What Mike Dociu doesn't like about Restaurant Kenichi:
Kenichi Restaurant has some definite pros and cons. On the plus side, the prices are very affordable and the portion sizes are massive you 'll get your money 's worth in terms of quantity. However, when it comes to flavor, the food is just average at best. The ramen was decent but lacked that rich, umami punch. The food were fresh but failed to impress. For such huge portions at reasonable prices, I wish the taste de... View all feedback. What Angie likes about Restaurant Kenichi:
A little disappointed that they no longer serve the ghost pepper beef but was able to get some spicy beef which was okay. Korean chicken is one of my favorites with white rice and Mac salad. Still one of my refereed places to eat. View all feedback.

Kenichi's restaurant received mixed reviews from customers. Some found the chicken katsu to be unappetizing and even found hair in their food, leading to a negative experience. The service at the restaurant was also criticized, with the host/hostess being described as rude and unwelcoming. However, others praised the large portion sizes, friendly staff, delicious food, and heartwarming service. Customers particularly enjoyed dishes like tonkatsu and spicy tonkotsu with pork. Overall, Kenichi's seems to offer a variety of Asian fusion dishes at great prices, but may have some inconsistencies in terms of food quality and service.
