We highly recommend this restaurant. It was our first time trying Japanese cuisine in a long time, and we were not disappointed. The variety of choices for each course was extensive, and each one was pleasantly surprising in terms of taste, contrast, and texture. Even though we were expecting the Wagyu beef course to be exceptional, the eight other courses easily matched its level of excellence.

Prior to arrival communication was very poor. I didn't receive replies to my two inquiries before my arrival which resulted in leaving with a bill in excess of $500. A bit higher than I had anticipated. My dining experience was very good however, the environment was noisier than expected and the female server who often waited on me was difficult to hear and understand what she was saying. I sat at the counter which was perfect for a single reservation. I'm curious if the tables in the other rooms provided a quieter experience. I'd recommend Kenzo with detailed information so individuals wouldn't be surprised or disappointed.

This is our first time dining in Kenzo. There are two chef counters with one near the entrance and another in the back. The separation creates privacy but lack of sense of shared dining experience that kind of stifling the atmosphere. The course quickly jumps into heavy flavor in the second dish and doesn’t come down until dessert. It’s too one-noted and lack of rhythm. The cooked fish dishes (#3 & #5) are overdone. All the dishes have way too much sauce which don’t enhance or compliment the meat/fish itself. The bright spot is the dessert. Service is good but our server needs tone down the chatting and be more attentive. All in all, the value doesn’t really live up with the cost

Amazing experience during their 8th year anniversary celebration. We even got to meet the wife of the owner who was visiting from Japan. The food was simply excellent. I also love the architecture of the place. We’ll be back for sure
