Best Sushi service in the area. The owner is a sweet lady who goes to every table personally and welcomes people and remembers every face. The sushi is great and sometimes they will even bring special appetizers to the table!

The food is at par with very good Japanese restaurants in San Francisco; not quite exceptional but very good! Fresh, authentic, local ambiance with great service! Faith (owner) is a wonderful host and the staff is very nice. Good local eats at very reasonable prices. It gets crowded starting at 6pm. Be ready for up to 30minutes wait time after 6:30! Worth it if you're in the area!

The first time I went to Kamakura, it was for a birthday party. At the end, the staff brought the birthday folks a special tray with special little sundaes and a golden tree on it, and free shots of plum wine for everyone. That's incredible service. They often treat a whole table with shots of wine or samples of something to try. The staff are all awesome, as is often the case at family-owned restaurants. The menu is also great: there are color pictures of most things, so you can see what might be in the sashimi combo platter or how the Raiders Roll is put together. It's true that it's popular and not that big, and that can be a turnoff. But the food is good and if you check out the specials above the bar you can often find toro (omg so awesome) or something equally special for sale. This is just a very nice place.

Kamakura is very popular and they clearly have a crowd of devoted regulars. It's in a lovely neighborhood in Alameda which makes for a pleasant after-dinner (or before dinner if there's a wait) walk. The staff was friendly but sadly, the sushi was only mediocre. That's a terrible let-down when you've waited 30 minutes for a table. And if you dont live right in Alameda, there's too much spectacular sushi just across the bridge to warrant a trip here.

Kamakura is a nice neighborhood Japanese restaurant that has been serving Alameda residents for decades. Kamakura has a typical ho-hum atmosphere found at most Japanese restaurants. I found Kamakura to be quite a small restaurant; there's only room for about fifty patrons.The food is decent, but nothing too special. The fish was fresh enough. The prices are typical for a Bay Area Japanese Restaurant, $10-15 per entree. The service wasn't anything too great. However at the end of our dinner, the restaurant's owner, Faith, greeted us. I believe she does this with all her customers, so that was very nice. I'd marginally recommend this restaurant. I believe that there are better Japanese restaurants in the East Bay.
