    The food was enjoyable, but the service and overall experience fell short, removing this classic spot from my rotation. The staff seemed unprepared—wearing winter coats indoors, and the hostess doubling as our server. It took nine requests to get low-sodium soy sauce, and when my nephew ordered a cola, we were told there would be a delay in refilling the machine. Despite having several patrons, the staff seemed ill-equipped to handle the evening. The atmosphere felt off, and the service failed to live up to the restaurant’s former charm. Unfortunately, it’s not worth revisiting—the place has changed.

    We always have a good experience here! Love the saki options, sushi is amazing (nigiri in particular), our server was fantastic (attentive, knowledgeable, funny, affable), the specials are always fun to try, and the mochi—according to my daughter—is yummy!

    Sky was great, was able to answer all my groups questions. Good cocktails and sake. Ebi shumai and hiyashi wakame were very good. Sushi was fresh and well prepared. Will be back soon.

    I haven’t eaten here since I left Chicago. In fact, the last time I ate there, was in their old location. I am happy to say that nothing has changed in. This restaurant is still outstanding. The tuna sashimi and the rolls that we had were all terrific. The Hamachi jalapeño was also very good. They had a nice selection of wine and for a fair price. The service was very good as well. They had some nice background music that wasn’t invasive, but you could still hear and enjoy. The next time I am back in Chicago and I want sushi. This will be my go to destination.

    I recently visited Kamehachi Old Town for dinner, and it was an exceptional experience! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with a mix of contemporary and traditional Japanese elements. The service was outstanding – our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was absolutely delicious! I tried the Dragon Roll, which was perfectly fresh and beautifully presented. The sushi was top-notch, and the flavors were incredible. I also enjoyed the tempura and edamame appetizers. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, Kamehachi Old Town is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Japanese cuisine. I'll definitely be coming back!
