The inside of the restaurant looked elegant; I loved the dark interior and the fancy tables. They have an extensive menu, I had trouble choosing. They are fairly priced too. I ordered one specialty roll and it was delicious. Not only was it fresh, it was filling. I ended up paying less than $20 for a single meal; not bad for dinner time. My friend ordered a variety of items and everything was delivered quickly to the table. In the end they give you a delicious, tiny piece of cheesecake... I was pleasantly surprised. I really want to come back or try other locations. It was a 9.5/10 for me.

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!

Takeout experience from Sumo:…read more Easy online ordering. 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!

I really wanted it to be good, and the two stars are only for the ramen because I'd have to rate…read moreone star based on the sushi and cleanliness. The ramen was good - but not great. Probably pretty good for around here but I've had some really amazing ramen in CA and it doesn't compare. The pork in the spicy ramen was ok, and the broth was flavorful. The bok Choy could have been charred and it would have been better. The sushi menu is extremely limited, and they didn't even have a spicy tuna roll and couldn't prepare one. That's a pretty basic tool to not offer. So I wanted to try and find a new spot, but this isn't hitting for me. The big ick for me was the flys. They were landing on our table and food and it was really gross.

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!

Great Japanese food in Lexington! Impressed to find high quality sashimi and noodles in Kentucky…read more I'm Japanese and hadn't seen a single Asian person in my first 4 days in Lexington. 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.
