It's my second time visting Kenjo. Before C left the town, I promised to bring her to the best Japanese sushi bar in TST (so far the best I'm awared of). Early bookings are required unless you don't mind waiting for at least 45 minutes or longer, which a lot of people including us were willing to wait just for the taste of some great authentic Japanese sushi. It took us a while to decide our order. The MENU was simple and straight forward, no fancy food but only basic and traditional food that c
It took us a while to decide our order. The MENU was simple and straight forward, no fancy food but only basic and traditional food that could only be found in a Sushi Bar, which was absolutely great in my point of view.As part of the lunch set, our starters were a nice little cup of steamed egg . It was already appealing to look at, not to mention the actual taste when we came about to try it out. As expected, the steamed egg was perfect. Soft, delicate and smooth. No air bubbles or any faults. The spring onions were some good ingredients to enhance the texture on the whole. Both of us loved it!
Next came the Cold Tofu. Again, great on the visual impact to begin with. The temperature was just cool enough for an immediate bite of the tofu. In particularly I was impressed with the excessive spring onions and katsuobushi. It was rare for one to see such an amount of katsuobushi served on top of the cold tofu..
My Sashimi Set Lunch arrived first before C's. In no way could I emphasis enough the absolute stunning appearance of the dishes were in Kenjo..the way how each particular item was placed on the table, along with the particular style/pattern of the bowls or plates that held the food in the best looking manner. All of which were efforts put forward by the great Sushi Bar chefs (Salute!)! As always, the sashimi served in Kenjo were satisfying and different from the ones you could get out there in sushi chain stores - they were fresh and served in thick pieces - absolutely worthed the price! Don't forget the side dishes as well! The miso soup and preserved radish were great to go along with the main dish too!
C's Assorted Sushi Set Lunch didn't take long to arrive. Though the quantity seemed to serve lesser than mine, the set was done in a fine quality that one could ask for! The sushi were freshly made by the chefs from the Sushi Bar - a 100% gurantee to serve you the most authentic and best sushi possible! A pity that the list of selection for the assorted sushi was limited to one for each type of sushi.
A side point worth of mentioning, sometimes you just had to appreciate the details that Japanese looked into. When they served you soft drinks, they not only cared about the drinks being absolutely chilled to refreshen your throat, but also the presentation that came with it - look closely the "thick ring" provided for the soft drinks to avoid water spilling to the table and the coaster provided. The experiences to Kenjo are always worth-remembering. Their spirit of serving you the finest quality of food (especially sushi), good service and a nice presentation are greatly appreciated. Something that the Japanese culture has brought up and worth learning. Though I must admit that for a restaurant like Kenjo, I only dare to come for lunch once in a while... not too affordable in a student's perspective!
