“Always good.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

The sashimi and sushi are fresh and authentic - the fish is fresh. My favourite - tekamaki is as good as in Japan. It's not cheap but always a worth while treat.

“Lots of food for the money and excellent quality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 27, 2012

I will definitely go back. This was an authentic Japanese restaurant in San Salvador with very friendly service. I had spicy tuna roles and a Ramon soup dish. Both were excellent and I had more than half my food to take home so it was very well priced for the quantity. I also had a traditional Japanese soda that was very interesting. The menu was extensive and the local great, one block from the Crown Plaza Hotel.

“The Best!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 11, 2012

The place is superb!!! Loved the decoration and the staff is great, plus is that the owner is there in situ. Had four rolls which the ceviche roll was one of the best Ive tried. I totally recomend Kamakura for a nice dinner or lunch. Enjoy!!

“What you can expect!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 29, 2012

Japanese restaurant I have visited several times, we went especially for Sushi. It will satisfy your taste buds, if Sushi is the reasoned for your visit, but nothing special! The original owner was a Japanese lady, but since I was told it was sold few years ago? The secret to good sushi, rice and good fresh cut of fish! Most sushi restaurants, owned by non Japanese fail on rice! It is not cooked properly, not cooked well enough and seasoning with vinegar is not a proper mix, then comes the cut and freshness of fish. kamakura uses wooden box to form their sushi rather than by hand. You will find sushi restaurants everywhere these days, especially with their popularity, but exercise caution. The appearance of fish under the glass display case will be the first indicator. They do fair job with rolls.
