Really impressed by this place. Some of the best sushi I’ve had in the DMV area. Reminded me of Rakuya in Dupont Circle. Very fresh, high quality fish including some special options from Japan (chu toro was great). Lunch menu is super reasonable with bento boxes, rolls, and other tasty dishes. Service was quick and friendly. Clearly marked gluten free options and tamari available.

Very impressive quality ingredients, prepared by very clearly skilled sushi chefs. The extensive daily menu highlights their freshest ingredients.

I was excited to try this Japanese restaurant after seeing its rave reviews, but I have to admit, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The high expectations might have played a part in my 3-star rating. I tried two of their specialty rolls, and while they were decent, they didn’t justify the price. The most disappointing dish was the shrimp tempura ramen; the shrimp were really small and the tempura batter was thick and soggy instead of light and crunchy.

Good atmosphere and accommodating service. The hot tea was very nice.
Had 3 special rolls, all with delicious and distinct flavor profiles.
Black Magic had a chewy outer texture and soft inside. The medium intensity flavors let it pair nicely with any of soy, ginger, or wasabi.
J Pop had a really nice sear on the fish, keeping the fatty flavor intact while adding a bit of char. Inside cream was not too heavy and was heavily complemented by the pickled jalapenos. Tempura was nice and light if a little bouncy.
Fatty Tuna had a very silky texture while being creamy and delicate. The little bit of onion is really nice on this one.

I was impressed with this suburban Gaithersburg sushi restaurant. The menu is inventive and they execute well on it. The truffle oil in the Black Magic roll was melded well into the flavor. The beet salad was a nice version of one of my favorite vegetables. Service was prompt and attentive. The manager stopped by to check on us as well.

Very fresh sushi with creative maki selections and other great appetizers and drinks!

There was no wait to be seated for our party of 4 during a weeknight evening. We got a list of monthly specials and tried some of their drinks and appetizers!

I highly recommend the duroc pork belly bun (comes in an order of 1) and their karaage, which comes with shaved fish flakes on top as appetizers! Many for their specialty rolls (maki) also included eel in interesting combinations like with potato or plantain, so I really enjoyed trying those out (Kitchen Sink or Donkey Kong maki). We also tried out their seasonal special croissant pudding with matcha and blueberry.

I happily enjoyed all the food we ordered and I look forward to going track to Kenaki again in the near future!

Dining at this exceptional restaurant is a consistently rewarding experience that never fails to impress. From the moment you walk in, the warm and attentive staff create an atmosphere that makes each visit feel genuinely special. The sushi is a true highlight, always fresh and artfully presented with remarkable attention to detail.

Among the many offerings, the Black Magic Roll stands out as a true masterpiece and has become one of my all-time favorite dishes. It exemplifies the kitchen’s creativity and commitment to quality.

Located conveniently in the heart of Kentlands, the restaurant also benefits from generous parking availability, making it an easy choice for a relaxed and enjoyable outing. Whether you are a dedicated sushi lover or simply looking for a great meal, this place deserves a spot at the top of your list.

The food was fantastic and I’ve been there twice; both times were good. Green monster sushi was really good it has avocado and shrimp delicious and flavorful. Crispy spicy tuna was also pretty good but def not the best I’ve had. California roll is also very very good one of the best I’ve had. The pork bun was sooo good and I normally don’t eat pork but had to try it. 6 rolls and one appetizer came out to 89 dollars without tip.

My god is this place good. KENAKI uses high quality fish with modern takes, so you get the quality of a high end sushi restaurant with unique flairs. What drew me to this place was that they serve bluefin tuna (not that cheap hot pink looking tuna) — we got otoro and chutoro. Immediately just melts away in your mouth. The quality of their fish is just next level. I barely had any room to finish my tekka bowl too because I was so excited to eat everything.

Hamachi crudo was a great appetizer — grapefruit was slightly sweet and refreshing. Hamachi quality was exceptional.

Bluefin tuna was worth every dollar. There are so many varieties to choose from and I can’t wait to go back and get the rest of the bluefin menu.

Maki were excellent. And tekka don used chili crisp which was a nice touch. Desserts were so decadent.

Kenaki Sushi Counter offers one of the more authentic Japanese dining experiences that the Gaithersburg area has to offer. The Dinner Menu features small Japanese plates, Entrees, and of course Sushi. Call me basic if you want; I typically stick to sushi.

All menu items are anchored in tradition but revised with a fresh modern twist. The modifications can be subtle; the results are relentlessly delicious. I appreciate the name of the sushi rolls as well, very creative and makes it feel fun.

Keep in mind they only offer Japanese liquors. If you’re hip to Japanese whiskey and Saki then you know this is a plus, not a minus. Don’t even try to come here for a Tito’s martini though. It’s not happening!

Very cool interior. I loved the printed wallpaper. Seating is somewhat congested, but not an imposition to a good experience. Staff is always warm and inviting; Service is Knowledgeable and accommodating. I noticed 2PAC and some other 90s hip-hop music playing in the background that was awesome.

The ambiance is very casual and family-friendly.
