Misawa Sushi Bar

For my partner's birthday, we decided to try here. What a hidden gem! I am so glad we found this place. While there is no open hibachi, it actually lends to the quiet and very relaxing atmosphere this place provides. The staff was wonderful. Our server, Kris, was so friendly and was one of the best servers I have ever had. When we mentioned my partner's birthday, we did not expect anything special or to be treated any other way but just like normal customers. Holy cow, was I wrong! They played music, and brought out a delicious tempura cheesecake! We were so overwhelmed with joy! Not only was the food amazing, the service was wonderful, and we left with full bellies and smiles. Thank you Kris and the staff of Misawa for making this day wonderful! ❤️ Can't wait to have dinner again there!

Delicious food and excellent service! Their sushi is phenomenal. I personally prefer it over Sake Blue and Saporro. Rich flavors, great servings (sushi), beautiful presentation. Ramen is delicious and the fried cheesecake was absolutely amazing. Kind servers, great vibe, and they made my brother (and by extension, us) feel special on his birthday celebration. Highly recommend!

If you are craving sushi rolls, be sure to visit Misawa. Located in Bardstown Road, the family-owned restaurant offers quality sushi rolls at a reasonable price. As you enter the place you can definitely feel the unique and modern ambience of the restaurant. Unlike its competitors, Misawa positions itself to be a contemporary and upscale, yet still casual, American-Japanese restaurant. My go-to sushi order is the Miss Veedol roll. It has a generous serving of spicy crab and tempura, then topped with salmon and drizzled with eel sauce and spicy mayo. The flavors work so well together. Our server Joanna also recommended the Derby roll, and I ended up loving the dish too! The seared scallop is the perfect addition to the roll, as the smokey taste from the seared side of the scallop complemented the delicate freshness of the scallop and shrimp. For the third roll, we decided to try a deep-fried roll. Their Sunday Morning roll is a spin on the staple deep-fried sushi roll-- it still has cream cheese, but with salmon replacing the usual spicy crab inside. For dessert, the sweet staff greeted my husband Happy Birthday with an equally beautiful and scrumptious tempura cheesecake! For date night, family lunch, catch up with friends, and anything in between-- go ahead and visit this place. Misawa definitely has our heart.

We arrived during the 7PM dinner rush, and had a 25 to 30 minute wait. There isn't a waiting area in, so we opted to wait in the car after giving out name and ph #. Honestly, it was worth the wait. I've been craving Ramen for weeks, and my bowl of tonkotsu ramen. The spicy sauce on the side added that extra kick I love in my broth. Loved the texture of the fried calamari, but wish it had a bit more salt or flavor. Can't wait to go back and try the rolls. I think my partner and I may become regulars.
