The food was fine but not remarkable. The blue fin tuna nigiri was the best dish. The tuna tartar was not evidently sushi grade, had limited tuna, and seemed semi cooked. The sashimi starter was ok pieces were very thin. I did not enjoy the bao bun bbq sauce. The makis were fine. But overall it was extremely expensive for what it was. I find the high rating here puzzling. For sushi lovers I would recommend 312 fish market instead.

Just had a nice meal this evening. They just opened around 3:30 on Sunday we’re getting ready for guests.Atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy as it can only seat about 18-20 people total.We ordered a maki roll of salmon avacado and it was fresh and tasty.I ordered a gyoza ramen. Broth was tasty, gyoza were hot and crispy.Friendly attentive service.

So good 10/10!!! I always get take out from here and it's one of the best places in the city for affordable &high quality sushi!

Intimate sushi spot in Lincoln Park with great nigiri and sashimi. I've been to Kameya twice and both times I have had a pleasant experience. The waitstaff is attentive and friendly and the food is fresh. If you dine-in call ahead as there are only about six tables in the restaurant. I have tried their rolls and they are good but the nigiri and sashimi are the standouts. Oh and get the miso soup too!

We decided to stop in after a day exploring Lincoln Park! The cozy, intimate setting was perfect to enjoy a warm bowl of ramen. We started with the cheese balls, which were an inventive take on crab rangoon. I enjoyed the crunchy exterior, sweet sauce on top, and warm cheesy filling. They definitely needed some help with seasoning, but the soy sauce on the table helped add the perfect touch of salt and umami. I ordered the Vegetable Gyoza Ramen, and was very happy with my choice! As a pescatarian, I loved that they had a choice of veggie broth, and a few ramen options I could try (unlike many ramen places I've been to). I was excited to try the gyozas and thought they were a great addition to the dish! I ordered mine spicy, and although there was a rather hearty scoop of chili paste, I was missing some spice for sure. Next time I will definitely order the extra spicy, and hopefully that will have the kick I was looking for. The broth although pretty tasty, definitely needed some help with seasoning as well. I added lots of soy sauce and that was the perfect touch to add some depth of flavor to the soup. The noodles had a great chew, and the veggies were cooked well.Overall, the service was great, and we enjoyed the food and cozy ambiance. We will definitely be back if in the neighborhood and craving some ramen!

This charming sushi spot has great ambiance and even better sushi. We sat at an outside table on the intimate sidewalk patio with string lights. Restaurant is BYOB and there is a liquor store conveniently across the street. All three rolls were delicious. We will be back!

This is easily the best Japanese food I’ve had in a very long time.The sashimi (tuna, salmon, white tuna) were all so fresh. The hamachi collar was to die for. Age dashi tofu was excellent. Everything was just fresh, tasty and delicious.And the service was outstanding. Our first time, but certainly won’t be the last.

The food was amazing and the customer service is excellent. This was my 2nd time going here and the food was just as good as the first time I went. I will definitely return to this restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone that loves ramen and sushi.
The service was not great. Our server did not understand our order very well and then left before we got our food. We had to ask for another server. The food was decent, but I don't plan to go there again based on the experience.

Great restaurant! My kids love the food! It's a great place for takeout in addition to eating in. The fried chicken appetizer dish is a must. Their noodle soups are really good. I also enjoyed the appetizer that looks like a taco.
