" Kamakura was quite impressive upon my visit last week. The sushi was incredibly fresh, especially the sashimi, which melted in my mouth. The layout of the place is simple yet elegant, creating a memorable dining experience. I was also pleased to see an extensive vegan menu that rivals many others in the area. The service was attentive without being intrusive, although it felt a bit slower than usual. Overall, a beautiful spot that I look forward to visiting again for another delicious meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came to Kamakura after hearing a lot of praises, and now we know why! The food is savory, and with a wide variety of sushi rolls, it's hard to choose! I enjoyed their spicy tuna roll, and it did not disappoint; the flavor was incredible. The atmosphere is chic and modern, a great place for sushi lovers. The only drawback was the service was a bit slow during peak hours, but the food made up for it! Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my last visit to Kamakura, I was a bit disappointed. The service was slower than I anticipated despite it not being too busy. I specifically asked for recommendations as a first-time visitor, but the staff seemed unsure and took some time to respond. However, the food, when it finally arrived, was of expected quality—fresh and delicious. I had the velvety tempura and some rolls, which were well made. While the sushi had great taste, I think the staff needs more training on menu knowledge and customer interaction. If the service improves, I would certainly give them another try.

It definitely lives up to its reputation. I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! This restaurant has been on my list for ages, and I finally got to visit for a special dinner. The vegan sushi was delicious—their ingredients tasted really fresh, making a significant difference. The service was friendly, but we did wait longer for our sushi than I would have liked. Nonetheless, once it arrived, the aesthetic presentation and flavors were outstanding! The ambiance is calming, and I appreciated being able to relax while enjoying my meal. For anyone on the fence, I highly recommend Kamakura! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Kamakura last weekend after a friend's recommendation and was left quite impressed. The restaurant offered a delightful mix of traditional and innovative sushi rolls, making it hard to choose! I tried their signature rolls which were delightful and satisfying. The decor was inviting, and I felt a warm ambiance that made the dining experience pleasurable. Unfortunately, the service was a tad slow, particularly in getting our drinks; however, they apologized for the wait. Overall, I think Kamakura has great potential, but they might need to streamline some of their processes a bit. " (*Curated Review*)
