Aqua Sushi Bar

Not super authentic, but it definitely hits the spot. I find myself constantly craving it. Everything from the spicy California roll, fantasy roll, boston, crab Rangoon roll down to the volcano roll has been delicious. Prices are a little higher for a smaller size roll.
Wish the rolls were a little bigger for the price, but it seems to be good quality. Definitely worth it!

I give it a 3 and a half. I hate to rate any of Bluegrass Hospitality Group restaurants anything less than a five, because the group and their concepts are practically genius. The fact that you can dine in Malone’s if you’re feeling fancy, Harry’s if you’re feeling more casual and want to watch a game on their many televisions.
Aqua Sushi is nestled close to the entrance of Malone’s, inside of the indoor portion of Harry’s. Aqua Sushi isn’t ‘a restaurant, it’s more a bar area that makes sushi and has it’s own menu. But of course you eat in at either Malone’s of Harry’s. So, it’s not a carry out sushi sort of place.
I have tried the Crab Ragoon Roll sushi once and it was excellent, it’s just not something that I would order or eat an entire roll of. My usual is the California Roll, occasionally it comes out smaller than usual and once, during lunch hours, the rice was a bit warm… as if it was just recently made and hardly cooled.
All in all, this location is good and because there’s so many additions that you can add, for example, the complimentary bread and the bottomless Lexingtonian salad. Considering those and that the service is ALWAYS on point, I highly recommend it.

Pretentious!!! This was my first time so I didn’t realize that it was located inside Malone’s. I asked the hostess to direct me to Aqua and she huffed and just pointed behind her. So I seated myself and waited about 10 minutes for a server to stop eating and ask me for my drink order. I asked what was on their happy hour menu, she snarked «Malones doesn’t „do“ happy hour»… So I replied fine I will just have water, She brought my water back quickly and asked if I knew what I wanted and I asked for a moment… Should have never done that, she went back and started eating again… Sooooo 10 minutes later once she was done, she took my order.
Sad think of it is the sushi was wonderful, some of the best I have ever had. But they will never get another dime from me, I am not a fan of what they consider customer service.

Crab Rangoon roll delish

We visit this sushi bar every time we are in town because it is a short walk across the street to our hotel.
The sushi is good considering it is Kentucky. ;) They have a nice selection, nothing to write home about, but good. I have to remind myself… I’m in the south, I’m in the south… when it comes to speed of service. ;) But the selection of beer and the horse racing (and other sports) on the many screens behind the bar will fill the time!
We will be back again next year when we are in Lexington for the Rolex.

The hotel person recommended me with «volcano rolls» but I thought that was highly rated… I was expecting more. but I thought it was too plain.

They have a little bit of something for everyone. All cooked rolls for beginners and sashimi or complex rolls for sushi lovers. They get creative too.
Try the crab Rangoon roll, a cross between California roll and a Chinese crab Rangoon

I loved their appetizers and their wine selection!!! We bought a bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay and it was a great night!!! We sat on the bar side so we could watch the games but you can order from all three restaraunts… The sushi was good and the gyozas were silky smooth and yummy!!! My friend ordered some fried crab things and enjoyed them alot… Next time I’m in Lexington, KY I will definitely be going back… And they have a heated outside area… I likes this place alot
