Kameya Sushi — Restaurant in Chicago

We went there on a Saturday evening and the staff told us that it was a 5 minute wait. I thought it was funny and why not! There are valentine’s decor up and it’s so cute and romantic! I also really loved the twinkling fairy lights but I was sitting against them on the ledge of the window. It was not uncomfortable per se; it was just very narrow and inconvenient especially with all the big winter coats. They got a bit busy but the staff were still very friendly and service was great nevertheless.

We got the Takoyaki, Kameya Ramen (extra spice on the side), Kameya house roll, and Godzilla roll. The ramen was chewy and there was depth to the broth, pork belly was a little overcooked. The makisushi were delicious and the presentation was beautiful🌺 - each table had a different picture on their plate.

I also got pork gyoza and 911 salmon roll to-go. The gyoza was so yummy 🤤 (so was the salmon roll) even after I microwaved it a day later. The wrap was soft on the sides and crunchy on the bottom and the meat inside was not dry.

The bill wasn’t too bad for how much we ordered; it was...

Genuinely, one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. I was spending my last day in Chicago and wanted a good last place to eat. Unfortunately, this did not exceed or even meet my expectations. I had ordered the seafood ramen and received a bowl of lackluster broth. As I was eating, I found that there was a dead fruit fly in my food. I notified my waitress and she took it back to the kitchen. Instead of preparing me a brand new bowl of ramen, I was given the same bowl back with replaced broth. I noticed that the inclusions were the same and the pieces I had eaten were not replaced. I was very disappointed with this experience and felt it was unfair that they cut corners on food, yet I still had to pay full price, ~$30, for a bowl of ramen and six...

Decent, basic sushi but overpriced. I'd give this place 4 stars if it were a third cheaper. A rainbow roll shouldn't cost $15 and be of average quality. And a dinner that cost me almost $60 for 4 menu items and was not entirely filling left me a bit disappointed. I would have given this place 2.5 stars but they were nice enough, so rounded up instead of down. Pork buns were good, not great. Wanted to support a local restaurant but don't think I need to go back. Was worth a try. I know the restaurant biz is tough and margins are tight, but still too expensive...
