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.

Seki is a great little sushi dive, very affordable for sushi, family-run, with lots of interesting and very fresh sushi options.

Hard to get into, wonderful food, good prices more
