Kami is a gem of a restaurant in Manchester! We are so happy to have this cozy and wonderful place in our small town. We often prefer it over other Asian restaurants in bigger cities. Have been here so many times and just haven't taken the time to write a review. Every time we go it's a four to five star experience. I wouldn't expect any restaurant to be beyond perfect and still be reasonably priced. Kami is an admirable blend of comfortable ambience, friendly service, and high quality food and drinks. I love their sushi and I've had sushi my entire adult life. It's always fresh and prepared well. Their other Asian dishes and hibachi-style dishes are also great. I've only ever had one thing I wasn't crazy about, and even it was still good. Their cocktails are also delicious. I recently had a strawberry and gin concoction that was amazing and had fresh muddled strawberries in it. I'm a huge supporter of Kami and appreciate everything their staff does to bring such an enjoyable restaurant experience to our little area of middle Tennessee. If you're passing through, or live here, you can't miss this restaurant! read more

I love that that Kami is thriving in Manchester!My favorite is the red curry and my husband enjoys the sushi. Service is always great with prompt seating and food arrives quickly. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and has a nice atmosphere. We eat there 2-4 times monthly and always leave pleased. read more

Wow! Fast! Fresh! Friendly! Firecracker shrimp appetizer was super fast and delicious! Had a spicy tuna and spicy salmon both were amazing! Will definitely come back! read more

Kami Sushi & Asian Kitchen - Decoration - Japanese Near Me - Manchester, Tennessee

My husband took me here for dinner because he knows I love sushi. He isn't a sushi person, but he was able to order some other foods like steak and tempura. Food was delicious, service was good and restaurant is very clean. The only thing I wasn't pleased with was having to use a QR code to see the menu. I'd prefer an actual physical menu. read more

We stumbled on this wonderful spot and had great drinks and hibachi dinners with some sushi sprinkled in

This was my second time at this establishment although my last time. We placed our order 25-30mins fine we get there in 20 minutes had to wait on our order another 50 minutes. It's was not crowded. The food for the price horrible. ( Rice in the Sushi hard. Serving low grade seafood. Shrimp dumplings had pieces of shrimp more wrapper than anything. If you want your business to thrive serve the quality of food that you are advertising. read more

Sushi was delicious. Rolled perfectly, presentation was fire, and tasted like a 5 star restaurant. I was so impressed with the sushi chef's. They are the top of the top. Excellent job!!! read more

Excellent! Right in the heart of historic Manchester, this cozy Asian restaurant has a great selection and everything we've tried has been delicious. Great setting and exceptional service read more

Visual of what was uneatable, sad was one of my favorites. Also a ceiling tile fell and started leaking water. Would recommend skipping by this one. Service was also very terrible. read more

Kami Sushi & Asian Kitchen - Chicken Hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Manchester, Tennessee

What a find in an unexpected area of TN. Extensive menu of dishes and sushi rolls plus starters. Had the avocado salad and Godzilla roll. Salad was fresh and layers of taste and roll was excellent without any soy sauce and fresh. Nice beer selection with locally represented. Nice stop between Nashville and Chattanooga. Will return read more

Came here on a Friday night just before 5. We were seated right away. The waiter was very nice and friendly. Part of the table ordered sushi and the other ordered hibachi. So here's my issue with the restaurant. Hibachi items came out way before the sushi. I was finished with my food before the sushi came out. Everyone's food was good but, the kitchen really needs to get their timing down. Really impacts the dining experience when the meals aren't served at, or near, the same time. read more

Needed some grub and found ourselves at Kami Sushi. Didn't go for any sushi, but there's lots of other stuff on the menu. We all had hibachi and it was some of the best I've had. The food was flavorful and so good. read more

Kami was hands down one of the most frustrating dining experiences I've had in a long time and it was all because of the bar. We waited an absurd amount of time for our drinks. Not fancy, complicated, smoke-infused cocktails. Basic drinks. It took so long that we were halfway through our appetizers before anything even showed up. By the time the drinks finally arrived, the excitement (and honestly, the patience) was completely gone. If you're going to run a restaurant with a bar, the bar needs to function properly. Waiting 20-30+ minutes for a simple drink order is unacceptable. The food might have been decent, but it's hard to enjoy anything when you're stuck feeling ignored and dehydrated. The whole experience felt disorganized and poorly managed. If you're planning to go to Kami, either skip the drinks entirely or be prepared to test your patience. I won't be rushing back. Overall, the management was genuinely terrible and made me never want to go back. read more

WOW!!! This place is our #1 favorite place to go to. The food I'd outstanding, great service. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. read more

We came in after a recommendation and we haven't had sushi since we moved here. We got a few appetizers like a Kami salad octopus sashimi and appetizer sashimi platter . The tuna and salmon were great on my entree came with ginger and wasabi in a martini glass . Wife's kani salad was great as well and just like back home in NY. The octopus was a little tough but still delicious. Everything was very fresh and they have a wide selection of meals to choose from. We'll come back again. read more

Kami Sushi is great! Good food, charming atmosphere, friendly staff. Highly recommend. Will be back.

