Weve been eating here for almost 20 years and the interior of the building is starting to show its age, but we had teppanyaki and the food was still as delicious as we remember. The chef didnt have too much to say, but presentation was great and the wait staff were fast at refills of drinks and providing the side dishes timely.

Had a lovely dining experience!! Front of house staff could use a bit of a personality. No eye contact no smile hardly talked and the front was jammed. Waited quite a while for our reserved spot. The cut rolls from the sushi bar were fabulous!! Had the California roll and the tempura roll….gobbled them right up. Out chef was super nice and entertaining. Steak and shrimp was wonderful!!! Can’t wait for our next visit.

We enjoyed a fun and entertaining meal sitting at a Teppanyaki cooking table. Multiple courses keeps the meal going before your eyes. I have entertained out of town guests here on occasion and always a fun experience.

Love Ken of Japan. My favorite sushi place in Simi. I know there are probably better places but for me, Ive always had a great meal and time here.

We went to Ken of Japan to celebrate a birthday and left regretting the decision to waste our money here. The food was good, but not worth the lack of service. Our waiter whom we later found out is the owner was very rude and completely lacks any customer service. He rushed us through service and made us feel very unwelcome. We would have stayed and ordered dessert and more drinks, but not after our interaction with him. He did nothing to acknowledge our celebration. We asked the staff when leaving what’s going on with him and they all said that he’s always rude like that. We will definitely never be back!

I live in Texas, but this is my favorite restaurant on Earth. The food is perfect and the owner is ALWAYS in a bad mood. If u get a to-go order, don’t be offended if he treats u terribly, that just him. He’s a national treasure

As of now Ken has the best baked green mussels in Simi. They do not burn the shell or the mussel. The offerings are pretty inclusive, as far as AYCE goes, although not as much as 3 years ago. The rolls are massive, but varied; not everything is a california roll inside which is a huge plus. They win on the amount of included items.

Update (2022)Recently placed order and owner refused to make my order and was very rude to the person I sent to pick it up.Previous Review (2018)Really fun they lets try some off the show which sometimes people fail to bounce the egg in the show for the fried rice. Its really fun and the staff Is amazing. Food is excellent and its a very good price compared to other restaurants.

If I could give this place a 0 I would. Very disappointed. First time coming here with my family and handicapped brother service was horrible guy who sat us down didn’t even great us. Just showed us to our table. When we went to order I wanted something off the appetizers and as we were never told what part of the menu was considered food to cook in front of you we ordered what looked appetizing to us; but the guy or owner said really rudely if you don’t order anything on the tapaci you have to leave to the other side and order from the menu. I told him this was our first time being there and he just didn’t care to be like o look this is how this works so my whole family got up and walked out.

I been going here for 10+ years ... Recently moved back from being in another country for 4 yrs. did a delivery for here for UberEATS I was ignored forever multiple times a workers passes by me without knowledging me no hi or Ill be right with youI came back today with my 15yr old son for lunch there prices always be close to half of the dinner price it was almost $30 or more for per person for lunch. I compared it to the dinner menu it was $3-9 higher of a difference we walked out and went to reds bbq for lunch reds bbq was a lot of food and delicious! very disappointed with Ken of Japan reading reviews about being ignored and being Treated poorly and the SUPER high food price rise I get it if they rise it by $5 or more or whatever everywhere is but it was too much for me for a lunch special

Placed online order through their website at 12:47, email said it would be ready at 1:07. I arrived at 1:15, stood there for 6 minutes and received no greeting, no eye contact, nothing. Just workers walking by me repeatedly to serve dine-in people. A guy walks around the corner and drops a bag of food on a bench, says my name. I go pick it up and say thank you, and I asked him if utensils were inside the bag. He totally ignored me and just walked off. Didnt even look at me. You dont greet your customers, thank them for spending their money there, or say have a nice day ?? Really?? Im not expected a red carpet or anything but at least ACKNOWLEDGE MY EXISTENCE IN YOUR RESTAURANT! Completely off-putting. Were still in a pandemic and youre pushing customers away. Thats fine Ill go somewhere else since you clearly dont want my money.

