We recently discovered JY Kitchen, although they've been in business since 2018. Sincerely, this…read moresmall place is spectacularly good: everything we've had has been pretty much the best example of every such dish. The Beef Bulgogi, the Creamy Crab Egg Roll (basically their Crab Rangoon), the Spicy Pork (my gosh that sauce is exquisitely good!), and the list goes on. Even so, the Pancake with Shrimp and Zucchini just knocked us over. The very nice man (of the couple who have the place) tells you not to eat all you want of it, because then you won't be able to eat your entree dish lol (and he's quite right). He said to take the rest home and enjoy it for breakfast, which we did. He's very careful to communicate information about what you've ordered (or are planning to order), such as that it doesn't come spicy unless you want it spicy, and then if you do, he's careful to find out how spicy you want it, and then, after he brings it, he even tells you how many grams of hot spice they put into it (23 grams, for my Bulgogi, which was perfect but which could have been adjusted either way after that to really dial into what a person is comfortable with)! They make everything themselves, down to the miso soup and the amazing gochujang sauce (I've never had better and I'm pretty sure I never will). The wife is the chef, and I think she's a culinary genius (and have told her so). And they're both just so sweet and nice, and are very, very good at what they do. The place isn't fancy, and isn't even obvious as you drive down the street looking for it, but anyone who appreciates tasty authentic Korean food would be wise indeed to make it a point to experience JY Kitchen. Looking forward to trying the next thing on the menu when we go back (but we need to give them a break from us - we've been there about once a week for the last 3 weeks and we live 30 minutes away lol).

Overall, JY kitchen was a tasty and very homey place to get Korean food. Upon entering, it appears…read moreas though the place was a refurbished home, and we were taken to a room with dining tables. It was nice, as we had the entire room to ourselves, and the owner frequently came in to check up on us with how the food was tasting. The food itself was very tasty. The meal was very filling. We particularly enjoyed the scallion pancake, and the seasoning on the meat. Overall, a good dining experience at a reasonable price.

Cooking our own meat on the grill was a challenge at first but the flavor kept us wanting more. We got the soup as well and tried both the miso and mushroom bases. Both were equally delicious! My son loves seafood and was able to grill his own mussels and clams. Boba tea is also available. My daughter tried the green grape tea which was very delightful. Quite a large establishment with many tables so we didn't have a long wait. Very well ventilated we didn't leave smelling smoky at all. For a fun family experience I would surely recommend you try here!

So as a reviewer I have always reviewed places I have visited from a perspective of pleasure or…read moredispleasure, but they have always been places I am somewhat familiar with. Tonight I stepped well out my "normal" to experience something untypical from my usual. As the old adage goes, "Try it, you might like it". Tonight my wife and I ate at the KPot to celebrate my son's birthday. He and his wife joined us. We were a party of four. I'll be honest, I didn't necessarily enjoy my time spent there. But here is the anomaly to my typical review. It wasn't because the establishment did anything wrong. It just wasn't my jam. I will be honest, I didn't see a lot of gray hair there. I'm pushing fifty and the crowd I saw was the 20-35 crowd. Some families but not the overwhelming demographic. It seemed more like single and mingle and bff night out kind of crowd. There's nothing wrong with that of course, but we don't really fit that demographic. So despite my own lackluster feelings, let me give an honest review here. What was good? Let's start there. Parking lot fairly large and well lit. Greeted at the door with a smile. Wait was about fifteen minutes. Bathroom...impeccably clean. Dining area, also very clean. Tables were clean and all stations worked. Seating was ample. The atmosphere is modern and retro. Waiters work alongside robots to provide food to the tables. It has a very contemporary ambience. Everything brought to the table was fresh and well presented. We purchased the K Pot and the barbecue so we could immerse ourselves in the complete experience. The food tased good. Here is what I didn't care for. First, when stuff was brought to the table, no one explained what each service was and we lost track of what was delivered to our table. We all kind of sat there trying to figure out which service had been delivered to the table and whose order had arrived. Four people cooking became a little chaotic to suit me. Again, just not my thing. I enjoy sitting down and relaxing while someone else cooks my meal. Doing so myself was not relaxing. I didn't like having to wait between courses to heat up the rest of my meal before eating it. Had I understood the concept better I may have timed my eating while cooking was being done, I don't know. The other thing that contributed to my lackluster experience was that all the sauces were listed using their traditional names, which gave me no indication of what they tasted like. Part of the fun I guess is experimenting, but again, I'd much rather just order something I know I enjoy eating. The guessing game was not something I found appellate. We also found that after awhile of eating and ordering, the waiter came around less often and our plates no longer were cleared by bus staff. We started to genuinely feel like we were subliminally being pushed out. Our waiter wasn't bad but nothing stood out per se about his service. I went for quite awhile with an empty drink and had to ask twice for the same refill. Given some of the spicy stuff I was trying, a fresh beverage would have been appreciated. Here is my honest take. If you like a modern and unique dining experience, this is a great place to go. It does not have a cozy or romantic feel. It is very "hip" atmosphere. I left full. I left having had a new experience in life. My family had a good time together celebrating my son's birthday. It was a win. The last thing I have to mention is price. My daughter in law had a ten dollar drink but other than that we all did standard soda or water drinks. Our bill was almost $200. Some may argue that's fair. It seemed a little high for food I had to cook on my own. I honestly probably won't be back, but that is no fault of this establishment. They run a clean friendly restaurant and it's worth eating there at the very least, once. For that reason I give it five stars! If this is your jam, you'll like jamming here. If it's not, you came you saw and you left full. If you didn't, it's your fault!

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 reply was timely and informed me that the sushi bar was "First come first serve basis. We do not take reservations for the sushi bar.

We were told that the seats that were open were actually reserved for friends of the owner who were coming later. I have loved this place for years but the blatant lie in their reply to the very date and time I had requested for a reservation has permanently changed my "go to" choice for sushi in Lexington, Luckily, we are no longer a city with few options for good sushi. I will be patronizing other sushi restaurants that do not tell customers that the bar is "first come first serve" when they clearly do not keep to that practice.

Across from Goodfella's Pizza, this place offers a quiet and quaint option for those who love Sushi and other Asian foods as well as an extensive bourbon list (including Pappy's 23). We went on a Monday night and there were only a handful of people in the restaurant so it was a nice quiet evening. Prices were very reasonable and there are a lot of Asian Tapas offerings and a wide variety of sushi rolls. They even have some vegan options which was important to our group. Their bourbon list is extensive and they have several other options for those not interested in bourbon. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I had the Crab Rangoon Roll and Korean Tacos with Slaw. The roll was tasty and fresh. The tacos were my favorite part as the flavors just melded together and complimented each other nicely. This would be a great place to go with a group of people, grab a bunch of dishes and give everyone a taste.
