roll to split as an appetizer. About the patio. It's nice if the windows are open and the weather is nice. They've got ac inside it, but there always seems to be a lot of flies in the patio. Those big, slow moving flies that always want to land on you, your food, your everything. I asked the server if we could go in and he said it was no problem. We picked a table up front. Our server was very friendly, which kind of surprised me. I've never had a rude server at PM, but my experience with PM and Blvd (another Arnold Myint establishment) is that the servers are always so blasÃ© and act like they really don't want to be there. It didn't take too long for our sushi roll to arrive. It was good, the amount of Panko crumbs in it is a lot. Like, you need to dip it in soy sauce or have a glass of water ready because it'll make your mouth dry and you might have difficulty swallowing. Reminded me a little of the saltine cracker challenge. The burgers arrived soon after. The burger is $9 and each topping is .50 cents. So my burger with bacon and mushrooms was ten bucks. I got the fries, which are huge steak fries with flake salt on them. So yummy. A side comes with the price of the burger. If you're looking to spice things up, order the red curry ranch with the burger. It goes well with it and it's even good to dip your fries in and it's no extra charge. My visit today was pretty good. The bacon on the burger wasn't warm, which was kind of a bummer but I guess it was prepared the day before seeing as how we were the first customers. With Blvd looking so nice and new, it kind of makes PM look like it could stand to use a facelift.

Wondering around the Belmont area looking for a dinner spot, my hubs and I sought out PM for dinner last week. I've been a fan of Chef Myint's food for a long time, but never had a chance to come in this restaurant. The food was incredible. I slurped up my chicken/vegetable lo mein noodles with delight while trying to ignore the warn/dingy atmosphere of the restaurant's interior. I felt as though I was eating in a college bar and the students were about to arrive and order their round of shots. My hubs didn't mind as he raved about the beef pho. Had the patio not been full, maybe that would have made the experience a little better. But I can guarantee we will be back to order take out!

Alex M.

With so many amazing sushi restaurants in Nashville, this was a huge disappointment. We came here while staying in the area, the tables were sticky and, generally, it didn't seem to be clean throughout. This made eating the sushi and rolls beyond challenging. Very unappetizing. If you want truly inspired sushi and Asian dishes, go to Virago downtown!!

Luke G.

We visited PM on a recommendation from the front door lady at the Bluebird. What a great recommendation! The menu is filled with fantastic selections. Great sushi, great appetizers, and great service. If you are questioning a visit here, don't hesitate to wander in. PS make sure you try the Sriracha ranch dressing... AMAZING!

Victoria L.

I've always felt PM is very overrated. All of my interactions with the staff have been very...blah. The food is also blah. I've never had an eel roll that was bland before. My experiences with PM have always been below average but I would go there if someone else insisted or picked the place. However, the cockroach in the restroom was the final straw for me. There is an abundance of better sushi options out there than this place.

Pretty decent pho. What's up with the loud TV? Pho-king distracting!

I always talk up the PM Burger but the last time I had it, I wasn't impressed. I requested medium rare and received it well done. I ate it because I was hungry. Still kinda bummed about it though. Burger Up is better.

Obsessed with the Pad Thai, Peanut Fondue, Shrimp Summer Rolls, and Thai Wrap with Tofu. Honestly, it never fails. It's the place I head to when I want something gluttonous, as I don't eat southern food. Has a great menu for those of us who are indecisive!
(5)
Anna J.

Sushi here is pretty average, and portions are extremely small for the price. I would skip the sushi and go for their other menu items. The original chicken sandwich is pretty good, especially with the sweet potato fries. The tuna salad was very disappointing. They should use mixed greens and not just iceberg lettuce. The tuna also did not taste very fresh. The service was good, but very slow. Don't expect this place to knock your socks off.

One of the best veggie burgers in that part of town. Excellent sushi & really friendly server. Clean place, good location, great prices. Sorry for the incomplete sentences. Stop judging my writing and go to PM for dinner - you'll love it!

