Was in San Diego last November and was fortunate enough to have Ken serve up a magical Omakase experience to die for! Every dish was better than the next. A must go to place and the menu is loaded with tons of options.

This is amazing. The sushi is so fresh. Not even a hint of fishiness in any of the sushi. All you taste is the delicious fish. No weird after taste or anything like that. They have amazing specialty rolls. They've got truffles they've got smoker. They will blow your mind. I highly recommend people check this place.

I loved our server he was so nice. Sushi was okay. I had better but I would give 4 star if hostess would give us an outside table which was empty while we are dining inside. I had reservation here couple days ago and they asked me if I want inside or outside, I said inside because I didn’t know outside vibe. It was this nice balloon tents and fire pit. We were celebrating Valentine’s Day 1 day early because they were all booked. The hostess told us no for outside table. And I wanted to wait and she said it’s not available another 1.5 hours so we had to sit inside. Literally 5 min later that outside table left and that table was empty all 1 hour and 15 min we dined. It’s so frustrating that people doesn’t want to help. It would be so nice to celebrate our Valentine’s Day with fire pit and romantic. It wasn’t that hard.

Really delicious sushi, but really expensive. Probably one of the more expensive places that I've been to. Everything is good, but the prices are ridiculous.

I can write you a 2 paragraph report or I can tell you that I've never been to a better sushi place. The food quality. The level of attention. You get what you pay for. And sometimes you get more! This place is for nice dates & good food.

It's good but pricey. I like to eat but it's not enough for an entree personally.
Outstanding Sushi ?Bummer, they did not have sweet shrimp (tails and fried heads) ?

Haven’t been back to Ken’s since 2022 and I must say, Ken continues to excel and push the boundaries of creative and quality sushi. Hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in the world, and this sushi master deserves multiple Michelin stars. Ken is extremely welcoming, funny, and makes the omakase experience extremely approachable and not the least bit stuffy.The atmosphere at the restaurant is fantastic and upbeat. A great date spot, an easy family dinner spot, but if you want a real treat: sit at the sushi bar and let Ken take you on a journey.I have recommended Ken’s sushi workshop to many people and all of them come back to me in shock at how amazing this spot is. If you’re looking for ambiance, quality, and a creative sushi dining experience, you must come here and you must sit at the sushi bar for the omakase experience.10/10

We had a reservation at 7:30 and arrived on time.We were told the table was being cleaned and it would be a couple minutes. Lo and behold, 20 minutes pass, so we ask the hostess what's going on, and she says the party at our table won't leave and they've been there since 5:30. So why did she lie to begin with? We wait about 15 more minutes and ask to speak to a manager, who takes another 15 minutes to come speak to us. Right before he comes, she informs us our table is ready, but we were not going to sit until we spoke to the manager.All he had to offer was a bottle of sake after waiting almost an hour for our reservation that we were on time for, and we don't even drink. He barely even had the decency to say sorry. Truth be told, I don't even think he was a manager, I saw him the whole time waiting on tables. We informed him that we will not be dining at this establishment ever again unless the situation is made right, which it wasn't. I have never experienced a restaurant handle a situation like this. Truly appalling. We ended up dining at Moment Sushi 5 minutes away and they treated us with the utmost respect and seated us right away! The staff are so kind and attentive, the fish is fresher than Ken, and the ambience is top tier!
