Insane gem in Toledo. I do have to say "no, SERIOUSLY" when I talk about this spot to friends and…read moream generally met with (understandable!) skepticism that sushi in the Midwest could be so phenomenal. 6/5 stars. The omakase is a must experience for any foodie and especially for anyone who loves sushi & yakitori! Came here for the first time 4 years ago, and again a few weeks ago. What struck me is that the same head sushi chef was there then and now and that they haven't really changed the menu too much. Yes absolutely there were new and creative twists, but there are tried and true staples which have been mastered. That feels like their vibe overall - friendly, neighborly, confidence in what they have and will keep doing what they're doing, seemingly resisting any pressure to expand or get bigger. It's perfection! The omakase menu has three phases: chef's kitchen, yakitori, sushi (gorgeous nigiri courses finished with the most insane cut roll I've ever had). Everything is delicious. No misses. My favorite phase is the sushi. We STARTED that off with the most melty buttery otoro. I thought that was bold, surely it could only go downhill from there. I was proved wrong bite after bite!! Seriously, imagine a series of nigiri bites that hold their own after the BEST. Of the yakitori, the chicken meatballs were my fave, so juicy never change. Highest quality, well crafted, expertly executed menu. Lowkey I also love that this omakase ends with the most delicious cut roll, and not dessert. As a savory girl through and through, this is perfect. The onlyyyy downside is that all the rich food gives me a bit of a stomachache afterwards :D. 10000% worth it.

Wow... everything was delicious!…read more This place gets very busy. As in, they write your name on the door outside busy. Such a good idea. Thankfully, we arrived before the rush. The restaurant is small, with seating at the bar, around the sushi counter, and a handful of tables. The drinks were good, and the food was excellent quality at reasonable prices. Don't bother looking on their website for a menu like I did. The menu is handwritten daily and changes based on what's fresh and available. If you're not a fan of sushi, don't worry. They have a great selection of Yakitori for those looking for something different. My husband had the Beef Tongue, Pork Belly, and the Kurobuta (Berkshire pork) Sausage. He enjoyed all of them. The sausage was good, but it tasted like a fairly typical sausage and was on the smaller side. I had the Mango Kengo roll, which was very well done. The salmon was incredibly fresh. It was a little spicier than I prefer because of the Togarashi seasoning, which also seems to accompany many of the yakitori dishes. We also ordered the Ika Maruyaki (grilled squid). We both love squid, especially when it's prepared this way, but this dish just wasn't as good as we had hoped. We were both a little underwhelmed. The sushi and sashimi were beautifully sliced, incredibly fresh, and definitely high quality. I tried the Madai for the first time and really enjoyed it. The fluke was excellent, and the salmon was exactly what you'd expect from high quality salmon. I finally tried Uni as well. It was very fresh, but I learned it's just not for me. Overall, I'm very excited to go back and try more of the menu. I do wish the server was friendlier.

This is not a place where you can get one large meal and leave stuffed!! The service was great, our waitress was so knowledgeable and friendly! My favorite was the bacon wrapped baby bell peppers. Was here a few years back and they used to have bacon wrapped shishito peppers which were even better!! I had the chicken katsu - it was just fine. I didnt love the chicken thighs. Friends had udon dish which got great reviews. Gyoza was great and loved by all- overall pretty solid reviews to go around our party of 10 people. Nothing negative to say, just wasn't worth 5 stars to me. Would be back on special occasions if that's where our group ended up but wouldn't seek it out myself!

As a lover of Kengo I had extremely high expectations for this place and I'm sad to say I was…read moreslightly disappointed. There's a difference here between Kengo and Kato where you can tell Kengo was a passion project and Kato was fulfilling an area of opportunity. That being said the food was still well cooked and overall was tasty. The ramen was flavorful but we could tell the noodles weren't fresh or housemade which is definitely fine as they tasted like high quality noodles but for the reputation of Kengo we expected a little more. The salmon dish also was a ton of rice with a tad of salmon The staff was overwhelmed even for this small place and it felt like a revolving door with people trying to come in and out. That being said our server was very nice and was trying to manage as best she could If you're looking for decent ramen this is an option but if you're looking for something exceptional this will disappoint

From the menu I chose to built my own bowl which I enjoyed the most because of all of the flavors and veggies. However a word of warning the sauces can be spicy so I am glad they also added the yogurt base sauce! I also liked the milk tea and finally the nachos which were very different in taste and texture but surprisingly good. My order looked as following: 1× Build Your Bowl + Protein: Wok-Fired Steak (Bowl) + Starch: Fresh Greens (Bowl) + Vegetables & Garnish: Red Cabbage Kimchi Pickles Carrots (Steamed) Kale (Steamed) Crushed Peanuts 1× Purple Taro + Sweetener Options: Light Honey + Dairy Option: Dairy Milk + Garnish: No Garnish + Bubbles: Tapioca Bubbles + Tea Base (Milk Teas): Green Tea (Milk Tea) 1× Bang Bang Nachos + Vegetables & Garnish: Balance Farms Micro Cilantro Red Onion Tomato Chickpeas Seasonal Potatoes All in all I would recommend Balance and eat here again!

Service (B+) Staff needs a bit more training but fairly fast Value (B-) It was around $16 for 6 nigiri pieces and four small pieces of California rolls. Felt sort of ripped off as they were tiny California rolls and the cheap stuff with imitation crab stick. Either reduce the prices to $12.99 or provide a full California. Felt like they nickel and dime you. I like the quality of nigiri but wish it was a better value - I might go again but on the fence as there is not a menu item with what I am going for.
