Best sushi! Amazing service, incredibly clean restaurant, the owner is making the potstickers from scratch. It is like eating in your Japanese grandmother's kitchen. Do not miss this wonderful place !! read more

This place isn't bad, if you're used to Tacoma food. I've noticed that food in this area is under seasoned and isn't super fresh. However, this place was definitely good. Not as good as sushi places in Seattle, but still good. The staff was very friendly and the portions are pretty big for the price. Parking right in the front and this place wasn't super busy. Might be because we showed up 1 hour before closing for lunch. Overall, if you want a good sushi place in Tacoma, this is probably your best bet. read more

Solid sushi for the price. Fish was fresh and could tell it was of good quality and handled well. The only thing making it 4 stars is that the service is a bit lack luster and the place is incredibly warm in the summer. It felt cooler outside at 84 with a breeze than inside. I can imagine that it is the best sushi in this area however I haven't had any. They do a really nice job with the sushi presentation. read more

To start, hot tea and ice water. Such a selection. We really only came this time to try the sushi, which was simply Delicious! Each fish stood out in its own glory. Hachi and Salmon were slightly fatty, but with a firm texture. Tuna and the White Fish melted in your mouth. The Red snapper was firm without being chewy. Everything was so flavorful. The service was friendly and outgoing. Will definitely be back for more soon! read more

Best sushi I've had in Washington, hands down. One of the best in the country in fact. They had a place downtown Seattle for many years and I never got to visit, but you can tell they really know their stuff and how to run a restaurant properly. Go see for yourself! read more

This Japanese restaurant is the absolute BEST! I love their salmon teriyaki. The ingredients are so fresh and full of flavor! This is a family owned business and was originally located in Seattle for 20 years. Thankfully they moved to Parkland a couple of years ago and we get to enjoy their food weekly! Crystal, the server, is so personable and such an amazing server. She brightens our evening every time! If you are looking for authentic Japanese cuisine, this is the place for you 5 stars all the way around! read more

Majority of our family got food poisoning from this place yesterday. Food did not seem fresh. Place was pretty empty on a Sunday. Not so friendly staff. Big bummer. read more

I decided to try a Japanese restaurant new to me this afternoon. The restaurant is well decorated and has a welcoming vibe. I presume that the woman who waited on me is one of the owner's of this establishment. She was polite and was perfect in attending to me during my visit. The meal was excellent! Normally, my biggest gripe with Yakisoba is that it's too oily and too salty. The way the chef prepared the meal I had to day was fantastic! It had the perfect amount of oil, and the spices were perfectly balanced! There was no need to add soy sauce, and the spiciness was perfect. I was informed that spice hounds can ask for hot oil if they want to crank up the heat. I highly recommend this place to everyone in the area who appreciates great Japanese cuisine. read more

Thankful to have this amazing Japanese restaurant in the Parkland borough of Tacoma. If you like Japanese cuisine, then you'll love this hidden gem. Their quality and menu selection is off the charts. Kamei and her family are welcoming, kind and practical hosts. They have reinvented an obscure strip-mall spot into a welcoming space with amazing food. Go there for lunch and dinner, you won't regret it! There's plenty of parking in the back. read more

I tell you what this place is pretty awesome I have been meaning to get in here and try the sushi for a while and now I wish I didn't wait so long. They are very friendly here and the restaurant is very nice. I was surprised at first by the Miso soup it's really good not the bland we have to have it so here it is, it had depth to it I must say. Now I wasn't sure what I wanted so I ordered the sushi deluxe which was beautiful and I was impressed. This is a chefs choice sushi platter that did not disappoint I must say that every piece of sushi was awesome the cuts of fish were on point. To include salmon belly and white tuna, I hadn't had salmon belly before and it was excellent. I loved the buttery aftertaste. The sushi chef knows his stuff I will be coming here a lot. Totally recommend you try the place out. read more

My Husband suggested we eat here as we had conducted business nearby. We dined in on Friday 2/9/24. The restaurant was bright and very clean. Love all the decor and esthetics of the restaurant. It's gorgeous. The ambiance is very comfortable. We were fortunate to come in at a perfect time during their soft opening. We learned this is a family run business and had fairly opened up in this location in Tacoma. They previously were located in West Seattle. We ordered 2 Beautiful bentos: 1) Chicken Teriyaki and Tempura $19.95. 2) Beef Teriyaki and Tempura $20.95. The Bentos were served with rice, miso soup, sunomono salad and a seasonal fruit. We were both so delighted that the food was so delicious and tasty. Flavorful and not too sweet or salty. Perfectly made! It was BOMB.COM!!! I could tell that the flavors were slightly different (fresh and tweaked) - All positive! So Loved it! For the price we paid. The portions served was well worth it 100%. Our server, the owners beautiful daughter (forgot her name-please forgive me) was truly pleasant and kind. She wore a pretty smile while happily serving us. Our server surprised us with a cute little dessert (don't know the name). It was crispy on the exterior filled with vanilla ice cream with cherry on top. It was not too sweet. It was delicious and the perfect amount too! That was truly sweet of her. What an awesome way to end our lunch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We definitely will return again and again!! =)) read more

