Kenko Sushi - Lincoln Park

Best sushi in the opposite! we go 30 minutes from hone, just for their fresh sushi?

It's all about the special rolls. I was blown away by the taste, the serving size, yet the low price. Incredible! This is the best sushi takeout place, hands down.

The pandemic really gave Kenko an opportunity. They closed their doors to the public and decided on this no-contact, app-based business model. You are only allowed to order online via their app, and you better do it quick because when you have the app it daily pops up with notifications at 4:45PM that they have maxed out orders for the day They literally print money there with so many orders they don't even need to suck up to patrons or even speak to them, kitchen closes at like 8:01PM and they head off home. The app does not distinguish whether they are open or closed, so you can get the whole way through ordering a meal and then find out at the pickup time selection point that they have randomly decided to close. The sushi is good value when you can actually get it, but it was better value before they removed multiple options from their menu (pandemic excuse again). You used to be able to mix special and regular rolls in a deal with miso soup no longer. They used to give you half a free roll with your order, but recently that was changed to a portion of seaweed and crab salad. It's nice, but I can't get past the frustration of struggling to order every time.

I finally found a place that serves boba milk teas and a great selection of sushi. Plus lots of desserts. They have Bento boxes, poke bowls, bubble waffle ice cream, milk tea, fruit tea, float tea, smoothie fruit veggies, sushi rolls and pressed torch sushi. I'm in love. So far The Volcano Roll is my favorite item.

Great sushi. Reasonable price. Friendly people. Ample parking.
