What an awesome restaurant! Fantastic atmosphere, wonderful service and delicious food. Looking for Bourbon? They have a massive selection. The worst part for me was trying to decide what to order without overeating! I will be back because I didn't order any sushi.

Stopped by on a trip through Lexington and genuinely enjoyed my visit. The food was delicious: some of the better eel I've had in a while, and the tonkatsu was thin but juicy, served with crisp veg and delicious rice. Service was prompt, friendly, and...Read More

Went here on a whim, and man, was it delicious! Even our 19 month old loved the sushi. The curry was amazing and the teriyaki was so flavorful. Definitely recommend if you're thinking about it!

Great place for lunch, however, a bit too loud for a business lunch / dinner meeting. The staff could be a bit faster too . But other than that, I like this place. Great selection, on point prices and the kaarage chicken is amazing !

Go to lunch spot on West side of Lexington. Cool atmosphere and plenty of choices other than fish. I usually get the bento box, but tried the Chirashi bowl instead. If you like sushi you will love this!!
