    Craving some sushi and their menu look good so decided to try them out. The rolls were really big so definitely a good deal for the money. It was delivered fresh with no issues. Everything looked really pretty and fresh. The flavors were all there for the variety we ordered. Crispies were crisp, sweet was sweet, spicy had some kick. Overall seriously impressed with this place. Surprised that they make all these beautiful rolls out of a cart but dang I'm impressed!

    Ordered delivery from here and it never misses. The dynamite temaki wasn't my favorite but everything else was fresh and delicious. Cube tower sounds weird with strawberry in it but it's super good and the crispy rice is delicious

    When you asked me where's my go to place for sushi? Kenbu, immediately. #1. It's not a restaurant, it's a food truck located outside the flipside bar, but the amount of times I've gone (about 15+ times) it's NEVER missed!! maybe once.. but like..I was just trying new stuff and it wasn't sushi lol. ANYWAYS, sushi is affordable, big sizes and it taste great every time! I always order the same thing and they are -the Tokyo roll: bomb get it, 10/10 - salmon skin roll: crispy crunchy, recommend as well 10/10 -salmon roll: not only affordable but the size is great and it would fill me up. 10/10 -the ocean roll: my bf gets this, still very solid if you like shrimp tempura. 10/10 -Kenbu panini: if you want some different and crispy, I'd recommend this. Idk I love them, support them. They're a small business and they make delicious food, you can order and go inside the bar and grab a drink and eat inside too!

    Service was great, I got a sushi burrito but came back for seconds to have their sashimi platter! The fish was high quality, would recommend to sushi lovers.

    Sushi was good, not extraordinary given the high yelp ratings. the dressing in the salad was a bit salty and lack depth. i did like the atmosphere and this would be a good place to stop on the way home from the airport. they're fight off the freeway and they open late.

    Can't say I had any expectations from Kenbu. I do like the fact the ratings are very high...deservedly so I can confirm. I still find it a bit odd that one can get such delicious high quality food at a food cart. The ingenuity of Oregonians...kudos!! ~ PARADISE B-ROTTO - 5/5 Hand's down my favorite item I tried so far. This is what I envisioned a Sushi Burrito tasting like. I've been disappointed before at several other Sushi Burrito fusion concepts. Kenbu knocked it out of the park. It's not big, but it's put together rather well. All the ingredients, the Eel, Salmon, Crab, Avocado, and Cucumber tasted really fresh. The spicy sauce gave it a nice little kick without being overly spicy. ~ SPIDER MAN B-ROTTO - 4/5 My friend's kids love this "B-ROTTO" I thought it was good, but not my favorite. Very well done, the Tempura soft shell crab is cooked to perfection the crab, avocado, cucumber, green leaf tempura crispy with spicy and eel sauce just make this a delight to chow down. ~ PANINI - 4/5 Very interesting. This wasn't on the menu at the time of my visit. My friend had it before and literally asked them to make it. It's not a traditional Panini. There is no bread on this one. It's looks like it could be Keto friendly...but I think there is rice in it. Just don let get cold, it gets soft and rubbery. Engulf when warm...you have been warned. Will most definitely return when I'm in the area.

    First time trying Kenbu with these lovely ladies and it was delicious! I loved the Lobster Roll and the Crab Avocado Salad!

    Sushi is always great here. Service is great! I love the lobster roll and crab and avocado salad. My staples. Always hits the spot and we love hanging out at Flipside. Such a relaxed and fun vibe always.

    After seeing several amazing shots and ratings, especially of the Lobster Roll, tried Kenbu sushi at Flipside Bar & Carts. Absolutely incredible plating, fantastic taste profiles & value. Had plenty to eat between that and the salmon skin hand roll with enough to take home for a snack later. Will definitely be back to try more and sip a cold one in the bar area--which was welcome on this hot day.

