Daikanyama

Good food. Nice small back room. Pleasant staff. Will go again. Note, a little pricy. But isn't everything these days? I feel the value is there to justify it for a nice lunch.

Great service. Nice vibe - was quiet and serene. Cooked food is ok...not earth shattering. Gyoza were good. Beef kushiyaki was overdone and tough. The miso soup and salad that comes with cooked entree were good. The chicken teri entree came out piping hot and sizzling on the iron platter. The teriyaki sauce is served on the side so it doesnt over-caramelize too quickly. The veggies were broccolini, carrots and onion. Its a basic dish so there isnt much variation from restaurant to restaurant but nothing set this apart. Decision to come here again would depend on geography...if it was the nearest Japanese, I would come here. If another place was closer or more convenient, I would go elsewhere.

Food was very good, but it was too pricey for what we got. Atmosphere was nice, service was fine, and food was very tasty. The menu is good, comprehensive. Best item we got was the blistered edamame. So good we found a recipe so we can make it at home. The other food, the udon soup, the shrimp dish, the sushi, it was all fine. Nothing really wrong with anything but for the prices it should have been fabulous and it just wasn't. The portions were really small. You can see in the pictures.

Five stars because I love that it's very tasty for a local restaurant. We live in town and have dinner here a couple times a month. Everything we've ordered is wonderful.

We came on a Thursday night and made a reservation ahead of time for 8 people and they sat us in a little secluded area which was nice for ambiance and noise level. The lady was super nice and pretty quick with service compared to how busy it was. She gave us plenty of time to order drinks, look at the menu and converse before rushing us to order. Our food came out timely. We ordered a bunch of the specialty rolls and my favorite were the sunset and daikanyama rolls. We stayed till closing and they didn't really rush us out of the restaurant which I thought was pretty nice of them. Overall, a great experience with a great server.

We just made our final order tonight. No more laughing at how small the portions are and how prices have soared. Salmon was terrible, rolls were loose. We're done, too bad.

An elegant sushi restaurant with very interesting choices for maki on the menu, which I appreciate. It's fun to find a place that has some unique options for sushi and not the same stuff I always see. The food tastes high quality, fresh, and authentic. My favorite is probably Autumn maki. The atmosphere is calming and very nice, with these sleek, thin fountains around. Not sure how else to describe them, but they're almost futuristic looking. The service is also very good. Highly recommended for sushi lovers in the area!

Out standing service and food. Nice atmosphere. We love dining here. The sushi is delicious and the noodles are memorable.

Highly variable -- a good meal one day, a bad one another day. We have eaten there perhaps five times over the past year, because it is convenient. On some previous occasions, we have had good sushi and so-so sushi, and some cooked appetizers that were fine. A respectable suburban approximation of Japanese food. But my most recent meal was close to terrible: nigiri with ok though not outstanding tasty fish on top of the driest rice imaginable, including a disgraceful piece of cold, dry and tasteless eel nigiri. All this at prices that are far from cheap. If the food were more reliable, this could be a nice local restaurant, but it is so inconsistent.The decor is very pleasant and the service has always been friendly and efficient, no complaints there. But there is a very weird menu structure: a regular printed menu supplemented by a small ipad-like tablet that shows more than 50 "specials" with photos (some in portrait mode, some in landscape), with no prices listed for any of them. No idea why they do that, very odd.

The food is overpriced for what it is, but options are limited in Lexington. However we went today because it was a hot day and the menu had cold noodles which sounded good for our kids, including a 1.5 yo who loves noodles. At first bite he spit it out, started screaming and asking for water. When we tasted it we were surprised that it was spicy - like they mixed chili oil or wasabi in the sauce. The menu did not say the noodles were spicy or had any spicy ingredients. When we flagged the waitress she looked at us like we were crazy when we told her the noodles were spicy, she said no the noodles are not spicy but would check. she came back from the kitchen apologetic and said yes the noodles are spicy, they were sorry and could they do anything? I said just bring some plain noodles so the baby could at least get some food, the damage was already done. It would have been fine. But then they actually charged me $11 for a tiny dish of plain instant ramen noodles!!!! WTF?? What decent restaurant does that to a baby? By the way, they all speak Chinese, not Japanese.
