Outstanding. The meal will go down as one of the best dining experiences of my life. I'm from Victoria and was just visiting and can't wait to go again. It's a great excuse to visit Adelaide.

Fantastic food. Been there twice, had the Barossa Valley pork belly at both occasions and loved it at both occasions. Meat was juicy and tender. Service was attentive, staff was extremely friendly. Best modern japanese I ever had. Decor and ambience was funky yet inviting. Will keep going.

Some of the best food to be found in Adelaide. Consistently original, creative and delicious. A 5 star experience at a fraction of the price: highly recommended

It was a very pleasant experience. The service was great. The food was presented exceptionally well, very creative and tasted lovely. Desert was delicious! The four of us all had different meals and deserts. We were all very pleased.

I have eaten at virtually all Japanese restaurants in and around Adelaide and can save readers a lot of disappointment and expense. In my opinion, far and away the ... Best Sushi/Sashimi - SIMPLY SUSHI - Jetty Rd; Glenelg Best Japanese Hot Meals - KENJI's - Hutt St; Adelaide.

The service is very good. The food is very good. Because it's MODERN Japanese food, you can't go there expecting authentic Japanese cuisine. There's no teriyaki chicken or California rolls. The sushi menu has different combinations from usual. There are a lot of inside out rolls to choose from (instead of seaweed there are seeds and salt and herbs on the outside of the sushi roll). It's definately worth a try but I don't think it was really my thing so I'm going to try a different Adelaide Japanese restaurant next time

Wonderful. The sushi was as beautifully presented as it was fresh and delicious, and quite refreshing to find a dessert menu in Adelaide both innovative and of a high caliber. Highly impressed.

Beautifully fresh & tasty sushi with good service. My only complaint is the advice I got when asking how much I should order & ended up with way too much food.

Kenji serve delicious, fresh and value for money traditional and comtemporary japanese food. Plus, the staffs working in this restaurant is so friendly. Yes, i cannot help but to add in a statement about the price for the sashimi. According to a review written by Miss Scarlet, she comment that the price was too dear and suggested to have it in Sushi Train instead. I totally disagree with her comment, Kenji serve more than just salmon and tuna sashimi, they serves yellow tail king fish, scallop, octupus, blood tuna and caviar. All these are top range and premium sashimi. It is far from comparable with sashimi served in sushi train. Plus, from my recent visit the chief have a very special dish in the menu. It was the Wagyu beef curry. That dish was so stunning. Although, i am not a japanese but that curry dish is way better and tastier than some curry dish i had in japan. Well done Kenji, keep it up!

Good food, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff however they do have an unwritten NO CHILDREN policy (especially in prams). On three occasions we have tried to get in with a pram and each time they have suggested the restaurant is full. Walking back past the restaurant each time after dining elsewhere on Hutt St has revealed they were far from full. Shame really because when we have eaten there (with the help of babysitters) it is quite good.
