Zen Sushi & Sake

Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. An all time favorite restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky.

We had a lovely dinner! The food was exceptional and not at all the mundane copy-cat sushi menu. All the traditional favorites were thee, but their list of daily fresh offerings was extensive. The service was attentive but not invasive. Top on our list!

What a wonderful surprise to find sushi, flown in from Japan, in the middle of horse country! While passing through to visit the Bourbon Trail, my husband and I had a craving for sushi. Found Zen Sushi through the many 5* reviews, and it was all that and more! While it is in a shopping plaza, don't let that deceive you! We decided to sit at the actual Sushi bar vs the table we booked because we love to watch the chefs...we were lucky enough to have Kayla, the manager, serve us as both bar tender and server. Wow! She makes a wonderful cocktail. The sushi was amazing. We stuck with sashimi and a great Caliente roll. Another server even whipped up a sake shot for us to try. This team is well trained and so accommodating. One of the best sushi experiences we've had. We will return if ever in the area again!

Best sushi in Lexington. I love this place and the food is simply amazing. Adam our server is just delightful. We always request him.

Very fresh fish. Excellent service on a busy Sat. night.

I was visiting from Utah and asked someone in Costco for recommendations about their favorite restaurants in the area. He was from TX, but visits Lexington regularly. He highly recommended Zen Sushi and said Toyota executives from Japan visiting the nearby Toyota plant frequently visit because the fish is flown in fresh from Japan several times weekly. I ordered 3 rolls, Latin Heat, Xooxer (favorite), and incredible (2nd Favorite) the xooxer had grilled steak on top, and had such a delicious savory flavor.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Ordered the Incredible and Fancy Salmon rolls. Great presentation and even better tasting sushi. Will have to make my way back someday.

Truly fantastic sushi. All crafted with remarkable quality. Even simple maki rolls like the California were the best I've had.

As well traveled “foodies” and have dined in many Sushi restaurants ..this place hits the top of our list !! Our server was so personable and attentive. The Saki was served overflowed in the glass into a small wooden box for luck and prosperity..what a delightful touch to start the night! We ordered the Fried Dumplings appetizer… Delish ! Then moved onto main course .. we ordered the Zander, the Hajimari , and the Krispy Krunch …and the Volcano!!! ALL WERE EXCEPTIONAL!!! 🤩
We highly recommend dining here !!
