    We are big fans of kamahachi. But the service was very disappointing. And the food took a long line to be delivered

    The maki rolls were great. I had the black Cod with miso. Cooked perfect and very good. The service was so so. The server bought my Cod way before my dates maki rolls, so I was finished before she started. Normally the service is great.

    i had yet another wonderful time at kamehachi!! this place can do no wrong, in my opinion. i went with my boyfriend for our anniversary and they went the extra mile to make us feel special! the sushi always melts in your mouth and the service is fantastic! i always ask for Yordi when i make a reservation, as he is so kind, funny and has such great suggestions for food! if you are looking for a new spot for sushi or have never tried it before, this is the place to go - hands down - 5 stars!!!!!! thanks, yordi!!!!

    Great food in a lovely setting. Disappointed by the drinks though that were flat and felt watered down which did noy go with how spectacular the food was. We were told no table was available until 8.30 on Opentable (1.30 hour away) but were immediately seated when we arrived in a half empty restaurant which was strange but turned out great for us! Please improve your cocktails, we want to come back to enjoy them!

    Our server, Ben, was excellent - personable, kind, attentive, and knowledgable about the menu (food & beverages). We enjoyed the sushi and cocktails. We sat at a table outside so lots of foot traffic (as to be expected) on a nice day and our table was a bit backed up to the road, but I imagine dining inside is a totally different experience. Again, our server was excellent - much appreciated!

    I don’t often leave reviews but I was extremely disappointed in this restaurant (especially for the price). The service was good, but the sushi was honestly worse than grocery store sushi. No flavor at all and we tried 5 different rolls. Left still hungry due to small portions as well. Won’t be returning

    Honestly- amazing customer service and great drinks but the food was really bad. Not sure if it was an off day but the crab in the sushi rolls were crunchy as if the shell was still on. We got a noodle dish with beef and the beef tastes like fish we couldn’t even swallow. Not sure if it was an off day for the food but was hoping for better.

    We waited almost 30 minutes before someone came to our table and took our drink order when we arrived, then waited an additional 20 minutes or so before our drinks came out. I'm not sure if there was a shortage of servers the night we were there, but the wait times were unacceptable. We had to wave down people to get service and while our server was lovely when she came by, it took forever between requests.

    We felt super rushed by our waitress. She immediately said we need to order food before drinks to make sure things came out on time which is understandable, but the food came out just fine/faster than expected. She really wanted us gone idk. Also the food was good but we all said we had better sushi.
