This time I chose fried rice instead of playing it safe with white rice and I can honestly eat it alone. I can tell it also was made to order and not scooped out of a premade batch previously cooked

Doing so here makes me wonder if I have made a poor life choice. Lol Anyway, it's a decent bowl of ramen. The tonkatsu broth was okay, but clearly lacks some depth of flavor. The noodles and meat were okay too, but the best thing in the bowl was the wonderful egg. Service is not really existent, but I was taken back by the server telling me that they are closing multiple times even though I still have time left. I only took 15 minutes to eat my bowl of ramen btw.

I really wanted to like this place, but it was a miss from start to finish. If you're a true sushi…read morelover, I'd skip it. The fish didn't taste fresh, in fact, I literally gagged on the tuna. The sushi felt very commercial, and honestly, I've had fresher sushi from HEB. It also took a long time for our food to arrive, even though the restaurant was nearly empty on a quiet afternoon. By the time it came out, it just wasn't worth the wait. We actually left hungry. To top it off, my wife's beer was expired, and the restroom wasn't clean. If you're looking for authentic, fresh sushi, this probably isn't the place. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

Probably some of the best sushi in Lexington, in my opinion. The restaurant has the option to…read moreeither sit at hibachi tables, regular 4 top tables, or out on the table. We got the jaguar roll, the Aiken roll, and there was a special for something called the dinosaur roll. All 3 of them were absolutely delicious. We also got vegetable tempura which isn't something we typically get (usually crab rangoons if they're an option or dumplings, but decided to switch it up) and it was surprisingly so flavorful and delicious. Also comparable in price to other sit down sushi restaurants in the area. Highly recommend.

The owner / chef Ryo takes care in what he's making and shows great pride in his finished product and it tastes great too. He gets fish that other restaurants do not have access to or have chosen not to purchase. I have seen flying fish, jellyfish, fresh Cobia, fresh Spanish mackerel, live clams and scallops and other seafood that you cannot obtain anywhere else. If you are looking for the best sushi in the area, you don't need to go anywhere else. You can go anywhere and buy a California roll but that is really not what I would consider sushi that's like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and ordering a hot hot dog.

The fact that I'm the only Asian customer at this place says it all…read more I ordered Inakaya Fried Chicken, which is a split bone chicken wing per their menu. I was given chicken nuggets and told they don't have chicken wings... Glad I found their menu online to prove I wasn't crazy. Everything is either overcooked, dry, or super salty. No idea why this place was even packed. Sushi rice was dry. The chicken nugget thing mentioned above was overly dry and salty. Tonkotsu Ramen was overcooked. Either they chose the wrong type of noodle or let it sit forever before serving it. The two slices of meat that came with the ramen was maybe from pork chop meat? Usually it's made with cha shew meat or pork belly. Two super lean and dry slices of meat made the bowl look like a joke. The noodle was salty enough that I don't even want to try the broth. Edamame was okay. Other than the fact that they don't look appetizing, the shell was brownish and many bean pockets (if you know what I was trying to say) were empty, that's probably the best dish on the table. If you want sushi or ramen or anything that's on their menu, do yourself a favor and please try to find it somewhere else.

This restaurant is set up just like the one in Florence we enjoyed except there is more indoor seating table/booths. Our food was made to order with no complaints by me.

Their menu is pretty diverse as it has other options besides hibachi, such as chicken katsu. I ordered the chicken and filet mignon hibachi combo for my first time experience. The chefs cooked it on the grill in the back, so everything comes out fresh. The taste was as if you were eating it at a sit down hibachi restaurant, so the $20 per plate was definitely worth it but not cheap. My filet was cooked medium rare and came out the way requested. The sauces and seasoning weren't over powering and definitely not overly salty compared to other hibachi restaurants I've gone to. It's a great portion size too, with a scoop of friend rice, veggies and your protein choice. The staff were friendly as well. As a first timer, I wasn't sure about the menu items, so the lady up front gave me some recommendations and explained what the entrees were and what they came with for me to make my decision. There are dozens of tables and television for a dining experience, but it seems take out is what most people have been doing from what I've seen. Definitely will be back!

But immediately the service that the waitress informed us that they do not serve on Sundays, which must be new to us because we have always been here on Sundays and been able to do cocktails not only that the food was not the best not as fresh at all. Also, the waitress seemed to be very forgetful, even though we were literally one of four tables, it was 3 PM totally not busy at all. She must be too busy with her personal life or on her phone in the back room to attend and do her job properly. I rarely leave reviews like this, but I will never be coming here again. The owner or manager should really be more present and attentive as to how the servers speak to and communicate to PAYING customers. PAYING customers are literally how we fund your business! Don't forget that. RAY was our servers name. She was sweet enough but absolutely should NOT be a waitress or server anywhere. She really needs to look for a job that she's more qualified for. I was a server and bartender for over 10 years. It is really not that hard to get things right especially when you have four tables to attend to and that's it. This is the last straw. I told everyone in the restaurant never come back here sorry that I made a scene, but I highly recommend going to konnichiwa up the street. I promise you if this place does not reply or change it's ways I will recommend every single person coming in this is to rethink and drive half a mile to konnichiwa which is far better fresher and not frozen or rotted tasting food.
