Tekka is the only Japanese restaurant that we go to in Lexington. The food is always excellent and flavorful. Even without the entrée I could eat the soup and salad all day. So delicious. We have never had a bad food experience here. The service is usually on point as well. Some of the chefs are more animated than others but still always a great experience. I will say that I have had their sushi and I prefer Aqua but that's just personal preference.
Sat at the sushi bar, chefs were friendly even though very busy. They sent me a cucumber salad on the house because of the wait time. Playboy roll was great, the tempura shrimp was still hot from the fryer. Miso soup was delicious & nigiri was as well. Only complaint was that the nori was stale. Overall 8/10, mostly because the roll was perfect and the chefs were nice and friendly! PS: I’m a sushi chef and pickier than most customers would be. Great spot ??
Never had a Japanese cuisine experience before. The bartender (I ate solo) guided me through what everything was, what went with what, and gave me due caution about this thick Tokyo tea alcoholic drink that got me buzzing halfway through. Very patient and thoughtful of her. Quite happy with trying Japanese food for the first time here. Feel like I got a bargain for the price of the total experience.
I had the steak hibachi. My daughter had the shrimp hibachi. My son had the chicken and steak hibachi and we all had refried rice and mixed vegetables. I ordered the plum wine but they were out. So I got a beer and it was fine. I would highly recommend this place. Very clean very nice people.
This is absolutely my favorite restaurant in Lexington! I adore this place with my whole heart. I try to visit as often as I can and bring my family. The food is excellent and I really enjoy the service! I do not eat hibachi often, I usually get a dining table and order from the kitchen. The hibachi is good but the kitchen is even better! I do not eat sushi but my partner has told me she really likes the sushi here. Food is a tad expensive, especially for a large family, but I feel like it is beyond worth it. I would give Tekka six stars if I could!
A super fun dining experience! It also depends on the cook whose doing the hibachi and dining. The ones who do all kinds on tricks are sooo fun and worth every penny and tips for making the dining experience more enjoyable ?. The other cooks who just literally cook and only does the "toss" tiny pieces of food in your mouth is still fun and the food is very tasty. Worth a try is you like hibachi and fried rice ? ?????
Well I've been here multiple times but I won't be coming back. Ate there for lunch spent over 100 dollars and left my card in the payment book they brought to me. I left a generous tip and all and when I returned 4 hours later to get my card back they said there was no card left. I literally went to one place all morning and for sure left it at the restaurant. Sad they don't care to look after there customers at all. Makes sense though as the chef spilled a drink all over another family as he was making the food. Pathetic service. I wont be back and I recommend you don't either if you are looking for somewhere to try for the first time, go anywhere but here!!!!
This was my second time at the restaurant. Food was amazing but the service was horrible. I was very embarrassed because I have invited seven (7) other people to join me to celebrate my husbands birthday and another friends birthday. We ordered drinks from the bar that took 30 minutes to get to our table, my wine was hot, my husbands was watered down and my friends beer was flat. Secondly, my daughters food was left off the chefs paper. He had go back to the kitchen to get her food. And the waitress spilled water all over my daughter’s seat and her phone. Thankfully she wasn’t sitting down at the time and iPhones are water resistant. Also my husband requested no veggies at all including in the rice. His rice had the peas, carrots and onions in it because the waitress messed that up too. The chef did make it right, which was great.
Everything is delicious! Staff is amazing as well. Great atmosphere
Food was awesome!!! Service was great , friendly, and quick.
