Kenkou is a nice little spot located in a small plaza on Steeles. Thanks to Yelp for helping find this place.
Pros:
Lots to choose from in AYCE menu
Service is quick even when busy
Cons:
No Tuna in AYCE
Ice cream not divided?
We were felling AYCE sushi one weekend night and didn't want to travel to far. A quick search on Yelp revealed this place. I go by this plaza all the time and never knew there was a sushi restaurant here at all. It's looks very tiny on the outside but is actually very big when you come in. This place also lets you order a la cart so if you're not feeling AYCE, you have that option as well.
One look at the AYCE menu shows Kenkou offers a lot of options. They have your sushi, sashimi, some fried foods, teppenyaki options, udon and a bunch more I can't remember off the top of my head. One notable omission is tuna. They don't seem to have that on the AYCE menu which kinda sucks. Other than that, I was quite satisfied with what was available.
The service here is very quick and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for any items we ordered. The sushi here is pretty good, not the best but great for what you're paying. I loved the teppenyaki items. The garlic shrimp was definitely one of my favorite items. The sashimi was well done as well. The sushi and anything else with rice comes with a lot of rice (which is standard at any AYCE place if you ask me) so I avoid those when I can.
When it came to the ice cream at the end of the meal, they did something strange. We ordered 3 orders of chocolate and 2 orders of ginger ice cream. I was thinking we were getting separate little bowls for each order like all other places. They out all 3 orders of chocolate in the same bowl and all the ginger in another. I don't know if they did that because they knew we were family, but it was still awkward to eat. I can't imagine if I came out with acquaintances that I'm not as close to. Just weird if you ask me.
Overall, a nice little place to go for sushi. It's a hidden gem if you ask me. It won't be the best, but will definitely satisfy.
