This was our second time visiting, and it was just as good as we remembered. This time we came here for lunch as we were craving sushi, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is really spacious inside and has a nice atmosphere. The service was great too!

Everything tasted super fresh, and beautifully presented. The plating for the rolls was especially pretty when they came out. To top it all off we tried the fried oreos for dessert, and they were warm, crispy, and absolutely delicious.

Definitely a spot worth trying :)

This was a nice sushi restaurant.

Had some nice vibes and good service.

The food was pretty good.

The only thing I'd avoid is the green tea cheesecake. That was honestly a little disappointing. The rest of the food was great however.

The food was fresh and delicious. The new Golden Lobster Roll had more chunks of lobster and was just perfect for my taste.

Kenzo Sushi, Absolutely fantastic sushi! Every piece was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The chef clearly takes great pride in the quality and presentation of each dish. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're looking for top-quality sushi, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

A Solid Sushi Experience with Promising Changes Ahead:

Kenzo Sushi delivers a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience that hits most of the right notes. The restaurant immediately impresses with its welcoming atmosphere, anchored by a stunning large fish tank that creates a serene, authentic ambiance perfect for both casual meals and special occasions.
The service truly stands out here – the staff is genuinely kind and attentive without being overbearing. Their warm hospitality makes you feel like a valued guest from the moment you walk in.

The food quality is where Kenzo Sushi really shines. The chirashi was a highlight, featuring remarkably fresh fish with generous, well-proportioned rice. My only minor critique would be that the sushi rice could benefit from just a touch more vinegar to achieve that perfect balance, but this is a small detail in an otherwise excellent dish. The rolls were absolutely delicious – clearly crafted with care and skill.

What makes this review particularly exciting is the news that Kenzo Sushi will be under new ownership next month. The incoming owner brings extensive experience from the West Coast sushi scene, which has me genuinely excited about the potential improvements and innovations coming to an already solid foundation.

If you're looking for quality sushi with excellent service in a pleasant setting, Kenzo Sushi is definitely worth a visit. And with the upcoming changes under experienced new leadership, this could very well become a destination spot. I'll certainly be returning to see how this promising transition unfolds.

Visited: [7/22/25]. Will update after experiencing the new ownership transition.

Kenzo is a good place to eat and with delicious food but the big problem they have is the service, they are always rushing you, if you ask for a refill they serve you half a glass but what ended up surprising me was that a few days ago I went to dinner with my wife and my 3 month old son everything was going well until the waitress came up to us and told us that it smelled bad if we had already checked my baby's diaper in a rude way I understand that it is a place to eat but my baby did not have a dirty diaper, If he had a dirty diaper we would have detected it, we were next to him, my wife had to go to the van to check him and as we assumed he had nothing in his diaper. If you want to eat here I recommend ordering to go.

WARNING: The waitress will literally run out the door and into the parking lot to confront you if you don't leave a tip or don't tip enough (by her standards) Tips are based on your service, they're NOT required!!
I've been to this restaurant before and it was decent, however today was a totally different story. We were seated within a few minutes but then it took the waitress awhile to even take our drink orders and even longer to bring them to the table. She then disappeared for awhile before she came back to take our food order, when our appetizer made it to the table she only refilled my husband's drink. We stacked our empty plates in a neat pile and waited for our sushi rolls which took FOREVER as well. When the sushi rolls finally came out she didnt bother refilling any other drinks (which were low at the time) or clearing the empty plates to give us more room at the table. She then disappeared again, occasionally walking by the main tables by the fish tank, peeking over at us, but never approaching us again. My daughter finished her food and wanted the fried oreos, my drink was also completely empty to where you could hear a slurping sound, but nothing. We didn't see her again until she put the bill on our table. Again we were still eating, never asked for the bill or anything and she never asked if we wanted anything else....but she took it upon herself to ring us out. After placing the bill on the table she walked away and disappeared forever again. At this point we were annoyed and just wanted to pack our food up/go, it wasn't until she saw us STANDING/WAITING near the table that she approached us to take payment. I walked my kids out while my husband took care of the bill. Next thing I kno, shes running after him in the parking lot because shes not happy with what he put on the receipt. This is UNACCEPTABLE.....We're normally big tippers/go above and beyond because we know how tough the times are, but when you blatantly ignore us/have horrible service, I'm not going to put in the extra effort to appease you.....I will not be returning ever again

Family friendly, great service, food was good. Nice local spot to get a quick sushi fix. We were in and out in an hour and it’s tough on Saturday night with a 10 month old.

worst place ever!! we’ve been there 3 times and first the attention sucks, they said that they closed at 10pm and they offer the services since 9pm rushing, everything needs to be fast, horrible place to eat , even when the sushi it’s so good the place definitely is a cero stars. We drove 30 minutes and when we got there they said they don’t have more rice and literally close the door in our face.
