Kenbey is our new favourite sushi spot! We ordered the monthly special omakase and it was great. The fish portions were generous, the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We loved the laid back atmosphere too. The service was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!

This is a true hidden gem. We have been enjoying the amazing food at Kenbey Sushi for a good 3 years now and it never disappoints. The sushi and sashimi are outstanding, made with high quality and extremely fresh fish, the palette is delicate yet flavorful. Please see the menu photos for the selection offered. I forgot to take pic of the beverage offerings but they are also plentiful – good quality sakes, Japanese beer, teas, etc. I will also need to update with sashimi dishes, as they were devoured before I got to take my phone out.
Kenbey Sushi is located in an unassuming strip mall in Los Feliz, but the food is outstanding, the jazz music works perfectly in the minimalist environment, and the service is great. If you appreciate quality Japanese food, you won’t be disappointed.

Kenbey Sushi is the best sushi bar/restaurant in Los Angeles. Kenji and the entire team never compromise in quality. The style of sushi tends to lean traditional but there are modern aspects to many of the dishes that are added very, very tastefully.
As for nigiri, I highly recommend trying the Toro Collar, Yellowtail, Red Snapper, Sea Perch, and torched Wagyu.
For handrolls, I recommend the Blue Crab and the Toro with Pickled Radish.
If you are interested in some of their appetizers and other dishes, I highly recommend the Ankimo (Monkfish liver – buttery and a little bit sweet, very fresh and seasoned perfectly everytime), the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice (a modern classic), and the Lamb Chops (trust me).
If you love very high quality food, exceptional service, and an overall beautiful dining experience, this has to be at the top of your list.

The best sushi we’ve had since visiting Tokyo! Each bite is so fresh and melts in your mouth. The rice is just the right amount of savory. Even the ginger is great! Don’t skip the scallops, definitely may favorite bite that I save for last.

Kenbey Sushi is super authentic! The taste and service really feel like Japan.
If you want real sushi—not the fake American-style stuff—this is the spot!

Delicious, staff were so kind. We got seated immediately without a reservation. Quality is as great as some other restaurants that usually have a long wait; will definitely be back to try the other appetizers & specials!

Stunning. What a gem. Every bite was outstanding. The specials change regularly and are always fresh and creative. Everything is prepared with skill, dedication and attention to detail, the flavors are subtle and yet also vibrant. And the service is flawless – friendly, attentive and kind. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Easily my favorite sushi place in all of Los Angeles. Kenji, Aki, Keiko, and the rest of the staff always make me feel at home. I frequent their exquisite lunch menu at least once a week. The dinner is divine. As someone who frequents Japan often, this is as close as it gets to dining in a true Japanese sushi spot. 5/5 forever.
