    Chirashi Don
    Ryan C.

    Attentive staff and good quality fish! The chirashi came with thick cuts of the fish and it tasted fresh. I think the only thing they can improve is the sushi rice. Once they figure that out, it might be one of the top chirashi bowls I've had. I didn't realize the Romeo Juliet roll was a fried roll, but it was surprisingly not greasy but kept its crunch throughout each bite.

    Came here with the recommendation for the Chirashi Deluxe Don & it did not disappoint! Dinner: *CHIRASHI DELUXE DON x3 *CALIFORNIA ROLL *MISO SOUP *EDAMAME [complimentary] In no way am I that boujee type when it comes to my sushi but I expect my fish to be decent enough for me to not have to pause and second guess my decisions. My nephew and his girl are amazing foodies so while I came here not anticipating much, I really should have given them more credit that I did for picking Sushi Ken. The service may have been kind of spotty but the quality and taste of our sushi was A1. The chirashi bowls were massive in size, the sushi rice tasted great, and the cuts of fish were not only generous but they were also very fresh. No fishiness, funkiness found here. The california roll was good and very balanced with the sweet, savory, and creamy aspect. Miso soup was alright- very basic, doing the job but not exactly anything memorable. 5/5 stars specifically for the chirashi deluxe don. This stuff hits on a whole different level and will leave you needing to unbutton as you exit due to not being able put your chopsticks down. LMAO. Thank you D & A for always having the most delicious places for me to experience.

    This place definitely deserves 5 stars! As soon as we arrived, we were seated right away. We didn't have to wait long to place our order, and they even gave us complimentary edamame to start. Our server provided amazing service--her smile was contagious and really added to the overall experience. When the service is great, the food somehow tastes even better! And without a doubt, the food was delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, and I definitely left satisfied. One of my favorite things about this place is their hours. They close a little later than most sushi restaurants, which is a huge plus for me. A lot of the sushi spots I go to close around 8 PM, but this one stays open until 10 PM, making it a great option for a later dinner. There's also plenty of parking since it's located in a shopping center with lots of great restaurants and stores nearby. Overall, great food, amazing service, convenient hours, and plenty of parking. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I have not been in this building for years and it used to be Miki Bistro, but I believe that rebranded as Sushi Ken. My parents and I used to come here for dinner when I was a teenager, but stopped going there because food quality diminished overtime. Based on my experience here, they are doing well. When I went inside, it was really dark. I like how they had huge fans since it's really hot today. I also like how they decorated the restaurant. If only they're able to do something with the lights, but that doesn't really affect my experience much. Let's talk about the food. I like how I'm given edamame even before I started ordering. Really tasty though and I think it gives a lot of protein. I decided to order Saba Shioyaki and Mix Tempura in a lunch bento since I've been getting chicken teriyaki and California roll whenever I come to Japanese restaurants. Honestly, the portion is really big for a lunch bento, but I guess it's because tempura tends to be bigger in size. Really delicious and I miss having Saba. It reminded me of the old days that I have it. The orange doesn't seem to be quite ready since it's a bit ripe. Just like some Japanese restaurants, they usually serve green tea ice cream after meals are done. However, mines is vanilla ice cream, which is alright with me. Looking forward to come back here to try more foods!

    The Rocket Queen was so yummy! I keep thinking about it. Went back the next day. Staff was pretty busy and restaurant was packed.

    I've been back several times since my original visit. I love their vegan menu! It's probably my favorite vegan sushi spot in the South Bay because they actually invest in making unique and delicious vegan rolls that aren't ridiculously overpriced. Plus, it's not fully vegan so there are plenty of options for non-vegan friends and family. I've tried so many of their vegan options: Big Daddy Roll, Mango Secret Roll, Saishoku Roll Shiitake Meet Avocado Roll, Spicy Tofu Crunch, Spicy Veggie Roll, Spicy Veggie Tofu Roll, Vegan King, Veggie on Fire Roll, and Vegan Jalapeno Bomb app. My favorite rolls I've had are: Shiitake Meet Avocado, Spicy Veggie Tofu Roll, Big Daddy Roll, and Saishoku. I've also had their house made mango iced tea, I like it's not overly sweet. I'm not a fan of the deep-fried rolls, so I think it would be great if they separated them on the vegan menu, just like they do on the non-vegan version. I accidentally got some deep-fried rolls and didn't enjoy them as much as others. I have to say I'm also not a fan of the Veggie on Fire Roll even though it's not fried. The vegan jalapeño bomb appetizer was good, but it was too heavy to eat more than one piece. I have friends that live in the East Bay and Tri-Valley area so it's nice to have an option to meet in the middle that I genuinely enjoy.

    The amount of food in the bento box is a great value. The staff is very busy and the service reflects that. Be prepared for a leisurely lunch and waving down servers as they don't check in with you regularly. The food comes out in decent time.

    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. There was no air where we were sitting unfortunately. I was sweating which is not ideal. 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. Seat yourself when you arrive. Pretty casual atmosphere. Great place for value bentos.

    The wallpaper of this place is so freaking cute. It depicts japanese fish markets. It was really fun to look at. This was a perfect place for a date with easy feeling atmosphere. The only thing that would be better not to have is a huge screen TV, but what can you do. The food was shareable and just so delicious. I would go there again. We were not disappointed with any of the things we got. Maguro nigiri Spicy tuna 49er roll Hamachi Kama Black angels

    Flavorfully delicious and friendly service. Came around 3pm on a Thursday and wasn't busy. Received complimentary ice cream, which was sweet. I will be coming back.

    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.

Since it was my second time here (my first visit left the food tasting way too salty), I was hoping for a better experience. Unfortunately, it was pretty inconsistent all around. We ordered a generous spread for the table: Garlic bread, basket, 2 appetizers, Wings, Noodle soup, Papaya salad, Pad Thai, Pineapple fried rice The Food: It truly felt like a coin toss--about half the dishes were decent, while the other half were completely mid. The Pad Thai was a particular letdown, as the noodles were noticeably overcooked. We also tried the basil lime wings, but they really just tasted like plain salt and pepper wings with a few basil leaves tossed on top as a garnish. To top off the strange pacing, the "must-have" garlic bread basket actually came out dead last instead of as a starter. The service felt a bit awkward. At one point, a staff member came by to check on us while still visibly chewing food in her mouth. Overall, between the uneven food quality, the odd timing, and the service hiccup, it just felt a bit cluttered and disorganized. Given that this was my second strike with the food consistency, I likely won't be rushing back.
