Update: Ever since Kenji the original owners sold out, 7 years ago this place has been going down hill. We keep retrying this place once in a blue moon and it continues to fail us. Food quality isn't the same. Well tonight we gave it one last try and this time we are done. This place needs help. Found a coiled up thin metal in the soup. Pinched our tongue and tasted metal then spit it out. This is a real review and this really happened. BEWARE folks. This breaks our heart to hit submit but this could have been BAD. read more

Kenji Sushi - Chinese Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

Recently moved in the area about 2 years ago, everytime I come my food is great, and customer service straight to the point. Prices are fair. Wish it was alittle bigger inside but I'm pleased every trip. read more

Horrible service. made me wait over 20 minutes in person to place an order and there was no one else but me. Not to mention these guys can't even speak any english so the language barrier was insane read more

The food is good but the online menu is wrong. I ordered food that was $7.95 on the website, got there and they charged me $15 instead, claiming that the prices on their website aren't valid and only the paper menu is. read more

Filthy beyond belief. This place hasn't been cleaned since the Civil War. I'm sure there are better cleaner choices out there.

Honestly disgusted. Found little worms in every piece of myshrimp shumai. Happy that I looked before eating them. Will never order from here again. read more

AVOID: TLDR : stomach bug - worms. Ordered delivery via Ubereats. Even though the reviews weren't great, in light of the struggling businesses w/ covid, I want to give it a shot. I ordered a sushi/sashimi for two + a general tsos chicken. The chicken seemed fine and tasted alright but the sushi definitely felt off. The tuna was pretty brown in color and the sushi/sashimi just seemed a bit "off"? 3 quarters into the meal I even noticed a long white strand out of one of the tuna sashimis (honestly not sure if that's normal) but at that point I lost my appetite. Fastforward 3 days later and my wife and I have had a stomach bug for several days and can't go 1 hr without making a trip to the bathroom. I normally don't downvote places but it really seems as if this establishment doesn't serve fresh ingredients which is something vital to sushi, especially if it can cause sickness. I do not recommend ordering here if you care about your health. Never reordering from this place. read more

Not sure as to why there are so many bad reviews when I have had nothing but great experiences with Kenji Sushi. Their sushi is always fresh, and their prices are very inexpensive compared to most sushi places. Yes people the dining area is very small, take it to go and get over it! lol besides the food being great, the service is also superb. I get delivery all the time and it always comes before or on time so that's also great!!! I usually stick to the rolls (spicy tuna, California, cucumber avocado etc.) I've have to try more of the food options to judge that as well!! read more

Kenji Sushi - Spicy tuna and cucumber avocado roll - Chinese Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

When you order food online, many times, there are missing items which is annoying. Otherwise the food is delicious.

THEY TRIED TO KILL ME !! I specifically advised the order taker that, i was severely allergic to seafood . Unfortunately my meal was cross contaminated with some sort of seafood because shortly after eating my egg roll ( That was free & and I thought was a pork eggroll) I experienced an severe allergic reaction. I felt my throat close up and an epi pen had to be used on me. read more

I am extremely impressed with Kenji after my first order. I ordered the Sashimi starter, and the Naruto, Crazy Tuna, and Valentine Rolls. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I received my delivery on time and with no fuss. I will definitely be ordering from Kenji again. read more

I visited Kenji the first week he opened and i was not disappointed. The sushi i had was clean, fresh, and very very tasty. Kenji is a great sushi chef and told me a little about his past, working at a hotel kitchen, and the process of making sushi. He made me feel right at home in his small establishment. One day i decided to try one of his special rolls. Sure Kenji can can make you your California rolls, Alaska rolls, and Boston rolls, but what really differentiates sushi places are their special rolls. I had then, and what is to this day my favorite sushi roll, his Freedom Roll. This delight is crab salad and banana tempura inside an inside out roll with shrimp and avocado on top. What an absolute pleasure to eat this little piece of heaven. If you go treat yourself to the Freedom Roll. Since his opening i was sad as every time i returned it seemed like the sushi slowly deteriorated in quality. I did not return for about a year. I'm reviewing kenji now though since i went back just two days ago. I am happy to report that the quality has returned to Kenji Sushi and that i plan on returning again very soon. It should be noted that the place is extremely small. You'll find 3 to 4 chairs at the sushi bar, 2 tables for 2, and zero bathrooms. They can afford to keep their prices low, by comparison, because of their small size. Enjoy =) read more

