What people say about KEN

KEN can be said to resemble a chef’s counter dinner more so than any other sushi restaurant. Not only is the quality of fish used and the perfectly seasoned sushi praised but also the interactions between the chef and guests and the pace at which the course goes are noted. There are very few seats in this place, making for an intimate and personal experience, but there is a downside to this since reservations can only be made on rare occasions due to the commitment that comes with this experience.

Restaurant overview

About KEN

This is a small restaurant offering an omakase experience in San Francisco specializing in Edomae-style sushi through a multi-course menu. It comprises otsumami, sashimi, nigiri, one steamed dish, one hand roll, rice, soup, and dessert and not sushi as an Γ  la carte order.

With the counter service style, one gets the chance to watch the preparations and get the stories behind the fish, aging, and seasoning process. This way, the restaurant becomes more attractive to those seeking an intimate sushi omakase in San Francisco rather than a lavish dining area.

The menu here is fixed, subject to change based on the availability. The items listed hereunder show the format of the menu for the current omakase, but the actual fishes may vary.
