Best Sushi in Austin and so much more – I had a wonderful experience at Kenichi last Saturday. My friends came to visit me, and I wanted to show them a great time and a great meal. We had the Japanese Bagel Roll and the specialty roll, the T Money Roll. Both were exquisite and refreshing. George is the best sushi chef in town. I often come in and sit at the sushi bar and watch him work his magic. We loved the eggplant dishes and I can't say enough about the black cod that is marinated for 72 hours! Fabulous! My friend's love... read more
Too much hype! Worst sushi !!! – My husband and I went to Kenichi a couple months ago for the first time to try their sushi. Mainly because it was recommended to us and also it had good reviews. It certainly did not make a good impression. When we first walked in, it was really crowded, but we were able to get a table, unfortunately next to the most annoying and obnoxious couple. The tables are all next to each other, even at the booth area. People that kept passing by kept bumping my husband's back, he kept ducking people t... read more
Most exciting dining experience in years – Went to Kenichi last Thursday night, what a way to start the weekend. The place was dark and full of energy. Both the sushi and the hot food was wonderful, especially after taking some recomendations from the staff, who were fun, interesting and extremely knowledgable. The chef's prepared some of the most aesthetically pleasing, harmonious dishes-definetely give the specials a shot! And don't neglect the pan-asian kitchen, even non-sushi eaters can have a wonderful meal. The cold sa... read more
Average Sushi – Kenichi has better kitchen food than sushi. True art of sushi is in making the tofu, but they buy their's already made. The restaurant seems hip, but when you look closer: the chairs are chipped and torn. They charge a lot for their food, but they don't know how to upkeep their restaurant. I recommend Uchi's (Owner Tyson Cole was trained by the owner of Mushashino's) or Mushashino's (service is not so great here, so go eat at the bar-sushi is worth it).
Stellar service, okay food – It had been awhile since the last time I went to Kenichi, but a few friends of mine and I were able to squeeze in without a reservation a couple weekends ago, so we decided to grab a quick bite to eat before heading out to the clubs. My friends and I all agreed that though our waiter was attentive and made great suggestions, the sushi was flat in appearance and took forever to make it to our table. Honestly, we would have eaten twice as much in half the time if it didn't take forever to come out.... read more
Bad Food – I went to the place for the 1st time to do a birthday celebration for my girl friend last night after hearing from family and friends how great the food is ... unfortunately, the food was not worth the charge. I mean, it didn't taste horrible but it wasn't the quality that I thought it would be since the place is known to be great!! In addition, the pictures on the company website look pretty good. The three different sushi rolls I ordered was in different sizes and falling apart by the time it came to the table. ... read more
Expensive tasteless food...Where is th service? – I am guessing that Kenichi gets its business from business travelers and out of towners who dont know any better...This place would be out of business if it was not for where it is located. I went there one evening and we were sat at the sushi bar which is right across from where the waitresses get the drinks. It was very inconvienient because they were reaching over our shoulders and over our food to grab sushi from the chefs to serve to the tables. Sushi that tastes so bad ... read more
Good Food paired with Poor Service – Recently went to Kenichi and was torn after my experience there. Although we were seated promptly at the sushi bar for a Saturday night, I was not impressed with the wait staff took 20 mintues just to take our drink orders. The waitress then showed up and did not even bring me a drink. After she brough my friend a drink, she left and didn't come back for another 20 mintues. On top of forgetting a drink, she also forgot an item I ordered from the kitchen. The saving grace was the guy prepa... read more
not great – I wouldn't recommend this restuarant - having made complaints about service in the past I've had no satisfactory outcome though i have contacted the manager and owner.
