Sushi is high quality and food delivery devices (conveyer belt, train, and robot) are a bonus! Ability to clear plates from table by dropping in a shute is so cool! Sweets and sides are tasty and a plus as well. Servers are there to assist with ordering, refills on drinks, and any other request including bussing glassware off table. The ambiance is good, music playing and people chatting, not quiet but acceptable dining atmosphere. Would highly recommended and suggest getting on wait list on Yelp! if during high demand time periods. read more

I'm a regular at Toku, and I can confidently say that the quality is always on point. Always very clean, and the decorations are always so cute. Cindy, who works there everyday I believe, is the sweetest and always so accommodating and keeps an eye on anything you might need a top off on. I see her every time I go in, and I love seeing how she's been. I'm Japanese and have traveled to Japan with my dad (who is also a sushi chef) and I was born in California and had many different fish and sushi dishes in Japan, California, and NYC. And I can say that for Lexington, Toku is one out of two places that has the freshest quality of fish here. The Salmon Nigiri - regular, seared and with mayo, are melt in your mouth. The white tuna with yuzu and sea bream with yuzu have a lovely fresh zest to it and the fish texture is so good and a nice switch up to Salmon Nigiri. My boyfriend loves the scallops, yakiniku ribeye, eel, and sweet shrimp. Overall, lovely experience every time:) read more

What an experience. Revolving Sushi. I was thinking it would be just for the hype. I was wrong the sushi was absolutely terrific. It was so good. Service was perfect. Just sit in your seat as the food goes by grab a plate. Possibly a robot may bring you your food. Also it could be a train lol. Toku Revolving Sushi is such a cool place. I will definitely return. read more

I love sushi and really love convertor belt sushi! It's fun watching stuff go by and picking what you want to try instead of having to order whole rolls of everything. You can try lots of stuff! The quality is also good in general! The jalapeno yellow tail sashimi is delicious, as is the spicy Ahi handroll! The little robot waiter is also just fun! Awesome place, definitely coming back. read more

Toku Revolving Sushi - Special Delivery! - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Ok 5 stars, no notes. I had been dying to try this place and it really lived up to the hype. Lots of variety of sushi options at incredible prices. You can choose dishes off the conveyor or have them delivered directly to your table via sushi delivery car. I tried several different rolls and everything was great. The volcano and dynamite rolls were my favorites. Our server was pleasant, but you won't need to interact with them much since most things come out via the conveyer. It was busy, not a ton of tables in the space but really a perfect environment for the food. read more

Cool restaurant concept... food quality is a different story. It's my first time trying revolving sushi, and I like the "fun element" it adds to the meal! You either: order fresh from a menu, or choose from a conveyor belt of continuously-moving labeled sushi dishes. Take the plate and they cost $3.50 each. You slide dirty dishes into a slot and they tally up your bill. If you order fresh from a menu, your order gets custom-delivered higher above by a separate "food train" that arrives at your table. Very cool concept that I enjoyed! On the contrast, sadly, I found the food quality to be average. Some sushi's were solid (Spicy Girl and Godzilla rolls, Seaweed Salad). Others tasted like buffet-quality sushi, which is... fine but not great. The Sweet Shrimp tasted bland. Worst was the Tonkatsu Ramen, which likely had unwashed bamboo shoots. They made the entire dish smell and taste like rotten water. That was a bummer considering it cost $15. Overall, this is worth a visit just to enjoy the fun concept and get some decent sushi. But it'd be elevated with higher food quality. read more

It's been a while since I have been there but I throughly enjoyed it. My wife and son liked the variety. I will definitely recommend and should return soon read more

I've been here a few times now and it's always packed BUT, you can add yourself to the Yelp wait list instead of going in and joining the list at the restaurant which I love and appreciate. It's very reasonably priced although the most popular rolls are usually out of stock. You can request them on the iPad though and you'll get them in about 5-20 min depending on how busy they are. Their selection is good, but I wish they had more specialty rolls. Their deserts are good, and the atmosphere is very chill even when packed. Overall I'd give it a 9/10! read more

Toku is such a fun and refreshing addition to the Lexington food scene, which can feel a bit basic at times. The revolving sushi concept is already an experience on its own, but Toku takes it up a notch with the train that delivers your sushi orders right above the belt and even a robot that brings dishes to your table--it's interactive, unique, and memorable! Service was excellent--our waiter checked in frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. Ordering is also super easy with the iPad at each table, so if you don't see the roll you want on the belt, you can just order it fresh. The food was good overall. The ramen leaned a bit salty but was still tasty. The sushi rolls were delicious, and the Granola Roll really surprised us--the whipped cream and salmon combination actually worked! We're still working up the courage to try sashimi, so I can't review that yet, but we'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. I highly recommend Toku, not just for the food but for the whole experience. I really hope it continues to thrive--it would be great to see more unique restaurant concepts like this come to Lexington. read more

