“ A friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint. The fish is fresh and the service is top tier . I would recommend sitting at the bar if you can so you can talk to the sweetest owner, Ken. It's so great talking to him and watching him and his team work. Started with some plum wine and sake. There are plenty of sake options to choose from so you can't go wrong. If anything just ask the server and they'll guide you. The seaweed salad was nice to share. Nothing crazy but you get two types of seaweed. We shared the chef choice nigiri, which had a good number of pieces and variety. Fish was delicious and the chef cut the pieces in half for us because we were sharing. The chef gave us a few extra cuts of sashimi to try, and it was SO good. We also had the hamachi jalapeno roll. Delicious and not spicy at all. The house made gyozas are also solid, but I don't know how they compare to the none house made ones. I think this might be my go to sushi spot in North county now. It's a very unassuming place surrounded by businesses, but don't let that fool you. Great food and great atmosphere. ”
“ Just a quick update ........ San Diego Foodies and Carlsbad Foodies on meetup go as a group to Ken Sushi quarterly and this time around Ken Sushi had a few different things on the Love Omakase order. So since it's our job to let you know if you should go with the Love Omakase or not, I say ... WE say: go with it once again. Here's just a few comments that add to the prior reviews: Japanese eggplant with tuna, tartare, mango, and caviar. Sheri loves it. Everyone is saying how good it is. Jason loves the oysters. I personally enjoy the pumpkin purée with lobster and shrimp. Marie is surprised that every single plate has such fresh Fish that was "delicious and melt in my mouth, very buttery". She says" "Each dish is so different with a different sauce and every single piece of fish is really fresh." If I would say anything more about Ken Sushi workshop it would be to say that this is a Michelin star experience without a Michelin star. It's like no other sushi place you will eat at, especially if you order the Love Omakase. Last time I talked with Ken, he was explaining that he cooks with love. Maybe that's why he named it the Love Omakase. I wouldn't be surprised. You know he puts a lot of love in creating the dish plating the dish and presenting the dish. Thanks Ken! We will certainly be back! Chef Marian Kitchen Confident San Diego Foodies Carlsbad Foodies ”
“ Seriously one of the best sushi spots in SD. This is my 3rd time here and it did not disappoint. They were fully booked but Kumi and Regina found a way to get us a table for someone who didn't show up. This is called top notch customer service right here! On top of the great quality fish, fair prices, and lovely ambiance, JACOB our server was over the top amazing and super attentive! His level of awareness was impeccable! Thanks so much for such a great experience as always!~ ”

We ordered 4 orders of the Love Omakase and my goodness the delicacy and taste was gorgeous and delightful. the quality of the sashimi and every dish melts into your mouth and you WILL never forget each piece of the omakase. I highly recommend ordering the Love Omakase. ”
“ This was the 2nd time here, my friend and I came here last April and the food and service were just as good as the first time here. Reservations are a must if you want a prime eating hours. Ours was on a Tuesday at 7:00. When we arrived the inside seating was filled with our table awaiting us. Jared introduced himself as our server, very nice and attentive. We had ordered a bottle of Sake, Crispy Rice, Hamachi Jalapeno, Hamachi Kama, Spicy Tuna Roll and Eel, Salmon Belly, Sea Urchin, Smelt Egg Nigiri. All the dishes tasted great, the fish all fresh. This restaurant is pricey but excellent. Atmosphere: small typical Japanese decor with fun bubble seating outdoors. Service: excellent. Food: excellent. ”
