A true gem! Amazing food and staff. Feels like stepping off the streets of SSF into Japan. You will be happy if you order off the menu, or delighted with Omakase. See you again soon, Kamu Sushi!

I came here for the first time and I was not disappointed at all. I had their sashimi platter, and it was beautifully plated. Sushi pieces were smaller than most. It doesn't come with soup, salad, or rice. If they included these , then it'll be perfect.

New favorite sushi spot! I almost don't want to write this review because I want to keep this spot from getting too crowded. It's small and gets crowded fast. Great ambiance, friendly wait-staff and chefs. Wide selection of rolls and other eats. Our waitress was previously a regular customer and knew what she was talking about. Definitely try the chef's choice omakase. You can set a per person budget and they will put together a delicious selection right then and there. Will be fulfilling many sushi cravings here in the future!

Beautifully presented Japanese dishes with good quality fish and presentation. We visited here right before our trip out of town because of the location to the airport and the restaurant did not disappoint. Sashimi cuts are smaller than at other restaurants, and are “bite size” like the name, Kamu. We’ve done Omakase here before which was also a nice experience. Try the desserts at the end if you have room to spare.

I recently visited Kamu Sushi with my mother and wife, and we opted for the $100 per person Omakase selection. It was an unforgettable experience! Every piece of fish was incredibly fresh and simply delicious, showcasing the chef's skill and passion. The service was outstanding—friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Each course was a delight, and with such thoughtful presentation. I highly recommend Kamu Sushi for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch sushi! We can’t wait to come back soon!

First visit and I'm glad i was early to get a seat. The sake salmon belly are fresh and seasoning are just nice without overpowering the fresh taste of salmon. Chicken katsu are a bit dry but go qell with the sauce. The preserved ginger is just the way i like it - tender and sweet
