Kengo Sushi & Yakitori

I've heard many great things about this place and have been really setting the standards very high. This restaurant did not disappoint. We had dinner here and a friend that comes here quite often ordered for us. The quality of the food and the selection was unmatched for Toledo.
The first course was a grilled avocado and as simple as that sounds the flavors were intense. It came as a half with soy sauce and fresh wasabi relish. Has anyone ever had fresh wasabi? That pretty much explains the rest of the meal. The food was fresh and nothing was ordinary in any sense. I will saw the fatty tuna sashimi was probably the best I've ever had.
This will be a regular place we come for dinner for sure.

Omakase for my daughter's birthday tonight. It was amazing. We've had Omakase in NY, NJ, Tx and now Ohio! This restaurant is the second best we've been to so far.

The service is superb and the selection's provided are mouth watering. The restaurant is small but the setting is intimate and inviting. My daughter wanted a bit more rice with her Nigiri but for me it was perfect. Finally someone that doesn't overwhelm you with rice and lets the fish shine.

The meats were so flavorful. The chat and succulence of the chicken is the best I've ever tasted. We were lucky enough to be able to meet the chef. Great talent!!

Next door is the ramen place that is just as amazing. We will definitely coming back to try the remainder of the menu. Thank you for a great experience.

Come here for classic Japanese sushi and yakitori. Don't bother if you're looking for all the fancy rolls, there's not here but then, you won't miss them. We tried various sushi and all of them were fresh and buttery. My favorites were the bluefin tuna and salmon. I will say the hamachi otoro was super rich with oil and I can't believe I'm saying this but almost too oily.

We tried the chicken thighs and scallop yakitori. The smoke on those foods were unbelievable. Amazing! The thighs were good but kinda bland but the scallops were phenomenal. Tasted like they pulled it straight out of the ocean.

This is the newer restaurant in the casino. We came here so we didn't have to wait outside at the original restaurant. It's decorated nicely inside and a medium sized restaurant. The service was excellent.

This place is amazing! Fun atmosphere and fabulous food! I try something new each time and am always pleased

The best classic Japanese sushi but, above your average sushi spot. The service is great but, seems like there's a possibility to get missed. However, the staff appears to be on top of their serving style. I love the sushi bar, lounge style atmosphere. I'm glad we have our own sushi spot now. Highly recommended! My favorite nibble is the fish cakes.

If you love food, understand food culture, and you happen to find yourself in Toledo, this place is fantastic! Well done everybody involved in bringing this restaurant and dining experience to being. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Jenn, our bar server was amazing as well. 5 stars. Not to be missed.

The food experience is incredible. The staff is on point and their sushi is incredible. Have to say this was the best sushi I have ever had. 1st class sushi.
Looking forward to going back.

Had a great time at Kengo.

Had to put our name on the list but we just walked around the city until our table was available.
The place is intimate but casual feel.

Our server was really nice and explained the menu since it was our first time.

There is maki/Sashimi. However you chose. There is wasabi on it which I think next time I would take out since I want to taste the fish more. There are also sushi rolls and Yakitori. "And try's" which were other dishes outside of those categories.
I love this style of eating bc you get to try a lot of different bites but can order it again if you love it.

Out of all the things we tried..have to say the otoro was the best bite for me. Can't wait to go back and try more.

My husband loved the food here so much he's willing to drive 2.5 hours each way on a weekly basis for the sushi. Cocktails were unique and paired well with the food. All of the sushi was amazing. The grilled okra, corn and shishito peppers were delicious and a great alternative to fish. Our waitress recommended the bacon wrapped mango and it was out of this world. You have to put your name on the reservation list and they only have three seatings at 5, 6:30 and 8pm. Interesting system but it works

Amazing experience!! Wonderfully delicious food! Service is knowledgeable and happy! Small place but ambiance is top notch!
