Appetizers such as the hot wok tiger shrimp ($7.95) and soft-shell crab tatsuta-age ($6.95) clear a path through your throat jungle to help a steaming dish of pork curry udon ($8.45) warm your belly unencumbered.

Reviews
The Nashville Scene featured Ru San's opening, and Ru San's won the Readers' Poll for Best Sushi Bar in 2008:
- The breadth and complexity of the menu, combined with the loud, frenetic activity in this tightly configured room, are enough to inspire a severe bout of ADD. One finds items familiar to most American-Japanese restaurants here: sashimi, miso soup, teriyaki, tempura, edamame and seaweed salad. There are some oddities, particularly among the appetizers, like the freshwater eel with pesto-seasoned sushi rice baked with mozzarella cheese. – Nashville Scene
Nearly 100 Citysearchers give four stars:
- I was so happy to discover this place. The sushi is quite good and extremely reasonable. – laceydoo, Citysearch
- I was surprised to see the amount of food I got with my meal. They also had an excellent selection for vegetarians like myself. I found the music pretty cool, kind of like being at a club, but I was still able to hold a good, audible conversation. – phoenix95, Citysearch