Ordered the happy family and also eggrolls and sesame chicken. The chicken was very stringy and really low quality on the beef and the shrimp and the chicken and the other. Will not order again. Had to throw out everything read more

Just tried it for the first time last night. My wife and I ordered a bunch of rolls and the negamaki box. I was just recently informed that the Tofu staff opened this place. Having been a fan of Tofu, I was a little disappointed in Kenji, not so much in the quality of the food, but rather the price. You're paying "dine in" prices for "take out". Food was very similar to Tofu......so I'd rate that high. For value though.......in my opinion, it deserves a lower rating. If you live in the area it's worth a try, but I wouldn't want to travel too far for take out sushi. read more

Kenji a pocket sized Chinese/Japanese combo restaurant located right on sunrise highway. The chances of you getting a table on the inside are slim to none, especially if school is in session. Surprisingly, all the high school kids in the area flock to this place like flies to piece of meat left in the sun. Once you get past the angry gate keeper lady who runs the show here (on the phone or in person), you're golden. Don't worry, she'll warm up to you after you visit a few times and spend your Jacksons (that's a $20 bill, for those who haven't looked in their wallets lately) inside. One word comes to mind when describing Kenji's sushi. Solid, yup solid. Not physically of course (that could be disastrous) but their execution is fantastic. I suspect they have a pretty fair turnover doing the week so the fish is always fresh. I've eaten here plenty of times and not once have I had a completely foul piece or fish or smelt anything funky. I enjoy all the standards at Kenji. Not surprisingly, my favorite rolls are the simple ones off the lunch menu: crunchy spicy tuna, eel avocado, crunchy spicy yellowtail, AAC roll and the philly. As for the non-sushi specific dishes, the salmon teriyaki was up to par while the gen tso's chicken was weak and contained poor quality, fatty meat. I was told such a thing was a fluke but I'll likely just stick to the fish next time. Kenji also offers 14+ options on their menu that are solely vegi and/or tofu. I've yet to try anything from that specific section but I do appreciate having the option available when I get tired of eating chicken constantly. Service is a little cheap.. extra eel sauce and other such things will have you opening your wallet back up and possibly getting the stink eye. On a positive note, your orders are often put together promptly and correctly and the fish is fresh. For a quick takeout place, Kenji is spot on. read more

Best place for japanese food! They taste amazing! The food is amazing the service is amazing. I just feel bad for the owner of all of the customers that give her bullshit but anyways out of all of.the Chinese places this one is my most favorite! I would cry if this place went out of business. I would totally bring my friends here! read more

I am a sushi snob, and when this place first opened I enjoyed it, they had these crazy tuna and salmon rolls that were delicious, and all others were great. That was then, this is now. I stopped in alone last night on the way to a friends house. I remember it being good. I got seaweed salad (nothing to review there you can get this stuff at BJ's) a spicy salmon roll and that crazy tuna roll which has spicy tuna inside, covered in seared pepper tuna, covered in spicy mayo and scallion. As I was sitting waiting, I noticed the guy used SO much rice I actually chuckled to myself, so I asked for less rice, but it was too late. I could not believe how much rice, it reminded me of the Supermarket sushi rolls and I did not like the rice flavor, it just didn't have that hint of goodness. The taste was flat too, all that hype for that peppered tuna roll and I was topping it with the seaweed salad to give it some flavor. I was disappointed, and I won't be back. If you do decide to stop in, its very small so not a dine-in place. They have two tables or so and four sushi bar seats. Also, they serve Chinese and Japanese to which I have never actually found any place that does both effectively so that should have been the Red Flag. read more

I usually order sushi from them and it's always great they haven't disappointed me yet lol. I ordered the crazy salmon roll with brown rice which is my favorite . If you ever need quick lunch delivered to you job in Li this is the place . read more

My brother and I order here all the time. The sushi is super good and I'm obsessed with their gyoza. I crave it all the time. Plus, whenever I order they have our order together super quick for pickup. Definitely my favorite sushi spot. read more

Sushi rolls and bento boxes are filling, tasty and fresh. My new local sushi spot. A definite gem!