Toku Revolving Sushi - Sushi conveyor - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

It's amazing! The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star was because the sushi is usually lukewarm or warm instead of being cold. It makes sense though since it will have to travel all around the restaurant in a room temperature environment. The services are absolutely amazing and the workers are so so sweet! read more

Pretty solid sushi spot. Interior is clean and inviting, staff were friendly and quite helpful, and the iPad ordering system was fairly intuitive making it easy to order rolls that weren't available the time on the revolving conveyor belt. Once ordered they showed up in the separate track in a timely way. The sushi itself was also fairly good, fresh and tasty. The amount per plate was also quite reasonable and pricing was very fair. Would def recommend and will likely return. read more

After over a dozen visits, I can confirm that this restaurant is certainly a solid choice. The real quality here is in the experience and the concept. Being able to sample lots of smaller portions of various sushi, having different options available via either the conveyor or special order, and the whole self-service mentality are the key components of the Toku experience. After being seated, you are largely left to your own devices. If you are a bit of a "sushi snob", you may not enjoy it quite as much. The sushi quality is not exactly top notch, but everything is done well. Plus, they are consistent. Each trip has felt exactly the same, and I can appreciate that. It's a fun place to gather with friends and just enjoy hanging out while sampling items here and there. Pro tip: you may want to keep track of your own plates (especially when you're with a large group) to aid in splitting the check at the end. read more

Come for the experience, not the food. As you can expect, the food isn't as fresh. I give the food 3 stars. I came on a Saturday afternoon, and as you might have read through some of the other reviews, the conveyor might be a little empty when it gets to you. I sat on the very first booth coming out of the kitchen and it was still pretty empty. You can order specialty items through the tablet, which come to you in a cool little robot. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is pretty fun. The servers are really attentive and will explain the process if it's your first time at a revolving sushi restaurant. read more

Toku Revolving Sushi - Each plate is $3.50 - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This is fun for the atmosphere... revolving sushi and a little robot car that delivers items to your table. Overall the sushi is comparable to almost any sushi place in the area, but having the revolving option makes it nice. You don't over eat and get to try multiple things. Most plates have 3-4 pieces of a roll or a couple pieces of nigiri. read more

Toku Revolving Sushi - Revolving sushi! - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Me and my bf came here for the first time the other day and loved it. Sushi was fresh and tasted so good. Since we were new, we didn't really know how it worked and the staff were so kind and helpful. If there's something you want that you keep missing on the conveyor belt you can just order it straight to your table and a little car will bring it to you above the conveyor belt. The mango boba was good too. So convenient and sooooooo good!! read more

I get uber excited when I find revolving sushi joints - I love them and sadly we do not have any in Louisville. We were spending the day in Lexington and decided to check out Toku. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty disappointed. We sat next to the conveyor belt and the whole time there was hardly anything on it... The plates were empty by the time they got to us, and we were sitting in the middle of the restaurant. If there was anything, it was the same two or three rolls, with no card or anything to tell you what it was. The rest of the food you could get was on a tablet, and it was also pretty lackluster. I'm not too picky with my sushi, but there were only a few items that were appealing. I also ordered truffle fries, which on the photo looked like shoestring and covered in truffle oil, yet when I got them it looked nothing like the picture, but frozen-looking crinkle fries. The one sushi roll I did like off the menu though was pretty good, I'll give it that. The staff were also nice and attentive. I really wanted to like this place more. I wouldn't completely rule it out and may try it again in the future to see if anything's changed. read more

Really fun place to visit. Lotta fun to go with your friends and family, just because of the revolving sushi tray and the robots bringing you your food. While you can get any sushi that comes off of the conveyor belt, you can also order anything off the menu to be brought to your table from a tablet. There's a lot of variety in the food that they serve as well. Everything I've had there has been delicious, I'm an especially big fan of the Seared Scallops. The service has always been top notch, no matter how busy it was at the time. The only time I ever have a gripe is when I'm sat at the end of the conveyor belt and I'm not able to grab much, but since I'm able to just order from the menu, I'm usually okay with it. read more

Love the vibe and super fun addition to the dining experience. Service was attentive if a bit slow. Decor was modern - clean and bright. Food quality was really the issue. Cheap prices but definitely reflected in the level of sushi. Some selections sat longer than they should but we never waited long for anything to come back around. Ordering was simple as well. Food loves out of the kitchen relatively quickly. Would go back for a fun date experience but unlikely to be a regular stop. read more

Toku is such a fun spot for the whole family -- it's part dining, part entertainment. Between the robot that zips over with special orders and the conveyor belt full of colorful plates, it feels like dinner and a bit of a show. My kids really had a blast with the whole vibe. The sushi itself is solid. My favorite bite of the night was the seared salmon rolls -- melt-in-your-mouth, with just the right smoky finish. Most plates felt fresh and well put together. That said, every now and then a plate looked like it had been riding the conveyor belt for a little too long, so I'd recommend using the screen to order your favorites made to order (plus you get to see the robot in action!). Service was quick, the kids had a blast, and the atmosphere makes it a great spot for casual nights out when you want something a little different than your usual sushi dinner. read more

