| - Aw, poor Kamakura, why all the hate?
I have a soft spot for this place, because it's been a family favorite for YEARS - my dad took us there when they first opened because he had recently discovered sushi (remember when not everyone was aware of this heaven? However passé it may be now, sushi had it's place 10ish years ago...), and we continued going back periodically. Mostly for special occasions (my Prom group went here senior year), because for our standards at the time it was pricey.
We still stop in most every time I visit, usually for the Teppan. I can't tell if the chefs/waiters aren't as jazzed about their restaurant as they used to be, or if it's just my perspective that's changed. Either way, the experience is never "special" like it was back in the day.
Still, they do well. I'm surprised at the negative reviews because, to be honest, Kamakura would likely earn a solid 3.5-star average where I currently hail from (LA), and I would have thought we had higher standards for cuisine -- especially of the Asian variety -- out here. !
