I love the options that Shoto offers You choose your protein, sauce, veggie, and the carb. I do wish I could get half rice and half noodles but that's okay. The sweet carrots are delicious and I could drink the white sauce. My husband tried some egg rolls to start and they were pretty tasty. A great place for takeout or a quick dinner in for some good hibachi.

Well this is just one of our favs in Lexington. Especially the 'pick your own' menu. The coconut shrimp is DIVINE! If you like mixed drinks, Jimmy upstairs at the bar will make a masterpiece for you.
