“I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! GREAT food. GREAT service. Owner is super friendly and such a great environment. Best sushi in Lex!“

“Great experience!! Food was exceptional and environment was enjoyable!“

“Our waiter John and his colleague Don were great. The food and atmosphere was perfect in every way. Will definitely be back“

“Delicious food friendly employees good service. We go there about twice a month so that can explain how good their food is.“

“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.“

“Food always fresh and taste great“

“Once again I write about the best sushi restaurant in Lexington & from my long experience with fish, one of the best in the country. Their rolls are tasty & presented well. The best thing is the awesome selection of fish that is available. Fresh fish selected by June, the head chef, comes in Monday & Thursday. Last night the paper list of fresh fish was 16 varieties long. What to choose?? Ask June. good sake selections are also present. Well worth a try.“

“Blue is always solid. It took quite some time for out waitress to come to the table. She did have a party so I understand a little but she didn't even tell us or get drinks. I had to ask another waitress where our waitress was at. Food came quick though and it was well made.“

“It was an outstanding experience with a very good friend! The food was perfect and the atmosphere chill. I look forward to another visit.“

“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.“

“Great fresh food, I am a repeat customer! The bento boxes are my favorite. I’m obsessed!!“

“Delicious affordable sushi, definitely recommend getting take-out or delivery from here. Always fresh and well packaged. Dine-in service is lacking, which is understandable because I don't think they do much of their business that way. There isn't much seating, limited drink options, and the restaurant is set up to package people's orders. Don't let this deter you from trying the food though, it is by far the best sushi you can get for the price and the appetizers are also great, but I recommend eating it elsewhere.“

“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.“

“A hidden gem in plain sight. Great food, service and a tremendous Bourbon, etc selection. Prices are also easy on the wallet.“

“Such a an abundance of culinary offerings. all beautifully and masterfully prepared. Always an meal adventure. (Unfortunately, the owner has never addresses the fact that the 2016 bottles of Beuhler Chardonnay have started to turn. My friend and I each had a glass and I purchased the rest to take home. The glass at home confirmed the change in the wine which has been an all time favorite for years. Several month ago, I took the time and wrote to mention this fact. Even a 5 year old Chardonnay is pushing the limit. Sadly, I did not receive the respect of a response not to mention removing the stock that remained.“

“listen the whole menu is all you can eat! it was delicious and I'm definitely coming back. it tasted fresh and the people are really nice and quick to get the food out to the tables“

“Great food. Sushi and burgers are all great can't go wrong. Only thing to keep in mind is the kitchen hours listed aren't correct. the kitchen closes at 10pm. I feel bad because we got there at 945 and I didn't want to overwork the kitchen near end of shift but they were really nice and still did it. Great place. great music. Cocktails are alright, but not out of this world or anything.“

“Food was good but because they were so crowded the service was not up to their normal standards. For example, they were out of the wine we ordered but didn't come back to see what other wine we wanted. We had to flag down the wine steward“
