    Lily and Texas rolls
    Keith H.

    Good service. Nice customers. Small, but powerful! Texas Roll and Lily Roll were both accurate and delicious. Two rolls, iced tea, and tip = $30

    I'm visiting Kentucky for a volleyball tournament and when I thought of Kentucky I wouldn't think I could get some of the best Asian food here but they superseded my expectations. Great food and outstanding customer service . The Hibachi with shrimp was amazing! This was my 1st time at White Buddha and they offer large portions for lunch I was more than satisfied. I would say it was a nice lunch. I will definitely be back and recommend this restaurant!! If you're in the downtown Lexington area you definitely need to give them a try!

    Soup & salad

    So glad we stumbled across this place. Just moved to a new part of town and have been searching for a new staple hibachi place, this will be it! Started with the moonlight roll wich was spicy crab and cream cheese all tempura, it was delicious. The portion sizes are HUGE! More than enough for 2 meals, and you can't beat the price. 10/10 recommend giving them a try if you're in the area!

    This is one of my favorite Louisville sushi spots. Every time we've visited, we are seated…read morepromptly and have had quick, kind service. There are a lot of sushi options here, both cooked and raw, and some rice, noodles, meats, and appetizers as well. The Osaka roll is fire! For real though, when this dish is brought to the table, there are flames on the plate. This is my favorite roll.

    This place is THE coziest japanese restaurant to go to in Louisville. From the decor, to the warm…read moregreetings of the people taking your order, to the savory/fresh dishes, eating here is like getting a big hug through all 5 senses. I went with my partner and ordered the Miso Soup, Rainbow Roll (replaced shrimp with yellow tail) and a Vegetable Fried Rice. Listen. The fried rice is absolutely where it's at. You wanna talk savory? This is it. Flavor? Yes, it's all here. Quantity? Surely something that tastes so comforting and warm would be scarce. NOPE! They LOAD your plate with fried rice, it's like a compact mountain of deliciousness whose savory goodness pairs extremely well with the mellow, soothing flavor of their Miso Soup. Their Rainbow Roll was also very good, especially with the portion size. It has a fresh taste where it lets you know it was made the moment before it got to your table. I replaced the shrimp only because my partner is allergic to crawfish and I wanted her to try some, but I've had it with shrimp before and recommend you have it with it. I focused a lot on the comfortable vibes here because I think that's what Osaka excels at. Eating here is like going to visit your mom after a while and she makes you your favorite dish just how you remember it. Maybe you've had a better tasting version of it somewhere else, but this is MOM's cooking. Its flavors are great, the portion size is great, and it's made with love and care; with you in mind. For a modest price you get bang for your buck here, absolutely come give this place a try if you're in the area.

Food was very good once we got to having it prepared. Staff was kind and helpful as best they could! The restaurant was nicely decorated. It's been awhile since I've eaten here before and this was the longest wait time I've had. Great place to eat; just check to make sure on wait time.

We went back tonight and decided to just sit at the bar and get that roll I've been craving and some other sushi. We walked in and Danielle, the bartender, was on her phone, facing us, as she greeted us, never looked up, and then finally when she was done with her phone she asked if we knew what we wanted to drink even though we hadn't even been offered menus. Throughout the experience she continued to be on her phone. She was not hospitable and seemed to be in a bad mood. Another employee sat at the bar on her phone and they conversed, while both on their phones. Multiple times, Danielle slammed her phone down after reading and texting. The environment was uncomfortable and there was no music loud enough to mask the employees. We liked the food and the company better at the hibachi grill with people who don't work there. I'm not sure if we'll be back.
