This place is the best!!!!! Not just w sushi but the staff and everything about Buddha. The Karage chicken yum!!! I mean I don't think there is anything you cannot love to eat here. I am a sushi lover but bring friends all the time that are just into other things and they love it to. If you are in Lexington, highly recommend!!!! Great walkable location and Nick , Aisling and his sister Gade are just a super team

Disappointing experience, ordered several different items, it was all bland and greasy. Not worth it by any means. Called the restaurant after receiving our food to express our concerns and they hung up before we could even speak.

Love this place and have been coming here for many years now. Food has never disappointed, whether it's been dine-in or a DoorDash delivery. Everything is always fresh, high-quality, and well packaged. Sushi is some of the best in town and their tapas dishes are great too. For being such a basic order, their spicy tuna roll is fantastic! I Recently visited for lunch for the first time in a while, service was friendly, attentive, and fast, even though they were quite busy. Prices even better, the lunch special bento is $10! Really recommend Buddha Lounge whether it's for a casual lunch or a special occasion.

If it's your birthday, Buddha lounge will give you sake shots instead of cake. Such a novelty thing. The nigiri was good, the spicy items on their menu such as spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail isn't spicy at all so I wouldn't worry about ordering them if you can't eat spicy. Favorite sushi roll is the volcano roll, topped with scallops. Can't go wrong

Food was delicious, service was okay, ambiance was good. It was in walking distance of my hotel and it was worth the walk. Hell of a Bourbon selection and the food was great. Service could have been a bit better but I was the only one at the bar.

We were there for an early dinner so it was not busy at all. The gyoza was delicious but the cucumber salad was a little plain. The sushi was great. Service was excellent and the food was fresh and served quickly. Recommend for sure.
