Recently went to Kenichi and was torn after my experience there. Although we were seated promptly at the sushi bar for a Saturday night, I was not impressed with the wait staff took 20 mintues just to take our drink orders. The waitress then showed up and did not even bring me a drink. After she brough my friend a drink, she left and didn't come back for another 20 mintues. On top of forgetting a drink, she also forgot an item I ordered from the kitchen. The saving grace was the guy preparing the sushi took great care of us. He was the best part of the night. The waitress could have comped us or at least offered us something for her lack of attention to client's orders. The sushi was fairly good, but I'm not sure that I'd go there again. There are better places to eat sushi! On another note, the music was fun to listen to. And if you go on Wednesday, their resident DJ always plays a good set.

Pros: Atmosphere, Music, Yuppie Watching, Drinks (when brought promptly)

Cons: Wait Staff, so-so sushi

Kenichi tempts with more than 20 different kinds of sake, some served warm, some cold. You'll see many a patron (including the likes of Sandra Bullock and Lance Armstrong) doing sake bombs.