We ate here a few nights ago with some friends who have lived in Nashville for a while and frequent PM. My husband and I really liked this place! We sat down first and ordered a drink. I was so excited when I saw they have ginger beer! So far, so good! For starters, we ordered the sesame and coconut rice tofu pouches. Theirs was a really good version of inari that we both always order if it's on a sushi menu. They were so large that after having 2 of them, I wasn't as hungry as I thought I would be when our entrees came out. For our entrees, my husband ordered the veggie burger with steak fries and the summer sushi roll. I ordered the tofu thai wrap with sweet potato fries and the PM sushi roll. Our food came out quickly. The veggie burger was GREAT. Possibly one of the very best veggie burgers I've ever tried. It was covered in a delicious Asian BBQ sauce. I will order it next time. I didn't try his fries but he said they were good. The summer roll was good though. Not out of this world, but good sushi. The wrap I ordered was really good but I wish I had requested no onions. They were really potent and I picked them off. The peanut sauce that came with the wrap also came on the PM roll. It was really good. Thick and peanuty! The roll itself was good but I wish I had ordered something different because it tasted too much like the wrap because of the sauce. The sweet potato "fries" were more like a huge sweet potato cut into thick slices and baked with a little sea salt. They were good but nothing great and I wouldn't necessarily call them fries. We will definitely be back. The food was really good and for a beer, an appetizer, a burger, a wrap, and two sushi rolls, our bill was around $47. Not too shabby!

Based on the website, I was expecting something much more elegant. It felt like a dive bar, which wasn't the vibe I was looking for for a business lunch. And the pad thai was the worst I have ever had. We were also disconcerted by how often our waiter ran his hands through his hair. I hope he was washing them afterwards, but I would be surprised if he was. Cringe.

Demi W.

My boyfriend and I came here the other night and ordered the Thai nachos. The chicken was extremely rubbery and it definitely didn't seemed cooked all the way. We felt uncomfortable about the chicken after a few bites, we even left with a full plate of it left on the table it wasn't an option to get it taken off the bill. The next day I called to let them know how sick we both got hoping for compensation but a simple "thanks for telling us" was all I received. I am extremely disappointed. Especially because we come here so often.

Jake S.

Wow..just Wow.. PM is already my personal favorite restaurant in Nashville but tonight I had the perfect dish. The SPICY BASIL STIR FRY is soooooo good I want to order seconds. Perfect amount of spice, more seafood than I expected and the basil, oooh the basil was sent from heaven and placed inside this dish for my taste buds to savor. It will be almost impossible to ever order anything else on the menu. Do your mouth a favor ORDER IT.

PM was a definite regular spot for us years ago and always fit the bill when in the mood for sushi. We were in the hood for the evening and were on the lookout for something vegetarian and, of course, up pops PM on our yelpy radar. It was a pretty busy night but we were sat immediately inside at a table. There's no mistaking that most are looking for an al fresco dining experience in Nashville. It's gorgeous. I think we missed the boat a bit with our order, unfortunately. I do remember loving their sushi and especially going nuts over their veggie burger. We went a bit of a different route -- Veggie Fritters - These were a little bland on our end. Not sure if we just got a weird batch? They did have some visibly delicious veg within, but the flavors were a bit flat. The dipping sauce was interesting, too. A different take on honey mustard. Not my favorite. Veggie Mu Shu - Where the veggies were pretty good, the crepes, which are typically softer, chewier, and a bit more structured, were pretty bad. They fell apart and had a really bad texture altogether. I forewent them and just ate the veggies, which again, were fantastic. Veggie Lo Mein - Holy sesame oil, Batman! That's really all I can say. It was so overwhelmingly sesame-laden that it was a bit hard to eat bite after bite. My wife only ate about 1/3 of it. The setting of this place is just awesome, though. Killer place for a drink on the patio or even at the bar. I'd definitely recommend the sushi and veggie burger, but the items we had are a little less-than passable. Either way, still a huge fan of PM!

