    Review is based on quick bite experience. Menu offering had ample to choose from. Pricing was decent and service was good. It seems like here's a lot of regulars who dine here based on the interaction the owner had with the customers coming in after work. We ordered two rolls, miso soup, calamari, hand roll, and salmon nigiri. With tip, it came out to $125. Everything tasted good. I would probably request light sauce next time; as it took away from the texture of the rolls. The decor and ambiance is clean and represents a traditional Japanese restaurant.

    Friend roll (no rice)

    Had a great lunch here! We were the only ones there as it was an awkward time for lunch. I really enjoyed the friend roll which is a soy paper roll with no rice. The miso soup and edamame were great. The dinner special sushi was a great deal with lots of different types of fish etc. Lots of tables and a good vibe for a casual sushi lunch or dinner!

    This is by far our favorite sushi place in Carmel Mountain Ranch and area. We go here for our kids birthdays, special occasions and for last day of school year dinners. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick and accurate. We've gone here so many times now that we know exactly what to order for everyone in our family. We food tastes great. We love the crispy salsa tuna and the yuzu ponzu yellowtail sashimi (both under chef specials on the menu). Their nigiri is real good too. Also try the Kangnam Style. It's lots of fish and salad combined. It's delish!

    Our family's go to sushi spot for a long time and for good reason. The staff is so friendly every time and the fish quality is always extremely high, with generous cuts. Their lunch menu is also an amazing value. It's a small but cozy space and will continue to be a staple for us!

    Happy to find another good sushi joint in the area! This is a casual sushi restaurant nestled in the same complex as Yesenia's Mexican food and Home Depot. They have an extensive menu with sushi rolls, entrees, appetizers, noodles, drinks, fried rice, desserts, and even boba! I got the lunch box which comes with 2 entrees, miso soup, rice, side salad, and 2 pieces of dumpling for $16.95. The prices were fair and competitive and the food came out lightening fast but still hot and fresh. We left happy and full. Would definitely consider coming back for more!

    Still my ultimate fav sushi spot!!!! Place is always clean, and staff are wonderful. Food is ALWAYS fresh and the taste is amazing!!!!

    Been coming here for YEARS. Still our favorite local sushi spot. Everyone is friendly and sushi is solid. Our go to roll is a protein roll called Caliente. We always order this. A new favorite is called Sunflower, which is on their half off menu.

    Angry Caterpillar roll
    Angie H.

    DEF one of my FAVORITE spots for sushi!! I went here on a whim while we were getting Mexican food next door. - Salmon lover 10/10 Salmon on top was very fresh. Lemon garnish, amazing. On the inside was cooked salmon and not imitation crab. Very good! Would order again! - Angry caterpillar 10/10 Like a regular caterpillar roll except it has a bunch of fried onions on top. Very delicious and complex flavor.

    Lunch special with katsu and salmon roll. Miso soup is included!

    I've been here twice - once for lunch and once for dinner. During both visits, the restaurant was clean and not too busy, and I was seated immediately by welcoming staff. During my lunch visit, I got one of their lunch specials that is formatted like a bento. I chose to have a salmon roll and chicken katsu. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the bento. There was not an excessive amount of rice, which I actually appreciated, and the katsu was larger than I expected. Everything was freshly made and seasoned just right for me! My friend got the chirashi from the lunch menu, and it was beautiful, but had a bit too much rice. The rice was well-seasoned, and the fish was fresh. When my partner and I came back for dinner, we ordered a variety of rolls and the calamari appetizer. Everything came out pretty quickly, and the calamari was hot and delicious. For the rolls, we chose the sunflower roll, the California roll and the soft shell crab roll. I really appreciated the ratio of rice to filling, and while everything was seasoned right, we weren't a fan of the soft shell crab roll (a bit too fishy for me). The California roll was pretty standard, and the sunflower roll was our favorite of the night. The sunflower roll had really good flavor and we liked the crunch (which we piled onto our other rolls when we wanted a bit more texture). With their current pricing, I would expect this quality of sushi - however, I wouldn't say this was the best sushi I've ever had. It is a solid option, though! Overall, both experiences were good, and we would visit again.

    It's been a while since we visited. In the past month, we dined in the restaurant and ordered take out. Service has gone down. Front of the house is disorganized/ignores you. Tonight, she saw me waiting but instead decided to attend to a party that just walked in. Happened when we dined in as well. Food quality has also gone down. My shrimp tempura is raw/undercooked.

    Super solid local place - prices are reasonable and you get a good amount of food. I haven't tried the actual sushi so my rating is based solely off the lunch specials.

    Star Wars
    Leslie G.

    This place is great. It was really packed at 545 pm so you know this place is really good. Really quick and friendly service. They check up on your water fill, and you can tell they care about the service they provide. Star Wars roll is 50% off and is something I normally get every time I see it on the menu. Their jalapeño wasn't the fresh kind, so I feel like it's spicier. Circus roll was really good. But my favorite (not pictured) was the tanned salmon. Inside decor is beautiful. They have a parking lot, but spaces are kind of tight. Around 630 that lot has cars circling for spots because it's packed. Highly recommended though. I see myself coming here a lot now for my sushi.

    Gyozas

    Been coming here for a few years but this is the first time I actually write a review for this sushi place. It's popular with the locals because the price is really reasonable. You can get specialty rolls for $12-16. I let my kids order sushi rolls here cuz they don't cost me my whole paycheck! For myself, I usually get the spicy seafood ramen noodle soup (the best there is!! so good!!) and salmon sashimi (very fresh!). 5 stars for food. Service can be slow during dinner because this place is crowded. However, all waitresses staff are very pleasant and patient. 5 stars for service.

The soft shell crab was tasty. The steamed gyoza was a bit bland but still good. We ordered the tuna lover, lemon roll, and another roll with shrimp tempura and fresh water eel on top. All the rolls were very tasty. The Lemon roll and tuna lover roll were my favorite. It was on the pricier side but the quality of fish was good in my opinion. I would absolutely recommend this place and if I'm ever in the area again I'd definitely stop by.

There's a lot of businesses around this area so I can see Sushi Kami being a popular spot for a go-to lunch outside of work. We came for dinner and got seated right away and it wasn't too busy at all. It was nice but still casual at the same time if that makes sense. I will say the parking was a little tight and we had to make a bit of an awkward U-turn to get to the restaurant but the lot wasn't that full so it wasn't too bad but I could see this being trickier in the daytime. I really enjoyed both the spicy tuna and salmon. I've had a lot of weird spicy tuna but this one hit just right. It's always hard to find that perfect balance between fish and spice but I really enjoyed this one. The salmon was good too. The standout was definitely the tempura we got as well. It was large and came out hot and crispy and perfect. This is the type of sushi restaurant I could take people to who don't necessarily like sushi all that much. There's lots of options on the menu including bulgogi (next time I shall try!) and really good combos for people to enjoy. Ambiance is chill but still has that fun sushi vibe with the displays of fish (and I even saw some creative fish decorating on the walls which I thought was a nice touch) Service was nice and they always refilled our waters without us having to ask. I enjoyed the food and the vibe! Would definitely come back to try more ...and brings others along too!

We ordered the Kimchi & Bacon Fried Rice, a Poke Salmon Bento Box, a Philadelphia Roll, and a Dragon Roll. The fried rice was fantastic, but the kimchi was easily my favorite part.

My partner has been slowly introducing me to sushi, and this dinner felt like another milestone. The Philadelphia Roll confirmed that I'm definitely a salmon fan, and the Dragon Roll introduced me to eel... which turns out I also really like.
