I am a traditional diner and did no like this restauurant. The cut of meat was overrated an extreemly expensive. The menues are lacking infomation and are hard to understand. I had 6 on my tab with an avg of 25.00 a plate. resturant charges seperatly for rice and placed a 18% tip on my bill.. Will never return. would much rather have spent 190.00 at malones or 50.00 at wok and go.. dont waste time or money...

I travel for a living, and Japanese cuisine, GOOD Japanese is not available in my hometown so I try to frequent Jpanese restaurants when on the road. I went here with the intent of ordering sushi, but after looking at the quality of the fish I decided on tempura. The fish was stale, lacked proper color and clearly not fresh. The interior is dimly lit (I wonder why?) and smells of deep-fried grease. Even my tempura was off; it was more of deep-fried shrimp than tempura which should be delicate, light and non-greasy. If you have had susho here, you have not had sushi. Go to a place where your sushi meal will coast $50 to $100 cause the chef shops every day for only the freshest fish and you will have had sushi!

The sushi here is great. And the sushi chefs are a lot of fun to talk to. I go here a lot!

Yamamoto is the best Japanese restaraunt. I have dined at every Japanese restaraunt in Lexington and Yamamoto is the best by far. I have also eaten Japanese at a very authentic restaraunt in Hawaii and Yamamoto was still the best hands down.

This is the most entertaining restaurant in Lexington! The chef's are more experienced than the other two Japanese restaurants! This is the only place I will order the steak! It is excellent! The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is delicious! Fantastic!
