    Review #1,081 Posted on 7.8.26 We came here for late lunch on Thursday the 2nd. What I like about Ken's is they stay open during the early afternoon time slot, so for those of us not on structured work lunch time slots, we can stop in here for a bite to eat during the post "normal" lunch times. The customer service is really good here too, quick & friendly staff. The menu is deep, tons of options. Food is good, my sushi roll had a tad of zing, mango, tuna, deep fried shrimp tempura too. They give you edamame too when you first come in, a nice touch where other spots charge you if you ask for it. Highly recommend this place.

    It's been awhile since i had a chance to come in. Super Lion King - 4 * Spicy Lover - 5 * Mix Tempura - 5* Everything was still as good as ever except no free fries anymore. Cheesecake was hard from being in an ice cold storage. Free scoop of ice cream was the sweetest. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was no air where we were sitting unfortunately. I was sweating which is not ideal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is always very nice and attentive.

    Value proposition here. Sushi is tad above average; the tempura is pretty good; saba fish is tasty and not too moist or too dry... all comes in a lunch bento box with many selections of items. Avoid Calamari... too chewy for me. Free green beans appetizer & ice cream dessert...yay! It's too busy for the limited staffs to serve a semi-full room. But they are friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seat yourself when you arrive. Pretty casual atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great place for value bentos.

    I have gotten takeout from here on a couple of times ! They have reasonably priced sushi rolls and tons of vegan options! And that was soo great. The taste is always good , I tried a few of the rolls Big daddy, Mango on fire, Saishoku roll and L&V roll. The online ordering system is very simple and sends a notification that the order is accepted. The rolls hit the right notes in terms of sweet and spicy. I want to explore more of their vegan options - so definetly will be back ! For Takeaway containers, one small feedback the rolls are right against the wasabi, which gets on to some of the pieces , which may be higher than the amount I am looking for - makes it hard to takeoff - It could help if the wasabi was in a smaller quantity or in a packet or a small piece of butter paper.

    Bento Box + Chirashi Don

    Stopped by here for a quick weekday lunch and the food was so good & such a great price! We ordered a lunch bento box w/ teriyaki beef & tempura and a chirashi bowl. They also gave us free edamame! The teriyaki beef was tender and had the perfect amount of sauce and the tempura was light and crispy. The chirashi bowl had extremely thick cuts of fish & was a great selection! It tasted extremely fresh as well. The portion sizes here are huge, we barely finished half of our meal! At the end, they gave us free green tea ice cream! Great & quick meal, I'll definitely be back

    Portions are huge!!!

    Very, very good! I'm not a sushi lover, so I can only speak for everything else. Everything was outstanding! Definitely get the teriyaki sauce and the Katsu sauce with your meal. The lunch prices are awesome too! Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If it's too warm towards the back have them flip on the A/C.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I like getting their lunch bento box. For the price and amount it's a deal. I typically get their chicken katsu or pork katsu with mix tempura and sashimi. Their sashimi is a mix experience. I've had it where they give a plump size pieces and others are smaller. Is the quality great, no, but you get what you pay for. Sushi roll is okay. I would say it's a good lunch spot for the amount of food you get. Service was good and attentive.

    I liked their Sushi ken Bento Lunch Box 3 item Spicy Tuna hand roll. They also provided complimentary ice-cream. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great and service was excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not too expensive. Previously, I tried ramen which was also tasty. So satisfying.

    Sushi combo with avocado roll
    Marta S.

    We randomly walked into this place , hungry, and it was a very solid choice after all. I wish I took more pictures but we ate every bite as the food was coming out. The fish was fresh, my only complaint is that the fish portions were not very generous. I appreciate them not making up for it with adding more rice. We ordered a few rolls besides the 7 piece sushi special. We had more avocado rolls because they were fantastic, unagi roll, and salmon skin roll. All were very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were not a lot of people when we went. Service was kind and fast. It's a fairly quiet place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. i will be returning here!

