Kenny Centre Mall

A nice cluster of shops and restaurants in an older mall. Busy on weekends, but not nutso today, a sunny late-winter Sunday. There's the Japanese culture end, with a gift shop, bakery, market, and high- and low-end restaurants. There's the Pepperidge Farm outlet store (we remember.) There's Penzey's spices, a cool store in a cool old building (former bank.) There's Xi Xia and Chilispot, authentic Chinese food. Pho Chef Vietnamese. VGet, not vegetarian, more an Asian cafe and bakery. And there are a few other shops and food places, like Mochi Ring donuts. Plus a Staples (a smaller one, formerly an Office Depot.) Across the street is Honey Dip donuts and Pacific Eatery, and CM Chicken, and more.An old-school walkable strip mall, in a U, plus the Japanese section off one corner with a courtyard and benches. You'll need a rest after trying to visit all the shops. Worth spending a nice afternoon shopping and eating.

I prefer the Cartman Centre Mall, but this is okay too, just a bit muted. Orange you glad I said that?It's a pretty big strip mall with a bunch of different sections, and the highlight of this strip mall, other than the fact that I once played a concert here to basically zero people, is that it has a pretty good Kung Fu tea here. Owned by the same people that own the one up in the north suburbs which is actually better. But I like both.And this is one of my favorite Kung Fu Teas in Ohio and everything tastes good and they usually serve me really late at night even if I come in 5 minutes before closing and a lot of places won't do that so I give them massive credit.Speaking of massive, Barbie said that I should pull down my pants so here you go.(Pulls Down Pants)

This is a treasure trove of Chinese and Japanese restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Several Japanese options, include Belle's Bread, J Avenue, and Akai Hana are gathered together in the Japan Marketplace in the back right corner when facing the shopping center. Tasty Chinese options are spread throughout the shopping center, including Ichiban Bakery, Chilispot, and Xi Xia restaurant. There's also a bubble tea store, Kung Fu Tea. There are so many delicious options, and it's definitely worth repeat visits!There are some other shops here too, including Penzey's Spices, craft stores, clothing stores, a salon, a Staples, and a BMV.

Kung. Fu. Tea!!!!!! Went here for that but there are plenty of other cool options including a Japanese Bakery! I had no idea some of these cool shops were here. It's definitely worth a visit especially if you or a loved one is interested in Japanese culture.

Mall might be a generous word to describe Kenny Centre, but that doesn't mean the northwest Columbus shopping center isn't a destination. Here are a few reasons:- The place has an unusually high concentration of ethnic foods and goods -- Hana Gifts, Tensuke Market, Crescent Cafe & Bakery, Sher E Punjab Indian Restaurant and Ichiban Bakery, just to name a few.- Kenny Centre still boasts an independent record store. Rad!- Pepperidge Farm Bakery Outlet = Cheap Goldfish!The plaza has its quirks too. I mean, how many salons can one shopping area support?Check this place out!

Come for Tensuke Market/Express, stay for the bakeries, stops, and other surprises! A wonderful place to shop!

This mall center is a emity store fronts so little bussies and not sure how it's STILL alive! I used to go back in the 1980's when it was BOOMING! Why the own can bring back those day again! I miss the MCL Cafe, Ace Joe, Trends, Yes or No!, Hit Or Miss, Camlot Music, Hearts (grocies) and that gone!

If you want to get Japanese products, come here. There's a market that has imported stuff from Japan, and a traditional Japanese Bakery too. They also have a cute little store with Japanese characters such as Totoro and Rilakuma. Definitely check it out!
