Being allergic to shrimp I don't have a lot of options while trying sushi. That's when we came across Kamakura. We had the vegan sushi and the lychee sake. The vegan sushi was amaaaazing!! Very flavorful and delicious. The ambience is cute with cherry blossoms indoors and the service was pretty quick as well. I would highly recommend the vegan rolls!

Kamakura is a casual sushi spot. Kinda confusing to find the front door. You order on a tablet and ring a bell for hell. Our waitor was very nice, we were seated pretty quickly. Food came out decently fast! Decent lowkey sushi spot. There's a few gluten free options, wish there was a bit more.

We come here every now and then, and the sushi never disappoints. The menu has plenty of items to choose from. The service is always good and the staff is friendly. The parking can be tough as it's on a busy street.

Kamakura in Fremont is a solid choice for sushi that tries hard to accommodate everyone, including those with food sensitivities (like nut allergies) and Vegans (they have a whole other Vegan menu). The restaurant is welcoming, unassuming, and casual. I loved how friendly the sushi chefs and staff are. Plus, the food tasted amazing! We especially found their Avocado Bomb to taste, well, BOMB!!! Happy Hour is Monday to Friday from 12-5:30pm.

How I heard of this place: We were ready for dinner at a local spot in Fremont, but the wait was going to keep us from being seated for over 45-minutes, we walked down the way (with so much selection in Fremont) and found a busy Kamakura, but without the long wait. Type of cuisine: "What makes Kamakura unique is our dedication to using the freshest, high-quality ingredients, sourced from trusted suppliers to ensure a premium sushi experience. Our chefs skillfully employ traditional techniques to craft exquisite sushi and sashimi, complemented by a menu that features both classic favorites and inventive specialty rolls. We also have a completely separate vegan menu with a large variety of dishes available." Ambiance: This is a beautiful restaurant, with a calm, ambient feel inside. From the decorations and colors, to the soft lighting and subdued service, we felt right at home and comfortable in the establishment. A sushi bar is available for seating alone or with a friend, while seating at tables and half-booths is also an option when dining in groups. The slanted bamboo/straw ceiling with exposed wood adds a nice, warm, homey touch. What I ordered: One friend enjoyed the katsu, while the rest of us chose various rolls of sushi. For me, the Caterpillar Roll - unagi, krab, cucumber topped with avocado and unagi sauce & Dragon Roll - cucumber, shrimp tempura topped with unagi and avocado. What I loved: The beautifully presented sushi. The thin slices of avocado, the freshness of vegetables and the robustness of the unagi sauce. Why I loved it: A great spot for delicious food to share with friends or devour on your own. Cost: Average to high

As a born vegetarian, sushi has never be a high option for me especially since I don't like the taste of seaweed, I tend to stay away. Kamakura delivered some delicious specialty sushi that I loved. And especially loved that they have an extensive vegan menu! We ordered the Death by Crunch Roll and the yakisoba noodles. Both were very flavorful and after having the sushi, I wish I had ordered another instead of the noodles! Service was great and speedy. It's a small place but ambiance was on point and cozy.

Kamakura was great! We didn't expect to go here, but came across it while walking and really enjoyed their food. I did a bento box, and it was great! My husband got the curry katsu and said that was also great. The service was quick and attentive. The ambiance is fine, we were sat next to the kitchen and walk way so the vibes weren't great, but further in the restaurant it looked nice.

As someone who has had their vegan and regular rolls, I'd argue that some of their vegan rolls are better then the normal ones! So many creative flavors and textures. Nice portion sizes too! And they split our checks even as a group and that's always appreciated. This and kin len's across the street have become our 2 go-to spots for celebrations. As a long time vegetarian I was used to getting boring and bland rolls, but Kamakura has changed the game Note: no reservations, even for big groups. So really 4.5, but their food makes up for their sometimes lacking service. I do appreciate the service buttons though so you don't have to flag down a waiter!
