Welcome to New Albany and Louisville!
Food scene
Our favorite sushi place, also featuring vegetarian and vegan sushi. The original location in Louisville has a bigger menu but the ramen, tacos, sushi and beer served here alongside incredible ambiance make this our favorite spot. Look to sit at the traditional enclosed booths in the bar.