Went to do a pickup today. I walked in and saw an older man up front. I said hi, I’m here for a pickup and said my name. He looked at me and just pointed across to where the bag was and that’s it! Not a word came out of his mouth, or a thank you! Extremely rude and unprofessional. If you don’t want my business, no problem. I won’t be back…and the food was cold too. Learn some respect sir.

Service was just OK. Chef was good and polite. The food was satisfactory. Dont order the beef. Ive tried several cuts and always comes out tough. Dont think they use quality beef.

I ordered Shrimp with vegetable. The food was so salty. Next morning, my blood pressure went up to 188. I woke up with a bad headache. Terrible food!!! Someone must poured tons of salt and soy sauce in it. They should be careful what they are doing...

The worst restaurant I swear. I wish I could give them a -10. The owner is so rude. I use to love this place but when he took over this place went all the way down. I placed my order at 730 and told me it would be ready in 15 minutes. Didn’t get my food until 845 with no apologies. They don’t greet you, say hello how can I help you anything. The food is just ok. Not worth the horrible customer service to go back. Never again!!!!!

Customer service used to be great, after covid. Prior entering you will be lucky to get a welcome or a hello. Call me crazy, but I will not pay someone for poor and rude customer service. To the next…. Good for people to know, how they actually treat people!

Im a long time resident of Simi, but never ate here until recently. Looking for something different, we ordered delivery from Door Dash. I was very impressed with the quality and taste of the food (even delivered!). We ordered their teriyaki steak dinner and a couple sushi rolls. Id never had sushi delivered, and was not disappointed.So we now HAD to eat in restaurant, because it could only be better, right? Right! The service was good, fast, and polite. We tried a couple other dishes. Everything was great. Their miso soup is amazing! I usually tend to play with it rather than drink it, but theirs is delicious! The only slightly negative thing is that theres a fishy smell in the restaurant (I realize this is a sushi restaurant). I dont eat seafood but my husband does and everything weve tried has been great. Definitely will visit again.Edit: In the time since I posted this, KoJ has become one of my favorite restaurants. Ive ordered many different items and none have disappointed. Id give 6 stars if I could.

Been coming here since I was 7. The Teppan Table filet mignon and shrimp thank me later. Also their fried shrimp tempura is my fav. Yes they could have new decor. But their food is fire.

The birthday celebration from Hell. Both the food and service are terrible. Dont waste your money. Ive been here twice. Pre-Covid, I was at the sushi bar and the sushi rolls were good. Everyone had a good time. No complaints. Flash forward several months, on Oct. 26th, I returned. Post-Covid, the sushi bar is not operational. We were seated at a table within view of the hostess/waitress. We were literally the only customers seated on one side of the restaurant. We ordered quite a bit of sushi and the chicken teriyaki. The chicken teriyaki was inedible. Visually, the chicken didnt look right, which was off-putting. It was more gray than brown. Never seen anything like it. Its like it didnt brown properly. It was sliced so very thin lengthwise that it was overcooked and very, very tough to chew. The grill marks looked more like the ones that are made on a small indoor grill (I own one), rather than a professional grill. The sauce was off. No one at the table liked it, or wanted to eat it. The California Rolls also were not right. The seasoning was not bad, but the rolls appeared to be missing something (no idea what since I dont make California Rolls....I do buy them, however, frequently, and these were exceptionally high in what tasted like mayonnaise and underseasoned in whatever gives California Rolls that tang). My husband ordered a salmon skin hand roll. I didnt try it. I did see him take a bite of it and then quickly remove something from his mouth. He said the salmon skin was so tough he thought he was biting down on a piece of plastic. It wasnt plastic and he didnt finish the roll. Then.... if all of that wasnt enough.... we never saw our waitress. After waiting several minutes for her to appear (so we could get our beverages refilled), I finally took my cell phone out of my purse and called the restaurant in hope that she would return to the front of the restaurant and answer the phone. She didnt. I watched as another woman answered the phone. I informed the woman that answered the phone that we were customers seated to the left of the restaurant and wed like to see our waitress. The woman that answered the phone came to our table and refilled our drinks. At the end, our original waitress said that she was bringing out a birthday ice cream for our son. It never came. We got tired of waiting for it. We got up and left. I spent 70-something dollars on dinner and went home and ate a sandwich. Thats never happened to me before. You will never convince me that a professional sushi chef made that sushi, or that a properly trained chef prepared that chicken teriyaki. We wont be back.

