      the omakase was absolutely outstanding and the pistacchio beignets were mind blowing. we got great, personable service. the ONLY downside, one not big enough to take off stars, was the music. the genres were super random and the volume was too loud to hear my partner most of the time even though the rest of the restaurant was mostly empty. that being said though, i’d still go back even if they didn’t make any change to the music… hope they do though

      For the price of Kenji, it couldn't be more not worth it. My partner and I felt constantly rushed by the waitress our whole meal, and she asked if we were ready for dessert 30 minutes into our meal. Not to mention we ordered the crème-filled beignets without the crème, and this took 45 minutes. We were not impressed, as the sushi wasn't good enough to make up for everything else. And to top it off the bill is pricey. So for anyone looking for sushi, I wouldn't recommend Kenji. There are much better and cheaper options available.

      Went for the 12 course omakase, everything was fresh and delicious. We were served by a team of four that made us feel very well taken care of. It can get quite loud inside which is probably due to the buildings acoustics but overall a great experience

      High energy! Great vibes. The service was great and our server recommended amazing options. Food was on the expensive side but if you don’t mind paying for fresh and clean cuts, then this is a must!

      My wife and I decided to go to Kenji for her Birthday. This was worth every single dollar!!! It’s expensive but these types of experiences are the essence of fine dining. To anyone that wants to experience this, I wholeheartedly say save the money and enjoy your time….
