Feeling the urge for some good sushi and a bento box, we headed to the closest Japanese restaurant that wasn't a sushi franchise or exorbitantly expensive joint. Destination: Kenji. The last time I had Kenji was several years ago, and I was impressed with the quality and the quantity of food that I got for my dollars.
I got the special bento box. A generous box filled with perfectly golden crumbed prawn, potato croquette and squidy sort of thing on a stick. Also in the box were fried chicken piece, gyoza, edame beans, salad and rice. A serve of miso soup came with it.
The Lawyer was craving ramen, and chose a chicken teriyaki version. While this was good, I think he had better elsewhere.
We also took the opportunity to have some sushi. These had a nice fish-to-rice ratio.
Verdict
Overall
Kenji is a definite cut above the sushi chains. It offers good, mid-range Japanese at a very reasonable price. Consistency in quality and price is key here. It does a roaring trade for dine-in and takeaway customers - a real favourite among locals.Find it at
