Fabulous presentation. Delicious food. A little on the expensive side and service was just okay but all in all we had a good night and will probably return

This was one of those meals that you don't forget. You stress a little about the price but when you eat it you don't remember it's just that good

My wife and I choose this restaurant for a special meal whilst on holiday in Adelaide and we were not disappointed. The menu was extensive and it was hard to choose from the specials board and main menu list. My wife choose the pork belly - which I should have gone for - I had a slow cooked rib eye... More

My husband, 6 year old daughter and I visited Kenji for a special celebration. The staff were friendly yet professional and treated all 3 of us with equal respect. Although the flavour of sushi that my daughter likes was not on the menu, the staff and chef were more than happy to accommodate her request. The sushi was presented to... More

The service is excellent, pleasant, discreet & professional. Without being rushed there is always someone there when you need them, despite being busy & full.... More

Japan meets Australia - dine in style without having to curl your legs underneath you in the Japanese manner. This is excellent food in a more conventional Australian dining experience. We took honoured Japanese guests here for an important tour ending meal and they loved it. We consider it the best in town for Japanese dining.

Took a long time dear friend there for his birthday and we both foodies and love Japanese food. Everything was brilliant. The menu left us salivating, other people's food whizzed past as we waited for our meal - left us drooling. The service was Asian seamless and efficient. When our food arrived it looked spectacular and the flavours were fresh... More

The restaurant is run by Japanese people, which is increasingly rare but refreshing. The menu is a modern fusion with a new look at traditional Japanese dishes. They also have a daily specials list and flexible entrée or main portions sizes for almost all of the choices. The value is above average for the quality and portion size.

Kenji is brilliant! The menu is quite large and the service team made it easy to choose. The fusion of flavors and textures blew me away! Portion sizes were perfect for big eaters. You must try the shared appies. Fabulous presentation style. Kenjii uses an eclectic mix of shapes, styles and materials to present the dishes and that alone makes... More