We reminisced to Old Timers Day in Manchester on this glorious fall day! We wanted to experience Kami Sushi & Asian Kitchen on the beginning of the Korean Thanksgiving holiday (Chuseok- Fall Harvest). The restaurant is a little hidden off Highway 41 on the back side of the courthouse square in Manchester. The restaurant is authentic with its ambiance of decorative dining room with a sushi expert preparing fresh dishes! The service was extremely inviting and friendly to cater to each guests quickly and efficiently! The menu was extensive with every Asian cuisine to enjoy over and over! I had Hibachi Steak and Chicken with steamed vegetables that were cooked perfectly. My wife had California Rolls and Hibachi Shrimp with noodles. It was well worth the long drive to enjoy the food, festival, and gorgeous sunny weather read more

This place surprised our entire party of 5 with its quality and value. No shade on Manchester, TN, but its rural vibe and quaint small town feel didn't exactly scream "great sushi" at first glance. We were wrong. We ordered a variety of entrees, a few appetizers, and 3 different sushi. Everything was fresh, tasty and appropriately proportioned. Even more surprisingly, our total check was less than a strip mall Asian buffet that we stopped at the previous day. Recommended and a definite stop next time we're in the area. read more

Best sushi restaurant in town!!! If you want sushi, don't go anywhere else. Delicious food, clean, affordable prices, and friendly staff.

We stopped here on the way home, and what a great find! I had the Mexican Spicy Tuna sushi, which isn't technically a roll, but tuna and a kind of spicy pica de gallo on chips, a fantastic marriage of flavors and textures that will definitely have me coming back! John had the Korean Chicken Wings and Tom Kha soup, both of which he loved! read more

I'm a regular. I always get sushi here, and it's always excellent. If you want to be extravagant, go for the ultimate sushi and sashimi combo (see photo). Cost is $40, so not cheap, but could be a lot more. My wife loves the steak and chicken hibachi. This is a new place, and they haven't figured out timing quite yet. Often the sushi comes out after the hibachi stuff, because it takes longer to prepare. Also, I once had an addon order take about 45 minutes to show up. Probably because they put it in the back of the line behind a bunch of full orders. They learn from their mistakes, though. I expect in a year's time they will have ironed out the organization problems. If the food is great, the rest doesn't matter much. If the food isn't great, no matter how good the service is it won't be enough. read more

Service was great. Miso soup is literally water. You're better off going to Kroger or Publix for sushi for more flavor and less rice. The hibachi is OK but small portions and the fried rice has no egg or veggies in it. read more

Austin was our server he was amazing. But the manager Mika was on a little power trip. He had a little DS syndrome. We didn't know that we couldn't seat ourselves and to be treated like crap and to spend that much money. We will go back, but not when Mika is managing. we did tip Austin really well because he was an amazing server. Just be careful when you go there. Watch out for the management. read more

By far the best Ramen and steamed dumplings I've ever had since moving to Nashville 6 years ago. We love Asian inspired food and it's very hard to find something that is this authentic. we will 100% be coming back here. we had the steamed dumplings, Ramen, and a sushi. the Sushi was fantastic as well. service was great and the prices are perfect. read more

What an amazing little gem in the heart of Manchester! The Ramen and Bao Buns are phenomenal! The sushi is also delicious! I ate the bao buns so quick I didn't get a photo. read more

Fantastic food, it is new so they are working on hiring for faster service but food is fantastic

My family has dined at Kami a few times now. For both dinner and lunch. The food is delicious. I have only gotten the sushi so far. My husband loves the Raman and the kids love the chicken satay and sushi. Give them some grace when is comes to their kitchen and service as they open this wonderful restaurant. read more

Awesome food!! Sushi was fresh and delicious, our server was very kind and friendly as well. Well decorated and even had bonsai trees inside! read more

A treasure for Manchester. We walked in at 8pm and were seated quickly in their very spacious and well decorated dining room. The service was exceptional: you can tell you're in a family restaurant that cares about their reputation. Food came out quick, hot, and fresh. My tonkatsu ramen was just what I wanted: savory, hot, REAL chasu with char marks and flavor, presented in a way that was appealing to my eyes and tummy. The Golden Phoenix sushi roll blew my socks off: the grilled flavor of the roll combined with the tangy sauce was a welcome treat. My wife's chicken and salmon hibachi was huge, and came out hot and equally easy on the eyes. We spent a little over $50 and that was with drinks. I really hope more people try this place so I can continue to eat here. It's an excellent spot for a date night, or any other night out away from the home kitchen. So say no to fast food, and support local eateries; Give Kami a try. read more

Good portioning size and fresh fish. They did not have any saki to choose from, but not a show stopper. Overall good food and service

The service was ATROCIOUS! Took over 1.5 houses just to get food! Although after finally getting our food it was great! the restraint was decorated beautifully read more
