Food: Menu meets Michelin standard

Kenbey Sushi shows potential in its creative charm akin to Michelin-grade establishments. The Bluefin Tuna Nigiri gives a tease of what could be with its superior quality and the Shitake, Shishito, Lotus Root appetizer, though unremarkable, carries the flag of freshness. But, alas, the taste greatly disappoints, leaving patrons unhappy and underwhelmed as the value doesn't seem to match the disappointing experience.

  • Great Quality

    Fish consistently described as flawlessly fresh across multiple reviews.

  • Almost Creative

    Competes with michelin establishments, implying high culinary standards.

  • Bad Taste

    Terms like terrible, lackluster, underwhelming, and disappointing indicate dissatisfaction.

Vibe: Stuffy and discomforting

The dining experience at Kenbey Sushi takes a turn for the worse with odorous, uncomfortable ambiance accompanying equally poor service. The pacing of the food was off, making it a poor choice for date nights. The ambiance gives a feeling of discomfort that simply makes the overall experience so unpleasant

  • Bad For Dates

    Bad pacing of food, atmosphere downer, not great for date vibes.

Perks: Parking woes and poor service

The crammy setting of Kenbey Sushi already dampens the experience and to make matters worse, parking becomes a challenge during peak hours. Though the reservation process doesn't seem to be an issue for many, the service is ridden with staff gossips and tardiness

  • Okay To Reserve

    Reservation process not detailed enough for more accurate insights.

  • Bad Service

    Uncomfortable environment, staff gossiping, and slow service mentioned.
