    Tachibana is worth the drive. I'm with one of the earlier reviews - stating the sushi is inconsistent - so what you really want to go there for is the UDON and SOBA!!! They are outstanding! Comfort food at its best - filling - flavorful, and you just fill good all over when you (try to) finish it all. My husband always orders the Seafood combination Yakasoba (it's not on the menu, so you have to ask for it). We lived in Japan for a couple of years, and this is the ONLY Yakasoba we've had stateside, containing the same flavor combination, fresh seafood and veggies, as we had in Japan. That being said - We've lived in multiple places throughout the US, and this is the only "authentic" Japanese restaurant we've found in the States.

    I've only been here a couple of times now - and I'm always kicking myself for that! But I do want to write a review - I think that might inspire me to get over to Tachibana more - because I've really enjoyed it every time I've been! Here's what I know (might be myth!) - Tachibana the Building was designed by Taliesin - of Frank Lloyd Wright fame. Tachibana the concept seems like traditional Japanese fare. It is definitely more old school than some of the other places you can find good sushi in Lexington...but I find that to be a huge part of the appeal. As for the food, apparently a great sushi chef was flown in for this restaurant when the Toyota plant opened in Georgetown, KY - just down the road. I've tried quite a wide variety (for two visits!) of sushi here, and really enjoyed everything - it was all fresh tasting and delicious - great flavor. Extra points for authenticity in design and decor - the service was friendly and extra polite - and both times I've been in and out quickly with no wait for a table. There seems to be an endless debate about which sushi place is best in Lexington - I'm not sure that I would say that this is definatively the best...but I really enjoy Tachibana.

    I don't know a whole lot about Japanese food, but I feel like Tachibana is one of the few unique Japanese restaurants around here that feel authentic. The menu has a lot of interesting food to try, and the lunch specials are pretty delicious for a fair price. The beef curry is probably my favorite out of the specials, but they're all worth a try. It's usually pretty crowded around lunch time, but if you order a special, the food comes out super quickly. My only complaint is that the waiters don't really serve much once you've gotten your meal. You could wait 15-20 minutes for your check. Often times I end up just walking up to the register for my check. Otherwise, the food is good and the staff is free sky. Overall great!

    Food wasn't bad but nothing special either. What I'm griping over is the service! I'm sitting in reviewing this place because I've been sitting here for 15 minutes after the waiter took all my plates away so I'm having all this available time to yelp. The waiter poked his head around the corner, looked at me and went back behind as if, "ok sir, I'll go get your check". NOPE! No one stopped by! Wtf? I woulda given a 2 but i don't like judging a restuarant by the service of its staff. Good thing this meal is on the company's tab so i won't gripe too much on a free meal. :)

    I don't know Japanese food very well. The two Japanese restaurants in the town where I live are very expensive which means we aren't there unless it's a special occasion and then I'm ordering a bit safe so that I know I'll enjoy the meal. The few times I've tried a Japanese restaurant when traveling, they've been similarly expensive so I associate the genera with expensive food, rightly or wrongly. Not this place though! So yeah, I sat down and had to try and figure out what to order even though I didn't know what almost all the named items were. So I'm reading the descriptions and thank god they have pictures of every item. I'm finally ready to order and I'm starting to point to the item on the menu to my waitress when I realized that the item was $8.50! Dang, that can't be right! So I told the waitress to hold off, I need to rethink what I'm ordering. I looked over the menu and most items were around $10 +/- $4. OK, now I felt comfortable ordering a bit more food than I thought I could eat which meant I could explore a bit. I love places like this. I ended up ordering one of their combination dinners that came in at $23 and it had a little bit of several items. Ended up liking all of it. Staff were friendly all around too. If I'm ever back in Lexington, I'll be looking for this place.

    Post Rolex stop with search from yelp. Places was pretty full. Servers we're very busy. She even forgot to give us menus :) But the taste was excellent. Miso soup was top notch. Some of the rolls we ordered were a tad salty? Otherwise it was a great experience.

    Amazing authentic Japanese cuisine ! I live in Louisville and will make the trip to Lexington for the Beef Sukiyaki. 2. Vegetables, noodles, and beef are served in a steaming, flavorful broth made with dashi, mirin, and soy sauce in this Japanese dish, sukiyaki. Keep up the good work!!!

  • Cory D.

    A good meal without high prices & quick service. I truly have enjoyed every meal I have had here. I've been here 6 or 8 times & the food has been great every time. The service, well it's rushed. They seem understaffed even when it's not that busy & they are very direct and to the point, but still pleasant. Try the meso ramen its so much better than the .10¢ pack you get at the grocery.

