    Please don't judge a book by it's cover...from the outside you might say oh I will take a pass we almost did...but once you walk in you are treated like family the food and Saki selection is amazing some of the best Sushi and Sashimi I have had.

    Cucumber Salad... perfect. $4.95
    Christian K.

    OK... A New Found Glory I *Yelped* "bbq" and this place popped up as second closest... the closest was Famous Dave's but, Barbecue Sakebob seemed way more interesting. Right as I walked in I did a double take on the "People Love Us On Yelp" sticker. I don't think I've seen one in real life before... coolness. Pic- http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_bXmv62evP8MJ0iVcmgM7w?select=K2uqGdi1AL6UrTQU0-Gn7Q . Here's the skinny: Decor - some people don't like it... I'm meh... about it too. The Cucumber Salad - Sweet Baby Jesus... Loved it! Lunch Box Specials - cheap and plenty of food. Shochu Martini - Ermagerd - must try. Here's the fat: OK, so the decor is a bit "cheap" or whatever a previous reviewer said... I'm good with it. Though "Visual Appeal" has a lot to do with the atmosphere of a place I still believe it's the crowd, the employees and the general warmth(not temperature) of a place. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted very nicely, asked if it was my first time yada, yada, yada... sat down(2:15 ish) and immediately was lost. My server was more than happy to point out what's they're specialty and what people order the most, she made it real easy for me - I liked that. First thing I went for because it looked awesome on the menu was the Cucumber Salad. I thought it was pretty darn perfect, little bit of crab, lots of fresh cucumber, sesame seeds (I think) in a sauce that was sweet and slightly sour. Not like Sweet and Sour sauce, something all together different. I'd recommend it, especially for the price - $4.95 Picture - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_bXmv62evP8MJ0iVcmgM7w?select=GgI89Pav32WIz0n3jvHneA The Chicken Lunchbox Special is ridiculous, for $7.95 you get Miso Soup, White Rice, 4 California Rolls, some Tempura, a Green Salad(good freaking dressing) and a small portion of Teriyaki Chicken. Picture- http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_bXmv62evP8MJ0iVcmgM7w?select=OHYzlIL4MBio9CgZqlvong Miso soup - came out super hot, was very tasty and I liked the little mini tofu cubes... cute. The salad that comes with the Lunchbox was simple, nothing special but, it was fresh and the dressing was great. They've got the Chicken to Rice ratio down pretty good. Chicken was nice and tender, good flavor and sauce, the rice was... well, rice. Cali. rolls I'm not a big sushi buff so I can't really judge these too much but, I liked 'em they were pretty darn good. I'm not a fan of the Tempura, it was nice and crispy but, to me something was missing... can't put my finger on it though. Ahhh... the Shochu Martini... This thing is sofa king light, citrusy and refreshing, it's a serious competitor for "Best Drink I Ever Had" top 5 for sure. Picture - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_bXmv62evP8MJ0iVcmgM7w?select=P3xgwRPsQz3YeoLyl7NQSg Barbeque Sakebob is a place that'd I'm coming back to, at least for the lunch specials. The whole meal I had today was $20.64 plus tip... if you're wondering pricing. SYOY

    Happy Hour!

    Definitely one of my favorite sushi places! I highly recommend the Las Vegas roll, but then again there isn't much that I wouldn't recommend off the sushi menu. Happy Hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays are a great deal! Service and staff is wonderful! The owners are fun and down to earth people too. They're part of the reason my friends, and I come back. If you look closely, you can probably find our pictures on the wall. Also for those of you who are karaoke fans, they've got Magic Mic!! =)

One of the first things I noticed was how clean and well-maintained everything is--from the seating area to the food prep and kitchen spaces. That attention to cleanliness immediately stood out. I was promptly greeted by Jason upon entering and requested a seat at the bar. He took my drink order right away and asked if I would be choosing the all-you-can-eat (AYCE) option. I decided on the AYCE and sampled a variety of appetizers and sushi selections. The consistent standout across everything I tried was the freshness, quality, and flavor. Each item tasted thoughtfully prepared and well-seasoned. I've included photos listing all of my selections. Service from Jason was friendly and attentive throughout my visit. He maintained a steady presence, ensuring that additional orders were taken promptly and that my drink was always refilled. I will definitely be returning again in the near future.

After eating here 7 times now, I can say this place is pretty amazing. It gets better every time we come in. Opening weeks here were pretty rough- huge crowds, service was slow, etc, everything you'd expect from a popular new joint in a town that has needed a sushi restaurant. Every time I have been in since, though, it gets better and better. The waitstaff are now seasoned and can handle busy nights with ease. Bartenders make awesome and unique cocktails. The main draw is the cuisine, though. It's Korean/Japanese fusion. Beyond sushi, they have some exceptional Korean-inspired dishes. Even my super finicky daughters find stuff on the menu they love. My wife and sons love all the sushi, while I like to bounce around and try anything interesting and new. The ambience is super cool, and the servers know their stuff. It's so fantastic to have a place like this in downtown Frankfort. While we love our longtime restaurants, it's great having new stuff to enjoy- especially food as unique and creative as this. 5 well-deserved stars.

    Terrible customer service They will not take your order over…read morethe phone, they tell you to go online, but they don't tell you that online orders are turned off 1/2 hour before they close!! When I called back they still refused to take my order! That's ok, much better sushi at every other sushi restaurant in Frankfort, and better prices !!
