No. Just no. This wasn't the worst sushi experience I've ever had, but it was (very) far from the best. Nothing about Sushi Ken made me want to return. When I stepped in on Friday it was busy, so it definitely fueled my anticipation. But, after my meal I was wondering why all these people didn't just head down the street to (this other sushi place I know).
The service meant well -- a little slow, but friendly enough. The atmosphere was kind of cool -- kind of that well-worn Asian restaurant vibe I remember from San Francisco. Only this place doesn't really serve up "the goods." The sushi was lacking. Some of it was alright. But some was just..."no." Namely the Spicy Tuna; it was this bland, texture-less pink paste that I assume was made out of tuna, but you couldn't really prove it.
Anyway, I was bummed because I really wanted to like Sushi Ken; I heard such great things about it, and it's really close to my neighborhood. But walking away, all I could think was, "Meh. I've experienced better."