    After 13 hours of flying from the west coast, I was hungry!! I went to yelp to assist me in my culinary quest. I was excited to see a Japanese Restaurant so highly rated. I called ahead for a reservation and was told they were very busy, but to my delight , accepted walk-ins. My son and I, a Japanese language student at Marshall, were pleasantly surprised to be immediately seated at a near empty sushi bar , first thought SCORE. Our excitement waned as it took along time to even place a drink order. Then our sushi order took over 45 minutes to prepare, all 5 ordered items came at once Next, seconds later, our combination dinner arrived. Hungry and hopeful we dove into the Ahi Roll, Magri, Ono & Hamachi Nigri. The servings were adequate but not generous, the sushi was good, but the Ahi Roll was topped with fish eggs that were slightly fishy, I know, it's fish, but it didn't taste right. The combo dinner was great ! All said, we ate everything, one other thing that kinda bothered me was, the server brought 2 other rounds of Kirin during our meal and always placed the new bottle to my left on the table and walked away....I'm not picky, but I didn't feel served . Then the $120 bill for 2 seemed high. I guess I have been spoiled by my favorite Sushi Restuarants in Cali & Hawaii.

    Its pouring cold rain outside but the Sake is nice and warm here at Tachibana. The fish is very fresh each time I have dined here, the chefs preparation of the food is atrful and visually pleasing. This is an all time favorite Japanese restaurant for me, with a nice array of great noodle dishes too! So not everyone in your party has to eat sushi or hibachi grill. Great place to go if you are visiting Lexington

    This place was a legend when I was a kid 20 yrs ago and it's still incredible. You feel like you are somewhere other than Kentucky and that's a certain pleasure in itself. We had soba, shrimp and wasabi dumplings and a couple rolls. Our favorites were the shrimp dumplings and the plum paste and mint roll. We were gaga over the plum paste roll. You have never tasted anything like it. I guarantee it. It's floral, herbaceous and subtle. We saved most of it for dessert because we wanted it to be the last taste in our mouths. This place is a forgotten gem still rockin it on the north side. Go there and love it!

  • Heather P.

    What is the favorite spot of most of the local Japanese? This is apparently it, I sat at the hibachi and was told that by a nice Japanese local. Me, I wasn't that impressed. The amount of vegetables do not compare to the amount that the other local Japanese places give. I had the scallops and they were a bit tough. My white rice arrived a long time before my meal was ready so it was cold by the time that I ate it with my meal. The dinner prices are about the same as the other local Japanese restaurants, expensive.

  • Chris W.

    Sat at the hibachi area and promptly had a cockroach scurry across the table. Ordered the tenderloin (medium well) and chicken combination, it was $33. The portions were small 6-10 pieces of each, and the tenderloin was raw, literally purple and cold middle. Won't be returning.

  • Chad C.

    This place is kind of off the beaten path. My friends and I stumbled upon it by accident, but glad we did. It is a beautiful building tucked away on a side street off Newtown Pike. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was calming and pleasant. They offer daily specials at reasonable price with a full bar to take the edge off. You can choose from fresh sushi, hibachi, or anything else off their elaborate menu. I liked the fact that most of their menu items had pictures to accompany them. I am truly glad I was talked into eating here. Thanks Heathers.

    Delicious sashimi and hand rolls. Picture perfect cuts, very nice staff and friendly Japanese greeting you would receive if you were in Japan. I return because it's delicious and consistent.

  • Robert Z.

    Tachibana is in my opinion the best place in Kentucky to get sushi. They may well be the best int he Midwest. The Fish is always as fresh as can be, and expertly prepared consistently EVERY visit. No only is their sushi out of this world but every other dish I have ever had here was stellar. Do yourself a favor and try the tako karaage.

  • chris m.

    Very pleasantly surprised by Japanese Restaurant. I've tried a few already in Lexington, and this is (thus far) my favorite. It has a very humble, traditional, old school kinda feel which I look for in Japanese restaurants- none of this rock n roll, grunge tip, Asian fusion nonsense that a lot of newer places are trying to do. Meal highlights: fatty tuna was very good, as was the rest of the sashimi. Tempura was light and crispy and the miso soup was on point.

    (4)
  • W L.