Okay... people need to understand PM for what it is and what it isn't: What it isn't: This is not your place to relish in Asian food if you are remotely concerned about authenticity. I made the mistake of bringing my friend who has a thing for Thai after frequent business trips there. So basically anybody who has expectations of genuineness might not find this the most savory. What it is: an oddball eclectic menu of sushi and random Asian dishes that are enriched with some extra seasoning and flavor to fulfill the college student/young adult/soccer mom palate. So basically, this isn't a cultural experience, more like an opportunity have any sort of Asian food and mix it together. I mean the food is good... just not great. Its kind of fresh, but not scream out your mouth freshest thing on earth with some super creative work behind it. The service is attentive, but just okay. Oh and god save you if you need to park.

Great sushi and some of the best service I have had in a very long time! Our water glasses didn't get any lower than 4/5 full, and they went out of their way to make sure everything was great!

If you are a vegetarian and are served chicken instead of tofu to end your 5+ year streak of no meat, expect to be offered free drinks and a comp for the meal. Then expect them all on your bill, because they were just kidding. In fact, they'll awkwardly send all kinds of staff your way to 'not know what is going on' to get you frustrated enough to just leave. Later when you call to confront the manager. "Krooze" will refuse to help you to make the situation right. PM used to be a fine restaurant and we enjoyed it many times. Its sad to see the service fall so profoundly.

PM: Pretty Mediocre At first glance this place seems like such a good idea but in actuality it is one of the worst sushi places in Nashville. I've gone here a few times at friends' requests so I jave given this place a few tries. The mixed drinks were creative and delicious but I didn't drink enough of them to make the rest of the food better. The food was disappointing and overpriced. They used the cheap break away chopsticks that didn't break evenly. The music was loud and distracting. Sitting outside leaves you victim to smokers. The food was barely passable and the sushi was old. I ordered the sashimi and what I got should not have been served. With a texture and taste so horrible it must have been going bad that evening. This place has such potential and I am sure the feeling behind its creation was pure but the food was barely passable. You can tell the owner and creative chef behind the menu are not the ones making the food. The staff was friendly but lacked experience, chatting me up but leaving me without water. My waiter was talkative but left dirty plates on my table the whole meal. I've had the pho, which is alright. There are better pho places in Nashville. The tempura was passable but most of the other shared plates are disappointing. I will not be going back.

Belmont roll is the one to order! The first attempt to dine here failed. Yes we should have made a reservation. It was difficult to find a parking place but we finally found one only to discover the wait was over an hour. We were too hungry to wait so we went somewhere else. I would highly recommend reservations. This place is across the street from the college and stays very busy. We decided to make our return visit during summer when the majority of college kids were back home. We stopped for lunch and we were seated immediately. We started with the Belmont roll. This roll had salmon, tuna, and crab deep-fried. It was great. I ordered the mushroom and vegetable moo shu for my entree. The filling was very good but I didn't love the crepe. It was wet and thick and tore in several places. I gave up trying to get them to hold the filling and just ate the mushrooms and vegetables. I wish I would have stuck to the sushi and ordered more rolls.

Joining my friends after a long day of work, I just really wanted to enjoy some great food in a laid back atmosphere. I had a hankering for Thai and PM was our destination for the night to hopefully fulfill that craving. PM surprised me. Their extensive, diverse menu: sushi, Thai infused entrees, traditional Thai. The chill, take a deep breath environment: again, hipster chic. (My friends were in hipster crush heaven!) All the ingredients I needed to unwind. Several entrees looked appealing to me- Cold Sesame Noodles, unique sushi rolls, the list goes on. I opted for the Thai Chicken Salad upon recommendation of our very funny server, Mick. Resting on a bed of fresh mixed greens, the Thai peanut sauce held a lovely mixture of shredded chicken, carrots, cucumbers, and peanuts. The sauce had a nice kick of spice which complimented well with the coolness of the mixed greens. The shredded chicken was tender and the portion was surprisingly large. Often, I find, salads topped with meat are sparse and you have to dig for the pieces. Not in this case. Affordable, great service, located in a great area- PM offers a dining experience that will make you a repeat customer.

