Kenji is a sushi spot at 371 Beach Road, Unit 01-28, Block 1, City Gate Mall in Kallang, holding a 4.9 Google rating, with details and updates on its Facebook page. Good sushi lives or dies on the rice as much as the fish: seasoned, loosely packed grains served at the right temperature show care, while hard or over-sour rice flattens even lovely sashimi. Turnover matters too — a busy counter with a compact display case usually means the fish moves quickly and sits for less time. Regulars tend to order what the chef is cutting most of that day and eat soon after serving, rather than letting pieces linger. Tucked into City Gate Mall by the Beach Road food belt, Kenji gives Kallang and Kampong Glam a dedicated sushi option a short stroll from Nicoll Highway.
