"The downstairs if fun and lively but we were seated upstairs. Although upstairs is nice it is missing the fun/open atmosphere the downstairs has. Our food was very good but two of the three dishes we ordered came out cold. My entire party was really happy with the drinks."

"Nice decor, good portions on food. However there was a large party next to us that was really loud and annoying which ruined the atmosphere a bit-they should've been in a private area."

"Our group of six was seated immediately on a Friday night. Everyone loved their food, even the non-fish eater. The specials, particularly the Tasmanian salmon nigiri, were particularly delish."

"Cool new location, but service was awful. We had an 8:30 reservation on a Saturday, got there right on time and were told it would be 20 minutes for a table, then weren't spoken to again until 9:00 when we were told it would be another 15-20 minutes. Ended up sitting at the sushi bar. Sushi was okay, but Shine in LP is much better for comparable price."

"Relocated Japanese standby. Low lighting,dark woods and granite create a modern but still warm feeling inside. Food quality didn't overly impress, though. Chicken meatballs were popular but the makimono rolls were bland tasting."

"Before sushi became more common than Starbucks, Kamehachi in Old Town was the place to go for Japanese cuisine. They still have excellent quality fish, and I like the inventive combinations in their maki rolls. This location has beautiful decor, a nice bar to wait for your party to arrive, and attentive staff. Enjoy."
