I rate Ginger Wasabi Sushi + Grill a 5/5. From the atmosphere to the service, and food, this place never seems to disappoint. My friends and I come here about once a week when we are craving sushi. This homey restaurant, undoubtedly, is better than all the sushi restaurants I’ve been to back in my hometown. For a not-so-flashy place, it certainly has a lot to offer. The restaurant is a bit on the smaller side, but I love how intimate it is. The employees here were very nice and friendly, and checked up on us consistently. This restaurant stays open super late which is SO NICE, especially if you’re hungry late at night and everything else is closed. Their menu is a lot bigger than you would expect, and I absolutely loved everything I have ordered. I’ve tried the UK Roll, Spicy California Roll, and the Valentine Roll, which were all to die for, but my top favorite is the Tiger Roll with a side of fried rice; it has been my new current obsession. But if what I’ve already tried is any indication, then I’d bet that the rest of the menu is worth trying. Also, the plating presentation for all of the rolls always looks absolutely unbelievable. Their portion sizes are just right, and the price of this place is extremely affordable, so you definitely get your money’s worth. Honestly, I only have good things to say about this restaurant. Every experience I’ve had seems to be better than the last. It is such a reliable restaurant that you can never get sick of it.

This sushi restaurant was the perfect place for Japanese on a budget. Their bento box was so filling and tasted wonderful! Will definitely be coming back 🙂

This place deserves to be the busy place in Lexington and it’s never that busy when we come. I honestly have no idea why, the food always tastes fresh, it’s reasonably priced and the service is great.

The exterior is modest and seemed clean. The inside has a cute aesthetic, and I love all the cats in the murals.
The service was good. They didn’t hover, or ignore us, and always had a smile.
They have a full bar which surprised me. The coconut upside-down drink was super tasty. The strawberry mojito had a lot more mint than I’m used to, but was also good.
The sushi fries were good, but too much & rich for one person to finish. I had the wildcat roll and a Philadelphia roll. They tasted fresh. I feel like the portion on the wildcat may be a little small, but it’s a specialty roll so the ingredients probably make it that way. My hubby got a teriyaki bowl and it was too much food.
There is a slight cooking/fryer smell common in smaller restaurants, so you may leave smelling it on your clothes. Not something they can help, but maybe don’t wear something that isn’t easy to wash.

We recently discovered Ginger Wasabi, and we’ve been back multiple times. This place is great for the following things:
1) Open until 1 am most nights. Great for night owls!
2) Great sushi and appetizers! Also love the lo mein which can be bought as a side or a meal.
3) Great staff. Everytime I’m in there, I meet a new server. They have all been unfailingly polite, helpful and fast.
4) Well-lit, music at a good, background level.
5) Very affordable and large rolls.
6) Tempura fried cheesecake. Yuuuum.
I always get a Pink Lady roll, and it’s pretty unique to the restaurant. It is also PINK!
We will be visiting again many, many more times. Check it out!

Really delicious at such an affordable price. The decor was so cute, it really put a smile on our faces. It was very clean and well lit. The hostess along with the staff were nice. I got the strawberry mojito which was sweet and refreshing. We appreciate the simpler menu with all the classic rolls and some fun ones. We also really like the sushi fries. It was a bed of sweet potato fries topped with kani salad; the flavors worked really well. I really liked the salmon poke bowl, it was a good sized portion. The prices really surprised us, it was not as expensive as many other places. We over ordered as per usual but we will definitely be back.

Went with a friend and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. Super cosy and chill, generally laid-back but nice vibes. The staff were incredibly nice and attentive!
I got the valentine roll which had very smooth fresh tuna. Each bite was delicious and the eel sauce went so well with it. We also got the pork dumplings and green tea mochi ice cream – cannot reccomend the mochi enough! The green tea flavor was delicious and refreshing.
Overall a really delightful and affordable place.

Unsure about experience and service as I ordered takeout but I love this place and their Poké bowls! For the price you get so much. Wonderfully fresh with a spectacular crunch.

1/4/25 ordered sesame chicken to go was very affordable and portions were great. But it was pretty underwhelming plain tasting definitely had better, but I will always recommend this place for it hibachi and sushi options.

Really affordable and crave-worthy food located near campus. I respect the fry they get on their tofu; it’s crispy on the outside but airy on the inside. The sauce on their General Tso’s tofu (my go-to) is a little sweet, but that’s a staple of the dish
If you have a MIGHTY craving but don’t want to break the bank, this is a great option.
I’m not sure about their vegan options beyond a highly standard veggie sushi roll.
