Food was good, decent portions, cute inside! to go orders packed in tight and hard to get out with chopsticks but it was yummy

Food was alright, there were a lot of options on the menu and the prices were not bad at all. Service was friendly and quick, but i just did not like how when i asked for a drink i was brought a small cup with mostly ice, and they charged for a refill! Overall it's a cool place.

High quality sushi and Chinese food. Good service even though it was busy. Reasonable prices

I love kenichi! they have great sushi and great drinks, but the cleaning really puts them ahead. I was having lunch and they were cleaning and making sure everything was spotless! such a fun place for lunch and drinks.

My fav sushi here is the Angel Maki and the crazy maki. Both never disappoint but the star of the show for me has to be the house fried rice. Also I love the owners and the service here is always great and accommodating.

After moving to the area recently I stumbled upon Kenichi and will NEVER order sushi or Chinese from another restaurant again. Everything I've ordered has always been delicious, and the leftovers are even better. The chicken wings, crab rangoons, and general gaos are my go-to's and you seriously can't go wrong with any of the sushi. I've only ordered takeout (you know, with the pandemic and all) but the staff has always been so nice when I pickup my order. If you're in search for a new favorite place to get sushi and Chinese in Worcester, look no further!

Been here several times now and its always been a nice experience :) they do not have a parking lot and it is street parking! the place is also small so beware for when its busy, I dont recall ever waiting long though. I'm always wicked full when I go here and service was solid.

One of my favorite sushi spots around here. Started the outing with a couple vodka sodas. As for sushi, we ordered the angel roll, a spicy tuna roll and the one with the eggs inside. We sat outside, it was beautiful out. Breezy and sunny. Can't beat a lunch like that. They forgot the soy sauce and our last roll but it wasn't a big deal at all. Oh! Almost forgot, ordered some seaweed salad, too. Wicked good. Will continue to dine here.
