Cuisine: 6 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 4 Overall: 5 Somehow paying over $20 for a bowl of ramen in Lexington just feels wrong. That's what I begrudgingly pay in NYC and I rarely do that. 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 stopped in here one night after an appointment at a store in the same complex and I was very…read morepleased to find a pretty authentic ramen menu, while also offering options for proteins.

Keep your eye on prices, they do have some higher priced items. Most of it is very reasonable though.

We actually had a very enjoyable dining experience overall. The food was extremely fresh and…read moreauthentic, Everything tasted very traditional and high quality. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality, so overall it felt like great value for the money. The only disappointing part was the service. The server who attended to us did not seem very welcoming or enthusiastic, and the overall attitude felt rather cold. When we asked for extra ginger and sauce, he also seemed somewhat unwilling, which made the experience less comfortable. Overall, the food itself was excellent and definitely worth coming back for, but I do think the service attitude and professionalism of the staff could be improved.

It is still the best sushi bar in the Southeast. They have the largest variety of fresh fish and…read moreother seafood, but they also make traditional chicken and steaks. 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.

My sister brought me here and said it's the best sushi in the area. I can't say I've tried any…read moreother places; however, it was definitely the best sushi I've had in a long time! I live in Columbus and haven't had the options like CO has. We shared a green papaya salad, and it was delicious! I would eat an entire bowl by myself. Don't forget to tear up the basil - it completes the flavor! We got the Lotus, Lemon, Firecracker, Sesame and Pork Belly sushi rolls. That is the order I would rank the rolls in flavor. It is a shame if anyone uses shoyu (sou sauce) or even wasabi when eating these rolls. The lotus has a rice paper wrap (for those who don't like seaweed) and an aioli on top that was so refreshing and flavorful. The lemon was honestly a very close second - maybe even a tie for first. I don't normally like salmon but it was so fresh and the lemon slice was refreshing and clean!

It has everything I'm looking for in a Poke Bowl. - The interior is clean and beautiful. I wouldn't say it's a traditional looking restaurant by any means but the artistic choices make it feel a little more upscale than it actually is. Bad: - The wait. When I first got into the restaurant the host was not at the front desk. So I sat down for about 10 minutes and waited. The host only appeared after a family of three walked in. Note: I'd love to give the place 5 stars but with how I calculate stars I can't because of the initial seating issue. I will re-review eventually to see if the host seating is a consistent issue.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, and the service throughout the meal was attentive without being overbearing. The food absolutely delivered.

Overall, great atmosphere, excellent service, and consistently delicious food. I'll definitely be back!
