They have the best sushi ever! A La Carte or Omakase but to be able to choose what you want and it’s all extremely fresh and good quality. Great beer and sake. They play good music and it’s all around great vibes. The service was also the best around. At the end we asked for Natto hand rolls (not on menu) and they made them!

Don’t follow the reserve link just call them, leave a voice mail and you would probably get a table that same night!! We were there on a Saturday night and it was completely empty except for 2 other tables. I suspect people are seeing the resy options not available for the weekend and thinking they are booked out!Everything we ate was so fresh and delicious and Kenji has the best Santa Barbara uni hands down. The server also recommended a bottle of sale and it was so good follow her recommendations. Definitely comjng back here again

Fresh fish, good cuts. lotus root croquet was Deelish.Service was attentive and helpful. A little pricey but worth it. A great quiet, chill space in Silver Lake with parking!

Had our anniversary dinner here and each dish was better than the next. Sitting at the counter with the friendly chef was a wonderful experience, he's clearly very passionate about his restaurant. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The sushi is very high quality, every dish was truly delicious, and yet the atmosphere is casual and not pretentious. Can't recommend highly enough.

Finally we have EXQUISITE sushi in Los Feliz/Silver Lake! And not even that...but Kenbey is one of the best sushi restaurants in all of LA!!! It rivals all the top Valley spots, Sushi Park, Matsuhisa, Matsumoto, Go's Mart, Sushi Spot, Sushi Zo, you name it! There's flawlessly fresh golden eye snapper, red snapper, melt-in-your-mouth scallops, salmon belly, halibut, halibut fin, ocean trout, plus unique fish you can't find anywhere else. It's also owned and operated daily/nightly by the sushi chef Kenji-san. Support this incredible local business - you won't be sorry!

Small place, simple and unassuming looking, hard to see it if you're not familiar with the area but the service is good and the food is super fresh and delicious. Each sushi topping was very fresh and the temperature of the sushi rice was perfect. We also tried the lamb and it was delicious. I usually not a fan of eating lamb but this place knows how to make it right, good aroma, nice flavor and so soft that it melts in your mouth. They also have a nice selection of Japanese Sake and Japanese beer.I'm surprise not many people seem to know about Sushi Kenbey because there are not many reviews in yelp. I guess someone must to have missed the memo in yelp because this place is better than many well known brands nearby out there, it's definitely a must try!
Any day you walk into Kenbey is a good day. I have to get to 85 characters for this to be a review, so these words are just fillers.

We’ve been coming here since they first opened - although it’s been a minute since our last visit. Their prices have gone up by a bit since our first visit, but lunch today was good and quick.

Very good but Very basic and Overpriced for location …would return but didn’t leave feeling like I needed to come back either. It is what it is.

Friendly service and delicious food. Decor isn't exciting but it's clean and minimal. The only thing that I found odd is that the whole sushi bar is reserved for omakase. The actual sushi bar was empty except for 2 couples.I doubt this is a sustainable business model which is a shame because the food is excellent
The best sushi spot in Los Angeles.
