My friend had the King of Kings as our server said this is one of their most popular choices. I opted for the Spicy Charsu. Now I understand some people can't handle heat but I live off of Purple Tongue hot sauce which is made with some pretty hot peppers. I asked for a level one and the lady explained that the spice level on the Charsu was a whole series of levels higher than the King of Kings. I get that . Give me the heat. Anywho, she was comfortable with giving me 0.5 but said I could make it hotter if need be. Ok, better to start smaller I guess. They put some sauce on the side which I added to my bowl. Personally I found the 0.5 a nice tingle; it was good. Made my nose run. But I'm totally getting the level 1 next time. My friend however tried a sip of my broth, spit it out and said poison poison because of the heat Mind you, his King of Kings was a level 1. Which to me tasted creamy and delicious. I love a good pork bone soup and I opted for the Spicy Charsu because of the pork bone base. I loved the broth. It was perfection. The noodles were so fresh . The portion size was enormous. I kept eating and more noodles appeared. The Charsu had an amazing flavor to it . Smoky and delicious . My friend is a larger man and even he commented on the portion size saying he would be ok with a smaller size as he was so full. Good portions for your money. We also had the Gyoza and the TakoYaki. The TakoYaki was soft and loaded with the delicious sauce. The Gyoza were enormous. We were both 100% satisfied with our visit and will be back for sure.

The concerned server told me that it may be painful, but being the chili head that I am, I gladly took on the challenge. It was a larger bowl than their regular size and my ramen came topped with lots of corn, some mushrooms, bean sprouts and 6 large pieces of chasu. The broth was magma red, but it was not as spicy as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it was spicy but not to the point where it would warrant a warning. The spicy broth tasted like a mix of Buldak sauce and Capsaicin, but didn't have much depth. I finished my ramen, broth and all and enjoyed most of the experience. The least favorite was the chasu and the egg as chasu did not taste fresh, and I could not taste the char on them at all. The egg was over-cooked and under marinated which was disappointing. It's still one of the few ramen options in Durham but can't say it's comparable to the other Kenzo locations.

It was a little confusing at first, as I had never been to an all-you-can-eat, cook-it-yourself restaurant before. Once we got the hang of it, though, it was a lot of fun. The proteins were delicious and came in very generous portions. I would have liked to see a few more vegetable options, but there was still plenty to choose from. The service was excellent, and we had a great time overall. I think two people is a perfect number for this type of restaurant, although I imagine it could get a little more chaotic with a larger group--especially when everyone is cooking at the same time! Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Ordered 2x Pcs Sea Urchin Sushi ($4.50 each). Ordered 2x Pcs Botan Ebi Sushi ($3.50 each). This tray consists of salmon n avocado, spicy salmon, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura roll, snow roll, red dragon roll. The rice ratio to fish was pretty good. The rolls were all consistent and was well made and tasted good. The sea urchin had nice taste to it and price is very good. The botan shrimp sushi was great as well and price is very good too. Overall, I'm happy to share that this place actually holds up to their reviews and the product this sushi place serve I can say is the best we've had so far in Durham region. Its probably not as good as Markham, Scaborough or Toronto area, but for Durham its #1! May want to dine in there some time in future, but its good to know take-out here will be solid choice.
