I had my heart set on sushi, but my wife through me a curve ball and ordered a Rainbow Poke bowl. So, I decided to skip the sushi and try the Chef Special Yakisoba. We started with miso soup, the only disappointment in our lunch. The soup was served barely warm, very mild, and exceptionally salty. My wife's Rainbow Poke bowl Started with a base of rice and topped with fresh veggies and 4 types of fish. I'm not a fan of poke bowls, but this one was pretty good. More importantly, my wife loved it. My Chef special Yakisoba was excellent. Served piping hot, the noodles were smothered with beef, shrimp and chicken. Pile on a fried egg and that's a pretty special dish. Service was friendly, with the server stopping by every now and then, but the kitchen was slow. We waited quite a while for our soup and hot tea. I don't know if the problem was the kitchen or the server was daydreaming. But nothing that would spoil a nice meal at a very welcoming restaurant. read more

I'll give 2 stars cause the food was delicious but we won't be back. They made us wait at the door, wait for drinks, wait for the food, and wait for our check. I'm a patient person. It was amiserable experience. read more

Probably our favorite sushi ever! Nothing is overly greasy or oily. I think my husband has tried every sushi item on the menu and hasn't had anything he doesn't like. Our favorite for a quick date night or to go meal. read more

I have driven past this hard to notice little dining place. Now I'm obligated to return for lunch. Dinner was so well put together lunch has to be great and paired with a cost that my wallet will be much happier with. I have always wanted to compare fine quality sushi to what I normally get "buffet" sushi WOW the difference is amazing. The service is top notch . We tried the misawa imperial and I would have found fault with the price but the quality of everything explained the cost. read more

This has become one of my favorite places to get sushi. I don't get to come here often but when I do, it is always excellent. It was my boyfriend's first time there. We ordered the house salad, Kani (squid) salad, and a seaweed salad along with six rolls. My boyfriend's favorite sushi roll was Redbull. The steak was nicely torched and cut thinly so it was the perfect portion. The sauces were perfectly complementary. In fact, we enjoyed all of the rolls that we ordered which doesn't happen often. The Kani salad was something I don't usually order but I was highly impressed. I love squid but there are times I am afraid they would be overcooked so I'm weary to order it at times. I was pleasantly surprised how tender the squid was cooked and prepared. The sauce in the salad was in was very flavorful. It became one of my favorite parts of our meal, too bad I forgot to take a picture of it because we quickly devoured it. I ordered our seaweed salad to go, so I could enjoy it at home. It wasn't crowded in the restaurant. We came at dinner time on a Monday, there were a few other tables of people there. We were sat right away and our server kindly greeted us shortly. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. We felt very comfortable. Our server Cha was excellent as well, and was kind and friendly, courteous, and also prompt, and efficient. My boyfriend's birthday was coming up and our server surprised us with a special dessert, which was the tempura cheesecake. The batter was light and airy and the cheesecake delicious. My boyfriend and I often eat out and we must say this was one of favorite dining experiences! We took about three rolls home because we got full from the salads. His niece didn't come with us and likes sushi as well so we planned on bringing her some. We brought home the leftover rolls and she finished all of the rolls by herself in an instant. That's how much she enjoyed it as well. She will be joining us next time we go. read more

We had a superb dinner tonight at Misawa. To be quiet honest, I didn't know this place existed until today. It's located off Bardstown Rd in Fern Creek so battling that traffic isn't very fun. The place is very cozy and inviting inside. There's not many tables so it's a good idea to make reservations ahead of time like we did. I started the evening with a house salad which was so fresh and delicious. I saw that the goyza came highly recommended so I order that as an appetizer to share. It came as a surprise to me that even my 3 year old loved it. His meal of fried rice and shrimp was a little on the salty side with too much sauce. He likes his food pretty plain Jane. I got the perfect combination roll and was very impressed by the flavors and sauces. The service was so nice and friendly. Just a top notch experience all around. I would highly recommend for a nice evening out. read more

Misawa is a sushi establishment located in fern creek right off Bardstown road tucked in a shopping center next to kohls dept store. Very tiny establishment on the inside. We Arrived today with my wife, oldest daughter and her best friend. The menu is decent sized so we took a few minutes and carefully picked out our orders. Service was fast and solid. We started with a tempura calamari. It was was a bit over cooked but still solid. Not as good as other tempura calamari we have had. We got 5 different sushi's rolls. We got Pacific heat, miss veedol, playboy, Cali cream and faithful. Faithful was my favorite tasting one followed by the moss veedol. But they were all pretty solid. Overall nice intimate place with good sushi and solid pricing. Total was only just over $60. So not bad at all for a sushi establishment. Calamari not the greatest but outside of that we had a good time and experience. I'm sure we will come back eventually. read more

If you are craving sushi rolls, be sure to visit Misawa. Located in Bardstown Road, the family-owned restaurant offers quality sushi rolls at a reasonable price. As you enter the place you can definitely feel the unique and modern ambience of the restaurant. Unlike its competitors, Misawa positions itself to be a contemporary and upscale, yet still casual, American-Japanese restaurant. My go-to sushi order is the Miss Veedol roll. It has a generous serving of spicy crab and tempura, then topped with salmon and drizzled with eel sauce and spicy mayo. The flavors work so well together. Our server Joanna also recommended the Derby roll, and I ended up loving the dish too! The seared scallop is the perfect addition to the roll, as the smokey taste from the seared side of the scallop complemented the delicate freshness of the scallop and shrimp. For the third roll, we decided to try a deep-fried roll. Their Sunday Morning roll is a spin on the staple deep-fried sushi roll-- it still has cream cheese, but with salmon replacing the usual spicy crab inside. For dessert, the sweet staff greeted my husband Happy Birthday with an equally beautiful and scrumptious tempura cheesecake! For date night, family lunch, catch up with friends, and anything in between-- go ahead and visit this place. Misawa definitely has our heart. read more

What is the perfect meal on a cold, snowy day? Ramen. I don't find myself in Fern Creek often, but I wanted to check Misawa out after hearing a lot of great things about it. While a big portion of their menu is sushi, they do have a lot of other things to choose from as well. With a few types of ramen on the list, I went with the miso tonkotsu ramen and it was soooo good! This is a great place to dine in at too, as the inside is really nice. The staff here are incredibly friendly as well. We were already planning on what we were going to order next time when we go back! read more

The food and service here is always great. The owner is always super nice. Definitely a neighborhood gem.

I tried to call the owners of this restaurant to share my feedback prior to posting, but when I called only a supervisor was available, so I am posting this with hopes they can improve. I also need to share that in Sept of 2023 I was in Japan for 12 days, so I saw and ate legit Sushi. Ordered a sashimi platter and some Nigiri. The pieces were very large, however, the Tuna seemed not fresh, the yellow tail was great. The shape of the sushi was very inconsistent, two pieces were "balls of rice" not the traditional oblong pieces that support the fish. The taste of the rice was okay, but did not seem to be traditional "vinegared rice". The decorative Daikon radish was a pile of wet; first time I ever had it soaking wet; they need to learn from other restaurants how to dry it out or not use it at all. They also had no shiso leaves and the scallop was definitely not fresh. I hope by sharing these details they can improve. read more

Sushi is my favorite food and Misawa is my favorite sushi place! They have a lot of options besides sushi, though, and they're all good. The service is great too. I just had my birthday there and the waiter was incredible. Very nice and patient with my family members who weren't very knowledgeable about Japanese food. It's a smaller space with no hibachi seating, but they do have a hibachi menu that's very good. Overall 10/10 experience every time :) read more

They do have a larger serving.- Second ambience is much more typical Japanese restaurant. read more

Misawa is a very good Sushi/Hibachi style restaurant located just moments from a very popular Japanese sushi establishment well known to the area. I was a bit skeptical of trying something new but decided to give it a go after seeing the wait times at the alternative. We were quickly seated, orders taken and served. The wait staff was super friendly, even asking for any recommendations to improve ours or other customers experience. I opted for the teriyaki salmon hibachi dinner and a couple sushi rolls. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired with the fried rice and vegetables, tasted wonderful. While everything was delicious, the prices seemed a little high on sushi and thus docked a star based on such. All in all, Misawa is a great dining experience that could very well consume some of the business from nearby sushi establishments. read more

We dined at Misawa Thursday evening and are always satisfied with the service and quality food. This feels like a family owned restaurant based on the regular staff that acknowledges repeat customers (which we qualify). The fried calamari is unique with thick cuts and honestly the best I have ever had. The dipping sauce is similar to yum yum sauce but with additional tangy taste which pairs well together. The Derby roll is always fantastic with a nice variety of sushi ingredients with an impressive presentation. This is a staple roll for our family to order. The crunch and yum yum rolls are similar to each other and are a great choice if you like crabstick style sushi. We ask for yum yum sauce on the side as well. They had half priced wine on Thursday but I opted for an Asahi beer. They provide a frosted glass for easier drinking. Misawa is a great sushi restaurant with an intimate setting and less crowded than Sake Blue down the street which always has long waits. We will be back based on the consistent great service and food we receive every time we visit. read more

I love Misawa! The food was amazing! I got 3 rolls, and they were all delicious and the presentation was great! I travel for work and eat sushi frequently and I can honestly say that it was one of the best places I've had. I also got the Chicken fried rice and it was perfect. Throw in a little yum yum sauce and you're golden. The service was top notch. Ordered online and they had it ready 15 mins before the estimated time. I will definitely be returning in the near future. A+ to you all at Misawa, keep up the fantastic job! read more

OMG this place is awesome! Loved the lower lit, planty vibes of this place and our waiter was so nice. All the food we got was absolutely incredible! I especially loved the Hot & Spicy roll but if you don't like wasabi, you won't like this of course. The grapefruit sake was so good, not bitter at all and the peach jelly sake was sweet & bubbly and really fun to try! We also got cheesecake tempura to go which we ate hours later and it was still really good! read more

All the hibachi prices without the hibachi. Came here expecting the "fire restaurant" vibes. You know the cook-it-in-front-of-you fire vibes. Nope. Just wait at your table till they finish cooking it behind the curtain. Food quality isn't any better than take out chinese food. So go get take out for a third of the cost. Really disappointed. People who've never had hibachi before will think it's alright. But if you've had the real deal then this is an unfortunate experience. Also totally missed on the Japanese sushi bar decor, then again it's Kentucky so not really a surprise there. Possibly an ok place for lunch. Service was fine enough for this place. Not worth the price. I left and I just had to lower the stars. It's possibly the worst "hibachi" restaurant I've ever eaten at. Dine at your wallets risk. Id rather eat 4 day old chick fil a off the ground. read more

I love finding a new Japanese place that has both sushi and hibachi because my fiancé loves sushi and I do not. My fiancé's sushi and my chicken hibachi from Misawa did not disappoint. We got takeout and originally tried to use their online ordering function but there was some kind of mistake that charged an additional fee when I tried to select my protein for the hibachi. The online ordering site also said that it would take 50-55 minutes so I decided to call instead. When I placed my order over the phone, they only told me 20 minutes and it was just about ready when I arrived. I had kind of a long drive home but our appetizers and hibachi stayed hot! Our only food complaint was that the spring rolls were dripping in oil, so much that the styrofoam box had a layer of it in the bottom. They were really good though if they had just been a little less greasy! They might have a few kinks to work out on their online ordering, but I will definitely go back when we are in the Fern Creek area. read more