    Service:4 stars. Wait staff works hard and is helpful, but clearly needs training to better explain the special menu written in Japanese. Ambience: 3-4 stars Food: 1-2 stars. We ordered sushi rolls based on recommendation and Yelp reviews. Sushi rolls are generous in portion and the ingredients are pretty good, but they are doused in mayo sauce. We do not want to visit here for sushi only. Conventional fish sashimi are fine, but the octopus and clam are chewy (beyond the usual textures), watery and bland. One of the worst I have tried. Fried bone-in chicken is pretty good. Overall: OK if you want conventional sushi and sashimi.

  • Erin K.

    When I was in Lexington for a conference last week I tried Asuka for some sushi and I was fairly impressed. Since my love for sushi knows no bounds and Tachibana had such great reviews, I decided to try it on my last night in town. Needless to say, I am very surprised at the amount of 4 and 5 star reviews this place has! I got a couple of rolls (I wish I remembered the names! I'm sorry Yelpers!) and the hotate (scallop) sushi. The hotate tasted seriously off and looked as if half of it had been seared. It was slimy and fishy - not at all the way hotate is supposed to taste. The rice in the rolls was very sticky and the rolls fell apart immediately. It should be noted that I had takeout from here so perhaps dine-in is better. Since I am not in Lexington often, I definitely won't be returning.

  • Peter K.

    Great ambiance, great sushi. I didn't order anything unconventional (slice the fish, maybe put it on a ball of rice, call it day), but the fish was very tasty, had wonderful texture and was well-cut.

    I must say I'm a little shocked. I just called and tried to put a Togo order and was told they were to busy to do a takeout order. Sushi is good but i will start going somewhere else now since they don't want my money.

  • Cherrie X.

    Definitely awesome Japanese food, probably the best you can find in KY. We all loved this place. One reason I'm not giving five stars is that one of their waitresses had really bad attitude and was talking rudely to us, just because we responded three seconds late (she talked really fast in Japanese) when she handed us our food.

    (4)
  • Swatee G.

    I am truly a fan! Nice place, clean ambiance, god food and good service! Love the bluegrass roll (Super BIG), the spider is pretty decent too - a little different in texture form the usual, the crunchy roll is yum yum too! Also, their sashimi is great.. I love the yellow tail. always SUPER fresh My friend had the salmon rice bowl with the pickled salmon, and it was great too.. They also have this himachi dish - grilled, wit the bone.. OMG.. buttery goodness! The miso soup is excellent, as is the side salad..! super surprised about that- I mean most places tend to ignore their meager soup and salad as sides! Their quality is really good! Love coming here for a quick peaceful dinner, pretty quick too!

    Who knew that finding sushi in Lexington, KY would be so easy? I was more than pleasantly surprised with our visit to Tachibana. They are located very close to where we were staying and our hostess has frequented them many times. Based on other reviewers recommendations I suggested we try the Tachibana roll and the Bluegrass roll. I also added some of my favorite nigiris to the mix (salmon, tuna and red snapper). Our hostess wanted a shrimp appetizer and my other friend went the hibachi chicken route. Two of us added house salads as well. We were seated at the hibachi bar which proved to be quite beneficial as any extra rice, shrimp and veggie frys were quickly served up and offered to our hostess (let's face it, she was the only one who looked like a local) and she shared with us too. Props to the hibachi chef for his deft cooking skills and quiet demeanor which allowed us to chat with one another and enjoy the show and our meal at the same time. So, how was the sushi you ask? Fresh and delicious! The platter was presented with all of our choices on it and it was colorful and inviting. They also did not skimp on ginger or wasabi. I see a lot of that going on lately. Having been raised on California cuisine I am always somewhat skeptical of sushi in other places; like Kentucky for instance. No disappointment here! We left full and satisfied and used a 15% off coupon as well. The meal for all three of us with tax and tip came out to around $15 each. Too bad it was our last evening there as I would surely go back to this place for my craving. Written in my travelogue: Small restaurant but high on service and freshness. A definite go back to!

    A pretty decent Japanese restaurant and this is coming from someone who lived in Tokyo for years. I usually order the Tonkatsu, which is pretty good and comparable to what you get in Japan, right down to the "Bulldog sauce" served with it and the haystack of cabbage on the side. Overall good food and service.

  • Stella J.

