This place is so great. The sushi is a little pricey but definetly worth it.
lotsa fun! – We had a reservation last nite. We arrived early and we were blown away by how busy it was. After some cold sake we were shown to our seats. I love the energy of this place! Great food, sushi and music. Everybody was having such a good time, i don't know what has kept me away from Kenichi for so long. I ate the 8 oz filet, and had the kitchen slice it for me, it was incredible. We will be back soon!!
Consistiently inconsistient – I love Kenichi and will always recomend it to people looking for some great sushi downtown. Over the last few months there has been a large turnover of the staff and of the service as well. I've had some major events there with my family, friends and business but lately it seems like even with days in advance I can't get a decent reservation and if I do the service at the tables is questionable. Two visits in a row I either recieved other tables food or someone trying to pass off not so tasty fi... read more
Bad service, average food – I took 2 of my our of town friends there because of the location and atmosphere...what a MISTAKE!!! The service was terrible, they forgot my dinner and did nothing about it and it took 2.5 hours for 3 of us to eat. I will never, ever, ever go back to this place. Plus, they serve their sushi almost warm, its disgusting!
GREAT FOOD AND STAFF – I've heard alot about kenichi trough friends but never had a chance to actually try it. I was kind of skeptical after reading certain reviews .But let me tell you it was a great experience ,we sat at the sushi bar where we were treated like superstars. I asked the chef to make us something off the the menu as i was told to do, and one of the dishes that sticks out in my mind was a tuna sashimi with a granny smith apple relish and a truffle garlic soy it was to die for .What made my experience even bett... read more
Fantastic as usual. – Absolutely the best sushi and scene in the downtown area. We've been twice in the last two weeks, and have always been treated superbly at the door, at the table, and by the chefs. My boyfriend and I constantly recommend Kenichi to all our friends. Try the sashimi specials, and order a steak with chili butter...mmm...
Top Knotch – I walked in and the first thing I noticed was how packed it was! Right when I thought there was no way I was gonna get a table here, a manager greeted me and told me there was a small wait but that he would buy me and my friend sake for having to wait. I thought this was an awsome start to a great night. My waiter was awsome too. The waiter impressed us so much that we just let him bring the best food and drink out and everything was a homerun. The manager greeted us again on the way out, gave us a free appetize... read more
not impressed – i went to Kenichi last night with 4 other people. We had all heard only good things about it, so when Uchi had an 1.5 hour wait at 7pm on Wednesday we decided to try Kenichi. We were disappointed. I just moved to Austin from the gulf coast of Florida and I haven't been very impressed with the sushi selection in austin. Very boring rolls that are usually very overpriced. Uchi is the best in austin and i would only rate it slightly above average in the grand scheme of sushi. But again Florida has amazing sushi,... read more
Questionable – I'm a big believer in restaurants that serve great food with minimal fanfare. This seems to be the opposite of what the proprietors of Kenichi had in mind. This sushi restaurant is located in the warehouse district of Austin, and features a dimly lit room, loud music and bartenders with attitudes. I mean, I like bringing together flavors from different cultures, but this whole "Asian-Fusion" category must stop. I mean, what year do they think this is--1999? Any sushi restaurant that, when asked what their best... read more
