    Spicy miso ramen
    Aria H.

    Ventured in for some sushi since I was craving it. Nice little place in a shopping center. Service was quick and we were sat within minutes. We ordered two rolls and ramen to share. The rolls were good, fairly fresh. My husband really enjoyed -- " some of the best ramen I've ever had" -- the spicy miso ramen. We were both delighted to have the pork katsu was still crispy even while on the soup! Will probably be back to try the other ramen again.

    I will eat the spicy miso katsu ramen every single week during the winter. The best ramen in town. Service is very kind and attentive as well

    Amazing food!! Ramen is the best I've had in Lexington. Sushi Rolls are delicious too and service is great!! Not a chain and definitely worth checking out!

    This was my first time trying this restaurant. I heard great reviews from my friends saying their food was really good so I was excited to try. We got sat in there back private room which was nice. All the food was really delicious and super flavorful. The only downside I would say is the wait time to get everything. But the food is worth going back for.

    First time at Michikusa. Cute little place. Ordered a lunch special that came with soup or salad. Selected the salad, cold and crisp. The special was beautifully presented, with 4 pieces of sushi and a roll of your choice. Salmon for me. There was a little something extra, a piece with salmon eggs. There were also two additional pieces of tofu sushi. Excellent! A thoroughly enjoyable lunch. A very gracious server. 105

    Michikusa was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor was traditional yet modern, and the soft lighting created a cozy and intimate setting. But the real star of the show was the food. The spicy miso katsu ramen was out of this world. The spider roll was better than expected. The tempura sabo was just as expected. There were two shrimp and three vegatables, very perfectly battered. The sabo noodles came in a miso soup and was very hot when served. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable as well. Fast and accurate. Overall, I would highly recommend. 5 stars

    Authentic Japanese place, I saw some other Japanese people eating her too when I sat down. I got salmon with rice which was crispy and not dry. I enjoyed it overall. I saw other things on the menu other "Japanese" esque places may not offer so if your wanting to try something besides just California rolls this might be a good place to try out. They sat me at the bar and the older chef looked so serious I felt bad if I took out George so I didn't get to take any pics with him this time. But if he was out he would say chomp chomp cho...out of 3 chomps!

    Salmon don with soba
    Emma W.

    So glad I finally got to try Michikusa! Stopped in for lunch and ordered the salmon don and soba, both were excellent. The salmon was some of the highest quality sashimi I have ever had, the rice was perfectly cooked and well seasoned, and the soba noodles were delicious with a light and flavorful broth. The service was great and very friendly, and the restaurant is well decorated with a pleasant atmosphere. I will definitely be back to check out some of their specials!

    Great noodle dishes! The broth was very flavorful. I also ordered some sushi (tuna) and it was very good also, but oh those noodle.

The Valentine Roll is my personal favorite it's got that perfect mix of sweet and savory. The Dragon Roll is super flavorful too, and their poke bowl always hits the spot with fresh fish and a good balance of toppings. The staff are really nice, and service is fast, even during busy hours. It's also super close to campus, so it's perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner. Definitely a solid spot if you love sushi but don't want to spend too much. My go-to picks: Valentine Roll, Dragon Roll, and the Poke Bowl.

We've…read morepreviously ordered via DoorDash and remembered it being good, but tonight our food was greasy and not well prepared. We ordered general Tso's and the chicken portion was tiny compared to the lo mein and was both soggy and overly chewy; we didn't mean to get lo mein, but it was my mistake as I selected lo mein instead of white rice. Not their fault, but that being said, our very unpicky teens did not like the lo mein - it was very greasy. Chicken fried rice had a ton of chicken but not much flavor and was also greasy. Also cost extra to add egg. Teriyaki chicken was a hit with the teens and we only order it as a side to save $ because there's always more than enough rice from other entrees. Ginger wasabi does really bring it with the appetizers, and the dumplings, crab rangoon and spring rolls were gone in a flash and were all excellent - perfectly cooked and tons of flavor. One teen tried their boba tea and was not happy with it - the mango was very floral and overpowering. All in all, this was a hit and miss experience and we will likely not order from here again except for maybe appetizers as there are other similarly priced options with more consistent preparation. I will call out that the staff here is very friendly and they have a quick turnaround on filling orders

Tonight I opted for some seaweed salad, two rolls (Incredible and Dancing Eel), and the Bourbon Tso's Chicken. Last time I didn't like the Curry Udon, so I'm going to give a different Entre a try. The service is friendly and the atmosphere quiet. There are only a couple of other customers here. I normally get sake but it's actually really warm out today, so I'm gonna pass and just go with some water. The seaweed salad came out quickly. It was really cold and crisp, just the way I like it! Yum. My Entre came out before my sushi rolls. Bummer. My mouth is watering in anticipation. I must be hungry. The sushi rolls are large so they will be filling. So far they both are delicious. These were a good choice. I'm not sold on the Bourbon Tso's chicken. It's essentially fried chicken nuggets with a watery glaze sauce on them. I think it would taste better if the sauce was thicker and less tangy. Im not sure what makes it bourbon? I couldn't get any hints of that in the taste. I'm glad I have the sushi to keep going back to, because it is really tasty. I like this place, I will definitely be back, but I think I'll pass on their entree in the future and just stick with the sushi. This is twice now, I've not liked the main dishes. Overall, I think this spot offers a nice dining experience.
