Excellent presentation and excellent taste! Shrimp, avacado tempura and scallion pancakes enjoyable. Great selection of cocktails.

Today we found a real gem among the Venice restaurants. It is Kendo Japanese restaurant. Ambiance is beautiful, staff very friendly, food brings you to ommm... condition. The seafood is fresh, sauces and garnish are delicious and match perfectly, great presentation. We had Sashimi Lunch, Eeel, Sea Urchin, Ginger salad. All of them were exceptional quality. We will be back. Highly recommend for the Sushi / Sashimi lovers.

We were very impressed with everything going on here at Kendo! They were very busy but still got us seated quickly at the bar, food came out VERY fast and was beautifully plated and beyond delicious! Our server was polite and fast and we could tell he was working hard and enjoying his job. The manager (or owner) was moving around the restaurant helping all the employees where needed and talking with customers. The whole operation seems very organized and like they have a really good team- something we rarely see in this area anymore. Thank you Kendo! We will be back! CRAB RANGOON was the best I've ever had!

Outstanding sushi

Wife and I tried it for first time a few days ago. Incredible sushi with amazing presentation. Sat at bar and served by owner Peter- very kind & engaging. Can't wait to return. We retire from 80 combined years win hospitality industry (all Hilton) so know and appreciate such a wonderful operation.

Underrated little hidden spot for my sushi and hibachi fix. Everything was fresh and made to order…read more We enjoyed a plentiful plate of female to start. The hibachi combo (shrimp, chicken and steak) for the price was hot, large and most importantly delicious. The ginger sauce and pink sauce was a great addition to complement the flavors. The cucumber sushi was made perfect to size and the spicy tuna roll and Mexican rolls carried just enough heat. The ambiance is a little odd with a mix if beach, contemporary and Asian accents but it's clean and comfortable. Great for pick up and eat in.

It's been a couple of years since I darkened the door of Fugus. The last time I ate there the food…read morewas great and there were several other diners. I popped in there with my 10 year old daughter today for a late lunch. The place was completely empty and appears to be mainly a take out place now although there are several booths. I told the young lady behind the counter that we were eating in so she brought us a menu as we sat down. I walked up to the counter to place our order of miso soup, California roll, and hibachi style steak udon. The soup & roll came out almost instantly served in take out containers complete with lids on and flimsy plastic cutlery. It seems to me that if there are multiple booths for eat in customers there should be regular serving dishes and utensils available for those diners. The miso soup had a strange flavor like it had absorbed the smell of a refrigerator IYKYK. The rice on the California roll was dry and crunchy on top as if it had been rolled hours earlier and left uncovered in a fridge to dry out. After a few minutes my udon appeared also in a covered take out container with a cheap flimsy plastic fork. I ordered it "habach" style so I expected that lovely browness you get from sautéing on a very hot flat top. There was none of that. The "steak" was gray and impossible to chew, most likely some cheap cut of roast that if treated properly might have passed for steak but as prepared was just cubes of grey tough flavorless muscle. The vegetables of carrots, broccoli, cabbage, and zucchini were cooked to mush with not a hint of seared flavor. The noodles were gummy and pasty and whatever small amount of sauce was at the bottom and watery and bland, didn't cling to the ingredients at all. I added a ton of soy sauce to try to enhance what little flavor there was but even that didn't do much. When the cashier approached to ask how everything was I, very nicely I promise, explained some of the issues. All she was interested in was telling me that everything was fresh not reused from yesterday and that I was wrong about my assessment. She offered no refund or remake although a remake wouldn't have been accepted anyways. I ate a few bites of the noodles because I was starving but we threw everything else out. We will not be back and I cannot recommend.
