    House soba.
    Michael E.

    Went there in a Saturday as soon as they opened. I got the house soba noodles. A little pricy, but you will eat! Have ate here several times and the food has been consistent. Alway pretty busy, which is good.

    Pretty good other than the spring rolls could've used more vegetables. But the portions of the main course made up for it.

    Fresh and fast. We eat almost once a week. I get the steak noodles. They make everything to order. It is the value in central Ky.

    The chicken is slightly over cooked but I would definitely give them another try. Fast friendly service and a lot of food for a great price.

They also have a wide range of sushi choices. Always fresh! Their menu offers many other options, but I am just stuck on their chicken hibachi. You will never leave hungry or disappointed!

    I honestly hardly leave a bad review... and I am giving 2 stars just because of a long…read morerelationship. I have been going here since the 1st day it opened and for Richmond KY it was a much needed restaurant... and it was a good one for years. However, as of late its just went down hill. I decided to get some Sushi as I was craving it the other day and it was honestly the last straw... I don't think I'll be back. So I order the Sushi Sashimi Deluxe and some other rolls to go and when I got home I was saddened from the start. 1. When I pulled it out of the bag I greeted with Tuna, Salmon, Yellow Tail and Alabacore Sashimi... but the Salmon was really brown, granted yes that can be safe to eat if its not slimy or bad smelling... but as you eat with your eyes first so it wasn't appealing... but sadly it was slimy and not something I felt safe eating. 2. So I eat the other Sashimi and it good enough. So I move on to the Sushi but same issue with the Salmon, not edible. So I go to take my first bite... something went terribly wrong... the Sushi Rice was like dry and hard, it was like I had put uncooked rice in my mouth... I thought it may be just a bad one... nope all of them was like that. 3. So the meal came with an Angry Dragon Roll and I had ordered a couple of other rolls as well... all bad the rice just made them inedible. Topped with bad Salmon it was a meal I wish I could forget. I hope they can restore the restaurant to its former glory but I can't in good conscience recommend it... stay away until they can get some things fixed... if you don't go perhaps the grill is better but I wouldn't bet on it...

    First time dining here. I was staying at a near by hotel and it was within walking distance…read more The restaurant itself has a cool vibe. It felt very authentic waking in. I ordered some hot sake and green tea to start off. It was frigid outside. The seaweed salad I ordered was good but the miso soup that I didn't expect that came with my order was some of the best I've had. The other salad that came with the soup wasn't great. It honestly had little flavor, but that's ok because everything else was good so far. I ordered some sushi and a beef dish for the main course. I thought the dragon roll, fried shrimp tempura roll and an eel roll sounded good tonight. I also ordered the Yakiniku beef stir fry dish. I know what you're thinking, but I haven't eaten all day. So back off! lol Everything I had was delicious. Lots of flavor. The fried shrimp roll was my least favorite, which is unusual since that is one of my go-to rolls. As for the service, she wasn't very attentive. I had to get the sushi chefs from behind the bar to help me a few times. It wasn't busy, but she may have put the priority on the bigger table she picked up. I'm a good tipper so this may have been a mistake. No worries...don't get yourself all worked up, I'll get her taken care of. Overall, I think tonight's meal experience was a hit. I'm happy with most everything I tasted. I would definitely recommend and come back here again.
