If you’re looking for a spot in Lexington that pairs fresh sushi with creative flair and a side of casual fun, TakoSushi hits the mark—and then some. Walking into TakoSushi feels like stepping into a neighborhood gem with just the right blend of laid-back and upscale. The bar area glows with warm light, the décor has subtle Asian & Southwestern influences, and there’s enough buzz to make you feel like something good is about to happen. The buzz was real: I overheard folks saying “the fish was incredibly fresh” and “we’ll definitely come back.” Here’s where TakoSushi really shines. I started with the tempura asparagus—crisp golden exterior, tender inside—and it set the tone. Then came the rolls: vibrant, perfectly assembled, and bursting with flavor. According to multiple diners, “sushi rolls … were very much fresh and on point.” One standout: the “Crazy Roll” (yes, I ordered it). It combined spicy tuna, avocado, a touch of mango, and a drizzle of something sweet-savory that made me grin. If sushi was a touchdown, this roll was a Hail Mary caught in the end zone. And yes, the place accommodates a variety of tastes: even a local reviewer said, “Kids enjoyed their chicken and fries,” so you’re covered whether you’re going full sushi mode or just grabbing something simple. The service here deserves a high-five (and maybe a sash for “Most Welcoming Team”). Our server knew the menu, checked in just enough to make us feel taken care of—but not like we were under the glare of a food critic. One Yelp reviewer said: “The staff is always friendly, service is fast, food always tastes good and fresh.” With that kind of service, even the most ambitious roll becomes more enjoyable. If I were to sum up TakoSushi in one sentence: it’s sushi with swagger, served with a smile. Whether you’re out for a casual dinner, date night, or just want something different, this spot delivers. I’ll definitely be heading back—and grabbing that tempura asparagus again too. Go ahead and reserve a table (or arrive early) to snag a good seat. Order something adventurous and something familiar. And don’t forget to tip the staff—they’ll genuinely make you feel like you belong. TakoSushi isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to enjoy. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my visit to Takosushi! My girlfriends ordered sushi & I was able to order some tacos & they were excellent. I got the grilled steak taco & the firecracker shrimp taco. Both were so fresh! We also had the tempura asparagus & it was delicious! The outdoor atmosphere is beautiful and I cant wait to visit when Fall is happening.

I’ll keep this short and sweet. Been here a couple times and haven’t had a bad experience. Staff is always friendly, service is fast, food always tastes good and fresh and the atmosphere is perfect. Seating inside and outside with plenty of room for groups! I want to give a shout out to my recent server Praewa! She was amazing on my last visit. Also the bartender was a good dude. Can’t remember his name though!
