    We loved our server but service was very slow in our opinion. We love Kamehachi Northbrook and we felt this location had a better atmosphere but slower service.

    Such a great experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service was impressively quick. What really stood out was the atmosphere. Everyone seemed genuinely happy, and the whole restaurant had such positive, welcoming energy. Great food, excellent service, and an overall wonderful dining experience. Definitely a place I’d recommend and come back to!

    Happy hour at Kamehachi Old Town is a steal. Two of us did the rock shrimp, pork gyoza, nigiri sampler, walu, green turtle roll and a few sakes of the day. Out the door around $140 with tip. Food came out quick, Joseph was solid. We'll be back.

    Server was excellent with my gluten allergy and knew the menu well and gave great recommendations. Felt very taken care of and didn’t have any gluten reaction.

    I always take a seat at the sushi bar! It’s the best seat at this Chicago institution! I often order sashimi and I order pre piece of the freshest fish! I’ve been coming here and their former location down the street!

    We have been to Kamehachi many times but have never written a review. It's such a wonderful atmosphere that is very welcoming. The staff is personable, food is delicious and pricing is very reasonable. If you are looking for a relaxing dinner in a busy area, this is it. You won't be disappointed!!
