Kamehachi of Tokyo - Wells Street - Chicago

Kamehachi of Tokyo was originally founded in Chicago in 1967 by Marion Konishi, and is widely recognized as the first sushi bar in the city.

The restaurant offers several signature, classic and vegetarian rolls, but one of the highlights is the sushi “boat,” which serves anywhere from six to 20 people. Chef-selected sashimi and maki rolls are served in a decorative boat, and prices range $60 to $350. It’s the best bet for those with larger parties to satisfy.

Additional locations are in Northbrook, River North and in the Loop.

My friend and I came here for an early dinner and this place is big with many servers. We waited a while until someone picked up our order (the place was still empty at this time). We ordered: - Rock shrimp (good crunch, yummy sauce, good apps) - Uni (savory, creamy, delicious) - Otoro (also delicious, always a good cut to get) - Spicy tuna deluxe deluxe (not my favorite) - Spider roll (ok) The rolls were smaller than I thought but the nigiri and apps were delicious. I think its quite pricey for what you get and service can be more attentive.

When I think of Chicago, I don't think of sushi so I feel like there's no reason to be overly harsh on this place. It's neither overwhelming good or bad....

We popped over here after our tour of the Chicago History Museum and it was a fun find! The rock shrimp and scallop sushi were the best thing we ordered. The Yakisoba could have had a slightly more interesting sauce. Friendly service.

Once upon a time, this was a nicer higher end Asian restaurant. Now, we walked in and saw kids doing body shots and vaping inside, 30 minutes to get our drink order, and the place hadn't looked like it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in months ( look at the walls and the inch thick dust on the lamps and artistry ). Our waiter was the only saving grace, nice and pleasant but overall, a disappointment from what the place used to be.

We went for dinner on a Saturday night. We had made a reservation on open table and stopped in about an hour before our reservation and they had, had a no show so they were able to accommodate us. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were given excellent recommendations on both sushi and drinks. The sushi is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! We will be back the next time we are in Chicago.

Decent sushi but poor service. Kamehachi canceled our online order after charging without telling us. Only way to know was to check email. Previous order an hour late. Should be renamed ZFG Sushi. Update: Kamehachi seem to be back. Excellent food and service last few orders. Thank you!

Kamehachi was an amazing birthday dinner date! The rolls were so delicious and fresh (loved the green turtle!) and the service and atmosphere was very good! We will definitely be back!
