I absolutely adore Kei for many reasons! Their takeout game cannot be beat. I've ordered rolls, appetizers, and more for takeout and it always comes quickly and well packaged. They don't play with their service and quality.I also love that I can pop in as a solo diner and sit at the sushi bar even on a Friday night. Because their takeout business is thriving, they often have seats available in house if you'd like a casual dine in experience. It is a BYOB and the team here is SO kind. I decided to dine in this past weekend and felt so well taken care of. I like the sushi bar because it is like dinner and a show. They have three sushi chefs working tirelessly to churn out classic and specialty rolls, sashimi platters, sushi boats, nigiri, and all of the other items you'd expect to see at a top tier sushi restaurant.I love how near this is to my house and that they pride themselves on their high quality fish. They don't skimp on portions either and the prices are the best in the city. I got three rolls and an app for ~$37. I can't wait for my next takeout order and it's great to have Kei as a go-to!

Super yummy sushi!! The sashimi platter was incredibly fresh, and all the sushi rolls were amazing! I don't remember exactly what rolls and sashimi we ordered. The sushi boat was so cute and beautifully decorated. Servers were also so so kind when we accidentally spilled lots of water on the floor. Love this underrated, hidden gem of a sushi spot!! Highly recommend :)

I got the Kei sushi dinner with the garden salad and everything was delicious! The fish is good quality and the sushi rice is seasoned well. The service was also very fast despite the restaurant being full. We also tried the spicy edamame which was very spicy but delicious, and the mochi ice cream for dessert was also great. The price point is slightly higher than expected but for the quality of sushi it's definitely worth it.

Pretty good sushi! Came here during a rotation for dental school so location was super convenient. My classmates and I were the only ones there at 12:30pm on a weekday so service was really fast! Food came out quickly. Their lunch special is so cheap! $12 for two rolls and miso soup/salad! The fish is fresh, but the sushi had too much rice for my liking.

Solid sushi spot with cute dishes! Our sushi was plated on a cute boat.We shared a Sahara roll and Kei sushi combo. I like the way they season their rice here! I was a big fan of the Sahara roll--the pink soybean paper didn't really taste like anything but looked nice and held the pieces together well, and the textures/flavor was great. The tuna maki roll was packed with fish, and we liked all of the nigiri (salmon was notably good) except for one piece with the shiny skin that was a bit weird tasting. (But apparently it was fine, since I'm writing this a couple days later:) )The atmosphere inside is pretty informal, and I think they do a lot of takeout. The chopsticks provided were wood disposable ones, and I would've preferred real chopsticks. But I enjoyed dining there and would come again!

What a find! In my mind, judging sushi can be seen on a 4-point curve fit (sorry for getting nerdy on this), where there is a diminishing return on how much you spend versus the quality of the sushi you get. On the bottom end is your grocery store sushi, which is still quite good, but it's not the same as what you would get with a 3 Michelin star omakase place where they fly in fish every day from Japan.Kei is in that sweet spot where there is a linear relationship with how much you spend and how good the food is. In terms of the price that we spent versus the quality, it definitely skewed the curve more towards a higher quality for a lower price. 35 dollars for a sashimi and sushi combination, I've never seen that anywhere else. The portions are also VERY generous. As much as I love inventive, high end sushi, there's the feeling that I would need a dessert pizza or something to fill me up at the end. The pieces of nigiri were veryyyy substantial, and of quite good quality. The restaurant is kept really clean and warm. The service was quite good for a small team, though I did need to ask our server for some more water. Another great thing, is it's BYOB.If you live around the area, this is definitely a neighborhood spot, somewhere that I could come (almost) every day and get a good meal.

Amazing sushi! Super fresh and made to order. And they have attentive servers. My son thought that their California rolls were the best sushi that he had!

Sometimes you never know if it'll be good when it's not your usual place. So this is on south street near the hospital. I placed a big order for bestie night and they def called me to make sure I was still coming. It got to the point, I was sitting in traffic on South and they came out to the car (in stalled traffic) to give me my food. The food-- fresh and plentiful. Each item was fresh from edamame to the seaweed salad. As you can see I get the dragon roll, an eel, some tempura, the dumplings were delicate and delicious. I would certainly get again and be happy to receive my food while I drive by slowly in traffic

Solid sushi place on South Street. I used to love this place she. It first opened several years ago. It's definitely "no frills" but that is usually my preference. The Good: portion sizes, quality of the fish, selection The Not-So-Good: prices are high. Be advised that sashimi prices are PER PIECE, not for TWO pieces. Rolls are $1.50-$2.50 higher compared to comparable establishments. Quality: 4 starsValue/ambiance: 2.5 stars