    Located in a shopping plaza, parking is a bit tight during the holidays. it is located right next to Ike's. .on yelp it says you can make a reservation, but when we came, we were seated right away. when sat down, they served us some fries and edamame. which were good and delicious. their menu had plenty of options to choose from and was a big portion in size as well. the bento box looked really good! would i come again? yes, but i wish they had some eel options on their menu

    Aburi salmon belly
    Denise L.

    Came on a Saturday afternoon and pleasantly surprised by their extensive menu. Also really appreciate that lunch bentos are also available on weekends. They start you off with a small bowl of french fries with ketchup and edamame beans? The fries were cold, but nice they offer you a little appetizer. We all went with bentos and I chose the saba shioyaki, CA roll, and sashimi. It also comes with rice, miso soup and salad. The prices here are incredibly reasonable for the amount of food you get. We also got an order of their seared salmon belly. The food came out pretty quickly as it wasn't busy at that time. My saba unfortunately had a ton of bones, so I was trying to pick through the fish as best as possible. The salmon sashimi was okay, but was very surprised how fresh and tasty the tuna was. The california roll had an off putting smell to me. The salmon belly pieces were very large but I have had better. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience for the price.

    I am pleasantly surprised. My husband and I have been struggling to find a go to sushi restaurant since we moved and a quick Yelp search led us to Sushi Ken. We were familiar with the area and Sushi Ken seemed to always have a decent amount of people inside so we were excited. First off, they give you edamame and French fries right off the bat and that's odd, but it's also welcomed. We tried different rolls, their udon, and their omakase and all things tasted really good. The presentation of the items was also pleasing. Their staff was attentive and service was quick. At the end of your meals, they also give you a free scoop of ice cream so that was a nice surprise.

For brunch, everything we ordered was excellent. The standout was the seared scallops uni, rich, delicate, and easily my favorite dish of the meal. The kathi style steak n egg, sashimi platter, 24 short rib, and Japanese wagyu tataki were all beautifully prepared and full of flavor. On the drinks side, the smoky hibiscus and yakultza were both refreshing and well balanced. They also offer omakase for dinner, and it's genuinely some of the best in the Bay. I don't usually repeat omakase spots, but Soho's was good enough to bring me back a second time! the quality and care behind each course really stands out. Whether you come for brunch or dinner, Soho delivers every time. Highly recommend for a date, a celebration, or just treating yourself.

The presentation is beautiful and the dishes looked delicious. But I was not a fan of how some of the dishes tasted. Some of the fish I had honestly tasted fishy/old. I know that sounds crazy to say, because I'm eating raw fish... but I've had tastings which I felt were higher quality and better tasting for a lower price than what SOHO offers. Also, it took quite some time for all of the items to come out, and I think I was there for over 1.5 hours. I wasn't expecting that. And then the chairs were not too comfortable either, since they didn't have full back support. It was a cool experience overall but I personally wouldn't return for the tasting.

As soon as you walk in, you're surrounded by the pleasant aroma of smoke and grilled meats cooking over the open grill. The interior is thoughtfully decorated, with street art covering the walls that makes the place feel like you've been transported somewhere far from where you actually are--especially considering it's located in a simple shopping center in Fremont. It actually reminded me of eating skewers in Asakusa, which is a nice feeling to get from a local spot. It's a fun place to grab some drinks, order a bunch of skewers, and just enjoy the atmosphere. Servers are kind and welcoming. It can get a bit pricey if you lose track of how many skewers you've ordered. They're tasty and easy to keep ordering, though, so it's a great place to splurge a little and treat yourself. Just not an everyday kind of place, at least not for me.

The presentation was cool and definitely eye-catching, but the flavor didn't quite live up to the hype. I was expecting more given how dramatic it looked. Overall, it was a really good experience. One thing that stood out was that by around 8 PM, the restaurant had completely cleared out, which felt a little unusual. Also, I remember they used to serve a crunchy appetizer before the meal, but we didn't get that this time. Not sure if they stopped doing that. Still, solid spot and I'd definitely come back, especially for that Mango Crunch Roll.
