Kenbey Sushi sits at 4339 Sunset Blvd in Central Los Angeles, a 26-seat Japanese restaurant built around a counter-only format. The menu offers both omakase and à la carte options, with the omakase positioned as the way to experience chef Kenji Koyama's selection of ingredients most fully.
Chef Koyama's background spans Tokyo and Los Angeles, and the restaurant's Edomae sushi style reflects that lineage. The room's small seat count keeps service centered on the counter, where the chef works directly with guests through each course.
Kenbey falls in the top price tier tracked on this guide, consistent with its counter-only, chef-led format. Reservations are handled by phone at (323) 928-2177, and the restaurant's own site also links to an online booking page.
Hours vary by day. Lunch service runs from 12:00 to 14:00 on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, while dinner service runs from 17:30 to 21:30 every day except Monday, when the restaurant is closed. Confirm current hours and availability directly with Kenbey before planning a visit, since schedules at counter-only omakase restaurants can shift with the season or the chef's supply.