Excellent place! Sit down or delivery both are wonderful. Sushi is fresh and hot entrees are delicious (better than other Chinese restaurants in the Lynbrook area). I recommend the chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce, sesame chicken (a favorite), gyoza, and shumai. Service is lovely and they are extremely accommodating! read more

Terrible service, I've order a few times and delivery time takes way too long every time. Final straw was this evening I placed an order at 7:30pm that was supposed to arrive by 8:15...it hadn't arrived by 8:55 and when the restaurant was alerted, I was told that its because my home is very far from them which is completely false. I'm under 3 miles from the restaurant and google maps estimated the drive to be 10 mins...go figure. Then they gave me the option to wait about another hour for the food as if it wasn't already an hour and half since I placed the order and of course they didn't offer any sort of apology or compensation for the time wasted. This place is a complete joke and I will never order from here even if it was the last place on earth that has food...despicable service. read more

Love this place!! Hibachi delivery or to go is very convenient! The hibachi chef is very good.

Great find. Stop in for quality food at reasonable pricing. The staff are welcoming and embraced me as a first time customer. Sushi was fresh and light. I will return soon. Thank you read more

I went there for 1st time as a recommendation of a friend, what a disappointment, ordered 2 rolls, philly roll and salmon and avocado, they were small and barely any rice or filling, the cut the roll the 1st pieces of each.. I wasnt enable to eat it with the chopstick.. pricey for 6 pieces $4.95 and were so small omg I was so hungry after that.,, those portions were like for kids... I won't go there again... they charged me extra $.50 for a little container of spicy mayo, I have so much after I was done eating the rolls... because they were so littleI do not recommend this place if you're hungry hungry, rolls weren't that tasty.... I ate them because that was my lunch and I was starved , I will go back to Edo sushi, I didn't go there yesterday because they're close on Monday read more

Not good. I chose this restaurant for takeout because they do Japanese and Chinese cuisine. Maybe they should stick to one and do it better. Spicy crunchy tuna roll wasn't spicy or crunchy, very bland. Didn't seem fresh. Shrimp fried rice was clumpy, flavorless. Loaded with shrimp - the only problem is the shrimp was mushy, fishy and dirty. Couldn't bring myself to finish it. Overall quality and freshness is lacking. Won't order from here again. read more

Sushi is fresh and delicious. They also have a wide range to choose from. I'll be back!

I will NEVER order from Kenji Sushi again! The delivery also took 1.5 hrs and when I called in to check on the status of the order, the lady on the phone said that the delivery guy was on his way and hung up immediately. Once the order finally arrived, I opened the bag to find no soy sauce or chop sticks. It was also some of the worst sushi I've ever had - it tasted fishy and I found bones in my spicy yellowtail roll. I had a few bites and had to throw the rest out. read more

I ordered on GrudHub through yelp for pick up. Restaurant is small with a sushi bar taking up most of restaurant. Not many seats. Easy and seamless order. They followed my exact instructions. Food was very delicious and fresh. I ordered scallion pancakes, chicken in black bean sauce, shrimp in garlic sauce, shrimp tempura roll, and fried soft shell crab. Soft shell crab is rare as it is a seasonal item and I loved the fact this was on the menu. All the side sauces were great as well. Definitely recommend for take out. read more

Very small and quaint hidden gem I ordered the salmon bento box...and it was huge. Larger than the average bento boxes. Very tasty and the salmon was super fresh, lots of flavor. The deep fried soft shell crabs were so yummy, I got two orders As for the sushi, it's fresh and yummy...prepared right in front of you. Staff very friendly..,the place was too small to sit comfortably and it so I opted to take out. But it's a must try....can't wait to try more read more

Best sushi in the area. Their house roll is the best rice-less sushi around wrapped in soy paper rather than the usual cucumber. It is down right Delicious. Their food is always fresh and high quality. While I have not had any, they also sell chinese food. read more

The best as always .. I can always count on my order to be perfect and just as I ask ;)) not to mention so good

I order from here it took an hour to deliver and the. I get my stuff didn't receive soy sauce chopsticks. Then when the delivery guy finally arrived and 1 1/2 hr later he expects a tip and bags on my door. I'm a person who always give a tip but sitting her for over an hr for Chinese food is ridiculous. read more

Woa! Ordered second time from Kenji. Best ceviche ever, scallops with broccoli - yamm, Seafood Delight is delicious. Seafood soup - little too oily to me. Seaweed salad - on point. Delivery time - exactly as seamless texted. The best delivery option for la late pescaterian + veggies dinner with Netflix on your couch in the area. read more

Horrible food. Definitely not cooked right. Got horribly sick and had food poisoning. Ended up in the hospital for more than a week. Thought the food tasted weird so I stopped eating it. 4 am in the morning the next day I was vomitting uncontrollably and my fiance called and ambulance. I lost an excessive amount of fluids and blood as well from my throat being torn from throwing up profusely. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! read more
