The Samurai Roll at 25,000 COP is one of Keiko's staple offerings — the combination of both salmon and tuna gives you texture contrast, avocado adds creaminess, and sesame adds a nutty finish.
Tips from diners
Watch the chefs make the Samurai Roll if you sit at the counter — the rice press technique is clean.
The spring roll combination of salmon and fresh herbs is mentioned frequently in reviews. The shrimp and salmon work together, the rice paper is tender but not falling apart, and the herbs stay bright.
Tips from diners
Spring rolls are a great opener — light, fresh, and show the kitchen's attention to detail with herbs.
Reviewers specifically call out the salmon skin tempura across multiple platforms — the skin crisps up while staying tender inside, and the ponzu cuts through the richness. It's a simple dish that showcases Keiko's sourcing quality.
Tips from diners
Order salmon skin tempura as an appetizer — the kitchen makes it fresh and quick.
Keiko balances sushi and wok work — the stir-fry noodles come hot off the wok with the right charred flavor. Pick salmon or shrimp as your protein and the kitchen delivers consistency.
Tips from diners
Get the stir-fry noodles with salmon if you want something warm and filling — hits the spot after a long day.
Keiko's ceviche brings Peruvian technique to their Japanese-focused menu — the citrus cure is precise and the avocado is ripe. It's a lighter option for diners looking for something cold and refreshing.
Tips from diners
Ceviche is best for warm afternoon lunches — order it with ice water or a beer.
The Combo Platter at 34,000 COP is designed for groups or indecisive diners. It hits all the bases: crispy tempura, fresh nigiri, and their signature rolls, making it a one-stop introduction to Keiko's range.
Tips from diners
The Combo Platter is perfect for sharing among two people — large portion and good variety.
Keiko opened in December 2017 after owner Arnaldo and his team brought a decade of sushi expertise from Venezuela to Medellín. The kitchen produces fresh rolls daily, with a particular focus on salmon and avocado combinations that reviewers keep mentioning by name. The Laureles neighborhood location has become a reliable go-to for casual sushi and fusion meals.
Lunch is quieter than dinner in Laureles — come between 12–1 PM for quick service and a seat.
Full menu available for delivery in Laureles — arrives in 20–30 minutes if you order before 8 PM.
Saturday evenings get busy — call ahead if you're bringing a group, or expect a 15-minute wait at the counter.
The Combo Platter offers the best value-to-freshness ratio on the menu — better deals than ordering rolls à la carte.