The food was delicious and very filling. The Teppan chef was fun and entertaining, the whole family had a good time watching him prepare the food and interacting with us. I ordered the swordfish with fried rice. The freshly made fried rice looks delicious.

We placed our order online and spent $130 on food and left a hefty tip. When we went to pick up the food it was sitting on a bench next to the door (we ordered hot food and its 40 degrees outside) Then when we started eating we found at least 3 short, fine, straight hairs in all of our food. (Hibachi vegetables, vegetable sushi roll, and a salad) When I called to try to fix the issue they refused to accept it was them and that it was from us. (None of our hair is like that). Then when I asked them to make it right the manager started yelling at me saying they werent going to give us cash. (Weird assumption). After saying I wasnt even interested in that and that we paid in card anyways, he said he could give us a 30% off credit and when I asked for proof he continued to yell and say he would email me and then he hung up.

Food is excellent. Highly recommend the curry and fried tofu. The wait for food tends to be a little long, but its worth it in the end. This rating is for the dining side only, as its been many years since Ive experience their teppanyaki.

I made a reservation for 6 pm. I called the restaurant 15 min before to let them know we were running 5 if we could move to 615. Once we arrived, we were gaslighted and told I didnt talk to anyone. We walked out.

Our family of 12 went for my husbands 65th birthday, the cook was on top of his game with comedy, skills with his utensils and interacting with the family, the wait for our sushi 🍣 was a 40 minute wait from the time of our order, food was delicious 😋 overall a fun time was had by all😃

The staff is always so nice. The food is great, you must get the fried rice! Teppan chefs are the best, always interact with the kids. California rolls are sooo good too! The inside is a little older and cpuld be updated but overall good experience.

Long wait. We got to the restaurant at 06:30 pm we got seated 08:00 pm .People that arrived after us got a table before us I pointed this out to them and they said sorry and that was that. The other folks in our table had the same thing done to them. Food was good but not worth the wait.

2018-06-20 13:56:34

Food on the sushi side of the restaurant is just ok, and the service is completely terrible. We asked for beef instead of chicken in a noodle dish, and they werent able to accommodate that request... Even though they have beef dishes. This was the second time coming here, and both times, an order comes out wrong. Each time weve gone, we literally only saw our server twice - otherwise theyre nowhere to be found and you think theyve forgotten you exist.

2019-05-05 17:33:27

Great food, prices are rgood. I got the large sashimi platter for like 30 dollars and its more than enough to fill you up. They have a beer and sake special everyday and have a relaxing Japanese hibachi venue thats very nice. The chefs and servers are awesome I recommend it to anyone who wants good sushi

Review №44

2022-01-23 02:52:40

The service is terrible. The hostess didn’t acknowledge our presence for several minutes, and the other host crossed our reservation while we were waiting for service, then gave someone our table. He was very rude and denied that we were waiting.

Get the lunch special its good, has a lot of food and wont break the bank. I think it comes with a salad, sushi, teriyaki chicken and rice for under 7 to 8 dollars. Ken is a awesome host and the rest of the staff is friendly. Sushi bar is great too.

Eat here a lot, just for fun and some family occasions. Excellent food, good show, and decent service. Service can be hit or miss at times though.I adore the Teppan Fried Rice, and usually get 2 orders, lol.

Great for small groups of 2 or 3. Teppan is nice and chefs are very interactive especially with kids. Good for sushi newbies, easy to be helped by asking about what you like. Waiting for teppan table is VERY long time during peak meal times, not worth it.

Me and my friend came in and had an awful experience. Not only was the food not good but neither was the customer service. The cook had am awful attitude and then management was mad because we were disappointed. He did take the charge off. But never will I go to Ken of Japan again. Not recommended.

