We’ve been fishing around and Lexington is swimming in sushi. From trendy menus to laidback atmospheres, we’ve rounded up some top spots to score sushi.
🍣 Date night dining
Blue Sushi Sake Grill , 105 Summit at Fritz Farm
Blue Sushi is a great spot to take your date when you want to make it o-fish-al. Its trendy decor, picture-perfect patio, and extensive happy hour menu (even on the weekend) make for a perfect date night. (Pro tip: Vegan sushi is also available for veggie-lovers.)
🍣 Celebrate with sushi
Osaka
, 3805 Dylan Pl.
Osaka is the perfect place to maki the moment special. Its Custom Boat option is great for big groups. No one will leave hungry.
🍣 Late-night option
Sushi Blue , 185 Pasadena Dr., Ste. 130
We think sushi tastes better late at night. Open until 2 a.m. from Monday through Saturday, Sushi Blue has a great night scene — we recommend the sake cocktails.
🍣 Tako-bout takeout
Sakura 12 , 1015 Winchester Rd.
Go fish. Sakura 12’s drive-thru makes it easy to pick up affordable, tasty sushi on the go.
🍣 Bonus: branch out
School Sushi , 163 W. Short St
Or maybe you’re looking to get out of your sushi-rut and try other kinds of Japanese cuisine. In that case, you must dine at School Sushi. Its ramen is top-notch, and the menu includes street eats like takoyaki (octopus fried in batter), yakitori (skewered chicken), and okonomiyaki (savory pancake sprinkled with squid flakes).
