Best Sushi for Date Night in Louisville

Looking for a date night spot that's not the same old steakhouse or Italian place? Sushi is a great move. It's shareable, fun to eat, and shows you've got good taste.

Why Sushi Works for Date Night

• It's shareable — ordering a few rolls to split feels more intimate than everyone staring at their own plate
• It's an experience — trying new rolls together gives you something to talk about
• It's not too heavy — you won't feel like you need a nap after dinner
• It looks good — sushi is one of the most visually appealing foods out there
