Posting this on Google as well. I want to make sure that whoever needs to read this, does so.
FOOD We ordered the pork belly buns, unagi roll, and for desserts: brownie ice cream, fried oreos, and strawberry mochi. The food was decent but underwhelming. Our pork belly was 85-90% fat and was not seasoned well, however, the texture of the bun was on-point. Springy and well cooked. The unagi roll had almost no unagi in it at all. For $19 it is a laughable amount of eel. Their sushi rice was slightly too sweet. Their desserts were just okay as well. I think if they did not drench everything in sauce, it would be much better.
ATMOSPHERE Cute and straightforward layout. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. Even though we walked in 40 minutes before they closed (again, sorry about that. Late night cravings haha) they were still accepting and welcoming. The decoration is a combination of Asian, farmhouse, and modern.
SERVICE Cesar was attentive and friendly. And I hope that this review does not negatively impact his employment at all. He was great. This review is really aiming to the management and overall food quality. My friends and I came here for a late night snack and to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We ordered one order of pork belly buns, unagi roll, and some of their desserts. When the food came out, we accidentally received two orders of the pork belly buns. We brought it to our server’s attention, and we communicated that there must have been a miscommunication, and we apologized. When Cesar brought it to the attention of the manager, he looked visibly disappointed and upset. They whisper argued back and forth, and we eventually felt so awkward that we told Cesar that it was fine and not to worry about it. Later, when the desserts (strawberry mochi, brownie with ice cream, and fried oreos), we dug in with eagerness. My friend has a nut allergy and spoke up saying that he believes there are nuts in the brownie. While this is something that we should have communicated as well, I do feel like if an establishment does not offer a physical dessert menu, the server should at least ask for allergies. Especially since this is a popular Japanese restaurant where most sauces and ingredients are unknown for the unfamiliar to Japanese cuisine. We asked a couple servers if there were nuts in the brownie, and NO ONE KNEW. Eventually, the manager came and told us that there were. We expressed that my friend has a nut allergy, and we got a soft apology and that was it. When the bill came, both the pork belly buns and brownie were still on out bill. No apology or anything was issued. We still tipped ~20% tip because we knew that the server was really not at fault. I gave this place two stars because it was not all bad. The server was nice, sweet, and polite. He definitely could have been, “Oh great. Last guests of the night.” But he didn’t. The management of the establishment really leaves lots of room for...
Read moreI’ve been to Ke-uH many times over the past few years - always by way of ordering takeout. After Parc 28 closed down, I was looking for a new Asian spot in Weston, and I was excited to give this place a try.
I immediately noticed that the prices were much, much higher than other Japanese restaurants that I’ve frequented, but I figured I’d still give it a try. The food was very good, but I was disappointed by the portion sizes given the price point. The fried rice and chicken skewers came out to ~$25 after tax which is crazy considering how little food there is. There’s certainly an argument to be made for spending more money for quality food, but if I’ve hardly made a dent in my appetite after a $25 meal, it’s not worth it. Due to limited options for Japanese food in and around Weston, I continued to visit more and more over the years, and unfortunately it seems the portion sizes have gotten smaller and smaller with time.
I’ve also had mixed experiences with the staff there. I once showed up 30 minutes after placing a takeout order, waited 10 whole minutes for any of the staff to acknowledge me, and when I finally got someone’s attention, they told me it would be another 30 minutes. 1 hour and 10 minutes for a side order of fried rice and an appetizer is unacceptable, especially for takeout. If it was a busy night, I’d understand as I’ve worked in restaurants in the past, but it didn’t appear that this was the case at all.
However, on my last few visits, the staff was extremely kind and attentive - though the wait times have continued to be far longer than their estimates online. And not by a little, I’m talking 30 - 40 additional minutes.
Overall, the food is good but you could get better meals elsewhere with more adequate portion sizes at a lower cost. I get it, Weston rent has to be ludicrously expensive, but if this location priced their food more realistically I’d probably be a much more...
Read moreI recently had the distinct pleasure of dining at Ke-uh in Weston, and wanted to highlight the remarkable talent of Luis, the Sushi Chef. From the moment I sat down at the sushi bar, Luis's passion and expertise were evident, making for an unforgettable culinary experience. Watching Luis craft each piece of sushi was like observing an artist at his canvas. His precision with the knife is truly astounding, each cut exact and deliberate, showcasing the quality of the fish. What truly sets Luis apart, however, is his deep understanding of flavor profiles. He doesn't just assemble ingredients; he orchestrates them. The balance of textures and tastes in every bite, from the perfectly seasoned rice to the impeccably fresh seafood, was simply sublime. Every piece Luis prepared, from the delicate nigiri to the innovative rolls, was a testament to his dedication to his art. The quality of the fish was unparalleled, and his unique touches transformed classic dishes into something extraordinary. If you are a sushi aficionado, or simply looking for an exceptional dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend seeking out Luis at Ke-uh in Weston. He is, without a doubt, an innovative sushi chef of the highest caliber, and his creations are a true delight for the senses. I'm already looking forward to...
