A cozy Japanese gem tucked away in downtown Lexington! I stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how great the lunch combos are—amazing value for the price. The menu is extensive, and judging by what I tried, I wouldn’t be surprised if everything on it is delicious. The bar also caught my eye, with a wide selection of sake that’s definitely worth exploring next time!

The food, the atmosphere and the service was all stellar! As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. I walked by this place several times this week and didn't think much of it, but one you step inside be ready to be surprised at how roomy and well decorated this former bank turned restaurant is. The sushi was UNBELIEVABLE, I've never had honey sauce on sushi, it was AMAZING. I've been on a big honey kick lately. The Ramen was really good and the curry was phenomenal. Can't wait to come back!

Not a “how are you tonight?” even a smile from anyone the whole night. We were eventually seated, with no explanation of why it took so long. Once seated, the chairs were uncomfortable and felt like the legs were loose, basically a cheap chair that you could get off Amazon. Took about 20 more minutes for someone to come to our table, but server was not friendly whatsoever. Didn’t even ask if we wanted anything to drink, just sat down glasses of water. We ordered sushi, ramen, and

I’ve been coming here for the last few years, and the quality of food has always been phenomenal. Genuinely the best sushi and ramen in Lexington, in my opinion. I highly highly recommend!!