    This is going to be kind of a long review. I've been here 3 times very recently, so I have a lot fresh in my mind and also I have an overabundance of free time today... But, I think in Tachibana's case, a long review is necessary. They serve sushi, traditional Japanese foods, and also have hibachi tables, so there are really three distinct areas of review.... Tachibana is eight minutes from where I live, and five from where my husband works. I say this because I am aware this clouds my judgment. It's convenient enough that I can forgive things that would cause me to scratch a more remote place off my list. Also, I used to live in Japan, so sometimes my desire for a nostalgic meal can unfairly damn a dish that's not living up to a memory, or can unfairly elevate one that gets close enough. So, take my review in this case with a grain of salt (or dash of shoyu as it were). So exhibit A: sushi. The fish is great, in terms of freshness and temperature. Nothing ruins my sushi date faster than an icy slab of fish... Some people lament Kentucky's landlocked status as reason to avoid sushi here, and I would like to point out that most of the tuna consumed in Japan comes from our own shores and is frozen at purchase. Kentucky sushi chefs can buy a block of frozen Cape Cod tuna just as well as those in Tokyo. And most sushi joints (in the US) aren't dishing up locally harvested fish, it's all being flown in from somewhere. Lexington has an airport and gets fish flown in daily, so really, this whole landlocked thing is a straw man. Ok, rant over. Tachibana's sushi can be inconsistent. The last time I went, the rice in my nigiri was very very loose, to the point of collapse and drier than it should have been. The other hiccup was the haphazard application of wasabi inside my kappamaki. It could have been lazyness from the Itamae san, or it could have been a complete accident, I'm withholding judgment for now. (Full story: Tachibana serves sushi as they do in Japan, with the wasabi already tucked into the maki, or under the fish in the nigiri. I had some kappamaki in my order. Halfway through my roll, one bite evidently encapsulated a hidden wasabi bomb that literally brought me to tears. I shudder to think of my mom or some wasabi-fearing sushi eater discovering that little surprise. My remaining pieces had just the perfect smear of wasabi inside to really highlight the cucumber, it was just the one bite, but wow. My sinuses are still ringing, and I am no wasabi featherweight.) So, another informative note on the sushi: there is (according to my maki-loving friends) quite the scarcity of wacky rolls, though they have the usual suspects like the California, Philly, Spicy Tuna, etc. I mostly order nigiri or sashimi, so the lack of maki hasn't ever caused any disappointment at my table. But if you're into the whole Everything But the Kitchen Sink roll, or the the PB&J roll or whatever, you won't have that itch scratched here. So, anyhow, moving on to the washoku at large. I love getting noodles here. My fondest memories of Japan are of noodle slurping in soba shacks, and this is definitely the best place in Lex for the noodles, in my opinion. If you're not very familiar with Japanese food, please pay attention to whether the noodles are hot or cold on the menu, I've had dining companions melt into a pool of disappointment on realizing they ordered a cold dish. It says so on the menu, keep your eyes out. In no particular order, I think these are great: The Kamo soba: roasted duck over soba noodles in a giant bowl of broth(tsuyu) with pretty slices of kamaboko. My dad tried some of this and thought it was very bland, which I think perhaps a lot of people might also think, having limited exposure to Japanese cuisine. So, I would like to remind others that this is Japanese cuisine we're talking about and it is famous for its mildness. Just sayin'. Kitsune soba/udon- pieces of aburaage on top to soak up the broth. If you like a touch of sweet in your savory, please try this! And, also, aburaage is supposed to be soggy. The description of "deep fried tofu" can give the impression that some crispiness will be involved, which is no the case, the aburaage is meant to be a sponge soaking up the tsuyu. Taniku soba is another iteration of "brothy bowl of soba" sprinkled generously with bits of tempura batter (which also go all spongey to soak up the broth). Tenzaru soba is a bamboo-lined plate of chilled soba, a dish of tsuyu for dipping, and a plate of vegetable and shrimp tempura on the side. Some people may find cold soba off putting, but on a hot day it is strangely refreshing and filling. Now, I am not a hibatchi person, in fact, I hate hibatchi. But my folks and in-laws love it, and they urge me to say that they don't like the hibatchi dinners here. They are much more fond of Nagasaki on Tates Creek. So Hibatchi-lovers: don't come here. (?) Nagasaki is doing a better job at the hibatchi tables evidently.

    Best Sushi in town. Hidden location. Clean, consistent service and has the freshest fish in town. Plenty of variety on menu as well. The Soba and Udon are very good; enjoyed the seaweed salad and the octopus salad.

