| - On a hot Saturday afternoon, I was craving to get my Asian food fix, and I really like nothing better than a hodge podge of customizable Asian creations. I was really excited to try Kenko because it has two things I value highly in a dining establishment: options and bubble tea.
We drove out to Cleveland Heights for food and boba, and when we entered Kenko, it had a steady flow of business, but was still spacious and quiet. The menu has a lot of choices, and it honestly took me longer than I expected to choose. I decided to get a beef teriyaki bowl, and my SO ordered an beef sushi roll (weird, but we rolled with it.) It took awhile to customize his sushi, and then we were off to the counter to finish up and order the boba I was anxiously awaiting.
I'm a bubble tea connoisseur; I've had it in nearly every state and major city on the east coast of the U.S. and Canada. My eyes popped wide open when I heard Kenko had Kung Fu Tea, my Chicago Chinatown favorite. When we had already finished ordering his sushi and I stepped up to the register about to burst with happiness, the staff informed us they were out of bubble tea. I was devastated. If we hadn't already ordered, I would have shot across the street to Ninja City. I was hoping the food would make up for my sudden state of depression, but it really didn't. I'd say the teriyaki bowl was a step above Sakkio Japan. The udon noodles were a nice touch, but if you blindfolded me, I would have thought I was eating at the mall. The sushi was actually quite good, but we didn't feel it was worth a 35 minute drive for with so many sushi options near us.
