Ken Japanese Bistro - Richardson

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The spicy tuna sushi was delicious, as well as the yakitori, Kastu don, and beef teriyaki. The poki was not my favorite, as it was served on lettuce instead of rice, but the tuna and sauce were tasty. The restaurant has a beautiful design and the staff is friendly. I am looking forward to returning soon.

Eating at this restaurant is always a delight. Their dedication to providing memorable Japanese dishes is evident in both the presentation and taste. One standout dish is their ramen with roasted garlic. While it may have been easier to simply add garlic for flavor, the addition of roasted garlic was a nice touch. If only this restaurant were closer to home, it would be a regular dining spot for me.

My son ordered the tonkatsu ramen, although he mentioned he would choose something different on his next visit. I opted to try a variety of dishes—dumplings, agedashi tofu, assorted yakitori, and the salmon Onigiri. All of the dishes were delicious, except for the chicken skin yakitori which I did not care for. The agedashi tofu was particularly outstanding, one of the best I have ever had, and I seriously could have just had that along with the onigiri and been completely satisfied. I was thrilled to see that they had hamachi collars on the menu, but decided to save that for another visit. We didn't have the chance to sample any sushi on this occasion, but we will definitely be returning. Overall, it was a fantastic first impression!

Great place to get a delicious and filling bento! You get to choose 2 or 3 items to add to your bento including different kinds of fish and tempura! I really enjoyed the croquettes and takoyaki! I liked to dip the croquettes in the tempura sauce instead of what's given. This place has opened up more so you can bring more people here.

5 months later and I am finally reviewing places! I have been here twice or maybe three times since then and I can say it is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants! Im not a huge fan of Ramen and there are plenty of other places for that, but my girlfriend enjoyed that and the cold Soba. I love Japanese fried food like Tonkatsu and its great here; it even comes on a little wire rack so it doesn't get soft from the oil Service is good but can be slow during busy times, the place feels very authentic, and you can tell because there are quite a bit of Japanese customers that come in haha EDIT: We came again since the girl was craving Udon and we give it full marks! Flavorful but the broth might be strong for some people used to lighter ones. This was the first time I tried the Yakitori and I was not dissapointed! The Tongue, Cheek, and Kobe Beef were all delicious! The matcha desert was pretty good too! My girl is a huge fan of matcha and she loved it! Its a pretty strong punch of matcha compared to some sweeter alternatives that are out there, but it was still good!