New years eve in Nashville was great, good friends, new city (first time in Nashville), great food and drinks thanks to PM. was able to stroll in and get a table for three with no problem at all, really was expecting a wait being NYE and the place was certainly busy. There were two-for-one drinks on well liquor which i certainly can appreciate, and the place smelled great! We shared an appetizer of the coconut calamari which was pretty bangin' and i had the citrus beef salad for dinner and boy was it good! The wait staff were all very friendly and helpful with questions about some menu items. I would definitely say to try that citrus beef salad, you can view my picture of the meal i've attached to get a bit of an idea of what to expect but the picture does no justice to the deliciousness of this treat! The rice is very sticky (it's supposed to be) and one of the other staff members happened to inform us that it took 20 hours to make, time well spent i must say. Try it, and get back to me on if i'm right or not.

This place is ok not really you're nice fine dine for Thai food. They have a mix of Thai and American food. The Thai food here is not authentic at all. To Americanized. If you love raw sushi this is your place. It's near the Belmont University so mostly a college hang out place to drink.

What I liked: 1. The Thai Wrap- extra peanut sauce please! 2. The Sushi- I only wish there were more options. 3. Brownie tempura donuts- If funnel cake and brownies had an amazing "tempura" baby, this would be it. Delicious! What I didn't like: 1. The sweet potato fries- These were essentially just sliced sweet potatos and the skin made them hard to eat. 2. The service- While out waitress was very nice, the computer system timed out as our check was being processed. Yes, things happen but we were kept waiting without apology or explanation until the end. They might be too accustomed to serving college kids and forget that adults are also their customers! The verdict- Try it out and get the donuts!

Sarah K.

Our food was good...the atmosphere was just okay, but we were seated inside. It might have been nicer outside partially because the music was very loud inside even though the restaurant was half empty. The Thai Iced Tea was excellent!

First off, PM is one of my favorite late night sushi spots. On occasion I have gone in and sat down to eat but I usually just place a pick up order. Tonight I went in and sat down. My waitress was a skinny girl with a short bowl cut. She was rude from the beginning and ruined the beginning of my meal. Luckily the sushi is delish so I kept it moving but watch for her.
(4)
Charles S.

I like PM, but there are a couple of issues that prevent me from awarding it more than a three star rating. First: Why are all of your employees in street clothes? I get the desire to avoid a uniform, but that doesn't mean that your staff can't at least be dressed professionally. When I'm greeted by someone wearing a hoodie and seated by someone wearing a stocking cap and a Titans t-shirt, I'm not sure who's an employee and who's a guest. You can avoid the uniform but still have a professional appearance. Second: Our waitress was friendly and great at suggesting menu items. Unfortunately it appeared she had absolutely NO experience using a two-step wine tool. I almost offered to open my own bottle of wine just to spare her the embarrassment of struggling with the bottle for nearly 5 minutes. Third: If you're going to participate in Restaurant Week, don't put menu items on your special menu that are so obviously an attempt to move inventory that otherwise doesn't move. I enjoyed my Seafood and Basil Stir Fry, but when I looked over your menu and saw the majority of the ingredients in the dish weren't located in any other dishes, it made me wonder just how fresh the ingredients were. Fourth: The desserts on the Restaurant Week menu were absolutely terrible. The Green Tea Ice Cream was so bitter, it just begged for some other ingredient to cut the bitter flavor. The Tempura brownie just tasted like a funnel cake with a low-quality brownie inside. I DID enjoy the sushi, and I imagine that's what keeps the place in business, as the majority of the patrons appeared to be Belmont students getting their sushi fix. Pick a niche and do it well, that will ensure the success of the concept. When you try to be everything to everyone you just end up truly pleasing no one. In short, PM is a great spot for sushi. The service is friendly, but could use a little more training on the finer points of service.

Delicious pad Thai! Loved that it came wrapped in an omelette. Perfect balance of sweet and salty. Good service and really appreciate that they're open late. Opt for some cold unfiltered sake and you won't be disappointed.

This was the first restaurant I've experienced in Nashville and I keep coming back. Everything I've had is absolutely delicious from the veggie burger to the sushi pizza. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is visiting Nashville, TN.
