I ordered a godzilla roll and a volcano roll for lunch two days ago.

PRO's: rice was properly cooked, raw fish was reasonably fresh and the tuna not taste too old. The salmon had a good color. The sushi-chefs station looked very clean and the staff was very polite. They use the better, higher quality white pickled ginger instead of the artificially dyed pink stuff.

Con's: very limited fish selection, only tuna, salmon, and snapper. rice was smashed too hard on the nori. The Califormia roll mix and TNT/dynamite mix (krab and "schrimp") are pre-made mixes, the same mixes used in gas-station sushi. The fish was pre-sliced in the display case, which exposes it to oxidation. The "seared" tuna on the godzilla roll was blow-torched and a lot of the rice was burnt black as a result (see picture, the black is burnt, not sesame seeds). Also, the torch wasn't burning cleanly and left a strong propane-kerosen-soot flavor. The volcano roll had too much spicy mayo (also store bought, see image), like, so much spicy mayo my arteries started crying. On second thought, maybe I was served a mayo roll instead? No nigiri. No salmon skin roll on the menu (which is my favorite). The paper boxes make the food feel cheap and disposable and are very wasteful of natural resources, and not recyclable. Almost every roll has cream cheese or mayo.

If you like the sort of sushi served at an all you can eat Chinese buffet resturaunt, or that's available frozen at wall mart , this place is right up your ally. It's not at all spoiled or dangerous... it's just not good. There are almost a dozen sushi restaurants in Columbia in addition to every large grocery store, where you can buy a roll from. Kenko just isn't good enough to stand out positively.

My 2cents, stick to the tea at kenko, and then go next door to Hyvee for sushi, or any of the real sushi restaurants.
