Went on a Saturday late night around 10.30 pm. The restaurant has its own parking lot and one block away from the bustling Santana row area. Got a seat right away. Got the miso soup which was very comforting. Also got a few rolls- spicy lion king- this was a baked one and really yum. The golden spicy was also a cooked roll and was a hit on our table. The shrimp tempura was nothing too crazy- just a basic roll. The crunch mango was very interesting with sweet mango in it. The place wasn't too crowded at that hour but at the same time wasn't too empty. We got a booth to sit.
King crab City by the sea Dancing dragon Shoyu Garlic Monkey brain It is true they have a sign that in exchange for 5 starts you get a fre dessert but the food was actually 5 starts everything tasted good i have no complaints the parking lot was full their drink menu looked good I didnt get to try anything but would next time Service was good staff were nice
This is my second time coming to Kenji Sushi, and both visits have been such a delightful experience. It's nice that they are open late so it's a really great spot to visit when you're craving some late night sushi. The sushi is absolutely delicious, we ordered the Crunch Mango Roll, Army Roll, and Shrimp Tempura Roll, and all three paired really well together. Each roll was flavorful and satisfying. The service has been consistently kind, with staff checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay, which we really appreciated. The ambiance is on the dim side, but it creates a nice, relaxed atmosphere overall.
Late night sushi! Right across Santa Row Tried the Cherry Blossom and Mango Crunch rolls and really enjoyed both. The fish tasted fresh, the rice had a great texture (not mushy or dry), and the avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy. Flavors were well balanced and everything tasted clean and high quality. Solid sushi spot I'd definitely order these rolls again!
I would say Kenji Sushi is a fairly decent place to try out sushi. I have had better sushi at other places for sure. The rolls were well made. They didn't break or anything. The victoria secret roll was decent also. Nothing spectacular. However, for an okay sushi spot, the prices are on the higher side. We got the kenji tempura toll, spicy tuna roll, yellowtail roll and the victoria secret roll. Our friends ordered an assortment of nigiri and Philadelphia roll. They enjoyed their sushi. I liked the chicken karage a lot. It came with mayonnaise. We ordered two of those. The miso soup was very good too. It wasn't watered down at all. It's minutes walk to Santana Row. Try it this spot for sushi and especially their chicken karagge. It's Christmas time so the restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Service could be improved for the area the restaurant's at. Parking is at the location.
We have dined here twice and both times I've forgotten to take photos before eating it all ! Service is good. We came here for my daughter's birthday and at the end they brought her an ice cream dessert! We really enjoy the sushi! The first time so we came back with friends the next time, they had salmon plates which they really enjoyed, they were huge portions! Two big pieces of salmon with rice, salad, potstickers and egg roll and a side of sauce . We will definitely be coming back, it's definitely worth the drive and we have enjoyed service and mainly Amazing food .
I can't say I am much for Sushi, but Kenji Sushi I have to give you five stars since you had an entire menu page devoted to vegetarian food. I ordered the Veggie Caterpillar Roll with asparagus, tempura, and cucumber. It was really yummy for being veggie and the sauce it came with was excellent. Moderately priced, this restaurant is bustling with tables turning over quickly. It's good to see this place so busy which usually means the food is fresh. The waitstaff was kind and our order came out without a long wait. I couldn't use chop sticks so the waitstaff gave me a fork. I tried my dates food which was real sushi, it was tasty, but I couldn't eat much of it. I did accidentally take a big bit of wasabi sauce which I wasn't prepared for. This is entirely my fault, but if you aren't familiar with the sauces and a sushi newbie beware the green sauce. You don't need much! The only thing I would warn you about is the parking. The lot is small, and the parking goes fast. It's a bit difficult to maneuver out of the restaurant if all the parking is taken, but it is possible to back up if you turn around at the entrance.
The food at this sushi place was amazing! We ordered a side house salad, lion king roll, OMG Roll, spicy garlic edamame, and temptation and river child drinks! The service was fantastic and they came out very readily with the food, prepped well! I would recommend when you come to space out the orders as it was almost too fast...so you can enjoy the appetizers and the sushi! The decor was amazing and the ambiance set, along with the low playing music in the background made it very cheery, fun, and welcoming! The quality of sushi is great too and the portions are expected for a sushi restaurant. The price is reflective of what is portrayed too on the review pages! :) 10/10 will return again!
Back at Kenji Sushi and everything was great! We started off with the veggie gyoza and miso soups. For the rolls, we got the Noah Roll which was my favorite, the mango crunch, and the city by sea roll. Everything came out super fast and the sushi tasted very fresh with delicious flavor combos. Service was also great!
Been to Kenji Sushi by accident. I can say that whatever you don't expect will give you a fantastic result. Long story short, couldn't find parking lot at Santana Row, so I made a U-turn and saw Kenji on the right side. I was starving at that time, and let's stop. We ordered 4 different items, and all of them were extremely delicious. The sashimi was super fresh, the tartar was amazing, the Mija roll was refreshing, and the gyoza was yum yum. (10/10) The server, a young nice gentleman, was enthusiastic and patient. I like the way he did his job. (9/10) The decoration was mixed between Xmas and some wood decor. I felt comfy enough to enjoy my food. (9/10) Overall, this sushi restaurant need to be shouted out by me, a foodie in Northern California. COME AND VISIT KENJI SUSHI, AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

