Wow, what a great dining experience. I had miso soup, ginger salad, and hamachi kama (grilled collarbone of yellowtail) along with white crane sake (a symbol of friendship and generosity). I concluded the meal with a delicious version of japanese cheesecake. Everything was absolutely delicious and reminds me of my travels in Japan. My server, Adam, was very friendly and patient with my questions about the menu. I will definitely be back. For a delicious and authentic Japanese dining experience, you must go to Zen Sushi & Sake.

Went on a Tuesday and as always: 5 stars across the board, top tier service (Brooke was a gem of a server), 10/10 would recommend. The sashimi barracuda and petite crab I got to try for the first time (from the specials menu), both delicious and unique. The only negative was my date was not a fan of Tempura cheesecake, so I was forced to eat it all myself…I was not mad about it! 😉

Weekend in Lexington and found this place on Trip Advisor.
Food was delicious and fresh, our server Kayla was great.
I liked that they had a separate Japanese fish menu. I tried all 3 of the Fatty Tuna sashimi choices and I’m not embarrassed to say that I couldn’t tell the difference. The fatty tune (high quality) was buttery…but…my palate is not experienced enough to have known which piece I was eating if I wasn’t looking at the fat streaking through it.
But, all the rolls we tried were distinctive and tasted fresh.
Place is not over crowded or noisy for a Friday.

The absolute best sushi restaurant in Lexington. Everytime we come here we know it’s going to be delicious and a gorgeous presentation. Worth every single penny!

Today was our first time dining at Zen Sushi & Sake, and my family and I absolutely loved it. We ordered the Nigiri & Sashimi Teishoku, which included a 5-piece seasonal nigiri special and 12 pieces of seasonal sashimi—and every bite was exceptional. The fish was incredibly fresh, each piece carrying its own distinctive aroma while sharing a deep, satisfying umami profile.
Beyond the outstanding quality of the food, the experience itself truly stood out. Our server, Adam, elevated the evening with his knowledge, professionalism, and natural charisma. His guidance and attentiveness made the meal even more memorable.
We will definitely be returning—for both the remarkable quality of the food and the exceptional dining experience. Thank you, Zen Sushi & Sake, for such an amazing first visit!

We were on a road trip looking for a nicer dinner, but with 4 kids (2-8 years old) we always hesitate to go for sushi spots. I can say definitively this was one of our best dining out experiences with our family ever. Our waiter was attentive to the needs of our kids, they split the entrees up for the kids to help us out, and the sushi was phenomenal for my wife and I. Bummed we aren’t local because we would be regulars. Go here now

Really good sushi. Our service was great. We picked this restaurant because it was close to our hotel and my partner has celiac – we had a great experience. Lots of options and our server was very knowledgeable. Comfortable dining experience especially for a shopping center style location, clean and bright decor. Would definitely come again next time we visit

We sat at the sushi bar and it was such a fun experience! They made the most beautiful displays out of our sushi. It was fresh and bursting with flavor! It was so good we came back the next day. We were visiting from Texas and wish we had this place near us! So so good. Just go!

We visited this restaurant for the first time on Valentine’s Day yesterday, and I think it’s a great option if you’re looking for something affordable and delicious! I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and dim lighting, and they had everything set up very nicely.
The only thing that could have been better was maybe our server’s attitude. He was sarcastic and a little condescending. I asked a lot of questions about the drink menu because I haven’t had sake nor plum wine before, and he made a comment every time I asked a question as if I should know what I’m talking about? I even mentioned I had never had sake and was curious, and his jokes (if that’s what they were) were not appreciated. Truthfully, we tipped him anyway for general service and he was fast and attentive to detail, but it would have made a world of difference to have someone a bit nicer.