    Took two friends from out of town to Tachibana. These guys eat at some of the best restaurants in the country, so it was a tough decision where to take them in Lexiland. Mission accomplished! (for the most part) The high quality of fish at Tachibana impressed them. We drank and gorged on sushi to the tune of $$. Everything tasted fresh. The white tuna was perfect. Best rolls were the bluegrass and the tachibana (colorful). King crab was delicious too (not cheap though). At Tachibana I always sit at or near the sushi bar. I prefer this ambiance to the big hibachi area. Tried the Hibachi area recently with a group of friends in the horse industry. Impressions were: many of the hibachi dishes are over-priced, too much salt is used, and the overall quality of the hibachi ingredients is not as high as the sushi. The service at Tachibana could be more consistent. Giving four stars because the seafood product is very good. The service from the wait staff can be puzzling to say the least. I eat here semi-regularly. Oh, the soups are good too.

    I finally went to this restaurant during my last week in Kentucky and I ended up going for dinner 2 nights in a row. I wish I had found it earlier. I loved it -- there were some items on the menu that I don't see often in other typical japanese/sushi restaurants. I had the sushi/tempura combo dinner one night, and then the chirashi sushi the next. I thought the fish tasted very fresh and was generously cut. YUM.

    The service was friendly, but the sushi was boring. Nothing adventurous at all - standard California and Spider rolls. I have NO idea who would recommend this sushi. We also tried the Bluegrass roll which some people here mentioned, and it wasn't very good either. I probably wouldn't have known better when I first started eating sushi, but this restaurant is not for anyone looking for quality rolls. Also, this restaurant gets one star after my husband and I spotted a roach and an ant on the sushi bar. Gross!

    One of the better sushi restaurants in town. Normally we go to Tomo because we can walk there, but Tachibana is definitely worth the drive. The miso was perfect, not too salty like a lot I've had, the edamame was probably the best I've eaten. My fried shrimp roll was amazing, the others were very tasty but not as delicious as the shrimp roll. My fiance got an udon bowl which he enjoyed but couldn't finish - it was enormous! The service was friendly, and there were several Japanese folks eating there, which I always consider a good sign.

    We had lunch at Tachibana today- miso soup and various sushi, sashimi and maki. The food was decent- certainly not life altering, but tasty enough. The service was very good and extremely friendly. Though I hadn't been there in many years two things remained constant- a very shishi horse industry lunch crowd and a very tired, dreary decor. It would go a long way for the owners to overhaul the interior of the building which has very obviously been untouched since opening day especially since the exterior of the restaurant has quite a bit of charm.

    Legends says the original Toyota Plant Manager of the Georgetown KY plant Mr. F. Cho brought the best sushi chef from Japan to Kentucky so he could always have his favorite sushi. Some say that this is the finest sushi in the US. Fatty Tuna sashimi is to die for. They offer many different rolls and pieces, all excellent, fresh and flavorful. They also have dinners at reasonable prices. I had the pork kontatsu, which was fantastic, crunchy, moist inside and great flavor($13). The katsu sauce was just right. Dinner came with miso soup, green salad, rice and cabbage garnish with mayo. Giozza appetizers were perfect, and the dipping sauce was very good. They also offer tampanyaki dinners. Good selection of Japanese and domestic beer. This place is worth the visit.

    The family and I were driving across the country, and our Jeep decided that it needed to blow it's water pump. The closest hotel on our journey that was in our price range was the Quality Inn on Newtown Ct. Since it was around 7 at night we decided to grab some food before heading to bed for the early trip to the local garage for repairs. Conveniently Tachibana was right across the street. Since Japanese isn't my thing, it was my wife's choice. My kids are usually up for anything, so I just went along with it. We sat in the area where the food is not cooked at the table. My wife ordered some sushi and asked to have the salmon in a roll replaced with tuna...5 minutes later the sushi chef was berating the waitress in more than half English and less than half Japanese. What we got from the one way conversation was that he would not make the roll with the choice that the customer wanted. It was quite an impressive to see him chew her out like that, but the restaurant would have gotten another star if he had decided to do that in the back instead of in the dining area. The waitress came back and told us that they were out of tuna for the Sushi. I ordered a beef soup of some sort, since I don't eat Japanese very often I didn't have the ability to remember the name of the dish. It was delicious ass soon as the waitress set it down in front of me but the longer I had the dish the more it tasted like fish. Toward the end of the meal I asked her what the white circles with the pink swirls all over it was and she informed me that they were fish eggs. Too bad...I tried eating one anyway, and really didn't like it. Everyone else at the table loved their meals...the kids ate "special noodles" with chicken that they loved. And my wife, I couldn't even tell you what she ate. Its not that I wasn't paying attention...I just have no idea what anything is called.

About Taco Bell

Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.

The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.

Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.
