Ginger Wasabi Sushi + Grill — Restaurant in Lexington

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...

It’s not decorated in the most authentic way but that doesn’t matter much when the food is this good. I absolutely LOVE sushi and I’ve tried multiple of the sushi places in town since moving here. I haven’t found anywhere that I particularly dislike but this is definitely my FAVORITE place to get sushi. After I moved downtown, this is now on my block and I’ve become a fairly consistent regular for the wildcat roll. The rolls are also a great size and a fair price and the employees are SOOOO nice! Definitely recommend 10/10. They also have teriyaki dishes and a few other things if you don’t care for sushi so still would recommend everybody come check this place out! Edit: 2 years later and my rating remains the same. In fact I would recommend them MORE now! I’ve remained a regular for the wildcat roll this whole time and they’ve noticed. Half the time they know what I want and start preparing it as soon as I walk in the door. Only thing they’re never sure of is if I want 1 or 2 rolls. Amazing people and amazing food for a good price and I will continue to recommend them until the day I...

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...