Went in last Saturday for lunch but there was no one to welcome us or sit us at a table. It sounded so good but no one came when I called out either. A simple acknowledgement would have gone a long way with my boyfriend and I. We had to leave because we were on a limited time frame. I was bummed.

I ordered the all you could eat sushi. I ordered a dynamite roll and a lobster roll, the dynamite roll had scallops on top of a California roll and the lobster roll was the same. What was that guys? I didnt complain, I probably should have. I have never seen these types of rolls being made substituting a California roll underneath of it. I thought then I was ordering authentic dynamite roll and a lobster roll.

2019-01-26 19:26:41

Came in here for my first time. I ordered these filet mignon and the halibut. The halibut and filet mignon were cooked to perfection. The reason I gave them a 4-star because the fried rice and the vegetables were not that great. Fried rice could have been more fresh. Little bit too soft for fried rice. But all in all it was very good

My first visit to this restaurant was a nightmare... I get a table for me and my family and Philip walks to our table and says our kind is not welcome in their establishment.. he calls me slurs, spits in my mothers drink, and sneezes in my fathers food. He then calls the police on us for soliciting while we are still in the restaurant... NEVER going back to this restaurant do not, I repeat DO NOT eat here!

The food is fantastic, and they take reservations. I have 4 stars because they are a little too expensive for me. Ill probably go somewhere else next time and save $10/person.

OK I just parked right outside this place and gave them a call asking them where they got their salmon from… Simple question, yes? Let me tell you the girl told me that she would “go ask the chef “.Before we carry-on is important to preface this with the fact that it’s well-known that fish especially these days can be VERY toxic – one of the most toxic foods out there. If the chef is not willing to tell you where their fish comes from and or doesn’t know, they are wholly irresponsible and literally playing with peoples physical lives... all for the sake of their sacred dollar....greed.I am not a tree hugger nor an uptight dude. However, I am a conscious and breathing individual who cares about other people‘s well-being under God. I wish for everyone to practice the proper procedures when handling someone else’s food… Simply possibly because… it might mean you care?I’ll keep this short by saying the chef came back with “we get it from the fishmarket” according to the waitress who answered the phone. I took no personal problem with this except for The chefs will to mislead the public, obviously scared of what might become of the information I was requested.That’s all I have to say… Read into it what you will… Sorry no rosy picture here just a dark glass of who knows what inside.

I tried to place to a pick up order over the phone and when I asked if they served Ramen I was told yes. I asked to place a pick up order and they said, EXCUSE ME. And paused. I repeated my self and waited for a response they hung up on me instead. Very rude. Wont be doing business here.

I’ve been to this place couple times it’s good but service is horrible especially the Asian men that work at this place they don’t even greet you!! If you ask for something they don’t like it. I will have to look for a different sushi place closer to home I was driving from Arleta once a week! But no more HORRIBLE SERVICE!!

Only have the teppan or the sushi. Do not order from the dinner menu! Food tastes like it was pre cooked. Meat and chicken were very tough and overcooked. Staff seems very disorganized but nice.

Good lunch specials, this place needs to take the pictures down of who knows who they are, but they are everywhere when you step in..the salad was very fresh, the rice was good, and the chicken teriyaki was good, the spicy tuna rolls were very good, I would go back, kinda empty so we had decent service. I would go back to try different items on the menu.

2020-11-22 03:05:22

Said order would be ready for pickup in 10 minutes, hour later still waiting and then they tried to give us the order with several items missing!!! They wouldnt answer the phone, terrible service!!! 2 hours later and still waiting! This is not the way to treat your customers. Ordered 4:46pm its now 7:05pm

Very good salmon sushi. Slow service. Appeared to be very understaffed for the evening dinner crowd. Very fast seating. Nice atmosphere.

Curry is basically a soup and the teriyaki chicken is so dry In pretty sure its someones leftovers. I was so excited and now Im super bummed!

The waitress was not professional. She would eves-drop on our conversation and then comment on it. Completely ruined our dinner. We are never going back and letting all our friends know and we have a lot of them!
