Uninvited dinner guests, and they didn't seem to care?!

by texville

So I haven't been to Ken's in years but went there this week on a date. Just as we were washing down our 2-4-1 beers, I noticed a "creepy crawling guy" scurry across the wall between the dinning room and kitchen. I pointed the uninvited dinner guest to the sushi chef... he then pointed it to a waitress who, rather unwillingly, dawned rubber gloves to remove it. However, it could not be found as it had escaped behind some pictures on the wall. We asked to cancel our order and our waitress had the nerve to ask why. As if insects aren't reason enough... and she made us pay for the beer?! We finished the night at Samurai, much better!

Good food, but not very clean...

I ate at Ken's last week after finding out that Taste of Tokyo (R.I.P.) shut down. The food was great, but at the end of my meal, I saw a la cucaracha on the west wall in the back room by my table. Needless to say, I didn't take my bento box leftovers home.

Great sushi; crowds can be nuts

Let me first say that the sushi gets an "A" in my book. The price was great and the food excellent! We loved the Nashville roll and the crunchy shrimp roll was great. The staff is so friendly and helpful. However, we went when there were a bunch of sorority girls there for a party and they all had to pay for each ticket separate and whine and complain about everything and it took them an hour to get out of the store when they were done. The staff took it well-along with their small tips.

It can be a bit hard to find parking on the weekends but once you do, prepare for some of the best sushi in Nashville!

• Pros: taste, wait staff
• Cons: parking, other customers
