“ Wow! Just wow! Mary Kate was phenomenal! I have never felt so at home at a restaurant. Truly exceptional service, food and atmosphere! I can’t recommend Wasabi Sommerset and Mary Kate enough! ”
“ It's the combination of cuisines that everyone has been asking for. Wait...you didn't ask for it? Well neither did I, but someone did, and here we are. The name of the place makes you think Japanese, but the place itself with its decor, workers, and menu certainly makes you think Mexican. Mexican food seems to be predominant here, but there are definitely the Asian staples available. They don't seem to have sushi, and dishes like sesame chicken are probably considered Chinese, so I'd say this is more Asian than Japanese, but whose quibbling about such things deep in Kentucky? I had the orange chicken, and it was good, and definitely better than I expected because I didn't really know what to expect. They used white meat chicken and the sauce wasn't overpowering which I appreciate. The zuchinni was good, and a nice touch. As for the portion sizes, they are more than ample. If you are on the larger side, or what Buffalo Bill would call "a great big fat person" then you will be pleased. ”
