I had the absolute best tofu teppanyaki here in Kamakura! I’m not even a vegetarian, but the vegetables were so packed with flavor that I cleaned my plate. The tofu had an amazing texture with a perfectly crispy batter. Even the green tea was outstanding—it tasted exactly like the one I had in Japan. This place is an absolute must-try if you love Japanese food! 😍🍵

We celebrated my son’s 14th birthday at Kamakura East Sushi and Ramen, and once again, it proved to be the perfect choice. As a family of food lovers – and with my son being a dedicated sushi fan – this restaurant has become a favourite of ours, and it never fails to impress. The food was absolutely beautiful, every dish presented with care and bursting with flavour. Although we were a little disappointed that the breaded seabass was off the menu, the starters more than made up for it – each one a delicious introduction to a memorable meal. The sushi was as fresh and delicate as always, and the ramen rich and comforting, making the whole experience truly special. The atmosphere, paired with attentive service, turned the evening into a birthday celebration we’ll remember fondly. Kamakura East continues to set the bar high for Japanese dining in Belfast– a restaurant we’ll keep returning to for many more occasions. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful evening at Kamakura Belfast on Holywood Road as a party of 11. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and exceptionally well taken care of by Rowena and her son. Rowena was not only highly competent but also genuinely personable, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the night. We had the pleasure of trying a selection of dishes from the entire menu, and each one was a delightful experience. The food was absolutely delicious—freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. As a large group, we couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. Thank you to the entire team for making our night so memorable!

Overall an amazing experience The closest experience to Kyoto in Belfast. Amazing ambiance with a really well decorated set-up right from the entrance. The sliding door is very much like in Japan. The placement of the table and the cutlery shows the attention to detail. The service is attentive without being overpowering. Extremely organized with delivery and direction of service. The food and drink was amazing the katsu was crisp and the rice had a great consistency. Highly recommend. Also tried a few sushi rolls each of them very prepared with delicate balance. I would strongly recommend this place for Japanese cuisine.
