ZEN SUSHI & SAKE REVIEWS

We were on a road trip looking for a nicer dinner, but with 4 kids (2-8 years old) we always hesitate to go for sushi spots. I can say definitively this was one of our best dining out experiences with our family ever. Our waiter was attentive to the needs of our kids, they split the entrees up for the kids to help us out, and the sushi was phenomenal for my wife and I. Bummed we aren’t local because we would be regulars. Go here now.

We sat at the sushi bar and it was such a fun experience! They made the most beautiful displays out of our sushi. It was fresh and bursting with flavor! It was so good we came back the next day. We were visiting from Texas and wish we had this place near us! So so good. Just go.

Food was fantastic! I could tell the chef really cared about carefully and lovingly crafting the food. The servers were pleasant and attentive. Would definitely come back when I'm staying at a hotel near the airport. I LOVED the fried cheesecake.

BLUE SUSHI SAKE GRILL REVIEWS

The Lion King (in back on the photo) and the Tataki Maki were the best rolls I’ve ever had in my life! The King had an eel sauce with chili that paired perfectly with the Japanese booze drink I ordered. I also ordered the Tataki roll as a variant that included an eel sauce, a different seafood and the perfect amount of panko crunch. The service was phenomenal and the ambiance was perfect for a busy place. Love the comical Japanese effigies in the back dining room. Baby’s got Feng shui up in Lexington. MOST IMPORTANTLY….I enjoyed myself here.

Stopped for dinner passing through town. This was my first experience with vegan options at a sushi restaurant. Vegan cream cheese on sushi was wonderful. We had the South Pacific vegan roll, Snow White and Vegan hot popper. They were all wonderful.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and the food is delicious. For guests who prefer not to eat raw ingredients, there are thoughtfully prepared fully-cooked sushi roll options, which are not only considerate but also very tasty.

SAKURA 12 REVIEWS

Staff are incredible. The lady cashier is incredibly sweet and the chefs are also always so nice when we come in— the food is always delicious and reasonably priced. We don’t really dine in, but the last time I did they were playing bangers on the speaker, and it’s very clean. This is by far my favorite sushi spot and has been for about 4 years now. Love u guys <3

Sakura 12 has been my goto take out place for the past couple years. Fresh, hot and tasty food, requests always followed and service is above and beyond. Whether i get my take out myself or i door dash from them they always give generous portions and have the food out asap. I cant think of a time i havent been satisfied getting my food from here.

I order online often and the food is super quick and always very tasty. I love the sesame chicken and the bagel roll. Super nice staff. Honestly a treat and I'm very happy they're open here. The chicken is always good too. Never stringy or tough.
