The Best Places to Eat Japanese Food in Knoxville, TN
"Speaking of out of the way, Lemon Grass in Maryville isn’t exactly around the corner for most Knoxvillians, but it made a good enough impression on me during my first visit years ago that I’ve actually darkened that door way more than once since then. The intimate Thai eatery does devote a portion of its limited square footage to sushi preparation, including six-piece sushi-roll classics like California rolls and creations with main ingredients like tuna, salmon, yellowtail and eel. Chef’s specialties (eight to 10 pieces) start with the Lemon Grass Roll – shrimp tempura and cucumber topped with freshwater eel, avocado and eel sauce."
"Mikata Japanese Grill is a one-stop restaurant for genuine Asian dishes. The healthy dishes offered here are made by mixing some of the best ingredients to come up with a meal that you will enjoy its flavor, aroma, and taste. You will also find the menu featuring rarely heard dishes such as seaweed salad, tuna avocado roll, miso soup, pork katsu, and many more."
"James White was the founder of Knoxville, and now you can see how he would have lived by visiting his former house, known as the James White Fort. The home is the perfect place to learn all about frontier life, and you can enjoy hands on displays here like cooking, spinning, and even blacksmith workshops. There are also special holiday events here at this working life museum such as ghost tours around Halloween, so make sure to check out what is on when you are in town."
"The James White Fort was built for James White as he led an expedition into the upper Tennessee Valley to reach the land of what we know as Knoxville. The fort was chosen as the capital of the Southwest Territory in 1790 and was donated in 1791. In 1970, the place was converted to a museum and since then the place holds the tools of wars, houses and other facets of the frontier life."
"They pay attention to detail at this longtime West Knoxville tradition, which features authentic Italian cuisine and an intimate dining experience. Dim lights and cozy ambiance provide a perfect setting for birthdays, anniversaries, and of course, Valentine’s Day celebrations. There’s lots of love given to basics, like the homemade garlic bread and salad."
