Amazing food, amazing chef, and excellent service! I’ve been to a lot of Japanese restaurants all over, this is the best one by far.
I always try something new when I visit along with my standard sashimi order and it is always superb! Already looking forward to my next visit!

Owner response

Thank you so much please come back again,,!!!

Michikusa Japanese Restaurant.
This is my second time having lunch here and I’ve made up my mind: this is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in Lexington, KY. The owner himself Hiroshi Aoyagi, who is also the chef, will fix your sushi and your perspective on sushi in general.
I’ve been to Japanese restaurants that, within the first and second visit, the salmon sashimi cut got significantly smaller just like my paycheck after tax. But not Michikusa, no sir.
In my second visit, the salmon is just as plump fresh and juicy as the first one.
As a Christian, my meal here even made me pray twice: one standard prayer for before meal, and one after meal to thank the Good Lord for salmons.
I don’t know about you but I think that salmons are also wonderfully made. I started with Agedashi Tofu and went with one of their lunch special options: Mini Salmon-don with half Udon/Soba.
Udon and Soba are both noodles and due to my high blood pressure, I googled real quick which one is healthier then elegantly asked for Soba, please.
I looked like I know what I’m doing, I wish my mom were here to see it 🥲 It’s worth noting that 18% gratuity (tip) is automatically added to your bill so when the bill arrives, what you pay is what you see.
I like that.
I always have a hard time counting tip and math.
They are just not my love language. I know I’ll be back and you should try it out, too! Aoyagi Hiroshi-san, arigatōgozaimashita!

We love Michikusa! My favorite dish is the Spicy Miso Ramen.
It's pictured here with pork but I usually sub tofu.
We also love the edamame, gyoza, and sushi rolls.
