    Chicken Teriyaki bowl
    Ailin J.

    For a easy yummy teriyaki chicken bowl on Cwru campus made quickly and has large portions, Kenko is for you. I do feel that their flavoring has decreased a little and that could be improved but also we can request more sauce ourselves so that's not a problem.

    The sushi burrito is pretty cool, and highly customizable. They also sell the traditional futomaki rolls, but they're just OK. Kung Fu Tea's counter for ordering is just adjacent to Kenko if you want some bubble tea with your sushi. The parking is very good, so be prepared to park somewhere else and walk to Kenko. I ordered a sushi burrito, and one order of their rolls. The sushi burrito was huge, and the person making it for me was generous with the toppings as opposed to just giving me a bunch of rice. The sushi paired very nicely with the wintermelon milk green tea I usually get from Kung Fu Tea. I would recommend this place if you're a fan of poke bowls. The burritos are pretty much a poke bowl that is compacted to look like a extra large roll of sushi.

    They were out of boba for at least half an hour more today at 315! Homemade sushi was great at 8 pieces for ~$9. Large ginger milk was about $6. Long lines almost all the time I'm in here which move at moderate speed. No dining in. No cash accepted currently.

    My daughter loves this place!

    My daughter turned me on to sushi and the first time she came to visit me at work in University Circle, I brought her to Kenko. Now it's the only reason she comes to visit me at work. For $8 I get a flavorful, healthy meal that is also filling. I enjoy making my own sushi by picking my own ingredients that includes one protein, two veggies, a sauce and a topping. This most recent trip I chose spicy tuna, cucumber, and avocado topped with wasabi mayo and tempura crumbs. I also was given a small container with wasabi and fresh ginger, not the soggy, limp ginger from a store bought jar. The ginger was super spicy and the best I ever had! My daughter went vegetarian, opting for tofu as her protein, rolled with cucumber and avocado, topped with yum yum sauce and fried onions. She also got bubble tea and tried something different each time we're there. Now, I know it must seem really silly, but one of my favorite things there are their chopsticks. They're mass produced and are the split apart variety, but they're very thick and unlike any other kind I've used. I found them easy to handle, making eating a little less frustrating for this midwestern klutz. There are some great menu options, including poke bowls ($11) and soups (miso and onion for example, at $1.95). I really enjoy coming here, especially seeing how happy it makes my daughter!

    This place is so unique and so delicious. Our hotel was walking distance, when we decided to stop on in. It's a BYO sushi / teriyaki bowl / poke place!! The ingredients go on and on.. yet all so fresh. You walk in, and it's like a core-life eatery, or chipotle per say. We decided to order on the kiosk. I got the teriyaki shrimp bowl with extra veggies. My fiancé got the chicken teriyaki bowl with extra mushrooms. The portion sizes were huge! We both got the bowls with udon noodles (plus!!!!!!!) they were so good. I loved that you could choose what kind of rice / noodle. We got extra yum yum sauce, too. Food was piping hot. We both loved it had broth on the bottom... which we slurped right up lol. Also can't forget all of the bubble tea flavors and milk tea and milk slushees. I got a pomelo tea, which was kind of like grapefruit. Good amount of sweetness. Don't skip out on this place. Staff also very friendly.

    Came here to make some copies. They don't even have a Xerox. False advertising.
    Fox E.

    Came here to make some photocopies. They don't even do that. So why are they called Kinko's? False advertising. One of the most popular sushi places in Eastern Cleveland. Definitely Americanized to a large degree, but not as shockingly overpriced as a lot of sushi places. I've had it as take out as part of a large group at a little get together a little while back, and it was good. We went here to have a sit down lunch a couple of months ago - since she is obsessed with sushi and I'm, well, tolerant of it at best - and there were no tables to sit at! The line was literally out the door, not just for sushi, but for the bubble tea at KFT (which Kenko shares the building with) that I wanted to get for us to share. She'd never tried KFT before. With lines this long, the sushi must be even better than I remember. We didn't stay, and instead I took her for her first Hot Sauce Williams experience... five stars! Nevertheless, this is a very solid sushi spot, and try the Lemon Black Tea with Tapioca. This review was not as Kenky as my reviews usually are.

    This place is conveniently connected to Kung Fu Tea. Boba and sushi always pair well together, so why not? I think their rolls are on the smaller end and a bit pricey when you consider the portions. I stick with their sushi burritos and poke bowls which are a much better deal. Their sushi burritos and poke bowls are good in that there are plenty if toppings to choose from. I like that they have mango and asparagus as an option (I don't usually see places offer them). Overall, this place is for you if you're looking to get a quick and easy meal.

    It's okay if I want to have sushi but don't want to go too far from the school. The food is okay. I wouldn't recommend Teriyaki, though.

    I loved it. Fresh and made to order. I like the soy wrap. Get the Ohio roll. Go every week. A little pricey for eat and go.

    Great bubble tea but sushi was really disappointing. The rolls were tasteless and there was way too much sauce. I would not go back!

    3 stars for the sushi, 5 for the teriyaki and bubble tea. If you do come for the teriyaki make sure to ask for the yum yum sauce.

    Good concept, bad execution. Bland rice, small portions for the price. Doesn't feel authentic. However, the bubble tea is great.

    Everything is really nice! I walked in and was blown away by the transition from (dang near)…read morehistorical Corky & Lenny's deli diner to this pretty, minimalist restaurant! Wowza is all I can say. The colors are calming, the seating is all semi private and with a wonderful surprise and peculiarity, though you are nestled together in "elegant diner-style booths", yet you cannot hear any other tables' conversation. Very nice. Service is swift and helpful. We had young Leo and he most attentive, regardless of our very slow ordering was... it is a lot to take in... they have a full menu with a la carte, an All You Can Eat menu, a hot pot menu and a drink menu. So many options that your 1st visit could be overwhelming. Everything we ordered was fresh tasting, spot on and presented nicely! I started w/app Shrimp tempura, fresh salad (horrible dressing... they called it sesame, nope. It was yum yum sauce), 2 Salmon & 1 Negiri, the Infinity roll, the Philadelphia roll and ate every bite. Heck, the thought of paying a serious penalty for not eating what you ordered by paying extra is a means to your mission. Eat STRATEGICALLY. I wouldn't waste my stomach comfort on rice, pasta, beverages, etc. Enjoy your proteins and fresh fish & seafood! Oh, one huge disappointment...no alcohol at all! Not even plum wine, beer or sake!!!!! Sorry, limited pics, I fotgot!

    My boyfriend and I ordered the AYCE sushi ($19.99 lunch). It was still great, and for the price, I…read morewouldn't expect much more. I do wish there was a better fish-to-rice ratio, but it's understandable given the value. There are few things I wish they could make improvements on. My sister ordered hotpot with sichuan spicy broth base and that did not meet her expectation. It was too oily, which made it less enjoyable. It was like half oil and half broth. I also found the paper ordering system a bit inconvenient, and using tablets like other restaurants might make the process more efficient.
