My family and I have been going to Seki for about 3 years now. True reservations are a must (small restaurant with only 6 or so tables and a 4 person bar) but when you call (best time is around 4PM) just keep it short and say "reservations for # at ?? time?". This is short and to the point... more

There are alot of sushi places in Lexington, this is probably the best! Its advertisment is generally limited to word of mouth and it's easy to miss if driving and just looking for any sushi place. Seki is very small and reservations are almost always needed. Seki is a unique Japanese restaurant for Lexington. If your looking for a small,... more

I was in town visiting Lexington just for a couple of nights, and really wanted to try out Seki, having heard it was great for authentic Japanese food. And truly, the food was absolutely delicious. I don't usually even like sashimi, but the yellowtail sashimi I had at Seki was fantastic. The service, however, was not so great. I mistakenly... more

I've lived near Seki for almost a year now and have known about it since I moved to Lexington. By far the best sushi I have ever had! Everything tasted so fresh, and in lexington, that's hard to come by being landlocked and all. It's a small family owned place with only about 5 maybe 6 tables, as well as... more

I've eaten sushi on both coasts and two continents- Seki is not even the best in Lexington. It is about 30 percent cheaper that what you will get elsewhere, and Mr. Seki is a very skilled chef. Don't even waste your time. I can deal with a draconian reservation system, I can abide by aloofness. However, I can't suffer all... more

This is a place that I love to bring people to for the first time. I love seeing reactions to this quaint restaurant with out-of-this-world sushi. I grew up in Lexington and only had the pleasure of finding this place before I moved to New England. I have never found another sushi place quite like it, and it is the... more

I've been here several times. The sushi is consistently the freshest, cheapest, and tastiest I have ever had. Other pricier restaurants in Lexington, Cincinatti, and Louisville simply do not compare to the AMAZING value, freshness, and tastiness of this sushi. Yes, you have to have a reservation, but that's because its a small family run restaurant that buys just enough... more

Like everyone else, I have a lot of great stories about how hard it is to get into the "Sushi Nazi". The fact of the matter is that they have the best sushi in town and maybe the best that I have had anywhere (and I have tried sushi at many top sushi restaurants in NYC, LA, Philly, etc.). They... more

I was told by a friend that if you were a student or if you sounded too young on the phone, you couldn't get into this place, not because it is fancy or expensive, but that it was "selective." I called once and was told there were no reservations available. I tried calling back introducing myself as a doctor, based... more
