What a gem hidden in the corner of a strip mall. Sushi to die for. Great selection, made fresh and served with a smile.

The food was great, but too big, in a bad way… need more cut, especially at the edges in the roll… but the service was really good, and taste was also nice. We spend $40 per person.

I've been a sushi lover for years, and I can confidently say that Kamakura has completely captured my heart (and taste buds)! Walking in, you're greeted with a warm ambiance that sets the tone for a lovely experience. Let's talk about fresh, flavorful, and expertly crafted food. Every piece melts in your mouth, showcasing the chef's dedication to quality and authenticity. Whether you're a fan of traditional nigiri or adventurous rolls, they have something for everyone. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or just looking for a local dining experience, Kamakura is an absolute must-visit.

Probably my new go to spot for good value sushi in the neighborhood after my old spot shut down we ordered this place for takeout and the bento boxes are honestly a great deal. A lot of food for just $20. Will definitely come back. They also gave us a free roll after they made the wrong one by accident.

Quaint place with amazing service.The sushi was one of the best in the area. Sashimi was so good, and the cherry roll tasted amazing.The katsu on the other hand was mediocre. The meat was tough to chew and was overdone. Skip the katsu and go for the sushi!

Food sucked. Period. It's not Japanese. Karaage was old and dry, the Don Buri had a weird taste, and the Sushi was inedible. I lived in Japan 20 years. It's not a Japanese taste. Also....this is not owned by Japanese....it's Chinese or something....and they don't know how to make Japanese food.

Food was quite mixed, some items were ok others below expectations. I missed the wasabi in the tuna maki rolls which were too dry. It's the worst tuna maki I have had. The shrimp tempura met the expectations, being crispy and juicy. The dipping sauce was weird, watery and lacking taste. The pod stickers were odd in taste, again lacking taste, were gummy instead of crispy. Service was fast and friendly. But overall the food did not deliver Japanese authenticity. I won't be back.

Our first visit to Kamakura and it won't be our last. Their location is in a small strip mall in the Houghton neighborhood of Kirkland. Tucked in the corner, its home is unassuming and modest. Delicious and fresh ingredients made our tastefully prepared meals standout for subtle flavor, warm sushi rice with just the right amount of moisture, balanced proportions of batter to chicken and shrimp, and texture in every bite. Service here is excellent, thoughtful and attentive. We will certainly be back!

First time coming here and the sweet hostess was super kind and knowledgeable about the menu. She was kind enough to help me decide on what I want to eat. She explained thoroughly what was on the menu and to understand better what I was craving for. The restaurant itself is on the small side and I only had to wait for 25 mins for my table. After I received my delicious sushi roll I was very satisfied. I ordered the Kamakura roll and it was packed with flavor. I enjoy the fact that I was able to taste everything. One thing I noticed was the temperature of the sushi which for me seemed a bit too warm for being a sushi. Regardless, I really enjoyed my dinner and I thank my server for helping me to decide what was the best sushi to get...and she got it right on! Enjoy!

This is NOT authentic Japanese. Sorry. The high rating is from people who know nothing about Japanese food.The karaage was OLD! Not fresh. The Katsudon taste was waaay off....not Japanese. Sorry.It tastes bad. It's not a Japanese taste. The price is too high.The sales person is not Japanese. Maybe Chinese.The fried chicken wasn't freshly cooked, it was old.