I came for dinner at Kenji Sushi and ordered Salmon Teriyaki. It was excellent! I usually come for lunch and order the bento box. I found out you get more salmon at dinner time at a slightly higher price. Food quality is always great and consistent. Parking is easy in their lot. It's close to Santana Row on Winchester. Great service and atmosphere. Can't go wrong here. read more
This has become one of my favorite spots solely due to the fact that they have spicy tuna crispy rice. It's delicious and I get it every time I come here. It's crispy on the outside, soft rice on the inside, with flavorful spicy tuna and sauce drizzled on top. I highly recommend trying this! They have a great selection of rolls as well as apps. Rolls are well constructed and the fish to rice ratio is just right. The staff are attentive and overall pretty solid sushi spot. read more

We were looking for something to eat during the Thanksgiving Holiday and were glad to find this place open! They had a wide selection of sushi rolls. The sushi was not bad, but the flavors were a bit too overwhelming for me. I had to eat some pickled ginger to cleanse my palate and reset the taste. It's a bit pricy at around $20 per roll, though the portion was decent. read more
This place is very upscale. Loving the interior design of the place. Lots of seating and friendly service. Now let's talk about the food shall we.... Where can I start! Everything is good. I had to take pics really fast because my party was hungry. Let's just say we devoured all what we ordered. From appetizers to sushi rolls to desserts. Everything is all delicious. Highly recommended and definitely coming back. read more

Your sign to finally try the restaurant that you've always driven by! We've driven past @kenjisushi_sj so many times going to Valley Fair Mall but just never got the chance to try it until now, and wow have we been missing out! With a bar, fresh sushi and sashimi, and even hot plates from the kitchen, this is the place to go, especially after a long day of shopping Service is super nice and the ambiance is super chill and a great place to hang out! read more

Tried a great mix here and loved it. The Nigiri and Sashimi Combo was super fresh with clean cuts and perfectly seasoned rice. You can really taste the quality of the fish. The specialty rolls were fun and flavorful. The Cherry Blossom Roll was light and beautifully balanced, while the Sugar Daddy Roll was rich and satisfying. The Dancing Dragon Roll had bold flavors and generous portions. Even the California Roll was solid and well made. read more

Came in hungry and left very happy. The bento-style set was beautifully presented and packed with variety crispy katsu, perfectly fried tempura, tender sliced pork, fresh salad, rice, and miso soup. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the textures were on point, crunchy where it should be, juicy where it counts. The portions were generous without feeling overwhelming, and I loved getting so many different items in one meal, it felt like a sampler of all the best things on the menu. The miso soup was comforting and balanced, and the sauces paired really well with the fried items. read more
Came here on a Sunday night with a group of 6 people- it was decently busy but we only had to wait 5 mins for a table. Sushi was pretty good! Fish tasted fresh and some rolls were unique. However, at $20 per roll, it's quite pricey. Additionally they try to get you to post a 5 star review in order to get something free, which feels wrong to me, so I don't love that. Cute and casual ambiance inside. Parking lot is small but usually has spots! read more

Amazing sake nigiri. The salmon on top of the rice worked together beautifully in one cohesive bite, whereas sake nigiri at other establishments oftentimes just tastes simply like two separate components at the same time. The service was quick and attentive later in the evening. The server took time to explain the dish names to my friends and accommodated many questions. The interior was comfortable. read more

Sushi isn't too bad! I'm very picky with how fresh seafood is, and the fish could get by. Some of the salmon wasn't the freshest, but we played it safe by getting the specialty/baked rolls. The flavors were nicely paired. I liked the soft shell crab roll. My mom ordered tofu bulgogi and it was not good. There was no bulgogi marinade flavor and it was cooked more as a Chinese stirfry dish. The tofu also looked and tasted slimey. I would stick to just sushi here. Service was very fast and speedy. The sushi came out all at once! There hours are also long which is appreciated. The inside is decorated nicely as well. read more
I've been coming here for the past 10 years since I'm local to this area, and while the quality of the food never disappoints, my only drawback is how much they have shrunk the portions of their rolls and their appetizers, especially their edamame, while increasing the prices. It's very unfortunate that the roles now look a lot smaller but I still come for the dragon roll and the baked Langoustine roll, and get their spicy garlic edamame. Their fish is very fresh, which I definitely appreciate, and while the interior decor is still the same as it has been since I first came here, it's always kept clean and the food is where it's at! read more
