Reviews
The food hall is very non-traditional, so bear that in mind before deciding to leave a negative review!
Did it take a while to receive my food? Yes. But that is to be expected when you are getting a beautifully handcrafted meal.
The presentation was beautiful and each piece has individual and unique flavor. This was my first time visiting, and as a lover of fresh fish- Anko Sushi takes the lead when it comes to sushi in Louisville.
If you’re looking for the best sushi in Kentucky, Anko Sushi is an absolute standout. It delivers a level of quality, precision, and creativity you would expect from elite omakase restaurants in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles.
The fresh fish flown in from Tokyo is expertly cut, and paired with perfectly seasoned rice that holds just the right texture. Every piece reflects true Japanese craftsmanship and attention to detail.
What truly sets Anko apart is the customized omakase experience. Rather than the traditional one-piece-at-a-time format, the chef presents thoughtfully composed boards featuring multiple pieces, arranged to tell a flavorful and visual story. I asked for a full bluefin tuna experience, and it was unlike anything I’ve had in Kentucky or the Midwest. From O-Toro and Chu-Toro to rare and exquisite cuts like Toro Cheek, Toro Collar, and Spinal Jelly, I was guided through the entire fish in a way that showcased both the versatility of the tuna and the chef’s mastery.
The offerings don’t stop at tuna. Premium ingredients like buttery A5 Wagyu, creamy uni, and fresh grated wasabi elevate the experience even further, each presented with subtlety and restraint that lets the ingredients speak for themselves.
Beyond the sushi, the izakaya-style small plates are just as impressive. The hand rolls (temaki) delivered bold umami flavors with balance and refinement, the scallion pancake was crispy yet tender, the onigiri was simple and comforting, and the miso-marinated hamachi collar was rich and silky, packed with flavor that lingered without overpowering. Even house-made tamagoyaki was handled with precision and purpose, a true mark of craftsmanship.
Anko Sushi isn’t just the best sushi in Kentucky, it’s one of the top omakase experiences in the entire Midwest. If this restaurant were in Manhattan or Los Angeles, it would stand proudly alongside the city’s best. Whether you’re local to Louisville or Lexington, or traveling from Nashville, Cincinnati, or Indianapolis, this is a destination-worthy experience for anyone who respects fine Japanese cuisine.
I went there with my sushi snob Japanese friends(including me), and wow! We felt like we are in Japan! Yes, that much good quality, fresh, and the Omakase was wow! every single piece of sushi was state of the art. Highly recommend.
That said, prices are on the higher side, so it’s more of a splurge than a regular stop. Also tried the salmon poke bowl, which was underwhelming compared to the sushi—flavors were muted and not as memorable.
Great spot for special occasions or when you’re in the mood to indulge in high-quality sushi.
