Incredible dinner in a fabulous atmosphere. When we inquired about the building’s history we were given a personal tour. Joslin was so enthusiastic & knowledgeable it’s now going to be a “must-stop” when we’re back in Lexington.

They are perfect on all levels. Sushi is in point. Service is amazing. Same servers for years and they are all great. Aps are good. Solid draft beers. We have had sushi all over and keep coming back to this spot. Best we have found.

Random find while looking for a family dinner on a road trip. Excellent all around. Lauren was a great server, and the food couldn't have been faster or more delicious. Just what we needed. If ever in the area again, will definitely be back.

I had the Pork Cutlet Curry and it was fantastic. I lived in Japan for 3 years and this is as authentic as they come.

Everything was great. Food was very quickAnd delicious, beers were cold and service was great! I would definitely go back. The only turn off was when they bring your bill, there is no place to fill in your tip amount. They give you three options and ask your to choose, while they are holding the paper right in front of you. It is very uncomfortable. However, I had such great service and food, I didn't mind tipping the max they had printed.

Great and authentic Japanese food. Very affordable. Service was fast and friendly. I would recommend making a reservation if you are going for dinner on the weekend so you have a guaranteed spot.

My family and I are visiting from Chicago and decided to go to Tachibana for dinner tonight — 10/10. The staff were so friendly and happy to answer any questions we had and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was just what we needed being away from home.

Amazing food. I got the bento box for dinner and the green apple cocktail. The bento box had an amazing variety of sashimi slices, crispy tempura, grilled fish, and beef. The miso soup was also really tasty. One of my companions got a bunch of individual sushi’s/sashimis and they brought it out in a boat! Super cute presentation. For dessert I ordered the mochi, it was pretty good.

Traditional Japanese restaurant with a large, very authentic menu. There are a lot of appetizer options, including fried squid and takoyaki. The sushi is reasonably priced and fresh. We also tried the teriyaki salmon and everyone at our table liked it.Vegetarian options: Tempura, soups, tofu dishes, noodles.Kid-friendliness: Wide selection of food.Wheelchair accessibility: No issues rolling our daughter in. No stairs anywhere.

Interesting out-of-the-way location. Classic sushi menu with excellent ingredient quality at exactly the right price. Definitely a solid experience, but maybe not for super adventurous sushi eaters (which I am not so it was perfect).---Went back again recently and enjoyed perfectly fried Chicken Katsu and some excellent ramen. This place is quickly becoming a favorite. Fairly priced, good service, and not overly crowded so far.
