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

Tasting menu only. The service and ambient of the restaurant are satisfactory. Our server is very nice but with heavy accent. Half of the time, we have to ask for clarification after she explained the dish to us. It is a good Japanese menu but not the best I have ever had. However, the price of the menu is quite steep, it is a Napa price. The high price tag due to the tourists is just turning the locals off. I can easily find many great Japanese restaurants in San Francisco which is half of the price.

Kenzo is one of our all time favorites. The food is so incredible, both in taste and presentation. It literally takes you on a journey through Japan, and the taste and artistry are hard to describe. And, as good as the food is, the service is perhaps even better, which is hard to imagine. The staff is so warm and welcoming and there is not a hint of pretentiousness. I can’t recommend this place enough. Every time, it’s an amazing experience!
