About
Tucked along the Geldersekade in central Amsterdam, just minutes from Centraal Station, Ken Sushi revolves entirely around one person: Ken, the chef. Every evening he guides up to twelve guests through roughly twenty-five nigiri, sashimi, and small plates — each one accompanied by an engaging story about the product, its origins, and the Japanese traditions behind it.
There is no menu. You simply surrender to the omakase format and let the chef lead the way through a succession of preparations that showcase a range of Japanese techniques and styles. The intimate bar setting means every guest receives personal attention, turning dinner into something closer to an interactive masterclass in sushi culture.
The combination of quality and character has earned Ken Sushi a Gault&Millau score of 12.5/20, and an outstanding Google rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 929 reviewers. Unpretentious, personal, and wholly original — it is exactly what the name promises.
Secure your seat at the bar and let Ken take you through a night of exceptional sushi and stories.
