Excellent food and atmosphere, plenty of food options for everyone - from seafood to tempura vegetables to noodle bowls. Priced very fairly for the amount and quality of the food you get. Delicious!

Really wish I could give this a 6/5, because it was fantastic. Have heard from friends that we need to come here, and the ramen did not disappoint in the slightest. It felt so authentic to what we were use to, and non-comparable to elsewhere in Lexington. We will be coming back, and I highly recommend anyone else to try. Even on my travels across the US for work, this is a highlight.

Wonderful food, good prices. The service was a slightly more casual pace but the food and atmosphere was absolutely worth it! Wait staff was phenomenally kind and a delight to interact with. I got the Tempura Udon and it was quite delicious and very satisfying.I know I'll be frequenting here as often as I can and highly recommend others give it a shot!

Hands down, best sushi I’ve had in Lexington (and I’ve tried quite a bit). Their takoyaki was also phenomenal. Seriously, try it if you get the chance.The prices are on-par with what you’ll find at most sushi restaurants, outside of the really cheap stuff. But boy is the difference in quality noticeable.

The entree was yummy and the sauce that they give with the gyoza I also had was delicious! I personally feel that the edamame could have had a little bit more salt but no biggie.However... The waiter's customer service is atrocious and he definitely needs training! I travel every week so I was by myself and sitting at the sushi bar. The waiter took 10mins to get my drink order (water), by then I already knew what I wanted but he didn't come back around until only immediately after the chef noticed that I haven't been helped (approximately 15-20 additional mins from getting the water) and the chef personally took my order. I will say the restaurant became more busy and I will give the waiter credit that he was trying his best (I could feel the wind as he darted through the restaurant, so I know he was hustling in his own way.) However I don't think he has been a waiter for a long time, or knows how to be effective at all. I could tell the chef was seeing what was going on as he decided to give me both of my appetizers directly vs me waiting for the waiter, however when my entree arrived he waited for the waiter as I heard him ding the bell multiple times at separate times before the waiter went to grab the food. I could understand and was initially being patient with it all as I wasn't in a rush to be anywhere. However by the time a couple sat next to me to my right I was almost done with my meal and was ready for the check. I was observing the restaurant on occasion while I waited and it started to slow down and empty out. By this time I figured he would get my check soon. However after waiting almost an hour for the check, I saw he brought the check to the couple to the right of me unprompted. At that point I was baffled and completely done with the service. The next time he came around I asked for the check. I mean literally an hour as I noticed my meal was rang up at 7:12 but I didn't leave until 9:20.I am assuming that this is a one off kind of night, but I witnessed similar service to the other patrons. The waiter clearly needs more training on how to effectively handle customers as I could have easily paid for my meal left and allowed another patron to sit down. I may think about coming back but only for a take out.I write this in hopes that he'll be trained better and improve the experience for future customers. However, if it was not for the chef taking initiative to help me it would been a one star.

Dinner was sooooo good! Everything from Sushi, Tempura Vegetables and the Noodle Bowls! My curried pork was awesome, just can't remember it's Japanese name!

Chill, minimal atmosphere. Our server was the kindest man! He was very friendly. Fish was fresh and we like the selection on their specials board. My favorite was the curry udon and the pork belly eggplant. Everything was pretty tasty. The beef tataki was unexpectedly expensive $14 for 5 thin slices of beef. It didn’t feel like it was any special type of beef, so that was a little disappointing. The food came out a little slow (there was 3 tables including us at the time)and the price was slightly higher than average sushi places. I would dine in again and try something new.

Waited over two hours for my order. My friends got their food, but I never did. My friend flagged the waitress down and asked where our sushi was. She didn’t answer but literally ran away. I tried to flag her down several times and she completely ignored me. My husband went up to the register to ask where our food was. They didn’t apologize, just said they would take the items we didn’t get off our ticket. They didn’t even comp anything for the horrible service. We will definitely not go back!

Phenomenal. The miso Ramen was absolutely superb. The service was so polite and hard working and attentive. We we definitely be back. I can't believe I just now found this place. Small space but the ambiance was clean and cozy.

This is our second time and everything from the kitchen menu is authentic with the right flavors that hits just the right way. Sushi isn't the best we've had but can be a good complement to dinner. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu
