    We stopped in here for dinner to celebrate our friends birthday. No wait to be seated and I get like we were treated like royalty. Sushi, wine and hibachi and a special birthday dessert treat. Service and food were amazing! I will for sure visit again.

    My party of 6 had a great experience at Raw. Our server was really attentive. We ordered drinks, an edamame app, sushi and entrees. Everything tasted great! It was really special that they brought us out a desert for our friends birthday!

    We are driving from Detroit to New Orleans to move our daughter int o college and were looking for a nice spot to stop for dinner. I never would have expected to find a special sushi place like this in the middle of Kentucky??!! Most creative and tasty sushi I've had in a very long time!!! The flavor combinations of the different rolls cannot be found anywhere else. My husband and daughter loved the miso soup and gyoza app and I thought the "berry cado" was amazing! That's lightly fried avocado wedges topped with crab and with the most complementary berry sauce. It's hard to explain but just order it! Our three specialty rolls were the Flamingo, the BeBe and the Midnight Train. Impossible to describe here so read the menu but you can't go wrong no matter what you try. I wish we lived closer because there is so much left on the menu for me! I also ordered a house red wine and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. (And it was only $6!) For the three of us: three apps, three rolls, wine and a coke=$75 plus tip. Well worth it. We will stop here each time Very friendly service too

    I have gone to Raw Shushi Bare and Grill for the last time. I rarely go there anyway, even though they are about 5 minutes from my home, because there are at least three other sushi places that are less expensive and have larger and better quality rolls within 20 minutes (well worth the drive). The last straw was yesterday when I went there because there was a traffic jam that prevented me from going to the better places. I ordered seven rolls for my family, one of which was a yellow tail roll for myself. I was talking and not really looking at the sushi closely, and when I put the first piece of yellow tail in my mouth I knew instantly that it was bad. There was a terrible flavor, odor, and it was incredibly slimy. Fortunately, I was able to spit it out and rinse my mouth out before I swallowed any of it. I took a closer look and saw that there were no real pieces of yellow tail in the roll, just decomposing slime (see photos). My family and I probably eat sushi at least once a week, so I know what fresh fish tastes like as compared to spoiled. This is the first time I can ever remember having to spit out a piece of sushi, and I will never let that happen again. I am all about supporting local/small businesses, but I can't imagine how sick I would be had I actually eaten that roll. Never again Raw Sushi Bar and Grill.

    I am super jealous that LaGrange has such an amazing sushi bar and Frankfort does not. (This places blows Ginza out of the water) I am super impressed with how hot and fresh my udon was. It is made fresh to order and is really tasty. The tempura veggies that come with it have the perfect amount of crunch. The rolls are pretty impressive. The maui waui roll with the blue. Really pretty. I am looking forward to my next business meeting that takes me to LaGrange.

    One of the best restaurants in all of Lagrange and Louisville the chefs are definitely skilled and the service was impeccable definitely will be back

    Salmon was burned, vegetables not crisp and miso soup average at best. Spend your $ elsewhere!

    I am sorry to have to write this review since my husband and I have loved Rikishi since it first…read moreopened. Delightfully fresh ingredients, innovative rolls, personal service, all to a boomer rock soundtrack -- we had found our sushi dream for Oldham County fulfilled! The Covid period took a lot of good restaurants down but we kept hoping Rikishi would stay afloat. It did, but with supply chain issues and lack of staff. Which I think brought about the subpar Rikishi that we initially fell in love with. The location of Rikishi has not changed but so much has that we hardly recognize it any more! Very little of Rikishi's table service is personal anymore. You are seated and asked to fill out an order form for your drinks, appetizers, and dinner. No one showed up to personally take an order but to pick up your form. We were pointed to the form a couple of times before we ever got someone to just bring drinks. The old Rikishi was not at all like this! Tonight, we ordered two reliable staples -- miso soup and squid salad. The best parts of dinner were then over as the rolls we ordered did not satisfy as usual. The spicy tuna roll tasted like a watered down version of their usual -- not fresh, not full flavored, something was just off. Watered down is the best we could guess. We were asked to scan a QR code to pay for dinner. At that point, in my mind, we had taken our own orders, received subpar sushi, and then proceeded to process our own check. We always tip graciously but, this time, we asked ourselves what we were tipping for -- service? Again, I hated to write this review. My only hope is that the owners care enough (and have the resources) to go back to their original formula of great service, fantastic sushi, and that wonderfully fun classic/yacht rock soundtrack. Rikishi was our favorite; hope it will be again someday!

    I come here just for the sushi! I truly could not write enough about how delicious the sushi here…read moreis. I've been going to Samurai for date nights and friend dinners for years and every roll is huge and fresh, and I always have great service. Good sushi is hard to find in land locked Kentucky! Samurai must have great sources for their fish because the freshness is very apparent, every time I go. Favorite rolls: Mark's Roll, Happy Sunday, Texas Roll, Barbie's Favorite, Sakura Roll, and Midnight Roll but truthfully, you cannot go wrong. We heard the story of our favorite roll! The Mark's roll was named after a very kind soul that was a friend of the restaurant that sadly passed away. He loved spicy food and was the light of the room, so the fried jalalpeno and flaming plate make the perfect homage to him. The love and care Samurai has for their customers and the community is unmatched! Come cute with 15 people, or in your pajamas with your bestie. The atmosphere is very welcoming; casual but romantic still. Either way come ready to EAT!

    I won't be back--and I wouldn't recommend it…read more I ordered their best available Cabernet . The first glass was good, I understand this is not a wine bar so no complaints. The second was completely off--overripe, heavy blackberry notes, clearly oxidized and not the same quality wine. This is what happens when a bottle has been open too long. When I pointed it out, instead of addressing it professionally, the server repeatedly insisted it was from the same bottle and argued with me. That's not just poor service--that's dismissive and borderline insulting. I wasn't trying to get out of paying. I explicitly said I would pay for the glass and not drink it--which I did. I left the full glass on the table. At that point, the appropriate response would have been to move on. Instead, the argument continued. For context, I spent 22 years in the wine and spirits industry. I know the difference--but frankly, anyone could have smelled and tasted how off that wine was. I still paid and tipped 20%, but the issue isn't the charge--it's the way this was handled. Arguing with a customer instead of listening is unacceptable. Do better.

    We came here as part of a family get together with my girlfriends family. It was my first time…read morevisiting this particular Chinese buffet and I am actually fairly impressed. First off the staff actually cares about the place, they were running around grabbing drink orders, grabbings plates off of tables, etc. The selection isn't huge but they do have a sushi bar, but once again without the big selection. They had roughly around 5 different sushi types to choose from and they all tasted good with the exception of one that was subpar. The tables were clean, the staff friendly, and the food actually tasted above average for a Chinese buffet. That could be due to the fact that I was starving, but hey, we all come here to exhaust that. Overall I enjoyed the buffet and the entire experience. Will definitely be returning when I'm in the area.