Overall, a solid sushi place. Our server was really nice and on top of dishes, water etc. Interior wise, clean and new. My husband said the decoration was a bit tacky but honestly, I didn't hate it. Food wise, I wasn't hugely excited about the first 3 rolls but that's probably because I'm not big on a lot of tobiko/masago and every single roll had copious amounts of it. In fact, my husband really enjoyed them! The last two rolls we got I enjoyed more. They were slightly bigger, too. We enjoyed the fish to rice ratio, as well, they don't skimp. Our only true con is the Vietnamese coffee - it was flavored coffee and it tasted off. I've never not finished a cup and I couldn't do it here. Overall, I recommend! read more

This was my first time here when I didn't love everything. They had a giant tree up for Christmas and it was the perfect size and touch for the space. The agedashi tofu was delicious, I've been trying to find a place that has it and is good since my favorite spot stopped serving it. The vegetable yakisoba was flavorful and pretty tasty. The only issue for me was my donburi. The pork cutlet was extremely try and hard to chew which kinda made the dish pretty meh. The service, as always, was on point and friendly. Will I be back? Sure. Will I get the katsu donburi? Probably not. read more

My hubby was the one that chose the place to eat tonight. May I say Great Choice! I hadn't had sushi for a long while and this place was in our neck of the woods. From the outside, you would think it's a typical teriyaki corner spot but when you walk in, oh my it is spacious and nice and clean and so cute!! I really like the way it felt in here. The staff were nice (you could tell it's a family run business. ) The food was great. We ordered the agedashi tofu and soft shell crab. So flavorful. The tofu was presented so beautifully and the crab looked like one piece but was already sliced into 4 for easy eating. It same with a cabbage slaw with that delish sesame dressing on it. Yummy!! Then of course the sushi. They use real snow crab. Not imitation crab meat!! It's so delicate and tasty!! I ate slow to savor every bite. They look to be fairly new to the area so it's just a matter of time before they start getting busy. This place is a hidden gem for now but not for long. Quality food. They put love in it! You can tell. If you're in the area, stop by. Just know they don't have Uni but that's okay. They're still yummy. read more

Friendly waitstaff, good food, good prices, very pleasant atmosphere. Nice sushi options. It's become our families go to sushi place.

When FRANK B has craving for taste of the orient it's KAMEI SUSHI that is my go to joint. I'm a big fan of the beef Yakisoba light on the cabbage and a side of Tako Sushi, that's octopus for you troglodytes! Family business treating me like a god every time which is always appreciated. Customer service is huge and I love just as mush as the food. Like most authentic sushi joints you can watch the chef carve up your sushi needs right before your eyes. Anyways I'm sure you'll find something to consume and you'll LOVE IT! read more

We were in the area and Yelp suggested Kamei Sushi but they were closing in 58 mins. I called ahead to confirm that we would be seated as we were only two miles away and they said we would, There was one family there but they left as we were seated. It's a small family owned business (mom and dad in the kitchen and their daughter served us) and the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. The food was so fresh and delicious and came out fast. I was enjoying it so much I only got a few pictures. If you are ever in the area you should stop by and give them a try. Support local small business! read more

Today was our second time eating at Kamei at their new location. We were regulars at their West Seattle location, they were in West Seattle for 22 years and very very popular. Everything was soooo good today, as it always is. Well worth the 1 hour drive in rush hour traffic from Seattle. Service was wonderful, and the food came out fast and fresh. We were a party of 6, and we ordered approximately 18-20 items. Every single thing was succulent, fresh, tender and absolutely delicious. Folks down in Tacoma are so lucky to have this amazing restaurant in their neighborhood. If you've been thinking about checking them out, just GO - you won't regret it! read more

Love this restaurant! High quality ingredients and great portions, and the owner Vo is so sweet and attentive. You can tell a lot of care goes into her dishes as well as the inside decor (from the lucky cat mural to each table having fresh flowers). We ordered the Tataki Ahi (which features real snow crab) and Black Mamba rolls. We also had the calamari and seared salmon salad. Our delicious lunch ended with some green tea ice cream. The owner told us that business has been on the slow side since she had to relocate from West Seattle about a year ago, so I hope that other customers see what a gem of a place this is and give their support. read more
