Fresh ingredients that have a pop of flavor in every bite. The menu has a wonderful variety and from what we had it was fantastic. Customer service was amazing, great staff, from the front of the house to the back. Loved the atmosphere. Definitely if you're in the mood for sushi you must stop here, you will definitely enjoy it”

“If you are headed to second city, make sure to stop by Kamehachi on your way! Not only is the food & sushi incredible, but our waitress, Bo, couldn’t have been more helpful when accommodating allergies in our group. She also made sure we got our food in time to make it to the show while also making sure to not rush us. We loved her, and can’t wait to come back soon!!!”
