    Best sushi ive had in this state & its not even close! Fresh fish from Tokyo! Great sake prices as well. Our waitress Brooke was the BEST too! Great sense of humor & funny quips. Like she wanted to actually be there! Unlike most servers! Will 1000% be back.

    Fantastic!! The food and service is always just step ahead of the other top Sushi restaurants here. Three steps ahead of most… thanks for a great meal and to Maddie for staging everything so well. Even though much of the time she had six tables, she attends to everyone. Well oiled machine.

    Always the best selection of seafood, prepared perfectly. Each time we visit there is something new on the specials menu for us to try. Adam is our favorite server in town! Stop in, you won’t be disappointed.

    The food is fantastic. As always, and our waiter. He was great. I’m sorry I didn’t get his name. Highly recommend if you like sushi or fried tempura that’s the place to go.!!

    It had been several years since we visited last. The food and service was better than we remembered or expected. The ambiance is fine, but not quite the same level as the food. Easily a top two sushi restaurant in Lex. The bar was mildly disappointing but that may have been more my issue than theirs. We will definitely be back soon.