Toku Revolving Sushi - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

We've been to Toku multiple times now and it's quickly becoming our go to sushi spot. I've been spoiled by having really good sushi in Hawaii so finding something good in Kentucky was a chore. I love Toku's sushi and sashimi. Plus the conveyor belts and trains are just plain fun. My favorite is the Godzilla and the dynamite rolls, but I like some crunch on my rolls. Toku tends to sauce their rolls heavily, that might be a mainland thing. And the pepper ahi I tried was a bust, it had a weird lemon aftertaste but everything else was delicious and we will of course be back. read more

I love that Lexington got another conveyor belt sushi (after a decade of losing the last one) but this is not great. The conveyor had mostly fried rolls (sad panda), no nigiri's, and mostly empty. We ended up just ordering from the menu. Very sad excuse of conveyor belt sushi. But I understand, the majority of the customers were loving the fried rolls so it makes sense that they only had those on the conveyor. It seems like a waste of energy to even run the conveyor. Due to the fact that they have mostly empty conveyor plates and no variety, everyone is ordering a la carte. This is likely causing the sushi chefs to be backed up from a la carte orders so they can't fill the conveyor belt plates. I hope they figure this out soon. Maybe try eating at another successful conveyor belt sushi for inspiration. Note: the first plate of nigiri came by after 20 minutes of mostly empty plates coming by. On to the actual food: - they ran out of scallop (sad), it was good! - the nigiri rice is awful, breaks/falls apart so easily. Does not taste great. Please experiment more with sushi rice recipe. It really does make or break a nigiri when the rice is bad. - we got the wrong orders from the carts (this happened 3 times). It's fairly hard to track down someone on the floor to notify them when this type of issue happens. We didn't want to take someone else's food. But the cart won't leave. Not sure what to do in this situation.' - the matcha tiramisu was not tiramisu (the top layer was hard, because it's ice cream). Regardless still pretty tasty matcha. Just don't expect tiramisu consistency - the uni was delicious! I wish we had time to get more but after waiting so long for the first order of uni, we just stopped ordering. - ordered the pepper tuna, got peppered mackerel? I think they confused the fish. That's fine, still good. - We did not receive some of our a la carte orders: missed one plate of tuna with yuzu, two plates of squid, and a plate of negitiro gunkan. Also, the gacha machines did not work. Overall, not the best revolving sushi experience (even for Lexington). I miss School conveyor sushi. But, there's potential. I hope they work out the kinks in a few months. We'll be back eventually. Would love to update the review further. Total spent for 3 adults: $128 (before tip) read more

We loved Toku!!! First customers in for lunch and the concept is revolving sushi on a belt. However if there's anything you want, you order it and a CAR comes to deliver it to your table (see video for details). Sushi was pretty good and since we were early tasted fresh. We loved the seared salmon, Toku signature, crab Rangoon, and the wasabi hulk the most. We did try the matcha tiramisu which I liked because it is a bit heavy on the matcha. Service was good despite it being only two people and a huge crowd waiting for food. We were very impressed and will be back. Love the ambience too with paddles written with Japanese sayings and some games to play. Is it the best sushi I've ever had? Not necessarily but the ambience and concept make for a great experience. read more

I went with my parents and the food was amazing. the three of us ate generous portions and the total came out to about $50. i'd recommend the snow crab roll but all of the food is good. read more

So fun! The sushi selections are great, and the service is excellent. Wonderful atmosphere.

Fun experience. Everything was fresh and some of the best sushi I personally have had in the area. You order from a tablet and your order is sent to you, no need to flag down an employee. Altogether I would say I'll be back for a date night with my partner soon. read more

Came here August 31st and loved everything. Food was amazing--even for a non-sushi-eater like me, and the vibes were so cool! My friend tried a sake flight and was obsessed.

I'm glad I found this sushi go round in Lexington. I usually have to drive all the way to Ohio. I really liked the variety of sushi. I tried many rolls I hadn't heard of before. All very tasty. I think I only didn't like one roll that had mango on it . The waitress checked on us quite a bit which was great although we didn't need anything. I would say the only bad thing to me is that it's a bit pricey about $1 more per plate than I'm used to. But that aside I will surely go back as it's a great option in Lexington. read more

What a great experience! Very authentic to what I have seen for sushi bars in Japan. Sushi was great just wish they had more variety of simple rolls like yellowtail and such. The cost is affordable and the extras you can order are too. Try the ramen you won't be disappointed. I had the spicy miso and it was . My wife loved the robot food delivery and I loved the conveyor belt sushi. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely a gem if you are in Lexington. read more
