The wood decor made me feel like I'm in Japan. Great service and the head chef came to ask for feedback from us! Foods are so fresh, authentic, reasonable prices. I love my bento boxes. A bit of everything. Salmon are tender and not fishy at all. Beef are so umami. Sashimi is so fresh. Tempura is the correct crispiness & not oily. Our next table clients were all speak Japanese! So, we knew we are chosen the best Japanese restaurant due to their authenticity. Will come back here everytime I'm in LEX!

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.

A couple things I'll say, some of the lowest quality chicken I've had with some pieces so tough I…read morephysically could not chew through, and the rice had clearly been boiled and overcooked with how mushy it was.

Oh yeah, I also threw up after eating, and am 95% sure it was the chicken. I couldn't finish the chicken, so I'll show you what you're working with if you eat here.

Absolute crap packaging (leaks galore from multiple items) Good but not great food - definitely hit my craving for hibachi but wasn't spectacular. Steak was overcooked and chewy and fried rice could have used egg at the very least. Ginger dressing is SO good! Not sure what they do to their lettuce but it was super fresh. Volcano roll was teen approved, but rainbow roll was not great; something was off with the texture. Gyoza was DELISH. Best dish, followed by ginger dressing. Overall, a good but not great experience!

I have only eaten the Spicy Tan Tan (twice) so far and I haven't tried anything else on the menu yet, but there are a few things that I'm looking forward to. The Spicy Tan Tan is pork and there's not a big serving of the protein but it's all sooo good. I love the eggs and the vegetables are great.

The staff were incredibly sweet and also very busy. They didn't have much time for check ins outside of taking orders and dropping off food. I got the spicy beef ramen and it was really good. I probably should've asked for light spicy but the spice was like the red pepper paste on top so it was possible not to mix it all in. It wasn't too spicy for me, but it definitely woke my sinuses up. The beef off the bone was awesome! The other beef style was fine. I really enjoyed the boba tea and it was refreshing paired with the spicy soup. The server recommended her favorite, honeydew, and I added strawberry boba. Overall delicious, quick stop!

The menu was quite small with limited types of ramen. We ordered the tan tan ramen and the tonkatsu ramen. I should have known from the lack of Asians in the restaurant and the spinach in my ramen that something was up...the place was unfortunately not very good :( it lacked the depth in the soup that a typical ramen has. My tonkatsu ramen tasted mainly of bean sprouts and spinach and lacked that deep pork broth flavor. I added a spicy miso paste but it ended up overwhelming the soup. The tan tan ramen was the same way. It was just spicy with no depth in flavor. I wouldn't recommend this place unfortunately...

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw a group on Japanese business men and knew the food would be good. Wish I had discovered School Sushi earlier in my trip. Ate here two days in a row. Everything was good, and my top recommendation would be the mini chirasi bowl and the Tantanmen.

I'd order multiples of these and wished I had a third. The ponzu dipping sauce gave everything that extra kick. The second course was a sashimi platter. It was so good I dove right in and forgot to take a picture. The main course was tantan noodles. Looks were deceiving in this being more filling than the size it looked. The chili sauce really adds the spice. The spice isn't an immediate but more of a body build spice, still delicious. The noodles were a great texture and complimented the spices with it being cold. Definitely coming back here!
