11 Best Sushi Bars near Nicholasville

“The food was great the service was fine our Chef was super kind and really funny. I was disappointed with not being able to get refills on my drinks. But I think it's kind of all over the place there like I think that you all need a lot more structure. That way guests don't go without something to drink for 20 “

“The sushi is always good and they always seem to have a game on the tv’s. Everyone is friendly and the service tends to be quick. It’s a great spot to go on a date, as it’s usually not too loud for conversation.Parking: Parking usually isn’t a problem unless it’s busy. When the restaurant starts to get full, you can always park in the plaza parking right next door.“

“The best Japanese restaurant I’ve eaten at. The food was outstanding!! Adam was awesome - he was friendly, attentive, and gave us the best suggestions!! Our favorite of the evening was the xoomer sushi with wagyu beef, crab, shrimp, avocado and cream cheese! I wish this restaurant was near us but unfortunately we live in Raleigh, NC!“

“Zundo is one of the best restaurants in Lexington! We've been to Japan, and this is the most authentic Japanese restaurant in the states we've ever been to. Their Gyoza is divine, their ramen is absolutely delicious, and I love their boba/smoothies! We come here several times a month, and the staff are so sweet and kind. You won't be disappointed!!!“

“I love Osaka! I've been eating here for years, and I've never left disappointed. The food is always tasty, no matter what you get, and the staff is super pleasant. My co-workers and I used to roll in here with a crew of 6-8 people on a regular basis, and the staff always recognized us. Even when placing large orders, our meals would arrive quickly.Parking: Sometimes the parking is not great. The restaurant is located in a little shopping center with some other restaurants and businesses, and the parking lot is often packed as a result.“

“Michikusa Japanese Restaurant. This is my second time having lunch here and I’ve made up my mind: this is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in Lexington, KY.The owner himself Hiroshi Aoyagi, who is also the chef, will fix your sushi and your perspective on sushi in general. I’ve been to Japanese restaurants that, within the first and second visit, the salmon sashimi cut got significantly smaller just like my paycheck after tax.But not Michikusa, no sir. In my second visit, the salmon is just as plump fresh and juicy as the first one. As a Christian, my meal here even made me pray twice: one standard prayer for before meal, and one after meal to thank the Good Lord for salmons. I don’t know about you but I think that salmons are also wonderfully made.I started with Agedashi Tofu and went with one of their lunch special options: Mini Salmon-don with half Udon/Soba. Udon and Soba are both noodles and due to my high blood pressure, I googled real quick which one is healthier then elegantly asked for Soba, please. I looked like I know what I’m doing, I wish my mom were here to see it It’s worth noting that 18% gratuity (tip) is automatically added to your bill so when the bill arrives, what you pay is what you see. I like that. I always have a hard time counting tip and math. They are just not my love language.I know I’ll be back and you should try it out, too! Aoyagi Hiroshi-san, arigatōgozaimashita!“

“Yall! This is the place! Fellow vegetarians/vegans, this is an incredible spot to check out. Blue has an extensive vegan sushi menu & it is DIVINE.I have never had any sushi I’ve enjoyed, so I was uncertain at first. I met my parents here for dinner since they are huge sushi lovers & I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was absolutely some of the best food I’ve had in a minute at a restaurant as a vegetarian. Started off with the charred edamame, bc who doesn’t love a great bowl of edamame before dinner? I use to not love sushi bc of the seaweed wrap, so I was happy to know they had alternatives, soy rice paper & cucumber. I enjoyed their Thai & Crunchy Cabbagge rolls. I was shocked at how much I loved sushi, even went back a day later lol. Everything was super tasty. The flavors & textures were everything!!! Not only was the food great, but I highly recommend sitting at the bar. Our bartender Gabrielle provided excellent service. My family & I appreciated your kindness! Gabrielle was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. My mom is gluten free & we are always grateful when our server is eager to help & knows how to accommodate.Thank you for your service, can’t wait to come back!Vegetarian options: HUGEEEE VEGAN MENU!Dietary restrictions: Easy to eat GF, Vegan, & Vegetarian!Parking: Not bad parking, on busy nights be prepared to maybe have a 5 minute walk to Blue!“

“From the outside, it really doesn't look like much. They have their menu and pictures of their dishes plastered everywhere. Upon walking inside, there's a fish tank with large goldfish and koi fish before you get inside the restaurant. The entranceway is colder than the restaurant and the fish tank looks dirty and cramped, and I am a little concerned about the fish. Given, that's not food related. Going inside, the staff didn't have a host, they just asked you how many was in your party from afar and were pointed towards a table. The wait staff is so sweet and kind. The wait time for food isn't bad. We ordered, and within a couple minutes, our food came out quick. We got our gyoza after we finished our sushi. Food quality - my God. Given the price and the look of the place, I'd be a little worried about the quality. However, the tuna looked and tasted superb. Very fresh. In other places, I've had troubles with ebi looking gray around the edges, but here, not at all. It looked perfect. My only gripe is that it tasted of ginger from the sushi chef accidentally touching the ginger before handling the ebi. Aside from that, the spicy crab roll, while it was imitation crab, it still had this smoky quality to it that other rolls of its kind don't have. Their spicy mayo or sauce was so delectable. When we did get our gyoza, we also got an order of spring rolls on the house. We loved them! We're not into vegetable heavy items, but that was flavorful! The crunchiness of the outside negated the vegetable texture. The gyoza...I love Japanese food. I have been to multiple places and tried multiple dumplings. The general consensus is that a lot of places get store bought dumplings and fry them. The few places that don't don't have nearly as much flavor as Happy Sushi. The gyoza was not overly oily or crunchy. It had a yummy browning and while it did have a light crunch, it wasn't teeth hurtingly crunchy you get at some places. The filling is pork, they do not skimp on the seasoning or flavor. It was amazing. We went yesterday and I swear I saw thise gyoza in my dreams. So good that after being full, we wanted a second order. The ponzu sauce was great. Overall, quality was great. The two brown sugar boba teas are huge for 6 dollars. Usually, anywhere we've went to, it's expensive, but here, it seems that even though it's a similar price point, the quantity is more. Shake your boba when you get it to separate the syrup from the tea! The taste was up to bar. It's even more flavorful than Bumble Bites in Richmond. Staff consistently checked on us.“

“I absolutely love sushi blue! this is probably one of my most favorite restaurants in Lexington! I absolutely love the sushi on fire and the spicy bulgogi ramen! I also love the sake bloody mary! I’ve been coming here for 8+ years and it’s definitely a great place to go for late night food.“

“I loved Drake's! My friend and her husband had us go here for dinner as it's one of her favorites. I understand why! I love a menu that brings in options, from wings, salads, burgers to sushi rolls! Not featured in my photos was my amazing bbq burger. I ate the entire burger and fries. Best to say I was full! To back track: we had the pretzels to start off which were nice and soft. Loved the dipping sauces. I had one of their special salmon rolls and I was very happy with it. They had a lot of good options - it was hard to pick. Honestly so pleased, our server Katelyn was super friendly and prompt. I would recommend for those who like various options of great food!“