    The best sushi we've had in Portland! Delicious, fresh, friendly and fast service. Indoor and outdoor seating

    Kenbu Sushi is a food pod located at Flipside Bar and Carts. You order your food at the pod and can take it inside the bar to eat. Rolled up to Kenbu Sushi after a long Sunday parading around and I got to tell you I was hangry. I ordered: -Spicy crispy chicken ($14) - the chicken was crispy perfection and the sauce used on top had the perfect spice level for me. I cleaned the entire plate. -Tokyo Roll ($13) - Spicy tuna, cucumber, avocado on top with white fish and masago, decent sized roll and the fish tasted great! Service was friendly and the food came out FAST which my hangriness was appreciative of. I will definitely be back when I want some quick and solid sushi!

    This was one of the best sushi places/experiences that I've had. I wasn't really sure what to…read moreexpect for the Omakase portion but the steamed egg with Uni and salmon roll was delicious. I really appreciate that you have the opportunity order other things after the Micah is done. It gives you a lot of opportunities to try out other things or double down on things that you really enjoyed. The $20 sake tasting was a big value. The owner had a great recommendation for all the different sockets that they offered with all the sushi. Next time I'm in Portland I'll be sure to come back here

    Soooo good. Quality AYCE with awesome service. It's interesting starting off with 2 plates of…read moreomakase before getting to do the AYCE, labeled as the "omakase tasting". I thought they were going to be fillers but they tasted great and actually put new fish I've never had before on the map for me! Some of my favorites were - kanpachi - kome buri - ama ebi - salmon (I liked it more than the king salmon, maybe I have peasant taste) - toro The omakase was well thought out as you can see and we even enjoyed the miso soup. I think the price tag of $100/person can initially be steep but you can easily spend this much on these nicer orders. I was also worried they might drop the quality during the AYCE portion but it continued to be delicious and service was consistent throughout (there was another group of 13 people so service was a bit slow having to divide time between the rest of the restaurant and them). I highly recommend this place and will for sure come back. Some delicious quality fish and my new favorite if I'm coming hungry!

    TL;DR Delicious, Umami filled sushi with special respect to the craft…read more Where to begin with this sushi restaurant? With a combined 115 years of experience this restaurant shines with what feels like authentic sushi. We were there with a group of four and were seated promptly for our reservation at 5:45 PM. Our server Ben was an absolute delight and brought vibrancy and genuineness to his service. So shoutout to Ben. I was a bit disappointed that they were unable to accommodate my Tokyo Tea request for a cocktail (I'm always about efficiency when drinking ) but the cocktails that we did receive were elegant and refreshing. But now to the meat of the review or should I say fish? We were taken on a journey through the Toyosu fish market or so I'm and had several delicious rolls such as the Yama roll, Salmon and Scallop, Jamison and the simple California roll. We also had two of the nigiri the salmon belly and the unagi which were both fall apart tender deliciousness in your mouth. Needless to say I am looking forward to our next visit and would love to experience their version of an omakase since the quality was there.

    We had a very different experience with Momoyama this time, and unfortunately it was disappointing…read more We previously dined at Momoyama and thought the food was excellent -- beautiful presentation, high-quality sushi, and a gorgeous setting in the Pearl District. Service was average, but the food more than made up for it. Because of that first experience, we decided to place a fairly large takeout order for a family dinner last night. Big mistake. We were told the order would be ready in 30 minutes. We arrived on time only to discover they had not even started preparing it yet. The explanation was "a computer issue," but nobody called us to let us know there would be a delay, and no real apology was offered. By the time we finally got the food, we were already late for dinner and had to head straight home. When we opened the bag, the nigiri had been packed so poorly that everything was jumbled together in a heap. We literally spent 10 minutes trying to reassemble the sushi ourselves. What disappointed us most was the way management handled the situation afterward. We called expecting that a restaurant positioning itself as upscale would want to make things right. Instead, the manager argued with us, reviewed security footage, and claimed that because we briefly checked the bag at pickup, the order must have been fine when it left the restaurant. We checked that the boxes were there -- we did not open every container because we trusted the restaurant to package the food properly. The bottom line: the dine-in experience may still be worth it because the food itself is genuinely very good, but based on our experience, order takeout at your own risk.
