When I first walked into this eatery for a quick lunch, I was surprised to see a large ballroom that could seat upwards of 200 people. It was nicely designed and I was promptly seated by the operations manager, Kingsley.

Kentizen of course offers an a la carte menu - but the buffet is a fairly decent size, with copious amounts of tuna/salmon sashimi along with plenty of different kinds of sushi in the middle of the buffet. Arriving at their opening time of 11:30, the sushi tasted very fresh. I also enjoyed the seaweed salad on the side, and the many dishes of Chinese servings scattered on the borders of the buffet. What was especially good was the lemon and General Tao chickens, which allowed you to customise your taste.

I will need to drop by for dinner (or get invited to private parties, which Kentizen does take bookings for) to get a better feel for this eatery. For only $12, and several hours free parking in cramped Chinatown, this is a great place for lunch (or quite possibly dinner) – the experience feels quite different from what I have experienced before.
